Everybody challenge the podcast Oliver. The challenge is usually Brian sitting across the internet.
For me is big Uncle Sweet two, and in the box next to
him, Zachy Bananas joined by Olivia Oh Virtual Olivia Virtual Olivia, my Alaska
queen representing my state. Are you video patrons, you'll know what he's talking
about. Yes, Zach, you can chime in as Olivia just you'd have
talking at high pitched voice. Here's my nose still straight? There was perfect,
perfect, I couldn't tell beautiful. However two challengepot dot com joined the
Facebook group. You can also join on Patreon. Like I said, you
can watch our video that we get uploaded whenever we do it remotely because Tim's
computer is not working properly right now. Yeah, sorry, that's fine,
and all kinds of other fun stuff. Uh. Pre show, we're talking
about how fucking cold it's being and how we hate people who live in Florida.
And Amanda in the chat room chimed in, I'm the listener in Florida
with seventy five degrees. Oh, son of a bitch, she says,
don't hate me too much. I just got here. Boter Banner ban hammermer
you ready jump into it. Tim, Oh boy, am i? This
is episode seventeen, Gentlemen seventeen, two to go plus A plus a reunion.
The season will never end. This is called Writers on the Storm.
And of course we start back at the house with Banani coming back from their
big elimination win and everybody's selling branding having made it to the final. This
is all that self congratulatory stuff we see about every season, where they're cheersing
and saying how everybody deserves it and I couldn't pick a better group of people
to run a final with, and all that stuff. Johnny has to give
a toast, has to Yeah, he missed the opening toast because he came
into this game late. Zach, how do you feel about Bananas joining the
game late and still making the final? Seems kind of unfair. I mean,
I feel like, you know, it's kind of like in sports,
a lot of times, the number one seed the best team to get a
first round by because it's like, you're so amazing and great, you deserve
special treatment. Bananas is that way. He deserves the first round by.
Okay, that's fine, fair enough. Speaking of Bananas, he did,
of course he can't. He can't let one season go without making a reference
to the time he stole the money from Sarah Jesus Christ, so he brings
that up again. What if this final is one of those take the money
finals? What do you guys think, is he taking the money from Nanny?
No? I don't think so either. Probably not? Yeah, probably
not. Um all right, everybody says this is a niece's first final,
and how long did you guys catch how long it had been since a niece
has made a final? Thirteen years? Thirteen fucking years. There's people that
are watching the show now that weren't even born when a Nissa last made to
final. Okay, I think what was I doing thirteen years ago? I
was? I was twenty joining the Mormon church when they leaved those last there,
Oh you converted? I am so, So maybe is like a Nissa
the cause of my conversion? I mean she certainly didn't help, did she.
Wolfe? What were you doing thirteen years ago? I don't fucking no,
same shit you're doing now, pretty much. I was like, oh,
I should probably propose to my girlfriend and we know how that turned out.
So yeah, I was, I was a newlywed, so yeah,
there you go it's thirty. Well that turned out for all three, you
know, right? Fuck? Maybe I should convert to Mormonism. That says
that's stuck anyway. Yeah, does it come with hair, because that would
that would do it for me. I mean technically you're supposed I would be
like clean shaven and short trimmed hair. So apparently I'm not very good Mormon.
Yeah, add Mormon. Yeah. For long the time, I use
the excuse, I'm like, oh, we're in a pandemic, I can't
go get a haircut. But I think that excuse has turned to run out.
Yeah. No, I think I ran out about about a year and
a half ago. Um, all right, so everybody is working out.
I'm so glad we got the workout Montage. I was afraid we wouldn't get
it with the finale coming up, but I'm I'm glad we got the workout
Montage. But we had to get it just so it could be interrupted.
We had to. And then we get TJ cruising through Argentina on a motorcycle
like fucking fast and furious. Bullshit, what'd you guys think of this?
Fucking shit? Don't eat this? Could you imagine? The production is like
all right, TJ, we need you to show up on Tuesday. We're
gonna shoot some scenes of you driving through the city on your motorcycle. It'll
take like five hours to set up, two seconds to shoot, and then
we'll tear down and then tomorrow we'll do the same thing somewhere else. Yeah,
it seems terrible, but he makes his way to the house and the
finalist starting. He says, the time is now and it's the final starts
fairly part of the finals. If you need to know how to drive a
stick, which Tory fails. That's right, And what do you guys think
of Bananas playing the guitar? There's no fucking way that music was coming from
Banana's guitar, right, That was like, no way, no way.
It wasn't matching his fingers or anything. That wasn't him. And I wasn't
paying that close attention to his fingers, but looking at his face, I
guarantee he wasn't playing that gets there. But anyway, Yeah, so they
start on this hundred hour final. Teach just says, it's one hundred hours
long as final ever. We've seen like two day finals. I think we've
even seen a three day final. In the mix somewhere in there. But
we've never seen a four day And as Wolfie says, they start off driving.
What the fuck is this? And this counts against the final time?
This seems like some fucking bullshit. They drove for the first two hours of
this final. Know how to drive a stick? Yeah? Yeah, I
was very disappointed. You know, KNT fast boarding. You know, they
had to camp out over nice. So we get like sixteen hours into the
final and they've done like two and a half hours of work. The rest
of the time they're just driving or sleeping. Yeah, super weird. Yeah.
By the next morning, it's yeah, it's our twenty and all they've
done is written that bike, which I'm sure it took a long time,
but like, yeah, come on, it's not really one hundred hours,
is it. No, they really tried to, uh to get our expectations
high with that and then let us down. Yeah. Um, well,
the first station here basically after them, they're done driving. Oh by the
way, can you guys drive stick? How would you guys have done here?
