Speaker 1: Yeah, supporter, everybody, Welcome back to the Challenge. Interesting podcast

Speaker 2: His house super healthy though big sure.
Speaker 1: And sitting at her house with her new cat.
Speaker 3: Carl in San Diego.
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody had ever Challenge dot com joined the Facebook group.
Speaker 2: Hey, I have Covid, leive me the fun alone. Also,
Carlin has just sounded dead. Also jesus, oh you knows
my track?
Speaker 1: All right? What happened on this episode?
Speaker 2: Who went home?
Speaker 3: Well? I mean, clearly everybody really liked Ryan last week,
so we have to we have to live.
Speaker 1: Up to if he wants to take my spot off.
Speaker 3: Was fun listening to last week's episode, I will say.
Speaker 2: That we had you guys.
Speaker 3: You sound like you had a good time.
Speaker 2: We did.
Speaker 1: We enjoyed it. I don't listen to shows I'm not on.
Speaker 2: You don't listen to the ones you are. You don't
even watch the fucking Challenge anymore.
Speaker 3: I called into the pre show last week. I don't
know if my sound made it through past just you
guys recording.
Speaker 2: I think it did. I think it's in the pre
show all.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I didn't listen to the pre show. I
just listened to the show itself. Sarah, Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 2: Discovered we have we have sisters named Sarah. Weird little
connective tissue and.
Speaker 1: Get your khakis, run into car Maria and.
Speaker 3: Live there anymore. They all live in Florida now, No,
we we called in just before going on a ghost
tour of Boston, which was lots of fun.
Speaker 2: Did you see the thing that was happening in Minneapolis
last week? Kron the champ camp? What champ Camp? I
didn't know what's happening either, having in Minneapolis. Jordan was there,
like doing a challenge camp thing with like uh Zach
was there too. There was like some big names that
were in Minneapolis doing it.
Speaker 3: That's happening here.
Speaker 2: Jordan recreated as a tug of war wind nice against
some you know, somebody from the audience whatever.
Speaker 3: All right, were they just as bad as Josh?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think any of us could beat
Jordan and Ya we can make especially sure, Yeah, we
can make fun of John. I love making fun of Josh,
but I would put money on Jordan versus anybody.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sir, Yeah, no, one.
Speaker 2: Of course, Yeah, no shame in losing to Jordan.
Speaker 3: Ye, none whatsoever. Umm, al right, I guess we can.
We can kick it off and get going with this
actual chef. So we are on episode fourteen, an immediate.
Speaker 1: Mmm, whoop, whoop, whoop poop energy, let's go.
Speaker 2: Seasons almost over, guys, we can keep it keep.
Speaker 3: For getting there. Yeah, there's a very good chance I'm
gonna lose. I'm not gonna have any players to play
the last few episodes, but we're gonna pretend. So we
are back in the house and THEO walks in with
Adrian by his side. And it may have been facetious
when he said this, but he called them puzzle masters.
And I was very confused as to how he thought
they were puzzle masters because it took them the better
part of an hour to finish two tanagrams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seemed like they were being ironic.
Speaker 3: Do you think we could really hope?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 3: But I was just like, I like, dude, don't even
don't even play at that and it takes you an hour?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a diagram. I think he was poking front
of himself. That was my impression.
Speaker 1: So, well, do you think so?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: I find him very un self aware this episode, do
you really? Do you really?
Speaker 2: I fucking love THEO this season. I love him really.
Speaker 1: Can't think an asshole, I can't stand him.
Speaker 2: I think he is like the perfect villain. Like, of
course he's an asshole, but I just think he's great
this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just annoying the ship out of me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 3: It's great And I realized that that's just my bias.
But yeah, we get a lot of talk about, like immediately,
get a lot of talk about how they need to
get everybody needs to get the Turbo and Sydney into
the elimination because if they make it to the final,
there's a very good chance they're gonna win. H oh.
Mindy says she can't stand him or his girl. Yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Olivia is awesome.
Speaker 3: Yes, And Scott says that he thinks that he's more
clever that THEO thinks that he's more clever than he is.
Speaker 2: One thousand and Chris is THEO. The Cilantro works.
Speaker 1: What the fuck is?
Speaker 2: What? What is Cilantro anything to do? They don't know,
like a villain auto correct.
Speaker 3: He also said that I played four people. I don't
I don't know what that means in.
Speaker 1: The Fantasy Fantasy League.
Speaker 3: Oh gotcha, the.
Speaker 1: Villain weird.
Speaker 2: Figured Cilantro is like that. I would not use that
word to describe THEO myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it tastes like soap.
Speaker 2: That's a genetic thing. I don't think that's true of everybody.
Speaker 3: That's Yeah, it's definitely a genetic thing.
Speaker 2: Is that you though you taste soap?
Speaker 1: No, I take I taste cilantron.
Speaker 3: I can understand how people would taste soap.
Speaker 2: But does your peace smell after eat asparagus? Yep, mine too,
terrible great.
Speaker 3: I feel like asparagus.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they says he's.
Speaker 3: More, He's just Cilantro, that's got the seed.
Speaker 1: That's science or as uh fucking Aaron Paul would say, science,
bitch magnets out of they work.
Speaker 3: Yes, about the Turbo and Sydney, and let's get the
mends because otherwise we have to deal with them in
the final. And the UK Alliance realizes that if they
just if they don't win, and if no one from
their alliance loses next game, then they will tie with
the Big Alliance for three votes and three votes, which
I give them a little bit of props for actually
recognizing this.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: All seem like big dummies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love these politics discussions. Well if I know
you hate these, but I love these when they're just
like counting votes and trying to figure ot how this works.
And this season is weird, and that the winners and
losers both cannot vote, and so yes, it's even though
it's five to three, it's pretty even if they can,
if they win in the right order, you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Interesting if they can come up with a good plan.
THEO thinks he's got a fool proof plan, and it's like, yeah,
falls apart in like two seconds.
Speaker 2: But it works perfectly. What do you mean this season
or this episode, this episode, his plan works perfect.
Speaker 1: We will get to it.
Speaker 2: We'll get to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We've also got a scene of Nannie and Aviv
talking about how they have also kind of realized that
it's going to be three and three and that voting
is going to start getting real fucking weird because you're
after this vote, especially, there's a good chance they're not
gonna be able to deal with not voting in their friends.
They're gonna have to start kicking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty well over after after this vote, like, yeah,
every every alliance is tied to another teammate on another
other alliance, Like yeah, it's gonna get real messy these
next few episodes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's good that they're actually recognizing that. So
I'm happy about that because a lot of times we
see these games where people come in and they're like,
don't from my friends, and then they get so pissy
when they have to start doing it. Guys, that's part
of the fucking game. And both of Viv and Nanni
seem to just kind of realize like, yeah, it's gonna happen. Sucks,
but it's gonna happen. Oh, and then we've got Okay,
so last week you and Ryan talked and there's y
I don't know, hi Ryan, Ryan's in the chat room again. Well,
I don't know if you heard about any of the
social media stuff between Turbo and Sydney. No, Tim, you
want to give a quick rundown on that, just so
that we'll piece up today.
