Oh my god, this thing is terrible. Wow. Yes, everybody,
I am back. I have come back to save the show. So I
was off one week and apparently it was a train wreck while I was gone.
No, it's fine, it's fine, so much so that I did
not I didn't even listen to the last episode. We held it, we
held it down. It was fine, it was fine, it went fine.
Uh. Hey, everybody, welcome to challenge the podcast all about the
challenge as always. I am Brian sitting across the internet in Germantown, Big
Uncle Sweet Teeth. Unsurprisingly still at work, I said, Zachie Bananas.
But since Wolfe is Captain save a Show, I guess now he's Brian Bananas.
No, no, don't even put that bullshit on me and sitting in
Minnesota. But soon in a week's time to be at Pure Illinois Carlin San
Diego. I almost just said Carmen's hey, we should plug it at the
top of the show that we are live. Next week we'll be doing call
in shows, so everyready mark your calendars. Saturday though, Hey Collin show,
we'll be doing Collins on the twenty Saturday, Yes, the twenty first,
so put that on your calendars boys and girls, and we'll laugh and
uh, are we planning on doing it at seven pm Central? Sure?
Sure? Why not? Hey, everybody, if you're somewhat within driving distins
of purey, I want to show up. You're more than welcome to Tim.
I'll let you sleep on his floor in a cuttle puddle with zach Me.
If you're coming, let us know, because we're planning on doing stuff
all day, seven hours for nothing but drinking some beers. You can't.
You can't be using cuddle, puddle and coming in the same sentence. So
gross. Maybe you can't, but I think most people do. So show
up, hang out with us. Let us know if you're coming, and
you can come hang out with us all day. It'll be a lot of
fun. Yeah, it would be a good time. I don't know.
Was there something else I was supposed to plug? I don't remember. Challenge
pod join us on Facebook, you knowiel a reminder for everybody who's on Facebook,
Spoilers need to wait for twenty four hours. I had to delete a
comment today that was a spoiler at like twelve hours. Carlin bringing down the
Hammer. We've talked about it a few different times about how everybody hates being
spoilt. I don't mind it because I don't really care, but there are
a lot of people out there who don't like spoilers, So just give it
twenty four hours. I gave her mod powers. She's gone gone crazy with
power. To the person to the person who put the spoiler, I did
type in there. They I really appreciated their comment because it was about Josh
going home, but just the heads up it needs to wait twenty four hours.
Well, because it's awesome that he went home. Are As we're talking
about spoilers, I'm gonna literally pat myself on the back. I did spoil
a little bit of my of this season for myself, and I kept it
a secret as to not spill it on the show. But I'm now passed
the part that I was spoiled, So I managed. I got it through
it, guys, I got through It was it who went homes? No,
it was two of the people that made it to the final okay,
and so it has not influenced the season at all until this episode. Was
the stands comment stand once to know? No, it wasn't. I have
a habbit of getting super stoned at bedtime and reading on Reddit and I accidentally
clicked the spoiled thread instead of the unspoiled thread, and I read about half
of it before I was like, oh fuck, yeah, yeah, I
was stoned enough. I forgot most of what I read. I wasn't talking.
I was actually wasn't talking to you, Tim, I was talking to
Carl And Sam wants to know if it was his comment that she deleted.
Okay, there you go. Stop being so self important, Tim. I
can't. I can't. It's too deeply ingrained in me. I really appreciate
it. Stan's comment stany spelled my name right would be a good job.
I like that. But no, it was not his comment. No,
it was one on a on an earlier thread. M all right, Tim,
do you want to jump into what I am labeling as one of the
worst episodes of the Challenge? Oh? My god, same? What so
bad? You guys are nuts so bad? This was a fantastic episode until
the elimination Bush. The elimination was bull Challenge, all right. The channels
was kind of I liked all the politics though. I liked like the politics
and the drama and the game related stuff, the politics of Josh saying I
swear on my grandpa. I will never vote for you. Yeah. I
did really like that. Josh was sort of torn into second time this season
that he has brought up swearing on family members and then fuck so I'm pretty
sure you fuck someone over on the first one too. Well, it's like
he does it like a child. I swear on my grandpa and heaven,
who talks like that. That's a weird fucking thing. You'll say, it's
bizarre, all right. Well, anyway, this is episode thirteen. Hey,
and we're doing this on Friday the thirteenth. Guys, Friday thirteenth,
everybody. This episode's called Trees and for the season. It starts with Cassidy
coming back into the house and people actually seem happy enough to see her back,
and she doesn't seem like she's taking it seriously anymore about having to be
thrown in repeatedly. She's kind of weathered these storms and she's just sort of
over it. So they're like cheersing and having a good time whatever. Yeah,
she actually gets pats on her back, like legit ones that seem genuine,
Yeah, and she seems like she's just sort of unbothered. She's like,
well, I have to do it again, and I think she kind
of knows she's at the bottom. She's probably just gonna keep getting thrown in.
Yeah. I think if Chris said that kind of attitude, he would
get like legitimate people would be much happier with him. Yeah, I think
so too. We get a conversation with Josh talking to Fessi and Corey.
This is when fessis like in the hot tub, if you remember that thing,
and they're like having the weirdest goddamn conversation, like he was in a
bathtub. It was so weird, Like it's weird that he was in the
bathtub, it's weird that they just kept kind of FESSI was complimenting Josh's game
and saying like, you've done more impressive things than me here, and it's
like, God, what the fuck is happening here? I mean, I
don't necessarily disagree, because I feel like Fessei has really flown under the radar
this season. I feel like he got a lot of heat last year or
last season and has kind of been like, oh, maybe I should not
be as much of a tish. Yeah, But then Josh kept saying the
same things over and over again. He's just like, I just I just
feel like I have to make it through this last thing and then I'm in,
and I'm just I'm so close. I'm just tying to have to be
in. He started it with with the nelsonism. Yeah, I didn't care,
you like, we just need to make it through this episode, this
this challenge, and then we're in. Yeah. If I don't get eliminated,
I'm gonna make it to the final. Yeah. I love it when
they say obvious things, but but treat it as if it's like this big
revelation. Hey, guys, I figured it out. I figured out this
game. If I just win eliminations, I can I can make it to
the end. Like, yeah, that's how it works. That's the game
spoiler. And he does it later too. It's like, if I go
into this whole brawl, I gotta run through Festie and finish this puzzle.
It's like, yeah, no, ship, they just told us, Yeah,
well I have. I actually have one of his quotes typed out.
He says, I just have to make it. I just have to get
through this and then we're in the final and that's that's just where I'm at.
It's like, yeah, dude, that's where everyone's at. That's where
every player, everyone watching the show. Everyone is in the same place.
