Challenge Mania - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Love all the content (especially on Patreon), and I think it’s great how passionate the two of you are about the challenge. I have no one to discuss challenge stuff with, and this fills that gap. I feel like I’m there with you!

Wasn’t sure whether I was going to learn anything new since Jakk was also on the mtv podcast but loved learning more about his personal life, the tangents on what the players could say in the confessionals and emo era, and additional insights into his game play and dynamic with Jay. Great questions too from Scott and D. Nice job!

Scott and Derrick have the best pod out there about what has become my favorite show on television. Revisit all your old favorite seasons and follow along with all the new challenge seasons. They also have amazing interviews with all your favorite challengers. Check it out!

D and Scott have been doing this for awhile and only get better.

Great content and guests, derricks energy and insight is top notch, and scotts always got the best questions.

I’ve tried to give this a fair shot, but D is too unbearable as a host. The final straw was the Kendall podcast where he was overly defensive and just was not making any logical sense and being obnoxious. Then as their guest is trying to talk about a very difficult time in her life with her hair loss, he just obviously hasn’t been listening as he clearly asks questions that she has covered. It just shows a lack of awareness and consideration.

I tried giving it chance after chance. But it seems to just be getting worse. Tons of ads with weird loud outgoing music signaling the ads are coming for like a minute before the ad actually plays! Also the beginning is basically rambling with lots of ads. You can usually skip the first 10 minutes and not miss anything.

Scott tries but he asks long rambling questions where he basically tries to voice his opinion on the subject and asks if the guests if they agree with him. He usually asks like 5 questions all the once and confuses the guests. Derrick is even worse. I don’t think he even tries. He has been getting bad ratings and feedback since the beginning but he has not improved at all. Shows that he doesn’t really care about listeners’ opinions and thinks he’s doing great. He rambles on so much and his thoughts aren’t even linked. He usually starts with something tangentially related to what was said, but then he rambles on for so long that he gets lost halfway through. After 5 minutes of him rambling straight, I find myself asking what point he even made in that time. Sometimes I skip whenever he talks because he does not contribute anything. Just detracts. He should try to limit himself to 3 sentences every time he talks. That might help.

Also, even if you did not subscribe for non challenge content, be prepared for random podcasts about survivor, wrestling, Disney trips (??) and random thoughts from Scott no one asked for.
