This is the fly by the seat of our pants style 9 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,280 podcast. It is. We had a meeting on Saturday. I don't know 10 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,519 why I didn't do anything until twenty minutes before we were supposed to start recording, 11 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,799 because you're a slacker. Zach is also a slacker. He was supposed 12 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:19,760 to come up with some phrases and record them, and he didn't. I'm 13 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,719 the only one that did what I was supposed to do. How about that, 14 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,920 guys? You impressed? Well, I figured, as long as I 15 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,000 have my sound drops before I'm not here, I'm good. Yeah. I 16 00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:34,000 guess that's true. Yeah, Zach, Zach might be replaced by robo Zach 17 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:40,319 at some points during this season. Yes, someone got his work schedule changed 18 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,239 the last second. There may be some good Wednesday news and we'll we'll discuss 19 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,239 on the after show. Right, cool, Olivia's coming to work at his 20 00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:55,920 job and he'll never talk to us again. Um, all right, you're 21 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,359 ready to jump into this week's two episode premiere. And the fucking MTV made 22 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:07,879 the first episode an hour and a half with commercials. Well, so I 23 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,560 think they did that because the first episode aired on MTV. Oh did it 24 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,080 it? Did it aired on MTV tonight? Oh? Yeah on TV. 25 00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:22,360 Yeah. But still, you guys don't have the paramount plus, you know, 26 00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:27,560 like super additional without commercials because I had no commercials online. Yeah we 27 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:30,240 do. We have the good edition. Wolfe's just bitch into bitch. How 28 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,080 did you get on yours? But apparently mine's better because mine did not have 29 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,639 commercials? Yeah, didn't have commercials either, commercials A commercial. I said 30 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,919 it. I said it was an hour and a half with commercials. I 31 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,479 don't mean I watched commercials. I was just I was able to do the 32 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520 math and be like, oh, this motherfucker was an hour and a half. 33 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,719 If there had been commercials, it would have made things longer. Yeah, 34 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,599 Because I didn't have a chance to watch the episodes until right before we 35 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,199 recorded. I thought I was getting a forty five minute and a forty five 36 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,520 minute how's to my surprise when I get home and I'm just like, what 37 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:12,280 the fuck? Over an hour? Goddamn it, dude. There is definitely 38 00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:16,280 some challenge fatigue. It's not just me, like, I see people talking 39 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,000 about it online and stuff too. It's unending now either. You never can 40 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,560 look forward to the challenge. It's just it never stops. It's crazy people 41 00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,240 fatigued. I felt fatigued this morning. I was like, man, do 42 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,400 I really need to sit down and watch two and a half hours of the 43 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,560 show? And I was hooked. I was obsessed with the season. So 44 00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:42,080 the season has a strong start. I've enjoying it so far. In the 45 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,759 chat room, Carlin says she'll come on the show. I'm assuming she's meaning 46 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:51,280 of Zach has to take the week off, so we may just dump Zack 47 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,680 altogether and bring back another female host. Oh, Zach, everybody will be 48 00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,800 happy you're fired. Oh you'll fire. Remember what that was fun to say? 49 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,360 If a weird band in this scheme, mask comes to your door. 50 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:12,039 Do not worry. Alright, this episode of breakfasting down all right. Hey, 51 00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,479 World Championship, guys, very exciting. I think they were going to 52 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,000 call this War the World's Originally they didn't realize that there's already two seasons called 53 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,759 War the Worlds, So this is a World Championship. You don't know about 54 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,160 that. We covered both of them. Mophe No, No, I'm saying 55 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,319 they didn't. Actually, I think they were going to call it that. 56 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,279 Oh. I think it was tentatively titled that. I remember hearing that like 57 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:39,639 a tentative name early on. Yeah, pretty stupid. Well anyway, Hey, 58 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,560 they're in South Africa this time, guys. It's a little bit of 59 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000 a departure from where we've seen them lately, but it's kind of nice. 60 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:50,360 New new setting, Yeah, new setting, new digs, new uh, 61 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,360 new attitude, I don't know, yeah, new attitude. Um. All 62 00:04:56,399 --> 00:05:00,279 these teams show up. So we've got Argentina, US, UK, Australia. 63 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,079 They're all showing up in their various luxury suv is very much reminds me 64 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,839 of the cutthroat Intro. Pretty stupid. And there's all these helicopters flying around 65 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:19,480 also pretty stupid. Um, did you guys watch anything other than USA? 66 00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:25,040 I watched Australia, did you. Okay, so you're you're familiar with some 67 00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:29,199 of these characters. Yeah, I am very excited about all the Australians. 68 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,519 Okay, I mean I like everybody. Really. I will say I'm disappointed 69 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,879 there's a Kiki on this season. We don't need two kikiS, one in 70 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,759 spirit and one actually there. I know we should have a Kiki counter of 71 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,199 just how many times we hear the name Kiki. It's gonna be a long 72 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,399 season. We'll say. I did make a note. Twenty three minutes in 73 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:59,720 Danny starts talking about Kiki. First Kiki watch yes one twenty three minutes out 74 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,439 of this, and I like what he says too, Like I'm gonna like 75 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,480 Kiki because that's my wife's name, and so she's probably a good person. 76 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,000 I don't think that's related to the name. She could be a horrible person. 77 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,240 Um, do you think all people name Hillary are horrible people? Most? 78 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:19,079 Yeah? I mean fair enough. I only know too, and they're 79 00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:26,720 bad. Okay, So TJ is not the only host this season, guys, 80 00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,600 at least not for this little weird portion. They have the the other 81 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:33,279 hosts from the other shows standing up there with DJ. Yeah, I don't 82 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:36,240 like this. I don't like TJ standing next to other people makes me really 83 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:44,399 uncomfortable. Did you guys have him? No, that didn't bother me. 84 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,480 It does give him a moment later where he gets to laugh at a bunch 85 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,240 of people, and that was kind of fun. That was fun. I'm 86 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,759 just used to him. Whenever we see him, he's standing in the middle 87 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,279 of a big areen all by himself with his hands like like he's praying. 88 00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,000 Sort of. Um, he seemed a little more casual here. I guess 89 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,079 that was cool. All right. So they're just saying all the typical stuff, 90 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,399 Welcome to the challenge, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But 91 00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:11,959 this isn't all the players. We're gonna bring in some other players. This 92 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,720 is where the helicopters really start going crazy. Everybody looks up. They didn't 93 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,800 land these helicopters in this field, right, come on? Well, it 94 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,439 was obviously like an editing thing to make it look like, oh, it's 95 00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:24,920 helicopters. They bring the more people, It's like, no, this ship 96 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,439 was shot like right days earlier, yeah, then the legends just come walking 97 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,319 down the stairs of the arena, right. Otherwise it's like they're gonna TJ 98 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,759 saying well, we're gonna bring some legends out. And then it's like a 99 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:42,079 half hour later the helicopters have landed and they come running out. I don't 100 00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:44,759 think that's how that happened. It's ok a good like hour and a half 101 00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:46,399 of them waiting like, okay, where are these people? Like? Right? 102 00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:50,399 So, yes, the legends come walking out. Every one of them 103 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,000 kind of takes turns bragging about why they're a legend, why everybody should love 104 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,959 them and know who they are. As they get bound down to the bottom, 105 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,600 TJ says there's five five hundred thousand dollars up for grabs. He got 106 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,399 in a little heat. Did you guys hear about this? For USA? 107 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,560 He said something about five hundred thousand, like the winner will get five hundred 108 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,240 thousand dollars or something, and so Danny thought, I'm gonna get five hundred 109 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,000 grand and he ended up having to split it with Sarah, and so he 110 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,519 was kind of upset about that, which I would be too. That's a 111 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,319 lot of money. But so I think t is gonna be a little more 112 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,480 careful with how he says it. So every time he talks about the cash 113 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,759 prize, this time he says it's like up for grabs or your portion of 114 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,519 half a million dollars, that sort of stuff. Carlin wants to know why 115 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,960 the hell Nelson's is there. He's not a legend. I agree, It 116 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,879 just says, why isn't Devin there? Way more of a legend than Elson. 117 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,279 That's well, he's at least a champ. Devin probably should be there. 118 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,960 I don't know why he's not. Joker said, I was hoping they 119 00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:01,360 were going to rope down like Navy seals. Right. Well, the other 120 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,559 one we're missing is CT. CT is probably the number one challenge legend. 121 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,759 Um, he couldn't do it for personal reasons, but it is weird to 122 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,080 have a show like this without CT. You would feel like he probably needs 123 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:20,000 the money, you would think, so I'd say CT is probably number two. 124 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,200 Oh, of course you would say that. Of course you would say 125 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:31,039 that. Okay. So basically this is like a qualifier. So the MVPs 126 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:35,039 are going to run in a series of little mini competitions to see who's the 127 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,480 best. And for those of us that have seen seasons of this show before 128 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,879 we know how this is going to work out. At some point they're gonna 129 00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:45,000 pair up with the Legends, and the way you place in this sort of 130 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:50,200 mini final depends on how you get your partner. So without much ado and 131 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,360 much without much setting up, they just start doing all these things. Checkpoint 132 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:58,320 one guy's eating. We're starting this season off on the I love these eating 133 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,639 things. I love them, and I see nothing complaints about them online. 