Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to our episode of Challenges. This is
the podcast all about the challenge. We got feedback last
night or last week that I was not loud enough,
so I'm trying to improve. Get audio quality.
Speaker 2: Get closer, even closer.
Speaker 3: Put the microphone in your mouth when.
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, I'm Brian sitting in his house talking about
demon talking about demon hunters.
Speaker 2: Spit on that thing. Big Ard sweet See.
Speaker 1: Sitting in her stupid house talking about all the interviews
she's going to get.
Speaker 3: Ay Harlan san Diego. I'm really excited about them because
the job hunting fucking sucks.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for you, Crian, Thank you.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 1: Also sitting in his house, the recent victim of a theft.
Speaker 4: Zaque bananas.
Speaker 1: Apparently far Yeah, it's hey, everybody, johnsbot dot com ur
in the Facebook group. You can also join our patreon.
Uh yeah, apparently last week me and Zach were super
low and I don't know why because we did the
same thing we always do, exporting these episodes. That means
I may have to actually listen to part of these
episodes before I upload them, which is bullshit.
Speaker 2: Just clicked that normalized button when you export and it's fine.
Speaker 5: I guess so last week I was so low that
I wasn't even on the episode.
Speaker 1: Well you know what I mean. They've complained about you before.
We just didn't fair enough. Hey took notes for this
episode I did.
Speaker 2: This is a season forty one, episode three. It's called
I Am the Challenge. I like these episodes that just
start boom. We're in it. We are. We are at
last elimination. It just ended and we're basically at the
new team selection. Nothing too much to say about here,
but I will just go over the teams real quick.
We've got La Leroy, Turbo, Izzy, Olivia and Justin, will
and Nanni, American Bananas, CTD, Anissa and Jeremy Ashley and
James Cedric and Mikayla Leo and Aviv Naya and Gabe.
This is the first sign of us, or of me anyway,
sort of not liking Gabe. He freaks out being one
of the last picked, and it's like he's got a
chip on his shoulder, fucking right away, and I don't know,
he turns me off like right away in this selection.
What do you guys think about this?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I completely agree. I also was wondering if is there
a rule that we don't know about where they can't
pick someone they've already been paired with.
Speaker 4: I don't like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so like at this point, uh Nya could
only pick Gabe. There was nobody else for her, and
so Gabe was sort of the last and he seems
upset with Naya, but there wasn't any other. Yeah, it's
just the way it worked out.
Speaker 3: You know, He's just an alpha quote unquote alpha male
who's thinks.
Speaker 2: Later, I can't wait to talk about that.
Speaker 1: Turbo brings up some alpha bullshit too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben chooses Kara. I fucking hate Ben. Do you
guys hate Ben?
Speaker 1: I hate I hate Kara.
Speaker 6: So I took a few notes for this one, and
it was I have a feeling that Ben's sportscasting voice
is going to annoy the absolute shit out of me
when he starts getting more screen time.
Speaker 2: That is on. It is Carl. Everything he says, he
says like a sports broadcaster, and it's it sounds no.
Speaker 3: We've got this going on. Can you believe I'm gonna
take the nine time chip?
Speaker 2: It's much, it's annoying, it's it's I do not like it.
It's very an authentic. I'm not into this at all.
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5: But that's also because anytime they say his name, it
takes me like five seconds.
Speaker 4: To remember who he is. Like he got that. He
hasn't made an impression on me yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean according to Leroy, he's Micaulay Culkin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true too. Yeah, he's just a goofball guy and
I hate that. I hate the sports announcer voice where
it sounds like he's trying to go lower in octave
and like like this, and I don't like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tim, I mean like he's got the charisma and
the like, it seems like he could be a kind
of fun person, but then he puts that voice out
and say okay, no, no, now now you've become Derek
just just more annoying.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like intense, weird. Yeah, I don't like this. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Were you a Devn's fan on Survivor? Tim?
Speaker 2: I did like Devons, but he was like he was
authentic when he wasn't doing his character. Yeah, in my
in my experience, is that what you're trying to like
draw the parallel?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, just because you know he has he's a
TV news anchor, and so he could always do his
news voice.
Speaker 4: I didn't know if that bothered you.
Speaker 2: Well, he would do his news voice as a gag
to like make the make the tribe laugh. But then
when he was in these confessionals, he sounded like a
normal dude. I don't know. I guess that was the
difference to me. I did like Devans, Oh, I did.
Speaker 3: When you were reading all the names off and you
said CT and D. I one thought you were gonna
say DM. Oh it came out and I was like, damn, no, no, no, what.
Speaker 2: No different d Yeah, she's dead, Karl.
Speaker 3: I realized that.
Speaker 2: We also get Sydney and Derek THEO and Adrian, Tay
and Derek. So that's all the new teams. And that's it.
With that, we're back at the house already.
Speaker 1: Chick Chicka, Chicken.
Speaker 3: Chicka straightened a drama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get CT and I. They're talking about her
knee right away. She's got a torn ligament. Maybe she's
not sure. Next step seems to be MRI. This is
always bad. Right when he go to the hospital, we
kind of assume, oh, they're going to be kicked out
of this game, and it's about any minute.
Speaker 1: She does not even go to the hospital. Don't even
bring up to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just we just finished Freshman where we saw
Evan push through it.
Speaker 4: She should have done the same.
Speaker 3: I pushed foot through it for a while. But that's
I mean, I feel like that's the difference between I
don't want to say the caliber of the challengers, but
like that's the difference between old school challenge and new
school challenge.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, well, and also a dumb twenty year old
with nothing yeah, versus somebody that's like, do I really
need to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because she's in she's in her mid thirties, and
he was what like twenty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also he was like I might get two thousand dollars.
She could possibly get two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Part half of it. Come on, that's a much better
way to go.
Speaker 2: It seems like the implication is like, nah, you can
play as long as you want, as long as we
don't know there's anything wrong. But the second we figure
out that there's something wrong, like you're fucking out of here.
Speaker 3: Well, as long as we don't initially know that anything's wrong,
like you can play on abum knee as long as
it's just abumnee. The moment we find out what the
actual diagnosis of said bumne is, yeah, the fucked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's the that's the risk of this MRI.
The MRI could clear her and say she's fine or
this is going to take her out, and she could
in theory just I think she could just keep playing
on a bum knee until, yeah, until whatever happens.
Speaker 3: So, okay, if we went back to like the season
where Kara broke her hand, or the season where Hunter
broke his hand, or you know, the season where Melissa
cut her foot open, things like like all of these
different seasons where we've seen people play with injuries, or
when Jordan hit the ground and like fractured his leg
and still ran the final and one, do you think
they would still allow those things to have like they
would still allow those people to continue to play.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know, it seems it still seems arbitrary.
Like you know, we've we've said before, like a single
stitch means you're out, whereas.
Speaker 3: Clearly because Adrian got five stitches or whatever it was
in the bottom of her foot on the first job, I.
Speaker 2: Guess that's true. Yeah, And I guess we thought we
thought she'd be out too, but here she's doing the
water thing and she's not out.
Speaker 3: But like Kara and Hunter both had broken hands, right, yeah.
Speaker 2: And they allowed him to do like eliminations m h
with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whereas Naya is going out for you know, whatever
torn thing is going on with her knee. It makes
me wonder if when she was at the at the doctors,
they kind of asked, you know, if it's X y Z,
do you want to continue on and she may have
said no, I don't want to deal with that, and
then be kind of playing it off like this is
their choice rather than mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, never know, I don't think we get more
of Gabe talking about he hates being picked last Scott.
Speaker 1: Scott says, how did they let Derek continue last season?
He seemed so much worse than Naya does right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if it was a thing of like
he never went and got it checked out, and so
as long as he's you know, as long as we
don't have confirmation from a doctor with an MRI, like
it's kind of on you. Once we have confirmation, that's
that's deep becomes insurance and my ability and who knows.
So Yeah, so this is where Gabe says what he
shouldn't say, I guess about Naya. This comes back several
times in the episode where he's we never even saw
what he said exactly, just sort of that he's talking
about her and not thrilled to be paired with somebody
that's injured with sort of my impression. But we never
heard this, right, we never heard what he said exactly,
just sort of that he wasn't happy with how it
worked out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we heard it by way of the other two
guys who she overheard.
Speaker 2: Yeah. On its surface, though, this is like an okay
thing to say, right, Like it's okay to be upset, like,
ah shit, I'm paired with somebody that that's got an injury.
Like that sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does suck. But at the same time, like,
I mean, yeah, it's totally I it is okay to say,
and I think Nya kind of blew it out of proportion.
But Gabe, I mean, my dude, like, get your shit together,
you you were. I mean, I think he's just not
I think he is. He is just pissed off because
he's one of the largest guys in the house and
he's eating shows last.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely it. He's taking out an eye. It's
not her fault, but he's he is just sort of
pissed about how it shook out, I think, and just
sort of pissed at everybody.
Speaker 3: I mean, and he's he's seeing people like Justin get
picked before him, and I'm sure the fact that Justin
is being picked before him and Ben is being picked
before him is rankling him to no end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, h what are you gonna do? I have no
sympathy for that.
