Speaker 1: Unfortunately very sick, very plane ride from this weekend.
Speaker 3: CARLN San Diego and Carlin.

hat and start yelling at you to put your fucking
phone down. I just did I do that to my
twelve year old daughter. Was five times a day.
Speaker 3: I was really good about us being live on our
Instagram channel. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for doing that, Carln. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Fuck you, Tim and sitting at work now the bad
boy the Mormon Church showing up with ink to all
of his events.
Speaker 4: That's zachy bananas.
Speaker 1: Everybody had every challenge by dot com joined the first group.
You can also jar a Patreon. Carlo's dog agrees. Do
you want to talk about this weekend?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Nah.
Speaker 1: A bunch of us went up to Challenge Mania and
we got to meet a bunch of challengers, most importantly one.
Speaker 2: And only c T the Mumbla.
Speaker 1: CT's girlfriend, much to Carl and chagrin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get into this way. Can we
get into this again? Because I know conversations that bounced
about this girlfriend and she was there at the event.
Who what? Who is this woman? Why do I care?
Why should I care about her?
Speaker 3: She was married to a wrestler, she is is or
was a porn star.
Speaker 1: I have not been able to confirm that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well knows how to google celebrity.
Speaker 1: I took it. I took it upon myself. I made
the sacrifice to google see if there was naked pictures
of her and or videos on any sort of hubbed
porn website. And nothing came up. There are some topless
pictures of her, but nothing that's.
Speaker 3: Like so maybe an only fans.
Speaker 1: She does have an only fans from.
Speaker 3: So maybe on there.
Speaker 2: Jacquelin drops upon their doing the hard work.
Speaker 4: Look at her TikTok. Pretty much every video she makes
is about getting later having sex.
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Yeah? So alleged porn star and now dating.
Speaker 2: And hard hang on white wife of a wrestler and
now dating ct and wrestler and hypothetically porn Yes, okay,
I'm not interested in this woman.
Speaker 3: What I mean, she's pretty?
Speaker 4: Have you did you see her this weekend?
Speaker 2: Yeah? She's right. Is that the one that Ryan was
yelling at. She was like wearing the T shirt or else.
Speaker 3: She's a brunette.
Speaker 1: She sat in the back.
Speaker 2: In the back, there was like there was two brunettes
back there. It seemed like they were both sort of
with CT. One was sort of helping with CJ More.
I don't know. I couldn't. I couldn't figure out what
was going on.
Speaker 4: Besides CT and his new girlfriend. We also got to
meet CT's son. Yeah, it's pretty COOLJJ was there, assuming
means Chris Jr.
Speaker 3: Probably I think that.
Speaker 4: He was a kid.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like seven now or something like that,
seven or eight.
Speaker 3: Remember when he came around to the just came into
being butter ball.
Speaker 1: CT was sitting in like this table and like the
bench and stuff. This kid kept running over and dropping
l animal. He's trying to talk to fans and yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was like two hours into us standing
in line because uh, the you know, not Small Potatoes
Podcasts seems to have an issue with figuring out how
to get their v P people to stand in line
to get signatures and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: The waiting that we had to do was excessive.
Speaker 1: Now, the host of the show told people they complained
about it, they'd be banned for life. So we are
risking a lifetime ban.
Speaker 3: I am, I am complaining. Scott, welcome to ban me,
because I do not plan on showing up to another
Challenge Mania event.
Speaker 2: I will happily go go to more.
Speaker 4: I will make it.
Speaker 2: Carlon and Wolfe, I want to throw this, throw throw
this past you, and maybe this will be a way
for Scott to deal with this. What if there was
like one line right, and it's kind of like photos,
only you go through it one time, you get your
picture taken. It takes fifteen seconds. Maybe somebody there with
the time er like, fucking go, keep going, keep going.
If you want to have your five minute chat or whatever,
you take your picture and then you just fucking get
right back in line. Yeah that's fine, and that's and
then once the pictures are done, then you can have
your chat. Because all I want is the photo. But
I do want the photo.
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So one they went They went wrong in a few
different ways. One, it took them way longer to get
all of the GA people out than it should have.
And two, all of the VIAP people that were sitting
a little bit farther back stood up almost immediately and
tried to move up front.
Speaker 2: Those people were assholes. It was yes, it was their
fault that they were doing that.
Speaker 3: That there was always probably doing it, but Scott didn't
handle it correctly. What he should have done, that's true
to have all of the GA people leave and get
everyone to sit down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's like if you stand up in there.
Speaker 3: Exactly and then do it like you do a wedding
where you go through and it's Table one gets up
and goes and gets their food, comes back, sits down
and eats. Then table like table one gets up and
as they are kind of done, you know, filtering through
the line, then table two gets up and filters through
the line. But it's the He should have gone through
and had everybody sit down, have CT sit in his
little spot, go through the VVIP first, and if you
wanted to get a photo or have a conversation afterwards,
then you could go and sit at the back of
the room and after everybody else has gone through their stuff,
then you could filter back through. He also should have
had someone sitting so one. They should have done that
filter it through like you do a wedding, rather than
having everybody stand up and then do this weird like
trying to get in a in a line that was
criss crossing around the room but no one could figure
it out because they are chairs and tables in the
way all over the place. But they also should have
done rather than having the other challengers like randomly stand
against the wall, it should have been either the four
other challengers and then CET so you can go through
and get your photos with all five people, or CT
and then the other four and then go and get
back in the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But then on top of that, they needed to have
someone there like basically with a stopwatch, which is I know,
not not fun for anybody and not you know, I'm
sure not pretty to look at, but like telling people
you have you have like your thirty second time limit
of here, please sign this. I'm a huge fan. Take
a picture, Carlin.
Speaker 2: Look, Steven is from Minneapolis. There you have a fan,
a local fan, Steven. Did you know how Carlin, she
could be your next door neighbor.
Speaker 3: I could be.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think then we need to accommodate the people
that don't want to have a ten minute talk because
I don't I want my picture. I need I need
thirty seconds and.
Speaker 3: I and it's honestly anything events to have a ten
minute talk. It's not fair to anyone else who's there.
Like if you want to have that ten minute talk, cool,
you need to understand that not ever fire for that,
and you need to you need to wait in line
for everybody to filter through for the photo that everybody
is there for let us quick people conversation, like having
having a five to ten minute conversation, and especially as
the day gets like we stood in line. I think
we were there for sall three and a half hours
just to get photos.
Speaker 2: All right, Well early that we're giving Scott free advice.
Now we're were living in the misery of waiting right now.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's.
Speaker 2: I get that, all right, all right, all right, go
get that.
Speaker 3: This one long CT was the big draw and that's
not normally what's happening. It's normally there's a whole bunch
of people and they are all the draw. But if
they did it in this style of like filtering through
each person, they could do that same thing for every
single show they do, and then everybody who's there all
the VAP whoever could all get photos with these people
and then if they want to talk to someone specific,
they can get back in that line. After them doing
fifty plus shows, this should be a lot smoother, and
it's kind of incredibly surprising that it's not.
Speaker 4: I think I did think ct like you said, being
a big draw played a big factor in it, because
just a month ago Tim and I went to the
one in Cleveland. I think that one was much you know,
more smoothly ran when it came to the meet and green.
Speaker 3: But this can't be the first time that they've had
one person be a big draw. Like I'm sure Bananas
has shown up to things or or Jordan or Kara,
and they're the big draws at those ones, So you
would I just I expected Scott to have this sort
of thing figured out a bit more than he did.
Speaker 1: What do you think what do you think would be
a big draw?
Speaker 3: Jordan or Johnny or car Maria?
Speaker 4: What was that again?
Speaker 3: Who who was that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right?
Speaker 3: Thanks Dereic, Yes was that Derek?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: That was good old Derek.
Speaker 2: Can I can I tell my funny Derek story At
the event. I had to squeeze by Derek to use
the bathroom. So I was like six inches away on
my way back. He stopped me and he said, hey, uh,
my buddy Dan is in the back. And I looked
at him. I'm like what, He's like, my buddy Dan,
he's with me, the guy in the back, the tall
guy in the back. And I was like, your buddy
Dan in the back, and he's like yeah, yeah. I
was like okay, and I just turned around and like
sat down and had no fucking clue what he was
talking about. Later on, it turns out he thought I
worked there and he was vouching for a friend that
was with him or something. Very strange interaction highlight of
the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, later on, I was wearing a bowling shirt that
made it look like he worked in the in the
building that.
Speaker 1: Nobody else was wearing anything even resembling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and nobody else mistook me for a worker. By
the way, only came Derek. And then Ryan reminds us,
how about the time when we saw Derek at almost
two am standing in line to get into a club
when we walk back to the top. Yeah, yelled at
him from across the way.
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's right, you said that that you saw
Derek away home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we all went and got tattoos that night.
Speaker 4: We did.
Speaker 3: After all of my bitching and moaning in the after
show last week.
Speaker 1: Hm, we all went and did it anyway, did Zach,
who not only got a tattoo, was the first one
of us to get a tattoo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're if you're on the pod right now,
if you are in the chat room, you can see
the you can get a quick preview of what they
look like. For everybody else, the photos will be out tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Or in theory, we're on YouTube now, right.
Speaker 3: We are on YouTube now, so if you watch this,
watch the video of the pod, you'll see it there.
Otherwaise the photos will be out tomorrow on our Instagram
and I will repost it to our Facebook as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did catch you coming on to me
Emily in the chat room. I'm not ignoring that, Emily.