Speaker 2: So I guess Turbo is getting a little territorial over
Sydney to the point and where I think is this
the psychology thing, Carlyn, is where that why you're bringing
this up? If you know, if you know that Turbo
is like sort of encroaching on weird boundaries with Sydney,
you can see signs of it. And I think this
is one of these conversations where there's signs of Turbo's
weird possession over Sydney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, like it's part of it was that apparently
Turbo didn't want Sydney calling her boyfriend, so she finally
got to a point where she was lying to him
and telling him that she wasn't calling him and calling
him anyway. So yeah, this this like weird fucking therapy
session that Turbo gives Sydney. It felt so much more
awkward after hearing that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't like to me that it was
kind of funny and kind of charming, except for the
head on the lap thing was super weird and Sidney
looked very uncomfortable and he just.
Speaker 3: Kept Yeah, she looked super uncomfortable this entire time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, weird scene. Weird scene. Knowing what
it was, it should have been a lighthearted, fun moment,
but had these weird, creepy overtones to this. Yeah little section.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was not not thrilled with watching this scene.
It felt very very awkward. And then we've also got
a scene of Leo and Jake talking to each other
about how they're they're aligned and how even though they're
on opposite alliances, they're not going to vote for you
each other and all that sort of and it just
it felt very like you guys, you guys are rookies.
You think that you're going to be able to vote
however you want. You're such rookies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did like Leo seemed like he was
trying to be really clear here and Jake was not
hearing it. Like Leo is like, Hey, I'm writing with
my alliance, That's what I'm gonna do. We're doing this thing,
and He's like, yeah, but what about Sydney and Turbo
And he was just like no, Like did you hear
what I said? Like, we're not doing it was very weird.
I don't like Jack.
Speaker 3: Well Leo has. I have liked him less and less
every episode now too. There's something about him that I
don't know. I don't know why, he just like it,
doesn't I like.
Speaker 2: I also like Leo Moore every episode le Leo and Theo.
Speaker 1: For some reason, Ryan's posts or double posting in the
chat room. It's weird the fuck Ryan? Would you do
fix your ship?
Speaker 2: Ryan?
Speaker 3: Ryan calls Jake Timo.
Speaker 2: Will Yeah, we've talked about like, slightly crooked eyes are attractive,
I think, but they have to be pointed. They have
to be like cross eyed inwards. The lazy eye is
not sexy. I think it's I think a slight cross
eye could be kind of sexy.
Speaker 1: Bill Scarsguard gets lots of ladies.
Speaker 2: Carly, where are you calling this cross eyes or lazy eyes?
Either neither? You want straight? You want just straight eyes? Yeah, okay,
I thought you'd be more accepting than that. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh. Ryan says that he thinks that Leo might be gay.
I want this once or want this wants to be
want this one to be twice? For real? What I mean?
Your your second sentence doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: No, Leo is he has he said he's I don't
know he has. He said he's either as he declared
a major a major in that way.
Speaker 3: No, not that I know if has he declared a major?
That what you just.
Speaker 2: As he said I'm gay or I'm straight, like as
you hit on a woman in the house, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like is he I don't think we've seen anyway, but
he hasn't declared himself one or another. Okay, all right anyway,
So onto the challenge. The game is called run race.
Mister Wolford, why don't you give us a rundown on that?
Speaker 1: Oh uh? There's like a game board that has a
bunch of ruins in place of numbers, and then you
have to run to the opposite side of the field.
Figure out on the key what the ruins, what numbers
they stand for, do the math equation that will give
you the number for your lock, which is six feet underwater.
Then you have to go unlock it, take the puzzle pieces,
run back, complete the puzzle yep. First to do so
wins good rundown.
Speaker 3: We immediately get THEO talking about a psychic again, Carol.
Speaker 2: What do you how do you say? How do you
feel about this?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: Your little moonbeam with this ship any stock in this
in this psychic?
Speaker 1: Mean what she is?
Speaker 2: You're a little moon beean like you know, you know,
if it works for you, then cool. You seem like
the type that would go to a psychic. Have you
ever been to a psychic? No interest?
Speaker 1: Have you?
Speaker 2: What did they tell.
Speaker 1: You that me and Amanda we're gonna have four children together.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're putting a lot of stock into what psychics.
Speaker 1: Say, apparently, although I was like, so obviously, I told
Cindy this, and I was like, so obviously that was
a bunch of bullshit. She sat there for a second
and she's what how many cats and dogs did you have?
Speaker 2: Oh? I was like, oh, ship, that's how psychics are
always right. You just gotta pretend like they're right when
they're not the right way, yeah, and then and then
they're always right.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah, So this thing the rooms that you have
to look at Sydney immediately like she of course, she
talks a big game. That was the other thing this
entire episode, Sydney and her overconfidence. I you know, I
can appreciate how confident she is in herself, but oh
my god, is it it got so annoying at the end. Yeah,
so annoying.
Speaker 2: I like the confidence, but there is something like you
got to be winning when you exert that much confidence
when you're coming in midpack or towards the bottom. Yeah,
that much confidence it's kind off putting.
Speaker 3: Yep. Yep. So I was not super thrilled with all
of that. Yeah, so Sydney immediately starts having trouble trying
to find her symbols, even though she was talking to
a big game. Mikayla and Cedric are the very first
people in the lake. Of course, they get their symbols,
they figure out their equation, and they are in the
lake almost instantly. Yeah, it was. It was impressive to
see how quickly they were going through it.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: They say that the water is extremely cold, Cedarcasis. You
have to try really carefully to not agitate the lake
too much because the algae will make it really hard
to see and you have to be able to unlock
your lock.
Speaker 1: Is that bad to be swimming in algae?
Speaker 3: That depends on this type of algae, so.
Speaker 1: Don't There's certain types that you can like get super
sick and die from.
Speaker 3: Yes, blue green algae is one of them, and I
think there's Do we think MTV.
Speaker 1: Took enough caution to figure out what kind of algae
it was?
Speaker 2: Yeap, But they all seem like they survived. It's a
good ye. Yes, it's turbos. Turbos and almost survived.
Speaker 1: The Turbo almost almost died.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's struggling here.
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah. Uh. Nannie also tells us that she has
failed math. When she was in school, she failed math
every single year and had to do summer school. So
she and Justin are taking their sweet ass time on
doing this this question. Also, we haven't seen a whole
lot from Justin at all in the last like ten episodes.
It's making the first few and then he just hasn't
said a single fucking thing.
Speaker 2: It's I was going to say the same thing. It's
weird how he like big splash right at the first
of the season and he's still in the game, but
we don't see him much because yeah, he's so for that.
He's not smart and not good at this sort of
math stuff. So it's I don't know, I don't know
what I expected of them, but they did really well considering.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just he's he has just completely faded into
the background other than the fact that he's Nanny's partner.
Speaker 2: Where he was about to drown and we missed it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she's going to the door to check out
the dog podcast.
Speaker 2: Karl.
Speaker 3: Sorry, she's meerkatting over the over the door.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure the cat that likes
me is outside so you won't come.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is when we get Turbo going into the
water for the first time and immediately tells us that
the water is freezing, and then he's freezing him to.