Speaker 1: I was always pissed we have failed WWE stars.
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, and he also seems to not be
very good with the social game, like they say it
multiple times in this episode that like he has not
really endeared himself to anyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't seem very endearing. Franklin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh.
Speaker 2: Uh so Nya overhears this and she's crying. She's also
being super dramatic about it. Yeah, she's crying too. Izzy
and Avive, who is looking smoking if I do say
so myself, Yeah, looks hot. Not been into a Vive
until this exact scene right here, and Sydney is just
standing around, just soaking up, just loving it, just just love.
Speaker 3: How messy Sydney seems to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you going? Are you getting the Sydney love now, Carlin.
Speaker 3: I'm i am. She continues with this messiness. I'm gonna
I'm gonna love it because this is sort of that
sort of drama like ship where it's just just getting
mess I love that ship.
Speaker 2: This is who she is.
Speaker 4: She's growing on me as well.
Speaker 2: I can believe you didn't like her and survivor, Zach.
Speaker 5: I feel like she went on to earlier, like I
don't like I remember her that she was on it,
but I can't tell you a single moment she had
on it.
Speaker 2: Oh, she did the shot in the dark. She got
kicked out of the shot in the dark.
Speaker 1: I was like, really really upset about this whole thing, right, Yeah,
did you say she's blue?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes I would, She's very blue.
Speaker 4: All Right.
Speaker 2: We're under Derek's birthday party at the house. Derek is
this looks fun? Anything to say about this guy?
Speaker 3: The Carlo Mario her roast. I love it. I thought
it was great. Rather than paying to be in a retirement,
get your retirement home to pay you. That was great,
the ship out of a Nissa.
Speaker 2: I loved the you can tell how close we're getting
to the final by CTS jaw line or something like that.
Speaker 3: How much of ce.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was so good. Yeah, she did good. She
did good. But then immediately we get.
Speaker 3: A random non sequitur from from Mikayla, like Carl Kara
doesn't know what's going on in this game.
Speaker 2: I love Mikayla so much, like what where.
Speaker 3: Did you come from? Where did that come from?
Speaker 2: She's great, she's great.
Speaker 3: She's so dead pan. I know, I know, Kayla is
so dead pan.
Speaker 2: She's my favorite. She's my I think she's my favorite
in the house.
Speaker 4: I'm not digging Mikayla.
Speaker 2: Zach, You're so wrong, so wrong.
Speaker 5: I feel like she all her confessionals say she comes
across like she's like she's Bananas or ct or West,
And I'm like, you've accomplished nothing in this game.
Speaker 4: You're talking one of the great agree.
Speaker 2: I disagree to. But Carlyn, why do you disagree?
Speaker 3: I feel like she's she's got just a new take
on the on the game. I don't feel like she's
coming across like one of the players that's been there
for forever. Yeah, I just I appreciate her being just
very like no this is a She's one of the
only players to come in and from the beginning say
this is a game, like we may be friends, but
we are all here for money, and I'm going for
the money. So if that means that I have to
screw over a friend, it's a game. And she's very
very like cut and dry, like I can, you know,
compartmentalize this. I just I appreciate it. And some of
the things so she said, are so deadpan that they're
just fucking great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly why I like her. She she's like
a robot in this game. She's just she's a game game.
That's all that matters. That's all. This is a game game.
And we'll get into it later when she's at the
bar and talking to the rookies about the game too.
I don't think she's acting like she's done it before
and that she's good. I think she's just sort of
like analyzing it, like a yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: It part into trouble her first season, you know, writing
all that shit down, making a list, trying to kind
of figure it all out, which is funny because like
Laurel has done that sort of shit and no one
gives anything like theirs at all when she doesn't.
Speaker 2: Michayla learned from that and now she's her thing is
like don't fucking write anything down. Like everything that she
does is sort of like a lesson. She's learned. She's
gonna do better this time. And yeah, I think that's
why I like Mikayla zach no Rebuttel, I mean.
Speaker 5: I agree with a lot of stuff you said, Like
I like that she's so cold and just like direct
in the game. But just I think what you're alluding
to the later part of the episode when she was
talking to the rookies as just like you're talking like
you're a multi time champion, but like you've done nothing
to really like make yourself an authority of this game yet.
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, I think she was talking like a
VET because and we started complaining about this, like the
collective we of Challenge fans started complaining about this years ago,
when you know, the the rookies you know, on their
second season started getting called vets, and it was like, no, no,
you're not a VET until you've been there for like
four or five, six whatever, or you've won, Like you
don't get that VET qualification until that point in time,
and I think that kind of started the whole thing
off of like the sooner you do one season, Oh no,
now you're a vet, And so I think she's just
kind of falling into that category of like she's been
there a few different seasons, like I know what I'm
doing because I've been here because I'm a vet. Does
that make sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does to me, Yeah, because I do think
she's presenting it as somebody with experience. But I don't
think she's getting out of her head and cocky about it,
at least not in my opinion, you know, Yeah, all right,
And then we get a little bit of Cedric. I
think I like Cedric. He's a little over the top too.
Sometimes sometimes it's a little much for me. But he's
in the pool and people are trying to show him
how to swim, and he's acting like he can't swim.
Speaker 3: It is funny.
Speaker 2: And at the time, I got to be honest with you,
at the time, I thought he was full of shit.
I thought when he was talking to the confessionals and saying, like,
I totally know how to swim. I'm just playing this
up so they don't they don't think I can. I
thought he was full of shit until we see him
perform at the challenge, but it turns out he was
Actually he was saying the truth.
Speaker 5: I was loving this because at first I totally bonded him, like, oh,
this is great because he can hide this and then
like get to the final and swim lapshot on everyone.
But then like a couple of minutes later, I'm like, wait,
he's gonna have to show he's a good swimmer before
the final, Like, there's definitely gonna be war challenges.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he probably could have, you know, Slow played it
a little bit more in this challenge, but you know,
I don't blame him for it. Well, speaking of the challenge,
we are onto the challenge, all right, so as they're
walking up, it's clearly a swim challenge. It's like freaking
you know, in a lake thing.
Speaker 3: Dude, you missed all the drama between Nya and Gabe.
Speaker 2: I have one bullet point that just as Nya talks
to Gabe and I thought, I don't remember what they said,
just gonna.
Speaker 3: Say, yeah, Nya con So before the challenge, Nya confronts
the confronts Gabe, and it's like, how far this was
part of the trailer for this episode, like, how fucking
dare you you know, question in my worth in this game?
I've been to six I've played this game six times.
I've been to however many finals? No, that's now okay,
Like she confronts him and then she goes when she
goes to go get her knee mride, he makes a
comment of, oh, I mean Nia may have just gone
to the doctor to screw me over.
Speaker 7: It's like, what, yeah, that's yeah, well I wonder if
that's what he means.
Speaker 2: Like, she goes to the doctor, finds out something's wrong,
she can't do the next challenge, and screws Gabe over.
I mean sort of exactly what happened. Exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's still when he's it's still when he's
like really pissed at her. So he's thinking that anything
that she's doing is gonna is just to negatively effect him,
because she says like, you know, if you if you
piss me off, if you get on my bad side,
I have the ability to throw you to the fucking wolves.
It's kind of alluding to like she's gonna throw the
challenge or whatever she's gonna do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought this was much from Nya, who is
not a Challenge.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was surprised when she was saying all
of this ship.
Speaker 2: See, Zach, this is what like what you're trying to
say about Mikayla. That's how I feel about Naya here.
She's acting like a champ, like a multi time champ
or something, but she's not that.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: But like she pointed out, she's done six seasons, made
two finals, so she's like, that's better than most people.
Speaker 4: She's made the file more, it is.
Speaker 3: Better than most people. But like she was, she was
good in a few of her seasons, but like the
last few seasons she's been in, she's been just a
fucking cry baby. Yeah, and I feel like her second,
the second final that she went to, she I want
to say she almost got carried there, but I can't remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't remember that. That's the point, right, She's
not a memorable person. Her she drank Zach's sweat is
the most memorable When I look back on Naya's Challenge's career,
that's the most memorable thing that, right, Yeah, something like
not not enough money, that's but that's the most memorable
thing she's done to me, pulled pulled Jordan's pants down sexually.
It sexually abused Jordan on camera, remember that too?
Speaker 3: Yepkay kicked off the got kicked off her first final.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am my.
Speaker 5: My biggest impression of her was when I met her
a year ago. I think she might be the tallest
not just woman, but the challenger I've ever met.
Speaker 4: Towers over them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's a big, big lady.
Speaker 3: It seems like, all right, sorry, I can go wind
up the challenge.
Speaker 2: No, you're good? So yes, obviously a swim challenge, and
we learned that America just learned how to swim, like
to be on this show. What nice good one over
And before they even start the challenge or say what
it is or anything, TJ tells everyone that Naya has
a hurt knee. They're awaiting these m I m R
I resultant Until then, she is not allowed to play
the game, so Gabe can't play either. Wamp wamp kind
of exactly what Gabe was worried about here, it is he's.
