Tori and Aneesa go even more behind the scenes than usual in this episode, as they are joined by Ryan Smith, the Executive Producer and Showrunner of The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies. They discuss how a season comes together, the most difficult challenges and eliminations to execute, and the biggest hurdles he faced while putting this season together. The Challenge vets also dive into a muddy challenge, a bold move by a rookie, and a devastating end to one challenger's season.

Watch new episodes of The Challenge every Wednesday, and go behind the scenes with Tori and Aneesa the next morning, on MTV's Official Challenge Podcast.
