This Ends Your Time on the Challenge

It's time to finish what we started in Bangkok! The  Season 42 finale of  The Challenge: Cutthroat II  is here, and $550,000 is on the line. Two teams, one final, questionable drinking challenges, wilderness bathroom emergencies, and enough exhaustion to make everyone question their life choices. Orange and Team Blu-ray battle through the final checkpoints, but a 10-mile race, a massive puzzle...

The  Challenge  final is here, the prize money is HUGE, and some people are already looking at that $500K like it's sitting in their personal checking account.  As the teams embark on a grueling two-day final, Bananas is busy getting inside Lete's head, captains are eyeing their potential payouts, and the question of who deserves a “fair share” threatens to become just as important as actu...

The biggest rig in  Challenge  history. A team that can't finish a puzzle. A rookie who's officially DONE playing nice. And TJ warning the finalists that some of them are about to regret everything. 😈 Lete has been holding back all season—but after carrying Team Blu-ray in the daily, she's sent into her  first-ever elimination . And she's not exactly thrilled about it. Meanwhile,...

The season may be over, but the  Bananas tea is just getting started —and trust us, you need to hear this. Meanwhile, Orange is playing chess while Team Blu-ray is out here eating checkers. Bananas launches an undercover operation involving a certain pair of underwear, Tori revives a character nobody asked for, and Will apparently has feelings for Tori that materialized out of thin air. Sure, budd...

The Challenge has entered the UFC era. With  The Challenge  now under the Paramount umbrella, we're getting a very unexpected crossover—and this week,  Trial by Combat  brings UFC energy straight to Bangkok. But first, we've got some serious housekeeping to do. We catch up on everything we apparently forgot to talk about last week, laugh way too much, and revisit Justin's bold claim th...

Two teams remain in  The Challenge: Cutthroat II , and suddenly the rules—and the politics—have changed. With the game narrowing, everyone wants power, but becoming captain comes with a whole new set of consequences. A daily challenge leaves us questioning whether someone was actually trying to win, trying to lose, or playing an even bigger game than we realized. Meanwhile,  CT is somehow both the...

WE MADE IT TO 50 EPISODES!   And what better way to celebrate than having  three Challengers mysteriously disappear from the season? Leo, Nelson, and Josh have broken  The Challenge  Code of Conduct and are sent home—but the episode gives us almost NO explanation. Production simply cuts them out of the season, leaving us with a LOT of questions. So, for our  50th episode of This Ends Your Time On...

We're back with another episode of  The Challenge: Cutthroat II , and this week starts with Nelly knowing he doesn't have the votes for a mutiny—but that isn't going to stop him from airing his grievances. Then it's time for  Perfect Match , and CT immediately finds himself in the crosshairs. Justin wakes up ready to talk some shit, while CT is already looking gassed. But there&#39...

We're back in Bangkok for another episode of  The Challenge: Cutthroat II , and this week we're bringing a very special guest to the couch:  Gretchen , Wiley's alter ego, has officially entered the game. And because Wiley turned 30 this week, he's also entered his  Dirty Thirty XXX Era. You're welcome. This week, we finally get some serious  tea on Lete , courtesy of the always...

This episode is DIRTY. The permanent team captains have arrived, and we're learning exactly what that means for the rest of  Cutthroat II . These captains are now permanently safe from elimination, they'll hold the power over their teams, and they'll ultimately have a say in how the money gets divided at the end of the season. Unless, of course, someone decides to  overthrow them. Bana...

We're going UNDERWATER in Bangkok—and somehow the real danger isn't drowning. It's the sexual tension. This week on  This Ends Your Time On The Challenge , we're taking issue with the name  “Infiltration Dive”  because apparently nobody remembers that this challenge was already called  Air Pockets  on  Battle of the Bloodlines . And honestly? Air Pockets is just better. Cara and Ne...

Season 42 is heating up in Bangkok, and this week,  Nurys is ready to stir the pot. The daily challenge may have been a little visually boring, but thankfully, the drama more than makes up for it. The Gray Team finally doesn't win, Keanu knows he's going in, and suddenly everyone has an opinion about who should be sitting in elimination. And then there's the  Adrienne, Josh, and Nurys...

Season 42 continues in Bangkok, and apparently  crying won’t get you off this roof. This week on  This Ends Your Time On The Challenge , we're talking power plays, questionable alliances, mystery boxes, and one VERY creative interpretation of the rules. Tori and Keanu make a deal that could benefit both of them, while Keanu starts playing aggressively enough that we're already wondering if he's tr...