Speaker 3: Where were you this weekend?
Speaker 2: Emily? What's up?
Speaker 3: Jim had his own hotel room without kids and everything.
Speaker 2: I had a spot for you. I was hoping you
show up, missed.
Speaker 4: It's also fun we got to see Katie, who was
so far gone drunk, but.
Speaker 3: Uh, Katie Doyle, Katie Cooley.
Speaker 2: Now, oh man, the group photo of us with Katie
is great because we are all, you know, giant, weird
giants compared to little Katie, who's like five foot even Carling,
you're the second shortest. I know, Zach, I guess that's you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach was definitely the second shortest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, either way, we are very we're tall, we're big
compared to her, and she's it's like we're swallowing her
either side.
Speaker 1: We look like those fucking giant statues and Lord of
the Rings.
Speaker 2: Really, maybe we should have found a different way to
arrange that photo because that is it's the two tallest,
just just encompassing this poor woman.
Speaker 3: Remember she was hammered. She We had listener Ryan, who
we keep shouting out in the chat room. He was
also at the event with us, which you'll see him
in some of the pictures, especially the picture of Mark
where he is trying to duck out of the picture
and inadvertently it is the perfect like off to the side,
smiling behind us a bit. But he brought some things
for the challengers to sign. He brought a horn like
the drinking horn that CT drank all the blood out of.
Speaker 4: Brought one of those.
Speaker 1: She was really excited.
Speaker 3: He was. He was super excited. Even after waiting three
hours or standing and doing that for three hours, he
was still super excited. But he also brought a mini
plunger for Katie to sign, to which she not only signed,
she signed it fuck you.
Speaker 2: Took a very long time writing fuck you by.
Speaker 1: Almost forgot to sign it. Had to remind her it's
actually sign Otherwise it's just a plunger that says fuck
you on.
Speaker 3: It, which is still funny.
Speaker 1: Emily, Emily is up in Wisconsin. Maybe she can drive
down Tom.
Speaker 2: She's right there. Yeah, she's right there. My little tesla's
made it up there. I can do it. There's a
charger right by the target in Egg Harbor.
Speaker 1: Now you know, so, Zach, how how was it you
were very nervous about this tattoo situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We went and grabbed dinner beforehand so that some of
us would have food in our stomachs. You weren't going
to eat, and me and Carlin and Tim.
Speaker 4: Are like yep, yeah, So I don't know why, but
like about five years ago, I just ran with start gain,
like anxiety out of no even like when Tim and
I used to do survivor. I used to always get
so anxious going to his house, which was so crazy
because I've known him for years. But uh, there's one
of the things you are. But there's are those things
where like I told you guys and tell THEMS, I like,
once I'm on the table, once they start, I'll be fine.
It's just like being in my head the anticipation. I
was like, once we're there, you know, once it starts,
I'll be good. And yeah, it wasn't that bad. Like
there's definitely parts as they went that hurt more, but
when they first started, I was like, oh, this is it.
This isn't like bad at all, Like I can barely
feel it.
Speaker 2: So really those first that first minute, the first few seconds,
it was sort of like, oh, okay, it's not it's fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Originally when we all went in there, we were member,
we're talking to Zach. We're telling me, no, you don't
have to do this. We're not going to force you
to do this. If you're not feeling it, that's totally fine.
We'll all go first. You can be the last one
to do it, no big deal. And this tattoo shop,
keep in mind, we walked in at like what was
it like eight o'clock or something like that. Seven thirty
walked it and there are five of us just like, hey,
we're in from out of town to get tattoos, and
they just gonna looked at us, like okay, Ryan did
call earlier. He did, Yeah, yeah, But we were kind
of thinking like, okay, you know, at least a few
of us, if not all four of us, would go
before Zach, and then Zach could decide at the end
of it after seeing all of us go through it
like no big deal. Well, then one of the artists
comes up and goes, okay, and he points at Zach goes,
you're doing the smaller one, right, let's go.
Speaker 4: It's you.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I know it's gonna be the first one
to go.
Speaker 4: Why do I give a huge shout out to Carlin?
Because Carlin followed me back there and sat with me
and like kept me company to make sure I was okay.
And that's super comedy. So I appreciate that. Carlin. Thank you.
Speaker 3: You are very welcome. I understand what it's like in
your first tattoo. Having someone there to try and distract
you a little bit, especially if you're nervous, is always necessary.
Speaker 2: Zach, how's your how's your how's your pain threshold outside
of tattoo? Would you say you're a high pain threshold
kind of a dude?
Speaker 4: I think so. Yeah, I think I'm pretty good with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well for you too, I think I think I am.
Speaker 1: But I think if there was somehow for me to
compare pain with somebody else's pain tolerance, I would probably
be like a giant waz right. Ryan says, well, Carlin
was considerate comforting Tim. We're Tim and I were outside smoking.
That is true.
Speaker 2: Well, we all have our things we're good at. Carlin's
good at comforting people. I'm good at smoking weed. So
just played our strengths. You know.
Speaker 1: I was called like almost like two minutes after Zach
went back. They're like, okay, are you ready, And I'm like,
all right.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: At one point in time, we had all five of
us getting tattooed at the same time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was very fun.
Speaker 1: And then somehow mine got done first, even though Zach's
is smaller and went first.
Speaker 3: You know, some artists are just quicker on things, others
take a little bit more time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh yeah, mine's probably like super in the shitty
or something. I don't know. Uh, Oh, Emily's super in
love with you because of all the weed talk.
Speaker 2: Now, Tim, oh, Emily, let's go. Let's go right here.
Speaker 1: Being Illinois, Ryan says, challenge took over the tat shop.
That's right, we were. We were the only customers. We
did some dude that was sort of leaving just as
we showed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Actually, Ryan, do you have the name of
the tattoo shop? I want to tag them in our photo?
Speaker 2: Atmosphere It was atmosphere. I just found the sticker as
I was cleaning up earlier today.
Speaker 4: Okay, I can't think of you, Tim, you have the
were the one that had the really cute uh tattoo artists?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I did? And Anna Anna?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all have dudes name.
Speaker 2: She was super cute, I think. Yeah, she saw me
walk in. She's like that one's mine the shirt.
Speaker 3: No, she was cute though she was were we were
We in Schomberg, Franklin Park or Roselle Rosemont.
Speaker 1: Well, Rosemont was the area. We're in Franklin Park, right,
We were far enough away all the neighborhoods started to
run together. My dude did did not seem like he
wanted to talk to me whatsoever. The tattoo was going on.
He had headphones on, was listening to music. I was
just doing the tattoo, looking straight down on my arm,
just ruing it.
Speaker 2: Was your was your's? The old dude, older guy? Okay, man,
the older dude must have been his shop because I
think he was picking them because it was all ship
like from our high school experience, we'll feel like dude
looked about our age.
Speaker 1: So he was doing zach tattoo.
Speaker 2: Okay, that guy, I think he was the He must
have been the owner. I think so Limp Biscuits.
Speaker 3: Oh no, the owner. I think the owner was the
guy who was talking to my artist towards the end
of mine. I don't think it's the Latin guy that
was doing I don't know.
Speaker 2: The guy talking was definitely a white guy in his
in his mid delate, late mid to late forties, the
type that listened to Limp Biscuit because that's what was
playing in Lincoln Park and like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely the guy that was talking about my artist.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my gun was suspect his like Wan or Jose
or something like that. I take a picture of his card,
so I gotta look at that.
Speaker 1: Uh So Ryan went with us, as we've mentioned, and
he decided sort of threw it out that Ryan should
feel like headfelt since he's like a listener to the
show hosts. So when she went with it, and he
got pretty like nice, like super more detailed than ours,
color eyed set a headphone, it's pretty good. And he
said his his artist, Dimitri said he first tattooed himself
in Russia when he was eight years old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his artist was was hysterical.
Speaker 4: I loved his artists.
Speaker 1: Any final thoughts on her weekends, Spike writing in line
for three hours.
Speaker 3: Still, it was a great time. It was fun to
hang out with you guys. We got to see those
of us who hadn't met him already, got to meet
Brian Tran, one of another one of the listeners, longtime listener.
Who else was there?
Speaker 4: Crystal her family.
Speaker 2: Sara Lynne, who hadn't not sure she listened to the
podcast anywhere, but she used to met her through the podcast.
Speaker 1: Told her we told her we're going to get tattoos,
like you want to go and she's like.
Speaker 2: Uh no, al our buddy, al.
Speaker 4: They kind of shocked me. Saralyn seems like the type
that I'd be really into Tachos.
Speaker 2: I really thought Saralyn when he was gonna come, I
really thought she was gonna come.
Speaker 3: Al's the one that sent us all the the videos
about Johnny Bananas.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 1: Al took it upon himself to go around to everybody
except for CT because it was.
Speaker 3: Just hold on, hold on, hold on. We were standing
in line waiting to get photos with CT and Al
comes up completely out of the blue, points at Wolf
and goes Brian Wolford, like full both names dropped.
Speaker 1: I met him Nashville a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: I liked it though, clearly just fucking around with you,
which I'm I'm into. I'm into that, Yeah, but it
was great he did.
Speaker 3: He took it upon himself and got videos of all
of them, saying, well, right, I like Ryan's video. It's
a little easter egg for the season.
Speaker 1: Actually need a favorite time he did his say, John.
Speaker 4: I say you'll see it on the season.
Speaker 3: Okay, spoiler alert.