Well, yes, Zach, can you drive stick? I cannot Za,
that's trying to teach me once and like within five minutes of me trying
it for the first time ever. He got me on the highway and I
freaked out and I haven't driven it since then. Oh it was the easiest
part. You don have to shift, man, You just got to get
there and then you're fine. Problem is, though, I kept, you
know, when I was trying to shift, I kept, you know,
dying. So like we fall on the highway, I try to shift to
the next gear. We just die in the middle of the highway. It's
like, all right, get a start again. I'm like cards all whizzing
around me. I'm like, no, good times. Everybody that's learned to
drive stick has had horrible experiences like that. That's how you learn. It's
good for you. I once, this has nothing to do with me driving
a stick, but I was in a car that was a stick pulled up
behind a semi that like a stop sign. Semi lets off the clutch,
so the semi starts rolling back. He pretty much doesn't see me, so
he's gonna like totally just bash into my car. So I was like shit,
I shifted into reverse, look at my rearview mirror just as a bus
pulls up right behind me. Luckily, the fucking Semi finally like took off
and went but thought for sure, he's just gonna run right over my car.
And that's that's when I had that. That's when I had that green
Hunde. So it was just like a super tiny car. Yeah, it
would have been a fucking pancake afterwards. I bet Joker was driving that Semi
probably just fucking with you. Well, they get to the first station and
between the two pairs, the rider dies. They've got a ride one hundred
kilometers on these bikes. After they do that, they get a code and
then they can unlock their overnight supplies, tents and sleeping bags and all the
ship they need to overnight. I don't really have any concept of how long
this guy this took. Do you guys have any ideas? They have no
idea. Um, that's a good question. Have they filmed this last spring?
I would still be going so. Uh. Well, Harassio is the
star of this. Takes off his shirt. He looks like a model.
His Jesus hair is just perfect, his body's just perfect. It's glistening with
the sweat. This fucking guy, this fucking Harassia, how dare he be
so good looking? I know, it's like not fair that we have to
live in the same world as him. Damn it, slubby forty year old
guys have to live in the same universe as Harassio. It's just not fair.
Uh. But Johnny and Devon they're not content to let Harassio steal the
spotlight. They got to take off their shirts too. And by the way,
I gotta say, and this might sound weird, Devin, I know,
isn't much compared to like looking at bananas a Harassio. But like,
for just like an average dude, he looks pretty good, right, Yeah,
he's a He's a fit, athletic, least shaped man. It's just
he doesn't look as good next to these other monster guys. Didn't he tell
Harassio, Like, yeah, but I can eat whatever I want. Maybe
that seems like something Deva would do. Um, But yeah, I mean
it's we compare him to these other challenge rock stars and we shouldn't. It's
not fair. He doesn't look that bad even though he's like a joke of
him next to him. Our resident sports person or athletic person, Carlin says,
fifty kilometers a person would take about two hours. Okay, so they're
going about two hours a little more, a little less. Now, Devin
and Tory say there's no real benefit to finishing this quickly, so they're just
sort of going to paste themselves and take their time with it. What do
you guys think? Is that the right thing? Think? Yeah? I
feel like they didn't lose that much sleep compared to everyone else, So oh,
I think I think it was pretty smart. Like, you're in a
four day final, don't kill yourself in the first like you know, ten
hours. Yeah, so so good to say the way things they go in
it's a four day final, which will probably be about six hours of actual
physical activities. Well we'll see. I don't think a Nissa could even do
that much, but we'll see. Um, yeah, I agree they I
think going a little slower was the right move. I mean, even if
even if they go half speed and they lose two hours of sleep, it's
like, who fucking cares? There's no advantage to be one here, there's
no it doesn't really matter whether or not they win this round. So yeah,
they were the last to finish here, but who cares? So I
believe Amanda in the chat room just joined our our discord and she made sure
to comment it took me an hour to figure out how to get in this
fucking blame Patroon. I did my I think I did it right. Um.
But during this we start to see the first cracks and the Banani ride
or dye hair with Bananas kind of fucking around and Nanni taking none of this.
Ever since TJ showed up, Johnny has not stopped joking around, talking
just like, does this dude ever stop? Does he just trying to crack
one liners the whole time hoping I'll make it on TV. That's Bananas seeks
attention, gotta be the jokester. Yeah, you could tell when TJ showed
up at the house and Bananas started just saying like, my dad's name is
Regis, my mom's name is Laura, and I have three sisters. It's
like, shut the fuck up, nobody wants the year this shit. Just
shut up. Let TJ do his like mean little stare and the final starts
now, and shit, I'll interrupt the gay Come on, you're the only
person in America. So anyway, Stage one, Harassi on Olivia are the
first to finish. Jordan and Anissa are next killed it. Yeah they did.
They had something to prove. Man. They wanted to hit the ground
running and proved they were here to win. Banani finishes third, Tory and
Devin, predictably h finished last, and so after that everybody builds their camp
and goes to sleep. That's the first changing this thing. Now, I
think I've heard you wrong there, Tim, Are you saying in a multi
hour endurance competition a Nissa beat Nan? I want you to save your ship,
Zach, because this is the only thing that Annissa does good this final.
The rest is lying and complaining and moping and walking when she should be
running. So well, she's injured now, so everything from this point forward
is like, not Cannon this. Uh, I'm not gonna let you cop
out of this injury thing. This is a bullshit. This is a fucking
thing. All the stats have an asterisk next to him. They do not.
The one and only thing from this final that is not painted is that
challenge and Anissa. Fuck off you guys. You guys know I'm right,
We're so. Amanda was on your side with this too. I swear.
The only other people that have ever been on this show are fucking delusional.