Speaker 3: So fucking but hurt too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The challenge is called water Tower. Zach, how do
you play or not? Zach Wolfeye, how do you play it?
Speaker 1: One person has to climb up the tower and then
jump down inside, swim grab a flag, swim under it,
and then the other person has to go start a
puzzle and then they meet up, put the flag in
the thing, finish the puzzle, and whoever gets the best
time with m and fall off the tower. You are
d cut.
Speaker 2: Yep. Uh, so good challenge here, I think. So let's
bring it down a little bit. The first heat we
have Sydney and Derek Kazinski. They're the ones that are
swimming to the tower, Tay and Derek, uh what's the
other Derek's last name?
Speaker 3: Shaves.
Speaker 2: They're staying back to the puzzle, or not staying back,
but swimming to the other platform to do the puzzle.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Sydney fucking crushes it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely wins so fast and then jumps in that thing.
No hasation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're good with your attitude here, carling this
sort of cocky egotistic ship.
Speaker 3: You're into this and this one absolutely deserves it. I do.
I enjoyed watching this challenge. I really wish they had
had a different camera angle for in the tower. I
wish they had shown us a camera angle from the
top of the kind of like looking down into the
tower so we could actually watch them jump because they
kept giving us the go pro footage from their helmets.
I'm like, nothing, this is nothing, this is this is useless.
This is a useless three seconds of them jumping off
into the water and then you just see bubbles, yeah,
or you see people freaking. But why why did they
give that? Yeah, like give us a top down view,
give us an underwater view from a scuba di something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, underwater that is what we needed here because I
got the impression. Did Sydney jump from the top and
in one fell swoop, got all the way down and
underneath it and come back up.
Speaker 3: Yeah. There were a few people who did She did that,
et Cedric did that. I think the did that Noo
fell not THEO. Yeah, there were two or three other
people who did that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I see, and that's I didn't. I didn't get
that because you know, as they described it, I sort
of got it. But it would have been nice to
see it in some way.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I would have liked to know how deep the
tower went in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because like, yeah, in impressive that was.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When you initially looked at it, it looked like it
was like, you know, ten feet down, but then the
way that they were jumping and then going directly underneath it, it
seems like it was like maybe two.
Speaker 2: Feet yeah, yeah, enough people kind of freaked out and
couldn't do it. That makes me think it must have
been longer than two, but yeah, who knows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was probably something like four or five,
like something where you can't just reach down and grab
the bottom of it. But I feel like people were
just freaking out because it's it looked like it was
only what eight by eight, Like, it's not a very
big space for you to be jumping down into. And
if you jump at kind of a weird if you
don't jump at the right angle, like you don't you know,
go pencil or like a fist or what if you
if you'd make a weird movement with your body and
you have all the waves going everywhere and you're trying
to pop your head up, but you don't have a
lot of space, And I could see how people would
freak out like, oh my god, I'm coming up and
I have sobo space and you can only see the
sky in this tiny little square way up above me.
And because we see plenty of people having trouble catching
their breath when they jump into just like a big
giant body of water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamie says, it looks terrifying, and yes it does.
The tunnel adds something I'm not sure what, but like
you can hit the side of it and ship. It
seems scary.
Speaker 3: It so much fun.
Speaker 2: It seems scary jumping in from the But I'm not
a water guy. I don't like jumping from a ship
like that. I would freak out.
Speaker 5: This might be the like another one that I would
that I would want to do, the least like the
jumping part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the least Yeah, liked rother E Cowballs then jump
into this.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 5: Really shit the idea of like once I got down there,
I think that I would like really struggle being down
there looking up just have that small space, especially not
knowing how far under I'd have to go to get out.
Speaker 4: I'm feel like trapped.
Speaker 3: I have a feeling that they probably told them how
deep it was.
Speaker 4: On. All I know is I would i'd be volunteering.
Speaker 3: For that or I mean, like when you're climbing it,
I'm sure you can kind of see.
Speaker 1: That's another bullshit, Zach, because if you climbed up to
the top and TJ was standing up there with all Right, Zach,
you can either jump or eat this bowl of ketchup.
I see you just leaping off, like off the top
of a hell in the cell and just jumping and
just being like, yeah, this is this is uh, I'm done.
Speaker 3: Any listeners, if you are not aware, Zach is very
similar to Jimmy in that he does not like ketchup.
He has a ketchphobia.
Speaker 4: Yes, I would eat the cow balls. I would not
eat the ketchup. I would jump.
Speaker 1: You were insane, sir.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: I think this would be a fun one.
Speaker 2: It's being a freaking out Derek freaks out. What happened
with Derek here?
Speaker 3: I think it's exactly that. I think he jumped in
and cat every fucking week, dude, your cat is there
every week.
Speaker 2: He's so cute.
Speaker 3: So but I think he just jumped in and his
body hit the water at a weird angle and he
was having trouble catching his breath. Because it doesn't look
like it looks like about half of them take their
if not all of them, took their their vests off
before they climbed the tower. So I think he probably
just was having trouble catching his breath and then he
figured it out. Like I think it was an initial
like oh my god, I'm dying because they're like, there's
just a tiny square, and then he kind of realized like,
oh no, if I just like calmed myself down, oh
I'm fine, because then he continued on, right.
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, it's just weird. That's not We're not used
to seeing Derek like that, So that was kind of
a it was weird.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I was sort of surprised that Turbo was the puzzle
guy on his heat his partner is he an idiot?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And Turbo I didn't. I guess like they're leaning into
Turbo's a puzzle whiz this season. I don't think I
knew that Turbo was so good at puzzles, but they
seemed like they're really putting a lot of respect in
the Turbo's puzzle game this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like that was a poor choice though,
because we find out that you can if you even
if you are the one who's doing the tower jumping bit,
you can still help your partner finish the puzzle. So
like they could have sent Izzy to the puzzle, and
she could have been struggling the entire time, and Turbo
could have done He would have fucking smashed the climb
and jump and swim and all of that and still
made it back over to the puzzle in time to
finish it and probably still get a pretty decent time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but I will say for Turbo, to Turbo's credit,
when is he fell, he was just like, hey, no problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He did not seem like he gave a ship. And
this is a very different Turbo than we've seen this.
Turbo gives no fucks this season, right, And I love
this Turbo.
Speaker 4: I also think this is fun.
Speaker 5: If it was a woman's day, if it's a man's day,
I think he'd be a little bit more upset.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think if it were a man's day, if
they knew it was going to be a man's day,
I think he probably would have fought to be the
one to do the power.
Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, he's probably
at a point where he's like, I don't really care
if we don't If we don't do good, it's it's
not my next Who cares?
Speaker 3: Do they know? I don't. I don't think they he
announces that it's a woman's day at that point in time,
does he.
Speaker 1: I don't remember him doing it until afterwards, because that's
when they tell me that.
Speaker 3: She was last.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so then maybe not ye right, well, that's even
I think that they told him before. I you're right,
it was after.
Speaker 1: Well people by then falling off and disqualified. Maybe he thought, oh,
they fell off on the outside of the tower, so
maybe he knew they wouldn't be last. He was okay
with that.
Speaker 3: Well, and then is he falls off the outside.
Speaker 1: Of the tower, just fall off the outside. I thought
for some reason she jumped in and freaked out.
Speaker 2: Maybe she found outside.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, we do already have and honestly,
it might not even be that we already know the
Naya and her partner are not going to be doing
the challenge. So he may have just banked on the
fact that there is automatically someone who's not doing the challenge,
and just like we're going to assume that that that
team is going to be the last place. So maybe
that's why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that's a big part of it.
This Naya kind of took away the motivation to do
well for a lot of.
Speaker 1: People here or like Jamie said, Turbo must have got
a therapist or something.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's his English is very obviously improved
from you know, the past seasons that we've seen him on.
So I think his confidence in just in a mainly
really in an entirely English speaking house has also increased.
Speaker 2: No, so he three, we get Ben and Justin. They're
both climbing Olivia and Kara on the puzzles. Justin does well,
Ben falls, Thank god, I love seeing him do poorly.
And then after that there's really like we don't get
the heats like we usually do. It's really a mixed up,
mashed up montage of a bunch of stuff, so it's
kind of hard to follow. But some hot takes here
or some fast breaks, we get THEO falling. Olivia takes
us really hard and says some really horrible stuff about THEO.
What the fuck?
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think the I don't think THEO
or Leroy fell. I think both of them jumped.
Speaker 2: Leroy said he jumped.
Speaker 3: He did, but the way that THEO fell he was
his body was farther away from the wall. He was
looking down at his feet, and he kind of like
it looks like he releases the wall, not like oh
ship like that. It was a kind of push. I
don't know, it looked like he purposely fell.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think that it goes back to what
you just said, Carlin, that there's not really a big
incentive for them to do well because Naya is probably
going in and so who cares. Yeah, and was kind
of scared, so he just jumped yea THEO. Maybe a Theo.
THEO had something to prove or add something on the line,
he'd do better.
Speaker 1: But like Lea said, he's lost. He lost that fight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he does. His lack of he has to prove
helpfulness to Olivia.