Speaker 2: Little sneak peak from Ryan there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ryan, So I kind of expected that to happen
in this episode, but.
Speaker 2: I did too. Ryan. Ryan was my shortest Challenger interaction.
It was like eight seconds long, as he was walking
out the building.
Speaker 3: It was my longest challenge interaction, was it Ryan. I
was just like, I guess Mark was the longest one.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, he was just sort of there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I was just like, Ryan, can I just I haven't
gotten a picture and get real picture?
Speaker 3: I was like yeah, right as he was walking out
the building, Mark was.
Speaker 1: The smart one. He's like, I'm going to go through
the line that's waiting for CT and talk and take pictures.
Speaker 3: And so Mark was also it seemed like the either
the least drunk or the best able to hold his alcohol.
I mean, other than Ryan, who doesn't drink.
Speaker 2: Both of those I think.
Speaker 4: And Mark also when we were when we were in Cleveland,
Mark did the same thing going to the line there.
So I think that's smart.
Speaker 3: He seems to have a pretty good job and pretty
good knack at like figure out how to work the crowd.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's a professional. Yeah, no, he's He did a
great job. Even when he left, you know, we like
didn't get a picture with RyanDan or something, and he
said like, oh, I'm gonna come back, guys, don't worry,
I'm coming back. Like he was just very reassuring and
he worked the room. I think that's his element. I
think he's happy in crowds like that.
Speaker 1: He also can agree with everybody.
Speaker 2: I was gonna mention he also sent me a cameo.
He'll ordered me a cameo from him on my fortieth
and it was pretty cool. He comes. He's high energy
for everything he does.
Speaker 3: That guy, I feel like you played that on one
of the episodes many years ago.
Speaker 2: We did. We linked it from everywhere when it happened
just four short years ago now because I'm still just
forty four in my early forties.
Speaker 3: Yep y.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a good weekend, very good weekend.
Speaker 1: Katie is a little bit more polite.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be with Johnny Banias then if
I am fuck him oh vicious.
Speaker 3: Yeah he deserves it, Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1: It's it's so funny because uh Al came up and
he's like, yeah, fuck Johnny Bananas. I'm like, that's right,
fuck Johnny Bananas. And I turned around and Zach sent
like right next to me, he's not even remotely paying attention,
and I was like, right, Zach, And he looks at
me and he's like what I'm like right? And Zach
just goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, that's right,
Johnny Bananas. He felt really bad and then sent him
a message on social media apologizing Johnny, that was great though, Jesus,
all right, we ready to jump into this week's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Carling, is you right this? I hope so? I
don't remember this episode? Already forgotten it.
Speaker 3: I apologize for coughing through this episode. I'm gonna try
to not do that.
Speaker 2: All right. Hey, while we're getting into this, I am
I'm I told Emily to hit me up again via
via the chat. You know, I just want to say
this because we talked about this. The last message sent
to Emily was actually from me. I just want to
say that she is the one that left me on
Red Wow. Just throwing that out of there. We talked
about over the weekend. I know I do that a lot,

get a quick throwback clip from Battle of the Eras
the Trivia episode where you know CT gets thrown in
the water because he gets something wrong. And I mean
I liked that clip. I also just really like the
Trivia episodes, so it doesn't really matter. Uh. We get
a confessional from Laurel saying her first fuck you Darryl
or sorry, fuck you Drell wrote that wrong, dude.
Speaker 2: I called him Daryl to his face, and it's like
those it's one of those cringe moments that's with me,
you know what I mean, Like I can't fucking leave
it behind, you know, It's it's like it's it's in
there forever nice. That's LIKERINGE moments, I hope, yep, right.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So she says fuck you Durrell in her
in her confessional because she didn't want to be part
of the targets. And then we get our first CT
pro tip of the season or of the episode. Don't
do anything drastic when the game changes smart. And then
we get a pretty spot on impression of the Godfather
just from CT to Derek. Oh it was I found
a highly erchanic. We've got Era three talking to each
other about volunteering for the target positions and kind of
going around saying like, yeah, it's probably a good idea.
That we volunteer for these just so that it you know,
cycles through the whole team and it's fair to everybody,
and then we're not you know, scrambling at the last minute.
Speaker 2: Which it's smart, right if you guys play later on,
but hang on, if you guys are on a team
in this house, this is the way you do it, right,
because otherwise the team is gonna get pissed, pissed at
each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the stress off of the team.
Speaker 2: You work out a rotation. Yeah, you work at a
rotation like sort of ahead of the game, so there's
you don't it doesn't rely on anything, and there's no
like I perform better. So it shouldn't be me. It
should be you, like, fucking you do this and you
all agree and you handshake and you make it work. Yeah,
and we see it by the end of this episode,
it's already falling apart, but so far it's falling.
Speaker 3: Apart for more than one era to it's falling apart
for Era three and for Era four.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, the young and they don't know, they don't
know any better yet.
Speaker 3: To me, it makes more sense to just, you know,
have somebody volunteer now, so then they can go into
both the challenge and to the elimination knowing like I
am volunteering for this position, which means that my entire
team is going to help set me up to win.
I mean they're gonna try and win anyway. But like
we now have a single direction to go in and
if we don't have to worry about this later on,
because even though it's the you know, the winner's pick
to decide who's the target, and somebody could be a
real asshole, and even if someone else volunteers, they can
say I'm not really gonna pay attention to you, and
I'm gonna pick you anyway, like most people in this game,
we're not going to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll keep in mind too that there people are
worried about like the negative outcome of being the target,
but there's a very good positive outcome of being the
target too, And so once people start sort of realizing
that and and realizing that, like it's a it's a
power position. Really, if if you're confident in your game
and you're confident in your team, that's a power position.
We're going to see people wanting it too. So yes,
I like the format of this game. I really like
the winners of the elimination choosing the targets. I think
that's very smart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. I love that twist. I think
it's awesome.
Speaker 2: I do too. It's gonna make a really interesting gameplay,
I think at politics.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean Josh and Corey clear clearly are
not confident in their games or their teams. But you
know that's for later. We've got a quick Jenny and
Anissa talking about body positivity and as those on about
how she completely fucked her knee at the last season
she was on and how she's stronger in this season
than she ever has been. Yeah, yeah, I don't really
care about this. And then we have another one that
I don't really care about, which was Tory and Josh
talking about the night before and their whole blow up.
Speaker 2: Care about them, I don't neither, But Toy need to.
But Toy needed to be more apologetic than she was.
She did, all right, she sucks.
Speaker 1: It's just if.
Speaker 2: It was anybody other than Josh, we'll feed. Does she
need to be more apologetic? Ah, let's say it was Jordan. No.
Speaker 3: Still no, yeah, I retract my Yes, I don't think
that she needed to be more apologetic. I think they
need to have a different conversation. It sounds like there
is some pent up stuff there that they have not
worked through from a previous season, and specifically Josh needs
to work through his ship and just let it go
because this, I mean, anybody would do this, like, yeah,
it sucks in the moment, but especially when everybody's hammered
like it's just funny, they're just playing, they're.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, I listen, I don't I don't blame it's
I don't blame Toy for doing what she did. But
David in the chat room says what I'm thinking, which
is Tory basically gas lit Josh into apologizing to her
when Tory was the one that did something kind of
fucked up. And I don't think she needs to. Like fucking,
it's not a huge deal, right, But she did make
fun of a friend in a vulnerable moment, in a
shitty way, did she, And it's okay, yes she did.
She laughed at these jokes about about the potential of
Josh going up with Naya. That's fucking, that's fucked up
for a good friend to do that. And I'm not
saying she needs to like, I'm not saying it's like
a huge deal or she needs to like cry herself
to sleep, none of that. But I think that Josh
is owed an apology that's like, hey, you know what,
I was drunk. I laughed harder than I should have.
It was sort of fucked up. I'm really sorry she
said that. She said no, but she also she also
was cried like, oh, you're saying you're not gonna be
my friend. She like turned it into a big fucking
woe is me? I'm the big prior to that. It
doesn't matter, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Doesn't realize that this was going.
Speaker 2: To be something, Karlyn, I'm not I'm not buying what
you're selling, because she did the next day when she
was sober too this. Josh ended up apologizing to her
for loading out of proportion.
Speaker 3: But I'm not denying that.
Speaker 4: She guess.
Speaker 2: Right, and that's it. Then if you're not denying, it's
never done talking about it. Wolf, we move on, cal
I know, I know, but I'm arguing with you and
you're not gonna move on, so somebody's got to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But still, I don't think we actually saw anything
on the episode from Josh as people were saying, should
she was laughing. I don't remember them showing anything.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it showed that. Yeah, it definitely showed her
doing that. She like giggled under her breath. Somebody said
a joke and she reinforced it or something like that. Again,
it wasn't It wasn't a big deal. I don't want
to say like it was a big fun but it
was definitely worthy of. Like, I'm sorry I was drunk,
I've laugh I shouldn't have. She shouldn't should said she did.
Speaker 3: She said it that night. She said it that night.
She not only said I'm sorry that I said that,
I'm sorry that I said that. I'm sorry that it
was she went into the fact that she didn't realize
that it was going to be such a big deal
for him, Like she said it that night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's a fucked up apology to that. I
wouldn't have done it if I knew it was gonna
upset you. Okay, well that's a shitty apology. Okay, We're
go back at Yeah, go back, go back and listen
to it.
Speaker 3: Already dropped me, I already dropped the yabit still and
you are the one ignoring it this time.