If you think Anissa is anywhere close to Nanni in a final situation, it
is not close. You guys are insane chat room chime in. Uh,
Anissa's injury is not real. It didn't really happen, and we'll get to
it. Jesus, I know that you guys are going to do this too.
You guys were relieved when Anissa got hurt. You guys were both like,
oh, thank god, we cannot We can position without having to submit
that we're wrong. She's gonna lose Tims could be like, see, and
I'm gonna have to be like, dude, she fucking rolled her ankle in
like the first ten minutes. I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna be like
see when she quits, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that. So be Parde.
You know, I felt some relief for Jordan that, you know,
he wasn't gonna have to drag her down anymore. Shut up, it says.
It's insane to me. They just had to build a tent, no
contest with one person staying up at all. It was bullshit so far.
I'm not really impressed with this final so far, agreed Carlin. They should
be torturing these fucking assholes. When I heard this was gonna one hundred hour
final. I thought this might be one of the hardest I'm thinking so far,
now it might be one of the easiest finals. Man and Nisa still
can't do it. So what's that tell you? Crazy? All right?
So the next morning, TJ rides up at a four wheeler. Gotta get
a couple more shots to TJ riding a four wheeler, sometimes in slow motion,
it's important, adds a lot of context of the show. Good five
minutes he stops and he says, Hey, guys, guess what the final
is. It's a race with several stations. We've never seen this format before
in a final. In a final, it's crazy, and the winner of
the first day gets an advantage for the second day. So you know,
Devin and Tory that that plan they had to just sort of pace themselves.
That's not gonna work. Now they got to win. Yeah, but their
their plans just to pace themselves the night before. Yea, yeah, it's
now that the stakes are revealed, they're like, all right, now we
know what we got to strive for. Yeah, I mean it was still
they did the right thing, no, no question. And also we know
from past seasons there's a good chance they could finish this leg like by three
hours and then get a thirty second head start the next day. That's kind
of what I'm worried about. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm worried about.
We'll see how. I hope they have something to kind of balance that
out a little bit. Carlin thinks she's like, I think this final is
going to be like Invasion, hardest final ever with the laughing emoji next to
it. Yeah, which I want to point out from last week's episode where
Carlin guest hosted a numerous people asking for her to become the fourth fourth co
host of the show. I saw the Facebook thread. Everybody's saying, Carlin
did great, Carlin starts your own podcast, or right, come on us,
whatever, what do you want to do? Um. So they're going
through the teams, everybody kind of chimes in with what they think their strengths
and weaknesses are. The whole time I was sitting there, like, Tim
loves this, Tim loves this part. I couldn't wait for Nissa to be
like, Oh, my weakness is clearly that I can't run, I can
barely walk. I'm one hundred pounds overweight. And I'm gonna wage Jordan down,
but no one. Nissa says that her biggest weakness is like communication styles
and personality conflicts. That's why they're gonna struggle in this final Um. I
don't know if she's delusional or lying, but she's crazy. Right, you
guys agree that that's insanity. Such a reverse. I just somebody is to
admit that I have a point. That's all. I'm gonna keep pushing it
until you agree with me. As someone who has met a Nissa, she
does have a very strong personality. So like she and I got long great,
but I could see her having personality conflicts and communication of people that don't
click with her, in addition to not being able to actually do the physical
challenges involves here. She's done all of them so far, and she beat
Nannie in them, and the only one that matters because after that she's injured
and so nothing else counts, right, So yes. Immediately after this,
Anissa walks up a small incline. I think she might have stepped on an
acorn, and she rolls her ankle like a log or a rock or something
we don't know where it was, or a pebble or an acorn. It
was one of them. To be fair, that is the same ankle she
broke on a previous season. Hey, another reason that maybe she shouldn't do
well this show anymore if that it was a legitimate injury. That's another reason
why she shouldn't. She shouldn't do the fucking show. Tim. Tim's the
fucking conspiracy theorist. All of a sudden, she's fake. She should fake
her every season. Fake her. I mean the second they have to run
will be the exact precise second she says she rolled her ankle. She didn't
make it thirty feet she rolled her agle. Please wasn't there what the camera
showed. I wasn't there either. But I have critical thinking skills that I
can apply to the situation and see what happened. Understand, it's fine on
the nice flat ground until Jordan coerced turned to going into an uneven fourth Yeah,
just just like Anissa. You're blaming Jordan for uh for Anissa's bad personality
trade. I'm gonna point out I take Margo for walks. Sometimes, just
walking on some of the uneven pavement, I will fucking roll my ankle.
Wollfee. That is because you are out of shape, and you could also
not run this final with any of them, just like you are proving my
point, not a niece's. Me and Devon would be giving each other high
fives. The whole Me and him would be like neck and neck for first,
you are a delusional You are a delusional person, and so are you,
Zack. You're not excluded from this, all right, So they arrive
at he Zack and Devin high fives the entire way. I don't think so,
Devin, Devon is on my side of this least thing for sure.
Tim would still be on the air side bike with a nanny. All right.
So we're at the bowl of station. They gotta throw these bowl of
snake thingies. Yeah, this is fun. I like these is fun.
