Hey, everybody, we'll fetch another episode of Challenge podcast all about the Challenge.
It's a fucking saman I swear to god break the Internet. Geez,
hey, everybody, it's Brian sitting over in his bedroom once again. Is
pig uncle sweet? See Kim Kardashian's ass. That's what I was trying to
think of, and I couldn't fucking come up with their name quick enough.
All right, the Kardashians ass. Yeah, that was that's what originally broke
the Internet. Right, We're already passed that to him, all right,
just just like the Internet, we've moved on. I know, dude,
I couldn't think I could think of her name fast enough, so I sucked
it all up. Uh and sitting in her striped Waldo cosplays. Yeah,
apparently, I like this sweater in San Diego. No, I still like
this sweater. You have no taste. Sitting at work hoping nothing happens that
he has to be all secaredy about it, zacky bananas. Carlin Daisy has
a shirt that's similar but black and white striped, and every time she wears
it, I call her the Hamburglar and it drives her nuts. She's like
what's the hamburglar? Nice daisy doesn't take to your Shenanigans? Tim, you
heard that, yelled yelling at me from the kitchen. Yep, Tim,
is the heat working in your house? No, but it's like we're in
a heat wave here in ten Illinois. So I'm not bothered by this stuff
at all. Yeah. No, it's totally comfortable, and it hasn't right
now. That's good. I was a little worried that I was going to
be in your same situation the other day. Oh. I came home and
because my house is like one hundred years old and my thermost is probably from
the seventies, I this is all I brought this upon myself. I should
have just dealt with it like six months ago, but I didn't. I
came home two days ago and the thermostat had died. And normally, when
that happens, I can just replace the batteries and it's totally fine, and
this time it was not. And it was like, thank god it wasn't
the weekend before, because it wasn't negative outside. It was you know,
twenty five degrees or something like that, but it was like fifty two inside
my house. A little nippy. Yeah, but yeah, spent the whole
evening running back and forth between my house and home depot to get a new
thermist at, and the first one I got didn't work because I don't have
the right wires and blah blah blah blah blah. But finally got at and
running again. Did you replace the thermist at yourself? Yeah, it's not
hard. I know it's not hard, but I'm very impressed that you like.
I'm still I'm just impressed. Is your do you have four girl?
No? No, no, no, no, nothing like that. Do
you have Do you have AC in your house too? No? Okay,
so yeah, I just have. Yeah, I've just got radiant heat.
No. I have thought about having, you know, central air and heat
put in, but I don't have twenty grant just lying around to have all
of the ducting and everything put in. Do you need air in Minneapolis to
get out there? Yep, but I have. I have window units that
I put in. I'm also a little bit more tolerant to it than most
people. Right, if I can keep the windows open and there's a nice
breeze, it's usually fine. I Uh. Cindy's not a big fan of
the fact that my usual top temperature the time of year is sixty eight degrees.
They do, She's like said, a little bit warmer my house.
She's here. We usually sit the back the back room, which is an
addition, and that room is usually a little bit colder than the rest of
the house. So yeah, my house is typically set like I when I
had the old one, I think it was off by a few degrees,
so I'm not entirely sure that it's telling me the right the same thing.
But I set this one at sixty seven during the day, like when I'm
up and moving around in here, and like sixty five at night. And
I have just roasted the last two nights, so I put it down two
degrees last night and still roasted, so I have to drop it another degree.
Yeah, me and Curly could be roommates. Yeah, that my house,
my house holds in It holds in the heat pretty well, so is
mine. So except for that back edition room, Yeah, the rest of
the house is double brick. So but yeah, mine's set to turn down
to sixty five at night. So but then I also sleep with like two
fans on. So all right. Weather discussions are maybe the only thing lamer
than the Challenge season thirty nine. Sorry, sorry, can we get into
the city show? Head over to challenge pot dot com to the Facebook group.
You can also pa trout, which we will get into later maybe,
Carlin. All right, tell us about this episode. Tell us about the
beginning of cord Quess. Quess they got real excited this episode. All right,
Well, we start off with a bunch of voiceovers like it's a it's
a bunch of just not action shots, no people in them video. Yeah,
with a bunch of voice over versions of people upset that also went home
and oh my god, the beginning of this episode, I wanted to punch
Jay in the face, so god, damn much no shit too. I
do wonder if Jay solved a bit of a mystery for us, because remember
last time when when he went home, asof went home, all of us
were like, why was everyone crying? Why did they care so much?
Did he go on to like a spiel about like how he felt bad about
losing for his wife and his kid or something and looking cares well, I
wonder if that's why but he was crying, if aesof gave him really tearful,
like I just wish I could have done well for my family, and
because said something about that every he does. He said that a few times.
He said that he was talking about the the wife and kids, that
he prayed about him and this, that and the other. But it's like,
dude, everyone says that they that they were upset because that they went
home because of their family or this or that, and who cares? Yeah,
I don't care to me, it was a reaction. Was so over
the top. Yeah, oh yeah. Jay was so over the top,
unbelievably weird during this scene. I agree with you, Wilfi. I just
wanted to punch him through my TV screen. He was popping off immediately as
soon as they got in the house. It was like, fuck off,
Yeah, popping off of Kyland for laughing, Like who gives a shit?
Even if it's even if he is laughing about awsome, Like, dude,
you guys have been very obviously against him for episodes now, Like if he
wants to laugh, let him fucking laugh. You'd be laughing if he went
home. Yeah, Jay has no self awareness this season, like less than
Nune. He doesn't I ask that mean mug and shit that he does all
the time. It looks completely silly on him. Yeah, he does,
and sounds like it. He looks he looks like a chihuahua trying to be
a rottweiler. Yeah. Yeah, even his expressions drive me nuts this season.
I can't even look at the guy. Yeah he. I noted later
on that he at one point I can't remember where it is, it will
come to it, but I noted that at one point in time he said
that he's not playing this game with emotions. He's playing it very logically,
and like, right, you are only playing this game with emotions. Yeah,
no self awareness this guy none none, which is really unfortunate because I
did like him when he first showed up on this show. I really liked
him when we first got into this house. I really liked him. Really
he is. He's on FESSI and Josh and Johnny Vanna's level. Now.
I think this is what happens though with this show. You like, you
get a few successes under your belt and you start just being intolerable. It
happened to Carl Maria too. Yeah, but I will always love her.