Speaker 2: I'm ready. I'm ready to move on. Ten minutes ago,
Tim's girlfriend agrees with me. It's over, Emily, it's over
all right, I'll give you.
Speaker 3: Then we get another one that I don't actually care about,
which is Horasio having a pity party, saying that he's
not really he's mentally not really in the game, that
he feels like Kylon's the only one on his side.
Speaker 2: Which ras I'm done with this guy so boring, he's
so boring. I'm over this guy. I'm over this guy
so hard. I'm done with him.
Speaker 3: He needs more of a personality to be on this show.
Speaker 2: Carlyn, we're back to agreeing. Good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we are onto the challenge hold.
Speaker 1: On, I wasn't ready.
Speaker 2: Just smash his head and need it.
Speaker 1: Stupid fucking riverside piece.
Speaker 3: Well, we haven't had our sounders last time. So TJ
starts this off saying that and Tim, I have a
feeling that you were gonna like this. We are down
from forty players to thirty. We have lost ten players
in four episodes.
Speaker 2: I do like that, except that this cast is so good.
A redemption house would be nice. But yes, fast moving
season is good.
Speaker 3: I mean I get that this that this cast is great,
and I completely agree with you there. I don't want
a Redemption House because it's just going to end up
with we're gonna get tired of it and there. If
they do a Redemption House, they would probably do it
the same way they did it the last time, where
they brought people back like three different times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, I'm I'm in my heart of hearts.
I'm a I'm a lesson more guy. But less is
more leaves you wanting more, right, So it's I'm over
here saying like, fuck, I wish I had a Redemption
House because I want to see more of them, want more.
Speaker 3: I'd be given excess.
Speaker 2: YEP.
Speaker 4: I would have loved them. I would have loved them
to do it like they did when they had the
Redemption House on the Exes, where like all of the
redemption stuff was put on their website so you could
optually go and choose to watch it and then do
you know, otherwise, just the Final Challenge wish on on TV.
Speaker 2: Totally and I think Zach, if I remember correctly, they
did show a minute or two every episode like they
showed something, maybe it was a credit scene or like
they showed something that you were sort of clued in,
but it was not a major feature of the season.
They show they came back.
Speaker 3: They showed when the eliminated players went into the Redemption
House and the little like they would just when they
first start the video and they're like, oh, it's TJ
and then but I don't think they really showed anything
more than that, so you had to go online to
actually see.
Speaker 2: Who I must have followed that one online pretty close,
I remember. I don't know. I must be remembering it
incorrectly because I thought I remembered. We see them like
getting ready to go against each other, and then we
had to go online to see what actually happened.
Speaker 3: If I remember correctly, that was just the final one
where it was Nannie and Bananas versus whoever else.
Speaker 2: But Zach, I'm with you on that. I would love
to see a like a bonus only after show. I
would do that one. I would do that one too.
Speaker 3: So Top Chef on Bravo does Last Chance Kitchen, which
all of themed eliminated players go to. Last Chance Kitchen.
They have basically it's just one thing like it's you know,
whoever wins Last Chance Kitchen and the most recent person
who was eliminated. Just those two are competing, and whoever
wins out of those two goes on to the next episode.
So they're not carrying the whole house the entire time.
They're just carrying that one part, but that lives entirely
on Peacock and like they do a quick you know,
this is the eliminated person is going up against this person,
like ooh, what's gonna happen next, or they give you
a little teaser, so like I wouldn't mind that sort
of thing where it's like this is a way to
engage on Paramount or on MTB's websites or wherever that'd be,
because I think they do a really good job. And
even with Last Chance Kitchen, they in the last few
seasons they've had someone come in mid season and then
they've also had they've restarted Last Chance and they have
someone come in at the end of the season as well,
which like I wouldn't mind that either, Like if it's
you know, if it's played completely off camera, they're just
carrying those two people, you're not seeing, you know, fifteen
people in the house and then watching all fifteen people
compete and bringing back like four of them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, all right, what's next? Who goes home? This
season or this episode?
Speaker 3: The challenge is called Cradle Cranium. It is a heights
above water. We get some great confessionals of all of
the competitors talking about how much they hate trivia, except
for Kyland, who loves it. CT or Not CDTJ says
that he loves it, and he turns to the camera
and says that we love it talking to the audience,
which I found rather entertaining. We also find out that
Brad doesn't know what the word demise means for Brad.
Speaker 2: For Brad, I love the guy. He's so stupid, He's
so how is.
Speaker 3: He a math teacher? How an elementary school?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: How how was he a teacher? I don't understand.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't explain it, but it was endearing
And I don't know. Am I I think I'm not
in love with trivia? Am I the only guy on
the show that's like not super into the trivia thing?
Speaker 1: Yes, you always love trivia.
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's only all right to me. I
would much prefer eating, and especially this season like this
one is clearly going to be about the challenge. Or
it should be, but we don't get half the questions.
It just shows the answers like that's very unsand they
do that every season. I don't like it. I never
liked that. I never liked that.
Speaker 1: But then I feel they showed all of them. You'd
be like, this challenge was forever long.
Speaker 2: Right, so we just need to have more eating puging challenges.
That's the secret here.
Speaker 4: Wilson bears how poorly they did. I was saying there
like rattling them off one by one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, same, So they are. They're not sitting in like
a normal position either. They have everybody is like perched
on this bar where they have their knees are resting
on their being held up by a string and have
a bar underneath their knees, so their butt and their
feet are both hanging down. That looks like your legs
would go to sleep instantly. That looks so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you the only reason they did this is
to make the spins when they fell more spectacularly spinny.
Speaker 3: I can't remember who was somebody posted on their Instagram
a picture of them just holding onto the bar and
then dropping.
Speaker 2: Emily did that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there, Well, there were a few people, but one
of the guys posted on his Instagram, I can't remember
who it was. They were saying they the producers were
not happy that so many of the challengers did that
because they wanted them to fling off the back and
have these crazy falls.
Speaker 2: But even after seeing CT get hurt, Lera almost die like, yeah,
these are very dangerous challenges. What are we doing with
this ship?
Speaker 3: You're thirty feet in the air and these people are
hitting the water at weird angles, like you can severely
hurt yourself. Went into the water and busted his spleen
like seven or eight years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're still doing it. You still got to
do it.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So the game itself is a trivia is a Jeopardy
style trivia game. The categories are geography, History, love stories
and Hookups, Throwdowns, random and Challengers in the Wild. Any
question that you so they every round they pick someone
from their team to answer the question. It looks like
you can't get help from your team. If your team
members asked to be purely you, and if you get
it right, your team gets the points. If you get
it wrong, two people from your team go straight into
the water. I did not like that it made the
game go too quickly. It should have been one person
goes down. Honestly, it should have been the person who
answers goes down, not whoever was sitting on the edges.
Speaker 2: But I think the idea was to give it because
it's a team situation. It's slightly more fair that way. Yeah,
I think that's why they did it, But it is
a it's a weird way to play this game, for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I didn't like the fact that it
was to go down if you get it wrong. It
should have been one question, one person, one question, one person,
whether it's the same person who's answering the questions. Really,
I just didn't like that it was two.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I did like that that. I mean,
we see it at the end of this, at the
end of it that Jordan beat a whole fucking team.
I like that. There's that you know possibility here.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So TJ says that even if your entire team goes out,
if you have more points than anybody else, you could
still potentially win. So the first round, every single team
got wrong, and the answers for the first round were
who was or the questions were who was the first
challenge winner, which was Kara Maria and was like solo
Challenge winner Carl Maria? Who did that again, like not
even five years ago? Uh. The next one was about
a fight and they didn't immediately go to the CT
Adam fight. Like you could have asked me any question
about a fight and my initial answer would be CT
and Adam because that's the fight that everybody thinks of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that. Didn't they play that little clip
on this episode?
Speaker 3: They did? The third question was who was who was
Kendall's hook show mance? Right away knew not remember this one.
Speaker 2: It was the miss You know I met that guy then?
Speaker 4: So did I?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I remember this because they had a huge
argument because Kendall threw herself an elimination and Mike was
like so upset with her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was like coaching her through that one
when she like carrying bricks or something. Why do I
remember this fucking shit because I hate myself for this.
She's carrying bricks across a little something like that, Yeah,
stacking bricks or something.
Speaker 3: And then the last question was who was Berna hooking
up with? I also totally forgot about this.
Speaker 2: It was Oh, I knew this one right away. Nelly's
you knew it?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Round two we had a callback to the eight Josh,
what's eight times nine? Which was.
Speaker 2: Right? They kept saying the Big brother sucks. They didn't,
I don't. I didn't hear anybody yelled the eight times nine,
which I was waiting for it.
Speaker 3: I was like, I think it's yeah, I was hoping
for that, but I think it's just because that made
Josh look like a moron. And the Big brother sucks
was just funny.
Speaker 2: And Devin's up there yelling big brother sucks.
Speaker 4: YEP.
Speaker 2: I fucking love Devon. I love Devon. He plays this.
He plays this game with the right attitude of just
he does, gives no, tries his hardest, but he doesn't
care if he loses.
Speaker 3: We also get Kyland trying to show off because he's,
you know, mister Challenge. He's the epitome of a Challenge
fan who has become a Challenge competitor, epitome, epitome for
anyone who doesn't know. Zach sent a video of that
Nourice posted of Nourice saying something and she tries to
say epitome and she says it epitome that is that
is not a word, but you know whatever, it was
a nice little giggle this morning. Yeah, so he tries
to he tries to go for it four hundred and
answers his question like he's he knows exactly what it
is and like he's all big and bad and oh
yeah I got this, no big deal and he gets
it wrong. So, which I found is so funny.