Game. We call this. He'll build a golf around my neck of the
woods, snake golf. You guys called it snake golf. What'd you call
it as we like to call it, He'll build it golf. I mean
we played it. I can't remember what we called it. I have to
I'll have to ask friends up there and get back you guys. But uh,
yeah, but see we always played it where you'd have like we actually
like drilled holes into tennis balls and like made it. Yeah. Yeah,
the ones we had were PVC pipes, and then you know the golf balls
with the ropes. Ye, yeah, you always make them at home in
the garage when you're drunk, and then you play this stupid game. All
right. We got people in the chat room. Carlin says it's always called
ladder golf. I've heard ladder golf too, and then Patty has a much
better name for it, which we called it, Chuck your nuts. Chuck
your nuts. I like that one great. I've certainly never heard it called
bolam, but I knew, I knew exactly what this game was. Yeah,
it's a lot of fun. Yeah, so I think we should start
playing it like this. You give other people fish smoothies after you get fucking
after you fucking chuck your nuts and get them wrapped around the poles. Yeah,
who don't use carabiners on them. Yeah. So Olivia got her fingers
stuck in that thing somehow, which is like a remarkably weird way to get
injured. I would not have expected somebody to get get an injury playing this
snake golf game. I didn't understand it. But when they showed it in
SlowMo and you can see where her hand was. I'm like, oh,
okay, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, I mean there was. She
grabbed it at the care beater clipper, just above it. It was probably
not the best place to grab it, but still, I would not have
expected an injury this sort of severe with this game. I mean, it's
just kind of crazy. Yeah, it didn't look fun, and it probably
wasn't super terrible. I mean, she was obviously able to continue, but
man, her hand would not stop fucking bleeding for a while. A lot
of blood was gross. Yeah, see, and all that blood dripped down.
I figured, you know that they might medically pull her at that point,
like, just because there's so much more to go, and I'm sure
there's gonna be other things where you got to use your hands, yeah,
or stuff where you gotta get into water. You can't take that shit into
water usually. Yeah. So yeah, it didn't look good, but Olivia
is a trooper, man. They were like patching her finger up and she's
chugging that fish drink stuff with her other hand and shit like it was so
gross, but she was playing to win and she was not going to let
that finger thing take her out of the game. So that was kind of
cool. Let's see, should we talk about Bananas and Devin's teams sort of
sabotaging each other and then realizing like, Okay, we do this, this
is going to go on forever, so how about we call it truce?
And I like that. Devon's like, hey, are we're gonna pass these
back and forth. We're gonna call it truce. So Johnny's like, yeah,
yeah, truce whatever. Yeah, Well it made sense for both of
them just give all that shit to Olivia Harassio and don't worry about it.
But I did think it was interesting because that came back later. Devon says,
like, we have this deal with them, We're not going to sabotage
each other. My understanding from what we saw was really that that arrangement was
for that specific challenge, right that doesn't like I didn't got, I did
not get the impression that was carrying on through the rest of the finale.
I thought the same thing at first, but then we see when they get
to, you know, the next part of the challenge, they say,
you know, we have this deal with Johnny and Nanny, so we have
no choice but to do hers and Olivia. So I think it's supposed to
be for their STA challenge, but we already saw Devin saying, you know,
like if we need to break it later down the line, we will.
Yeah, but that's what That's what I mean. When they came back
to it, I was a little surprised. I guess I just thought,
well, yeah, after that, it's fair game, sabotage whatever you want.
Yeah, I thought it for that one challenge only. Also, I
think you could look at it as Devin and Tory feel like they have this
truce, but maybe Johnny and Nanny think it was just for that one thing
in there. You know, they'd be more apt sabotage them later. Yep,
we'll see how that plays out, because yeah, Devon, as Devin
is sort of recapping, like what happens if they break it. It's really
just if if Naughty and Bananas break this truce, they just that just means
they lie, but there's nothing that they can do about it. There's no
sort of penalty to be had for this. Yeah. Um, which is
funny because he's like, well, if they break it, they lie,
But then he's like, yeah, but you know, later down the line,
cloth of the finish, we might have to betray them. It's like,
okay, so like you don't have an issue with the line. Yeah,
that's true. Well, Jordan needs to show up to this bowla throwing
station. Um, they're late, but they're not Crazyly there's a couple teams
that are still there, um, and nobody's really worried about them in the
final. They haven't been sabotaged, so I think they must know what I
know that Anissa is not going to win this final and they're not going to
worry about sabotaging here. I mean the fact that they were able to make
it there while other people are still there and I'm Nissa's running on an ankle
that's broken in three different locations. Yeah, that's it's a fucking miracle.
Oh I agree, yes, completely agree. Uh. Anyway, so Devin
and Toy they finished the bowlers first. Devon has to drink all the fish
gut shit because Tory is a vegan, so he downs three pints. Those
are bigger than pints, twenty five ounce fucking mugs. Sh Yeah yeah,
yeah, very big. What a fucking ride or die? I wish it
would tell us what was in that ship? I really want to know.
Yeah, and the taste of ranch fish something else. Yeah, Devin's a
better person than me because you know, he's like, oh, Toy's vegan,
she can't drink this, but then she volunteered in. If I was
saying, I would be like, yeah, like, I don't care if
you're vegan, you're helping. I would too. I would say drink at
least one of the three. I mean, I understand Devin is more capable
and stuff, but this is a ride or die thing, like, let
them both kind of endure this shit. And as much as it hates me
to compare myself to a guy like I in this challenge, I'm totally a
FESSI like, I could do a lot of things I can't do the eating
or drinking gross things like. So in a sense, when you look at
FESSI you're like, it's like looking in a mirror pretty much, especially when
I take my shirt off. Yeah, yeah, I understand, I know
what that's like. Or Jay, you know, one of the two somewhere
in the middle there. I would have struggled with this, but I could
have gotten that down. I do. I think, I don't think.