Speaker 1: The problems, Tim, you can relate. It's that first step
in when the water hits your nuts for the first time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you get the punch of the stomach. Yeah. Also,
he's he is sick at this point, but he's not
making a big deal out of it, like in the
confessionals and stuff. Anyway, we don't we see from like
other people that he's feeling sick. But yeah, I wonder
if he's got a fever or something.
Speaker 3: Because he's like, yeah, shaking pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: And people look cold, but not like like Turbo looks like.
Speaker 3: He looks like he's having issues, like serious problems dealing
with all of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, they kept saying that the water was six feet deep,
And where where in this entire thing was it actually
six feet deep, because not once did it look like
they were in water that was more than like four
feet Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think they must have been lying about that. TJ
said they had to swim down six feet unlocked the thing.
But we saw many of their feet sticking out of
the water kicking while they were doing the lock. So
it must have been four feet underwater or something, you know,
something that allowed their feet to get out of the water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very strange. Will and Olivia, of course, are
clashing on their puzzle on how solve it? On what
the answer is? Uh, and to.
Speaker 1: Be fair, Olivia's terrible math.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Olivia is the Will. Will asks asks Olivia what's
eight plus nine? And has to count on his fingers
And the only thing I could think of was, hey, John,
what's eight times nine?
Speaker 2: It's so weird that equations are so similar. Will is
unbearable to me. I can't fucking tolerate that guy. He
is the worst player I think I've ever seen on
the challenge. I really hate this guy.
Speaker 1: I think it's Olivia, though, is not great either.
Speaker 2: I also hate Olivia, but not not like I hate
well Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like she's he's trying to like
save himself and she's so bad at a lot of
this ship that he's like Unfortunately, he has to be
that type that just like overpowers her and it's just like, no,
we're not doing that. We're gonna do it this way.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's he's right every single time,
but if my entire game was stuck in her hands,
I might feel the same way.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess I just don't see it.
He's just like, it's you know, I understand feeling frustrated
with Olivia. I don't like his sort of whole demeanor
about it of just like I'm right, you're wrong, you suck,
I'm awesome. You know, I'm gonna let her try it
while I do nothing, and then I'm gonna take charge
and tell everybody to shut up while I do. Like,
I don't know, it feels like they could have worked together,
and it feels like he could have I don't know.
It feels like that their team dynamics that they're struggling
over seem like it's his fault yep.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean yeah. I also I don't know that
i'd be able to deal with her. But when he
like when THEO tries to help them, and granted, THEO
is also an idiot and it tells them something completely wrong,
it gives them the wrong, like he just rather than
like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And when they did find and I'm fast forwarding a
little bit, but when they did finally get the puzzle
pieces out, the first thing he said is he popped
up out of the water. Was told, you like, come on, like,
that's a weird fucking thing. You're gonna rub it in
the middle of the challenge, man, like, go finish it.
Speaker 3: I don't know it just I just don't don't like
it either. He just he's turned out to be a
real asshole. He kind of faded into the background to
begin with, and then he just turned into a complete
and total dick.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's his wiener. Oh god.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh but Justin and Nannie are They follow Cedric
and Michaela into the water pretty quickly, but they are
the first people to get their their puzzle pieces out
of their out of their box, which is like, where
the fuck is this nanny? Then this nanny competed in
challenges this way years ago, like she may have actually
done well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Justin is a great partner for her.
They seem like they are just on the same wavelength.
They work together really well, as long as I don't have.
Speaker 3: To carry anything too heavy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's they're both sort of mid level competitors,
but you put them together, they're fucking rocking it. Like
they're doing really well every challenge. It's it's weird they
just compliment each other well or something.
Speaker 3: Oh, she's make Fanning back at the door again. M yeah,
I agree, Like it's it's fun to see her do
well this episode, well really this season. Like ultimately they
get back to their their puzzle puzzle board and Cedric
and Michaela are on their heels because that seems to
be pretty consistent for both of them, and it turns
into like a almost like a three D Tetris tanagram
type of thing, and Cedric has Michaela they figured this
shit out.
Speaker 2: Mhm.
Speaker 3: It's it's I mean, it's it shouldn't be surprising, but
it's it's impressive to watch the two of them do this.
Michaela is clearly very good at these sorts of things.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Cedrican and Michaela win like very handily, very very handily.
Speaker 2: Yep. In the Confessionals post win, they say something like
I forget the chance they said that you might have it, Carl.
It about just sort of like fade away. Don't make
a big deal out of this.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I totally miss that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, they said something about like just sort of
I don't know, the impression was like we're just sort
of quietly winning, Like, Yeah, what we have to do
is all we have to do is win and stay
out of the way, which does seem like what their
strategy is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, making that just a big deal about it. Yeah,
and then justin Nannie finished second. Ashley and Sydney are
both having serious problems with avery, serious issues with their
math skills, even though both of them taught themselves to
be good at maths, good at puzzles. And Ashley starts
crashing the fuck out. She is losing it.
Speaker 2: She must it must have gotten worse than we saw, though,
because they everybody talks about her losing it. But what
we saw wasn't Ashley level melt now that we're used to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it definitely wasn't the smashing that we've seen
in previous seasons. But I think it's probably on the
higher end of what they have seen this season. Yeah,
barring her like fight with Anye step back at the
house two episodes ago. But we do get it. We
get a great a viv trying to walk through water
that's like at her neck.
Speaker 2: She says, like, nobody seems to have problems with this
water because they're over five feet tall. But I can't.
I can't do it. Yeah. That's where being a little
bitty is not going to be so good for a
viv yep yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it kind of comes down to Olivia and
will and Ashley and Leo. And even though Ashley and
Leo seem to get their puzzle pieces get their lock
undone faster, their puzzle pieces get stuck when they're trying
to get them out of their box. And I don't
know if it's just they're like wrenching on them sideways
or what, but this is when we see Ashley really
crashing out because they can't get their puzzle pieces out.
They're stuck in the middle of the water, and everybody
else finishes. So Ashley and Leo loves they are automatically
going into the arena.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And this is where this is the only part
why I don't like Leo, because he's he's saying the
right things, but you can tell he's like pissed. He's
not in a good supportive partner place. He looks like
he's in a blaming Ashley for this lost place. Yep,
but he's suppressed. You know, he's not saying it, but
you can just tell him his face he's pissed.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, you can definitely tell them he's pissed. Yeah.
So they go back to the house. Uh, the two
alliances are kind of having conversations about, oh, well, we
now each get three votes, so how's this going to go?
Who are going to vote in? And of course Big
Alliance is Duff. We're voting for THEO and Adrian Again.
I don't know why anybody would even think anything else.
And Small Alliance seems to kind of be going between
Sydney and Turbo and Jerremina Beve. But Sydney is having
a really hard time with how well she's doing in
the house and the fact that she and Tbro are
not doing very well. And she starts talking to Turbo
about how stupid the rest of the house is and
he's kind of like, you can't do that that everybody
in the house is listening always, Yeah, but she doesn't
seem to care.
Speaker 1: We talk a moment of fucking Turbo wearing his speedo,
sprawled out on that full couch. Yeah, multiple shots story
crotch up that they have to do.