Some people have turned her like Wes was intolerable. He turned it back around
somehow. Yeah, so maybe he can push through it. But it's right
now by some how, By somehow, you mean by teaming up with Johnny,
No, yeah, that's what That's what I meant. All right,
Well, we get Corey's talking to or No, Kylon talks to Michelle and
tells her that Jay's popping off, and she's She then goes and talks to
Jay, and it's like, dude, you need it. Slow your fucking
role, because I think she's really you can see it, she's real tired
of his his antics. But I don't understand how she doesn't seem to get
that you tied yourself to this person. Like it shows up a little bit
later in this episode that she does finally seem to understand it, but she
tied herself to this person at the very beginning, like yeah, everything that
he does is gonna reflect on you, doesn't matter. M Yep, he's
horrible. Yep. Then the countdown climber timer turns on and it starts count
down from twenty four hours and it's dark outside and oh my gosh, people
just losing their mind at a clock. Yeah, did you guys catch it?
It showed it for like three seconds, Michelle counting down with the timer.
She's like forty one, forty. I was like, that thing's counting
for twenty four hours, Michelle, how long are you going to stand there
like that yelling out numbers? Cut to like twelve hours, She's yawning thirty
five, thirty four. It was very weird. It's like, why start
counting down, Michelle, There's no endgame here. M we do Okay.
So this was the Jay and Michelle sit down with Nourice and because they want
to try and kind of bring her back into the fold and figure out what
happened last episode. Jay does a great job, very diplomatic, fucking gaslights
the ship out of both of them. I was, I was very proud
of Nourice and Maurice sat there and she goes, you know, why are
you blaming this whole stalemate thing on me? We all had an equal chance
to change it. You could have changed your answer. If he wanted to
be mad at anybody, he should have been mad at that. Yeah,
Ed is the one that could have fixed it. Yes, yes he is,
but it kind of feels like Ed is a man and he's not gonna
do that because Nouris is a woman, and he feels that he can fuck
that around. Yeah, Nourise doesn't have many good points in this world that
I found, but this is a good one for her, you know,
Like it wasn't just me, Like, why am I taking the brunt of
it? Yeah? Yeah, Like I'm not the only person on this team.
There are men, any other people who could have changed their votes.
They Why are you going after me just because you're pissed that your boyfriend went
home? Sorry, that was rude. It wasn't me. I know,
You're fine. You're not always out of me this season, that's what.
That's what he's acting like. He's acting yea his husband, he really is.
He's acting worse than that, though, because we have seen that in
past challenges. We have seen relationships where one goes home. We've seen siblings
where people go home and he is so upset. Yeah, but it also
feels very inauthentic. I just don't buy jay this. I just don't buy
it. I don't know, it just doesn't seem real to me. We
didn't believe him when he was bawling his eyes out the night before. Tim
No so much so he defended him to Kylon in the house, because man,
are you it flattened about somebody talking about their wife and their kid.
God, but he said that. I was like, you really, it's
posing shit right. Everybody else has that same impression. And this is not
this is the first time he's ever acted like this. It is what him
trying to act big and bad. It's him trying to act like he's running
the house, right, which in a way he kind of is, but
it just I think Michelle is running the house. And so that's the other
part of this conversation is that Nourice is finally like, no, fuck this,
I'm not doing I'm not having this conversation. I'm not gonna let you
blame me for all of this, blind lad, Like that's not okay.
So she gets up and walks away, and Michelle's kind of like, dude,
you need to calm down, and he immediately is like, uh,
I'm the reason why you're still here. I'm the one who's been protecting you.
I'm the only reason why you're still around, and she just looked at
him because, excuse me, shut the fuck up. I'm the reason you
are still here. Like, you're right, She's the one who's playing the
political and social game correctly, at least in that pair playing it correctly,
like she is the reason why he has not had his ass beat by half
the time. Yes, I liked this debate because Michelle is right. She
knows she's right, and I think even j knows she's right because Jay didn't
say much else, Like, I mean, that seemed like the end of
it. Michelle said what she needed to and that was over. Joe wants
to know of everybody playing this season, not not vets as Jay played the
most seasons. Uh no, Big T, Oh, really is that true?
Yeah? With the most seasons? And I think I think Melissa came
in second. Interesting. I would have thought Jay was up there though.
Isn't this like his fifth season or something? Fifth or sixth? Really?
Because Big T was it like six because they mentioned that in like episode one
or two, and I made mention of it then because I found it very
strange that out of this whole cast, she was the one who'd played the
most seasons. Yeah, yeah, I thought Jay was more than that.
I thought this was just fifth or sixth interesting. But yeah, So we
also get we get a quick clip of Zara and Raven and this is yet
again, this is like the second or third time that this has happened.
Zara and Raven are talking about how they're the two strongest girls in the house,
and I am really confused as to how they think that Raven is one
of the strongest people in this house. Yeah, every time Raven's on my
screen, I think, oh, yeah, I forgot Raven was here.
Yeah, she has won a bunch of challenges, but it's because she's been
on the winning team. She hasn't done anything to actually win. Like one
of the one of the challenges was the one where they were standing in the
tower telling people where to park cars. She didn't even do it. She
just stood there the whole time. She couldn't like Michelle was the one with
who's the mouth piece up there? Like, she literally stood there the whole
team the whole episode. Joker brings up, hasn't she won eliminations? She
has, but I still just I don't understand how she's considered one of the
strongest people in this house. But that might just be my own bias.
Who knows it gives her credit in the house. Joker says, yeah,
yeah, I guess probably does. I also forgot that James and Mariah were
even in this game. There's too many people in this game. Well you're
in luck to Tim. Yeah, it's like we're gonna get at least two
people going home every episode. Good, yeah, good, that's what we
need. Um oh and James, Like, we get this little clip of
James and Mariah and James saying that his connection with Mariah is real. So
Zach, you have some homework by the end of this episode with your social
media bit. I would like to know what's between them now, if that
really was real, how will look came to that? Thank you? I
bet they I bet they haven't spoken since they left the house. I wouldn't
be surprised. We are onto the challenge. Oh god, damn it.
Sorry kind of sprung it on you. What On the subject of James,
though, Carling, can I get your impression on this. When we see
James with his hair pulled back and like a ponytail, he looks like skis
ball trash to me. But when he's in his confessionals and he's got like
the long flowing hair and it's soft and it's down, I think he's strikingly
handsome. Am I right? Or am I? Is this me being like
a like an a soft guy? Did you buy chance check out the Facebook
page in the last like three or four days. No, is I super
wrong about the CTA. So yeah, yeah, like I've been universally wrong
so far. That's why I want to test my theory. Do I have
a point to this or am I study? I think that you are in
love with James and awesome because of because of the hair. Yeah, I
think it's absolutely nothing to do with the person themselves. I'm kind of just
putting it. I'm just putting it together myself. I think that might be
true. CET's got good hair too, it's just not as not as long.