Season 42 is HERE, and we're heading to Bangkok for  The Challenge: Cutthroat II! The third season of  This Ends Your Time On The Challenge  kicks off with a sprint through the streets of Bangkok, three team captains, a whole lot of picking and choosing, and a brand-new set of rules that has us wondering just how much trust is actually going to exist between teammates. We’re talking  Cutthroat...

The Ride or Dies final continues, and we're starting to think the duckweed may have been affecting more than just the contestants. Jordan and Aneesa's partnership reaches a boiling point, Nany suffers a painful knee injury, and the finalists are tasked with dropping chalk bombs from a moving helicopter in one of the strangest checkpoints we've ever seen. Meanwhile, the women repeatedly figure out...

The FINAL is finally here—and it’s every bit as brutal, chaotic, and emotional as you’d expect. In this episode of  This Ends Your Time on the Challenge , we break down one of the most intense finals in recent memory, from grueling endurance checkpoints to moments that had us questioning how far is  too  far. We dive into the dynamics between teams as the pressure hits a boiling point, including r...

he “most important challenge of the season” lives up to the hype as tensions peak and every decision carries real consequences. With the final looming, alliances are tested, strategies are questioned, and one major player can’t avoid elimination any longer. From ice baths and mind-bending puzzles in the  Frozen Senseless  daily to TJ’s signature sarcasm, this episode delivers chaos, comedy, and cl...

The elimination continues—and it turns into a straight-up clash of styles: agility vs. experience, finesse vs. grit. Kaycee & Kenny come in fast, but Jordan & Aneesa come in  relentless . What starts as a knotty battle quickly becomes a masterclass in endurance, strategy, and willpower—and the result? Not even close. But the real story isn’t just the win… it’s how Jordan pulls something ou...

A soft moment lands in the middle of a very unserious game. Lines get blurred, confidence starts outpacing logic, and a few people might be playing a completely different game than everyone else. We get into the conversations that didn’t sit right, the decisions that felt… ambitious, and why this episode might age badly for certain players. Plus, a daily that exposes more than intended and an elim...

On this episode of  This Ends Your Time on the Challenge , we break down one of the messiest episodes yet. Fessy is wrong (again), Moriah sees the game clearly, and Jordan never promised anyone safety—despite the drama. From puke-inducing smoothie chaos during the daily to Devin stepping in as the ultimate MVP spotter, this challenge was absolute madness. Plus, we dive into the endurance, puzzle,...

We’re recapping  The Challenge  Season 38, Episode 12, and honestly… what  was  this episode? Alicia’s kitchen is on fire, we cannot figure out eye masks to save our lives, and Devin & Horacio deliver the most chaotic pep talk of the season: “I’m a dog!” Jordan gets real during his call home about Ukraine—but later flips the script when Tori tries to save Fessy, leading to one of the most inte...

On this episode of  This Ends Your Time on the Challenge , we dive into all the wild  Challenge  drama: backdoor votes, paranoia, and contestant chaos. Trivia brings out farts, dry heaves, and even a psychic moment from Wiley. Who’s really thinking for themselves—Moriah or Amber? Backstabbing, secret alliances, and spy-vs-spy scheming dominate the episode, while Nurys’ apology sparks debate. Plus,...

Is  Chris 'CT' Tamburello  preparing for life beyond  The Challenge ? Rumor has it he pitched himself for  Dancing With the Stars , adding to a growing list of reality TV appearances that includes  The Traitors  and  Worst Cooks in America . Naturally, this sparks our latest conspiracy theory: is CT secretly studying other shows to gain an edge back on The Challenge? Meanwhile, the team dy...

It’s a MINI FINAL, which means egos are fragile, alliances are exposed, and puzzles are once again the great equalizer. Before we even get into  The Challenge  Season 38, Episode 9, we have to address some pressing matters: The Overlord makes a dramatic post-snow appearance demanding treats, Wiley admits to not recognizing Analyse from  Extracted , and we collectively agree this season of  Worst C...

This week on the podcast, we’re preparing to be fully snowed in as a massive winter storm threatens to ice over half the country — and possibly trap us inside for a week. If we lose power, just know it was worth it for this episode. We’re celebrating  Johnny Bananas’ birthday , questioning what happens when you  don’t know ball  on  The Challenge , and breaking down the coldest move of the week: n...