134 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,080 All I could think watching that with the white liquid and the like the black 135 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,440 pedestals, was Tim is loving this? I absolutely was. Did you guys 136 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,960 actually watch it like real men? Or did you have to fast forward through 137 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,919 it? I watched it nice, so you got to the part where Ben 138 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:22,320 was screaming while vomiting and getting it all stuck in his spirit. It was 139 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,120 great. I think that's probably my favorite puke of of the Challenge so far, 140 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,080 is that TJ laugh at his ass off, who the female host who 141 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,159 was just like, oh, I can't Oh, that was great. The 142 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,840 only thing I just wish they would tell us what it is. The last 143 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,200 two seasons they make them drink this gross concoction stuff, but they don't tell 144 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,240 us what it is, and it really takes away some of the enjoyment for 145 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,960 me. Yeah, and just you know, because I'm sure some people comment 146 00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:52,120 on it. If we don't correct it at we'll feed the Australian host is 147 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,240 non binary and say them apologies. I did not watch. I was not 148 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,960 aware. Yep. They then well from here and now I don't think they 149 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,799 appear again, so you don't need another car already just corrected me in the 150 00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:13,159 chat room as well. Oh, you were right, buddy. Zack's like, 151 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,120 nobody's gonna let this one slide. We're gonna jump up. Yeah, 152 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:22,200 and that's perfectly fine. I had no idea, so I have no problem 153 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,000 using correct pronouns when I made aware of them. So that's the thing. 154 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,679 Yeah, it's yeah, it shouldn't be offensive if you screw it up, 155 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720 just like tell us the right one and then we'll try to use it. 156 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:35,000 That's fine. Uh okay, So yeah, Ben pukes all over himself. 157 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,480 It's fantastic. I watched this episode twice, guys, once just sort of 158 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,559 to enjoy it and then wants to take my notes. Only the second time 159 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,039 did I even notice that Nathan was there? Um with all these new people. 160 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,919 I just missed them all, but Nathan does, like say quite a 161 00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:52,240 bit in this first episode. Normally, if they you know, we get 162 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:56,559 an early evac we don't even see them, but Nathan is like they're in 163 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,720 present. Kind of weird. Yeah, I mean he's to be like the 164 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,720 head of the you know, the snake to type put together the the UK 165 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,600 and was the Australia Alliancer. Yeah. We saw just one shot of him 166 00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,879 much later in the episode, but on a couch sort of saying like the 167 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,759 other teams need to band together against Team USA, which is like a super 168 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,720 smart plan. Um, it's probably not going to go anywhere now that he's 169 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:26,080 gone, but anybody that's not railing for that is probably pretty stupid. Green. 170 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,559 Okay, so we're still the eating station. Ben finishes first grant, 171 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,759 his second, Troy is third. Um as we see Ben like he you 172 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,600 know, he launches out of the arena or whatever and he runs past all 173 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,039 the legends. They're all standing and they're cheering, watching everybody do what they 174 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,639 need to do. Wonder where they're at. I'm like, why is nobody 175 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:50,039 because usually they would cut to like people like laughing because people were puking so 176 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,759 much. But yeah, Yeah, why weren't they allowed to watch the eating 177 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,960 stuff? It's kind of weird. I would have liked to see that too. 178 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,519 But so the next station is that weighted tire that they need to hit 179 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,879 with a sledgehammer. Um, I don't know, fifteen feet or something to 180 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,240 go into the next one. So from here and out it kind of cuts 181 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,159 between people that are still struggling to eat and then the other ones that are 182 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:22,360 knocking the tires down the thing. What did you guys think about this tire 183 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:30,120 thing? Any seem probably hard to do. Yeah, Jordan probably would have 184 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,159 killed this. He would have been like, Oh, it's all about momentum 185 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,039 and timing and all that stuff, which is probably right. But yeah, 186 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,720 I could tell my shoulders hurt just watching it, so I know it's probably 187 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:43,480 tough. Yeah. When I first thought it, I was like, Oh, 188 00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,600 that's not gonna be that hard to knock a you know, a tire 189 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,799 down a lane. But then seeing Ben go out and just how much he 190 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,240 struggled, I was like, they weighted those really heavy. Yeah, they 191 00:13:54,279 --> 00:14:00,600 did. So all all three of us are sort of a rural people, 192 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,080 right, We were all sort of born in rural environments. Do you guys 193 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,440 swing sledge hammers. Could you swing a sledgehammer or an axe or anything big 194 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,960 like that? Could I? Yes, do I do it on a regular 195 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,559 basis? No? I mean so, I have used a sledgehammer, but 196 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,919 I've always I've always done any kind of coming from, you know, upwards 197 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,600 in a downmosh. I've never had to hit something like sideways with it. 198 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:30,120 Yeah, it was a it was an awkward motion, but um, you 199 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,919 could tell the people that had swung a sledgehammer before versus people that didn't. 200 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,039 Like Ben had a really good technique. He held that sledgehammer like by the 201 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:43,759 very end of the handle, whereas Danny, who is probably stronger in every 202 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,840 single measurement, was doing much worse on this because he was holding it right 203 00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:50,679 up by the head of the sledgehammer. You just don't get the leverage that 204 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,440 way. He's a football player, Now there's anything wrong with that. It's 205 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,279 just he's been probably most of his life focused more on sports than doing like 206 00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:05,600 outside work like that. Totally. It's really like it's the it's the sort 207 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:11,000 of blue collar guys that do well at stuff like this. Jordan and Ben 208 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,120 and you know, they just sort of know how to hold these tools. 209 00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:18,759 So yeah, Ben does pretty well. Danny does not do well. Ryan 210 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,639 wants to know why they didn't just hook the tire with the sledgehammer and drag 211 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,720 it. Some did. We saw a couple of them doing that, some 212 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,039 did, some did towards the end, yeah, and I was like, 213 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,879 oh, is that allowed? Let him go? So I'm like all right, 214 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,679 yeah, And I think I saw somebody even just trying to push it, 215 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,679 Like he had the sledgehammer up against the tire, up against this belly 216 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,159 and was just trying to like walk in and like whatever you gotta do to 217 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:45,120 get that thing moving. I don't know. Um, pretty weird one of 218 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,840 those. They were there for like three hours and everybody's just like it's fine, 219 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,519 just let them go, just get it done, Go go go. 220 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,720 The next checkpoint are those like weird cement wheel things that they have to sort 221 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,679 of balance on and get them to roll over. Um. We've never seen 222 00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,559 anything like this, at least not that I can remember. But I kind 223 00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,600 of like this, what do you guys think it was? All? Right? 224 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,919 I mean it's sort of like the boxes where you have to flip the 225 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,919 boxes over without touching your feet touch on the ground. Yeah, it's kind 226 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:18,559 of like that. Yeah it is. It seemed like a lot of people 227 00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:22,480 sort of crawled backwards on it. But I think the smarter move I think 228 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,279 we saw Sarah do it is keep your feet on the inside of the thing 229 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:27,720 and just sort of walk it on the inside. It seems easier, don't 230 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:36,159 you guys think? I think I would have fell off. M I saw 231 00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:40,440 Ben hop up and try to like run it, like run run on it 232 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,279 so that it would just roll, and it started off like real good, 233 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,440 and then all of a sudden just note Yeah, no, it's a those 234 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:48,480 those balancing things are a slow and steady type of a situation for sure. 235 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,840 Um. But Ben is the first to that weird cement wheel thing. But 236 00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:59,279 he's struggling, so obviously balance is not his main deal at this station. 237 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,880 He has passed by Grant and Troy. Um, I like Troy Zach. 238 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,880 Is Troy really cool? You've seen the whole series, right, Yeah, 239 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,440 he's a he is joyful, He's like, you know, he's just kind 240 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,440 of he's not what you a picture for someone that's a ninja war He's just 241 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,680 this very like eccentric, goofy character. Yeah, so I love it, 242 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:23,160 Like, you know, like, no one really, you know in Australia 243 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,079 took him that serious, like they talked about like, oh he's a ninja 244 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,839 warrior, but he's just such a goofball that they're like, oh, you 245 00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:33,480 know, we like him. Yeah, And I like little guys on the 246 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,079 challenge. I don't know why I A I have a soft spot because you 247 00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:37,640 know he's not gonna do well and like, uh, you know a pole 248 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:44,160 wrestle or hum Hall brawl or something, but they have like it because you 249 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,400 want to knew Derek since you don't like Derek. Now, I was thinking 250 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,559 more like a huddah okay, a little guy who like probably doesn't really stand 251 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,359 in a chance to win, but he's kind of fun to watch. He 252 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,599 had just had to duck. I mean, he e one in Australia, 253 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,880 so why not again? Oh I guess that's true. Yeah, it's that 254 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,480 was stupid of me to say it's not likely to for him to win and 255 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:10,880 he has coming off of win. Tell me a piece of shit. I 256 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,640 know I didn't watch the Aussie version. What can I say? Was there 257 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,640 less physical stuff in the Aussie version, zach Um, I wouldn't say so. 258 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,079 I mean a lot of the challenges we saw in Rider dies were recycled 259 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,359 for the Australian one. Okay, so just think of last season. Yeah, 260 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,920 that's basically what they did. So he either got lucky by avoiding elimination 261 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:37,200 or avoiding the super physical eliminations, or maybe he just dominated somehow strategy. 