Can't be any worse than the season was given the very very low bar it set. I'm hoping they rip each others throats out for making such terrible TV.

Re: The Challenge Season 39 Battle for a New Champion (MTV) 10/25/23
I just finished the watching the final, but I haven't watched any of the reunion. I had a death in my immediate family and I got behind on all my shows. This might be one of the most worst seasons since The Island. Jay and Michele kept trying to play a Wes game, but they're not Wes. You can't have everyone as your number one. You have a core group and then some disposables that you're working with. Everyone can't be your friend on The Challenge. Things went sideways when they started going after Kyland and Horacio. That allowed all the people playing in the middle Corey, Berna, Colleen, and Emanuel to take control, but Jay and Michele would have both made the final if Michele hadn't been purged.
I can't believe Olivia betrayed Horacio. That was her chance to turn the game upside down and save Nurys, Kyland, and Horacio. She chose Michele over Horacio who went into elimination to save her. Her survival move made no sense. You talk your way into getting Michele to save you and then you burn her and save your ride or die.
I was rooting for Nurys and Colleen to win over everyone else that was left. I can't believe face tat won, but if you just keep quiet and play the middle and side with the majority alliance you can beat three women and Corey to win The Challenge. There should have been a male and female winner too.
Departure Day for Season 40 is Friday. I'll post the casting news as soon as it's finalized. I'm ready for All Stars in April after this turd of a season.

BTW, Colleen was first to finish the sudoku and left her board up (presumably for Berna). Then Berna finishes hers soon after and then the rest magically get it after that (I'm assuming Berna didn't clear either board). Hard to know for sure with editing, but .. gotta wonder if Colleen clears her sudoku board could she have won.
And he wouldn't have won if Colleen cleared her sudoku. Dude literally just waltzed to the finals because he was in a giant alliance then barely beat three girls and a guy who couldn't walk across a balance beam.

Has anyone listened to Zach's podcast? I've heard it's great, but I can't stand the guy.

Big Update! Great Cast! Possibly the best in years unless something changes. We're just missing one ginger that retired on USA 2 and a dental salesman that would have made it the best cast ever.
