Was The Challenge Total Madness a Total Failure…or a Success?
Hey everyone, it’s Allan. As some of you know, I will not be doing weekly recaps of Season 41 as I’m juggling a lot on my plate right now and am not going to be able to follow the show the same way I have in the past. That said, I will be doing some Season 41 coverage in different forms. Additionally, I’m still going to do general Challenge content, including this new podcast/YouTube series where I’m going to rewatch & deep dive Challenge seasons. This week, I was joined by Jacob Hollabaugh, aka The Challenge Historian, as we examined The Challenge Total Madness. We broke down the season into 10 parts, similar to my blog recaps.
Above is the podcast in video form on YouTube, and below it will be its Spotify & Apple form.
If you wanna skip around and listen to a specific part of Total Madness that we broke down, here is the outline and time stamps:
1 The Rise & Fall of Dee Nguyen (4.56–21.50)
2 The Pandemic Gives The Challenge A Ratings Boost (21.51–30.37)
3 Wes & Bananas Finally Align (30.38–50.08)
4 The Red Skull Twists and Its Impact (50.09–1.01.10)
5 Jay’s Massive Elimination Upset Over CT (1.01.11–1.15.23)
6 Jordan & Tori’s Massive Meltdown (1.15.24–1.31.00)