Speaker 2: Who's the cameraman here, jesus. Yeah, I mean if I
look like Turbo, I might be lounging out like that too,
But yeah, I don't need to see that on my screen.
You know.
Speaker 3: Do you think that all the guys that go to
Turkey to get hair transplants get hair transplanted off of
these Turkish guys that have such a luxurious head of
hair that it makes like women like myself jealous. This is.
Speaker 1: Turbo. Turbo's a specimen, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: I mean the amount of hair that that man has
on the top of his head, it is so thick
and luxurious. I wonder people go to Turkey to have
their hair specifically.
Speaker 1: For us, that us people that can't grow it jealous.
Chris says he's just rocking with this cock out. I
learned that earlier this season.
Speaker 2: What were the other ones? I forget the other ones?
They were saying suns out, burns out. He both works.
Speaker 1: Ct made sure to demonstrate that one.
Speaker 2: Out, Carlin's favorite scene of the season, asked, yes.
Speaker 3: It was funny. All right, we're on the club night
Lamess club night ever.
Speaker 1: Energy to burn our forties all club nights.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So Leo is talking a lot about how,
you know, he's not going to stop working, and that
he's really gonna, you know, he's going to keep going
until he can't go anymore, and you know, all of
the typical things. But people say when they're about to
go into an illumination, trying to find your cat out
your window.
Speaker 2: I think I heard him out, Yeah, I think I
heard about that.
Speaker 3: Will he jump up into the window to get back.
Speaker 2: In the house sometimes, Yeah, I'll sometimes throw him. It's
a screen window, so he'll sometimes just throw himself into
the screen. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: He's a cool cat.
Speaker 2: He's a cool cat. I'm telling you, he's pretty sweet.
Speaker 3: But I find it very strange that Leo was talking
about all of this and rather than talking with people
in the Alliance that he just recently said that he
was aligned with, he's talking the UK Alliance Like this
whole conversation is all UK.
Speaker 2: People, waits, who are we talking about Leo?
Speaker 3: When he was talking about how he's not gonna stop
and that he's gonna, you know, he's gonna keep going
until he can't go anymore, and he's you know, not
excited to go into elimination, but he's gonna do it
the way that he can. All that sort of thing
that It just it felt very strange to see him
have this whole conversation but not with people that he's
aligned with.
Speaker 2: Well, they're trying to talk him into voting with them, right,
that's the point of this.
Speaker 3: Well no, but he's the one going in. He can't,
he has no vote.
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, yeah, I guess by now they know that. Yeah,
you're right, Okay, never mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just I found it strange.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh oh. We get a talking ahead from Cedric, which
I found this. I found this to be surprisingly insightful
for a rookie. Uh. He talks about how everybody is
trying to manipulate the vote. Everybody's trying to manipulate everybody
else and but really everybody is trying to not get
killed by Turbo. They've got the They go over to
Turbo's face and he's got you know, his typical like
maniacal smile and his and his sunglasses down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and these are more weird scenes because Sydney is
always right by a Turbo's side, which makes me think
like he's not letting her kind of meander around. So
many of these other scenes, we get partner like we're
seeing right now, partners split off from each other, kind
of politicking apart from each other. We don't see them apart,
which is weird.
Speaker 3: No, ever, it's very strange.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we don't have to go talk to people
about stuff because yeah, whatever Turbo reason he came up with, yep.
Speaker 3: But then we got I think this may have been
my favorite set of scenes in the entire episode. We
get Adrian walking up to Aviv and Jearimi and basically
giving them an all to mate them, saying like, you
guys should vote with us and put Turbo and Sydney in,
or you guys are going in. And the way that
it sounded like she was coming over to like she
kept saying she was coming over to give an olive
branch and that she was trying to like be happy
and cheerful about it. But like the way that she
went about this was I don't know, what do you
guys think?
Speaker 1: She's dumb?
Speaker 2: Who is this she were talking about?
Speaker 3: I've lost the tree the scene that's happening right now, yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, trying to act like she knows how this
game works, and a BEVs like, oh sweetie, I've won. Though, yeah,
I don't understand what her why she thought this was
gonna work.
Speaker 3: Well, and like she actually had leverage too.
Speaker 2: They're just desperate right there. They want because they know
it's three to three. They just want anybody, They want
any one team to vote with them. So I think
they're just trying to plant little seeds of doubt amongst
the other alliance.
Speaker 1: So I think that doesn't know how to plant properly, because.
Speaker 2: It's probably that's probably true.
Speaker 1: Her way of doing it is going to piss them
off to ensure that the next vote, her and THEO
are definitely getting their vote thrown on them.
Speaker 2: Keep talking, removing my screen because yes, my cat is
out there yelling at me. Maybe I will be able
to bring a cat.
Speaker 3: Onto This is great. This is great for a for
an audio podcast.
Speaker 2: It's like when you were yelling at your cat at
the door.
Speaker 3: I was, well, I was yelling at the dog.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christy, what is happening there? Mean that was an accident?
Speaker 1: Drop your screen? I dropped the.
Speaker 2: Screen, yeah, onto the big like I got one of
those like plastic like a who cares, it's not it's
not important.
Speaker 1: Move on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I found this whole scene where is
trying to trying to sway a viv and year me
very funny because it just it was it was so
clear that like Adrian has no real pull in this game,
and that she just she looks like she's trying to
make threats but she can't back up.
Speaker 2: But it's smart that they're trying to find little cracks
in this alliance, I think, I mean, yeah, smart to
this She's just like to go around and try to
get one more vote is smart?
Speaker 3: I think it is. But I feel like you need
to not go directly to the to the team that
has been in cahoots with Turbo and Sydney the most
since the beginning of the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bad approach, but not a bad idea, I think,
is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. So we're back in the
house the next morning. Uh, Turbo very obviously is not
feeling well. Sydney says that he has a temperate regulation
for temperature regulation problem, which, yeah, that's the same right
behind you that he is literally sitting in the bed
and his whole body is shaking.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I relate to this fevers a lot. Are you guys
fever people? Do you guys get the fevers? You must not.
Speaker 1: I had one yesterday, but not THEI.
Speaker 2: But when I'm when I'm sick, like I I almost
always have a feed every time I'm sick. Is fever
is one of my things? It's not you No. Yeah,
so I I relate to Turbo. I'll have a cold
with like one hundred and one degree fever and be
shaking like that. All right, Yeah it sucks.
Speaker 3: No, no, no fevers on my end. Yeah, And then
we get THEO. We'll move on to THEO talking to
the rest of the UK Alliance about how he thinks
that he can flip Nanny to vote Jeremy and Aviv
by telling her to save Turbo.
Speaker 2: This is smart, This is smart. I'm going to defend
the You if you're gonna if you're gonna say he
shouldn't do this, this is a smart plan.
Speaker 1: I think, Chris thin, you have a lot of bodily infections,
which you're getting lots of fears.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: I don't even think I get one fever. I would
just say every time I fever, no, no, no, no, No,
I get sick, not even once a year. But whenever
I get sick, of fever is part of my sickness. Yeah,
and I know that's rare for a grown adult, but
that's that's me.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I don't get fevers very often, at least
not that I know of.