Dude, this guy, Yeah, that's the quote that I was thinking of.
I couldn't remember verbadim, but yeah he said that. My immediately thought,
One, you sound like Nelson and two Tim and Wolf. You are
gonna have a hayday with this. Yeah, he's just such an idiot.
And then he's crying. He's like he needs this money for his family,
and you know why, It's because his parents have worked since he was born.
It's like, yeah, dude, all parents work. I work.
I've worked since my kids are born, too. Are my kids? When
a reality show for me, kay brings up the point of question, didn't
Josh win five hundred k and big Brother? Yeah, he's already won twice
the twice the prize money. Yeah, And I feel like that has also
been brought up in previe seasons where he has said this exact same thing of
I want to win, I want to better my family's life. All that.
Dude, you have already won a game. Yeah. Does he live
in like Miami or five hundred thousands? Is like, yeah, that's good.
Says by the time, you know taxes come out, you got about
three fifty that buys you a house, and then all your prize money's gone
still parents, his parents can live in a house rep free. Yeah,
well no, So think he gets appearance fees for doing this, and then
he gets appearance fees for like this, you know, the supplemental stuff that
he does on the show. I imagine Josh is pretty well off financially.
I would have to assume that. Yeah, and I just I it's just
one of those things where it sounds like he has either completely fucked up with
all of his winnings from his previous show. Stan also points out there's no
state income tax in Florida. Does it mean that if he wins anything then
he doesn't have to pay anything on it? Well, nothing to state.
Still have to pay federal taxes. Yeah. Next we get Corey and Chanell.
Chanelle's doing Corey's hair and they're chatting, and Corey asked the obviously producer
planted question, why do you want to become a champion to Chanel? Hey
Corey, Hey Corey? Or can you we sound by? Can you ask
her what she wants to do? Yeah? Sure, sure thing, boss,
sure thing. So what do you wanna why do you want to win
this money? That's exactly how this had to have gone, right. Nobody
just asked this question like this. It's very weird. Her answer mirrors Josh's
exactly. Family. Family, family. What would your answer be? Tim?
Family? Family? Family? Of course? No, I like listen.
I like Drell's answer When they asked him this, he said, like,
I want to pay it onn RV and I want generational wealth for my
kids. His answer is basically just like, I want the fucking money.
Give me the money, yeah, which is like, that's all you need,
man, I don't need like, we don't need to treat this like
a charity. You can just want the money. Yeah, Welfie, what
would you what would your answer be to this? I want the fucking money.
Yeah, there you go, nothing wrong with that. What about you,
Zach? I want to avoid working a nine to five job for the
next fifteen twenty years and just do this every every couple you know, every
couple of months will be here as krly. I want to pay off my
house and put it all in trust fund. Yeah. I just I want
the money to be able to like make my life slightly easier. Yeah,
everybody is all about like some charitable reason or some bigger reason. It's like,
just take the money. I love my family, I'm not going to
give it to them. I might be like, here's a really exciting expensive
gift, or like, let me take us all on a on a trip.
If I went, you know, five hundred thousand dollars, but ye
like I'm not going to be Yeah, I'd pay my house off and then
still have some left over. I would still have to I'd still have to
work a nine to five and it would blow. Yeah, I take.
The first thing I would do would be go out and get a money manager,
be like, tell me where I need to put this so that it
benefits me the most in the future. I already have one oh no,
no. Friend of mine is a financial advisor, and when I got let
go of my last job and I'd been there for seventeen years, I'd a
pretty sizable four oh one K. So I was like, I want you
to deal with this now. She's like, okay, well, well if
you get that finger ready because we are already onto the challenge. Good news,
guys. Best news of the episode. Mikayla is wearing the shirt again.
She is nut shirt. I'm telling you I have come around her.
She does look at a mudshirt, Yes, she does. She I mean
I thought you looked at the shirt before. She does look really good lunch
shirt. Yep, I didn't. I didn't even notice the shirt. But
now that you mentioned that, I'm like, oh, yeah, she didn't
have it. Zach, what happened to you? What happened to you?
I met Olivia and I saw the best it can be. Oh man,
No, Mikayla. I think Mikayla Edges are out. Frankly, I think
tim edges on Mikayla and Olivia, well that Zack and Wolfe cuddle puddle to
finish it out. I'm just gonna pretend like we're not talking about this.
TJ tells everybody that if they win this challenge, theyre going to the final.
Yay. You guys were not as excited as the challenges were. No,
because this challenge ruins this whole experience and challenge was It was such bulsh
This was a challenge that belonged in the early days of the challenge. Yeah,
this was there was there was there was nothing to this. There's just
nothing. Yeah, we could all do this. That's the issue. We
could all do this. Yeah, I don't disagree. This one's called burst
your Bubble and that you know, you guys saw the episode and I don't
need to explain this thing. Wait, it was called burst your Bubble.
Yeah, and the climb and walk around? How the hell where was the
bubble? They've had some misses on the names this season. I'll tell you.
Oh, I will say, like, it does seem easy, but
for any of us are watching Survivor this season, apparently climbing a rope ladder
can be hard. Legitimately, legitimately a swinging rope ladder like that, that's
got to be a challenging thing. That's got to be hard. That.
It is definitely a hard thing to do. Don't get me wrong there.
It is definitely a hard thing to do to climb a rope ladder and then
walk across a balance beam. Yeah, but this is a game where I'm
expecting them to like, climb a rope ladder, walk across a balance beam,
solve the puzzle, climb on top of the balloon, jump to the
other I want, yeah, I want more than climb and walk. Like
I'm with you, neither of this this is are hard for these people.
This is literally the you have to walk across hot coals to win a million
dollars. This is lam. Yeah. Well, and even even if it
is really hard, it's boring TV. Like, this is not a fun
challenge to watch. It was dog shit to watch. Yeah, and then
you know there is a component of like, this is a TV show,
even if the challenge is easy, like it should look good, it should
look fun and you know, engaging, and this is not. See the
challenge a few seasons ago where they flew a drone in a cave was more
interesting to watch this. Oh that one was super bullshit. Yeah, that
one sucks. I think this was This was awful. Why on earth this
would have been fine as like a first challenge, but is the one right
before they go to the final, Like this decides who goes into the final
immediately? Are you kidding? Yeah? I think the only thing I say
I like about it is like I'm one of those people that I want the
drama and the politics more than the actual like challenges themselves. So if you
give me something simple like that that they can just kind of zoom through and
give us more time for the drama, I'm down for that no. Lam,
Yeah, I think the drama, but I still want a legit challenge.
