5 NOV 2025 · Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Paula Walnuts.
This interview originally aired in Summer 2019. Check it out if you missed it the first couple times around. Paula is a favorite and just celebrated twelve years sober!
Paula Walnuts (@PaulaWalnutsMTV) is a legend of the game. She is a two-time champion who played many seasons with Derrick (@DerrickMTV) including the infamous Island season, where Derrick was part of the alliance that turned its back on Paula en route to a victory. Paula joins Derrick and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) to talk about Real World: Key West, Johnny Bananas, The Island, Rivals 1 and 2, the state of The Challenge (of which she does not miss an episode to this day) today, her thoughts on War of the Worlds and the Reunion, the Real World reboot AND MORE!

4 NOV 2025 · Scott dives into the unfortunate situation with Showroom Travel and the cruise experiences featuring reality and Challenge talent they mishandled and that are now being cancelled. An awful ordeal that people should begin the process of getting their money back for immediately. Hopefully this provides some added detail and context for those affected or just interested overall. Simply put...if you booked anything Challenge or Reality related through Showroom Travel...get your money back ASAP. If you are just following all of this from afar, try not to have too much fun at other people's expense. A lot of people have been financially affected by this sham of an operation and although you may get a kick out of rooting for certain cast-members (or things associated with them) to fail...this is not the time or the place.

29 OCT 2025 · Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by "New Threat" Will Gagnon.
Will has been making waves in The Challenge world since the first episode of Season 41. Between his show-mances with Dee and Nany, altercations with both Gabe and a kitchen wall, rocky roads with his very own partner Olivia and several online "crash-outs" recently, Will has become one of the most discussed rookies on this season. Now...most people have him partially confused with the similarly dapper Jake, but that's besides the point. Will makes his Challenge Mania debut to tell his story and as you might expect...he does NOT hold back!