Speaker 2: Well, I forget what was the question. What was the question?
Speaker 4: It was like what body of water did they swim?
And during a challenge.
Speaker 2: It was like agency or something.
Speaker 3: It was the agency, the red Sea.
Speaker 2: Never never a millionaires never never never would have gotten agency,
both of them. I didn't say, I didn't say Asian,
I said. I think I said agent agent either way,
would wouldn't it would have never got I still don't
know how to pronounce it. Never in a millionaires are.
Speaker 3: G Yeah, it was just funny that Kyleon like you
could look, you would see it on his face. He
was like, I know this is the answer. It's the
Red Sea. Nope. Yeah, I like her confessional for showboating.
Speaker 2: But fuck, I mean he's nice, but fucked that gay?
Speaker 3: Yep And This is when Derek gets his question wrong
and sends CT flying into the water, and his entire
team is like, oh fuck, did we just lose our
best player?
Speaker 2: Super weird. This is a super weird thing, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like he just landed funny, like got
the wind knocked out of him. I don't really know.
So they took him out on a stretcher and we
don't see CT until later on the episode.
Speaker 2: That was the weird part. They like it went to
commercial with him like almost dying in the back of
an ambulance, and then it's just like, oh, we're not
going to mention him for forty minutes.
Speaker 3: They always do, though, it just never.
Speaker 2: Came back to him. But it's CT. I just thought
it would.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was the same thing with Leroy when
Leroy smacked the water. They put him in on a
stretcher in a back in the back of an ambulance
and then he just disappeared and we didn't see him
until later on that episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird, though.
Speaker 3: It is weird, Like it's surprising that they don't ever
like give us an update. I know they're trying to
do the producer magic, like look he's magically Okay, Yeah,
it's frustrating. So ultimately Era four is the first one's out.
Pirasio and Jenny are immediately gonna be going to the arena.
Era one is out second, and then Era three gets
down to just Jordan against like what five people on
Era two.
Speaker 2: People something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, most of their team was still up there, and
Jordan ends up tying up the points with Era two
all by himself. Uh. Then he finally he ends up
going he gets a question wrong, goes down, and TJ
tells Era two, if you get the next two wrong,
or if you get the next one wrong, then you
get one more chance to still beat Jordan. But if
you get that one wrong, then we're going to sudden death.
And they get both questions wrong and have to go
to sudden death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get into it later as so whether or
not Jordan was throwing this competition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so sudden death Laurel versus Jordan. Laurel gets her
question right, and then Jordan's question is who was Devon's
rival when he first when he came into uh was
it rivals?
Speaker 1: Three?
Speaker 3: And Corey is over there like pointing at himself, and
we get a bunch of confessionals being like, dude, you
should know this. Corey gives us the confessional that Jordan
was at the gender reveal for his for one of
his kids, and that Cheyenne, who is the answer, was
at that gender reveal, and that he and Jordan had
talked about this the night before.
Speaker 2: And Devon is there, by the way, who Shan's partner,
like he should have got like he should have gotten this,
And David says nobody, he can't believe the Seann Duffy question, which, yeah,
I think any of us would have gotten the Sha
Duffy question too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. He even Jordan even kind of says, like Sean, Sean,
It sounds like he's trying to say chantal, because I
believe that's what Johnny was calling her when he was
pissing her off in that last right before the final episode.
Speaker 2: They were calling Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Think they were calling her chantal, So like you knew that.
When he started saying that, I was like, he knows
who he's talking about. He knows who he's talking about.
Speaker 2: It seemed like he was trying not to look at
like Corey and Devin too.
Speaker 3: Yeah dead Yeah. Ultimately he gets it wrong because he
says Sylvia, and then everybody's sitting there calling out, like,
what are you talking about? It's Corey's baby, mama. Uh.
And Laurel does her her typical like suck it dance
and is screaming about how she's safe and then says
fuck you, Derel, to which Drell goes back and says
fuck you, and then she goes on about you know,
he's stupid and go get more massages from Emily.
Speaker 2: What the fuck was this?
Speaker 4: This?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Super out of line, right.
Speaker 3: I'm really happy that they actually showed the video footage
of Emily giving him a massage where it was super
obvious that that was because he was having a painful
back and she was trying to help that super non sexual.
Very not like ooh, Darrell, what's up. It was just
it was Laurel being super out of pocket.
Speaker 2: YEP, super rude. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I did like that Emily is like, don't drag me
into this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I also really appreciated that Darrell called Laurel bully.
Speaker 2: This whole thing. I think I think Drell and Emily
handled it perfectly. They're just like, what a bitch? Like
that was not not what was happening here?
Speaker 4: Yeah? What was it?
Speaker 1: A fake ass bully?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And Laurel's horrible every season.
Speaker 3: All of it was you stupid? Are we twelve?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: She's awful. She's awful. We've known she's awful every season.
Every season she just proves how awful she is. She's
more awful every season, just like more sort of insidiously awful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scott says, I name my garbage? Can Laurel nice?
Speaker 2: She's trat, She's garbage, dude, Laurel's terrible.
Speaker 3: I I just I truly don't understand how she seems
to have good rapport with like half the half the house.
It does not make sense to me.
Speaker 2: I think it's because she's a bully, so she's on
your side, you're good. She has her victims that she
sort of pushes around. But if you're not that victim,
like you're you know, you're in how good graces?
Speaker 3: But I mean everybody sees it, like how could you
not see the way that she treats other people? Like
I'm looking forward to seeing next episode and.
Speaker 2: How I think people are seeing it though, Like we
see Darrell, who Darrell loves everybody, right, He's like super chill,
Darell hates Drell hates her, and like he's Ryan Keo
Ryan k hates her. Now, like there's something something's brewined
because we've seen we've seen Laurel several seasons in a row.
There's mid number breaks, so I think people are getting
sort of fucking cigarette.
Speaker 3: Well, like even Emily in this episode when she when
she says that Laurel needs to keep her name out
of her mouth and her confessionals, She's like, yeah, you know,
I think she's just scared. She's scared that I am
better a major competitor for her, which I agree with.
Speaker 2: I do too. Yeah, Laura can usually push people around.
I don't think you can push Emily or Jenny around,
you know, like they're going to push back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know if if next up on or
next on show anything, she can't push car or car
Marie around anymore either.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Good, I'm happy to like we've seen that in the
last few seasons. For the last season they were just
on All Stars, she finally stood up to her, which
was great. Anyway, we're back at the house and Cet
is back. She's really only gone for like five minutes.
Speaker 2: But Ryan called it. He'd come stumbling back in the house.
I'm making back old tool I did.
Speaker 3: I did change my pick on who I thought was
gonna leave the house because of our conversation this past weekend. Yeah,
he says the only thing that he lost was his dignity.
No concussion, no no broken bones. And then we're on
to club night and we gonna we get a Johnny
Bananas saying that it's, you know, basically a no brainer
Jordan and Hairasio going in because either one of them
going home benefits his game. Thanks Mark, Uhny, you just sent.
Speaker 4: What that statement from Mark?
Speaker 1: He just is what he said.
Speaker 3: Gotcha and Naya talking about you know, Jordan's saying that
Naya needs to tell Johnny Bananas that Jordan's said nothing
but good things about him.
Speaker 4: R z B.
Speaker 2: That's what I should have said.
Speaker 4: R z B.
Speaker 2: M real Zachy Bananas. That's right, he dissents. Yeah, Hey, guys,
you thought Carlin was a political feminist. This guy turns
out that this guy Carlin has no idea. He's lost chib,
I know what you're talking about. It just I'm not
sure you do context.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's what I was trying to do. And he
just wants to continue.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: I thought, this is I'm just talking. You can stop
or not, Carl.
Speaker 3: This is where the Corey and Devin uh Jordan threw
the challenge conspiracy comes into play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, was that?
Speaker 4: What was?
Speaker 3: What was your thought on this?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I to be honest, I don't think
he did. I don't think he did. I don't think.
I don't think Jordan does that. I don't think. I
don't I don't know. I have my doubts.
Speaker 3: What do you think I would say that? I don't
think he does that. But his confessional, the look on
his face when he said that Cheyenne just slipped his
mind was not very convincing.
Speaker 1: But was that?
Speaker 2: Was that him saying it does like uh like to
cover it? No?
Speaker 4: I thought I didn't think he threw it.
Speaker 3: Be more convincing.
Speaker 2: Hang on, I want to hear Zachi Vania's I didn't.
Speaker 4: Think he's turning until that confessional, and after that I
was like, oh, through it because we even saw like
in the deliberation he seemed like he felt with Laurel
and Bananas he's completely safe and then have to worry.
Speaker 2: So then let's let's let's so let's let's let's move
this out further.
Speaker 3: Why throw it, because then he doesn't have to be
the one picking who's going in.
Speaker 2: He's essentially guaranteeing that Derek goes in. And you think
he's just sort of as fine with that, like he
just prefer to save because he the thing is, he
could either win or he could lose on purpose, and
the result is the same, Right, So why would he
lose on purpose?
Speaker 4: I think he.
Speaker 3: Thinks that he's in good enough with Johnny Bananas that
he and Ayah are going to be totally fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of work. But then he
has to make has to throw people in.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: So Jordan's Jordan's era three, right, Yes, so you're saying
you're you're saying he wants to make an enemy. He
wants to make somebody mad here.