Speaker 3: Anymore, s gag No. I really do wonder if for THEO,
if his lack of potential, lack of depth perception is
something they he and then if that was kind of
fucking with him, like I have to go to the
top of this tower and jump into this thing, and
I'm not going to be able to gauge how deep
it is because you're already looking in this in this
tunnel to jump it. I don't know.
Speaker 2: He shouldn't have done it. Then he's his partner, Adrian. Yeah,
maybe she shouldn't have done it with her foot. Who knows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that Adrian would have been able
to climb that thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 3: It was weird the theofl but it did like to me,
it looked like he purposely fell.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This is where we also get some shots of
the Vets talking about the Threats being better at this
game than they thought. Yeah, we get.
Speaker 3: Some great shots. I love Justin for this of Jeremy.
Justin and I are on the same page there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeremy does it for you.
Speaker 3: I mean, did you see that man?
Speaker 2: I saw him, but you know he doesn't do it
for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's because we know you have horrible taste in men. Yeah, yeah,
Jeremy does it for me. It was watching him like
crawl up the side of this thing, swim really quickly,
crawl up the side of this thing. He was one
of the ones who jumped off and just went straight under.
Like Jeremy's hot.
Speaker 1: Kay wants if year Mean is better looking than Harassio.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think so too. Horascio's face is weird to me.
I know that that's a weird. That's I'm the minority.
His face doesn't look that good to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never plased a passio.
Speaker 2: Uh Aviv and d both jump off the tower but
then freak out as they're like inside the tower and
can't complete it, both of them. That kind of surprises me.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just thought they were both more capable than that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did too, but I think for both of them,
they just hit the water funny and it like splashed
up and they just couldn't get their breath, which is
It's one of those things that like it surprised me
because I get that this is a timed event, but like,
especially for those two, in my head, those two should
have had enough wherewithal to be like okay, just like, okay,
stop stop freaking out, like you know, expand your body,
try to try to float for half a second. Let's
try and calm myself down and take a few deep breaths.
Everything's gonna be okay, Okay, now I can go on
it like it just it seems like a Vive is
a mom. We've seen her compete in a lot of
others MS. She's a champ. Like I don't I just
for both her and kind of the the air that
d D has, I just expected both of them to
be able to like rain themselves back in a little
bit and calm themselves down.
Speaker 2: So I thought so too. Yeah, I was a little
surprised by both of those. Yeah. Uh, this is where
we get Cedric too. You already talked about how awesome
Jeremy was at this, and he was. He fucking crushed it. Uh,
but Cedric kind of slow and steady ended up passing. Uh.
Anissa was his partner? Was Anissa?
Speaker 3: No, so Jeremy's partner was Anissa, and Anissa was was
failing hardcore at the puzzle. She could not figure it out.
Speaker 2: Mikayla, that's right, Mikayla is a shitty swimmer. So she
had barely made it back to the puzzle by the
times Cedric had like gone up the whole tower and
come down and come back yep. And then they crushed
the puzzle and they ended up beating Anissa and Jeamie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anissa like suppose the puzzle Queen. I feel like
this puzzle King and Queen Moniker gets gets given people
far too often for far too little.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anissa, I don't think Anissa deserves it. Maybe she
did in the old school era, but she does not
stand out as an exceptional puzzle person these days.
Speaker 3: To me, agreed, c CT absolutely gets the puzzle king
he has. He has figured out more than enough puzzles
very quickly. Yeah, Anissa, I feel like, just doesn't really
deserve it. Ashley Smashley gets it like maybe half the time.
Speaker 2: M hm, smash is very hot and cold. If she
gets it, she's going to get it right away. Otherwise
she want to get too flustered and not be able
to do it at all. Yep, all right, well, and
that's kind of it. So at the end of the challenge,
TJ announces that nine gave. Of course, to nobody's surprise,
they are automatically in last place, so they're automatically going
in the top eight is everyone that did not disqualify?
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: First place is justin and Olivia. But TJ gives no
other point breakdowns here, and in fact, the only place
we see the point breakdowns is a very short shot
of the scoreboard at the end. I didn't write any
of those down, so I don't know how anybody did here,
do you, guys? No, No, it would have been nice
for them to tell us in a better way than
they did, so yeah, nobody knows, so many more dedicated.
I'll have to go back and like screenshot that.
Speaker 3: I don't know that it really matters.
Speaker 2: It doesn't at all. The points do come back, you know,
in a little bit with the dust or justin thing
because I feel like going to.
Speaker 3: Be whose line is it? Anyway points? Yeah, so the
points are arbitrary and they do not matter.
Speaker 2: Yep. I think we're about there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I did when when TJ announced that it
was going to be a way and Naya you're going
to be in. Gabe did have a fucking smirk on
his face. Yeah, kind of like I don't have to
go in.
Speaker 4: Fuck you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not out of the water man. That's Leroy.
I'll talking to him and talking to about that in
a little bit here, all right. I think we're back
at the house now. I don't have a note on this,
but I think we're back at the house and we
have Olivia and Kara talking.
Speaker 3: And Olivia sounds so dumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a dumb She's a dumb person. That's why
she's dumb. But we learned that Olivia and Kara are
sort of in an alliance and sort of with Naya also,
so Olivia is mostly Brits, but it looks like she's
also with Kara and Naya in terms of vet women.
We didn't know this until this moment, right, Yeah, well
if he doesn't.
Speaker 5: Care, well, I think we kind of assumed that Kara
would be with Olivia just because I feel like these
days cars with whoever's against bananas.
Speaker 4: But Nya, I think it was more of a shock.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of being anti bananas, this is where we
have Kara saying that she thinks America is the best
vote in for tonight h and her primary reason is
that that leaves bananas as the hang now, like and
it is sort of like, well, you know, Nia, now
you can probably beat her, and that's great, but also
bananas is the hang now that seems to be like
the the primary focus. Yeah, all right with that one
on the barnight. So, uh, this is the alpha talk.
Who's more alpha? Guy's THEO or Turbo?
Speaker 3: Oh Turbo for sure, fucking neither of them.
Speaker 2: Turbo's the alpha, I mean in the two of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Turbo absolutely Turbo fucking He stopped a crazy person
on an airplane by taping that person to a chair,
like he used to bear not the box on the
streets to make money and.
Speaker 2: Turkey two time Survivor, Turkey Champion yep.
Speaker 5: And now for extra money he pillow fights. Yeah, when
he's not doing a challenge, he's in a competitive pillow
fighting league.
Speaker 4: He's like every so often pilar fighting people.
Speaker 3: That was not at all it was. I thought that
this was something having to do with him and Kara
and Polly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were in the second they did the sex
thing together.
Speaker 5: Well that but no, there's an actual like league of
professional pillow fighting and that's what he does when he's
on the challenge. Now he goes on TV and pillow
fighting people.
Speaker 1: It's like like, this is kind of what that is
with pillow fighting.
Speaker 3: Okay. Also sorry, real quick, random tangent now that Kara
and Polly and jacked my memory. Kara and Polly Zach
I think you at one point in time brought up
that they were on vanderpmunt Villa. Yeah, so this this
is the it's a Hulu show that came out straight
to Hulu. Vander Pump Lisa vander Pump is a is
a former Real housewife of Beverly Hills. She's been doing
a spinoff show where she gets like this one was
a they had a villa in France or sorry in
Italy that they bring customers in for a weekend and
they you know, do all of these fun things. The
guests of honor for one of the weeks where Kara
and Polly and it's like it's super fucking weird because
they're like Polly is hitting on all of the one
of the dudes in particular, but like he is very
much in his by era. It's a like you can't
really tell, like are they actually still together? Are they
open and still together? Are they like just really good
friends and like planted off the camera, like what's going
on here? And then in the finale or in the
the reunion for vander pump Villa because they finished the
week and and Polly writes a letter, so the guy
writes a letter to Polly, so Polly writes a letter
back to him and basically they're, oh, you know it'd
be I would love to see you outside of this
house and da da da da da. And then Polly
shows up to the reunion as a like a surprise
guest for this the guy that was part of Vanderpunt
Villa and is making out with him in the middle
of the stage at the reunion.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I did see that, and I had no context or
the story behind it, except that Polly stopped out and
made out with some dude and then walked away.
Speaker 3: Well it was he walked in, like, dude, I left
you my number, why didn't you call?
Speaker 5: Didn't have if they were serious?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did. Well, it was the typical ship. It
seemed very inauthentic and very fake and very just sort
of like.
Speaker 3: I mean, they originally bonded over the fact that I
think they both had on cutoff mess shirts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paullie's the worst. I fucking hate Polly.
Speaker 3: He's forgot how much I disliked him. And this just
it it really, it put it over the top. And
I was not a huge fan of Kara in that episode,
and yeah, it just it was. It was very weird
to see them in a vander Pump style, Like with
vander Pump, it was. It was just very strange to
see my worlds of Bravo and the Challenge collide. It
was very strange. But sorry, super tangent, we can continue.
