222 -- Reunion (Part 2) and Season Awards!
After a second reunion episode, the "Double Agents" season of the Challenge has officially ended. With it, Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison are here to recap the entire run. Not only do they discuss the (slight) drama of the reunion episode, but they dish out season long awards. Who will win Rookie of the Year? Villain of the Year? MVP? Leroy, Kam, and CT all have great cases to make. It's such a close call that the Ellison Brothers go back and forth several times themselves. It's the last episode of the season for both the MTV show and the podcast!

221 -- Double Agents Reunion (p1)
The Double Agent season ended with a vet-rookie combination winning the $900,000, but there's still plenty to discuss in part one of the reunion episode. Or at least, SOME things to discuss. Dondrick and Zandrick talk about the lingering tension in the house, the now-cooling love triangle between Fessy, Tori, and Gabby, as well as the overall impact of CT's strong season and new look at the reunion. Rather than give out "Stock Ups, Stock Downs," The Ellison Brothers award some season awards, including Elimination of the Year and Comedian of the Year.

220 -- The World is not Enough
In part two of the final, a veteran/rookie team dominate from start to finish and WIN THE TITLE! Zan and Dondrick Ellison discuss the competition (or lack thereof) that led there, and how it may affect the legacies of those involved. Do we have a case for a new GOAT? Does Amber deserve Rookie of the Year? Do Kam or Leroy still merit some discussion for season MVP? And once again, we can't ignore the evil centaur Fessy who cemented his place as one of the most unlikable contestants in recent memory.

219 -- No Time to Die
With the FINAL finally underway, there's a lot to discuss as four evenly-matched teams wage war. Zan and Dondrick Ellison break down the developments of the first day of the final, including a surprising surge from Amber B. and a surprising breakdown from Kaycee's knee. Of course, Fessy's emotional breakdown was LESS surprising, but deserves to be a topic as well. The brothers weigh all that and more, make predictions for the final (part 2), and award Stock Up and Stock Down from what we've seen so far.

218 -- True Lies
On the last episode before the final, The Challenge steps up the level of athletic competition and the cast steps up the level of politicking. In the process, we got more of the Leroy-Kam love story, the Fessy-Kaycee friendship story, and a lot of one-liners from Kyle along the way. Zan and Dondrick discuss all that went down on the episode that proved to be one of the strongest of the season so far. As always, the brothers debate whose stock went up, whose stock went down, and look ahead to a competitive finals that should happen next week. With only 4 teams remaining, it could be one of the closest races in recent memory.

217 -- A Most Wanted Man
Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison recap and break down the latest episode -- "A Most Wanted Man" -- that centered on a seemingly inevitable vote into elimination. With the writing on the wall, the at-risk parties did their best to shake it up, but it turned out to be in vain. In their place, PRODUCTION stepped up with the bigger twist, although it's one that caused the Ellison Brothers to doubt the integrity of the show itself. Despite those questions, they still managed to dish out "Stock Up, Stock Down" and debate the future of the season.

216 -- Never Say Never Again
With all the gold skulls awarded, the competitors try to make heads and tails of the game, and Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison are right there with them to navigate the game and strategize potential pitfalls. On this week's episode -- Never Say Never Again -- we saw another female elimination that featured two women on the lower end of the totem pole. Could Aneesa redeem her reputation? Could Big T solidify her underdog comeback? The Brothers debate all those moments and more, along with their signature Stock Up and Stock Down game at the end.

With the final around the corner, the competitors are kicking their strategy into overdrive, and Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison need to do the same to keep up with them. They discuss all the politics in the latest episode -- "Best of Enemies" -- the course of events, and how that may shake up the future of the season so far. As always, the brothers dish out "Stock Up and Stock Down," feeling more generous with the market than they did during last week's short episode. Enjoy the discussion, the strategy, and the brotherly love!

214 -- the Spy who Loved Fessy
Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison break down the latest (and shortest) episode of the season, entitled "The Spy Who Loved Fessy." As you may imagine, the show gave us a lot of Fessy related drama, perhaps more than we even wanted. The brothers break down all the Fessy-related shenanigans and love triangles, as well as the (little) competition that led us to an inevitable showdown between two middling challengers in the elimination. As always, the brothers award "Stock Up and Stock Down" to those who impressed and those who didn't (Fessy)

213 -- Tinker, Tailer, Bunny, Spy
Zandrick Ellison and brother Dondrick Ellison take a deep dive into the 12th episode of the season, which focused on the (inevitable?) breakdown of the Big T - C.T. tandem. The brothers debate the politics behind that and everything that led up that moment -- including two eliminations with legendary competitors and former champions in C.T. and Darrell. As always, the brothers debate whose stock went up, whose stock went down, and how the twists and turns of this Double Agents season may eventually play out.

212 -- An Inconvenient Goof
Zandrick Ellison and his brother Dondrick dive deep into the latest episode of the "Double Agents" season, entitled "An Inconvenient Goof." They discuss that titular goof Josh, and whether C.T. was right to campaign to see him in a crater. And of course, they talk about the ATHLETE of all ATHLETES in Lolo Jones, who ended her quasi-rookie season in a disappointing fashion. As always, the brothers award "Stock Up and Stock Down" and make predictions about the future of the show, particularly in regards to the cliffhanger episode ending.

211 -- Amber Alert
Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison dive into the latest episode of the "Double Agents" season, entitled Amber Alert. Of course, that title suggests an Amber-centric episode which can only mean underwhelming results. Still, the brothers appreciated the concepts behind the daily and the elimination even if they didn't result in grand entertainment. The Ellisons debate the moves that got us here, the future of Nam-Lolo as America's/Germany's sweethearts, and the future of the players as the gold skulls dwindle and the finals drawn near.

Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison recap the latest episode of the Double Agents season, featuring the culmination of the feud between Kam and Theresa. The brothers dive into a disappointing trivia daily, a pretty strong elimination, and all the politics that led up to that point. As always, the Ellison Brothers will award "Stock Up and Stock Down" to their favorite and least favorite performances of the episode, and look ahead to how the strategies may play out as the show heads toward the final. They also make a little extra time to discuss MTV's scheduling and BK's burgers.

With only a few gold skulls remaining, Zandrick and Dondrick Ellison crank up their analysis of the "Double Agents" season with the latest episode, entitled "A Muddy Matter." The Ellison Brothers break down the muddy daily challenge and an especially underwhelming elimination. As always, the brothers discuss the politics and strategy behind the scenes that led us to that point and look ahead to (hopefully) better episodes to come. They evaluate the signature "Stock Up, Stock Down" segment and make predictions about how the game may continue with all the male skulls already awarded.

As always, the brothers award "Stock Up, and Stock Down" to their favorite and least favorite players of the week, and debate the future of the game.

Questions arise about the future of the game and whether Aneesa deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. As always, the brothers also award "Stock Up and Stock Down" at the end of the episode.

On this week's show, Zandrick and Dondrick break down the second episode of the "Double Agents" season, another strong showing that earned high grades from the brothers.

As always, the Brothers Ellison give out a "Stock Up, Stock Down" for the episode, although this one leaves them split on where to place Fessy.
