The Reality Of: The Challenge w/ Kyland Young

The Reality Of Reality

Show Notes

Being on three major reality shows isn’t easy — but if anyone can do it, it’s Kyland Young. In this episode, Kyland looks back on his time on Big Brother, including what it was like being part of one of the most iconic alliances in reality TV history: The Cookout.

Then we dive deep into his experience on The Challenge — from living in the house and navigating the social politics, to competing in grueling finals, managing alcohol limits, and surviving the, rather boring, filming schedule.

And of course, we get into the tea! Kyland shares his thoughts on overrated challengers, aspects of the show he’d change, his dream competitors to face off against, and so much more.

If you’re a Challenge fan, you won’t want to miss Kyland breaking down The Reality Of: The Challenge.
