Shout-out to @AntFTW for spotting this! New 8-part doc on YouTube. Looks similar to the Challenge History series they did, but more focused on individual challengers this time.

Anticipation, discussion, good-natured snark, and responses of "Ohh, Devin" can go here!

I've only gotten around to watching CT's episode. How are the others?

They're okay. I liked Cara's episode.

Lots of omissions as well?

Yup.

I'm not a great Devin fan and I'm not much more of a fan after watching this.  He admits he goes for a weakness when he finds one and doesn't let up until he breaks the person.  But in that whole thing with Bananas, that didn't work out so well for him.  Johnny found Devin's weakness and went for it and Devin didn't like that.  It was an obvious low blow, but Bananas told him repeatedly to back off before it got to that point.  It goes both ways. 

Tori's episode was interesting tho.  She seems to own up to her issues and her part in things.  Seems to be trying to move forward.

Wow, did not expect to enjoy Big T's episode as much as I did! Definitely have a newfound appreciation for her after learning her story and everything she's been through in life. While she may not be the best Challenge competitor, I truly believe she's a special person after watching that episode!

So....they did 8 of these, and one of them was.....Big T??

TBC, I have zero issues with her.  I just don't understand why she got one of the eight out of all the Challengers we've watched over the last 2+ decades.

Probably because she actually had a compelling story. I personally prefer her getting one over people like Amanda or Bananas who I can't stand as people and didn't even bother to watch. Even with someone like Devin who I like, I found the episode to be pretty boring. I do wish they would have done Wes, Jordan, or some of the old schoolers like Evelyn who we haven't seen in forever.

These may have been the only people who agreed to do it.  

I don't care for Amanda in the game but I found her episode interesting.  I always wonder how these people can get away for months at a time to film these.  Most of them don't have "real jobs" but Amanda does so I really wonder how she gets the time off.  

ETA:  By which I mean, a clock-in, clock-out, show up every day to get paid kind of job.

Bananas claims that Sarah’s first season after the Ruins was Battle Of The Exes II. What timeline was he living in? She did like 6 more seasons in between those.

I had to pause. I was like "that can't be true. I do recall her being on Cutthroat, Exes 1, and Battle of the Seasons, and Rivals 2."