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to make enemies, No, because if he
if he wins, then he has the potential of making
picking who is going down. If he loses and he
feels like he's safe enough, then he's putting that onus
on Johnny Banana's laurel and they're having to pick who's
going down, and he's got to keep he can keep
his hands clean.
Speaker 2: But that's me, Zach.
Speaker 3: What is happening in the background, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know that quiet vibrator and quiet it.
Speaker 4: Sounds like is it still going?
Speaker 2: But so his lie has to be convincing enough, right,
his like, he can't have thrown it because then everybody
will know and any advantage that he will get by
losing is gone. Right, Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: That's what I mean, Like, I feel like, why would
you just the house? His lie was convincing, Like why
would you.
Speaker 2: Have not thrown it when you're up on the fucking
thing with your legs dingling, when it would have been
easier to throw it when there's like him against five people,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Honestly, he could have thrown it while he was up there.
Speaker 2: He was gonna throw a question.
Speaker 3: It wasn't up to him. It was the fact that
Era two lost both of two more two questions. If
they had gotten either one of those, right, they would
have won immediately.
Speaker 2: So he could have thrown He thought he thought they
would get one of those two and they didn't. He
very well could have maybe, interesting, Okay, let me rewatch
it with that in mind. That's that's the thing that
gives me a little pause. It's like, if it's him
versus five people, this is easy to throw. Just pick
one in the middle. That's fucking hard, and you know,
get one wrong. It's harder to go to sudden death
because now there's at least two people saying you're full
of fucking shit, Jordan, You're full of shit with this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's I have a feeling if he did,
in fact throw the challenge. We all know that Jordan
is good at trivia challenges. He always has been. So
doing three or four episode, three or four questions in
a row and getting those, getting a few of them
right and then finally getting one wrong is more convincing
that he didn't, like more of a on his side
of like, oh, I didn't throw it, even if he did,
whereas if he immediately got one wrong, they'd be like, okay, dude,
what are you doing, Like, especially if they were easier questions,
like what do you mean you got this wrong? Everybody
here knows the answer.
Speaker 2: You clear, Let's pull the Let's pull the chat room,
chat room, the Jordan lose or did he throw it?
And then let's move on?
Speaker 3: All right, So we'll move on. We've got Brad and Emily,
who the girls are off to the side gossiping about
because they look like they're on a date, because it's
just the two of them with a bottle of wine,
talking off on a table by themselves, and we get
Avery's new the best line of the episode, mister Zachi Bananas,
you want to let us know what that was.
Speaker 4: I'm a pervert for Surebert.
Speaker 3: Even the producers were laughing at her.
Speaker 4: It was great. I loved it.
Speaker 3: It was such a good line. And then we've also
got you know, we've got Anissa and Derek talking to
Johnny saying like you should swing big because now is
the time. And that's when, indeed, that's when Bananas kind
of drops the bomb of oh, well, it's not me,
it's you have to convince Laurel. Laurel is the one
who's not going to vote for Jordan. But I did
like that. I think it's crack of shit.
Speaker 2: No, I don't, because he kind of he said something
early in the episode of like, you know, hey, I
think he said Derek, He's like, hey, I'm gonna vouch
for you. But if if Laurel takes a stand like sorry, dude,
like I'm throwing you in.
Speaker 3: That's she says it right here, like I like that,
though I like you.
Speaker 2: That's a very honest thing of just like, hey, I'll
try my hardest, but I'm not going to try that hard.
Speaker 4: And as we learned this episode from TJ, Banana says nothing,
it's not a man of his word.
Speaker 3: Yeah, TJ was poking fun at him and we all
know that.
Speaker 2: But this like not over promising either. I don't know.
This seemed like a rare moment of honesty from Bananas.
Speaker 3: I you know, I kind of thought that, But at
the same time, with the he says it so many
times in this episode that it's not his decision, it's Laurels.
It's not his decision, it's Laurels. So it initially I
thought it was totally sincere, like, yeah, you know what
I will, I'm not going to pull a Tony, which
is what he says to Derek, and I kind of
love that. But the more times he said that you've
got to convince Laurel, You've got to convince Laurel. You've
got to convince Laurel, the more it made me think
that he is just trying to again, like Jordan plays
the onus on someone else exactly.
Speaker 2: That's exactly so, Yes, that from the very beginning.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course I don't think he was going to
vote for Jordan to begin with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so either. No, Derek and Johnny
have always been sort of like aligned under the surface,
Like Derek has always been sort of that part of
that Jack alliance that was sort of on the outside.
This is a continuation of that. I think Johnny is
saying like, hey, if it's convenient, I'll help you out,
but it's probably not gonna be convinced, probably not gonna happen,
So talk to Laurel. Yeah, it seems like honest, I
don't know, I've read Between the Lions. I don't know
if Derek did, but I completely saw dere what Bananas
was throwing out here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just it aggravated me that he put all
of the onus on Laurel. Not that I'd like her
at all, but he just seemed like a coward doing that,
rather than its stepping up and saying, yeah, we've we've
both picked.
Speaker 2: George Bananas, right, Zach, that's what Bananas does.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, I think just yeah, I think
it just came down to the Tony thing and he's like,
I'm you know, it's not worth me using my social
capital fight with her. It's dray convince her to go
my way. So he's like, I think he told Laurel,
I would like to go this way. But at the
end of the day, like, if you fight me on it,
I'm not gonna like resist you.
Speaker 2: Well, he has no power here because you know, bananas
will not stag stalemate. He will not stalemate no matter
what he will will not do it. So he has
no power. He's gonna always do what his partner says.
That's what That's what it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think he knew that. That's why.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna be shut around like a fucking
beta cook. She like a simp?
Speaker 3: Tim is how many bears? If you had Tim good?
Speaker 2: Damn second, I'm on my second. I'm on my second.
That's right, being a I'm not calling you guys beta simps.
I'm calling Johnny beta.
Speaker 4: You know what, maybe if West was a beta simper,
CT was a Beata simp, they would actually have more championships.
Like Johnny, does.
Speaker 2: You hear that? C? T you hear that CT? What
that guy said about.
Speaker 4: You CT don't want no, no, he didn't wanna, don't
want to back off in Chicago.
Speaker 2: It's very intimidated by you.
Speaker 4: He was.
Speaker 3: Yeah in the house.
Speaker 2: Can't right it as fucking the head.
Speaker 3: Back in the house, uh Dore. We get a scene
with the old guys. Drell says to Derek that he's
so that his back hurts so bad that he can't
even sit down. See team mentions that he shit himself
the other day. I believe that I wholeheartedly believe that
that's true. And then we get a quick pow wow
with Era two and it's basically them telling Johnny and
Laurel like we would like to feel like this is
a team decision versus just a you and Johnny decision,
and we get everything all of their arguments like you
should swing big, you should go for Jordan, you should
go for Jordan, you should go for Jordan rather than
going for Derek and Anissa, to which Laurel even chimes
in on the reasons as to why they should go
for the stronger team. But then Laurel and her confessional
like all of this is obviously falling on deaf ears,
and in her confessional she says that she's going to
do anything to keep Jordan safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I found this really fucking weird.
Speaker 2: I mean, they dated, they were like a couple, they're
strong people, they've been I.
Speaker 3: Don't think they actually I think they hooked up for
a little while in the house.
Speaker 2: They hooked up for a while in the house. Either
they have a history, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd find that funny that they say dated, because
like two weeks in a house is not dating whatever.
I mean, they can have a history and whatnot. But
it's just it's weird to me that she's so against
throwing him in. I wouldn't have expected it.
Speaker 2: I think we're getting weird insights into sort of these
these interpersonal issues that we normally wouldn't have insights into
because they're broken up an eras and the gameplay is
is as such that I don't know if we would
normally see a Jordan and Laurel alliance, good point, but
because they're cross air, it's like, wow, Okay, like I
see it. You know, they're similar people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Or we would see the Jordan and Laurel alliance,
it would just it wouldn't come out in this same way.
It would be kind of undertones to a bigger alliance
that and we just wouldn't realize that that was something. Yeah,
and then we go into deliberation to john.
Speaker 2: Fuck, God, damn it, I don't say my name, bitch,
where is it? See I said I sounded exactly like her.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately it's not.
Speaker 2: That's what bott.
Speaker 3: The spot. She was so drunk it was great.
Speaker 4: Umm.
Speaker 3: Derek comes to this deliberation with notes, plops him down
in front of Johnny and Laurel, and gives his whole
spiel as to why ERA one, who's on life support
even written on the page, shouldn't go down and how
it should be A three verses four because they're the
two strongest competitors against Era two. Makes a very compelling argument.
But you can tell that their minds are already made up.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like this Derek thing. I don't like
I don't like when Derek does things. Oh, I enjoyed
Derek very try hard he is.
Speaker 3: I mean this made I didn't think this was quite
as try hard as his normal stuff, but it was
still up there.
Speaker 4: I know. I loved it. Uh, last week when he
just was like vincing Tonny throw himself in and he
talked about that challenge. Man, I love that.
Speaker 3: That was funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, do it nice?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep. So that's deliberation, and we kind of just
cut out from that, and then we go to a
scene of Era four also talking about what we mentioned
earlier with Era three saying that they should, you know,
nominate with him themselves. Who's going to go up next
or volunteer. Era four kind of has that same kind
of talk, and Josh flat out says, I'll do it.