I think I agree with you, Zach, because I liked this episode
more than more than you guys did. I think because of the house politics
and the drama and the gameplay, not not the challenge of the elimination,
So I feel like it's still represented there. I don't care that this challenge
is lane see. I want a good mix of both. I want a
fun and interesting like, oh my god, this is why these people go
to the challenge challenge, like this is why I'm watching This is why I've
watched it for twenty five years. But here are twenty years or whatever long
I've been watching it. I want to see these ridiculous things that they get
to go do, like running across the top of a semi and solving a
puzzle and jumping to another semi as they're barreling down the road at thirty five
miles an hour, Like I want to see them do things that we can't
do in our regular lives. I can climb a ladder and walk across the
top of my roof and it's basically the exact same thing. Like no,
no, I'm with you. I want, especially like Carlin said, this
is the episode before the final, whoever wins this automatically in the final.
I want like a nail bier of a challenge to figure out what's going on.
I want people smashing heads together. I want them like fighting for it.
I want many final and we got jack shit. Yeah, honestly another
thing. But I feel like the only reason they did this as the challenge
right before the final is because it was much more of a anybody's game type
of game. Josh could have won this, Yeah, he could have won
this, and he could have automatically been going to the final. He's not
climbing the ladder, No, he's not. But I have a feeling that
that was part of the reason why they put this in, because this was
a good, like everybody's on the same playing field type of challenge. Swannee
points out, nobody even dq it was way too easy. Yep, I
agree with that. Carlin froze, Yeah, what happened now? Oh nope,
she is something happened, Carlyn. I don't know still black, I
don't see no, I see her now she's back. All right, we'll
assume everything's fine. She's not talking, say something, Carlin. I know
she can't hear. That sucks. We might lose carlon this episode for fuck's
sake. All right, so Willie, we can just sort of skip through,
like who does what on this one? We'll just hit the highlights.
Uh FeSi goes pretty good. He wins or he doesn't win, but he
does this thing pretty quickly. The thing that bothered me is when he finished,
he yelled beat that one to everybody else, And uh, I don't
know that was annoying. You guys have any thoughts about FEESSI acting like a
dick nuts how he always acts. So that's standard operating in the procedure.
Yeah, ye, I can hear car I hear Carlin. She forgot you
guys, continue on, all right, Type to her Wolfe and say,
don't you know, reload, but if it asks to restart the feed,
don't do that. Okay. So I noticed that Corey climbed this fucking ladder
without using his legs. Do you guys see this one? I did notice
that. Yeah, that guy is a monster. We saw during that wrestling
challenge. He'd obviously like put on a lot of muscle mass and stuff.
But I was really impressed he just whipped right up that thing. Uh.
Next up we had Chris. Chris I noticed makes animal noises when he's uh
working hard at stuff. Do you notice that wolf and Zach I was not,
And I did not know that. Yeah, he he We've seen him
do it. And during one of the eliminations maybe it was with Wes,
and then we saw him as he was climbing up this ladder. He just
kept going like, I don't know, I thought it was kind of cool.
Yeah, I didn't even notice that. All right, you guys just
keep chatting once yourself. I'll just do the show by myself, just like
one of those gyms, Just like those gym bros at the gym, but
just every time they like put the weight up or down, they got like
grown at the top of their lungs. Yeah, Chris mentioned a savage mode
earlier in the season, and this must be his savage mode. But he
fucking kicked it up and crossed that beam like incredibly fast. He did the
incredibly fast. No, we got to mute Carlino. That's not good.
Yeah, yeah, I mean he did go really faster and we even saw
that, like they point out later that he slipped on the ladder and even
despite that, he still did really well. Yeah, it made a big
deal out of his slip, but it seemed like that stumble cost him three
seconds, Like it didn't seem like a big, a big stumble. No,
but when we hear how close the the guy's finish was, I mean,
I guess three seconds could have could have changed the outcome. It could
have in this case, it didn't, but it did not. Uh.
And then we get Mikayla and Bananas, and I have to believe that Bananas
did this thing pretty quick and pretty good, but Mikayla kept up with him
like she was right with him. And she was the only woman that kept
up with a dude that I saw. So I think Mikayla is just a
monster. She's just a badass. Yeah. Johnny points out that she's one
of those weird people that when people are scared, they usually can't do something,
but for some reason, she gets better when she's scared. Yeah,
you can sort of see it. I mean, she and this is the
second Heights challenge that we've seen her freak out, but then she wins it.
Yeah, how is my microphone? Or should I jump up? And
I think it's I think it's good enough for the rest of the I don't
know what just happened. Closer to it. If you can't, I feel
like your volume has dropped a little bit. But I mean I can still
hear you because it's now coming through my computer. I don't know what the
hell just happened. It literally like the whole screen glitched. You guys all
went silent. It popped up with the little uploading thing, and then it
came back and all of you couldn't hear anything. What just happened? We'll
see it'll be all fucked up. All to fix it. It's wonderful such
as such as my sorrow, poor wolfe. Uh. It's during this that
Bananas says that he is a quote unstoppable force in a final, and so
he's feeling the heat here. He thinks he's going to be thrown in if
he doesn't win this thing because people are scared of him in the final.
You guys think this is true? Is the how is the how scared of
him in the final? I mean maybe true, but that's yes. We
thought half the guy say that they didn't want to go against him in the
final. It may be true. But you don't have to be so fucking
self centered about it. Well I think, I mean, Chris is untested,
but against Fessei, Josh, and Corey in a final, Bananas wins
it ninety nine times out of one hundred. To me, yeah, I
came here. If I tell Chris I came in, if I say it
to Allison, if I saund on the podcast last week. But like,
I feel like Chris is the only all threat to Bananas in this final.
I feel like he you know, he has gone against pretty much all these
other guys in the past and beat them except Josh. But now you know,
we know how that turns out. So remind me. Have we seen
Chris in a puzzle? Yeah, I feel like he's done at least one.
I mean it's not traditional puzzle. Last episode, didn't he didn't he
do an episode a puzzle? Yeah, he did the puzzle last episode where
he the stacking one where he and Desi won. Yeah, stacking one I'm
blinking out where they had to run through the ruins and find all the pieces
and MICHAELA, oh, yeah, so we saw that. We saw we
saw the elimination, which isn't a like a pure puzzle, but where they
had to like bounce the ball into the hoop and they had to like move
the the barrels are out to make it like work. So that's puzzle ish,
that's puzzle adjacent. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm I'm rooting for Chris
personally, But yes, I think I think that the rest of the house
should be scared of bananas. Which. Uh we were talking about the challenge
when I was trying to help Carlin. You're fine, uh, am I
remembering correctly that Chris is a firefighter? Or do I make that up in
my head? I think you're making that up. Well, never mind,
think somebody. I feel like somebody is I don't know who, though Lewis
is a firefighter, that's right or whatever. Yeah, okay, I don't
know what Chris does for a living. I feel like some racists. I
feel like someone made a comparison that someone was climbing really well like a firefighter.
