Ep. 188: Jenny West Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Total Madness Champion JENNY WEST.
Jenny West (@JenniferWestOf1) became as famous for his exit from War of the Worlds II as she did her entrance. She entered an imposing, intimidating, physically gifted favorite to win anything and everything. A mysterious Brit from a show called "Survival of the Fittest", it was clear no one wanted a piece of her. That is until Tori Deal took just that. Tori eliminated Jenny in a legendary elimination, Hall Brawl, during a time where even Jenny admits she had checked out emotionally and mentally. Now, a year later, Jenny stands atop The Challenge world as CHAMPION of Total Madness and on her way there she redeemed herself with the Hall Brawl Gods by trouncing Dee in the same fashion that Tori took her down the year before. Jenny makes her Challenge Mania debut to walk Derrick (@DerrickMTV) and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) through the brutal final, the elimination with Dee, her social game, what we didn't see on the snowy mountain and MORE!