262 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,720 Maybe I should watch the Australian version. Maybe maybe I'll just speculate blindly and 263 00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:48,200 wildly. All right, So next up is a weird puzzle. Again, 264 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,039 We've never seen anything like this. It's these like canisers that are different weights 265 00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:56,799 and you have to line them up from heaviest to lightest, and then something 266 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,359 happens in the middle that they never quite specify. Five but you convert these 267 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,440 to some sort of a code and then you win based on the code. 268 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,920 I still don't know how they solved this. I don't have any I don't 269 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,559 know because they were they didn't really weigh them. They were all just picking 270 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:17,960 them up and kind of this one seems slighter than this one. Yeah, 271 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000 but that was that was the game though. No, no, no, 272 00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:22,759 but I'm just saying, if there's something that are really close, like I 273 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,559 would have sucked it up. Oh yeah, I don't think my like weight 274 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,039 system would help me with that. I'd probably be like, oh, this 275 00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:33,319 one seems really heavy, and they're like, oh that's the lightest one. 276 00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:38,599 God damn it. You would be a Tristan in this, uh situation. 277 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:45,279 So doing all this, they sprinkle in some drama that we as Americans may 278 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,079 not know because they happen in these foreign Challenge seasons. But there's some drama 279 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,079 between Kiki and Emily. Um, but it seems stupid drama. It seems 280 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,759 like show based she beat you elimination and she shouldn't have type of drama. 281 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,400 But we'll see them revisit that, I'm sure. I just don't know why 282 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,200 they made these all available like within the last like two weeks. Yeah, 283 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,759 you possibly a little better. Yeah, it's hard to get through three seasons 284 00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,640 of a show like that, right, I mean, yeah, it is, 285 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,640 But they're not too bad. I think that show one's only like nine 286 00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:19,720 or ten episodes. UK is only five episodes. Well that's not that bad. 287 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,559 I was not aware. Yeah, Argentina's only gonna be like five episodes 288 00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:30,440 as well. I think every Challenge season should be five episodes, said with 289 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:34,400 love for the challenge. Uh yeah, so Danny was actually last coming off 290 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,799 the tire thing. He's actually just now finishing the tire as well as you 291 00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:41,880 know. Everybody else's passed the cement wheel onto the puzzle. Danny's just figuring 292 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:48,319 out the tire thing. Uh. Theo's bad, guys, THEO, good 293 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:55,119 old THEO. He was on two seasons. I know, it is kind 294 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,440 of weird. He performed really well in War of the Worlds. But then 295 00:20:57,519 --> 00:21:00,720 yeah, it's I don't know, he's not I would place him as a 296 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:07,160 legend either, whoever that I guess because this is the drama with what's her 297 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,079 face? Kaz, That's what I was just getting at. Yeah, we 298 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,119 again would not know this, but THEO and Kaz were in a year long 299 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,319 relationship, so pretty serious deal. But they haven't spoken since, so we 300 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:26,319 might get another Tory and Jordan style situation here. I'm not invested in this 301 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,160 because, yeah, THEO, we haven't seen him for a long time, 302 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,799 but I've never seen Kas before, so I frankly do not care about their 303 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:33,720 relationship. What do you guys think? Yeah, Kas is one of those 304 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,319 characters I just you know, she seems okay, but I just didn't get 305 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:41,559 into her, so I'm like, I don't know, like care Yeah, 306 00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,240 I agree, all right, Well, Troy finishes the puzzle first, so 307 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:52,079 Troy is pretty decent puzzles. That's good. And the very last thing in 308 00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:59,000 this sort of qualifier miniach final thingy is getting a big heavy flagpole, dragging 309 00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:03,960 it across the field and getting it lifted up to represent your country, and 310 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:11,119 then you win this challenge. Troy, this is where his size really comes 311 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,599 back to bite him, because he's got the flagpole in the base before anybody 312 00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,000 else is even there, and he just can't get the thing lifted up. 313 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,359 Instead, Grant just passes him right away. He finishes the puzzle and seems 314 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:32,680 to get that flag up like right away, no problem. So Grant's first, 315 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,559 Ben his second, Nathan his third, and then Danny and then Zara. 316 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,240 She's the winner for the women, has a second place for the women. 317 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:48,279 Ultimately, Tristan can't get past the puzzle. He's just out yep, 318 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,559 like TJ has come up. He's like, you got fifteen minutes, you 319 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:55,079 need to figure this out. It's just like nope, out of time. 320 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:02,880 Yeph Claudia also time out at the puzzle. So those two do not complete 321 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,000 this qualifier, but the other ones do, Okay, So the rest of 322 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,799 the order is Rodrigo, Justine, Troy, Kiki, Sarah, and whoo 323 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,200 Ee, which is the best name ever. Whohoi theig into that name. 324 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,039 So this is the point. Well, I would say, what the challenges? 325 00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:23,599 They did something different on here, which your guys opinion on where for 326 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,079 each challenge, And they did later in the elimination as well. They showed 327 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:33,519 you like, this challenge is fifty percent physical, thirty percent mental, twenty 328 00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:37,799 percent endurance. What do you guys think about? Man, they were made 329 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:42,480 up stupid numbers. But I mean I liked that they tried to covet their 330 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,319 bases. You know, they had a little of everything. Like it's a 331 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,519 mini final, so they had eating, they had balance, they had strength, 332 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:52,759 they had a puzzle. They had like a little bit of everything. 333 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:53,799 I thought that was cool. I'm not sure they need to call it out 334 00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:59,000 as eighty percent strength, ten percent balance. It's like, who cares? 335 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,000 No. I was just glad to see that Sarah finished last, because what 336 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,200 do you have against Sarah? She's just obnoxious. I just don't like her. 337 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,440 Oh she thinks she's great at everything and then shows up last in this 338 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,599 and she's like I should have been first. I'm like, should you have 339 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,759 because you weren't. The only thing that saved you is you didn't DQ like 340 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:26,880 Claudia did. Well, you know, she did finish first in Survivor and 341 00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:30,880 in the Challenge you, I say, yeah, because everybody else quit, 342 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,559 so she's pretty good. We're still under the assumption that production helped her with 343 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,759 that puzzle just so they would have someone to win because everybody else had already 344 00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:44,640 quit. I absolutely do think that she wasn't. Sort of by default, 345 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,559 everyone else quit, so they were just like Sarah, just just go Yeah. 346 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:52,880 I think that's probably true. Well, this is where TJ tells us 347 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,720 a little more about the game. So Zara and Grant are the winners of 348 00:24:56,759 --> 00:25:00,960 this little qualifier thing, so they are safe from elimination. And we probably 349 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,599 could have guessed this. This happens every season, but it's nice to know. 350 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,160 And we also find out that Claudia and Tristan are going straight into elimination 351 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,799 because they lost. And big fan of this. We've been complaining about this 352 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,240 for a while. Last place should always go to elimination. Greed so happy 353 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:23,680 to see this back. Yes, me too, all right, And that 354 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,880 is it for the qualifying mini final Wolfee, do we have a new sponsor? 355 00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:37,920 We do.

TJ tells everybody that these 366 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,279 new recruits are going to be partnered with a Challenge legend. Can you believe 367 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:40,079 it? You're telling that already? He does? He does? Yeah, 368 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,480 I could remember. I was. I was thinking. Everybody thought that that's 369 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,519 how I was gonna go. I don't know, I must Nobody is surprised 370 00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,960 by this but you're right, there is Like several times it's sort of revealed, 371 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,640 like I wonder if we're gonna be partnered up about Yeah, stupid, 372 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,880 of course they're gonna be partnered up. That's why they're there's So we're back 373 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,880 at the house. Do you guys think of this house? Seems nice? 374 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,160 Yeah? Yeah, it looked familiar. I feel like I've seen it used 375 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,359 for another reality show. I can't think of what. It was kind of 376 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,400 like a high end bunker. It was like cement walls with sort of weird 377 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,640 industrial lighting. But I liked it too. Ye, bananas is doing his 378 00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:23,519 toast. Zach's must have been your favorite part of this episode. It was. 379 00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:26,920 I was so glad to see that they brought it back. Even though 380 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,599 the man can barely talk. What was up with his voice here? Yeah? 381 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,880 I feel like he must have lost his voice or something, you know. 382 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,279 Early on it seemed like half the first episode he could barely speak. 383 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,400 Yeah. I wondered if it was just from screaming at everybody during the qualifier. 