Hello It's the recap of MTV Your host, Allie and Brian C and a dark end of R&AV If you don't like this song that's on at me.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome back to the Challenge All-Stars Rivals or Hot Podcast for episode five.

I am Brian Kohn.

With me, as always, is my co-host, Alex.

I like, how are you?

Uh, I got to say, say, not to be vulnerable, so no one at me, I don't care.

A really, really like tough, tough week.

And I almost was like, I need a sub.

I don't know if anybody even watches this to get a sub, which I said to you.

And then I watched the episode and was like, this is actually a good episode. I have to show up to talk about it. So I was slightly rejuvenated, though. The bar was quite low. Your face says you disagree. No, no, no, I agree. I agree. It was a good episode. Mark Long was tweeting all week that like, this is it. This is the week the game breaks open. He was really hyped in this on

up, which I'm always like iffy about when people do that about with the show. But I feel like, you know what? I think Mark Long knows what challenge fans want. So I think I was like, all right, I believe it.

And he was right.

It was a good episode.

We had, uh, you know, one other different team in the elimination, a good team in elimination,

a different team win at elimination, a good team in elimination,

a different team win at Daley, some fun stuff going on.

So that's interesting.

Had I seen Mark hype that up, I would have been very disappointed, I think, in the episode.

Because it was just like a normal to good episode.

But I was expecting nothing. And I was expecting nothing and I was expecting Frank and Sam to not really make a move.

So then I was like very pleasantly surprised.