I don't think anyone actually is one. No, But even while I
was watching it, I thought of my head, I'm like, oh,
yeah, isn't he a firefighter? No wonder, he just like flies up
this ladder with only like one little problem, which I mean is easy to
do if you're running up a rope ladder in front of everybody, right,
as Brandon from a Survivor will tell you. You guys have mentioned this twice.
What happened on Survivor. There's like a four four rung rope ladder that
they had to climb up to get on this like was it a boat,
Yeah, it was like six feet tall ladder. I mean it was a
short one. Yeah. So he's going off like out of the water climbing
up this ladder. He couldn't get past one rung. He was just like,
oh oh, oh my god, I kept falling. Oway, kid,
I can't do it. I think what I mean, even big easy
was able to get up like all the way up the top of a like
thirty foot long well. I think I think Brandon freaked. I think it
was a panic attack situation where he just wasn't even in his own body type
of thing. I don't think it was the challenge probly, you know.
I think it was a more momental thing than a physical thing. But it
was embarrassing, Yeah, it was. It looked real sad well in the
end. The top two women are Tory, Mikayla Mikayla wins by fourteen seconds.
Whoop woop. Top two men are Chris and Fessi. Chris wins it
by three seconds. Whoop woop. I was so happy, me too.
I'm excited. I want Chris to win too. I love it when people
have a hard season and keep winning. And Chris has had the hardest season
in the house. I think for elimination an eliminations, but two challenge wins.
And he just seems like a normal dude, like just a nice,
normal guy, you know, just like somebody I could know in real life,
you know. And I like Chris. So we're back of the house.
There we go. I was waiting for it. Festi and Josh are
talking, and Festi thinks that Chris should throw in bananas, and he sort
of is kind of quietly pitching this around the house. Uh. And then
they're already talking about Halbrall. They're sort of thinking that we haven't seen Hallbrall
yet. It's probably gonna be Hallbrall. So Festi's giving Josh hints on Halbral.
Josh seems uninterested in any of this, does not care. Josh really
seems to think that he's not I don't know, it's yeah, not that
he's not going in. He just yeah, he kind of did seem like
he figured he was not going in, especially once Bessy's name made it in
there. Yeah. Well, I think Josh knows he's looked at and perceived
and is the weakest man. So I think he's got to feel pretty safe
here. He knows why would they target him. He's gonna do the worst
here. All right, Well with that, guys, we are on denominations.
I'm sorry I should have thrown out all right. Chris and Mikayla,
they're sitting at the table, they're talking about it, and it's pretty much
at this point in the game, it's pretty much just the men picked the
men, the women picked the women, right, Yeah, so it seems
very fair. It seems obvious to me. And so Michaela immediately just says,
I think we should throw on Cassidy again because I made a deal with
Toy not to throw her in, and we get a flashback. I know
you love those What do you guys think about this? Why would they make
this deal? Why would Mikaela honor it? There's no game left now now
it's just the final, so why honor this deal self respect is that it?
Yeah, I think to Zach's point that he's made a few different times,
people come back in this game often, and if you burn all your
bridges, especially this close to a final. I mean, look at Johnny
Banas. He held on to the fact that Sarah sent him gave him a
chance at the in the last elimination. But in that in the yes,
I am no, Banana's got really pissed off at Sarah when Sarah was with
Jordan and they sent him into the final elimination gave him a chance to fight
his way back, and he lost against Leroy, and he held it against
her the next season like no other. So this is definitely a time where
I think that it was a strategic thing on Michayla's I might come back to
this game. I probably will come back to this game. I really don't
want to throw someone in that I just made an alliance with. Counterpoint,
Johnny Bananas is also a petty bitch. Yes, yes, this is true.
Also, I wonder if Mikayla is just not threatened by Tory. I
wonder if she just sort of thinks I can beat her in a final.
So whatever I can onto this deal and it's not going to impact the final.
I mean, I think that's the right mindset to have. I mean,
we saw, you know, two or three weeks in a row of
her trying to get rid of Tory saying I don't want to go against her
in the final. So I don't know if that's necessarily the case. Yeah.
Well then it's Chris's turn, and I like what Chris says. He
says, well, you know, for me, it's it's between because I
think Banana's is gonna get votes, So for me, it's between Fessi or
Corey and then a long pause. I mean, oh, Josh, but
he like says it like so of like, it's not gonna be just like
a producer's off screen, off camera, just like oh and Josh Josh too.
Yeah yeah yeah, But ultimately goes with Festi, which is uh.
I think that's the best decision. What do you guys think? Agreed?
Hmm? Yeah, I could see going for bananas here, but because we
have seen Festian finals, Infesti has the tendency to gas out in finals.
Yeah, so why did he not go bananas? Like he said, he
thinks bananas are good votes, So why why waste your house vote on or
your elimination? You know what I mean? Why waste that on bananas?
If he if there's a good possibility he's going in anyway, it would have
been I think if Wes was in this, Wes would have stirred the pot.
He would have thrown in bananas and caused everybody else to pick someone they
like. That. That's what I was gonna say, is, Yeah,
if they threw in bananas, then the that alliance of guys has to turn
on each other. Right, So for that reason, for the drama alone,
it would have been fun to see Johnny is the house pick and everybody
else have to fight for it. I can see Josh just giving in and
throwing coy. Gonna say, it does seem like, from what we saw
this episode, if that had happened, it seems like it's pretty simple that
they would have teamed up against Corey. Yeah. Uh well, he goes
with FESSI, you know that's it. Sure, When Festi sees that he's
nominated, he says rot row and that bothers me for reasons I can't quite
put my finger on. I don't know nobody else don't you don't you co
op Scooby Doo. I don't know, it just seemed very weird. I
don't know, I just didn't. I just hate FESSI, so I didn't
like that. Uh. We see Josh and Bananas talking. I FESTI wants
Bananas to be the House vote, but Josh promises not to throw in Bananas
says he'll vote for himself before he'll vote for Bananas, not just grandfather,
his grandpa in heaven, Karlin. Such a weird thing to say, Like
you said, this is this is the second time that he has sworn on
family members. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure both times he's backed off on
them. Yeah. I think the first time was when he threw in West.
Yes. Yeah, Josh is really Uh, he's just burning every bridge
to get to the final. He just doesn't he gives no shits this.