384 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,920 But he doesn't seem like he would be that excited to be yelling at 385 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,640 everybody. Yeah, too much time with his head up his own ass, 386 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,680 that's what it was. I did. Like in this toast, THEO told 387 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,599 him, Hey, if you're gonna pop that cork, pop it up. 388 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,559 Yep, pop it. But what's weird? And then yeah, he started 389 00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:06,839 talking about being blind and when eye but they never connected those two facts. 390 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,960 It's like you have to kind of know what happens off the show to understand 391 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,680 what's happening there. I got my eyeshot out. Yeah, THEO between seasons 392 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:22,039 got his eyes shot out by a fucking champagne corp of the weirdest injury and 393 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,039 now he's like almost totally blind in one eye. And I heard that THEO 394 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,839 is not gonna be back on the Challenge because he has no death perception and 395 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,359 it's just he's sort of like a liability now, but here he is. 396 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,960 We also learned, guys, THEO is a dad now he's playing for his 397 00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:44,279 son. Always love it when challengers become dads. Gross, I love it. 398 00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:47,000 It makes me root for him super hard. So THEO, I'm rooting 399 00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:52,279 for you. And then we get you know, typical first night in the 400 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:55,759 house type of stuff. A lot of just sort of people kind of going 401 00:28:55,759 --> 00:28:59,960 off and talking alone and halfway strategizing halfway kind of getting to know each other. 402 00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:03,640 Are just lots of schmoozing. In order to save myself sometime I did 403 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,680 fast forward through some of this. Oh well, let me tell you what 404 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:14,240 you missed of important. Wes can speak Spanish poorly. Yeah, I did 405 00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:18,400 see that, so he does that. Okay. We see Casey talking to 406 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:25,839 Troy, and this is the first time that I've liked Casey in the whole, 407 00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:32,359 or even realize that she's there through any of this show. This is 408 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,079 the first time I liked her, and I think I decided. I think 409 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:38,440 I've figured out that i'd hate her in confessionals. I hate how she like 410 00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:45,200 emphasizes the wrong word in every sentence, and she like like stresses things that 411 00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,519 don't need it, And I don't know, it's really super weird how she 412 00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:52,200 does it. Maybe we don't mind her when Nanny and Bessie are around, 413 00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:56,519 Maybe that makes her less annoying. Maybe that's it too, But all of 414 00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:57,720 a sudden, it's like, oh, man, I would actually like talk 415 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:03,279 to her if she was around, instead of not even recognize who she is. 416 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:11,640 We get the Legend women talking with the the MVP women trying to give 417 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,720 them sort of guidance and advice on how to play this game, telling them 418 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,839 sort of who some of these people are if they're not familiar, like who 419 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,559 Jordan is, who Wes is, all that sort of stuff. This is 420 00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:26,319 where we also get that Nathan conversation that we were talking about Zach where he's 421 00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:32,480 talking about going anti USA. Um. Smart. We never see Nathan again 422 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,720 or hear any more about this anti USA alliance, but it's smart. In 423 00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:41,599 the moment, Carlin says Casey saying she had a good social game was laughable. 424 00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:48,079 But you know, people like Casey. Everybody seems to say say nice 425 00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:52,279 things about her. She's sort of the anti Amber. Yeah, I mean 426 00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:56,359 I don't think she's super excited television, but I mean I'm big brother. 427 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,240 That was the big thing, is you know, even though it was a 428 00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,880 very divided house, even the opposite alliance was like, we love Casey. 429 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,319 We want to keep Casey in this game. So I feel like, yeah, 430 00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:11,599 I feel she's very likable. She's just not citing television, right. 431 00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:17,160 Uh. This is also where we get Danny talking about his wife Kiki. 432 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Get that Kiki counter, and I get Zack's picture froze in a very hilarious 433 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,079 way that nobody will see Zach, you are having banded with issues. You 434 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,599 might want to turn your video off of your but it is quite It is 435 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,279 quite the it's not a flattering picture of you. We get this big board. 436 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:41,039 I always like it when they have like on display who the winners and 437 00:31:41,079 --> 00:31:45,400 who the losers and who the nominated people are. And this is like a 438 00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:48,440 huge one with their photos and everything. Pretty fancy schmancy. But that was 439 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:57,240 cool, So Carlin says, Joanna sound sounded like an idiot when she said 440 00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:00,440 she wanted a partner that wants to go all the way. No shit, 441 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:07,119 everybody wants that, you know. I think the biggest shock to me of 442 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,279 all this was when I find out that Claudia's forty five. Yeah she looks 443 00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:15,519 good for forty five. Yeah, which I was like mid forty five represent 444 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,759 and then we see how that turns out. Yeah, I didn't didn't make 445 00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:21,640 it too far. Hey, Durrell's got to be up there though, I 446 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,359 think he's close to that. Um okay, So this is where we learn 447 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,720 a little bit more about the format of this show. TJ says that for 448 00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:37,039 this first elimination only, it's only the MVPSUM and the way it works is 449 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,319 everybody in the house gets together, you kick the winners out of the room, 450 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,119 and you kick the losers out of the room, and everybody else that's 451 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,359 left in the room nominates two people. Out of those, the winner picks 452 00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:55,119 who the second person is an elimination, So it's the loser versus the person 453 00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:00,559 that the winner picks that the house nominates. Uh. Yes, thanks for 454 00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:05,960 making that way more complicated. Well, because sometimes it's real easy. Sometimes 455 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,640 it's like the loser of the daily and whoever the winner picks. This is 456 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,799 like a slightly more complicated UM, and it does. It's about to matter 457 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:19,079 for this first one. UM. And this is where we learned that Nathan 458 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:23,880 has been This is the quote from TJ medically separated from the game. Yeah, 459 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,200 what the fuck happened? Covid? Oh yep, So this season's a 460 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,960 little different, guys, because we can actually I can actually watch the show 461 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,519 and then hop on and read a little bit about the behind the scenes stuff 462 00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:42,640 and understand what happens, because yes, he had COVID. Um. I 463 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,240 don't know why they don't just tell us that. Though there have been several 464 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:47,519 people that have been kicked off for COVID and they come back, and why 465 00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:51,759 can't they just say this, they got COVID and they have to It's like 466 00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:58,279 a hip a thing just where wouldn't be subjected to it. But maybe they're, 467 00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:04,119 well, we don't want to tell them they're medical medical stuff on the 468 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,880 air. Yeah, you're probably right now that you're saying that. It's like 469 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:13,960 that's the obvious answer. Didn't even doll me um. But because Nathan is 470 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,039 not around anymore, Tristan lucks out. He does not have to go into 471 00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:23,840 elimination this round. Claudia will be the only person in this elimination. We 472 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,280 learned Toy is the luckiest man alive. Yeah, I'm not sure the luckiest 473 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:36,760 man alive qualifies here, but lucky. Wow. This is where we learned 474 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:43,760 that Claudia has asked to go against Kaz and conversation sort of shifts at this 475 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,039 moment, like the whole group is sort of talking about what Claudia wants, 476 00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:52,159 and then there starts to be some some people calling out the American team, 477 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,400 and this is when uh, Sarah just sort of steps up like, uh 478 00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:01,320 no, we're not doing that. U. She's So this is when Sarah 479 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,320 just sort of says like, well, what happens if there's a tie, 480 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,480 and then like the whole conversation immediately shifts to what happens if there's a tie. 481 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:14,039 We rarely find out what happens if there's a tie, But Sarah in 482 00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:19,760 particular seems pretty intent on making this a tie so that we can figure out 483 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:25,639 what happens in a tie. So she nominates Kaz and Kiki, thinking that 484 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,159 because of the two winners, they're each going to disagree on who to throw 485 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,320 in. It's gonna tie up. We're gonna figure out what happens in the 486 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,400 time, smart play. What do you guys think? Yeah, smart guys, 487 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:39,360 I don't know. Sarah. Yeah, No, I like this a 488 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,519 lot. And I first, you like the idea that they tried to do 489 00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:49,199 it in a way where they threw in one Australian and one UK or no 490 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,119 one Argentina. Was it to the UK so that way tie up the winners. 491 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:59,519 Yeah, yeah, it totally made sense. I mean I think it 492 00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:02,039 was a I think it was a really interesting plan. Use this very first 493 00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:05,280 one to figure out what happens if there's a tie. Usually people are so 494 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,920 afraid of ties, they just avoided all season. Um, and this time 495 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,159 they're making the new Bees sort of figured out, well, still doesn't it 496 00:36:13,199 --> 00:36:17,519 still doesn't matter, I know, So they don't. They don't learn anything 497 00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:22,840 of value here, that's for sure. Um. So the nominees are immediately 498 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,960 revealed to the winners out in the uh what it? What's TJ call Hall 499 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:34,119 of Fame or something stupid? Um So, the the sort of nominees are 500 00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:37,920 revealed to them, and they immediately disagree on who to throw in. So 501 00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:39,360 I think all of us are sort of realizing like, Okay, that's gonna 502 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,679 be a tie. We're gonna see what happens. Yeah. I was a 503 00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:46,280 bit disappointed. Uh. I don't know if while they were in that room 504 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,519 Claudia got to pitch her case to them, but I think I feel like 505 00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,719 you should have been able to and then like we should have seen that, 506 00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:00,760 because otherwise you just have them seeing together in silence. Yeah. Yeah, 507 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,079 they're just quiet looking at this TV screen waiting for something to pop up. 508 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,519 Right. Um, all right, so that's it, guys, we're into 509 00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:19,800 the elimination. Yes, this season it's called the Arena kind of uninspired, 510 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,880 and I feel like we've heard the the Arena too. Yeah, we've had 511 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,400 it before. Yeah, I believe that was last season. Wasn't it called 512 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,920 the Arena? Oh? Probably? Maybe all these world championships are you sitting? 