  • Music Thoughts By Me
    Love this Podcast But Some things have to change
    I have very deep love for Aneesa and Tori, but their take on All Stars 4 really impacted my enjoyment due to their biases. If Cara was not on the season I felt there could have been more balanced take. Their takes felt like it lack sympathy, empathy, and sided too much on who they were friends with. I don’t need them to like Cara or any competitor they had such a massive feud with but I do need them to be fair to them. The treatment that she and Steve endured in the season was overlooked. I know they have a better relationship with Laurel but when Tori mentioned in one of the episodes it was okay of cara to talk about Laurel’s relationship even though it was publicized and she was brought into the drama and the back and forth treatment and the belittling made me see them in a different light. I don’t want to hold their perspective against them because I think we can all grow, but it was massively disappointing from Anessa and Tori to lack that empathy especially when both have had relationships in the house that was toxic. What I appreciated about Devyn and Davonne was they weren’t scared to ask the question nor where they scared of being fair. I still love you anessa and tori, but I hope you guys can reflect on your takes.

    Need new hosts. NOT Tori and Aneesa
    This show needs hosts who are more removed from the game. We needs hosts that will give their honest opinion and not people who are still trying to play the game even if they’re not on the show.
  • CajAge
    horrible opinions
    horrible opinions. tori and aneesa are bad podcasters
  • JDG216
    Bring back Devyn and Da’Vonne
    No hate toward Aneesa and Tori, both are great on the show but they’re not great as podcast hosts. Devyn and Da’Vonne were better at doing the episode recaps and generally provided more interesting commentary than Aneesa and Tori. Plus they aren’t as biased either. They do better interviews and aren’t afraid of asking tough questions. Usually love this podcast and will return to update my review once the hosts change!
  • Rona H.
    Love!
    Obsessed!! ♥️♥️♥️
  • allilance
    Awful
    These two give horrible interviews and have awful takes. They are not worth watching on the challenge and definitely not worth listening to. I need a better Challenge podcast. I need one that is unbiased and does not have these two clowns.
  • SoCalLibrarian
    Bring back Devyn and Da’Vonne
    Tori and Aneesa are like nails on a chalkboard. Not funny, super annoying. Please please please bring back Devyn and Da’Vonne. They are entertaining and naturally funny. Tori and Aneesa sound so forced.
  • Aqua86
    Biased hosts. Bring back Devyn 24/7
    Glad to see others share the same opinion: these hosts are biased when recapping the episodes. They clearly dislike Cara & are unable to give fair assessments. Would suggest bringing back Devyn as a full time host & a new male counterpart. Preferably a prior champion like Wes or a rotating guest host. Don’t care for Davonne or Aneesa’s input. Would prefer a cohost who has won before so could share what it takes to be a champ. These girls have never won so hearing their take is unfortunately irrelevant.
  • grizzybeck
    Host are to biased
    The tone of these recaps from Tori and Anessa feel extremely biased. I will no longer listen. At least with some of the other recap podcasts the host don’t act like they are being fair and balanced when they dislike someone they are clear about it. This podcast should be unbiased since it is the official podcast of MTV
  • MichelleVan777
    Miss the real interviewing!
    I love Tori and Aneesa, but we need less interrupting and more interviewing! Miss Devyn’s interviewing style. Lately it seems like memory road and/or catch up with friends rather than a professional interview. 3 stars cuz I love this podcast usually!
  • J5364
    Worst
    Such softball questions & they are hypocrites. They all play the same game & want to call each other out on gameplay when they do the exact same thing!!
  • melissadance
    These 2 shouldn’t be doing the official podcast
    1st why is aneesa not fired? She has a. Harassed both men and women from the show! 2nd tori shouldn’t be hosting this either! She’s biased, they’re both biased. They hold too much weight on who can be on the show! Have someone else like da’vonne do this podcast. She’s way more entertaining and is able to be objective! I stopped listening to this podcast!
  • XoxoChallenge03
    Bring back Da’Vonne and Devyn
    I love The Challenge but it’s unbearable to hear without Devyn and Da’Vonne. Someone please let me know when they’re back so I can start listening again.
  • Lulu00009
    No to Aneesa & Tori
    I love them in the show but their commentary is very off putting, it also sounds extremely biased and fake if the person is not their friends.
  • Nicole8144
    Bring Da’Vonne & Devyn back!!!
    Bring them back please, the podcast is so much better with them. Tori & Aneesa are too biased & absolutely do not hold the people on this podcast accountable or ask any tough questions. They don’t ask any questions that the fans want answers to!!! Da’Vonne & Devyn would ALWAYS hold people accountable & ask them the hard hitting questions like playing devils advocate. We do not need biased people running the podcast, I feel like I’m just listening to friends catching up.