I'll take I'll take one for the team. I've got
this next one. The whole team is there. Everybody sees
him say that, all right, and then we cut straight
to elimination. Yeah, elimination ends up being Harassio and Jenny
from Era four versus Surprise Surprise, Derek and Anissa from
Era one. M Johnny totally cowers behind Laurel to let her.
Speaker 2: Was anybody surprised this was the matchup? All episode?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: We all knew this was coming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, in all honesty, we probably could have
figured out that it was coming from the first like
thirty seconds of the show when it was in Anissa
and Jenny scene. Yeah. Oh well, I still think it's
a dumb decision. They should have swung for the fences
and tried to get someone big out.
Speaker 2: But oh well, I agree. Is it because Laura's not
threatened by Nya? Is that what's happening here?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 3: Or she thinks that she has a chance with Jordan.
Speaker 4: Again, I have no idea, but it all did work
out because you say they just swung for the fences
to like get a big player out, but they didn't
swing with defense. But they still got the big player out,
so it worked out.
Speaker 3: In the end. I got a big ish player on
a small team, like I don't know. I Harassio's head
was very obviously not in this game, and it hasn't
been since Maurice left.
Speaker 2: I can't wait about Rassio, that fucking guy, don't so.
Speaker 3: The game that they are going to be playing is
pick it Up. There are two bamboo tracks that you
have to throw a basketball into and as it's rolling
down the track, there are forty jacks per competitor on
the sand that you have to go and pick up
these bamboo jacks and catch the ball before it hits
the ground, kind of like the game Jacks from when
you know old people like all of us were kids.
Speaker 2: I never played jacks, by the way, really never never, Zach,
you never did either, Carl, And you play jacks like
legit jacks, bounce the ball, you pick up the j Yeah,
never played it, never played it.
Speaker 3: Hum. Yeah, So they have to throw the ball, go
and get jack's catch the ball before it hits the ground.
If it hits the ground and they're holding jacks, then
the jacks they're holding have to go behind the line
that's farther away than anything else, and they then have
to go and try and pick them up from that
far away and catch the ball.
Speaker 1: David says lots of social media from contestants that production
fix the outcome for Derek.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look kind to that, because Zach, we were at
that show when Hirasio said something like, oh, production rules
and fucking fair shit whatever.
Speaker 3: Well, we got the ladies up first, so hold those thoughts.
No ladies are up first. Anissa immediately takes a lead,
and then it's like neck and neck the entire way through,
and Jenny asses the fuck out.
Speaker 2: Now, all right, are we talking? We're talking conspiracy theory.
Shit here, is Jenny really gassed or is she trying
to make it look close.
Speaker 3: Did you hear the way that that woman was breathing?
Speaker 2: I heard noises, but I don't know if those were
like added on after the fact because they seemed artificial.
Speaker 3: I mean, why would she, Like Jenny had no problem
in previous seasons just housing games with women in it, Like,
I don't see any benefit to her game for her
to know.
Speaker 2: So I think David is posing my question, is Jenny
really a popcorn muscles person with no endurance? Are we
really to believe Are we really to believe that Jenny
almost lost to a Nissa in sort of like an
endurance game that's like cardios?
Speaker 3: I mean, a Nissa's always had decent ish cardio for
who she is.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't buy that for a second tim.
Speaker 1: Shaped anti Anisa. I know David says he saw social
for me to post the Jenny vapes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe she has asked like I have asthma,
like I understand, like it's a real thing, like I'm not.
Speaker 4: Do you, but yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: It just feels like Jenny should have Yes, it just
feels like Jenny should have massacred Anissa. And the fact
that is weird it's it's it's unusual. I guess we'll
see what the rest of the season holds. This felt
fake to me. This felt like Jenny making it seem closer.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe she did.
Speaker 2: Wheneverbody's yelling at her and she's pugging, she's literally plugging
her ears to to like ignore the yelling and stuff.
I don't know, it just felt weird. It's like, you
can't you can't run for thirty seconds, Jenny. I can
run for thirty seconds, like most people can run for
thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: I want to see Tim do this challenge, right.
Speaker 3: It was running for thirty seconds. It was running for
thirty seconds, catching a ball, throwing, running back like you're
it's there was a decent amount of running.
Speaker 2: So you're legitimately saying a niece is gonna outperform, Jenny.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not. I'm not ruling it out.
Speaker 2: I'm ruling it out.
Speaker 1: I think you're not really biased just because you don't
like as yuh huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I am too, But there's no realistic
way that I'm wrong either way.
Speaker 3: Either Ways, Lisa has always had decent enough cardio.
Speaker 1: You give her ship all the time she is she
gonna win a sprint.
Speaker 3: No long distances though she's done a decent job.
Speaker 2: Listen Jenny's want to final, Jenny's want to final and
a Nissa never has. And Jenny seemed to win that
one like fucking easily. She meet Johnny Bananas on the
top of a mountain. So I don't think asthma is
like a super big problem for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was a few years ago. And if
she's picked up vaping, maybe that's I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Know, no, you're totally right. Yeah, two years of vaping
will totally make you. It's like it's like eighty five
hundred pounds like Anissa did. Swany's with me, all right,
that's all I need one more person on my team.
I'm good, I'm done. I can drop it, Swanny. Thanks.
Speaker 1: David brings it up because Jenny in trouble with the basketball.
Speaker 2: All right, tell me, yeah, but still Carly and just
drop it.
Speaker 3: Because Anissa has gained some weight does not mean that
she is not in decent shape.
Speaker 2: The same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still so ultimately, and he sends up losing,
and according to the show, she only lost by two
or three jacks.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 2: I think was just standing there waiting for her to
catch up.
Speaker 3: All right, I already said yeah, but still now we're
off with the dudes. It is Hrassio versus Derek, and
they fly through this game. Harassio goes for four of
the jacks at the same time, dives for the ball
and loses it.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: Purpose just to make it closer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Derek goes for five jacks and also dives to
the ball and loses it. And then we get our
CT pro tip when you're in the lead, don't get greedy.
Speaker 2: Yep. I was crushed with this because really I thought
when Varassio losses, I was like, Derek's got it all.
Speaker 3: Derek has to do go for three instead of five.
Speaker 2: Just don't fuck up, Derek, Just keep just don't fuck up.
That's all you gotta do. And then immediately just fox up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, immediately Derek. So ultimately it comes down to the
literal last jack. It looks like they place the jacks
at almost the exact same time Buzzer goes and we
find out when TJ's finally down there, that Derek has won.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So you guys talked about some production magic. What was
what happened?
Speaker 2: I don't know much about the story, Zachy, do you.
Speaker 4: Yeah? So the big debate is, so if you look
at uh explored when he wins, and that's the top
right corner where there should be a peg is empty.
But if you look slightly down, like three rows, the
peg fell out and he got trapped on another peg.
So it's still on the board, just not in the hole.
So according to the Reis and a few others are like, Derek,
you know, shouldn't have won because he didn't have them
all up there. Other people are saying the Royal said
it has to be on the board, doesn't say it
has to be in the hole. It just has to
be anywhere on the board, and his was still technically
attached to the board.
Speaker 2: David in the chap and says, apparently Derek knocked one
of his jacks out and production put it back in
for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when when dun dove with the five jacks in
his hand, when he dove with those five and knocked
the ball, he hit his board and knocked like three
or four of them out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I didn't seem understand that. Yeah, that she's
the production helped him pick his up.
Speaker 1: It means it's bullshit.
Speaker 3: That is bullshit, but.
Speaker 2: M well, and there was also some thing, and Zach,
you might have more specifics than I do, because, to
be honest, I scraped the surface and then I gave up.
But apparently there was a throw where Rassio throw throw
the ball in the little shoot thing or whatever, and
it bounced around for like fifteen seconds, like an absurdly
long time. It just sort of bounced around and then
rolled very slowly, and I guess during that time Derek
like caught up or whatever. And to me, it's like,
I don't think that's wrong. I don't think that that's
not like a lie, but that's the challenge, Like, that's like,
that's what this is. Like a bad throw. Sometimes you
waste fifteen seconds and it's luck and it's whatever. Harassio
like you you lost, dude, you like you lost?
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Sometimes people lose unfairly and it just sort of is
what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like Hiraso needs to stick to his
soccer games and leave the challenge out of it.
Speaker 1: Right well, from what I've gathered via the web and interviews,
production was placing Jack's back into Derek's board that fell
out earlier. They updated the rules during the match to
say once they were placed, they didn't have to stay
in place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's ship like that is like sort of
what the challenge is like. These are all sort of
like half assed games that fuck up like often. And
I don't know, I guess I don't really have a
problem with that. That seems like something that happens a lot.
Speaker 3: We've said it a few different times like this, The
challenge is never fair. There's always some element that someone
takes issue with, Like it's things that we wish were
fair that there's always something that's just like that little.
Speaker 1: I would say, if he placed them and ran back
and was doing shit and then they fell out just
because the board's unstable, yeah, fine, production goes picks them up,
put them back in with it. But the section that
Carlon talked about where he sort of bumps his board,
I would say, that's fair, like he needs to pick
all those up put them back in the board.
Speaker 3: I agree with you.
Speaker 2: That's the thing though, These are these are rules that
are made up on the fly because they didn't think
people are gonna do that shit, you know. Uh, And
so that's like Rassio has a big problem with that.
