Love love love this podcast! Been watching the Challenege for years and to find a podcast where I hear different and valid opinions is great! I sometimes look more forward to the podcast rather than the actual Challenge episode👀

Look, Brian and Ali may just be two regular people talking about The Challenge, but also, they’re two regular people talking about The Challenge. Maybe I’m paranoid but I just do not trust the “raw opinions” of people associated with the show.

I love this podcast! Our opinions align perfectly. Couldn’t agree more with everything y’all say!
Lil_kk_junt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
I started watching the challenge with USA 1 and I have continued watching so I can listen to Ali and Brian’s coverage. Love the show!

This has become my fav challenge podcast - sometimes there facts are wrong and I scream but they just seem so normal and they’re not bias bc they don’t do interviews with contestants WHICH I LOVE.

Happy 10 year anniversary.

I am a diehard survivor and challenge fan (eve tried out for survivor). I love your show! I jumped over from another challenge podcast a couple years from some unenthusiastic people in Skokie,IL. Love your banter! I will always be listening. One comment: hold the episodes if you can’t both do it...Read full review »

Thank you both again for my favorite challenge content❤️ In fact, I’ve tried to convince friends to watch the challenge in order to be able to then enjoy the podcast! Yes to videos but also saying yes to live shows.

Must listen every week!

The perfect blend of hilarious banter and audio issues
Isaac54 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
I don’t even watch the challenge anymore, I just listen to Brian and Ali’s podcast. So fun every look. Keep up the great work.
Dalton Merrill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
I’ve been a Challenge fan for years and listened to every podcast I could find about the show. I even paid to hear Wes’ very expensive Patreon podcast for a while. It’s good but this is better. And it’s free. Brian and Ali have great chemistry and bring so much more insight than other podcasts...Read full review »

Great listen each week. Appreciate the hot takes
ccstano via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
Really enjoy the podcast. Love the hosts’ banter and knowledge of the show. Keep up the good work! PS don’t care about seeing videos 🤪
Terry Gard via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/22/24
Easily the best podcast out there about The Challenge. Ali and Brian are both hilarious and brilliant. Great takes, convos and recaps. This is appointment podcast listening.

I too went back to see when Kyland laughed but couldn’t find it.
ooxxxxxxxxxoo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/28/24
My absolute favorite podcast about MTV’s The Challenge! Brian & Ali have great chemistry, takes, opinions, etc. Plus funny stuff like drinking games based on goofy things from the show.
Agent_Zigzag via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/24
I’m a Spotify listener - thank you for acknowledging us over the last few weeks with the inability to upload :) I started listening during Challenge USA 1, and Brian and Ali got me to watch the Challenge proper. One of the best. Decisions. Ever. Thank you for introducing me to a new world of...Read full review »

Ok so this is facts! Thank you for validating me. 5 stars 😂
Shopping4heels via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/23
Thanks Ali and Brian, appreciate the insights and social media updates but miss the drinking game. Please bring back!
barkleyummy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/23
I used to enjoy this podcast a lot, as it's pretty much the only tolerable challenge podcast I had found, so I forgave the lack of research and general uninformed vibe. Ali shilling for multimillion-dollar coporation for Starbucks seemingly out of nowhere in the latest episode made me look at...Read full review »
Blargymyffins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/23
Stumbled onto this pod and am newly obsessed! I’ve gone way down the rabbit hole, even listening to older seasons and am really enjoying it. Brian and Ali are fun to listen to, happy to have something new to add to my rotation :)
Weasel0219pants via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
Ha ha ha I loved the appeal for reviews after you got a microphone. Thanks for making me laugh each week.
Katrina like the hurrican via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/23
You guys have honestly kept me watching the show bc I love hearing your takes 😂. Keep it up!
chana602 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/23
Challenge convert, first time reviewer. Thank God production learned from their mistake with Challenge US 1 and making this more watchable. Love Brian and Ali’s podcast. I’m being forced to write a review but I do it most sincerely. I’m honestly here to discover the mysteries of the Croatian bar...Read full review »

Better than the show Do I watch just to listen? Thank you for the laughs
bnrthr4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/23
This is my go-to pod for The Challenge. Ali and Brian always provide a fun and critical recap of each episode. They’ve got a great dynamic as hosts, while also making it feel like a casual water cooler chat. I always look forward to what they’ve got to say and their predictions for the...Read full review »

Fellow Wes girly here. This is always my favorite Challenge podcast to listen to after the episode!
802jane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/23
I have so much fun listening to your recaps! Since I’m a more recent viewer of all the different Challenge shows, I really appreciate when you explain the back stories!
Karilyn22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/23
The best challenge podcast ever. I love their takes and their exit interviews this season! Keep up the great work!!
MKG - Marisa G via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/23
Disrespectfully (to other challenge podcasts), this is the only challenge podcast you need to listen to. Fun, snarky, and most importantly, correct on all their takes
jlsheaffer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/23
Brian and Allie are absolutely hilarious. Love that their takes are funny, but they actually know what they're talking about. Never have to yell at my phone because a podcast host gets an important fact incorrect and keeps discussing the wrong information (which happens with other reality tv...Read full review »

Great recaps, and great laughs!
Narisseee via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/21/23
I discovered "The Challenge RHAP-Up" podcast hosted by Brian and Ali a few years ago, and I must say, it's become a highlight of my week. With each episode, they provide a delightful mix of humor, insightful analysis, and a unique perspective on the reality show, "The...Read full review »
Jeff, put me on Survivor plz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
I’ve only been watching the challenge since last season (thanks pandemic) so I rely on Ali and Brian to fill in the background for me. They always put having fun first and don’t take themselves or the show too seriously. Great listen every week! I listen as soon as it pops up in my feed.
dupreesgal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
Hosts are so enjoyable to listen to. Great rapport and I look forward to listening
muppymut via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/16/23
Keep it coming! I love this dynamic duo
puppyluverMB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/23
I love the challenge and am a longtime watcher. Nobody I know IRL watches so it’s great having this podcast to listen to and further geek out about this show. I sometimes like the podcast even more than the show. I started watching world championship which I had ZERO interest in just so I could...Read full review »

You two are awesome! I am now watching the challenge just to understand your podcasts. Updating my review because I’m not sure how to contact you to answer questions. I live in Europe and it is amazing how many restaurants, bars, stores, etc. have no online presence. So, the bar could be...Read full review »
TampaMom69 via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 09/08/23
I listen to a handful of challenge podcasts. Unfollowed a few over the years as I learned to love myself. The handful I listen to now have their strengths and weakness, I go for the variety of takes and perspectives and tolerate the irks. That being said there are 0 bad things to say about these...Read full review »
goofriendTom! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/23
The BEST Challenge podcast! The hosts are long time fans of the show who have great banter and fun to listen to. I’m always happy when I see an episode drop! Ali and Brian feel like friends.
Jen6234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/23
The first season of the challenge I saw was dirty thirty and although it is widely regarded as horrible and too complicated, the mess of it all is what sucked me in. Since I discovered the show, I watched lots of old seasons (mostly for origin stories of my favorite characters) and kept up with...Read full review »