I was going to bring it up later, but since we're here,
since since Tim did not go on the Facebook group, Heather took her took
it upon herself in thank you very much for doing that, Heather, that
was very nice of you. Thanks Heather. Does she put does she pick
a flattering picture? Though? For asof there's no pictures. Literally is just
a poll, all right? And she asked who is the most objectively attractive
competitor still in the house. A lot of people took issue with rewarding on
this, which the person leave their personality out of your opinion and the house
voted for Horashio in the lead. I completely forgot about him. I listened
back to the episode and realized that I didn't even mention him when we did.
When I did my ranking of all the guys that were still in there,
totally forgot about him and ct CT came in second, very close second.
So it was thirty nine percent said Horatio, thirty seven percent said CT,
sixteen percent said ed oh wow, okay, five percent said awesome,
and then one percent said Jay, James and Corey Okay, you're very wrong.
Well, I'm not last. I would have been like fifth place.
You were still very wrong. No, I know, I'm okay with that.
I'm comfortable with that. But do I have a point with the James
thing? Is hair down James more attractive than hair up James? Yes,
hair down is definitely more attractive than hair up. But I think you are
in love with these people because of their hair. I think that you're I
think you're right. Yeah, I can't fight that anymore. I No,
that's true. Joker wants to know is James a bad guy or is he
unlikable because of Mariah. I didn't like him in the first few episodes when
he was a cocky dipshit agreed, and now that he is just pussy whipped
and doing everything that Mariah tells him to do, I still don't like him.
I don't think he's a bad guy though. I think he's just a
douchebag dude. Bro. That's tough because I feel like I could really like
him if he played his own game. I think he's stupid. I think
he's real stupid. And that hair is fake, by the way, really
like Kyle fake. Yeah, he's like the Yeah, he's like Kyle.
He like posts pictures and shit all over, so he like he's one of
these guys. You know. You know people go to Turkey now, men
go to Turkey for hairplants. It's like the hair and plant capital of the
world. Yep, he went to Turkey. Did I lose audio again?
All right, well we're at the challenge. We already played the sounder,
so uh. TJ announces that they are in uh conquest. I just forgot
the thing, Jack, Yes, you did lose audio. TJ says that
they are now playing this game as individuals. The prize pot is sitting at
three hundred and sixty five thousand dollars and He doesn't mention anything here about being
able to raise that prize pot, and I don't remember if he mentioned anything.
He said, that is what you'll be competing for in my final Okay,
that's so they mentioned. I don't know. I can't remember if they
mentioned it during an episode to the players or if this was just like in
a preview or what, because I thought that it was they could earn money
first bit, second bit, they could lose money, third bit, they
had to keep it, but there were also still chances to gain some more,
not that I remember so, and I may have just made that up.
I don't actually know. But yeah, he does say that they are
competing for three hundred and sixty five thousand, which is a significant dip from
the five hundred k that they were going to go to. I was just
gonna say, this is a lot lower than what we've seen in the last
I mean, since thirty thirty. Yeah, it seems like it's been half
a mil ish. We can hear you, Zach. Yeah, Zach humbly
request that if you drop again, please just stay drop nothing, no offense.
I'm just worried about the audio. We used the audio again, you
know, Okay, I drop again. I'll do that, all right.
But also Carlin, real quick, I found a statement from Mariah and uh
Ryan James said they're still best friends. They talk every day, but they
decided the distance is too much. Who could have seen that coming? Who
could have guessed that? You know, you never really know what that's like
until you move fourteen hours apart. And then it's like Carlin when he when
he moved back to Australia. You probably never put it together that, oh,
this might be a challenge. Oh well he didn't move. He just
well you know what I mean. But yes, yeah, never thought that
would be a challenge. Wait, you live in different continents. How could
you predict that that would be an issue? Easy? Yeah? Yeah,
however, all right, so the challenge is called Dark Tide. It is
a night challenge played in the which I kind of love. Usually it's a
good it's a good name. Yeah, it is even even like forget the
challenge. Just someone's like dark Tide and they're like, ooh that sounds creepy.
Well, and it was cool. We don't see night challenges much,
but this one was kind of cool, like with the lights and stuff to
kind of I like this one because they there were lights. There were some
lights on the things, which I'm sure was part safety, part game,
but there weren't like big giant lights up above them showing what they were working
on and where they were at. And I was really happy to see that.
Like it the moment that they got dumped off the well, I'll get
here. I'll explain the game. The game is played in three different rounds.
Five people at a time are seated on these two platforms hanging off the
sides of a speedboat. As the speed gid boat comes up to the course,
it drops them off the sides of these platforms. They then have to
swim from where they get dropped to a paddle board and then take the paddle
board to three different station, three different booi's, and pick up three different
sized rings. Once they've got all three rings, they have to get to
shore and toss the rings onto a pole. And as soon as they make
their first ring on the pole, their time is finished. Yeah, when
they get dropped off the When the first group got dropped off of the speedboat,
it got real dark almost immediately. Oh, this is great, This
doesn't happen normally. Usually they're all kinds of lights everywhere, so I really
appreciated that. Yeah, it was cool. And I see spans online talk
about they don't like it when you can't see all the action. When that's
like, you know, things are cut too quickly or shot weirdly and you
can't see what's going on. I think this one was this benefited from not
seeing it exactly, like you just sort of see colors in the background at
different distances, and I don't know, I thought it was kind of a
cool If this is in the daylight, I don't think this would looked as
interesting to me. Well, I think it would just look like any other
challenge, And I think it just added an l meant of like, oh,
this is kind of fun a little bit of mystery to it, which
I liked. Uh TJ does give everyone the warning that if they cannot do
this, then they will not be able to do the final So I think
that there is going to be a very long, very big leg that's going
to be in the water. Will say, it seems like there's almost always
a water leg, so I wouldn't they have not a water leg in a
while, Like War of the Worlds was entirely in the desert. They they've
had quite a few where they have not had water at all. Yeah,
they've also had quite a few without any eating. I hope you have eating
well. He so when they did the eating challenge earlier this season, he
again said something similar to this, which makes me think that those are going
to be two parts of it. Yeah, yeah, been big part of
the finals for a long time. Yep. He then drops the bomb of
if you come in last place during the challenges in Conquest, you are automatically
purged from the game. Good, finally, right, finally finally, And
they they said that this is the individual portion of the game. Though,
does that mean that every challenge from now it is going to be all individual
no more? I believe, so teams and stuff? Okay, good,
that's the impression that I got. Good, I hope so. Yeah,
m oh, I just lost my place in my notes. Sorry. Raven
almost rounds. Yeah, so Jaye doesn't know how to do the thing.