513 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,800 Last season? It was called the Zone? There you go? How 514 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:44,719 could you forget? How could I? All right, so we're gonna get 515 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,280 these weird intros as people go into the elimination. They've we've seen these weird 516 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,679 intros before. These are particularly weird. Did you guys catch these, like 517 00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:55,800 these weird glamour shop poses that they're doing. They're sort of like posing and 518 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,639 just walking in a menacing way and stuff kind of weird. Well, isn't 519 00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:02,920 it better than the ones you hated where they're like in a dark hallway like 520 00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:07,639 punching, punching their fists and box in the air and ship Absolutely? My 521 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,320 notes actually say it's better than that Wild Animal shift from All Stars. Yeah, 522 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,280 where they're like scratching at walls and show up baring their teeth and Stuff's 523 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,320 like, come on, it's ridiculous. Yeah, And I just double checked. 524 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,480 The arena was all of the uh the country version, so USA, 525 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,960 Austria, they all did the arena for their elimination. Okay, all right, 526 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,519 I guess that makes sense if it's a theme. Yeah, the arena, 527 00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:34,559 I don't know. I just like it when they have weird, the 528 00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:40,039 weird names for this the goolog Yeah, I like it's so stupid. Um 529 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,199 okay, So yeah, obviously Zara and Grant disagree about who to throw in. 530 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,360 Uh TJ says something menacing, like, you guys really want to tie 531 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,239 it up. You guys really want me to decide who goes in, and 532 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,039 sure you don't want to change your boats? Yeah, all this stupid stuff, 533 00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:00,719 and ultimately they say, no, we are just going to disagree. 534 00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:07,639 We are tied, and Zara actually goes so far as to say that if 535 00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:08,920 it is a tie, if that means she has to go in and take 536 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:15,679 um Kiki's play or Kaza's place, she will do that. I don't know 537 00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:19,320 if we've ever seen a challenger be willing to do that. That's Zach did 538 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,760 Zach was that one time? Oh that's right, that was just because he 539 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,519 hated his partner though. Yeah, although they ain't tied up to do it. 540 00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:30,599 I mean we had the time that Nelson took Corey's spot. Yeah that's 541 00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:32,960 true. Yeah, so maybe it's happened before, and this is all hypothetical 542 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,320 because it didn't end up happening happening, So maybe I shouldn't give her any 543 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,199 credit for saying she would volunteer. She didn't actually have to do it. 544 00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:44,119 Yeah, so the way this one plays out, it does it's actually not 545 00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:46,760 a bad thing. Yeah, they're like, yeah, we'll just tie it 546 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,519 up and then my vote account so who cares? Yeah, so TJ says, 547 00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:55,199 well, it's a women's elimination, so Zara, your vote counts more, 548 00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,519 so you win. But the thing is, this will never happen again 549 00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:05,119 unless they split the teams again. There is not going to be a men's 550 00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:09,360 and women's elimination days. It's partners that are of opposite genders and the winners 551 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:15,320 are also opposite genders. So we didn't we learned nothing. Yeah, this 552 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:20,679 was a one off elimination, probably maybe a surprise later or something. But 553 00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:25,719 I bet TJ made up that rule on the spot. I didn't like that 554 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,280 rule. I felt like it let them off the hook too easily. I 555 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:35,079 agree. What should they have done? Though? Guys, I think that 556 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,679 ZARV had to go in and take her spot. Agree? Really? So 557 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:45,800 okay, so a time means the winners go into elimination, yeah okay, 558 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:52,719 or or let the let the person that's already in the arena choose from anybody, 559 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,679 including the winner. Oh I would like that. Who gets to go 560 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,639 in? I would really like that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so 561 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,679 there's better things to do, and we'll see. Hopefully they'll tie it up 562 00:41:04,679 --> 00:41:07,400 again. It's been a while since we've seen a meaningful tie like that, 563 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,119 so we'll see. All right, guys, so this is pole wrestle or 564 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,559 start this season off of the head, good old classic. West says that 565 00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:20,239 he's the one that made Poule wrestle famous. I think he's probably right, 566 00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:23,679 that one with him and Derek and the duel. Yeah. Yeah, I 567 00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:25,760 want to disagree with him, but then I was like, well, all 568 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,679 the Poule wrestles I can really remember involved him, so I guess he's right. 569 00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:32,119 Yeah, And that was a crazy Paul wrestle. He was doing some 570 00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:37,400 results in the air and shit like that. That was crazy. This one 571 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,840 was a little bit of a weird when the pole was quite a bit bigger 572 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:44,119 than I think we've ever seen. It was like a bow staff. It's 573 00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:49,119 very big. It's just easier to pull away from somebody. So maybe it 574 00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:54,639 either doesn't last as long or less injuries maybe, yeah, twisting arms and 575 00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:59,159 shit. Right, Yeah, it's hard to know. But they also changed 576 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,920 to to three wins. It's usually best of three. This is first of 577 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,440 three, so it's um, they changed up a little bit, just kind 578 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:10,719 of weird. Yeah, but this one's basically a blowout. Kiki wins three 579 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,239 for three. Um. Claudia puts up a good fight. She was just 580 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,559 Paul Russell's very much about how big you are, and Kiki was a couple 581 00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:23,840 inches taller and probably twenty five pounds heavier, and that's it. We also 582 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:29,119 had the great moment with Kiki in the second matchup doing the splits to push 583 00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:31,440 her off of it. That was pretty incredible. That was cool. She 584 00:42:31,519 --> 00:42:35,199 just needed like another INTR two to get it out of Claudia's hands and kicked 585 00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:37,880 her little foot up there and got it out, got it out. Kind 586 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:43,480 of cool for the most part. I like Kiki, but Jesus Christ, 587 00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:47,000 stop stop injecting shit into your lips. I know it, I know it. 588 00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:51,280 She doesn't even look human. I feel bad because I don't want to 589 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,559 like shame or anything, but I mean, I don't know. I just 590 00:42:53,559 --> 00:42:58,920 don't understand how people think that looks good? I guess I don't know. 591 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,800 Yeah, I agree, it's like I'm old, so who cares what I 592 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,400 have to say? Middle aged white man in Middle America. That's right. 593 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,360 Well, and you know, yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot 594 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,639 of reasons why this is none of our business and she should just be allowed 595 00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:15,519 to do whatever she wants if that helps her and makes her more confident. 596 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:17,639 She's willing to do that, or she's free to do that, obviously, 597 00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:22,239 but there's a point and kikiS at that point where it's sort of uncomfortable to 598 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,679 look at her. It's like it's like she doesn't look right. It's just 599 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:30,519 a little weird. Um. Sorry, I would probably like hanging out with 600 00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:34,920 her and stuff. But yeah, she seems very pleasant, but I was 601 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:40,719 worried she's gonna get hit and lip with that pole and the right coat the 602 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,719 whole place in Silicon right for botox? What are they putting lips lip fillers? 603 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,000 Um, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This episode ends with 604 00:43:53,079 --> 00:43:58,960 TJ saying, Hey, you're gonna pick pears based on the order that you 605 00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:02,280 finished in the qualifying round. And that is the end of the first episode 606 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:10,639 Doctuh but hey, good news, guys. We can't write it as the 607 00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:15,039 next episode. We get a second episode. I had no idea they're gonna 608 00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:17,719 drop two episodes. Did you guys know this? I did not, But 609 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:24,039 they did last last All Stars as well. Carlins is one of them to 610 00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:30,840 move on from the from the plastic surgery stuff. She's uh yeah, she's 611 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,360 taken over the female role on the show. Well you brought it up. 612 00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:38,559 I wasn't going to. I'm an idiot. Don't worry. I agree. 613 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:47,800 Uh so this episode opens, can't wait, let's go with uh the Yeah, 614 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,480 what are they? What do they call them? The global MVPs? 615 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,079 I call them MVPs and legends. I think that's kind of what they're going 616 00:44:54,119 --> 00:45:00,800 by. They get to pick, really, the only interesting picks are the 617 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,280 people who get picked first and the people who get picked last. Yeah, 618 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:09,840 who didn't get picked for zach Uh someone made a very poor decision and did 619 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:15,360 not select bananas. And who didn't get to get picked second either? Oh? 620 00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:21,239 Bananas? Once again, you know you can't you can't count on these 621 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,199 people to like have a good taste. Okay, who didn't get picked third? 622 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:29,800 Who didn't get picked third, I'm wondering, so let's be honest. 623 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:35,559 Out of these like our challenge fain, like know who these people are, 624 00:45:35,559 --> 00:45:40,960 Like, they didn't know any better, if they had any I think they 625 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,840 just didn't like him. They all had talked to him for a couple of 626 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,599 days in that house. They're just like, forget him. He's annoying. 