Speaker 2: Okay, We're back at the bar. Choh, we get Naya
Olivia and Justin talking. Justin is talking about throwing people
in from Olivia's alliance. I like this because it shows
how sort of blind to the game Justin is, or
maybe how good the British Alliance is at hiding their alliance.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're that good at hiding. And I
think that annoyed the shit out of me. Was Olivia
was saying. It was in her confessional at least, was
saying that she's in an alliance with these girls because
they're girls that stand up for themselves and are really cool.
And I'm like, you're in an alliance with these girls
because they're all British.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's like that's that's who Justin was saying,
Like I want to throw in like Izzy or Adrian
or it was all the people that was And it's
I don't think Justin's smart enough to throw that out
to bait her or anything. I don't think Justin understands
that Olivia is in with them.
Speaker 3: I feel like it was more of a brain fart
than anything else.
Speaker 5: See, I thought I thought he's very well ware the
British lines. It seems like the whole houses and that
he originally was gonna like push to get one of
those girls in, but then probably what we didn't see
is just like Olivia breaking him down until he's finally like,
you're right, Olivia, I'll just go with whatever you want.
Speaker 3: M Yeah, I guess I don't really know.
Speaker 2: I well, yeah, we probably won't know. But it seemed
like a weird, naive conversation and justin seemed like he
was being that he didn't have a good handle on
the game. In my opinion, I don't.
Speaker 3: And that's the problem is like, because this is a
TV show and we see like what's happening in in
their real time in the show, but then we're also
seeing the confessionals afterwards where they could be playing things
for the camp. I mean, it just yeah, I can't
tell if everybody in the house knows that there's a
British Alliance. It feels like everybody in the house knows
there's a British Alliance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a little strange that he threw them.
Speaker 5: Out, So it doesn't seem like Bananas is like, you know,
or his allies are keeping it like low key. They're
around walking around the house talking about the British Alliance
every chance they get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but then there's others I mean, and we'll
get into it a little bit later. But especially during
the nominations when MICHAELA stood up and said, like, man,
it's weird that Olivia is saving Izzie, isn't that weird?
Just sort of like trying to It seemed like she
was trying to show everybody like, look at this, it's
clearly happening. Yeah, but maybe that was me.
Speaker 3: Maybe Justin just didn't realize that just how into the
British Alliance Olivia is. I don't know, she's the head
of it, yeah, but I don't know that everybody realizes
that she's the ahead of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what I mean now, But yeah, that's
what I mean. I don't think Justin That's what I mean.
It seemed like Justin didn't know what he was saying
to the person he's saying it too.
Speaker 3: And Okay, then yes on that I agree.
Speaker 2: Okay, us with all the information like we obviously like,
but he seems like he's misguided us to the state
of the game at this moment. All right, This is
where Leroy says that Ben looks like Macaulay Culkin from
home alone. I gotta be honest, guys, I still don't
see it. I love change, and I love that Leroy said,
And it's funny to me he doesn't look like it kind.
Speaker 3: Of felt like, all you know, all black people look
the same to me, or all the people look the
same to me, all white people look the same. That's
kind of what I felt like.
Speaker 2: That's fine.
Speaker 1: I get that.
Speaker 2: I get that out, like, that's fine to me.
Speaker 3: And maybe he looks more like mcaulay Culkin in person.
Speaker 5: Maybe, I mean we all have culkin too. If all
of us white people look the same.
Speaker 1: When I was little, I did too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess like.
Speaker 1: Almost white blonde hair and all.
Speaker 2: Of us, right, all of us are not straight white
hair as kids.
Speaker 5: As a kid, I got the the kid from Christmas
story a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he came back in the new one. You
know he's now an adult. I know there was a
new one of sequel came out like two years ago.
All right, so Leroy here is telling Gabe, Hey, here's
the deal. Many. I know you're piss at Naya, but
you need to support her during this elimination. It's kind
of the only shot you got. You don't want to
be the hangnail. You want her to do well, So
apologize to her, support her during the thing, help her
if you can. This is smart, right. I like Leroy
being the mentor here and like, well, I mean it looks.
Speaker 3: Like bringing up something that's very valid, like it doesn't
matter who you are. If you are the hangnail, you
are in a seriously precarious position.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and I think it snapped gave out of it.
Gabe's all up in his feelings about I'm not I
wasn't picked first and I was dragging me down or whatever,
and I think Leroy centered him, like, dude, it doesn't
matter save yourself. You can save yourself by like being
nice to her, And that seems like it got through
to him.
Speaker 4: Yes. Uh.
Speaker 2: Olivia, Izzy and Justin are talking is this all fake
for Justin backscratching? And she oh yeah, yea yeah. So
it's this is another thing where I think Dustin's not
Justin's not following the game. It's Olivia, Izzy and Justin
at at the table talking. They're trying to convince Justin
to save Izzy, and they're talking about like, hey, if
we scratch her back, she'll scratch our back later. This
seems very like he doesn't see that there's this alliance.
Speaker 3: Well, and she also is. He also makes that she's
another one who makes a comment about how you know
there's a not necessarily I think it's in a confessional
she makes the comment of like, you know, there's a
divide between the rookie girls and the VET girls. But
the rookie girls that she's talking about are her, Adrian
and Tay, who are all UK Alliance girls. And she's wondering,
Like she makes a comment about how she's wondering why
they don't get along with the VET girls, like because
you guys are in a different alliance, like playing different games.
Why are you acting like an idiot here? Like why
why are you all trying to pretend like the UK
Alliance isn't a thing and the reason why all of
you are connected? It felt strange. There were a few
things like that in this episode. I don't don't get this.
Speaker 2: All of it leads to justin not seeing it or
knowing it and them not wanting to say it to him, right,
because I did think that's what it seems like to me.
Speaker 5: I did think Olivia is blowing smoke up his butt
when he is like, you know, listening to the UK
girls and she's like, no, if someone says your name
and comes after you, the best move is you keep
them in the game to like earn favor with him.
I'm like, no, that's not what you do. But he's
a rookie and too dumb to realize that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is weird because he's also like Justin has
kind of been a dark horse, Like he he's done
relatively well so far, even though he was first thrown
into an elimination, Like, he's done pretty well in all
the time lenges. He was the first pick on UH
to be paired up this last last.
Speaker 2: Episode's problem is that, yeah, he's struggling socially and politically,
but he doesn't know that he's struggling in those areas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's being the fun little gay boy, but doesn't
it doesn't seem to quite understand that you also need
to like actually strategically play this game. Yeah, like you
can be everybody's best friend, but like that works for Shane.
But Shane is also able to play strategically in this game.
Speaker 5: But I will say he might not need to play
strategic just because I think he is showing that he
has good the challenges, and I'm sure a lot of
the VET women will say, like, hey, at the end
of the day, that means in a final, either A
I'm not going have to compute directly against him, or
B I'll I have the chance to be partnered with
him in the final. So look, let me just drag
him to the end, because either way he's not threatened
me and he can help me.
Speaker 2: I think Justin's going to do well in this game
just to be too and I think really, I think
they make, you know, they make fun of him for
being one of the smaller guys, but we've seen Ian
Big is not good in this game always being well
rounded as best, and we've seen he's very well rounded.
I do think he's a threat, but he also seems
real dumb, and a lot of these conversations he seems
like he doesn't know what's happening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's trying to play it off in his confessionals
like he does know what's going on, and like he's
trying to play both sides, which is odd.
Speaker 2: That I caught onto that too, Colin. He's saying, like
I'm double agent, I'm doing both sides. But it's like, nah, dude,
you're being manipulated to vote against your interests. But I
think he's still going to do well despite that, just
to be clear. But yeah, anyway, this is where we
see Mikayla talking with all the rookie guys mostly and
she's they're talking about, like, what do you think is
going to happen in this game? It can't just keep
being like one on one. It's got to be doing
dual eliminations.
Speaker 3: I liked this conversation. I really liked this conversation.
Speaker 2: I did too. And then Mikayla tried to do a
little challenge one on one stuff of like this is
not a game of friends, this is a game of
the and like trying to sort of give some direction Zach.
This rubbed you the wrong way, But I like this.
I really thought this was honest talk and good talk.
For me, it was.
Speaker 3: It was also fun to see them like think about, Okay, well,
you know we did a you know, it was a
men's Day and then it was a Women's Day, and
you know, now we've like, are we gonna be doing
another round of this men's and Women's Day? Or like
what are we doing next? And Oh, well, it's gonna
be pairs, Like we're gonna there's gonna be a pairs elimination. Sam, Like, Okay,
they are actually thinking of these things. That's kind of
we haven't seen them do that in a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had, so I had a thought from this point,
and this is where I think the points are gonna
come in because I think whether it's in the final
or like near the end of the game, they are
gonna go into pairs, and I think it's gonna all
come down to sorry, who has the most points, and
like you get to pick your partner in the order
of who.
Speaker 4: Has the most points, like for the final or what either.
Speaker 5: The final or I think like when they get to
like three, you know, three eliminations out from the fire,
it'll be like, hey, from now on, all eliminations will
be partners. There's no more switching after every round. Whoever
you pay, that's your partner for the rest of the game.
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, mm hmm.
