Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Michaela Bradshaw.MICHAELA BRADSHAW returns to the show to talk about her action packed season of Vets and New Threats, covering the game moves that got her to the final, her injury, her perceived turmoil and rivalries with Olivia, Theo, Cara and Chavez and why she'd prefer CT as a partner over all of them, how come she's never smiling in her production stills and MORE. This is a podcast and interview filled with drama and hard-hitting questions and topics.We sincerely hope that it's pull-no-punches approach can at least partially serve as a fitting tribute to an amazing contributor and patron that we sadly lost over the weekend. If you have listened to or followed Challenge Mania anytime since 2019 you have no doubt heard us mention the name Paul Shailor or "Evil Paul" as we very affectionately referred to him on what felt like a weekly basis. Paul was a constant presence on the show, in the questions and comments threads, on Zooms, at our Michigan Area Events and in our Maniac Group Chat. We were heartbroken to hear from his wife yesterday that he passed away this weekend. This episode is dedicated to him. We will really miss you, Paul. It is not sappy hyperbole to say that Challenge Mania will truly not be the same without you. Rest in Peace, brother.WATCH this interview here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-michaela-147017774www.ChallengeManiacs.comwww.ChallengeMania.Livewww.ChallengeMania.Shop