We get to the game. Mariah's really worried because she doesn't like water very
much. Nourise is super worried. Nourice, Raven, Mariah. Quite a
few people did not do very well with the paddle boarding thing. They could
not seem to get the paddle boarding down. Uh before Yeah, I noticed
at one point in time Raven was like Holy, her paddle upside down with
one hand and like trying to I don't know what she was. It was
very odd. I'm like, that's that doesn't that's not intuitive. I don't
understand how you're doing that. But I think there's just some people We've talked
about on the show a lot. There's some people that just get it,
like they're athletic, they just sort of understand the physics in sort of a
natural way. And then there's some people that just cannot get it and and
will not and I think Raven's one of those can't get it. Gotcha Well,
So of the three rounds, the first place winners were Horacio, Kylind
and Ed and all three of them seemed to just kill this challenge. And
then the losers were Raven, Mariah, and Oh I lost the last way
to go, uh Berna. Berna just seems to have just like she just
happened to be the slowest of that of that heat. She didn't seem to
have any real problems, but Mariah and Raven really had a tough time trying
to get the paddle board to move the way that they wanted it to.
Goose Fors said in the chat room. Apparently Kylon's heat meant first and production
put the lights on the wrong side of the paddle boards by mistake. That
heat finished before anyone realized what had happened, and then production fixed it for
the next two heats. So Kylon was top three rowing a backwards paddle board,
just a minor mistake that, of course had no effect on the game
whatsoever. The wrong side of the paddle boards, you know, I don't
understand what he means. He was on the paddle board backwards. Yeah,
but why why does it matter where the lights were at? Because I think
they put the lights on a certain side to like tell the players which sides
in front, which side of the back, Like, oh, okay,
I was thinking left or right, And he wrote his paddle board backwards,
and goose Force is pointing out there was such a dramatic, you know,
gap between who ends up winning this competition. Yeah, you know, letting
them redo it wouldn't been part of the plan, since you know, wouldn't
have made a difference. Well, yeah, it was. So we get
down to the end, and as always it's separated by seconds. The last
place players were Mariah and Raven and Mariah is they're both on the edge of
tears. I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to Mariah's nos job is
distracting. It is it's like a straight up like Isaucily's triangle in the middle
of her face. She has a nose. It's very well, no,
it's it's very pointed and very like the tip of it is very tiny,
and it's just distracting to me. I've never looked at her face, so
I have, and I agree with you. I feel weird about saying these
things because I just it's thereby they can do whatever they want. But Zara,
I feel the same about her lips. It's these women, it's this
and the men too probably have like it's a weird like it's a it's a
mental yeah. It's for a lot of the guys. It's the teeth,
yeah, and the hairlines as we as we discussed, and they take steroid.
The men are definitely taking steroids for similar reasons. It's like a body
dysmorphia thing or something. Oh, I was listening to a side tangent real
quick. I was listening to a podcast on my way home today and they
they were talking about a picture from an article that came out that was in
like a I don't know, Cosmo or something like that in ninety seven.
And it's a picture of Mariah Carey and the the caption on it is like
fat thighs or something like that, and she like it goes on to this
like, oh, her porky thighs. And I can't believe that she even
had the she was even willing to get up there. And she's just like
a She's in a very short dress and she is maybe like at max A
size four. She is tiny. But you look at this picture and they
were they were complaining about her thighs and like, I don't even think her
thighs would touch if she put her legs next to each other. I think
it was the nineties. Everybody wanted the Kate Loss heroine loss heroin. She
yea. But I mean we wonder why this, why, especially in this
day and age, have such massive boss and body dysmorphia. It's all gross,
it is. I think it's very sad. I feel I feel horrible
for what these people have done to their bodies. Yeah. Yeah, so
I know that I shouldn't have said it, and you know, if she
can then she can have it. But it just I found it very distracting.
Uh yeah, Ultimately Raven is the one who loses. Good riddance.
Bye. I was bummed because okay, yeah, all right, not with
you. I thought you were abummed to see to see Raven. Okay,
I don't really care about Raven. And I wondered Mariah to go home because
it would have blown up a lot of stuff that happen in this episode.
Yes, it would have absolute. That was why I wanted her to go
home too, because that that side of the house would have lost a number
rather than the smaller side of the house, and they would have lost a
number who seems to be like a big player in the background. Yeah,
it's like Raven. It seems like she had zero impact on the game,
right or is this just me not even realizing who she is? Well,
she started she started switched sides, which helps. Yeah, but I mean
she was kind of flipping flopping all season. Yeah, it was it was
more like she was the one that always said she was gonna but never actually
did it. Right. Yeah, but yeah, so Raven goes home and
then first place when it's you know, these guys absolutely killed it. They
were the absolute top. I can't remember if he said in this one it
was cut by a few seconds, but I'm sure they cut that on the
on the cutting room floor. It was between Ed and Harassio. And again
because I really didn't want the big Alliance to win. I was really hoping
that Harassio had won. But Ed wins and yeah, I mean, good
for Ed, but I hate that that alliance won yet again, I do
too. And I thought Ed might be a little bit of a wild card
because what he did, because by you know, with tying it up and
stuff, I thought Ed would be like, this is your shot, Ed,
like you can do you can? Yeah, you can. You can
shake the house up a bit. Yeah. Whoever, whatever alliance he picked
is his first pick. That's who would have won the draw, you know,
And it's yeah, it's always that way. Yeah. So TJ then
tells Ed the nominations are going to be a little different. Ed is going
to have to save someone, and then that person is going to have to
save someone, and so on and so forth until they end up with three
people and those three people are going to be taken away and compete in a
private elimination. Congrats, MTV, you introduced a game mechanic. I actually
really really like Well maybe you can remember what season was this played on,
because they did this in another in another season the Due. Yes, yeah,
I don't like this at all, you know, I don't know if
we want to talk about it now, Yeah, why don't you like it?
At the end of the show? No, tell me why you don't
like it so specifically? Now, no matter what, uh, unless Hiratio
or Kylon win, they're going to get swept out of this game. So
it's going to be super boring and for the entire rest of the season unless
they get a wild card winner who can shake it up, you know.
Yeah, and was that wildcard winner league? Yeah, him or Colleen,
And Colleen's not gonna win. Then if Hirasio and Kylon go home, guess
but a guess who's gonna try to eliminate as many women as possible because we've
seen that happen on multiple seasons of the show. And since it's not gender
divided, anybody, can you know, pick whoever they want, They're gonna
start coming up with plans like, well, let's pick it so it's all
so it's three women in the elimination, so none of us guys have to
go. So they're gonna fuck over as many people as they possibly can,
which I know is the point. But they're gonna make it as boring as
possible until the end of the episode to end of the season, and once
all the enemies are gone, they're gonna try to start kicking out all the
women. Yeah, because that's how this show, unfortunately works. I don't
know. I see your point, Wolfe, and I could see it going
down that way. I guess. I hope. I hope that there's somebody
at some point during this line, like a Colleen or somebody says yeah,
of course I'll vote the way you tell me to. But then she doesn't.
