Summary
Who better to ring in the New Year with us at Challenge Mania than the host of The Challenge, TJ LAVIN!?
TJ (@TJLavin) returns to the podcast for the first time in almost a year with a ton of new material to unpack. He tells Derrick (@DerrickMTV) and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) what fans can expect from the upcoming season, without giving too much away of course! He shares his thoughts on Ashley's million dollar decision, whether Hunter is still to be considered a Challenge Champion, what he thinks of equalizers, what OG he wants to see back, his thoughts on pasta-gate, why Sylvia didn't get sent home for her head-butt on The Final Reckoning and best of all, TJ even casts his vote for a bunch of the Challenge Mania Awards Live on the air! If this podcast is a sign of what is to come in 2019, the sky is the limit!