  • HFlanary
    Hypocrites
    It seems to me that they are exceptionally harsh with anything to do with Cara Maria. In past challenges, they too have reacted to being targeted as well. So, why the judgements? I doubt they will ever have Cara Maria on the podcast. I am confused by all the hate. Yet Laurel and Nicole get a free pass for the behavior they exhibited.
  • Chri5tinas
    New host please!
    This hosts don’t bring the necessary questions for the competitors, they side with their favorites and make the show boring. I have fast forward multiple and I’m about to quit listening. Bring back the host who will keep it real, ask the necessary questions, talk without favoritism and call things how they are! Sorry but Tori & Aneesa are not the right ones for this podcast.
  • Cj101321
    Please bring back Devyn and Dayvonne!
    Tori and Anessa seem completely biased towards certain contestants and they are just not easy to listen to. I absolutely LOVE Devyn and Dayvonne! They are hilarious, easy to listen to and keep it real. PLEASE bring them back! 🙏🏻 Will return when Anessa and Tori are no longer hosting. It’s just too much and it’s like two loud hyenas yapping the whole 45 mins. 🙄 My 1 star review will change once they are gone.
  • L&HH
    Bring Back Davonne & Devyn
    Anessa & Tori are soo biased and make the podcast impossible to listen too . Love the challenge but I always stop listening when they are the hosts.
  • doodie2327
    Haters
    Almost every episode y’all hate on Cara’
  • Keepinitreal0_0
    Is this the We Hate Cara podcast??
    This season would have been much better with Devyn and Da’Vonne as hosts because they are able to keep it real while also staying pretty neutral in their commentary. I like Tori and Aneesa but their personal dislike of Cara clouds everything and kinda ruins things for me this time around. Sad
  • ayeem08
    Tori and Aneesa are Cara haters
    Bring back Davonne and Devyn. This show is trash without them.
  • Stephanie SYR

    Love this pod, these ladies, and all things Challenge! Great energy! So interesting to hear your insider viewpoints. Also, If you need a PT on staff, I want to apply!!
  • Challengelover32
    New Hosts
    Please for the love of God can we have new hosts? Aneesa and Tori clearly cater to their favorites and can barely contain their disgust for those they don’t vibe with. Additionally, Aneesa makes EVERY comment and conversation about her. She also has the worst (and loudest) fake laugh on any podcast. It’s a shame that the “official” podcast of the show doesn’t have two less biased hosts.
  • TheRealMo
    Bye Aneesa and Tori
    Aneesa and Tori are boringggg. They give nothing. Too worried about how it will look talking about certain things because they are constantly going back on the show. The Brandon interview would have been amazing if Devyn and Davonne. He wanted to say so much more about the competitors and they are talking about how pretty his daughters are.
  • convoslistener
    Love the pod
    Love the podcast, BUT respectfully bring back Da’Vonne and Devyn. I love both Tori and Aneesa but I feel the double Ds keep it real at all times. Thanks.
  • ohsnaplala
    Half great, half trash
    I ADORE Da’Vonne and Devyn, they get 5 stars. They share their opinions but give grace to people, and they don’t let their personal opinions affect their interviews and interactions. The other two? They’re trash. Petty, totally lacking in accountability and self reflection, allowing their own alliances to impact the quality of the podcast and the integrity of their interviews. Bring back our queens and the podcast gets 5 stars. These fools get no stars. So the pod, as it stands, gets 3 stars from me, unless we can get some personality transplants involved
  • Manka May
    Spoiled & Disappointed
    Listened to the first episode of this season and was immediately disappointed that instead of Da’Vone and Devyn we got Aneesa & Tori, neither of whom are funny or witty. I was soiled about a certain player’s performance this season. If you want to enjoy a this season without being spoiled avoid this podcast all together. There are plenty of others that have wit and don’t spoil.
  • Iwantmymtv209
    Not again
    I will not be listening without Da’vonne and Devyn or at least one on. Hopefully they are back for 40. See ya then!
  • Chas Reviews
    Tori and Annesa
    Glad to have Tori and Annesa back
  • Opalmoon11
    Blah
    Aneesa and Toroid are insufferable. Bring back Devonne and Devyn please!
  • mariizzy
    Always look forward to the episodes
    I love Da’Vonne and Devyn as the hosts, they keep the commentary and interviews entertaining and funny .
  • shellk2022
    They people have spoken!!