She like mixes it up and does something else. There's an opport unity
for somebody to kind of fuck something up. Whether one we'll see that or
not. I guess we don't know, but I hope we don't. Yeah,
but then people people had and you know we're jumping ahead, people had
viable options. Colleen could have been like fuck this group. Yeah, she's
been saying for the past five episodes. Yeah, and still didn't do anything
Like there were times where Burnham was saying, fuck this group, like,
yeah, there's I agree. I think I think that this elimination method or
this uh nomination method would have been beneficial, like maybe in Chaos or in
the first thing in this in the season, whatever it was, I don't
remember anymore. Conquer. Yeah, you think it's too late. The lines
are drawn line so heavy too. Yeah, i'd I don't know if it
will go like for an all Man's final though, because you're telling me a
figure of her Ato and Kylon the Jade's gonna want to run against them Manuel
and add in the final against instead of like you know, Nourics or Mariah.
Well, I mean, they may end up start going, Okay,
who's at the bottom of our alliance? Guess what that's Colleen, Guess what
that's Burnot, Guess what that's. Yeah, I think that they're gonna be
the women try and get them out more than the men. But I mean
they could. But I feel like, I mean, as much as I
dislike Jay right now, I would like to believe he's smart enough to be
like I would rather run a final against Colleen than against ed. I think
someone that you would think that someone like Johnny Banas would think that same shit,
but he still wants to get all of He many years ago wanted to
get all the women out. They all did. It's just how it is.
They they perceived the weaker players as the women, and they want to
get the women out because of that, and no one thinks about how,
oh I should probably keep them so that I can go only against weak players.
And they did it. They've already done it this season. Yeah,
when there was no like it's a guy's days a girl's day, They're all
like, well, let's make it a girl's day. Everybody vote for a
girl. So I mean they've already started. Yeah, But also think the
strategy of who you eliminate in targets a lot different in the beginning of a
season versus like right before a final. I mean, but it's all these
people are stupid. Yeah, I still don't think that they're going to try
and get out. I think they tried to get out the top players in
this episode because all three of those top players were on the other alliance.
Yeah, which I guess we can continue. I don't know. I just
think like and I know Kylin Prossen said that, I think once they're gone,
everyone in that majority alliance is turning on Ed first and foremost. I
think Ed's first one gone. I guess we'll see. I think the sending
home the last player too for the next several rounds is that could potentially change
the big game in a big way. I think I think if Jay went
home this time instead of Raven, you know, yeah, I mean Mariah
was in the second to last place. Yeah, there was a legitimate chance
that she could have gone home. Yep. That would have really shaken up
their alliance. Yeah, so that can really change if one of the big
alliances get sent home and then one of the small alliance wins. Like the
numbers are really like that shifts Thumber, that could shift you know, so
what see. Yeah, and Raven tweeted out during the episode that during her
heat one of her rings got caught in a wave and drifted away and so
she had to spend like thirty to forty seconds chasing after it. So had
that not happened, Mariah possibly goes home. Interesting, Well, we get
back to the house, but wait, we're not at the house. We're
on a day out on a boat, so instead of club night, we
get boat day, which is not really anything. We're on it for a
few minutes and then they get back at the house. Thanks for a great
audio when people are trying to talk to each other and you just hear like
like in the background the whole time. Yeah, I gotta tell you,
guys, sound of the wind. I watched this episode twice. I do
not remember them being on a boat really. No, was it Nourise and
Olivia. Yeah, they're they're talking. They're having a big conversation about what
they're gonna do. And then nurisas like, even though my brother, even
though my brother said that she's talking about me, I'm gonna choose to trust
her. And that's when they're like, oh, I got your back on
the really solidify their alliance. How did you miss that whole time idea two
or three minutes in the middle of the episode, no recollection. Yeah,
and I watched it twice. I don't know. Michelle also during this episode,
during this section of the episode, says that her like, there's a
scene of her hugging Jay that is way too long. I'm saying that,
you know, I've always got your back, and then she does. In
her little talking head, she says that her and Jay's issue are purely communication
based. I'm like, aren't most issues communication based? Yeah? I think,
yeah, I think. I don't think that's a flex in the way
that you think it is. Yeah, they're not hitting each other. Yeah
right, it's just Yeah, things have come out of these people's mouths.
I think everybody's hating on Jay, and I think Michelle's trying not to.
But I bet he's acting like a douche, I know. But I bet
Michelle's hating on Jay too. She's just trying to say nice things or something.
So yeah. Then we're back at the house. We get James and
Mariah fucking in a pool, getting all cuddly, and Mariah talking about how
he's sweet and cuddly. I don't I don't care. Yeah, I don't
care either. Yeah that's James Murray. I think, not invested in this
relationship, do not care. It annoys me so much because I feel like
James is someone that, like, I could really really like and root for
if he wasn't like just following Mariah's lead blindly. Why what is it about
him that you like? He just seems like such a nice guy, and
I feel like he's a decent athlete, and if he just you know,
like had a mind of his own and was like, as, when is
he shown that he is both nice and a decent athlete, Like he gassed
the fuck out in his elimination, and almost every talking head that we've gotten
from him that isn't saying something along the lines of how Mariah is my only
ally now and I'm going to do everything she says. He's talking shit about
everybody else because when he's talking about Maria, he just seems like he's just
such a nice, lovely man. Yes, and we talked about it last
week. Did he Yes, he got down his elimination, But then we
said he killed it in that mini final, like he did not guess out.
Yeah, he didn't guess out in the mini final. But I still
think that that's probably because his team was going at the pace that works for
him. But yeah, athletically, I don't know. I'm just not invested
in him. The only thing I know about him is that he hooked with
Mariah. I couldn't tell you, yeah, a single thing about him other
than that. Yep, Yeah, I'm so I'm just gonna say, maybe
it's just I'm deceived by his uh his beautiful good looks, but like kind
of just like most of the guys they're like, no them, like that's
a good competitor, but like someone like a Cory or j I feel like
if I see him versus them, verse j or James in a like elimination,
I'm just gonna assume that James is no window because he looks like you
should. Yeah, but there are plenty of guys who have over the years
have looked like they should fail miserably. That's true. James is not that
much bigger than Corey. He's a little more cut looking, but I think
they're about similar size. Remember Roganrogan, Yeah, yeah, he died on
that mountain. Yep. His back tends seizing up before he even got to
the top. Yep. And yes, says they all lose to Jordan,
All these beefcakes lose to Jordan, who doesn't look particularly beefy. Yeah no,
he does not, Rogan. I'm into his credit and his gameplay.