Speaker 4: It's like first choice. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I I have a feeling that we're having we're gonna
have a purge or something similarly, either a purge or
a double elimination or something like that coming up pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Pretty sad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean Leo makes Leo made a good
point of like there are too many fucking heads in
this house. There are too many people here, and I
agree with him, like there are still a ton of
players in this game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we'll see a purge, but I think
it's gonna be more like halfway through. I guess we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess we are only three episodes in,
so yeah, I mean, I guess. I'm I'm thinking I
am kind of on the.
Speaker 4: We have.
Speaker 3: You know, it was Women's Day this week, we'll have
Men's Day next week. I could see the week after
being a double elimination, not necessarily a purge, but a
double elimination.
Speaker 2: I could see that. Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 3: And then yeah, maybe a purge later on in the game,
like another you know, four or five episodes in, and
then maybe having Zach's idea come into Oh that'd be interesting.
That'd be really interesting to see that come into play afterwards,
like see them go through a purge and then who's
left because in a purge, like you know that they
can always the really good players have the potential of
going home, so we lose some of those big players.
Speaker 2: That'd be I love a purge. I love a purge
me too. All Right, it's the next morning. We're back
at the house. Olivia is talking about her plan with
Derek and Derek Schavaz and CT about the plan to
throw in America welfe but really it's mostly to kind
of get bananas to be the hangnail. Olivia doesn't seem
to be shy talking about this point with CT and
Derek in the kitchen here, although later she sort of
obscures this fact. But uh, she's she seems kind of
outward about it here and Sydney is kind of walking
around in the background, kind of overhearing this, and we
see that she fucking hates this UK alliance passionately. She
is definitely pro bananas as she talks about her alliance
and the people that she likes. It's a lot of
the Evets, but she's, you know, she's a rock, so
she's a little on the outside of that. But anti UK,
that's the only thing that matters. Anti UK for Sydney.
Speaker 5: And I think this is where I went from me like, yeah,
I kind of like Sydney too. Oh, I often love Sydney.
Speaker 2: What changed what made you change your mind?
Speaker 5: Because of everyone in the house? She said, I want bananas.
Speaker 1: Gag she's got She's got big maga energy, So I
fucking hate her.
Speaker 2: She does not have maga energy. She I don't think
she does.
Speaker 1: She's ever going to step foot on in the UK
ever again? Fucked up place.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's because of this.
Speaker 1: She literally said that to him.
Speaker 2: She's a Zionist allegedly. What the does that mean?
Speaker 1: A giant American flag up behind her.
Speaker 2: I'm not smart enough to know what that means.
Speaker 5: What's a Zionists something to do with the whole conflict?
I don't know, Like over in the Poltne and I
don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know which.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a sect of it's a sect of
the Jewish faith, and.
Speaker 1: Which hulk like hulk smash or let me tell you something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a it's I don't want to say,
a sect of the Jewish faith. It's it's a kind
of like ld S has their different section, Like you
have the really fundamental mentalist l d S and the Mormons,
and then you have, you know, the typical Mormons. Zionists
are really fundamentalist Jewish. They're very very pro is real,
veryvery pro like pro that excuse me, yeah, just very prosule.
There's a bunch of other like net and Yahoo is
a Zionis okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And an hour into the show when you've got
denominations yet, No, we're not.
Speaker 2: That's for I'm about to seize. Thank you, guys. I
pulled that nose hairs earlier this morning. I've been seizing
all day. Happened to you, guys. Guess do you, guys
pull out no nose hairs or do you trim them?
I yank them, trim Carling, you have nose hairs. You
don't have nose hairs that extrude if you do, if
you let them go.
Speaker 3: No, I think that's a dude thing, is it.
Speaker 2: Women don't get nose haires that like pop out the bottom.
Speaker 3: No, I think it's a dude thing. I think it's
the fact facial hair like your that your facial hair
con continuously comes in like we have facial hair too,
it just doesn't show up like yours does.
Speaker 2: It's in the nose.
Speaker 3: I understand that. But I'm saying because of the hormones
that you have going through your body that cause your
facial hair to grow. Does I have a feeling that
nose hairs fall into that same category.
Speaker 2: It's probably true. Ear hair is too, Probably right, Women
don't get ear hair, men get a ear hair.
Speaker 3: My nose is growing nuts because ragweed is blooming at
the moment, and which is just real fun.
Speaker 2: We're such a gross for such a gross gender.
Speaker 3: Men are gross.
Speaker 2: So as we're going around the house here, it seems
like everybody, including the people that don't want it to
be the case, are resigned to America going in. It
seems sort of like people don't like it, they're not
happy about it, but everyone.
Speaker 3: Sort of understand that this means the Johnny could potentially
be the hangnail and the senor that you can get
bananas out the better.
Speaker 2: Yep. So this is where I also see Gabe going
to Naya and apologizing. This conversation went well, right, what
do you guys think it did?
Speaker 3: I mean, it felt like bullshit, but it did.
Speaker 2: It was very performative, but sometimes that's what you need.
It seemed like Niya that did what it needed to
do for her, and there you go, justin seems to
be annoying everybody in the house, and from the few
shots we see of him being a fucking cocky motherfucker
about the points and about his performance so far, he
would be annoying me too. Uh, this guy was right.
Speaker 3: It was funny when we first started it, but then
it was like, okay, this is this is all right,
that's that's that's not okay, that's that's okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2: Much it went from yeah, I went from funny to
cringe in about half a second, and then it's just like,
shut up, dude, Yeah you're done. It's done.
Speaker 5: A lot of people are gonna be like going back
and messaging Derek Shavas been like sorry for the hate
week one.
Speaker 4: You made the right choice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, social media is insane. It's
amazing how much hate people get for like little decisions
on a fucking game show that none of us have
to do with, don't like anything to do with its. Yeah,
it's insane.
Speaker 2: We get this. This is where Justin and near Me
are playing pool and America interrupts him and has this
really weird thing where she's like, are you guys being
weird to me because you're gonna vote me in? And
like a really weird conversation.
Speaker 3: She's an odd one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a little weird. And Justin a little weird too,
because what he says to her is like, don't worry
about going into elimination. It's not really all that scary,
except that it could be your last time. And it's like, yeah, dude,
that's like why it's scary, Like we're not gonna die,
Like we're gonna be eliminated from the gate, Like that's
the whole point of why it's scary. Yeah, Justin's Justin's
the guy with no self awareness. In my opinion, it was.
Speaker 3: It was an odd conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well, if you und nominations.
Speaker 3: In my name, thatch nominations.
Speaker 2: Olivia and Justin they save Izzy right away, and TJ
sort of opens it up to the group and says, hey,
does anybody have anything to say about this? Now is
your chance to say it? Which is weird?
Speaker 3: This whole thing's weirde.
Speaker 2: And MICHAELA stands up and says, hey, that's weird, right, guys. Look,
Olivia saved Izzy, and Izzy is not really on the
chopping block. Saving her does nothing except reinforces this British
alliance thing. So let's look at this guy. So what
is this saying to us? And this is what I mean, Like,
I don't think the British Alliance is as obvious as
it seems to us. I think that there's some question
about it in the house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I did also appreciate
that she's, like this solidified just how against all of
the vet women Olivia is because there's not a single
Vet woman on the British Alliance, Like every single one
of them is a rookie except for except for Olivia,
so they get I appreciated her kind of pointing that
out in her confessional. It was this was a weird
I was. I was kind of surprised that she stood
up and made this speech.
Speaker 4: I wasn't.
Speaker 2: This is this is who Michaela. This is who Michaela is.
She's not gonna she's gonna say what's on her mind.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now that Rogan's got the same with the men too,
because we only have THEO so basically, if they have
their way, they're taking all newbies to the final with them.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, I didn't even think about that, hm, I mean, Oladi,
the newbies, the threats are looking real fucking strong this season.
Speaker 2: So the dudes especially, Yeah, the dudes are crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both sides, like both sides are looking both men
and women are looking real fucking strong this season. They've
got some real killers on both sides. Like, if the
Vets don't step their ship up, they are going to
go home. They're gonna start going home soon, because I
think after it, if if this week had actually panned
out the way that we all thought it was going
to be, I mean, they don't have that many threat
women and threat men to kind of trim the fat
of so I think Vets would start going on pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, can you guys help me parse out what
the fucking happened with Anissa here? She said something about like, oh,
I talked to uh Naya and she wants, uh hey.
Is that what Lissa said?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it sounded like Nia went back into the
room that Anissa was in and said something along the
lines of they want America to go in against me?
How boring? Like that's such a boring choice and rather
than it just it seemed like she was saying more
of like I don't necessarily want to go against America
because that would be so easy not necessarily I want
to go against Tay. But Anissa took it as, oh, well,
she doesn't want to go against America, so obviously she
wants to go against Aday.
Speaker 2: She pretended to take it that way, right, because then
she said in her confessional like, yeah, I didn't say
the total truth, but I didn't lie either. Yeah, yeah, Okay,
Well I don't like this. I don't like Anissa. And
why is a Nissa playing this game? She's done this enough.