Speaker 2: Excuse, I'm sorry, boring one.
Speaker 3: Yep, I lost my spot in my notes where it
was a.
Speaker 1: He has a genius idea to get Nanny to flip.
Speaker 2: He does have a idea.
Speaker 1: He does.
Speaker 2: Very smart idea, very smart, very smart again, poorly executed.
Smart idea.
Speaker 3: It's I think worked on Nonny a few years ago, and.
Speaker 2: I think it would have worked on Nanny had he
planted the seed twelve hours earlier. I think Nanny would
have changed her mind and vote because we've seen we're
going to see it. I will give you that she
regrets it. She doesn't. She feels like she made the
wrong choice.
Speaker 3: I will give you that. If he had planted the
seed in a more in a friendlier way, twelve hours
prior to this, then he may have been able to
do it.
Speaker 1: But but he did because he's.
Speaker 3: The way that he did it. No, he the way
that he did it felt like he was calling her
out and that just pissed her off. But then we
also get a Viv and Anissa sitting down, and it
makes it kind of so like, I know that the
THEO has been talking about wanting to get Turbo to
go into elimination, but it ultimately it doesn't really seem
like that's who they really were trying to get in.
It really does seem like they were trying to get
a Viv and Jeremy because this conversation between Aviv and
Anissa felt very much like Anissa felt like got caught
with her him in the cookie jar and was trying
to play it off like she didn't. It felt like
they really were trying to get a Viv. Yeah, that scene,
we're trying to get a Viv and Jeremy into the
elimination over Turbo and Sydney.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: This we see a Viv politicking pretty hardier. She's trying
to get Anissa to say, I'm not going to vote
for you, and she Anissa says that to her, which
is kind of shocking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's also like Anissa kinda it was
one finally confronted by someone who's not necessarily in her alliance,
but like by someone who she considers a friend to be, Like, dude,
would you actually vote me in? Like, I wouldn't do
that to you if there were other choices.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was manipulative too. I mean, I think
of you, because I do think of Viv and Jearimi
are at the bottom of the other alliance. So I
think that they're right to be the ones that they're
picking on, you know, THEO and they should be taken.
Speaker 3: Because the other alliance is Turber and Sydney, Ashley and Leo,
Nanny and Jeremy, not Jeremy, Nanny and Justin, Mikayla and
Cedric and then Aviv and Jeremy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I think Leo and Ashley are
at the very bottom but there in any way, and
Jeremy and Aviv are second or the second bottom. I
really do think that you guys disagree.
Speaker 3: I mean I guess. I guess it depends on who's
leading the alliance. Like if you look at it by
it's either as Sydney and Turbo and Jeremy and Aviv
are at the top two spots, or it's Nanni and
Ashley with their partners are at the top two spots,
but I feel like Mikayla and Cedric are not very
high up there. They seem to just kind of be
coasting along just on that alliance for convenience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see. My
impression is those two are the bottom two teams of
that alliance. But I guess I have nothing to back
that up.
Speaker 3: Yeah that might be. I don't I'm not really sure.
But yeah, So we are now onto nominations. You don't
send my name, bitch, all right? Uh Turbo or not?
TJ said. He says, you know, does somebody wants to
take a claim? Nobody says take a claim? And he's
about to go into the actual nominations, and this is
when THEO stands up and does what Wealthy.
Speaker 1: Does this whole diatribe about how like, well, if Nannie
wants to save Turbo, she should vote for jear Me
and Aviv and you know, otherwise it's going to be
a fifty to fifty coin flip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it also goes in on how like, well,
you know, the Turbo if he were in this situation,
he would definitely vote so that Nanni would be safe.
So he's fully trying to guilt tripp her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yea works. He gets in her head, Like it
doesn't work at the Vie. He gets in her head,
gets in her head for sure.
Speaker 1: With this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: It doesn't work in the way that he wants it to,
but it does get in her head. But yeah, I Sam,
I do agree. If he had planted this in a
friendlier manner twelve hours, twenty four hours prior to this,
then this may have actually worked. But because he called
her out in front of everybody and tried to make
it this big thing, it just failed miserably and just
kissed her and everyone else.
Speaker 2: All Yeah, I agree. It's another thing like the execution
wasn't so great, but I do think the idea was
really good. And it's one of these things like you
don't really think about it in the moment, but yes,
Nannie could have saved Turbo and she didn't. And you know,
like THEO planted that seat in her head and it
made her fear really guilty and horrible later in this episode.
So yeah, we'll we'll see if it impacts the rest
of the season, But I think it was a good
plan for a desperate guy like THEO, Like, I don't
blame him for doing it, and it is a game
like it's nobody should take this home. It's a game
move who cares.
Speaker 1: But it was not gonna work at all.
Speaker 2: Ever, I think it could have. I think not a nominations.
He shouldn't have said it nominations. I do think he
could have made this plan.
Speaker 1: Even if he did it beforehand, like Scott points out,
or I mean Chris points out, Turbo would have not
let it happen. Turbo just would have volunteered to go in,
just like, Okay, I'm going in then, and that would
have been the end of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we'll never know.
Speaker 1: His His plan on people was idiotic, and he gave
this big, old blustering speech and Nan he's like, that's
fucked up, and everybody was like boo, boo, theo booth
this man. So people boot him and they're like, all right,
you want to fucking play that way, then we won't
vote for you. How don't we throw in, uh, your
girlfriend over here? How about we throw her name out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the moment they said that, he shut up, really shut.
Speaker 1: Up real quick because his plan was stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I just disagree. He's just like he
has to do something. He's he's playing from the bottom.
You gotta do something. You got to make a move.
I don't blame him at all, and I think it
was smart.
Speaker 1: The biggest problem we're not.
Speaker 3: Disagreeing, we're not disagreeing with him doing this move. It
was his execution of this move.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The biggest problem with this whole thing is the leading
all day leading up to it, him just sitting around
just like this is the most full proof, clever plan.
There's no way this fucking telling Sydney to her face like, oh,
we've got to figure it out. There's a way for
you to get out of this. We can't tell you
how it is, but you'll see when it happens, and
you're gonna be so thankful. And he looks like an
idiot because he's a fucking moron.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's yeah, I can't remember what it
was in the chatter. I think Chris who said that
he thinks that he's cleverer than he is, and yeah,
I mean if he even that morning, if he had
gotten up that morning and you know, they talked about
this whole plan, and then he walked into Nannie's room
and was kind of like, hey, you know, most of
us want to go for Turbo and Sydney, but and
like figured out a way to talk to her about
it then, or even sent Adrian in or Olivia, like
since someone else over the hell sent Anissa to be like,
you know, you could probably save Turbo by voting someone else,
Like there are so many ways that he could have
done this, that his alliance could have done this, and
it would have worked. But yeah, his execution of it
was just fucking novel. And I agree with Scott in
the in the chat room who said I wish that
Nanny would have voted in Olivia just as a big
fuck you to him. I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Nanny would have voted Olivia, it's still it
wouldn't have changed anything, right it STI would been Turbine Sydney.