He does hold the he holds the record for being the first Brit out and
also the first brit to ever win. Yeah, so good for him.
We need a Rogan really. Yeah, there was someone put a clip of
the Rogan versus Jay elimination from a few years ago when Rogan just absolutely smashed
him into the ground, like picked him up and threw him on the ground.
Yeah, that was back when I liked Jay and when I felt really
bad about about the Rogan elimination. But the show needs villains, and Jay
is a bad villain. Like he just makes me mad. Rogan was a
great villain because he, like, I don't know, he just loved it.
You could tell he just owned it and he was into it and it
didn't give a shit because he was funny with it and he was funny and
self aware. Wess has made such a good villain over the years. That's
why Johnny Bananas has made such a good villain over the years. Yeah,
because they're funny with it and they don't take it too seriously. Yeah,
Jay take notes. Jane needs notes. I think Jay Price seriously thought he
was the hero of the story at the time this was filming. Oh one
hundred percent. Yeah, somebody else says it. I forget who says it
in this episode, but somebody says, like, oh, the power is
going to Jay's head. It's even the house sees it. I think.
Yeah. So there's a lot of talk about the how the nominations are going
to go in this next little bit, and the big Alliance kind of plans
it all out, and they and I think Jay came up with the idea
of we want Harasio, Kylin, and Zara to be the last three in
there, and I want to make Nourice be the person who chooses between her
best friend Olivia and her boyfriend Horassio, which is a real dick move.
Smart though, I mean it's smart. It is smart. But for someone
who at the beginning of this game was in such a tight alliance with this
woman and who was supposed to be such a good friend of hers to then
pull this shit, it's like, God, you just look like an asshole.
Yeah, dick move, Yeah, super dick move. But it is
smart. I'm not gonna lie. It's very smart. It doesn't give him
I don't think it gives quite the payoff that he was looking for, because
I think he was thinking that Hirasio was gonna be really upset if he didn't
get picked. But yeah, and I guess this is the bad part too.
About this when there's just kind of two big alliances and you do this
pick pick pick thing. Yeah, they were able to perfectly orchestrate three people
going into elimination, which is sort of a bullshit thing. And I hope
somebody throws a wrench into that, into that plan at some point. Yep.
So we're on denominations. Oh shit, m h uh. TJ pops
up at the house while everybody's just chilling at the pool. Always bad news
when TJ comes around. Yeah, but this was this was like, okay,
bad news and this is this is like old school too. Yeah.
TJ used to show up and then they would do the who's going into elimination?
Ye. I always liked that. It's fun seeing TJ at the house,
just because it kind of sets everybody on edge. Yeah, it's kind
of weird that this time we took him like into a forest. Yeah,
it was a weird fucking place to do that. I think it's the same
place they've been doing their nominations. Has been sitting down that home time,
and this time they were standing. It made it seem so much weirder.
I don't know why. Yeah, so he takes him over there and ed
starts it and he says, you know, I got saved last week,
and the other guy that was down there with me the could have potentially gone
in was Emmanuel, so I'm gonna save him. And I found this kind
of Strangeca's normally they do normally it's forced guy girl, like you have to
go male female. But I did notice that they didn't pick more than two
in a row. So it wasn't like two or three guy. It wasn't
three guys in a row. They did two guys in a row one point
in time, and then switch to a woman. So I wonder if that
was the like you can do two guys, you cannot do three. You
have to pick. It has to somewhat be switched back and forth. Yeah.
Interesting, okay, but yeah, it goes off without a hitch,
exactly like Jay One wanted it to. And ultimately it ends up being Nourise
having to pick between Harasia or pick between everyone who's down there, and it's
Kylon, Harasio, Olivia, and Zara, and well before this, Nurie
is down there and James is the one who picks Nourie, and Zara is
completely convinced that j is going to pick her because they've been in an alliance
since the beginning of the game is they're the Brits. And then James picks
Nourice and Zara is completely blindsided and Maurice is really pissed because she now has
to pick. And this is where we've talked about this before. Hirasio kind
of you know, trying to when he said thank you for throwing him into
elimination, all that sort of thing. This is one of the times that
I didn't feel like it was insincere when he told Maurice, pick one of
the girls. Don't pick me, pick one of the girls. You're given
too much credit. I think this is the same amount of sincerity as the
rest of it. He says the shit like he says the like the boy
scout stuff. That's who Harassio is. Yeah, and it's just I don't
know, now, I just kind of roll my eyes. I think I
just appreciated him even saying it. I've never had a problem with Hirasio's boy
scout stuff, No, until this season, where it just seems like that's
all he is, that's the that's all that exists. He's been on two
seasons. Yeah, that's enough. That's enough from him. I guess technically
one and a half. Yeah, but see this is what I like.
I've said this before. He works as a side character. I like him
in that role, as the side character of like, oh look at bananas.
He's a big fucking garbage man. And then Harassio is the boy scout.
I like that. I don't like him as a main character. I'm
bored. I'm bored of him. Yeah. I think it's because we also
see a love interest there, but it's so PG that it doesn't feel like
it. Yep. So ultimately, in a reasons of picking Olivia and we
have Zara, Harassio, and Kyland going into the elimination exactly what they wanted.
Son of a bitch, they got what they wanted. Smug face.
O god, he's sitting on the couch. Yeah. Oh, this is
when he says that he isn't playing this game with emotion and immediately goes into
explaining why he decided that Maurice and Olivia needed to go down there, and
it was because they didn't care about him and the Lea alliance. Like that's
you're telling me that you're not playing with emotions, but then you're upset because
the girls don't care about you enough. This guy has no self awareness,
absolutely none. Yeah, you can't have both, can have both? Then
it was earlier. I think he was like talking about how Reice and Olivia
were working with Kylon and whatever. They're so stupid they don't even realize they're
just using them. I'm like, yeah, everybody uses everybody in this show.
Jay, that's how the show works. Moron. Yeah, that guy's
high on his own supply. Man. I hope he watched this season and
just yeah, it's full of regret. Yeah, and he's so sincere about
everything, right, he needs serious crow he just eat his own that too.
To shove a crow up his ass? Need it gross? Ask crows
too far separately? It's okay, combine him it's gross. Yeah. Uh.
Nurie and Olivia are commiserating about how they even got into this position where
they had to pick between the two between each other, not between each other,
where Nuris had to pick Olivia over Hirasio, and how they even ended
up at the very bottom of this list. And Zara is sitting there talking
with him and she's like, I never want to talk to James again.