Why can't she just say the honest truth of just I'm.
Speaker 3: To tell about? Why is she trying to get in
bed with fucking Johnny Bananas? Like yeah, that was the
part that I found really strange because.
Speaker 2: I think that there, I think that that the British
thing is sort of a subtext for for rookies too.
I think rookies are tending to join, and it's it's
morphing into rookies versus vets, I think, and the Vets
are trying to stop it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's kind of showing up as a
as a UK versus Johnny. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And I think you know they're and this is well there,
you know they have all these vets. There's still I think,
you know, the hierarchy of like the Anas, the cts,
ban answer like the og vets versus like Olivia, who's
been here for a cup of coffee?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well the nominations is also where Banana's uses
his vote to kind of stand on a on a
soapbox and do his I Am the Challenge ship and
say how America is really just to vote for him.
It's not really about America, Zach, can you defend this?
Speaker 5: I mean, he's right, and we were talking earlier on
this episode. I mean we were saying earlier They're like,
oh yeah, like you know, these people are like, yeah,
we don't really like taking on America, but if we
could get to Bananas, that's a good move.
Speaker 4: So Bananas was right.
Speaker 5: They told us lead up to this it was all
about him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree with you, Zach. This is this is
one of the few times the Bananas is fully right.
Speaker 3: It is about him.
Speaker 2: It is about him, though, Carling, he is not fully right.
Speaker 3: I completely agree. A vote for America is not a
vote for her, It's a vote to get him in
as the hangnail. I completely agree with that. He also
says that he is the challenge.
Speaker 4: I agree with that.
Speaker 3: That is bullshit.
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that, but I will say this,
Carlin to the to Banana's credit. When you look at
like this Challenge where CT sat out, where Derek performed
like shit, Bananas is the one of these ogs coming in.
He's doing it. He's showing up, he's in shape, he's
ready to perform. He does his best. Some of these people,
like Anissa, they show up of shit, CT, they show
fat and not ready to do it. Bananas shows up ready.
Speaker 3: Not denying that, not denying that, but it's how much
more we enjoyed the show when he was gone for
like those three or four seasons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3: It also it just it it made me giggle because
hearkening back to to Bravo real quick, there's a there's
a fucking physically and emotionally abusive asshole named Jax Taylor
who in the two different shows that he has been on,
he has claimed this is my show and by the
end of that season has been kicked off of the
show entirely. So it just it it felt like that
to me, where it's like Johnny's saying that he is
the Challenge. Huh. I wonder if this is gonna be
Karmen and it's just gonna come back and kick him
in the ass, and he's gonna be gone in like
two episodes, because that would be fucking perfect.
Speaker 2: We'll see. I think he's to make it deep. He
makes it deep most seasons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he quits in the final.
Speaker 4: But here's my I know you're all good.
Speaker 3: To still quit in a final.
Speaker 5: I know you're all going to disagree with this, but
I've compared Johnny and the Challenge to the Rock in
w W E because when they both started there, like
the Rock needed w W Johnny needed the Challenge, But
both of them have reached a level where now when
they go back there, the show itself is benefiting more
from their appearance than there by from the show the
Challenge needs Johnny. Johnny does not need the Challenge. He
has surpassed it. He's bigger than the show.
Speaker 3: He does.
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 3: He went on a show I think it's called Pop
My Balloon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was listening to.
Speaker 3: A podcast that was talking about this. He went on
a show about that where he showed up and every
single person. So it's a dating show and you show
up on it, and basically there's a panel of women
who were all given balloons and the guy will walk
out and if they pop their balloon, they're like absolutely
now and it's you know, you kind of go through
this whole thing to try and figure out how you
know who you can go with, and from the sounds
of things, when Johnny walked out, at least half of
them immediately pop their balloon, like Johnny absolutely needs the
Challenge because he is not relevant in any other way.
He showed up and started spewing about how he's part
of the challenge and don't you know who I am?
All that sort of thing. Every single one of them was.
Speaker 2: Like who the only the only thing I'll say is
Zach you know, and it is probably just agree to disagree,
But if you're too big for the challenge, you tend
to stop being on the Challenge like them. Is like
Jamie Chung, even though I don't agree with that. Yeah, no,
I don't think Banana' is too big for the Challenge.
I think he does need the Challenge. That's why he's
on all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why he continues to come back.
Speaker 5: If this truly is the last season of the Challenge,
I don't know how much we ever see ct again,
how much we ever see us again, Carl Maria, I
think Bananas will still be on reality TV.
Speaker 4: He's not going away. He will supersede the show.
Speaker 3: Wes and Wes and him and Kara and honestly, all
of the people that you just said are going to
show up on shows like Traders and Villains and all
of them. They're going to show up on all of
those things. They are still going to continue to work
in this universe, because that's what all reality TV stars
do nowadays.
Speaker 5: I mean, Kara is not on that many other shows,
and she did that how far is tattooed far back
in the day. I guess she's on that vander part,
but I feel like like, I feel like yeah.
Speaker 3: But she and she and Polly kind of pulled out
for a while. But now she's living in like Florida,
and I would I really would not be surprised if
we start seeing her on things.
Speaker 5: Ah, I'd say, in the last year, Bananas has done
more shows than every other Challenge alumni.
Speaker 4: Combine like, you know, different shows.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a crazy thing that can't be true. But
I'm done talk about Jhnnavanas Okay, Combine combined, Zach takeaway,
take away combined, I mean.
Speaker 3: He hasn't been any movies like CT.
Speaker 2: Yeah, combine makes it a crazy statement, but still yeah,
but still all right, Zach, you win. We have two
other people using their vote during this nomination process in
a weird way, and those two people are Leo and Adrian,
and they both say the same basic thing, which is like, hey,
we rooks to stick together and not just vote with
the majority, and we should stick together, but we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Vote with the majority. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I definitely funny.
Speaker 2: And it's weird because like the majority benefits them in
this case, and I totally get why they voted that way,
but then like, don't give the speech. It's a weird thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's American bananas they're going in. I
thought it was kind of sort of interesting. After the
vote comes down, we c D talking about her vote
and how she did not vote for bananas, and she's
just saying like, yeah, I like bananas. We're hooking up,
but you know, we're not playing this game together. I'm
playing my own game.
Speaker 3: And vote bananas.
Speaker 2: Well, they voted yeah for bananas to go in, not
for banana safety. I met like for like alongside him. Yeah,
makes sense, and I guess I wasn't paying much attention,
but yeah, de voted against Bananas. Here is gonna hold
this against her. He seems the type that would think
he always does.
Speaker 1: She's pretty hot, so maybe I'm pretty sure we're going
to hear next time they're laying on the the Shay's
lounges together.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I mean I would give it up, but you
voted me in. Yeah, always all season.
Speaker 5: I don't think if he's wanting to give it up,
Johnny's gonna turn it down. Even if she did vote
for him, Johnny's gonna take that opportunity.
Speaker 3: I agree with that. I do agree with that.
Speaker 1: He's got a small dick and he needs whatever you
can get.
Speaker 2: I have one more note here, and I don't remember it,
but it says Olivia comes in and they fight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he and Olivia get into it and he's talking.
He's telling her her that she's just mad at him
because of shit that happened in the past and that
she should get over it, which is again one of
the this man is so fucking hypocritical. Every time he
fights with these people, he's fighting them about ship that
he does more than anyone else.
Speaker 2: That srives me nuts about it because Zach he is
right here, like they came after him, the America vote
is for him. But then he goes too far with it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Literally, he's literally fighting with her, saying that she's fighting
with him because of the ship that he did last season.
He always brings up ship from previous seasons. Always, that
is the catalyst for every single bullshit move that he does.
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, well that's bananas. Yeah, I'm living rent
free in your head. Oh that's try to remember that.
Speaker 1: He's like, you're the one who keeps bringing it up.
Speaker 3: I loved America, saying at one point in time, I
think Johnny lives rent free in Johnny's head. Yeah, we
know that it's.
Speaker 2: Not it's not a good thing. We're onto the eliminations,
anti climactic. Nia has got a knee Injurt, she can't play.
She loses the end. That's the episode.
Speaker 3: But then we see them do the the pick for
next episode in the end of this episode.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't take notes on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they gave I don't I don't know what
the right I'll take notes for it for the next one.
Speaker 2: Stops watching.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do the they did. I was surprised they
did the entire pick at the end of this episode.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I stopped watching. I thought it'd be more fluffy,
like goodbye stuff, so I stopped taking notes.
Speaker 5: If it's just a case because they didn't have elimination,
They're like, well, we got some extra time to kill,
let's throw it on at.
Speaker 4: The end here.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe makes more sense having at the end. They
should do that.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 3: I mean it works for us with the fantasy teams.
It's gonna be easier to pick. I think it's gonna
be easier to pick this week.