627 00:45:49,559 --> 00:45:52,760 He was the he was the fourth guy, Zach, he was the fourth 628 00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:59,360 man that was picked stuff. He looked devastated. He looked depressed. You 629 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,679 probably looked just as depressed, Zach. Yeah, but Sarah, even Sarah 630 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:09,360 commented on how dejected he looked. Yeah, he's talking. He was talking 631 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:15,159 about like ten finals, seven wins, what he's been on like twenty three 632 00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:17,760 seasons or something. He is the most like, he's a very good challenge 633 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:23,000 competitor. He's the winningest challenger ever. But nobody wants to work with him. 634 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,800 And I think that's pretty telling. So let me let me look at 635 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,360 this in another direction. Um the first episode, we saw a confessional where 636 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:37,000 Johnny said, I want to be paired with either Sarah or Justine because I 637 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,719 think the USA is the strongest group. So did Bananas mentally manipulate all the 638 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:49,599 other, and he got exactly who wanted. Well, it's hard to argue 639 00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:54,320 with that. Maybe he is a psychic. It's a good point, Zach, 640 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:59,199 it's a good point. He's just the manipulator that West likes to pretend 641 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:04,239 he is. Well, West was the first male pick. Just gonna throw 642 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,880 that out there too. Czar picks wes O anybody else Grants pick john a 643 00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:15,239 Yeah, Johnny is a great pick. Yeah, back to back season winner. 644 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,480 I mean, come on, yeah, but she doesn't look the part. 645 00:47:17,519 --> 00:47:20,760 I mean really, if you're judging these women just based on how they 646 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,199 look, I don't think Johnny would be number one. This Grant must know 647 00:47:24,199 --> 00:47:29,079 what he's doing. Oh yeah, No. I'd look at the females and 648 00:47:29,159 --> 00:47:32,840 I was like, okay, like Casey is obviously physically like above everyone else, 649 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,559 So like I thought she was the obvious number one pick Casey. Yeah, 650 00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:42,800 yeah she was. She was the second woman. She was. I 651 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,639 felt like physically she's, you know, probably the best woman. And although 652 00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:51,039 she's you know, not gonna be like the person leading the alliance charge as 653 00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:52,639 we're saying earlier, she's someone that just seems to get along with everyone and 654 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,599 just kind of floats along and no one really goes after her, right, 655 00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:02,599 Yeah, and she's she's teamed with Ben, so she's on the American team. 656 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,000 And I do think the American the team USA just has I mean, 657 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,719 I just think they're stacked. I think they're gonna start picking off these other 658 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,000 teams one by one. Yeah. At the beginning of the second episode, 659 00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:15,360 you know, we actually had an intro video, like, you know, 660 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,800 showing the entire cast, and that's what I think has as luck as each 661 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,199 team went by, I'm like, oh, I feel like America is like 662 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,719 way more stacked than any of the others. Yeah, it certainly seems that 663 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:34,800 way. Yeah for sure. Who gets picked last? Nellie and Kelly Anne. 664 00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:37,599 Oh my, poor Nellie. But Nellie's got a really good attitude about 665 00:48:37,639 --> 00:48:42,480 it. He's just like, hey, listen, these are all challenge legends. 666 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,599 I haven't one yet. I get it. I get why they're picking 667 00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:49,880 all these other people that have one. Because also THEO was one of the 668 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,920 last picked, and that surprised me too. He's a huge, hulking brute 669 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,159 of a man and he was second to last. But he also has on 670 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,079 one. People know about his eye situation. They don't want them. That 671 00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:06,320 could be part, and I think that they went after Champs um first because 672 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,360 yeah, THEO and Nellie are the two non champs and there were the two 673 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:17,039 last picked on the men's side. Uh all right, So we get back 674 00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:22,800 to the house. Ellie and WHOI I pronounce her name? Who who? 675 00:49:23,679 --> 00:49:30,000 WHOI who? Who? Who? Who? He? You're leaving off of 676 00:49:30,039 --> 00:49:37,480 who who? Who? What? I don't know. Uh, they're talking. 677 00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:40,800 They're trying to strategize. Nelson's trying, I don't know, probably trying 678 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:46,840 to hit on her like he usually does. Probably he just gets that intense 679 00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:54,039 serious voice, you know, Yeah, like that Nellie Banana's Justine are talking. 680 00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:00,559 Um. Johnny keeps talking about how well he's always worried because he's always 681 00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:04,400 public enemy number one when he comes into the house. Ye, he likes 682 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,079 that Justine picked him. And then Justine runs down all of her athletic accomplishments 683 00:50:08,119 --> 00:50:12,679 like I was on track, I did this, I did that, yep. 684 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:16,440 Dan. Danny has to come in and be like, is that my 685 00:50:16,519 --> 00:50:21,400 wine? I love Danny and she's like, oh yeah, I was gonna 686 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,119 take a sip and I just walked away with it and it was totally empty. 687 00:50:25,079 --> 00:50:28,639 Oh God, every time I see Danny on the screen. I just 688 00:50:28,679 --> 00:50:30,639 like him more. I like this exchange. I just like everything about Danny. 689 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:37,559 Yeah, Danny's always great. Yeah. Uh. Joanna and Casey, 690 00:50:38,199 --> 00:50:44,519 Uh, why do you keep calling her Joanna? John Ay? John Ay? 691 00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:47,400 God damn it. I don't know because I had a stroke earlier in 692 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:52,000 the day and I don't remember how to say stuff. Apparently like who who 693 00:50:52,079 --> 00:50:58,360 he? Uh? John Ay and Casey are talking game. Uh. They're 694 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,599 talking about the relationships in the house. John A is worried about Kelly Anne 695 00:51:02,599 --> 00:51:07,880 and her not vibing after last season of Was It All Stars? They were 696 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:14,400 on together? Right, Um, Yeah, it looks like Kelly Anne is 697 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,800 trying to sort of latch onto um John A for some support in this game, 698 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,239 for a little bit of an alliance situation, and John Ay is not 699 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:29,159 interested in this. But John A is also not just telling Kelly In that 700 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:36,480 as Kellyan would flip out, no friend of the show, Kelly In, 701 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,880 I love you Kellyan. Uh. And that cuts to Sarah and Kelly Anne 702 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,440 sitting and have a conversation and she's going on about how Kelly has going on 703 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:52,079 about how annoyed she wasn't she was picked last Yeah, that makes sense too. 704 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:58,000 She's she used the smallest woman she hasn't won. I get why she 705 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:06,199 wasn't picked. Yeah. Uh. They cut to West giving notation to Tzara 706 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,079 and her writing it down in her notebook. This really rubbed me the wrong 707 00:52:09,079 --> 00:52:13,559 way. And I like West, but I know that West said, like 708 00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:15,880 Czara, get a notepad. Let me let me tell you this game is 709 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,599 played like a school teacher. Something so condescending. It's like, West, 710 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:29,280 don't make the woman take notes. It's embarrassing, it's ridiculous by un carlin. 711 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:36,599 Uh he first rule is ignore, ignore how everybody else is working out. 712 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,960 Just do your own thing and don't worry about it. Yep, that 713 00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:49,639 West, because these rules are weird. Please please tell me you have the 714 00:52:49,639 --> 00:52:54,119 workout montage in your notes. Next note is morning montages. Nice out. 715 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:59,119 Oh I was just really worried we wouldn't get a workout montage this season. 716 00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:05,199 First people they show is Czar and West like running around outside. I hate 717 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,519 these montages. I hate them there. They do not belong on this show. 718 00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:13,800 They're on everyone. Get these things out of here. They take up 719 00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:17,599 a bounts of time for no reason. Yeah, and just pushes us right 720 00:53:17,639 --> 00:53:30,920 into the challenge. Uh. So we see all the concessance walking through the 721 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:35,519 desert and I'm like, did they just drop them off of the desert challenge? 722 00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:42,880 Very dramatic. Uh. And then they're all up on the podium and 723 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,239 of course here comes TJ. TJ has to enter and something cool. It's 724 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:52,840 like a little little tiny truck with like six whel side. Ye oh, 725 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,639 that's DJ Fors. Everybody cheers and he gets out. He's like, hello, 726 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,840 can you imagine being TJ? This guy pulls up in like a tank 727 00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:08,239 sometimes sometimes like a monster truck. He pulls up to these challenges and then 728 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:14,199 everybody cheers for him. That's gotta be such like such a good thing for 729 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:19,599 your self esteem. Just think about that, driving a chink through the desert 730 00:54:19,639 --> 00:54:21,920 and then you pop out of the top and everybody starts cheering for you. 731 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,400 How do you not just feel like the biggest badass in the world. Right, 732 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,239 that's such a cool thing. Like I'm cool, I know, I'm 733 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,280 cool. Yeah, someday we'll see someday that'll be me and you'll be there 734 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:37,679 clapping for me as I as I exert my tank. Yeah. Um, 735 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:44,119 So we're gonna be playing a game called chain game. So the contestants are 736 00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:47,119 going to run up to like this shipwreck. There's gonna be different colored chains 737 00:54:47,199 --> 00:54:52,119 laying there in the sand. Colors of the chains correspond to different puzzles. 