I don't think I ever would have a problem with drinking or eating. Job
just I think my mind would go to Hawaii and all that just go in
my mouth but down my throat into my stomach. I think I could get
there. The drinking stuff would be harder, but I think I could sort
of put myself in his Zen like place and just sort of just get it
done, which seems to be what Devon does. I don't remember Deva Devon
ever eating or drinking anything like this before, but he did, okay,
right, not a not an all star champion eater, but he did all
right, Yeah, he did great. Oh what Jacqueline brings up top ten
challenger Fessi. Oh yeah, let's put a pin in that. We'll talk
about that in the after show, because all my fucking god, I'm gonna
defend FESSI on that one. So brace yourselves. Fuck off sting contrarian today,
No, I'm not. I have a point with that one. Station
two is next. They have to drag sixteen tires one kilometer down the road
and stack them in the order in which the team that's represented on that tire
wasn't eliminated. It didn't say it out right, but you could only carry
one tire at a time, right, Yeah, yeah, and you couldn't
roll them or anything. It said the tire could not touch the ground,
so you had to carry it one at a time, And Bananas had the
best strategy. I think other people did it too, but the first time
I seem to notice it was he was doing it. It's just put the
tire over it, across your chest. I swear it like a I don't
know what the fuck you would call it, but your fucking messenger bag and
just start running. Yeah, almost like a purse, like it goes across
the Yeah, across your chest. Yes, definitely the best way to carry
it. Um, because you're not then you're not actually carrying it. That's
got to save some energy and save you some of your like arm strength,
muscle strength. Yeah, totally. Uh So it's at this point that Jordan
is starting to get really pissed at Anissa. Anissa is um not jogging,
she's walking. She's walking very slowly. And she heard her, she heard
her ankleton. Hey, I'm not saying this, he's sort of a spin
I'm just reporting what happened. And Jordan says he's pissed because he's got a
legacy to protect. He says that when he gets to a final, people
fear him. He pushes himself to succeed, and he pushes others around him
because they're trying to beat him. And so he's a little worried if he
performs very poorly on this final that's going to impact his legacy. What do
you guys think? Yeah, I mean whatever, he's uh, people are
gonna be afraid of him no matter what. Even if like he does do
horrible, He's not gonna be horrible. People will, people will incorrectly.
So yeah, but that was a niece's fault. So he'll still be feared
in finals. That's what everybody's gonna say, and they're gonna be right.
Anissa is still gonna like drag him to the end, even though she's got
five broken bones in her ankle. Right, Yeah, she does not limping.
She's not limping on that leg at all. I know Tory, he
says she is, But that's just because Tory likes her. She's not limping
on that leg. She's fine. Some of these uh, some of these
names, who else fucking forgot that? Caleb? I know, right?
It showed Darrell and Veronic At one point, I'm like, wait, fuck,
were they were in the season. Oh yeah, they were on this
season. It's like months ago. Michelle and Jay they were like huge for
the first third of the season or something. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,
So it's funny. About two days ago, I got in an argument
with one of my friends because they were talking about Emmy from this season.
I was like, no, Emmy was on last season, you know,
like because I was thinking an alien. I mean, they're like, no,
she was. There was a girl on this season named Emmy. I
had no recollection of her. She was she Nam's partner that quit. She
was, yes, so we never I don't even think we saw a confessional
from her or anything. I don't think so. No. Yeah, but
it blew my mind because I was like, I have no recollection of this
woman existing. I wonder if Noam was on the tie. Do you think
Noam was on the tires? I didn't see it. I don't think he
was. They didn't really focus too much on the names on the tires.
Yeah. Well, and they said eliminated, so and he wasn't really eliminated.
He was disqualifiers on on whatever. I don't think he knows nobody.
Nobody knows, and it does nobody. Nobody seemed to get it wrong.
Everybody seemed to get it right. It's just about how quickly everybody got there.
Yeah, and we see some cracks in communication with some of them.
We saw Jordan and a Nissa fighting. We saw Devin and Tory fighting over
the univer Tory was kind of upity about the I wrote these down in my
notebook. Yeah, and she got one wrong. She's like, oh shit,
Yeah, and Devin Pullman, I told you so. And yeah,
I really liked Jordan's pep talk to Anissa. As Anissa is, you know,
walking as slowly as I could possibly imagine. He's like, you know,
you know I do when I'm injured, I picture white blood cells going
to the injury and healing myself and it works. Just picture it, a
Nissa, picture these white blood cells. What the fuck is he doing here?
What is this? Jordan's a fucking liquid terminator, right, I've actually
done that before, so I knew what he was talking about. Really,
I just I don't know. I was just it's a big psychosomatic thing.
Just if you picture it, it will psychologically make you feel better. So
that's all that matters. Well, Jordan is one that won the Dirty thirty
finale with the broken legs, so he would be the one to talk to
about it. But I don't think her niece is capable of this, and
I know that because she didn't do it, so she's not capable of this.
And so at the end, Devin and Tory they finished this tire thing
first and then they arrive at the sling shot station. We saw Devin right
killed it originally fucking killed it once again. I mean, I don't know
if this ship was edited, but from what we saw he boom got on
his first shot. He talked Tori through like all right down, a little
bit, left, a little bit, pull it back, let it go.
Boom two in a row, all done. Was this editing or was
this editing? Or was this is this really all this worked out? I
don't know. Oh no, I can't say. I think it's pretty close
to how it worked out, because I don't think Nanni and Johnny that were
that far behind them. And by the time they got to the sling shots,
you know, Devin and Toy were already gone. So yeah, so
this is where they really increased their lead because everybody else is struggling at the
slingshot thing. Johnny and Nanny. No idea how long they're there, but
sure seems like a long time, a long time. And then Olivia Harassio
roll up, Um Harassio they have to And because they were sabotage, we
should mention that Devin and Tory finished first, so they get to sabotage.
They mentioned this deal they have with Banani and so they are sabotaging has Harassio
and Olivia. Yeah, and they also I don't want to, you know,
put one on a niece and Jordan because they know Jordan's a deadweight anyway.