Speaker 5: I could also see the benefit of doing it at
the beginning, because you know they did the end of
this one. What are the odds that when next episode
rolls around, we're gonna walk into it and have every
team memorized. So I think it can make sense at
the beginning to like refresh your memory, be like, oh
that they're picking them here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Scott says Johnny is that guy who was something
in high school but can't let reality sink in one
thousand percent agree. Come on, Jamie says, no, Johnny is
no one without the challenge but the challenge will be
fine without him. This Hilary Challenge is starting to mock
Johnny a bit? Why does he keep coming back? CE
team made it on the Traders and won the Traders.
Wes has done Traders and House of Villains. Oh yeah,
there was the weird no feet touching site. Oh this
was this was the last season with the Aviv and
Johnny and all of them touching feet. That was so
fucking weird. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was super weird. Nice feet, all right,
Fantasy Fantasy League stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, everybody have a challenge pod doc Co. I'm
doing the Facebook. We're doing a patron which we'll get
to it a second. Yeah, stuff Carlin, all right.
Speaker 3: So let's get this.
Speaker 4: I thought I have.
Speaker 2: Carlin, how dare you?
Speaker 1: This is some bullshit too? By the way, all right

of my members got disqualified during the challenge. So I

did you not pick this past week because you went
down ten spots?
Speaker 4: No? I did.
Speaker 5: This is where this is where I got hit by
all the DQ's. I only got eleven points this week
because that's so many decuyurs on.
Speaker 3: Shit, and mister Wolford is down one spot at twenty eighth. Yeah,
hold on, I had to pull this open.
Speaker 1: And see, I did pick a team last week and
I was in twenty seventh place. I picked a team
this week and now I'm in twenty eighth place because
of the negative points from.

didn't get comments on our Spotify. Our buddy MP zero
five ten from last time, who talked a bunch of
shit about all of us, said, uh, Zach, the only
tolerable person on this podcast orderline on listen ball.
Speaker 2: Just an account.
Speaker 4: No, but I saved that this morning.
Speaker 5: I sent it to everyone I knew and being like,
look at this, even when it's bad, I'm.
Speaker 4: Great, Zach.
Speaker 3: Are you sure this isn't a burner account for you?
Speaker 5: No, otherwise I would be talking about how great the
whole show is. But I'm the best, and I'm the
Johnny Bananas carrying the rest of you guys.
Speaker 3: Cool. So the moment that comments like that starts showing up.
We know that it's your burner account.
Speaker 4: Everyone's comments like that, just the same starts showing up.
Speaker 1: Uh. And then on another episode, last week's episode of
season forty one coverage, Uh, Stephan g it's like Steph
and Angie like put together. Okay, just said the barbecue
with like the school and crossbow and sign and then
the laughing emoji because you guys, you called it. You
called it the barbecue. Is it actually it's the cookout.
Speaker 3: It's pretty funny though similar.
Speaker 4: The No.
Speaker 3: This was when we were I think it was was
this last week or was this on the.
Speaker 1: This was last week? This was for this last week's episode.
We were we were talking about alliances, and I think,
you know, the cookout came up. But Carlin and Tim
I think both said the barbecue. I think I think
Carlin said it and I think Tim just co signed it.
And I was like sitting here confused and like what
the are they talking about? And I was like no,
and then someone in the chat room said the cookout
and I was like, no, it's the cookout.
Speaker 3: Because we were talking about the alliance. The some of
the Newbie girls and Jeremy were had made and it
was Tarzan and Jane or Jane's and tar and dumb names.
And then I think I think you mentioned that the
in Big Brother they try to name all their alliances.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's what it was. The Big Brother. They
always come up with names for alliances because you guys
were like, why do people even do this? And I'm like, yeah,
it's a big thing. I'm Big Brother. Yeah, and you're like,
oh yeah.
Speaker 2: The barbecue, Well it's filtered out. We see it in
the Challenge Now sometimes, and we see it in Survivor
Now too. Sometimes. These alliance names, I'm not into it.
I don't like the only one that.
Speaker 3: The only one that I even remotely like, is the
Lavender Ladies. And that's probably just because it was it
got so ingrained, and it wasn't like Brough was like,
we're the Lavender Ladies, so we need to name our
aren't they. It just kind of organically up.
Speaker 2: That's it. It felt organic. It didn't like these feel
desperate now like we have to name our alliance, which
we name it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's what about the Ladies of Leisure?
Speaker 3: Who was in that one?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't like that one though, who's
an Amanda in that one too? Probably?
Speaker 3: I immediately thought, wait, Amanda your ex wife Amanda? What? No,
because the conversations we had prior to this episode.
Speaker 1: Then there's the Vacation Crew.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Vacation Alliance.
Speaker 3: Oh, Michelle, Nia or Naya and Olivia were in the
Ladies of Leisure.
Speaker 1: That's right, Zach. Do you have any social media stuff.
Speaker 2: Banana's angels that way?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach, we can't hear you.
Speaker 1: You a sign, but it still sounds.
Speaker 3: Like there's background, yes, strange.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're gonna skip that before we wrap
up this episode. I do have something I want people
to go do, though, and this includes Tim and maybe Carl. Oh.
So I invested in a horror movie company called The
Horror Section. Oh Eli Roth is part of it, but
the guy I sort of know became the CEO of
it because he's an old school podcaster from Bloody Good Horror,
John Schnar's. He became the CEO of the Horror Section.
So that's why I was super excited about it. So
I invested in it. But the very first movie that
this company is putting out came out today and it's
like nationwide, and so like everybody should. If you're into
horror movies, you should go watch Jimmy and Stiggs. It's
an alien abduction movie. And even if you're not into horror,
everybody should do me a big favor because the investment
payback that I'll get out of it, well, it'll totally
make me a billionaire. Great. But even if you're not
into horror movies, you should just see if it's playing
somewhere and just buy a ticket, even if you're not
going to go. It's yeah, it is playing in the
playing at the Graham Prairie right now.
Speaker 2: Is stream are going to be?
Speaker 1: It will be. It probably will be eventually. But Jimmy
and Sticks, Jimmy and Sticks two g's and it's they
teamed up with AMC, so it's playing through a lot
of AMC theaters and it just came out today. It's
playing its opening weekend. So everybody should either go watch it,
or if you're not into horror movies, just buy a
ticket and do me a favor. Now we all get
like fifty cents for residual check for my investments into
the studio at some point, and do it horror exactly.
And it's an independent horror movie this guy made in
his apartment during the pandemics.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love That's why I love horror.
Speaker 3: The perfect storm of lousy news sees out of work
filmmaker Jimmy LaGG spiral into a bender, during which he
claims to have been adducted by aliens, and fearing their return,
he contacts his old friends STIGs to help him gear
up for war. So is this actually a horror movie?
Or is this a horror movie like Tucker and Dale
Versus Evil?
Speaker 1: Probably more along those lines.
Speaker 2: But ye, is there nudity in it? That?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: There should be needed. I hope there is.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's three of the main characters, so
I'm gonna say maybe we don't need nudity. Well, although
I heard him on a podcast during an interview he
said that he said that there is hardcore penetration in this,
So I'm thinking he gets he gets amally probed, probably
by right.
Speaker 2: I'm in I'm in it.
Speaker 1: They're trying to take like the Terrifier approach and put
low budget horror movies out in the theaters genrated, So
I like that we should have that. I have social
media tea.
Speaker 3: Well really quickly. We've got a ten stars review on IMDb.
This movie was a really fun time. Never stops going,
never stops once it gets going. Gave me the feeling
of crazy eighties movie like Evil Dead.
Speaker 1: Yes, my favorite movie, Tim is sold. You let a
Grand Prairie and watch it this weekend. Tim. I'm assuming
it's probably might be at the Washington too. I don't know.
Speaker 3: One of the most original and intense films I've ever seen.
Absolutely loved every second of it. It's got some pretty
decent reviews. I granted they were only three.
Speaker 1: The trailer is a lot of fun. It's had like
some convention and festival screening.
Speaker 2: So far's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ca says Nya announced her retirement today.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think I've been still reading and all. Just
just heard announcing retirement.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I think Nya announced her retirement from The Child today.
Speaker 3: Okay, Hi, I heard Kay announced her. I think you
said k announced her retirement today and that's why I congratulations.
Speaker 1: Uh and then justin shaded a Nissa on Challenge Podcasts,
saying she's old. Yes, said the retirement home has been
calling her talking about Anissa, I mean not wrong.
Speaker 2: Sure, good time, call your congressman. Guys, release the Epstein files.
Speaker 4: Files.
Speaker 2: Then in there at President's Pedophile we can fix that
if we call your congressman.
Speaker 1: So yes, go see Jimmy and STIGs. Release the Epstein
files and call your congressman. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It is a totally unchained, chaotic circus of alien gore
and it's mind blowing.
Speaker 2: Yes, nothing about how much the innity it has.
Speaker 1: Then again, it's two dudes in an alien and an apartment,
so those are details we need.
Speaker 3: When the kills are awesome. Yeah, yes, nothing about all.
Speaker 1: Right, we're not talking about that. Put your right by
the way, all right.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: For this episode of Challenge, this has been Brian.
Speaker 3: Big August with you, Carlin san Diego.
Speaker 1: And as Turbo said, be humble, bitch
Speaker 2: Beach, I think you said, mm hmm Okay,