738 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:58,639 The other thing is each chain weighs seven hundred pounds, so then they give 739 00:54:58,679 --> 00:55:05,239 it to you, uh, kilograms or whatever for the rest of the world 740 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,400 that uses the metric system unlike the United States, right uh. And then 741 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:14,119 you have to drag your chain to the puzzle and use it to solve it. 742 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:21,039 And the puzzles that are closer to the shipwreck are more difficult to solve, 743 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,800 so you have to use what does he say? Decide if you're going 744 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,159 to use your brawn or your brain, which one's going to work better for 745 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:37,199 you? Uh. And then once you finish your puzzle, you gotta run 746 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:42,280 back and ring the bell. Only only the first team to finish is safe. 747 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:50,000 Last team to finish goes directly into the arena. Yep um. I 748 00:55:50,039 --> 00:55:52,800 don't know if there's much to really talk about about. What team does what? 749 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,559 They all grab chains, they run to a puzzle, some people do 750 00:55:58,639 --> 00:56:05,119 better than others, and then Grant and John a he win Yeah, first 751 00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:09,280 ones. But Jordan kas are like literally right behind them like it was. 752 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,400 It was a race, yeah, to get to the bell, and that 753 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,639 was kind of fun to see. That was really cool. And I wasn't 754 00:56:15,679 --> 00:56:19,199 sure who to root for because I loved john A and I was definitely rooting 755 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,679 for her, but I love Jordan too. No, so this is a 756 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,840 tough one for me. But I did like at the end, did you 757 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,199 catch it? Wolfee? Jordan was standing there like trying to give him a 758 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,039 high five, and they both just completely ignored him, and so he gave 759 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:38,119 giving himself a high five in the background. It was yeah, self five. 760 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,199 Um. The only other note that I have during this that I thought 761 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,920 was important is that there was a confessional between Kaz and Jordan, and Kaz 762 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:52,320 says that she's worried because she's already been nominated for elimination, so she's worried 763 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,480 that she's just gonna keep getting nominated over and over again. And Jordan just 764 00:56:55,519 --> 00:57:00,760 has a really worried look at his face and he's like, uh, yeah, 765 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,800 that's what's gonna happening to be worried about. Yep. So I think 766 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,400 what a win was very important for Jordan here. Um So the fact that 767 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:12,800 he missed it by seconds. It's probably probably doesn't leave him in a good, 768 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,920 good mood. Get out of here. Cat is bugging the shit out 769 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:22,719 of me. I saw him up there. Um, he really sat on 770 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,960 my keyboard and scrolled through my notes, so I have to figure out where 771 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:30,000 I was. Uh and uh turns out who he and Nelson are last, 772 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:38,239 Yeah, directly into the arena they are. But Tristan was again super struggling 773 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:44,400 here. He is obviously really shitty at puzzles. A puzzle guy. Yeah, 774 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:49,639 I mean he won his season, right, Zach, you might be 775 00:57:49,639 --> 00:57:55,760 the only one that knows this. Did Tristan win his season? Um? 776 00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,519 All right, Zack doesn't know yet, Fine, you don't have to know. 777 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,519 Yeah, good, I think he did, Jack because they were talking 778 00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:07,239 about how he's kind of like did nothing all season. Then he came alive 779 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:12,039 in the final and won it. Okay, Well, he is pure shit 780 00:58:12,119 --> 00:58:15,199 at puzzles. I mean I've only seen him do too, but it was 781 00:58:15,239 --> 00:58:17,639 pathetic at both and we knew kelly In's not gonna be good at this one, 782 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,360 so they just sort of they're struggling, but they do pull it out 783 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,639 Nellie, And again Nellie does not surprise me. He couldn't do this. 784 00:58:25,719 --> 00:58:30,840 He's the worst puzzle guy I think we've ever seen on the show. Doesn't 785 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:38,760 surprise me he didn't do one. Yeah. Uh So it's gonna be Whohoi 786 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:43,239 and Nelson going in, so they have to dominate somebody else. We get 787 00:58:43,239 --> 00:58:45,559 back to the house, everybody's already under the assumption like they're gonna try to 788 00:58:45,599 --> 00:58:52,440 throw the other Argentinian teams in. Yep, keep up with the strategy they 789 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:57,800 were gonna do last last episode, and they're like, oh, just just 790 00:58:58,239 --> 00:59:00,599 make the partners on the teams fight each other. Than that whittles him down, 791 00:59:01,079 --> 00:59:09,480 yep. Jody is that I'm a big fan of Benja. Yeah, 792 00:59:09,559 --> 00:59:14,239 yeah, And I like Jody a lot. It's nice to see her again. 793 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:15,880 We haven't in other than that one All Stars appearance. He hasn't been 794 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:20,679 on the show in like fifteen years, so it's nice to see her again. 795 00:59:20,679 --> 00:59:22,320 So I hope that they can last a little longer. I like both 796 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:27,960 of them a lot. Uh So, Jody and West are chatting and West 797 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,320 points out that both of their teams have like less people than the other teams. 798 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,159 Um, and that seems like he's He's like, well, who else 799 00:59:39,159 --> 00:59:45,519 should we should we nominate? Jody's thrown out Kelly Ann's name. He kind 800 00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:47,199 of brings up that they used to be in a relationship back in the day, 801 00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:52,519 and he doesn't know if he wants to do that to her. He 802 00:59:52,599 --> 00:59:58,119 struggles with it for about five seconds. It seems like we get a nice, 803 00:59:58,719 --> 01:00:02,400 nice flashback to the roof when their relationship was really impacted the game. 804 01:00:04,239 --> 01:00:07,119 So um, and I don't know how it ended, did it, Zach? 805 01:00:07,159 --> 01:00:08,719 You might did that? Did their relationship end on good terms? Are 806 01:00:08,719 --> 01:00:14,559 they still cool? West? And Killian? I feel like I remember that 807 01:00:14,639 --> 01:00:16,199 they weren't cool at the time of the breakup, but it seems like they've 808 01:00:16,239 --> 01:00:21,760 gotten over and since then. Yeah, yeah, they seem cool now, 809 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:29,559 although not that cool, not cool enough for West to savor. Spoiler um, 810 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:37,679 so Olivia says West back with the icy heart. So Kelly ends up 811 01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:42,039 talking with some of the other women about you know, well, I hope 812 01:00:42,039 --> 01:00:45,239 they don't throw me in. Who should we who else should we nominate? 813 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,679 And she's like, honestly, we should throw and start throwing in people from 814 01:00:47,719 --> 01:00:52,920 the USA team because you know, they got they got a really strong team. 815 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,639 And someone literally points as like, uh, toris teamed up with somebody 816 01:00:55,639 --> 01:00:59,920 from the USA team. Camera pans over to Tori said, up the beard, 817 01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:02,400 just like with her mouth open, like what the fuck? Yeah, 818 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:07,199 and Kelly An tries to backtrack it but gets out of the back here. 819 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:12,119 That's a bad move, Kelly, it was a horrible move. Maybe that 820 01:01:12,239 --> 01:01:15,360 probably signed your death warrant to be honest. Yeah. Who The rest of 821 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:16,760 the episode is about that. Yeah, it's about it all right. Well, 822 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:22,400 now Kelly Ann's gonna go yep, did she? Uh? She starts 823 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,159 wandering around the house, is trying to talk to the other USA people, 824 01:01:25,239 --> 01:01:30,840 and she talks to us about it, and just everybody seems annoyed. Yeah, 825 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,000 Johnny keeps telling her, He's like, I don't even talk to my 826 01:01:32,039 --> 01:01:36,039 partner about it yet. Yeah, I've talked to you more about it, 827 01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:38,800 to you than I have to my own partner. Everybody is annoyed at Kelly 828 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,159 Ann, and like, I understand why. I can you imagine living in 829 01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:45,599 a house with like it's uncomfortable to watch that for five minutes on TV? 830 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,960 Can you imagine like being in the room for you know, this, like 831 01:01:50,119 --> 01:01:57,159 as hours long? You know it would drive me insane? Yeah? Uh 832 01:01:57,199 --> 01:02:00,360 So then of course Tory has to go and tell Danny and say Era and 833 01:02:01,159 --> 01:02:07,239 shockingly, Sarah gets mad someone so is the name of someone of my lions? 834 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,000 They gotta go? Yeah, she pulls out a survivor phrase. If 835 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,320 you're not with me, you're against me. That's them. Maybe that'sn't survive 836 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:22,920 it a lot. She was going back to her roots. Absolutely. Uh, 837 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:31,199 And that kind of takes us into the nominations super weird like nomination situation. 838 01:02:31,239 --> 01:02:35,559 They're just around a dining room table. What is this? Yeah? 839 01:02:35,639 --> 01:02:39,480 Yeah, when it was just the MVPs, it was like like a little 840 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:45,360 small auditorium type thing. Yeah. Yeah, I loved it the auditorium and 841 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,440 I was so disappointed and go back to it. But I guess with that 842 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,079 many people, they probably can't fit. Um. I hope as they whittle 843 01:02:52,159 --> 01:02:55,960 people down and there's less people they go back to that. Yeah. I 844 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,920 do too. I feel like the dining room table is not set up for 845 01:03:00,199 --> 01:03:01,760 drama. I mean people started yelling, but it was like you couldn't even 846 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:06,039 get a picture of everybody. They're all too spread apart and weirdly placed. 847 01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:13,920 So Yes immediately takes the lead. He says, the teams that were sort 848 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:21,280 of like towards the bottom should be nominated. He immediately just goes for uh 849 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,559 kill Yann and Tristan and then, uh, what's what's the dude's damn dude, 850 01:03:25,559 --> 01:03:30,079 I feel like eight. I feel like eight people said his name and 851 01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:36,440 every single person said it differently. So Benja, Benja, Benji, BENNI 852 01:03:36,599 --> 01:03:40,760 like, I feel like everybody said it differently. His actual name is Benjamin, 853 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:47,159 but he goes by Benjama, okay, ben Benja right, there's no 854 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:53,559 m in there. Benja. Yeah, Benja had like Ninja okay, okay, 855 01:03:53,639 --> 01:03:57,800 I like that. That's where we're going with them, Benja yeah, 856 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,960 but ben but yeah, this is full of shit. West is right. 857 01:04:01,079 --> 01:04:04,000 I don't like yes anymore. That guy's full of shit by saying it's all 858 01:04:04,039 --> 01:04:06,280 about like, oh, it's all how you placed, and you know, 859 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:11,559 they could have vote for people that did well. Uh, Jody and Benja 860 01:04:11,719 --> 01:04:15,280 got fifth place. They did, They did really well. If it was 861 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,800 really a performance thing, it should have been Nellie and um okay who who 862 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:24,880 he um? So he's just full of shit. Why why did he say 863 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,519 this is a performance thing and then name the fifth place team? And why 864 01:04:27,519 --> 01:04:30,159 did nobody push back on this, well, Nellie, and who who we 865 01:04:30,199 --> 01:04:33,440 are already in? Tim? Oh? Well, yeah, okay, you're 866 01:04:33,519 --> 01:04:40,599 right. Whoever the whoever the next one was? Then wasn't that Tristan Kelly 867 01:04:40,639 --> 01:04:44,639 Ann? Let me see, Yes, it must have been. Yeah, 868 01:04:44,679 --> 01:04:47,440 it must have been Tristan and Kelly Ann. And then Sarah and THEO would 869 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,800 have been would have been the next ones, and then Troy and Amber and 870 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:57,800 then Emily and yes, wait, Jody beat yes? Are you? I 871 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,719 didn't mean this together? Jody beat yes by quite a few places, because 872 01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,000 then it's Nien Rodrigo, and then it's Kiki and Durrell, and then it's 873 01:05:04,199 --> 01:05:11,159 Jody and Benja. So she she kicked his ass on that, and nobody's 874 01:05:11,159 --> 01:05:15,199 gonna call this out. Yep, I'm very frustrated. Yes, is just 875 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,559 I don't know, I don't think I think it's it's just an excuse to 876 01:05:18,559 --> 01:05:25,079 get another Argentinian team thrown in there. Sure, but then say that totally. 877 01:05:25,159 --> 01:05:27,440 I mean, I don't mind that being a game move, that's fine, 878 01:05:27,719 --> 01:05:30,280 just say just say it and own it. It drives me nuts, 879 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,880 this, yes, especially for Yes who tries to act like he plays like 880 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:38,239 honorably and it's all about competition. Blah blah blah. Yeah, that's exactly 881 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,920 it. I think he said that to make it seem like this is an 882 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:45,280 honorable competition thing, but it was not that that's had other motivations and he's 883 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,280 a liar. Sorry, Yes, I'm off the yes train. Oh I'm 884 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,760 done. I'm done with Yes, done with Yes, Yep, done, 885 01:05:55,679 --> 01:05:58,880 I've never been on the train. Oh. See, Zach knows, Zach 886 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,920 knows better, Zack knew better and all the time. Yeah, I should 887 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:05,119 ask you, Zack, if only he knew better about Bananas. But there's 888 01:06:05,119 --> 01:06:10,880 still time, Zach. So they go through the voting. Uh, nothing 889 01:06:11,039 --> 01:06:13,599 really crazy. Some people look, well, I'm not voting for that person. 