Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by New Threat Ben "The Bane" Davis. Ben made a splash on last week's episode of The Challenge by WINNING THE DAILY with Michaela! He's also been making waves online by podcasting, tweeting and commenting about stuff in the house, his thoughts on other cast-members and rumors among the New Threats! So who better to bring in this week than the MMA and Boxing Commentator himself! We recorded this before the incident that went down with Rampage Jackson's son, otherwise we definitely would have covered that.

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Challenge New Threat and Survivor Winner Dee Valladares. Dee certainly made a splash in the Survivor world by winning season 45 and instantly being dubbed the best winner of the new era. Only 2 episodes into The Challenge: Vets and New Threats, she has made a similar splash; this time by winning the first daily Challenge, immediately partnering (in more ways that one) with 7x Winner Johnny Bananas and already causing her own version of a Challenge staple...the Love Triangle that leads to a violent outburst! Hell of a debut for the Miami native! She joins us to talk about ALL of it, even some insight on how she was able to do both The Challenge 41 AND Survivor 50 which already filmed but will air next year!   WATCH this interview here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-episode-2-135885720 www.ChallengeManiacs.com www.ChallengeMania.Live www.ChallengeMania.Shop Live Show Schedule: 8/31 - Chicago (City Winery) 9/7 - Phoenix (Standup Live) 9/27 - Boston (City Winery) 10/5 - Detroit (District 142) 11/15 - Buffalo (Vice) 11/22 - Nashville (City Winery) All tix and lineups available at www.ChallengeMania.Live

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Nathaniel Blackburn. NATHANIEL BLACKBURN made his debut on Real World: Seattle and went on to do two seasons of The Challenge. With MTV really being at it's peak of popularity back then he is one of the more recognizable names and faces of the era. Now going by his full name Nathaniel (he mainly went by Nate/Nathan back then) he has had a lot of life ups and downs since appearing on our screens. He shares all of it with us, getting very personal and candid about addiction and his path to recovery over the years. This interview does contain some talk about different forms of abuse and addiction so please proceed with caution. There are mentions sexual assault, not in great detail but it does come up. Although Video is usually a Maniac-Level perk (for Maniac level and above) we think this interview is important for everyone (who wants to) to take in and experience, so it is available to ALL Patrons.

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Vinny Foti. VINNY FOTI makes his Challenge Mania debut to talk about his short run on The Challenge from Fresh Meat II into Cutthroat and ending with his infamous removal on Battle of the Exes, which led to the end of his partner Sarah's season as well. The episode to watch before this interview is Episode II of Season 22 (Battle of the Exes) on Paramount+ to see the incident we discuss at length and the manner in which it plays out on the show, if it's something you can handle. In it a female cast-member's top is removed so proceed with caution. We both watched it this week to re-familiarize ourselves with it, as we knew it was top of mind for many of you when we announced this guest. Vinny himself brought it up before we even got there and we end up spending a solid chunk of the interview on it before learning about his 2018 health scare and discussing some other Challenge moments.