It just would have guaranteed it they would have gone
to the tiebreaker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean potentially, So that was Oh, I forgot
to mention that earlier. This is I think the first
episode that they mentioned that they vote in the nominations
in order of how they finished the challenge. So because
Nonnie and Justin finished first, they got to vote first.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, I mean there's the chance that if they had
voted Olivia and Jake that Jake will well whatever, Olivia
and her partner Oi will Yeah. There's the chance that
the other three people on their alliance, may or other
two people on their alliance may have fallen in line
and done the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so would have gone to fifty fifty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I think that was that Lee or THEO
just wanted to avoid the fifty to fifty, Like, I
really think that was it. He just wanted one person
to not vote for him, and he thought Nonny was
the best chance to not vote for him, So that's
who he targeted. It didn't work out.
Speaker 1: His planets just honestly plan.
Speaker 2: It was a good plan. It was still failed, but
it was a good plan.
Speaker 3: If he had if he had thought about it for
longer than thirty seconds, he would have realize the bless
the best people to go and do that word Mikayla
and Cedric. Mckaylan has already said in her confessionals more
than a few times that they need to get Turu
and Sydney out.
Speaker 2: They can't vote Mchaelen Cedric their first. They can't vote,
Oh that's right, or be voted for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah that they.
Speaker 2: Were, Yeah, tight spot. That's the thing like that, there's
very few choices. What's weird to me, though, is that
nobody is taking a claim. This also seems like the
point THEO should have staked a claim on Sydney. Frankly,
THEO taking out a sick Turbo, Like, that's what you
should have done. Yeah, it's weird to me that we've
gotten Yeah, we've gone two episodes now that I think
THEO or Sit or Adrian, one of them should have
staked a claim and they haven't, And that's weird, Like,
why aren't they taking a claim? It seems like THEO
should want to THEO especially should want a better partner.
You would think he could get Sydney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially because Turbot was sick, like that would
have been the perfect time to try and get it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so super weird that didn't happen the O, I
think that would have been the better plan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway too. In nominations, it ultimately ends up tying
up between uh Turber and Sydney and THEO and Adrian.
TJ gives them another chance. It holds front holds firm,
so it goes to a coin toss, and Turbon and
Sydney lose the coin toss, are we're just going to
be Turbo and Sydney versus Ashley and Leo.
Speaker 2: Yep, the loving life right now? THEO, how do you
guys feel about THEO celebrating this whole thing?
Speaker 1: Well, because they're all celebrating like we did it, guys,
we did it, and it's like you didn't do ship.
It was pure goddamn life. If t J would have
caught the coin instead of letting it apparently fall in
the pool the way they shot it anyway different Yeah.
Speaker 3: The last time they did the coin flip it went
into the pool as well. It felt it felt very
shortly catch the coin, So.
Speaker 1: If TJ would have caught it, maybe it would have
been different.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean literally, I've got a fifty fifty shot.
Speaker 2: But Wolfy, don't you think there's something about them being
so like THEO and Adrian did take out the three
teams that it took to even up the playing field.
So it's taken now like four or five weeks to
get it even and this is the point where it is.
Now they are going to be in the majority because
it's two of the opposite alliance going against each other.
So they did. It's taken them weeks, but now they
are in the majority of the house. They deserve to celebrate.
I think you don't think so.
Speaker 3: In the house, it's still three teams versus four teams.
Speaker 1: Literally next week, all they they what they could do
is let one side of the house let Theo's alliance,
like one of those teams win on purpose.
Speaker 2: Right, and then it's even again, and then just make.
Speaker 1: Sure that they all try to finish before another alliance.
It's three verses.
Speaker 2: Four, but we know that two teams can't vote yeah,
every episode, so it's it really again, it depends on
who wins and who loses. So yes, well you're right
if you can guarantee that the other team is gonna
both win and lose. But you can't guarantee that. So
that's that's the trail.
Speaker 1: You could all guarantee the one of them is going
to win, which will get their vote.
Speaker 2: Away, unless unless they will just sit down, like what
then like if nobody wants to win, they all just
fucking take a seat.
Speaker 1: Then what TJ says, you're all going into that.
Speaker 2: We have a purge. Yeah, I guess we'll see. I mean,
I really think at this point it really like so
much depends on who finishes first next challenge, which is
very it's a it's a strange place to be.
Speaker 1: Scutt says, I hate the coin flip. Let the team
going in choose, choose, choose out of the two teams
that got voted much better.
Speaker 3: I agree. I feel like we said that the last
time that they they did the coin flip as well. Yeah, yeah,
I hate the coin flip.
Speaker 2: I do too, because usually these teams are punished if
you can't make a decision, they're punished. There's no real
punishment here. It's it's coin flip, which it's Yeah, it's
kind of bullshit.
Speaker 1: Chris thinks there will be a claim soon from Olivia.
Oh it's possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's the other one. Yeah, why didn't they stake
a claim this episode, Like it seems Turbo's not good,
like somebody should have taken Sydney. It's weird they didn't.
Speaker 3: It is. But yeah, see, yeah, we get before we
go into the elimination, we do get some scenes from
the especially Nannie. She confronts THEO, takes him outside and
it's just like, what the fuck, Like, we've known each
other for apparently they've known each other for seven years.
I didn't realize that. I mean it did, but it
just it feels strange to think that War of the
Worlds where she met Turbo and THEO was seven years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: It's wild to think that it was that long ago. So, yeah,
she confronts THEO and it's like, what the fuck was
that calls mad on his bullshit? And when she calls
met on his bullshit, he's kind of uh uh, but
didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry, Like, he
backs down real fast.
Speaker 1: So this is one of the things I hate about THEO.
As much as Tim loves him this season, everybody knows
how much I fucking can't stand Johnny Bananas. Whatever, at
least he will back his ship up. Yeah, you get
into a one on one situation with him, he will
still be the same Johnny Bananas. He will. He will
back his decisions up for better or worse, but he
at least will die on that hill.
Speaker 3: Yes, yea. So many times you.
Speaker 1: Get him in a one on one and he does
have his little group of friends around for him to
try to impress. He gets real quiet, and all of
a sudden it becomes very apologetic about everything. Yeah, because
he can't live up to the bullshit that he pulls
in front of everybody else.
Speaker 2: I have a different reader. I just think he doesn't
take it as seriously as Bananas. He doesn't feel like
he has to. Well oh shit, I just disconnected again
the audio track you are son of a bitch. Well,
let me say this real quick, because yes, he doesn't
like he doesn't try to justify it exactly, but he
does say like, hey, it's a game and I'm sorry
it pissed you off, but like it's a game move.
You shouldn't see all that shit. All right, I got
to restart my shit again. All right, all right, I'll
be back.
Speaker 1: I mean I seems the new Zac apparently, right.
Speaker 3: No, I mean yeah, THEO does do the like it
was a game move, but he does it in a
way that is like, oh.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what do you mean to make you cry?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets a little sad and pathetic about it,
whereas Johnny would have, like Bananas, would have just been like, yeah,
it's a fucking game move, like and.
Speaker 1: And when you do it to me, it'll be super personal,
and I will take it as such.