890 01:06:14,119 --> 01:06:18,360 But specifically, Jordan does not vote for one of the teams, and 891 01:06:18,519 --> 01:06:23,320 Bananas of course, has to call out. He's like, well, rookie 892 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:27,599 players, that is what we call. He burn vote Yep, Jordan starts 893 01:06:27,679 --> 01:06:33,440 mockingly telling him to shut up. Yeah, it's see Jordan have a little 894 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,039 bit of a sense of humor. I like seeing them the human side of 895 01:06:36,119 --> 01:06:43,119 Jordan. Yeah, and then uh gets down to it. West votes for 896 01:06:43,199 --> 01:06:47,400 Kelly and to go in, and then cut to Kelly Ann's confessional where she's 897 01:06:47,719 --> 01:06:50,199 kind of upset about it. Even though they dated a long time ago, 898 01:06:50,239 --> 01:06:55,519 she still feels it kind of hurts. I think she's generally feeling betrayed that 899 01:06:55,559 --> 01:06:59,000 the people that she thought would have her back, John A and Wes and 900 01:06:59,239 --> 01:07:00,119 you know, some of these people that she's been close to for a long 901 01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:05,360 time really just do not have it at all. Some, even like John 902 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:11,280 Ay, seems like she actively wants Kelly and gone. When they do get 903 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,440 to Kelly And to vote, she does point out that people really shouldn't want 904 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,960 the strongest people still here, which is a good point. But I don't 905 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,360 think it's gonna work for her. It's not, but it's a good point 906 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:30,440 and they should be calling that out in my opinion. So, yeah, 907 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:38,480 the two teams, it's gonna be Jody and Benja and Kelly Anna Tristan ye. 908 01:07:38,599 --> 01:07:43,280 So after the vote, but Nana's of course has to give West shit 909 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:48,280 about voting for Kelly Ann. And uh, he's wondering if she said anything 910 01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:53,079 about it, said Na, not that I've heard so far. Yep. 911 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,719 I like this conversation too. This is just very like dude bro giving each 912 01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:01,519 other shit, fucking around conversation. I was into this because obviously Banan's is 913 01:08:01,559 --> 01:08:10,119 a good guy. He would never do that to an app right uh. 914 01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:15,479 And then cut to the most uncomfortable part of the episode where putting on makeup 915 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,439 and I'm sure that is so uncomfortable to me. Tim could not look at 916 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,920 the street. That's what you're talking about, right that. That was the 917 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:27,079 most uncomfortable scene because of that, because she's put uplying makeup. She's putting 918 01:08:27,119 --> 01:08:29,239 makeup on, and I was like, Tim's gonna hate this. It was 919 01:08:29,239 --> 01:08:31,800 a little too like intimate of a moment to be on television. Yeah, 920 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:36,279 I'm with you, very uncomfortable. Johnny comes in and Kelly Anne's like, 921 01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:43,279 oh, I hope you don't choose me tomorrow. Then cut to confessionals, 922 01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:45,199 where Johnny is like, I don't know what I'm doing, but Jesus Christ, 923 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:50,680 well it's clear what Johnny's doing. She's looking for Kelly Inn to say 924 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:55,920 it's okay. Yeah. I think she desperately wants Kelly In to say, 925 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,279 like, I understand you have to throw me, and I get it. 926 01:08:59,199 --> 01:09:03,119 Kelly An is really not going to say that. My favorite part of the 927 01:09:03,119 --> 01:09:05,880 conversation was when john a said, well, what would you do if you 928 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:11,439 were me and Kelly Ann said I would not put you in. It's like, 929 01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:15,680 of course, that's how that conversation with Kelly like what did you or 930 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,560 John A like, what did you think she was gonna say to that? 931 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:24,479 I don't know. I would throw Jody in, That's what I would do. 932 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:30,479 Yeah, very weird, very weird, very uncomfortable conversation between those two. 933 01:09:31,399 --> 01:09:34,119 Um, I don't know, they kind of go back and forth. 934 01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:41,039 That's sort of what we end on No Elimination this episode boom. Yeah, 935 01:09:41,079 --> 01:09:45,119 I was not a fan of the cliffhanger. Yeah, so we're gonna to 936 01:09:45,119 --> 01:09:48,920 wait till next episode see the elimination and if they start doing it when they 937 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:53,520 cut it off at the end of every episode No Elimination, I'm gonna be 938 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,239 pissed. I don't think they will. I think these are just two of 939 01:09:56,279 --> 01:10:00,520 the oddball episodes. Now we're gonna get in the rail the Real Formula Challenge. 940 01:10:01,319 --> 01:10:06,520 Joker feels that John A is getting a touch of naughty itis. Oh, 941 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:11,680 just feeling a little entitled. Is that what you mean, Joker? 942 01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:18,920 It's rustling expecting your friends to carry you to the final That's it for this 943 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:24,600 episode.

Then, how 968 01:12:16,159 --> 01:12:20,399 about that. I don't care. I'm trying to. I'm trying to figure 969 01:12:20,399 --> 01:12:25,000 this out. I think, Uh, hang on, hang on, there's 970 01:12:25,039 --> 01:12:28,680 fifty two names that I just read. Oh my god, my computer will 971 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,880 not even respond. Now, don't worry about it. We'll figure it out 972 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,960 next week. Yeah. Maybe I might have got bonus shoutouts. I might 973 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,039 have just thanked people that didn't deserve to be thanked. Can you imagine that? 974 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:44,239 Oh horrible? Uh yeah, we talked about we're gonna be restructuring some 975 01:12:44,279 --> 01:12:46,399 stuff. I think the the ten dollar tier is going away, But the 976 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:50,279 stuff we'd like for the ten dollar tier is moving to the five dollar tiers, 977 01:12:50,279 --> 01:12:53,319 so you're gonna be able to get a cheaper. Yeah, we'll just 978 01:12:53,359 --> 01:12:56,199 give it cheap, cheaper for everybody. Yeah, so if everybody's in the 979 01:12:56,199 --> 01:12:59,119 ten dollar tier moved down to the five dollar tier, we give you permission. 980 01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:02,600 Yes, but then yeah, we're gonna start doing those monthly things too, 981 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,439 but we'll just don't put it out to everybody, all the five dollar 982 01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:10,119 people. U be fun. We'll do watch alongs Q and as maybe another 983 01:13:10,119 --> 01:13:12,000 trivia night. I don't know. We'll have fun. We'll do fun. 984 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,319 We'll have fun. Stuff gonna be fun. Um. And then I think 985 01:13:15,359 --> 01:13:19,119 we talked about the video part of it's going away because nobody really watches it. 986 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,760 Nobody really watches it, and it's pain in the ass to do it 987 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:30,920 and forget it. So you just have to deal with our soultry voices that 988 01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:34,000 it's not a bad thing. We'll be I guess not. I hate my 989 01:13:34,119 --> 01:13:39,439 voice though it was. I guessed it on the Couch Pilots podcast, which 990 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:43,960 you should go over Couchpilots podcast dot com. And I listened to the episode. 991 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,640 I just guessed it on. I listened at the beginning of it. 992 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,279 I'm like, oh, I fucking hate it. I gotta listen to it. 993 01:13:49,279 --> 01:13:53,000 It's always fun. We're on the couch Pots show. I hate my 994 01:13:53,079 --> 01:13:59,000 voice though. Uh. Joker wants to know it, Am I the asshole? 995 01:13:59,039 --> 01:14:01,720 Because I don't give two it's about Jenna Ortega. Yeah, it seems 996 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:06,720 that seems like a comment like from left field. I don't. I don't 997 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:10,840 know. He's not going to enjoy the screen movie apparently. I don't know 998 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:15,319 if you're an asshole, Joker, but that is a bad take. My 999 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,600 daughter loves Jenna Ortega. I feel like she's too young for me to like 1000 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:24,000 her. Yeah, you know, didn't she like seventeen or some shit? 1001 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:29,479 She's of age? Yeah, I mean she's still way too young. It 1002 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,279 would be annoying to like date her. But I'm not even talking to I'm 1003 01:14:32,279 --> 01:14:34,640 just like to be a fan, you know, like a forty three year 1004 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,800 old man being a fan of a teenage girl in movies. Like, I 1005 01:14:39,039 --> 01:14:41,840 know, I'm not comfortable with that. You could be a fan of her, 1006 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,479 you don't have to be obsessed with her. I can't be a fan 1007 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:50,039 of her, dude, all right, I can't do it. I'll steak 1008 01:14:50,039 --> 01:14:56,800 with a yeah it works. Yeah. Um do we interviews to him? 1009 01:14:57,119 --> 01:15:01,720 Nope, he's actively any social med any stuff. Not really. I just 1010 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:09,560 started. Um, nothing major going on yet. It's only been like twelve 1011 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:15,239 hours since the episode one up. Uh, Olivia loves Jenna Ortega, so 1012 01:15:15,399 --> 01:15:19,960 suck it, joker. Joker says, give me the girls of Euphoria. 1013 01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:27,880 Dirty, old man. I never watched that show. I have a crush 1014 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:31,239 on Zindaya. So the girl from the first season of White Lotus, isn't 1015 01:15:31,239 --> 01:15:42,520 it It's just naked in it? So o uh. Season winner picks, 1016 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,279 right, we do have to do this? Has anybody spoiled? Zach? 1017 01:15:45,359 --> 01:15:48,119 You're You're the most spoilered guy. I am not spoiled this season. You're 1018 01:15:48,119 --> 01:15:53,239 not. Well. I know who you're I know who you're gonna pick for 1019 01:15:53,279 --> 01:15:57,600 your season winner, Zach, don't even bother. I don't think you do. 1020 01:15:58,279 --> 01:16:01,439 No. All right, who is it? Uh? He's voting for 1021 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,840 Wes. No, I'm going for Danny. Okay, that's just who. 1022 01:16:06,279 --> 01:16:10,199 That's who you think is gonna I feel like, just you know, of 1023 01:16:10,399 --> 01:16:16,000 coming from the the pro sports background, I just feel like I feel like 1024 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,520 in a purely physical competition. I guess mental too, But like the fact 1025 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:24,640 you don't vote anyone out like I'm survivor. I feel like he's a favorite 1026 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:30,000 to win just because of his background. Uh. Women will probably go with 1027 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,079 Emily because she was an Olympian. Well, wouldn't it have to do Danny's 1028 01:16:33,119 --> 01:16:35,880 partner. I guess it wouldn't have to be good since part I even know. 1029 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,600 Yeah, okay, yeah, I feel even better. Get Tory is 1030 01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:45,319 good? All right, So you're going Danny Tory. I don't even fucking 1031 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:50,760 know. Um, I feel like I always say Jordan whenever anybody asks, 1032 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,600 and Jordan's on the season, so I'm gonna stick with that. I'm gonna 1033 01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:59,960 go kaz In Jordan. Uh, let's go with Weston Zara just because why 1034 01:17:00,119 --> 01:17:04,119 not? Good? Nobody guess. I have no real pick. There's nobody 1035 01:17:04,159 --> 01:17:08,520 I'm seeing like, oh, they're gonna tear everybody up, Like yeah, 1036 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,079 this early in the season, it is really just throwing a dart, like 1037 01:17:11,199 --> 01:17:15,199 there's no way we could possibly know. Just it's just a guess. Uh. 1038 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:20,079 Bryan says there's about six teams that feel like they could win. Yeah, 1039 01:17:20,079 --> 01:17:23,880 this is a stacked cast. I mean by taking like the winners of 1040 01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:30,880 other seasons and stuff. This is a tremendously stacked cast um. So I 1041 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,399 hope Jody sticks around for a long time. I don't think Jody's gonna win, 1042 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,720 but I like Jody. We didn't get enough for her in her All 1043 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,960 Stars appearance. It's really nice to see her back. I hope she lasts 1044 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:45,399 for a long time. Yeah, uh, well, anything else? No, 1045 01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,279 should we wrap this puppy up? Let's wrap it up? All right? 1046 01:17:49,319 --> 01:17:53,880 Well?
