As I’ve done with prior seasons, I have giving you a second-by-second analysis of the trailer for the upcoming Challenge season: Final Reckoning. While there are no “spoilers” here, it’s incredibly easy to draw some conclusions from this post. If you’re trying to stay 100% spoiler-free, this may not be the post for you.