He's playing it like it's his last season. Here. He's just going down
in a blaze of glory here. But we see Corey I'm sorry Tory say
that she has a debt to repay to Corey, so that really only leaves
her with two options. She can vote for Josh or she can vote for
Bananas. And she's been working the whole game with Banana, so that's not
gonna be him. Well, I didn't mind this. I know that bananas
freak the fuck out later on, but this is one of those like it
again to the point that Zach has made many times, this is one of
those things where she's looking long term. She has played with Corey more than
a few times, and if she burns this bridge, then she knows that
she's fucked the next season. Right. And there's also I think some some
strategy for a Tori that she wants strong men in the final in case that
there's like partner parts, and I think she'd rather have Corey in the final
than Josh. Frankly, yeah, I would want to have Corey in the
final. Yeah, yeah, no shit. So then Josh obviously is torn
in multiple directions. He doesn't know what the fuck to do, so he
goes to Fessi, and FESSI has that weird scarf thing wrapped around his head.
I don't know that's about that strange. I think he was trying to
sleep and he was using it as like a sleep mask. Essentially. I
have a very dumb ex wife that used to do the same thing, wrap
a scarf around her head like a mummy. It's a weird ye just get
one of his eyemask, you know, they make like a specific thing for
that too, girly. He would never do such to wrap a pink scarf.
Weird anyway, So Festi says, there's nothing to talk about. You
either fuck me or you don't. I love that it's uncentsored on paramoun by
the way. I love that I can hear hearing that out of context.
That's right. He said it in a sexy voice. You either fuck me
or you don't. But I mean it is festy. So yeah, this
is the new Cory. But he's like taking it real personal. He's kind
of like bananas or or or nobody or you're like dead to me type of
situation here, and Festi talks about all the statistics is why he wants bananas.
It's he's heavier than bananas, he's younger than bananas, blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. Bananas has still kicked his ass. So yeah,
consistently a bunch of players who are older, and I mean he's no longer
as fit as he was in previous seasons, but a bunch of players are
who are older than him. Yeah, and I think, you know,
if you do have a pretty good idea it's and be a haul brawl or
something like physical like that. I do think that is the ideal. Wanted
to try to go against Bananas in. Yeah, it's very a size it's
a size thing, and Banana's probably in the smallest dude in the house right
now, he sure is talking about his penis. Oh just wait until later
when we start talking about house villains. Yeah, I typed another quote here.
Festi tells Josh, this decision will dictate our friendship moving forward. So
Festi's pulling out all the stops. He's like, you better not fucking vote
for anybody but Banana's. Festi's pulled out this stop for He pulled out this
stop this season. Last season when Tory and Jordan got into it, and
Jordan was like, I'm not going to let a game dictate my personal life,
like we have a friendship outside of us to Tory. Yeah, and
Tory, you know, freaked out because she didn't want to vote for Fessi.
YEAHESI pulled the same ship last season. He takes it really personal.
It's really weird. He's a douche. Yeah, he's a douche. Like,
if your friend's outside of this game, then this game is not going
to affect your friendship, this game relationship. But I wouldn't talk to him
after after the game. If people something like that, that'd be fine,
that'd be fine. I'd accept that. We get Josh crying yet again to
Tory. Josh has cried this whole fucking episode like I wouldn't even I wouldn't
even I wouldn't even fucking care all that much if he didn't start his challenge
career being like, I'm not emotional. I don't, I'm not over emotional.
It's like, dude, outside of Camilla, you might be the most
emotional person I've ever seen on this goddamn show. Do you think he's more
emotional than Amanda's a different myx wife the devil again, my ex wife in
the show, in the show, not this show. I don't. I've
never once seen her burst into tears because she hadn't know what to do Carlin's
talking about. At least she's at least much more like, Oh, I
don't care, I'll burn this house to the ground. I mean, that's
that's fine. At least that's fine. At least she's not like moping and
crying about everything. All right. Well, with that, we're under the
secret vote. We don't see a lot of it, but we see some.
We see Banana's votes for Corey and Dessi. Corey is predictable, Desi's
not. Does he seems like a weird choice? It is weird. I
wonder why any any theories on why he went des Does he have a relationship
with what's her face? Chanel? We've seen even say, have we even
seen like her like interact with Bananas at all? No? I have no
idea why he would go Desi. Seems like that's an easy one to go
for Chanel. Then, yeah, that's that seems weird. Maybe he just
figured he didn't really care which girl made to the answers, like let me
stir the pots and like the rugue boat out there in case it comes up.
Yeah, yeah, maybe he was still playing the strategy that they had
at the beginning of the game of just chucking weird names in. Yeah,
Jacqueline says, oh, sorry, you can go ahead, Wolfe. All
right, Jacqueline says, Chanel said they did have an alliance I don't remember
her saying that it's possible, but even that's a weird because that's, you
know, Chanelle's in the alliance with all the other women, so you think
all the women would be included in that. I would think he would just
go Chanelle. It's the how everybody seems to be going Chanell. It seems
like an easy one to do, but he throws it towards to Desi.
Anyway, we see Tory, she goes Josh and she kind of told Josh
she was going to do that. Josh was really harrily option here and Chanelle,
and Josh just comes in and just coach this voting floor with his tears,
just gallons and gallons of tears on the floor while he's putting his little
chuck e cheese ball in the little bank teller vacuum system deal. Pretty dramatic.
Kind of looked like he might have put his own name in. They
tried to kind of play it that way. Yeah, but the moment it
cut to the next scene, so yeah, uh yeah. So the next
scene is when he's in the kitchen and he just looks at bananas and just
is like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's so dramatic, so stupid
you put my name in Yeah, but Bananas just says the fuck is wrong
with you, like gets up in storms away act of Bananas. Yeah,
freak the fuck out, yep, yep. Uh. So we're gonna see
lots of Bananas here in the next couple of minutes doing what he does,
which is throw a giant tantrum. And again I would like to rewind back
to previous challenges. Don't ask me for a specific example, because I don't
know the seasons in the episodes, but he, of course has done shit
like this, and he's always like, hey man, it's just a game
move. It's not personal, just it's it's just a game move. And
when someone else does it to him, of course it's the most personal attack
that's ever been committed on the challenge of all time. And he throws a
gaet. I disagree, you'll feel free to disagree. I do, Maam.
Has always been mygument has always been who in the past was the biggest
competition to be Johnny in the end, Mark Derek Kenny, Evan, who
did he always try to take to the end even though they were the biggest
people to beat him. Mark Kenny Evan Derek. If you are like in
his alliance, even if you have a good chance to beat him, he
will take you to the end and be like, may the best man win.
If you're like some rookie that he does like makes the like first season
alligance with you, it's probably going to touch you at the end. But
if you're like one of his true alliances, which I think Josh and Tory
were, I think he was honestly going to take them to the end.
Yeah. Uh well. Josh then goes and cries to Tory yet again,
and I haven't yet another quote typed out here. He says, I feel
like a sellout. This game is turning me into someone I'm not. This
is mysh, this guy, this guy, what's up? Yeah? I
loved this. This is when I did. Just when Bananas walks in again
and starts giving Josh shit again, well that, but not even that.
