EP 8: The One With The Double Elimination (and Woodstock 99) (Total Madness) May 27, 2020

Show notes

There is a new Elimination King! Or at least....that's what Zach wants you to think. Do you agree or disagree? We covered this action packed episode from start to finish, and had lots to debate: Nelson's political game, Aneesa being extra, a really fun daily challenge that needs tweaking, Jordan's quest to match Darrell, and Shanni's recent tift with a Challenge tea page. Also, Zach kept hijacking segments and "cutting promos" as he called it. Literally nobody asked for this. Oh well..... Have you rated the podcast on iTunes yet? 5 stars pleasssse.

EP 7: The One With Nelson and Nany (Total Madness) May 21, 2020

Show notes

Shanni and Zach met up to talk about episode 7 of Total Madness, and despite their attempts not to get sidetracked, almost immediately began arguing about the Survivor Season 40 finale. Once they managed to get the show back on track, they covered both of the major fights from this episode in depth. Do you buy Nelson's apology? Is Zach a true stan or a pretend stan? Was Aneesa doing too much? Plus we cover the most compelling elimination of the season thus far. All of this and much, much more! By the way, have you checked out all of our cast member interviews lately?

Jennifer West: Survival of the Strongest May 14, 2020

Show notes

Current Total Madness contestant Jenny West stops by to discuss her reality comp roots on Survival of the Fittest, her experience as a rookie on War of the Worlds 1, and her thoughts on the role that fitness plays in helping players succeed on The Challenge. She told us why her elimination against Jenn was more difficult than the edit really showed, and she recounts all of the factors that went into her now-famous Hall Brawl against Tori. While you're at it, check out Jenny's new fitness program Future Proof Fitness. We could all use a little extra motivation while under quarantine.

Zahida Allen: The Real Geordie Shore May 11, 2020

Show notes

Don't sleep on this one. Zahida is an open book and she brought the goods to this interview. After analyzing (and helping decipher) some of her epic Tweets, she spills tea about her time on War of the Worlds 1 & 2. I guarantee you haven't heard these stories. We go in depth about Zahida's appearances on British reality television and get the inside scoop on her Geordie Shore season in the process. Zahida closes things out by talking about her love of makeup, and her new makeup line Ohsho (@ohshocosmetics). Her passion for what she is doing is undeniable. Does Zahida want to return to The Challenge? Listen to find out.

EP 5: The One With the Hand in the Pocket (Total Madness) May 01, 2020

Show notes

Shanni and Zach sit down to discuss episode 5 of Total Madness. Some topics at hand: Rogan's hit on Jay, Bear's revealing sweatpants, and wondering whether the overreaction of the fan community has gone too far. Zach also took some time (too much time?) to praise Nelson's sprinting skills. This was a fun chat.

Dee Nguyen: Total Savage Apr 29, 2020

Show notes

Not a typical interview. Challenge champ Dee Nguyen stops by to talk about Kanye, internet trolls, the UK reality scene...and of course she spills some Total Madness tea. As always, we encourage you to take the time and get to know a cast member outside of the lens in which the show portrays them. This conversation was a great look into the heart and personality that makes Dee so engaging to watch.
