Bananas Toast Podcast

AngieChu and Papa D are back, refreshed, and ready to go with a brand new season of The Challenge! All Stars 4 starts off with a BANG, an amazing format, and rumours of controversy. We discuss all of that and more :)

AngieChu and Papa D discuss the surprisingly well-off mentally CT and lament how...nice he was to the contestants. We also discuss Ed's power move and how our boy Jay has continued to devolve into madness while power consumes him.

In this episode, AngieChu and Papa D discuss the delightful birth of a counteralliance (though Colleen sabotages her own initiative), and how Jay is trippin' on his newfound power.

In this episode, AngieChu and Papa D discuss why it is important to have hard conversations with friends, what is true about the friendship if you are unwilling to do this, and also how the return of a LEGEND shakes up the house!

AngieChu & Papa D discuss the odd playing styles of several cast members who are happy to hemorrhage money, as well as social media tea from this week that clear up the million-dollar question: Who told Johnny??

We're back to discuss the orgy that this season has turned into. Everyone wants a piece of Emanuel the Vampire, and Moriah doesn't understand how reality tv works in the Internet age of the 21st century.

AngieChu and Papa D are back to congratulate Prime Video on uploading the episode on time this week :) They discuss the oddities of Big T and Melissa being the prime targets of the house, Kaz's weak reception into the house, and how the cast should strategize going forward.

The newbies continue to bungle their deliberations, as Chauncey took a look at Jessica's performance last week and said, "Hold My Beer". We also discuss the importance of Kyland and Melissa's scene together as they discuss Kyland's autism, as well as the team morale as they continue to have too many cooks in the kitchen.

AngieChu and Papa D are BACK AT LAST with a whole new recap for episode 1 of Season 39. We discuss how much this feels like an old-school cast (for better and for worse), Big T's glowup to main character status, Hughie's bum implants, and how production dropped the ball on making this another 1-winner season. We also detail Jessica's biggest blunder ever.

This week, AngieChu and Papa D discuss how the daily LOOKED cool and the cast clearly found it cool, but viewers had absolutely no clue who did good or bad until TJ said so. We also discuss the unraveling of most partnerships as this season gets to the "needy greedy".

AngieChu and Papa D's theory was (unfortunately) true! Amber's lingering sickness was MORNING SICKNESS! Congrats to Amber Borzotra and Chauncey Palmer, but damn MTV invest in weekly pregnancy tests, mmkay?

AngieChu and Papa D rejoice at the choices made this episode by Kellyanne and her newfound crew, although they remain baffled by Ben's chaotic gameplay. The house is in shambles, and Tori and Danny are seconds from strangling one another, and that's why we're eating this shit up! We also theorize on if Amber, Tristan, and Ben will be able to continue next week and the possibilities if multiple people are Med DQ'd in one go.

Two powerhouses are sent packing this week with one elimination at the start of the episode and a Med DQ at the end. AngieChu geeks out about how much fun the daily looks despite her sucking at swimming and puzzles, while Papa D remains terrified of the water. They both roast Grant for his extra gameplay that ultimately removed him from the game altogether, and at the end they discuss the Mario movie!

AngieChu FINALLY has a new laptop, so she and Papa D are baaaack for this exciting new season. We discuss as Wes makes one of the rookiest mistakes ever, and everyone capitalizes on it despite attempted production interference.

We have our winners, and we are ecstatic! The best team won, but all 4 teams did SUCH a great job. We give them their props, AngieChu reveals Finals Tea spilled by the cast post-episode, and Papa D gives what might be his last Fessy rant of Season 38!

Part 2 of the Final is underway, and all of the teams are beginning to implode under the pressure. They enjoy some pea soup, followed by some noodles! Ever seen a Banana covered in someone else's Noodles? No? That's why we love this show!

AngieChu and Papa D are back from holiday hiatus to recap part one of the Ride Or Dies final!

In this week's episode, Angie and Papa D discuss how it's nice to get the humanizing components of Fessy, Jordan, and Tori that we've been missing since Real World and Road Rules died. We also discuss how Fessy needs to just lean into his villain role instead of pretending to be a good guy while doing non-good guy ish.

Angie & Papa D return with episode #08 of S38 and will be here for the rest of the season :) We discuss the ages of the cast, Bananas turning 40, unseen shomances, and Papa D's lingering hate for Messy Fessy!

Angie can't stop singing Olivia and Horacio's praises and is now rooting for them to win it all, while Papa D still laments seeing Fessy on his television screen. They both praise Tori and Jordan for being so raw and real, which is something ironically absent in reality TV, and Angie declares why it might be time to bring Paulie back to The Challenge.