I just love the fact that he's like, I'm such a horrible person because
I voted in Banana and he's like, don't worry about it. I finted
doing just like so castul. Yeah, and Josh doesn't seem bothered by this
either, which is like, why are you, why are you putting so
much weight on this Banana's decision when you don't give a ship I know.
Yeah, maybe he's all up in his own head, would register Yeah,
uh pretty weird. But then yeah, Tori tells Bananas that he that she
voted for Josh, and he says, why the fuck would you vote for
him? Like, Bananas is just he's just lost. What the fuck is
wrong with you too? Yeah, he's like furious, he's going off.
Man. I mean, I I don't blame him. You guys have it.
I do three I have a three person alliance. You guys like you
know, I'm assuming a talk before the vote, made a plan of like
what we're doing. It's like it's simple, like alliance is only work if
you guys actually you know, vote in a block. Yeah. But the
only reason he wants Josh to come to the finals because he knows that he
can beat him. Yeah, so that's exactly right. I mean, jeh
and I've always said that that alliances die as you're entering the final. There
is there should be no more alliances at this vote, because there is no
more game. It's you know, after this, it's the final. So
you just got to do whatever you can. But I'm sure part of it
is he probably did think Josh was easier competition. But I mean, I
feel like we heard both him and Josh probably yeah, But also think we
heard both him and Josh express this episode that they can sider each other friends
outside of the show. Like I think, you know, like Bananas and
Corey probably are on good terms. But I don't think like he no,
Bananas looks at him as a friend, where it seems like he really thinks,
like, Josh is my friend. I want him at the end.
No, he thinks Josh is my friend. That's great. I want him
at the end because I'm gonna beat him. Yeah, he wants Josh for
a selfish ue. Yep, I go back to wh I just said five
minutes ago. Like Kenny and Evan were his friends, he happily took them
to the end too, even though they were his biggest threats. He's like,
hey, may the best man wins. So I don't think he like
I think he puts friendships above what's the easiest task. Well, Zach,
you're also leaving out that most of those wins where he was taken those people
were team wins. He won with Derek and Kenny a lot, not against
them too, So it's kind of a tomato tomato situation there. Yeah,
ruins an Island. He went with them. I mean, like, you
know, when his rivals like, you know, he you know, he
could have tried to get rid of Kenny and West and have been like,
oh, that's a threatening team, but he's like, even though I don't
like Wes, Kenny's my boy, they could beat me, but made the
best man win. Yep. Well, the one thing that Banana says that
I think is true. He just says to Josh, He's like, well,
now your word is worth fuck all. And I do think that's true.
If we see Josh in later seasons, I wonder if he will be
less aligned with this crew, just because he has burned these Bridges's and he
has fucked up his He has gone against his word quite a few times this
season. It may not have always been against this group, but he has
gone against his ward multiple times this season. After swearing on his family yep,
yep. What he did to Wes and Bananas is tough to overcome.
I think uh Kay wants to know who I would vote in at this point
what I would do is I would take Josh his ball and I would take
Johnny's ball and then put them both in there and hit that button. No
girl, just two boys. Yep. All right, well Wolfy, get
that finger ready. You know what's coming. I was drinking a beer.
I know. That's why I'm trying to delay shit a little bit here.
But it is time. Well now you did it too fast. Now you
sucked it up in the other direction. It's time for elimination. Guys.
That's more like it. All right. Well, they're at the arena and
TJ reads Uh that's it, Toy reads the votes, or toy TJ reads
the votes. I'm all thrown off. The bumper is fucking me up.
Carl is just out of there, man, She's like, fuck this.
Uh. Tori gets she's going out, She's going outside the pete. Uh.
Tory got to votes. Desi got one vote we saw that was from
Bananas, and Chanelle got the remaining five votes on the women's side. On
the men's side, Corey got one vote, Josh got two votes, and
Bananas got the remaining five votes. Did you guys see during this scene that
TJ sometimes was looking directly at the camera with like weird voiceover shit going on.
I did not notice that. Now, Oh my gosh, it was
so like off putting. I don't think I've ever seen this before. Weirded
me out. It was like he was looking into my soul. So you
don't like TJ looking into your soul. No, it was really weird,
all right. So he flushes the toilet and the poop that pops out is
Chanelle and Josh. Hey, what do we think is their producer shenanigans here
for bananas or is this really just just a game of chance type of situation.
I think the hopper is completely rigged this. Of course, Carlin,
sit down, you're too far away. You're already too quiet. It always
goes back to the whole thing. Of course, of course that thinks that
it wasn't rigged because Johnny Bananas is the one of the benefits. I had
the immediate thought of, I really wonder if this was actually rigged for Johnny
Bananas. It seems like it, except it seems weird. Except when you
present something like this as being random, like they have a team of lawyers
staying off to the side that if you tried to rig this it's gonna be
like, no, we're gonna get stood and shut down. That's not happening.
You say that, Yeah, I don't think that's true. I don't
think it is either, but I guess. I mean, mathematically, this
isn't crazy, right, So three out of eight balls are not bananas,
so it's almost half are not bananas in this hopper. So I guess it's
not too weird that it's not bananas that they put a lot of here.
But you know, bananas maybe just got really lucky. It's good for bananas.
Uh So, anyways, Chanelle and Josh versus uh, I forget Cassidy
and FESSI, but I will say, well, game are they playing?
Tim I was gonna say, I will say, if it was rigged,
then that means producer interference is the only reason that I did not prove my
point to Carlin that Josh should have cake walked into the final. Corlin,
I gotta say, you got real lucky with your prediction of Josh will never
make a final. Josh was this close. I don't think it was luck.
I think it was this is this is my argument is to why I
don't think it was rigged, because it helps my argument. No, I
just it last episode it felt like they were teeing it up that Josh was
not going to make it. That was really where that prediction came from at
I just don't think that he's ever going to make it. I think he
can make a final. I mean, he was so close this season.
If that hopper had just gone to the other direction, he's in the final.
Well do you think he can ever earn his way into a final?
Absolutely not, absolutely not. Cannot earn his way into a well, come
on, come on? Is if they had another final challenge that was like
this one where it was a complete like all you have to do is climb
a ladder and walk across a balance beam. Because Josh could have won this
challenge, He could have made it into the final because of this challenge.
Well, define earned too, because I guess I'm the opinion, if you
make the final, you've earned, You've earned it, like you've you've done
something right. He has people dragging him along to the I don't know.