I'm also sure that's right. Yes, Jordan is the one that they're
not worried about. Um, so yeah, Bananni is there for a long
time. Olivia Harassia roll up and Olivia takes her turn. She's really struggling
because off her finger issues. She can't grip the thing. She's struggling with
even like figuring out the logistics of how to fire this thing with one hand.
And at some point Horatio is like, use your other hand, and
I'm like, yeah, why is somebody have to tell her that that would
be tricky to do? With your non dominant hand, though with your left.
I mean, I don't know, it would just be a comfortable thing.
I guess I don't know, Yeah, I think, and depending how
hard you have to pull it back, like how much like resistance there is,
I could see it being hard to like pull it that far and hold
it to aim with your non dominant hand. Yeah. So it turns out
not to matter much because it was unlike Olivia's second or third time going,
this golf ball somehow whips around backwards and knocks her right right between the eyes.
It looks like and super lucky shot. Yeah. I mean if that
one to her eyeball due, that would have knock her eyeball out. Yeah.
Instantly you saw like the welling up and the blood mark like instantly,
um, and you know she she covers her her mouth with her hands and
stuff, and unbelievable amounts of blood. I mean it's insane. Yeah,
the worst injury I think we've seen that I can recall, um in terms
of like the amount of blood and the amount of just sort of like the
nastiness of how it looked. I mean, I don't know if it's quite
at the level then Nissa suffered tonight. But it's it's a close second.
Yeah, it's it's it's in the ballpark, Yeah for sure. Um An
ambulance pulls up, takes Olivia away, and Harassio. As Olivia is pulling
away, Harassio sets up like, I'm gonna stop up for you. I'm
gonna win this for you. I'm still gonna go. I'm still gonna do
this. And I was thinking, like, no, you're fucking not,
man, because you're definitely gonna get disqualified from this. This is what always
happens. Well, at the beginning of it, he did say if they
let me, yea, they would never let him run a payer's final by
himself. That's just not how this is gonna work. I'll try to manifest
stuff you don't. You don't give in right away. You wait until someone
tells you. I suppose that's true. But I guess I would have ridden
in the ambulance with her if I was allowed. I mean, well,
he said they weren't gonna let they weren't gonna let him ride in the ambulance.
Oh okay, so that was okay, Damn said to do That's what
upt me is because I'm like, if you're not gonna him finish, let
him go with her to the hospital. I was like, Well, the
fact that they're not telling him like go with her, I'm like, maybe
they will let him keep going, like because otherwise that's pretty shitty if they're
gonna like make him wait for her to leave and then be like, Okay,
now you're eliminated and you can't go like chet. That's what they did,
though. It's kind of weird. I wonder why if it was just
there wasn't room in the ambulance, or I mean, why didn't he go
in a car, you know, a car a minute or two behind her,
Like, I don't know, it was just a little probably what he
ended up doing, But at that very moment, he's like, they wanted
me going the ambulance, so yeah, they're gonna let me. I'm gonna
blah blah blah blah blah do all this shit. And then TJ, who
was definitely not filmed, at a later date saying all this other stuff,
Yeah, I would I noticed that never had them in the same shot.
It was just TJ talking and then Harassio responding to it, and um,
yeah, basically he's not allowed to continue he starts crying. A producer comes
in to comfort him, because you live and die by your ride or die.
Come on, it's been it's been the model all season. It slipped
in my mind. Yeah, so that fucking shot though, Jesus Christ,
it's crazy. She grabbed her nose. I was like, oh, my
fucking God, Like, that's insane. I gasped when it showed her confessional,
which she had like the two black eyes O Jesus and a big not
right right in between her eyes and stuff. I mean, that poor woman's
she full on broke her nose. Unbelievable. I mean, that must have
been. That must have felt like getting hit in the face of the baseball
bat, you know what I mean, like just square in the face with
a bat or something like crazy. But yeah, so she was eliminated.
Harassio is gone. Carrossio is crying. He's really struggling with this. And
it's times like this I realized, like I am so not like these challengers.
I'm such like not a competitive person. If I was Harassio in this
position, I'd be like, Oh, thank God, I don't have to
do the rest of this fucking shit. I can go home and fucking watch
TV for half a million dollars, though, Tim, I think if you're
in the reality of the situation and you're like, it's half a million dollars,
probably be more investment. Maybe I would be Maybe I could unlock some
competitiveness when I when I was there. But um, Harassio is struggling what
they would have done if he was just like fuck it. I know I'm
not gonna I know I can't win it, but I just want to finish
this. I just want to prove I can do it. I'll just I'll
just hang for as long as I can. I wonder if they would have
let him. Yeah, okay, I was thinking the same thing because I
was like, well, obviously he probably can't win, but may he just
wants to, you know, like, yeah, do the course to feel
good about himself. And uh, I agree. So I'm glad jokers because
I was thinking it. Um, she looked hot with the black eyes like
Clama. I was like, that is a tough ass Alaska and woman like
I'm in love, you know what it was like. I don't think i'd
go so far as to say she looked hot, but she looked good and
and I think it was the lack of makeup. She wears so much makeup
sometimes and it's sort of is PLASTICI and she looked a little more like a
real human being. Yeah, and that confessional and it there's something a little
like endearing about just like, oh, that's the human Olivia. I feel
like I've been saying all season on the podcast, like there's two Olivia's.
There's like normal around the house Olivia, and then there's like confess Olivia where
she's like all made up and looks like a completely different person. Yeah.
Hey, shake shakers in the chairman. We should point out Carlin Bring brought
it up there she is. She deleted their comment and reaut of it that
Rashio said he would do double the work if they'd let him continue. Still
wouldn't let him do it? Yeah, well that's not like a reasonable thing.
You can't do double the work. Oh, I know, but it
doesn't make any sense. That's just how that's how dedicated he was. Yeah.
