The Challenge USA 2 Season Review w/Ethanimale

[@Ethanimale]

Realized my microphone was on the wrong setting the entire time 🤦 regardless, I was super happy to talk about this and I really really hope USA 3 happens eventually

[@tonynguyen5275]

We have to wait a little longer for USA season 3. They have to finish up MTV Challenge 39, All Stars 4, and season 40. It could be awhile.

[@willielloyd7422]

I feel that the challenge USA 2 was amazing it had rookies who wasn’t afraid to make moves and had good dailies and eliminations

[@AngelcakeVids]

It was definitely a fun season. I'm sure there will be another next year especially with how the ratings were. Overall though this season was great. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@ryankelly1826]

I thought it was just nice to see somebody who didn’t coast to a final on the men’s side win, good for Chris.

[@AngelcakeVids]

Chris played one hell of a game and his finals performance was flawless. Definitely deserved to win. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@Brandoncye]

I was so happy we got not 1, but 2 new winners of the challenge! So happy Desi won too! 🏆

[@not.actually.thando]

this season was honestly a breath of fresh air

[@not.actually.thando]

i’m really hoping they can build up on this momentum

[@Rico401Prov]

Yeah the end result was one of the best outcomes in challenge history. Those vets deserved to eat shit courtesy of Chris

[@olivermensinger6022]

Really solid season. Liked it a lot.

[@U2BearCat]

I do agree part of the Challenge are the fights and drama in the house and everyone knew that there was huge fight between Bananas and Fessy and later between Josh and Fessy. Why did CBS not show it?

[@WinnerVegetable]

Really loved this season!

[@chargestone96]

I really think this was the right ratio of rookies to vets, gives the rookies room to make space socially and allows the vets to not be surrounded by to much relationships they need to preserve as it lets them play more

[@AngelcakeVids]

I agree. If it had been a 50/50 split the vets would've been able to run the game. But also these rookies/new players actually came to play. And to play their own game. It was awesome to watch. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@captaintalon4485]

@@AngelcakeVidsWe saw what a 50/50 split did on World Championship. Now having said that though I blame the format of World Championship where literally the vets were completely disregarding their partners

[@Brandoncye]

I also loved how they showed 2 episodes super close together in the beginning too.

[@U2BearCat]

Really enjoyed that to get the season started, hope they do that again.

[@DylanWolf_entertainment]

Also would love to hear both of your dream castings for another season. Wether it’s for a USA 3 or drafting the best possible challengers from other shows like BB, survivor, etc.

[@sanasacherif5424]

I love it when my favorite content creators come together for an EPIC collab. 🥰💪🏽

[@AngelcakeVids]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I love getting to sit down with Ethanimale and talk reality tv.

[@TheRealityGuys.BrettLarkin]

So mad I wasn’t available for the MOST HANDSOME CHALLENGE RECAPPERS MEETUP

[@blake94allen]

Has angelcake been hittin the gym? Lookin like he's preppin for a season of the challenge. Id root for him haha Great content by both of ya but expect nothing less!

[@AngelcakeVids]

Hahaha thanks for noticing. I didn't go this past week so I need to get back on it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@not.actually.thando]

also drew you’re freakin’ amazing

[@AngelcakeVids]

Thank you so much. I'm happy you are enjoying the content. More is coming soon.

[@U2BearCat]

Hall Brawl with mats and a puzzle has to go.

[@CozyPeace3]

I loved The Challenge USA 2. I can’t wait for The Challenge USA to go against The Challenge Australia, or UK. And I would love to see most of the faces on this season be apart of that.

[@kris2030]

Always love when you two collab! But I am very distracted by how it looks like Ethan is filming this while under a bed lmao

[@U2BearCat]

While I was happy to see a second season, I felt that CBS is deliberating trying to dumb down the Challenge by not showing the fights and juicier dramatic moments that really can make a Challenge season shine.

[@Cameron_David_]

You guys are sleeping on Chris who had the most impressive individual performance in the history of the franchise. As a rookie targeted for death for half of the season he won 4 elimns (sending a legend into retirement), the last two most crucial dailies and completely dominated the final. He won survivor and the challenge 2/2 which no one else has done.

[@Brandoncye]

He was a really good player. I hope they bring him back

[@U2BearCat]

Chris didn't send Wes into retirement. Chris eliminated Wes from the game. Wes had already decided to retire; Chris had nothing to do with his decision.

[@U2BearCat]

@@Brandoncye Chris has stated in interviews that he was "one and done" and had no plans to come back.

[@cougar33333]

I think if 40 is an all winners season, Wes would come back.

[@AngelcakeVids]

Especially if they bump up the money to say like over 1M or 2M since it's all winners. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@U2BearCat]

Editing really had Michelle shining and really growing with her game play.