Speaker 3: It well, I will be super hypocritical about everything that
I'm saying right now, and I will be very pissed
off when you do it to me.
Speaker 1: But but at least he's consistent.
Speaker 3: Yep. Um yeah uh oh. And we also get Nannie
going to Turbo and telling him, you know, I'm so
sorry that I didn't save you, like after THEO told me, I, like,
I realized I could have saved you.
Speaker 2: Seem to visit, look at that logo.
Speaker 3: Cute. Yeah, she kinda tells the Turbo like, yeah, I'm sorry.
I now I realized I really could have saved you.
But I know that you would have done that for me.
You would have thrown yourself in if it meant saving me.
And Turbo's like, no, don't worry about it, like I'm
not gonna let you uh go in or you know
fight my battles. I will. I'm gonna go down there
and we're gonna win, and like he has absolutely no
problem with it.
Speaker 1: So Turbo is definitely the type that's like, yeah, don't
you don't risk your game over that whole situation. Yeah, yeah,
I will go down I will handle my own situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, turbot husble. He seems to have absolute issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will not take it personally. How that situation
played out.
Speaker 2: There, there is a special relationship between Nanni and Turbo,
Like those two are like they just have a weird relationship.
It's nice to see them anytime they talk. It's nice
to see them talk. Yeah, he says, He says all
the right things. He's like, I don't give a shit, Nannie.
I'm to come back to you. You're fine, don't worry
about It's a game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, non, he's his mom, remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hm hm.
Speaker 2: At least Turbos chilled the funk out. Bye, Tim, God,
damn it, dude, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Bye? Zach.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'll be back again.
Speaker 1: Let's have a million new tracks.
Speaker 3: Yep, half on with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh so yeah, we're onto elimination. So it is Ashley
and Leo versus Turbo and Sydney. The game is called
Wake Me Up, which felt like a weird title for this.
It's wake me Up, Wait me Up? Oh that makes
more sense. Yes, that makes a lot more sense. All right, So, uh, Tim,
are you actually back?
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave my camera off because I don't know,
that feels like it might help. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Okay, you want to explain the elimination to us?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure.
Speaker 2: So the ladies are suspended in like a seat, so
they do nothing. They do zero while the men make
thirty five rounds back and forth carrying these cannon balls
that look very heavy. They put these cannonballs on a
windmill type of thing that lifts these ladies up in
the air. While the ladies are being lifted, they grab
puzzle pieces. Once the ladies are all the way at
the top, they can go back down assemble the puzzle
pieces that are, you know, a math problem, and the
winner wins.
Speaker 3: There you go, Okay, when you guys saw the triangle
with circles on it for the puzzle, did you immediately
know what it was?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, you did?
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, I got it immediately, have been my friend? No, well, no,
I like when I saw a when I saw a
triangle that had like a bunch of short it was,
you know what, nine circles on the in it. I
immediately be like, oh, we know what this is. We've
seen this a million times, Like this is of course
going to be that six circles and it's me. It's
going to be that same math puzzle we've seen multiple
times where every side has to make the same amount, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same as that.
Speaker 1: Ashley said she knew how how it worked, and they
did the whole diagram of it, and I was like, well,
that must be how it works.
Speaker 2: Yep. She seemed real confident that she knew. This is
not wrong, carl and I need to see. I need
to see like other times they've done this, because this,
I mean, it reminds you of Sudoku, but it's not
the same because Sudoku's columns and lines and this is
just one diagonal.
Speaker 1: Since you said, since you, Carlon, you said that we
had seen it before. I did go back in the
roll of decks try to figure it out. And they've
done it with barrels, but for you to drag barrels
over had numbers on top and align them correctly.
Speaker 3: The center barrel had like you know, thirteen or twenty
one or twenty seven written on it. Yeah, and then
the outside barrels had single digits and they had to
put them in a way that made the outside all
three of the sides equaled what the middle number was.
And I thought, for sure, Ashley knew this immediately, knew
what this was immediately, and it seemed like she it
seems like that's what she was describing. But then she
failed so miserably when they uncovered that thirteen in the middle,
and it was like, I, how how did you fuck
this up? Like, the big numbers don't go on the corners,
The big numbers go in the middle because you can't
use two big numbers at the same time to make thirteen,
like sixty seven makes thirteen on its own.
Speaker 2: But the middle number sixth sevener though, was covered until.
Speaker 3: Yeah, until they got all their part their their pieces, so.
Speaker 2: They couldn't have done them. They couldn't have solved it
before they uncovered They didn't know the number they were
solving for. But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if you didn't know the number. Even
once they uncovered it, they still had major issues.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, sure, yes, yeah, And that's I do have
a problem with that. That's weird. It seems like they
should have figured out earlier, because yeah, it's you know,
it's not immediately obvious to me, but it you know,
by about the third time you fail, it should be
pretty obvious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it. It just felt very strange to me.
I felt like she should, of all people, should have
understood it earlier back at the door.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the math puzzle queen. Yeah, who already who
already failed the math puzzle previously, Yeah, should have stepped
it up here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And Turbo's sickness is clearly coming into play on
this because he it takes him significantly longer, Like, I
think Leo has three balls on him getting all of
their balls back into the arena.
Speaker 2: And how heavy do you think these cannon balls are?
Because we saw them both pick them up. I think
they're more. We saw them both pick them up and
both of them said like holy shit, like as they
picked up the first one. I think those are like
thirty pounds each. Those seem big to me. I don't know,
balls big balls. And yeah, they're carrying them on their
shoulders and stuff like, yeah, I don't know. It just
feels like if there were ten they just be pulling.
I don't they I think they're heavier than they seem.
Speaker 3: I know they could have been. I have no idea.
But yeah, So the because Ashley fails miserably at the puzzle,
they end up losing their lead entirely and Sydney and Turbo.
Turbo then turns his brain on and finishes the puzzle
for them, and Sydney and Turbo win. Yeah, that's the
end of the episode.
Speaker 2: Shocking. Sydney does nothing nothing, She does nothing. Dis elimination
does zero, and they still.
Speaker 3: A big of a game as she touts she has.
For as smart as she says she is, for as
good as she says she is, she is not very good.
Speaker 2: At these Yeah. This is a This is a pathetic
showing from Sydney. I still have I still believe in you, Sydney,
but this is not a great episode for you.
Speaker 1: This is a great segue into the piece of feedback
that we had on Spotify this week. Paul apparently responds
to something that was said last week which I did
not listen to.
Speaker 2: We love you.
Speaker 1: Sydney is not model hot.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Ryan said that. Ryan was talking about. Apparently
Sydney's from a rich family in Beverly Hills, is model
hot and is good at all these different things. So
of course she's got confidence like that or something of
that sort.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's she's she's a beautiful woman. You have disagree
with that yeah, Ryan himself.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would go model hot. Could
you turn her into a model for sure? But just
as it is, Yeah, because right after I like I
read it as I was watching the episode, and I
looked up and there was this very unflattering shot of
her walking sideways into the challenge where she had like
like a little bit of a double chin, like just
kind of like it was completely just you know, relaxed
moment where she was not not camera ready. But I
was just like, okay, yeah, uh, Paul continues, looks like him,
looks like MTV cast the Sea is the favor of
the new threats. This is a weak group of vets
where Jordan, Devin, Kyland, Hirassio to Worry, Laurel, Casey, Rachel
and Jenny.