He backstabbed me. I don't want to talk to him again. He's lost
all myriage, BacT, he's lost my friendship. I don't want it.
Which like he would think that if they were such good friends that he would
have at least come up to her after this and been like, hey,
sorry, But we don't get a scene of that, so I don't know
if that actually happened. Is this where they're actually at the elimination? Are
we not there yet? No, we're going there now. This is afterwards,
when they're sitting on the stair, Sorry came up. Yeah, all
right. There's no name for this elimination. It is just a conquest elimination.
TJ has taken the three players and they have gone off site. He
explains the game as a race. There are three different obstacle courses set up
with puzzles at the end, and you have to once the timer starts,
you have to do all three obstacle courses and finish all three puzzles. You
can do them in any order you want. You can do them if other
people are at that puzzle, you can still go to that puzzle and do
it, and the first person to finish all three is the winner. Or
first two to finish all three stay in the house. Zara says that she's
not the brightest cookie in the joke, which made me laugh. Yeah.
Once she said she's not good with the number. It's not good with a
puzzle. It's like, all right, say Azara, Yeah, I know
you're fast, but this is three puzzles in a row, and that's the
thing. Like she said that she's fast, but then immediately off the starting
line, the guys beat her by a solid, like a good twenty thirty
feet Yeah, which doesn't sound like a lot, but yeah, she was
already behind from the very beginning. Yeah, not to jump to the end,
but I'm good anyway. It ultimately wasn't close. I don't think The
two guys finished and Zara had just barely started her sudoku. She needed another
like ten minutes, you know. Yeah, I think her. I think
her One of her big mistakes was doing the easier puzzles first, Yeah,
and not doing the harder puzzle first, because you're exhausted by the time you
get to the harder puzzle. You have also you also have the added bit
of the guys are going through the easier puddle. The puzzles and finishing than
the faster and together and together so really quickly. The puzzles are. One
of them is a number puzzle that kind of it's set up kind of like
Sudoku, but all of the rows and columns have to equal forty five.
You can't have a repeating number in a rower column. The second puzzle is
three concentric circles that have letters on them and you have to twist the wheels
twist the circles to complete to make six three letter words that have to do
with the body. And then the third one is you have to rearrange colored
dots so that only one color is in each column on this board, and
the board is a slider board, so you can't pull the dots out,
you have to slide them all around. What do you guys think of this?
I liked it. This is very Survivor esque. Survivor did this for
a long time where it's like everybody just kind of goes to these little stations
and whoever beats all the stations first. So I like that. I like
puzzles. I like races. This is sort of like a mini Final esque.
There's some endurance, there's some speed, there's some puzzles logic, no
big complaints. It seems pretty fair gender wise, Like I think men and
women can compete against us pretty fairly. I don't like that the two men
teamed up like that seems a little uh not super fair, but I wasn't
super thrilled with that either. I Also, I think the only thing that
I the only real complaint that I have about the game is that the letters
one, the one where you had to sell spell out three in the letter
words about the body, seemed really easy. Yeah, Like I feel like
they needed to have something that was a little bit more that it took a
little bit more brain power. Yeah. Do you guys like that they isolated
everybody away from the house? I do. Yeah, Well I can take
it or leave it. Yeah. I always like when they do the isolated
eliminations because you can you get the chance of people like really freaking out the
rest of the house. Yeah, And I always find that entertaining. One
of the things I appreciated in this episode, and they better keep doing it,
is not doing that ship where it's like, oh, it's so close,
and then they just cut back to the house and we don't see the
free until somebody comes walking up and they're like, who is it? And
then they show like a flashback. Yeah, that's what they done in Fresh
Meat. Yeah, yeah, I don't mind that. I don't mind that
any fuck off. I don't mind that either. I know you hate the
flashbacks. Well, fee you got a thing that you get, yeah,
a thing against flashbacks. It's just like, if you're gonna tell a story,
tell a story, yeah, don't don't come up with like bomb shell,
here's what actually happened five minutes ago. I wish I don't. I
don't mind it if they show you the person arriving at the house in the
same episode, but if they do a cliffhanger and don't show you until the
beginning of the next episode. Oh something just happened. Yeah, you flashed
for a second, but you're back. Yeah, okay, it's all right,
patrons. Yeah, I don't mind if it all happens in the same
episode, But if they do that cliffhanger where you don't find out until the
next episode, that's when it annoys the fuck enemy. Yeah. I just
hope at some point it's going to be the two losers go home, you
know what I mean, only one winner only one person comes back in Conquest
to go think that's going to happen? Do you want that plus a purge?
Yeah? Yeah, we gotta do it. What I'm doing, Tim
just wants the final, like the next episode to be Is there thirteen people
still in this season thirteen and there's there's five episodes left, so you figures
like six go to the final? We got seven people to get out in
five episodes. I think usually we have usually we have people in that last
okay, eight people right before the final, and then they purge to right
at the very like the tail end. Yeah, I'm trying to do some
math, so it seems like two per episode is probably what we're gonna get.
A purge in the Conquest, Well said earlier. Yeah, I'm doing
some math myself, Carlin. Is that all right? Exactly? What?
Hey? Can I can? I just do it myself? Thanks? I
guess well. Ultimately the only thing that the only like real hang up on
this whole thing is Zara. In one of the obstacles, there's a mud
pit, and Zara makes the mistake of doing the mud pit before she has
to climb a wooden wall, and the mud keeps her from being able to
climb the wall in a tinily fashion and it also happens to be the number
Sidoku puzzle thing, and so she's, like we've already said she was only
like maybe halfway through when both of the guys got to the end. It
didn't look close. Yeah, I mean I think she needed ten minutes,
like at least probably the wall didn't kill it, the mud didn't kill it.
It was you know, it was. She definitely needed more time on
that one. I did appreciate though, like literally the moment that Kylon went
and put his flag in, he and Horassio immediately went over to start like
started walking towards Zara to uh comfort her for losing. So I appreciated that,
Yeah, Joker said, I personally can't wait to see Jay's reaction to
the fact that his plan to make Nourice choose didn't go as planned and his
plan to eliminate at least one of the two guys he wanted out failed as
well. Yeah, although Jay versus Hoirasio and Kylon is getting boring, like
one of them like somebody's gotta go one. We need to see some movement
in this whatever it is. Yeah, Jane's the guy preferably Yeah, yeah,
t J. Real quick. When when TJ's saying goodbye, like toelln
Zara, goodbye, it was nice having you here. Hepsy again. He
does mention that he thinks Kylon and Horassio were the two best complay competitors in
the house right now, which is pretty high prise. Island's actually done some
stuff like Jay's not done anything. You know, he runs the ship politically,
but I'm not impressed, Like I'm impressed by Ed's performance. Yeah,
Emanuel Kyland, I don't know. Jay's nothing. We should also point out
at the beginning of the elimination, TJ a Zara how she felt. She's
like, I'm never talking to James again. Even wrote it my journal and
TJ's like, in your journal, it's for real. Then then she says
she unfollowed him on Instagram or something, she's going to follow him on Instagram.