No, I mean I like that he's dedicated. I'm sure that we'll
see both of them back. They really like made a good impression. They
had a great run for rookie season. Olivia Team All the way to the
final, and Olivia just went out with such a tragic way, like we
have to we have to see her back to sort of redeem that, redeem
yourself there, And this isn't the last time we've seen them. And I
think production want to protect some of the other teams because like, how bad
would it look when Harassio, like all by himself beats some of the teams.
Yeah, like Anisa for sure, especially for the uh fucking uh runway
model section of the final and you know, you guys, he's gonna kill
everybody. You guys keep talking about Anissa and how she's injured and so this
this final shouldn't count because she's injured. But Anissa herself says, this physical
pain, it's not so bad, and she's experienced much worse emotional pain.
So she can get through this just fine. If she's not using her injury
as an excuse. I'm afraid you guys can't either. She will lose on
her own merits. See, there's still two more, two more episodes,
tim there sure are, and that's uh, that's this episode. We're done
yet, But I think that's about it is. Uh, from what we've
seen, it just looks like more arguing between the team's next episode, which
is always fun to see. Yep, the cracks are showing Nannie needs to
like take a chill pill and like have more fun. Bananas needs to take
it a little more seriously. I think there's a there's a balance, There's
a balance to be had here. Also, I didn't love him trying to
like whip her with his shirt when they were riding the bike. But I'm
also like, if you're gonna be on the bike in the middle of the
woods for a couple hours, like I don't want to sit there in silence,
you know, peddling, Like I want someone to you know, be
making jokes and like keeping us entertained and laughing while we're doing it. Do
you know who does it? It's well, and I think Nannie's pretty tolerant
of the stuff. But we've seen Bananas do this a lot this season where
he just sort of he'd keeps joking even as she's like, Bananas, that's
fucking enough, and he just keeps doing it. And at that point,
you're just doing it to bugger and that's not you know that if I the
Bananas shoes, I'd be going stark. If I just knew I had to
sail on the bike in silence for like two or three hours, like I'd
need to talk and like be doing stuff to keep myself entertained. Well,
you would also make a very bad partner to Nanni. Yeah, but that's
because you know it's Nannie. So I know that I have no chance to
win, Like, like, can I trade her for like a Nissa,
even though she's had a leg amputated? All right, all right, we
got we got two more weeks, guys, We'll see how this plays out
in two weeks. I can wait. It's been years that've been on this,
on this crusade. Man. It says Nanny's trying to win, but
as he's take it seriously, he's wonderful, so he doesn't really care he's
being selfish. Yeah, well it's it's disrespectful. I really think it's disrespectful
to Nanni, who. You know, when you're in a partnership, you
have to take the other person's perspective. And if she says, like Johnny
fucking knock it off, he should at least knock it off a little bit.
He should tone it down, you know, for sure, So says
three guys who are worse, I mean, be fair. Like he tried
to make a deal with her, like I'll bring it down a notch,
you bring it up a notch, and she's just like, fuck you Johnny.
Did he say that. Yeah, He's like, he's like, how
about I. I like, I will settle down, but I need you
to get a little bit more amped up. And she's like just fuck you
Johnny. No, oh, I didn't catch that. That's when he went
back to whipping her again when she said, no, Yeah, he is
just I mean Banana's attitude. I guess sometimes it's fun to watch on TV.
He would be driving me crazy in this position too, of just sort
of not listening, doing his own thing, no matter what I said.
I don't know, it's just it would drive me nuts. I also remember,
as Devin and Toy pointed out, like there's no prize or punishment based
on how quickly you finish this, so it's not like you need to be
in super focused, serious mode, like you know, you just gotta get
done and not be that stressed out while you're doing it. Yeah, Joker
says that I would just let the go do what he does. You don't
have it's questioning Brady in the huddle exactly. Well, I, sir,
would be questioning because I don't know if Greg Brady is all that good of
a football player, because they never showed it in an episode. I believe
it was Peter that threw the ball at him marsh of the nose and broke
her. So maybe saying not questioning the Bradys' is not the best idea.
Joker. Wow, Maybe, Amanda, Maybe it's not that Bananas doesn't care.
Maybe it's that he's won seven times and what he's doing right that moment
is how you win seven times. We'll see, all right, guys,
we should we should place our bet. Zach, you are excluded from this
because you're spoiled this season. Wolfie, who do you think gon win?
Hold on? I'm reading Carlin's response, Banana's just an asshole and has to
get has to be the start of the show. Nannie didn't get. Nannie
didn't need to get more hyped while riding a bike. I agree, ye,
yep agree. Um who's winning at this point? I'm I'm pulling for
Torian Devin because he smoked this first this first day, and I think I
think they both deserve it, and I think Devin winning will drive Fessi fucking
nuts. That's what I want to say. Oh you know, obviously I'm
always team Bananas. Even if I knew he won or lost, I'm gonna
be rooting for him. Um But now that you bring up how much that
would annoy Fessi, it does really kind of pull me a team Devin a
bit. Yeah. You know, you know, Devin would rub that in
every time he's on a season with Fessi, It's gonna come up, and
uh, I just I would just love to see that. I would love
to see how Fessi reacts to that every time. Every time. However,

We have Olivia guest hosting this week. There you go. She's very she's
very quiet this week as well. She's she's taken by my beauty over head.
I left her speechless. Two Alaskan blondies with long, luxurious hair.
Yes, you guys would make very cold blonde children. All right, well,
I'm good. Try for that. Good luck. Uh do you interviews
him? No? All right, Zach. Do we have any social media
stuff? Well, I think we wanted to bring up the the Fessie and
Devin of it all with being a top ten Challenge player and top twenty five
and if you guys didn't see, uh, Devin tweeted out earlier this week
that uh, he's one of the top top twenty five greatest challengers ever.
