The Perfect Match Podcast: An Are You The One & The Challenge on MTV Podcas‪t‬ The Perfect Match Podcast

We kick off covering this season of the Challenge practicing social distancing via Zoom.  Rand and Reg are joined by Jimmy and Rachel to discuss the new format, the parallels to real life, the notable missing castmembers and plenty of banter about Covid-19 and the Challenge.
 
Audio is really really brutal throughout.  Still working out the kinks with Zoom, we'll see if we can improve next week.

Recorded 2 weeks ago, 1,000 percent Reggie's fault for not getting this up!  Buttttt Rand, Reg, and Jimmy sat down to assess the Challenge at the halfway (third of the way) point!  We touch mostly on Laurel and Bananas, but also dish our thoughts on the pros and cons of the format, the overall assessment of the cast, and end it with a halfway fantasy draft!
 
We'll try to get another pod out in the next two weeks or so to re-up as so much more has gone down!

Sorry we're a week late! (Actually, we're more than a week late!) We're finally here to break down the finale, the stragglers, the outcome, the post-finale tea and fallout + all the rumors from online.  We go a bit off tangent to talk about celebrities we think have hooked up + Ludacris deep tracks.  Thank you so much to MTV and to the cast and crew of Season 8 for putting together one of, if not, the best season of this show so far!  We'll be back on a periodic basis to pod about the Challenge + (eventually, hopefully?) Season 9!

After a week off to watch the VMA's (and specifically the Video Vanguard), we're back with the penultimate matchup ceremony.  We break down the fall out of the previous week's matchups, specifically Max's emotions + Justin's logic.  We also break down the 4 potential beam scenarios and which one's we think are most likely.  Reg goes on and on about Microsoft Excel for a bit before we wrap things up.  THE FINALE IS NEXT WEEK!  CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS ALMOST OVER!  WILL THEY WIN!!!???!!!???

Before entering a one week hiatus due to the VMAs, the cast is really starting to make some progress!  Raige hits a bump in the road while Kari gets down to business.  Reg and Rand talk about Jerry Seinfeld, Reggie's ability to relate to Paige's past from the other side, and we go on and on as to why production decided to show certain things in #ConspiracyCorner. Keep the tweets comin! Two episodes left!

Rand and Reg cover the rest of the Under The Sea party, Raige's Ice Cream Date, Kai's intervention, Jonathan's transformation, and speculate on the ending of this season!