[@captaintalon4485]

8:25 They stole that elimination from Takeshi’s Castle/MXC lol

[@U2BearCat]

That hot air balloon was lame.

[@U2BearCat]

I wish they would do that barrel one where you have to run over a barrel and every time the barrel moved it pulled a rope. I remember the guys finally figured out that running on top of the barrel was the way to do the elimination.

[@DylanWolf_entertainment]

Could we possibly get a collaboration video about all Reality stars crossing over onto other shows? I love ethanimale’s video!

[@DylanWolf_entertainment]

The best Challenge and Big Brother KZbin channels at least for me. Thanks again for all your content.

[@colbycarroll7112]

Chris’ championship>>>>Danny’s championship, the amount of times Chris was tested mentally and physically in this game and pushed through every single time was amazing to watch. Not to dig at Danny either but the level of competition between the two’s wins are non comparable imo..one faced former champs and vets, the other faced all rookies

[@U2BearCat]

Whose Danny?

[@colbycarroll7112]

@@U2BearCat Danny is Danny McCray the winner of The Challenge: USA season1 , and was a finalist on the World Championships with Tori. His season of The Challenge USA, featured no veterans at all and was made up of all rookies

[@tonynguyen5275]

I am not sure what happened to my previous comment, but I hope they will work on the Challenge USA season 3! Season 2 was good.

[@U2BearCat]

I do wish they showed how messy Chris's social game was.

[@Dalasjanetluv]

Chris made this season …..talk about under dog

[@U2BearCat]

Chris won, but he made it very messy for himself.

[@ZavidWebster]

My Way: Josh

[@abramreyes]

This season would have been better if they kept all the drama/fights

[@Mr36Chamberz]

This!!! It was a snoozer

[@TheRealityGuys.BrettLarkin]

It’s pronounced Ethan-Animal. Right????

[@U2BearCat]

Even though Chris won, in every interview I have heard from Chanelle, Michaela, and Desi all stated that Chris's social game was terrible and very very messy.

[@AliFrankTheTank]

Chris with a MVP type szn… Micheala and Fessy FLOPPERS

[@U2BearCat]

Both Desi and Micheala were dehydrated, thankfully Desi less than Michaela resulting in a win.

[@Brandoncye]

​@@U2BearCathow do you know they where dehydrated? I don't remember it saying that on the show. Maybe I'm wrong?

[@U2BearCat]

@@Brandoncye I listened to both Michaela and Desi's interviews on The Official MTV Challenge podcast and on Banana's podcast Death, Taxes, and Bananas on Spotify. Both ladies said they ran out of water and were dehydrated. Michaela also stated the reason she passed out was a lack of food, dehydration, and trying to run too fast from the Risk Station 2 to Risk Station 3 trying to beat Desi there. Desi said she ran out of water during the run and that the reason she and Chanelle arrived at Risk Station 3 at the same time was that Desi was sharing Chanelle's water.

[@HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows9]

Shontell second place is as impressive as furniture Clark's second place in total madness

[@U2BearCat]

I do wish the final was longer, for example 20 miles instead of 10 miles. The longer mileage I truly think would have resulted in a different winner. I also wish with this crew they had just left all 8 finalists try to finish instead of purging Fessy and Tori.

[@Mr36Chamberz]

They purge people on almost every final, so yeah you’ll prob never get that request.

[@U2BearCat]

@@Mr36Chamberz I liked how they did it on the USA 1 final with the larger group. The War of the Worlds final was really good too. All Star 1 was good too, just to see all those folks given an opportunity to do a final and finish it. Really relish seeing how bad Aneesa was and the irony of having Big Easy wait for her. It those moments of a final you really remember vs who the heck the winner was.

[@HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows9]

Fesyy multi time finalist ...You mean multi time flop

[@gman1474]

Desi, Michaela & Chanelle dominated. I don't get why ppl thought they needed to get rid of Tori. Tori has only 1 win. She competes against Aneesa & Nany. The Secret Garden is waaay tougher than her past competitors

[@U2BearCat]

The Challenge and Survivor are games where you have to eventually backstab. Own it. I hated final tribal councils where folks sprouted how they wanted to play with integrity. That's why Desi getting that emotional over lying to Tori is nonsensical.

[@gman1474]

Good season. Not a fan of showmances & unnecessary drama. Watch the Bachelor & Real Housewives if u like that crap. I watch The Challenge for competition & strategy. This season supplied both

[@U2BearCat]

This was not a well designed final.

[@HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows9]

This season was way better and You know why? Because only one lame parricipant from lame brother Made it to the final

[@ryanrich06]

Sounds like Ethanimale is from the same place Michelle is from. They have the same accent, almost identical. Pennsylvania someplace???

[@Mr36Chamberz]

I was extremely bored at the beginning of the season. Once the boring people got picked off and the other personalities could pop it became a great season!