I think she was fucking around. She was having a good time.
I think trying fucking around too, because I have checked she is still following
him on Instagram. Yeah, she seemed like she was having made up Since
then, I was just more excited about TJ's reaction about that. I think
he likes Zara. You can always tell the Challengers he likes I think he
really likes her. Yeah, so that's the end of the episode. We
have two people that been Hama's episode. Wooo good. Yeah, hey,

Well, it sounds like a country, right, Seth Shakanstan. It's like
Kazakhstan. Seth Shakingstan. Between you three, Between you three, we got
a country, all right. Hey, nobody's watching this season. Nobody's listening
to us. But reviews help, so leave us some please, yeah,
leave us some reviews. Five stars. Only you can tell us we're actually
awful as long as you give us five stars and Carlin hasn't got enough shit
in the comments. Leave negative ones about Carlin. I'm I'm waiting for the
day she's got to pay her dues man dues. I'm riding way too high
right now, so when it actually comes through, it's just gonna I'm gonna
be on the floor for the next awful Mary at Home just wait, just
wait, curled up in dead, not be able to go to work.
Put me in an oppressive episode. Make Carlin cry. Guys, you know
what to do. She's asking for it. Apple podcasts, horrible reviews,
don't make me cry. You can go over to Spotify and comment on individual
episodes, which Simone did for our last episode. Chimed in and said Emanuel
is not attractive. He looks like Wallauigi in real life. I think he's
attracted to like, you know, if that's your type of dude, Like,
he's got to be upper echelon, you know what I mean, if
you like those types of guys, dirty, tattooed guys. I think he
kind of falls into the porn pirate, the Kyle and Kara and tatted and
dark and mysterious. But people are into that, right, That's the thing.
If Carla and Paully ever break up cars to gain with the Manuel.
Yeah, she seems that they seem they both seem like they smell bad.

then announced the premier date is January twenty ninth. So are you guys interested
in this? Do you care? No? Nope? No, I mean
I do. I know you guys said last week you didn't. I think
it looks good. I see a lot of people commenting on the trailer saying
like I had no interest in the show until I saw the trailer and now
I'm like so excited to watch this. Yeah, but I have a feeling
that it's going to fall into that category if they show us all the good
things on the trailer and then the show itself is shit because there are plenty
of movies that are like that. Yeah, the biggest shocker. I think
people were surprised to see And maybe you guys knew this because I think we
all know that Amanda is a nurse, but you see the apparently she is
a nurse inside of a prison. She did not used to be a nurse
inside. Yeah, she used to work at a dispensary. So the prison
is new. So she's making work man good for her. Wait where is
she living? Right? Is she still in Colorado? As far as I
know what what prison? You'll have to watch the show. And watching the
show, our favorite meatball, Josh has a new trainer, your your favorite
meetball, Well, he is getting He's been trained for the upcoming season by
Jordan himself. Jordan's getting him ready to compete and win a final. I
did see a video of them working out together or something. Yeah. Cool,
All I can see all I can see is the elimination between the two
of them where Jordan just fakes him out three times in a row to play
tugle war. Jordan has one hand and still wins a tug of war against
Josh, one of the biggest guys in the house. You canna say Josh
probably was thirty forty pounds heavier than him too easily and has like three or
four inches on him. Yep, and Jordan has and an extra hand.
Yeah, Jordan has one hand and one that do you think Jordan pats him
on top of their head and then yes, Josh, soon you'll win your
second elimination. No, he's won two eliminations. They were both. They
were back to back. Yeah, they were back to back only because of
the woman that he was paired with. He with Amanda. No, this
a differen season I'm thinking of. Yeah, the season that he was with
a Manda. They didn't do ship. Yeah, he won against who he
beat Michi or somebody super shitty like throwing the balls and something like that.
Josh and Peanut, Butter and Nicole are going at it on Instagram again.
I'm going at it in a good way or a bad way. In a
bad way, fighting with each other. You said, you said elimination or
challenge, so he said, he said going out elimination. No, what
did you just sorry? I just had a for Josh. You said elimination
or challenge. Elimination. Okay, so then you're right, he's only got
one. I was thinking challenge. He's got two challenges. Sorry, he's
only Yeah, Okay, Yes, I think we've all heard the rumors that
Nicole cheated on Laurel, but apparently it's come out that, uh, the
person she cheated with was the sister of Jack's Laurel's partner from last season.
Ohio, Yes, what a soap opera it is. But she and Jack's
have only been friends fairly recently. So were they friends when this happened or
Jack not Jack's. It seems like they, I mean, they didn't specify,
but seems like they were friends at the time. It seems like that's
how Nicole met Jack's Jack, is it Jack? Yeah? Okay, I
think Nicol and I like Nicole. I think she's a shitty person though.
Yeah, and apparently, you know, we don't really care about Jack's sister
because we don't know her. But apparently the sister was also married at the
time of the affair. Nicole is this type, right, I mean,
this is who Nicole is. Firefighters, She's chaos. She needs she needs
chaos on her own. Yeah, and she hooks up with the people that
she shouldn't be like. Yeah, she pursues people that are sort of off
limits. There's a she's a firefighter. There's a stereotype around firefighters. Firefighters
and pilots apparently cannot keep it in their pants. Yeah. For her especially,
it seems like she targets chaos, like she tries to break couples up.
She focuses on people that she shouldn't be, Like, I think that's
who she is. Yeah. And then this whole season, we've been debating,
you know, how good is aesof actually playing double agents? A Zara
was on the Official Challenge podcast this past week and according to her that she
and no one on her side of the house had any idea that awes Off
was like playing double agent and reporting back to Jay. He kept a very
secret in the house. Apparently it wasn't that obvious in the house. He
kept a very secret that they were like even like chummy like that. God,
these people almost be blind. They're not very smart. I mean,
we've seen that for thirty nine seasons. Those are all idiots. Yeah,
yeah, you do have to be missing a few screws to be able to
compete on these shows. That's true. And that's pretty much all the social
media news for the week. Yeah, all right, well, thanks everybody.
I guess that's it for this week. I wish I had a quote
set up, but I don't. All right, well, for this episode
of Challenge that has been Brighten Carl in San Diego, Zachie Bananas, I'm
so using to you not being you almost forgot me, how rude? Uh