He is not one challenges this season. He has not done anything remarkable to
get himself in there. People have the social and political game that he's kind
of mastered. Yes, because so we saw him getting made for the first
time last week and Chanelle actually had a tweet this week saying people wanted Josh
nominated the entire season. He was the most protected person. They tried all
season to get rid of him. You could not do it. He just
had people in every corner of the house fighting and protecting him. Yeah,
so he didn't earn it. He was he was drug there by no or
he or he played one of the most masterful social games the game has ever
seen. Well, that's maybe, but I agree with your premise. I
agree with the premise of that people, people that are popular and do well
in this game, wanted an easy layup in the final. So they're like,
if we dragged Josh along, that's an easy win for us whenever it
comes time. Because Josh's Josh has never performed on any of his seasons,
no matter what. Every time he's gone into elimination except one time he is
lost. So John says, no performance one Daily. No, he had
two Daily Challenge wins and they were back to back and it happened last the
last season that he was on, and that was it. Case says,
he's one in seven in eliminations. Yeah, yeah, I've read that the
only people that did worse were Tyree and Danny were the only two players that
have done worse. They were zero and six. I think each tree that
I don't think Danny's a great athlete, but you think he's good enough to
least one. Yeah, he looks the part. He looks strong. I
wonder if he just kind of freaks out in there or something, but yeah,
he's not. He'd never perform well his performance anxiety. I feel like
he's always gone against heavy hitters too. It could just be making that up
in my head, but I feel like he's always gone. I feel like
Danny's always gone against heavier hitters. Well, guys, it's all bro is
it though? Are you sure? No? It's not. It's a totally
neuter version. It's not Halbrough whatsoever. This is the worst Halbra in the
history of halbor. They need to retire Hallbra. They keep trying to kind
of redo it to make it, I guess less dangerous. Is maybe that
that's what they're trying to do. But they're just neutering. Either revert it,
revert it, or just get rid. I think get rid of it.
Go back, go back to them starting by their bells and running in
none of this. I'm going to stand at the very edge of the hallway,
no pads, no weird bar in the middle, nothing, just literally
football esque running into each other. That's it. Yep, I agree.
And if you're not going to do that, just retire it. We don't
need it. If if this weird neutered version, with this shield thing and
with this weird counting of squares in the end, it's stupid, weird,
so stupid. I just want to say, as far as the day thing
goes, I just pulled up his record as far as the heavy hitters go,
he has faced Less and Drell, which our big hitters, as well
as Pete from me to but also his other losses are big Easy Davis and
uh Adam King hm. So I feel like there's some winnable ones there that
he should have won. Yeah, he should have Uh well this one,
uh we get Cassidy versus Chanelle first. I don't know, guys, is
there anything remarkable to talk about with this? With this one? Not really
nothing remarkable about this entire setup. Yeah, Chanelle wins this one. Festi
versus Josh The remarkable thing. Obviously, here is FESSI fucking figuring out how
to game this system. Here what this was? Fucked right? He just
kept running back and forth, touching the board and then throwing out another random
number. So and so I think this also goes back to Wolfe. He
just says, could could Josh like ever win his way into a final?
Sure? Because if Josh had done the Fetti strategy here and guess the number
right, he would have like turned his way in through a competition. So
I think, like anyone cover through this, this is something where fest would
have to have the smarts to be able to do that, and I don't
think he does. And the climbing the rope ladder, Fest you would have
to have the you have to have the physical capability, you'd have to have
not necessarily dixterity. But I don't know, Well, if you've had a
good word for it, I can't think of what it is right now.
I think our friend Jose had a good word for it and his agility.
He'd have to have the agility to be able to win that one, and
he just doesn't. So Yep, no, this is bullshit, and Fessi's
way of doing it is bullshit. But you know what, fuck this elimination
anyway, because it's bullshit. The whole thing is we've given we've given props
to guys like Bananas and West for sort of figuring out ways to game this
system. And there is a little bit of like respect, like you fucking
figured it out. You figured out a loophole, and you know you win.
But production should have production should have guarded against this somehow, And if
you even look on Reddit or any of these community sites, there's all sorts
of conversations about ways to improve this. Make them run through the hallway again,
give him a ten second penalty, make the other person get a free
guess, like, there's other things that they can do, because Fessei just
doing what he did was sort of like it felt cheap, it felt silly,
I don't know, didn't like it. Not against the rules, but
that doesn't mean the rules. Don't know, I think it's their one.
Like the fact that they went second and the fact that they only did one
round. I also things hurt it because like if they had to do another
round and Josh got to see Festi do this, you know, then at
least this, you know, in the round two and three, Josh could
be like, oh, I'm going to adopt that same strategy. Yeah,
and why did they even do this? Like, if FESSI and Josh are
friends, couldn't they have just been like, well, this hall brawl is
bullshit, right, let's just we'll tap, we'll tap the shields and then
let's go by each other and we'll just leave it up to whoever wins the
puzzle wins do against his friends before is never going to just let this.
He's a giant piece of Well, that's it, that's the that's it Finals
next week, guys, very excited. Yeah, fucking Josh Loss cried.
Do we talk about how Johnny is like, this is the most poetic justice
I've ever seen on those But Josh said the same thing. He's Josh kind
of took it away. He said like, I guess this is karma coming
back and bite me in the ass. You know, I fucked this up
and whatever. He did take it well, but it was still crying about
it. Yeah, but emotional. I'm telling you, they had to take
me to the hospital give me an ivy drip to replace all those tears that
he shed during this episode. And this guy, fuck you Josh, please
retire, Please retire from the challenge. Will say, I've been defending Josh
all season. But you know, after all my work of defending him,
what he did to Bananas tonight. Uh, he is dead to me.
That's how he repays me for all of my defenses. Now, wow,
look at Zach taking it personal. Of course it was against Johnny Bananas.
Of course that personal. Exactly. Everybody head every challenge. Now that Johnny
and West are friends, I need someone new to hate, you know,
a new rival for Johnny. So hey, everybody head every challenge. Doot

fed that into another AI system to turn it into a little song.
We'll fee Can we hear the song? Oh? Can't? I certainly hope,
so please Yeah, I cannot hear anything. Oh, this is the
worst thing ever. It's a bad song. Carling's jamming over there so bad.

