It's the recap of MTV host Ali and Brian T and the drug end of R.A.C.E.

You don't like this song, but don't I hate you?

Hello everyone, welcome to the Challenge World Championships. We're having a podcast for the finale.

I am Brian Cohn. Good to meet you. As always, it's my co-host, Ali. How are you?

Tough to say when we're here, mustering excitement and attention on what is probably the third most interesting?

Maybe a bit of entertainment happening tonight?

Yeah, it's tough. The challenge for Ali definitely drops in the pecking order compared to the pump rules finale.

But I was like that. I was able to watch my own terms. It wasn't like conflicting with it the way the challenge usually does.

It was a pretty good final. I thought it was a pretty well designed final and a good winner.

So I was into it while I was watching. I was able to vote the 45 minutes to give it my full attention.

Well, that's the bare minimum. So congratulations for that. You know, good for you.

But we've talked a lot. I'm sorry. I'm so far from my microphone. We talked a lot about how like the final might be broken.

I mean, especially this is sort of the coming on the heels of the challenge USA debacle.

And it's good that you think it was a good final. I don't think it was in the bottom half, but I am thinking like, is it just that this is in the shadow of interpump rules and the penultimate episode of what is a good survivor season?

Or is it just that like the final has become the least interesting part of the challenge?

I don't know if it's become though. I feel like it's always has been the least interesting. I feel like we've always said like the beginning part of the challenge is always like some of the best stuff.

When it used to be like more like drama filled and stuff and that's usually when that stuff would happen.

And like some of them would always get like a peak usually it can be like a great elimination or a backstab or something like that.

And then the last couple episodes would fizzle and maybe there be the last elimination to bring something into the final.

It's just a long daily like usually the dailies are some of the least interesting parts of the full episode.

So an entire episode of it. It's not going to be that interesting like it's compelling as he was going to win.

And that's why I think this format that's at least bring intrigue of.