Would I think I agree with you guys agree with that? I do,
actually, very un ironically, I can I twenty five like that's a solid
number. It's like, yeah, I don't know where you'd beat. I
think you're in it, which Bessie then said, he's a top ten right,
Yeah, if you had something to say about this, Was it just
the Devin thing about pissing him off? Yes, I think it's I'm defending
him a little bit because in a vacuum, Fessie's tweet looks fucking ridiculous,
But when you realize he just stole the tweet word for word from Devon and
change the number that's a little more like, all right, you're kind of
making fun of Devin, You're kind of self deprecating a little bit. Um.
I don't know. That was an easy one for me to sort of
forgive him for that and move fast it. Well. I think we also
would all agree that Fessie in his mind does believe he's top ten. Yeah,
and so that's the part that's a little bit like he's still a delusional
asshole. Yeah, but I don't. I just read it very much as
him giving Devon shit, which maybe isn't maybe not the proper way to read
it, but that's how I sort of take it, which I don't know
if you guys saw. But then we had a third person jump in and
THEO from the UK. So he's one of the top three greatest challengers ever,
top three. I think he said three or five. I'm pretty sure
he said three. THEO was good, but he didn't have a big enough
resume to claim that. But he was good. I mean, he was
a really good player. But I think you know where's I think Fassi truly
believes he's top ten. I definitely think THEO was just trying to make fun
of FESSI yeah, yeah, uh, I would say more than ten men
have won A finals. None of them are named Bessie. So there's at
least ten people in front of you. They would argue if you're a top
ten player or not. Yeah, that's what I think in earlier is if
if there's at least ten people in front of you that want a challenge,
then you're not top ten because you go on the show ultimately to win.
Like, if you're not winning, you're failing at your goal. Yeah.
Well, the way they all phrased it, I mean, did THEO use
the exact same word for word tweet? He did? Yeah, he just
okay, copy paste with it and change the number. There's something about Devin's
just sort of attitude that I feel like he can get away with saying shit
like that, where the others like kind of can't. I don't. I
can't quite explain that. Yeah, but yeah, it's fine because like obviously
we know that Fessi's probably not top ten and Thea's not top three. But
like we all said, when we saw Devin's say, top twenty five,
we're like, yeah, that's a realistic number, Like you probably are right.
I think it was more like the follow up, he said something like,
if you don't agree with me, you're just a hater or something.
Yeah, and that's a that's a little bit like, all right, come
on, Devin, but he can Devin can still want to pull it off.
But when Fessi says it, it's like fessi'or a fucking piece of
shit. Yeah, you know, you know, I would love to see
that conversation like Devin does it. You're like, oh, Devin, he
says the exact same thing. You're like, no, no, Fessy,
No, Hey, I'm I'm a hypocrite. I'm a hypocrite, but I'll
at least admit it. I agree with you. Yeah, yeah, fuck
fessing any other social media stuff? Sack. I believe that was it this
week? All right, Um, yeah, we'll be lost. I was
going on, we got two more weeks, two moks ahead. Do we
have anything else we're supposed to cover? Now? We don't. We have
three more weeks, Tim, because didn't she said, then we have a
reunion after the finale. H yeah, I don't know if I have enemy
to do three more weeks of ride Er dies and then out for this we'll
see one, two, three, and I think that gives us, like,
what two weeks off the er three until the Challenge USA or World Challenge
starts. It's crazy, man, we don't get a break on this fucking
podcast anymore. It's crazy. I don't just right because I'm sure All Stars
four will start well, Global Championships still going on, so we'll have double
duty. I think you're right it. All Stars is filming. All Stars
four is filming right now. So and although I'm pretty sure we won't cover
it on here, just because I've seen people talk about in the group,
they have announced that the international versions of the Challenge leading up to the World
Championship will be added to Paramount Plus. I believe. I believe they said
February eleventh, they go up interesting cool. I won't watch it. I
will be watching them, so anyone else. I wanted to watch them before
you see these people compete. So, and I read a rumor. I'm
still scared to look at the Challenge World Championship casting list until this season is
over. But I've heard that they are going to pair an MTV Challenge alumni
with a non MTV Challenge alumni. Is that right? Zech that is the
plan? Is yes, uh, each of the international and US people will
be paired with a veteran from the MTV show, So half of the contestants
are our MTV players that we know. Yes, okay, that's good to
know. I like that. Cool. So there's a lot of talk because
they said challenge legends. So now people are speculating, like, you know,
if are we going to just begin the best of the best, where
we're gonna be getting like Josh as an MTV Challenge legend, right if he
gets legend attached to his name, I mean, I'm gonna stop watching.
You know, we all hate Josh. But after Tim said the thing about
Devin winning earlier, my first thought would be like, oh my gosh,
Josh winning a season and Fessi not winning would be the greatest thing ever.
I don't know. I think there'd be do you want do you want to
bleach in your eyes? Or do you want to drink acid? Which one
do you want? I just want to see every time they're on a season
together, just one Fessi's on there him having a look at Josh and be
like that man could win a season and I can't which one is bleaching,
which one is acid? Josh is Josh Bleach because it's out of those two.
You clearly want bleach. You pour me in your eyes, but you
wan't bleaching your eyes. That's the better acid drinking Assid is gonna kill you
bleaching your eyes. He's gonna blind you, all right, whatever, It's
like, they both really suck, but it's all terrible, all right.
When we start talking about Josh and equating him to Bleach, that means it's
time to wrap the show up and for this episode of Challenge to this is
a bit Brian Zachy bananas and as Olivia said, is it still straight? Charletne