Speaker 2: He's got the worst list of people.
Speaker 3: Well, and we have seen this feedback a few different times. Like, guys,
some of these people are just not going to come back.
They're not going to get paid the way that they
want to get paid, and n TV is clearly losing money.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, all right, Ryan, Ryan says, on the
topic of Sydney's physical attraction, Let's be real, she's got
to be an eight or higher. That's a model in Ohio.
She doesn't have an elite bod though. Jesus Christ, Ryan, Man,
it's harder to defend you now. I hate that I
judge these people so hard. Yeah, I hate that you
judge them so hard too. I know she's she's super hot.
She's super hot, of course she is.
Speaker 3: I feel like her. I don't like her personality, so
I feel like that weighs into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like her. I like her tea. I could
never be in a room with her, but I like
her personality on TV. I think she's a lot of
fun to watch.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's statements like this is why we
lost a couple of patrons.
Speaker 2: I blame Ryan. That was Ryan's fault, for sure.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the thing. Like, I wouldn't have a
problem with her attitude if she had any sort of
game to back it up. But she doesn't seem to
have any game to back it up.
Speaker 2: So she's doing pretty good.
Speaker 3: She's doing pretty good. They ended up in elimination.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she won for the first time this season, though barely.
Speaker 3: She barely won elimination, and it was all because her
partner did everything. I just don't feel like Sydney's game
has been anywhere near what she keeps touting in this season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, we're saying the same things. She's
awesome and she deserves all the praise that we give
it her idea agree card.
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody at a challenge pot dot com joined the
Facebook group. You can also join a Patreon. What do
people get when they join her Patreon?

Speaker 1: I think when I sent out the Heyward Live email
that reminded him like, oh shit, I'm still on that
Patreon and then he went and canceled.
Speaker 2: Son of a bitch. September of twenty nineteen, rolled In
has been on the on the Patreon.
Speaker 3: Yeah hey, there could be any number of reasons as
to why.
Speaker 1: It's because he hates us.
Speaker 2: We'll miss you rolled In, We'll miss you yep.
Speaker 3: O G O G.
Speaker 1: Does anybody have any social media stuff they want to
talking about?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So really quickly on our Facebook page. We did
get some feedback on Ryan last week. We have Laurie
who says Ryan is a keeper, great pod. Stay focused
on the show. Been listening through the through all the changes,
even though I don't always agree on things said. I
like the podcast and hope that you all keep it
keep on going. Also, Turbo is overrated. He is not
the go to the challenge.
Speaker 2: No, nobody's gonna saye the coat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that anybody who said that he's
the goat.
Speaker 2: But you know, Chris, you have been a subscriber since
twenty twenty June of twenty twenty, twenty twenty twenty twenty,
Barbara Walters, and this is twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And we did have someone that's for the real
on the post where they were the post that was
asking what happened to Zach saying we still don't know
what happened and why Zack is not there anymore. It
was brushed aside quickly. My response to that is the
same as what I will say here. It's a disagreement
outside the show. Sor right, it's not more juicy.
Speaker 1: Happens Tam you switched mics again?
Speaker 2: I know. Fuck, I'm trying not to talk. Sorry a
piece of shit? What can I say? I don't know? Man?
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's do the the fantasy leagues real quick?
Oh why am I not logged into the Rock Private League?
Speaker 2: Let's go over that. Everyone cares. Everyone is very invested
in who's winning on that side. So let's go over that.
Who's winning. I have two players left, right, so you're losing,
But who's winning. I forget who's winning.
Speaker 3: I think winning, right, No, I think.
Speaker 2: I'm winning by a lot. I'm untouchable. I'm definitely gonna win,
So fuck you guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So.
Speaker 1: You ever see those videos tim Or they let the
kid that has like disabilities up to bat and they
all clap when he hits the ball, and then they
let him run around the bases.
Speaker 2: So it seems like I've seen I've seen the movies,
but I don't see that. I don't see what you're
applying to.
Speaker 1: This is that for you?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, that's where I disagree with you. No.
I just paid my dues on the other eight seasons
where I came in last every time, and now I'm
finally first dominating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are dominating.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And the other two teams we don't actually care because
we are doing so poorly.
Speaker 2: I care much. I care a lot, all right.
Speaker 3: And then the publicly, mister nail business, Peter B is
still in first place, which well done, sir.
Speaker 2: He's a cheater. He runs the whole site. He can't win.
He can't win the league.
Speaker 3: That's fine. I mean there's not going to be a
next season for anyone to co host on anyway.
Speaker 2: So good point.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm in second place and third place is Patty Kay.
Why are you here? She moved up two spots. Way
to go, and we have released the Epstein files. Mister
Tim Watson, he has moved up two spots to eight.
Speaker 2: She got to see thirty six days now since that
Democrat won her special election in Arizona, and she's still
not being seated because they don't want to really files.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's kind of along the same lines
of the fact that we're going to be losing the
whole country will be losing snap benefits uh in two days,
and there is an emergency fund that there that the
President is refusing to let us use, and because Congress
doesn't want to come back in session. Yeah, none of
these things are happening.
Speaker 2: That voted him in. That are all about starving children, yep.
And protecting pedophiles. Yes, that's the party, guys, protecting pedophiles
and starving children. Yeah, vote better. Next time in America,
which I do.
Speaker 3: Ryan. I really appreciate everything that you said last week
about us having a platform and being able to use
it and actually say the things that we need to say,
because it's you are absolutely correct. Most people don't have
a platform that reaches more than just their immediate friend group.
Speaker 1: So I have to go this episode now, God damn.
Speaker 2: But also immediate friend groups are a good way to
inspire change. You should have these conversations with the media
friend groups.
Speaker 3: Also, yes, thank you, But us having the platform and
having the ability to say our piece is also important.
So release the Epstein files, release the emergency money for
snap benefits because the governments still shut down and those
things need to be released because people need food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and bad idea to have private citizens fund the
military for a third of a day, like that big
anonymous owner billionaire person did. We should not privately fund
the military. Bad idea, America. Let's not do that.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean things like Lockheed Martin should not be
able to bribe the government either.
Speaker 2: But also that so much shit has broken.
Speaker 1: But were god?
Speaker 3: Welcome to the politics podcast, guys.
Speaker 2: Moving on, let's end this thing. Who went home?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh? The podcast team. We are in nineteenth place,
went down one spot, and mister Woolford is in twenty fourth.
He went up on spot, so that's where we're rappy.
Speaker 2: Well done, well done, good.
Speaker 1: John, Good John, keeping those mid twenties nice and secure.
Speaker 2: We're so proud of you.
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody at every challengepot dot com, join the Facebook,
joined the Patreon, and uh yeah, I guess. For this
episode of Challenges has been Brian Bigga, Sweet Tea, Carling
San Diego and as Nanny said, what's that in your pocket,
into which Will responded nothing, that's my wiener l
