Challenge Mania

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Cara Maria Sorbello once again! When the female face of #TheChallenge comes to you and says, "hey, I know I was just on two weeks ago, but I have a ton more left to say," you clear your schedule and give the people what they want: more Cara Maria!  Cara Maria (@CaraMariaMTV) joins Derrick (@DerrickMTV) and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) to talk about the last few weeks of #TheChallengeVendettas, the most recent bout with Mercenaries, Laurel, Nicole, Devin Vs Johnny, the Kayleigh incident, bullying and YOUR questions!  Because Cara was so generous with her time and wanted to get to so many of your quesitons, we made this a TWO PART Podcast. Part II will be our Friday episode this week, so stay tuned for that! #ChallengeAccepted  

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Devin Walker. Does it get any bigger than taking down Johnny Bananas after calling your shot and requesting him as an opponent on a show called #TheChallengeVendettas? Devin Walker (@MTVDevinWalker) joins Derrick (@DerrickMTV) and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) to break down his feud with the #Challenge posterboy and walk us all through the events that led up to their clash in the elimination round, the vote that gave Devin his wish and the showdown that was. Devin touches on the controversial actions of the girls in the house following the information he revealed about Kayleigh in an effort to get her back for voting him into the elimination and whether he feels that the blame and backlash that he, and the girls have recieved is justified.  Devin does not pull any punches and definitely speaks his mind, revealing another side to Tuesday's episode that we did not see on TV. This is an episode that you do not want to miss, especially if you were as glued to your TV on Tuesday as we were. Follow the guys on twitter and let them know who YOU want to hear on the show next.
