What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love this podcast, but I don’t get to watch the show live and you always put the guest’s name in the title which tells me who won or, more often, who lost which ruins the show. I have unfollowed and stopped automatic downloads but it STILL shows up every week and I can’t unsee it after it’s there. PLEASE stop putting their names in the titles - it truly makes me want to stop listening to the podcast even though I like it.

These two women are naturals at interviewing and podcasting. Their dynamic and interview style works because they aren’t current contestants so they really hold challengers accountable. When they are the hosts the show is a must listen for me! I agree about spoiling with the eliminated contestant in the title. I can’t always get through the whole show the night it airs. Please keep these two as the hosts permanently, when it is not them it becomes a “never listen” for me the vibes just aren’t there.

I just finished listening to your interview with Nia! I love your commentary and thank you both for giving Nia her flowers! I’ve been blowing her comments this season because I’m so impressed with her. It’s not very often we see people literally grow up and mature in reality tv but Nia has done the work and now instead of people wanting to leave the room when she shows up, people are all saying good things and want her to be around. For Jenny to say that she felt more support from Nia than her own teammates speaks to the love that is radiating from her! 🤗

Gabby Francois · Oct 2024

I love this podcast! And I love you ladies! But please don’t put the contestants name in the title of the episode. Because 9 times out of 10 - it’s the contestant who lost. When I’m looking at all my available pods to listen to (& haven’t had a chance to watch the latest episode of The Challenge) it give it away. Other than that, I love you gals!!

GameSetMatch4Fed · Oct 2024

No hate toward Aneesa and Tori, both are great on the show but they’re not great as podcast hosts. Devyn and Da’Vonne were better at doing the episode recaps and generally provided more interesting commentary than Aneesa and Tori. Plus they aren’t as biased either. They do better interviews and aren’t afraid of asking tough questions. Usually love this podcast and will return to update my review once the hosts change!