yeah, was hitting on her? Yes, m hm. Did you guys
talk about Nelson almost getting his foot amputated a couple of weeks ago? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I'm not an Elly fan, but I'll say that's
above. I'm not sure we'll see Nelly back. That seems like a tough
one to kind of overcome. Unfortunately. Is he actually getting it amputated or
was it just a thought. It's a possibility, A possibility. Yeah,
I think that happens. I think even if it doesn't happen, I don't
know that we'll ever see him again. It seems like I think that we
won't ever see him again. I agree. It seemed like there was only
two possibilities. One amputate or two fuse his ankle together, so you can't
really move it anymore. How do you how do you perform athletically if you
can't move your ankle? You know that's a tough one. I mean it's
amputated and has a has a prosthetic. Then he could still run. I
just don't think that he could run at the caliber. But these guys could
run in the time. Brian Pillman had a fused and he still wrestled,
So he's all right, that's wrestling, that's not running. You definitely didn't
die early from drugs because he was so much Absolutely, anyway, do we
want to spend a few minutes on uh House of Villains absolutely or House of
Johnny Banana's tiny little dick. We got, we got. We gotta tell
Wolfy all about the show because he refuses to watch it, even though Amerosa
stops by his office all the fucking time, Amrosa wandering the halls right by
Wolfe's little cubicle. If he gives no show, I don't think she's gonna
be stunning by it for a while. Yeah. Yeah, So for the
listeners who don't know, there is a show out called House of Villains that
Johnny Bananas is part of. It is ten villains from different reality shows,
and Johnny Bananas, to his credit, has some real self self deprecating humor
about his tiny little penis, multiple jokes, multiple jokes that he makes about
it. Yeah. I like Johnny as as a human. He just seems
like a charming kind of He just seems like an easy going dude that you
can kind of chill with. But episode one was a lot of tryhards.
I did. I did think that a lot of people trying a little too
hard. It's a trash show. It's total trash. Oh, it is
total trash. I do appreciate that because it's very obvious that Johnny is the
only person that has played a game like this out of that entire cast.
So at one point in time, he like the three the Amarosa wins the
episode and takes two people on a special treat and Johnny's sitting back at the
house with everybody else and he does the explanation of like, this is that
time when you really have to kind of figure out how to play this game.
You have to talk strategy with when you're out of the house, you
have to talk strategy when you're in the house. But he lays it all.
It's it was. I enjoyed seeing that because I like the challenge.
Yeah, and that's what this is. So yep, and Johnny got awfully
close again screwed over by om Rosa, but luckily I was so I don't
think yeah he was too. But it's you know what I noticed about this
show too. Everybody just kept repeating jokes, including bananas, and it's just
like, shut the fuck up. He was like, you know, I
almost shipped my pants. I need a diaper change. Oh, where's the
bathroom. It's all right, dude, we get it. Like, and
who's that the white rush was funny, who's the dude with the purple hair.
I don't even know what show is from, or like Chris. I
think it's like Chris Scott Sky, this Chris style or something he's from a
love and hip hop I believe. Okay, But when Joel McHale showed up
and he kept saying Carson Daily over and over again, it's just like,
dude, we get it, that's not funny. Just shut the fuck.
The first time was sort of like, Okay, Carson Daily. The eighth
time it's like, dude, shut the fuck up about Carson. Dis Yeah,
it's like, oh my god, yeah, Wolfy, I think you'll
appreciate. In the nomination ceremony, Almrosa has to pick three people to go
into the elimination, and she picks the first two people and she has made
it because she and Johnny were the last two in the challenge to have their
like to be at the end, and he made a deal with her of
okay, I will let you win if you don't put me into this elimination.
Well, she's sitting on the chair and she calls the first two people
and then she goes into this whole diatribe about how she should pick this person
and that they would really screw over and this, that and the other.
She goes, I should pick bananas, but and moves on to the next
person. You just see his entire like life drain from him. It's great.
It's one of one of the better pulls I've seen in a one that
was great on TJ tries at every episode, Yes, and I loved I
loved the initial and Fisa and Omerosa like introduction. I don't know if you
guys enjoyed that as much. The say that and Fisa the girl from Naida,
but she's like, who are you and just like google me? Oh,
I didn't like that. It was for Karen that was the That was
the example of like try hard on both sides, Amrosa and her when she
got all dramatic and started crying up the stuff and then it showed her crying
and it was like clearly fucking fake crying, Like clearly yeah she I don't
watch The Bachelor. I have seen episodes here and there, but the season
that Karin was on, Karinn was a super try hot hard on that one
too. Yeah. I tend to hate the first episode of any reality show.
It's they're always trying hard. None of them seem authentic. I think
they're just trying to kind of get their footing and you know whatever. It's
yeah, second third episode, they kind of settle in felt like they were
trying to do I also don't watch any of the other reality TV shows we
know this, so I don't. I'm sure Big Brother has games that are
similar, but it just it felt like they were trying to do a challenge
game, yeah, and then they failed. I did find it really funny
because Jack's the guy who went real hard in the in the actual challenges from
VANDR Pump Rules, which is a Bravo show, so you're into that one.
So it was it was hysterical to watch him because he's just such a
moron, such a moron. The only try hard moment I thought it was
try hard, which still made me laugh, was when New York first got
to the house and Johnny fair Play and just her whole reaction of being like,
yeah, like I don't know who he even is. Yeah, that
was very tired. I remember New York. I used to watch all those
old v H one shows obsessively love Ye and I and I knew Johnny fair
Play of course, and the Bananas so it had no idea who Johnny fair
Play was old school survivor did probably like the original villain even before, like
Johnny and all those other people apparently didn't. U didn't he fake his grandma
dying so that you could, uh they show it? Okay, that's his
big claim to fame. Yeah, ruthless Josh. Josh needs to learn from
Johnny that you don't promise on dead relatives. You just promise on the live
ones and they're dead, right, or just own it only your piece of
ship, like fair Play does. But Josh is incapable of that. We
know that. But Swanny wants to know if we can do winter predictions O
winter predictions for the challenge or winter predictions for I'm assuming the challenge. That's
a challenge. Christ want Chris. I want Chris. The start of the
season, I predicted Dasi and Bananas. They're both still there, so I'm
gonna stick with that, Okay, I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna go with who
I hope and who I hope is Chris and MICHAELA that's mine, okay,
Sam. Yeah. The beginning of the season, I picked Michelle and Lewis
them We're gone. I really want Chris to win, and I really want
to win. I like michaeleb, but I really want to win. Okay,
i'd be happy. I would not be I wouldn't I would not be
disappointed at I don't want Tori to win, and I don't want Chanel to
win because I think Chanelle. Honestly, Chanelle got carried to this final.
Yeah, yeah, I don't want. I don't want Fety or Chanel.
Those are my two like, I don't want. I really hope the just
ships the bed again. They do have an eating Sorry spoilers, I don't
think that's a spoiler. I think coming soon is not spoiled. It's the
coming next episode. So coming next episode. We did see it eating challenge.
Yeah, we saw a couple of whoa whose dog was that house?
Jeez, wolf, you get your dog under control. She goes nuts if
there's like an animal out and outside. Margo's like, this show has been
going on too long, ended and I agree. Margot's then this fucking thing
only an hour and a half hour. That's hour is for the actual show.