    I think the people have spoken so can we please get dayvone out b4 next season starts and get Anissa n tori or just anyone better than her, it’s obvious everyone wants her out!!! This is why I give one star. When she’s not hosting it’s a solid 5 from me!!!
  • brooke☺️
    Off topic and contradicting
    The first thing they ask the winner (Emanuel) of Battle for a new champion is about his gf and cheating tendencies??? Out of all the things to ask?? Also both of the hosts really be saying stuff n then going against it and sucking up to the players. If ur gonna say it stick by it.
  • Jae2323
    Olivia 🗑️🚮🤮
    Great Pod but don’t interview the fake
  • MandaPanda247
    Lame
    This podcast has gone downhill! Way too many contradictory statements from the hosts. No money where your mouth is.
  • SHHA1981
    Bring back Anessa!
    Hey Da’Vonne! If you are going to do a podcast. Respect the guests by pronouncing their names correctly. “Horacio” is a silent H! He has mentioned that numerous of times! You wouldn’t like it if people mispronounced your name! Bring back Anessa please. Also Da’Vonne stop laughing every other sentence.
  • DMDOW1988
    Great pod!
    Loving this podcast. You ladies are so real and so funny!!!
  • Gabby Francois
    The smile in your face!!
    I just finished listening to the episodes with Moriah and Horacio. You ladies did a great job with the interviews! Asking the questions we all wanna know the answer to and also making sure timelines are clear (: the Horacio episode broke my heart 😭😭😭 before y’all even sang the song, I was singing it too. My dad used to play it when we were growing up. It was by The O Jays. 😂😂😂
  • challenge_chismosa
    Learn to say his name PLEEASSSSE!! 🙏🏽
    I LOVE yall but Horacio literally sounded it out for you. It’s O-RAH-SEE-YO. No H sound. He ain’t no Ho 😂😂
  • KelcRen
    Love Davonne and Devyn
    This podcast is entertaining because of Devyn and Davonne. They know how to speak their opinions but still stay neutral when talking with all the cast. They ask good questions and actually try to get spicy info from the guests. Keep them around for future seasons.
  • Ty tree
    Season 39
    I really don’t like that I have to erase an old review to make a new review, I know that is not up to you guys lol. My last review was quite critical and I quit listening to you ladies for awhile, for season 39 you ladies are killing it. Devyn, I love how you hold your guests feet to the fire. I understand there is a language barrier for Asaf so I try to give him some grace. By the end of the interview I feel like he is quite delusional and hypocritical. He takes no responsibility for the way his actions have been portrayed. He falls back on the old excuse that it’s all because of the edit. You said what you said, did what you did to give them what they have shown. I hate the misogyny that Jay and Asaf have shown this season. Throwing fits when women don’t fall in line. Trying to manipulate people to think he’s the only one that has their back. Davonne I wasn’t a fan, I have to credit where credit is due and I feel like you guys are doing a good job this season. Devyn, I still think your interview style is great and I’m glad I gave you ladies a second chance.
  • DizzyVanWinkle
    GIVE THESE WOMEN THE REUNION!
    If Devyn and Da’Vonne aren’t the hosts of season 39’s reunion, then the producers have dropped the ball completely. They address the issues we want addressed and ask the questions we want answered.
  • dayumDavonne
    I love this podcast!
    I turn this on every time I finish an episode of the Challenge. All four ladies are amazing hosts! This episode with CT… is he coming back for Season 40? Oh boy I hope so! Asaf…. He seemed like he was either not understanding your questions or deliberately not answering. I am glad he went home. I cannot wait to see more episodes and hear you guys talk about it!
  • BlkftRN
    Asaf interview
    Thank you ladies you are the first pod I listened to that interviewed this clown Asaf and checked him. He says idc if I get a call back but makes sure he calls out Devin to get a call back I can’t stand this delusional dude
  • kyliegrc
    Asaf
    The ladies housing the show are. I love that they speak. This episode really frustrates me. Good morning broken chair Is an idiot!!!
  • katiemc123
    Gone downhill
    I miss aneesa and tori, I felt like the interviews were more dynamic and interesting. I barely listen anymore.
  • MissKrystyne
    Bring back Aneesa!
    Please bring back Aneesa. D’avonne is so loud and obnoxious. Why is she always yelling! It’s hard to listen too. I find myself tuning in less. Sorry.
  • natasha77868
    Da’vonne and Devyn
    Are great together
  • JShaunG4249
    Spoilers
    I love the podcast but I have to unfollow because you spoil who lost every week. Keep their name out of the title for at least 24 hours. Get it together.
