The Warrior Awards - Celebrating 300 Episodes of Reality TV Warriors
Friday Feb 21, 2020
Friday Feb 21, 2020
It's our 300th episode, and what better way to celebrate than to do one of our most contentious episodes ever? In this episode, Michael, Logan, Anthony & Michelle look back over the past six years of shows that we've recapped & experienced and separate nominees from winners.
Over ten categories, the team dissect the past six years and tell some never-before-podcasted-about stories. Also in this episode - we try and clear up a rumour about Michelle, Logan tells his Big Brother Canada audition story, we remember Tara Basro, we wonder why The Mole Australia 6 was *so* cursed and finish the podcast by getting a bit emotional about what the past 300 episodes have meant to us.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael, Logan, Anthony & Michelle directly and we also have an email address!
Thank you so much for listening to anything we've done over the past six and a half years - we couldn't have done any of it without you guys listening. We'll be back to continue our ongoing Wie is de Mol 2020 and Hunted UK Series 5 coverage next week, as well as beginning the hunt for the Belgian Mole in the second week of March! See you soon.