And I get I mean, I get that as much
as I can. He talked about that Zachi during our
during the show in Cleveland, which is like these rules
don't always like totally make sense, and you can't go
back to playback and you can't go back. You know,
It's it's just sort of is whatever production decides. I
don't think a guy like Kiassio doesn't like that. A
guy like me gives no shits with that. I don't
care so long show.
Speaker 1: Rasio Kay also says Horatio said to interview that TJ
blew the horn once and said, Hiratio wins.
Speaker 2: But that was the problem with Ninja Natalie versus Laurel,
right like this this happened sometimes and you.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, well, and I also won. I want to
see that corroborated by other players at that, like other
cast members. And two I wonder if it was like
TJ saying it where he wasn't listening to his earpiece
or anything like that. He just saw, you know, Harassi
would be the first one to raise his hand and
said that he wins. Rather than paying attention to what
production is actually videotaping or whatever, who actually put it
in first type of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, well, we know Harasid Harassia feels robbed,
he feels like the game stole this from him. I have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no sympathy. I think that this is
not Harassio's game and that he should stick to soccer.
Speaker 2: Same boring.
Speaker 3: The guy's boring, Like if he wants well defined rules
in a game that's established prior to you know you
getting there, then stick with soccer because that's not the challenges.
Speaker 2: Yep. Same, I'm done with him, done with Rasi by
Hrasia yep, hope to see him never well.
Speaker 3: And then the last like thirty seconds of the game,
we've got Jenny and Derek are the winners, so they
have to pick their targets for the next game and
they go through. This is where the self nomination thing
really comes into play. So in Era one, both Tina
and CT self nominate nice. In Era two, Emily self
nominates and Jenny picks me a Maya because he hasn't
really said anything and been in any of these things,
and he's kind of like okay. Era three, Tory self
nominates and then right, yeah, and then Jenny is trying
to go between Corey and Devon, and we get a
bunch of confessionals at Devon being like Corey, Corey, what
the fuck? Like we were gonna it sounds like there
may have been I don't think we actually saw Corey
say that he was self nominating earlier in the episode,
but it sounds like that may have been the deal
that he was going to be up next. But ultimately
he doesn't say anything. So Jenny picks Devon and Devn
is not happy. And then Era four comes around, you
know the era that Josh is in, who self nominated
himself earlier in the episode with his entire team around him.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in.
Speaker 3: Olivia has self nominated herself. Uh, And we had a
little confessional from Josh when CT nominates himself, saying that
CT wouldn't do that unless he is one hundred percent
sure that he is gonna win against whoever goes against
and he even waves his cowardly little flag and says, yep,
I will I'll sit this one out. I will be scared.
I don't want to go in, and so he is
real quiet and Kyland is staring daggers at the back
of his head. Because Jenny ends up picking Kyland. So
it's Olivian Kyland for Era four. So I wonder how
this is gonna gonna come back to bite Josh and
the ass later on. Then again, if they lose Kyland
next episode, then it may not matter.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I don't even know, like what,
we're not even friends? So I even want to be
friends with you anymore? Not emotional?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the end of the episode.
Speaker 1: Uh Hey, everybody head of a challenge pod dot com
joined the Facebook group. You can also join a Patreon.
What people get when they joined the Patreon?
Speaker 2: Tim all right, years and years after shows, pre shows,
all sorts of very interesting stuff. Also, Hey, we're closing
in on this uh LP thing, this record thing, play
order this record thing.
Speaker 3: We talked about everything else that happened this week, and
we forgot to talk about.
Speaker 2: That as an after show thing. Stick around the show.
You what else? Oh? Discord? I never played the Discord,
but the Discord is fucking sweet. You can talk to
me and Zach and Wolfie everybody about Carlin who thinks
she's too good for Discord and Stove and I placed
like the songs from the album there and it's fucking
sweet and also we say her name, So thank you
to Elena, Alvin, Anna, Caroline, Christopher, Cindy, Eduardo, Emily Grey, Gretchen, Jacqueline, Jamie, Jamie, Julie,
Laura Martes, Maverick, Patty Rowland, Ryan, Samuel, Sarah, Sarah, Scott,
sets check shake are smiling, Jack, Stan, Stephen and Stow,
Steve Nice.
Speaker 1: Do we reviews him?
Speaker 2: We have one. I don't know if I've read it,
but I'll just read it again. It's loading. It says
ratings are brutal BBC, who I think has left us
before we read this all done?
Speaker 1: All right, It's all about how brutal the reviews were
when Amanda was reading him. Ye hey, Zach, do you
have any social media stuff?
Speaker 4: We don't have too much a lot of it. This
week has just been the back and forth between different
cast members about the elimination controversy. The one thing I
did see that's interesting was when Tim and I went
to Cleveland. Harassio said that even though he's upset, he
would be back. But he did put out a post
where he said, uh, I had this immense pressure of
proving myself as a challenger, but not anymore. I'm sorry,
but thank you. So I don't know if that's a
Horasso announcing that he's retiring from the show.
Speaker 2: It's not. This is him being a drama queen looking
for attention. I promise you he will be back if
he's invited. I hate this guy. I hope he's not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this sounds like he's leaving. It vague enough that
it could potentially be construed as a leaving the challenge
for good, but it sounds like it's just an episode thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, done with him, done with Rasio.
Speaker 4: One other things I saw as interesting is that Nya
put out a tweet about the the team meeting that
Era two had, where you know, they're like, oh, we
want this to be a team decision. According to her,
that was actually just me and Maya's idea, and Neamia
was one of the spearhead of that, and the rest
of Team two was like kind of annoyed with him
and thought it was dumb, and they're like, now, Johnny
and Laurel won, like, why would it be our why
would we have a say?
Speaker 3: I find that hard to believe. They've got enough big
players on that team that I think that they would
want a little bit more input or at least an
idea of who they're planning on throwing in.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't seem like ne Amyah is rallying a
bunch of people up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot he was on this season.
Speaker 3: He's still real quiet this season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, till he was till he was thrown in this episode,
I'm like, oh fuck, Neamiah forgot something?
Speaker 3: Anything else?
Speaker 4: I think that's everything?
Speaker 3: Okay. This week's Fantasy League, Oh yeah, well the two
people who left. Anissa was on Wolfe's team, so Wolfy
is now down four five players. Yeah, fuck you, Wolfy,
and Horasio was on Big Uncle Sweet Tea's team, So
Big Uncle Sweet Teas down four Yeah, Tim, well I
am still down three players. Zacubananas has his entire.
Speaker 4: Team because I got the power. I got the power
Johnny protecting me.
Speaker 3: I think you've got the power of robots.
Speaker 2: From the sounds of things, Scott Scott says that he
forgot about somebody named Casey. Who's Casey? Do we know
what Casey?
Speaker 3: Goodness?
Speaker 2: Yep, thanks guys. Thanks So the.
Speaker 3: Host league, Zach, you want to give the score breakdown
that you've got?
Speaker 4: Yes, so starting in last place, and we got Wolfie
with fifty three points. Uh, and third Tim, who's moved
up fifty seven. Yeah, yes, two points of Tim. If
fifty nine is Carlin and in first place is me
with sixty one points, so we've only got four point
differential between me, Carlin and Tim Wolfe's.
Speaker 2: I'm coming more behind. Sorry, you're out, You're out, You're
me last season.
Speaker 1: I don't recognize the standings in this league. Recognize the
ones from the website where I'm ahead by one hundred points,
running number one above everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In the website version of the host league, Wolfe is
in first place at nine hundred and ninety three.
Speaker 2: It's a bullshit one.
Speaker 3: Zach Bana is in the second with eight hundred and
ninety nine, a solid almost one hundred points behind. I'm
in third with eight sixty nine, and Big Uncle Sweet
Tea is down at seven sixty three.
Speaker 2: Bullshit. That one all sucks. No, none of that one
is good. No one means Zach.
Speaker 4: If you have a lead in if you have a
lead with this again, go ahead that.
Speaker 2: Don't don't let Carlin reiterate things if you ever for
any of us.
Speaker 4: If you have a scoring system where everything else aside
the person who has lost the most players this season?
Is that far ahead of the person who's lost No.
One this season? The scoring is not a very good
scoring system.
Speaker 3: Okay, again, we could have changed the scores for everything.
All of those things were able to be changed. We
didn't have to have high scores. And the players that
he has on his team still are Kara with one
hundred and seventy three, Tory Deal with one sixty eight,
Johnny Bananas with one fifty seven, Naya with one fifty five,
and Devin with one thirty one. And he only just
lost Anissa who had one hundred and seven. All of
his players are really good players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why do you want Johnny Bananas to fail so bad?
Speaker 4: Talking?
Speaker 2: Who are we talking about?
Speaker 4: Carl? Change the scoring? We do. That's what I do
every single week when I submitted to I just changed
the scoring. Zach.
Speaker 2: Next time you change the scoring, make me number one.
I need to win.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're right up there. We couldn't.
Speaker 3: We could have changed the rate, like the way that
things were scored. We could have dropped things out of it.
We could have done all that.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, if we can change the scoring, why
is nobody changing it in a way that I'm winning.
I lose every time.
Speaker 3: Change the point values, all right.
Speaker 2: Carling, can you let me change the point values so
I can change until that of the.
Speaker 3: Point values are going to change so that you do better.
We could have changed the point values from the beginning.
Speaker 2: So we could do that for me, Zach, can I do?
Can you change the point values for me?
Speaker 3: I think you'd have to talk to the cast members.
Speaker 1: How's the public league?
Speaker 2: I have a few names of Cats members. I'm saying
Tim is on one. I ready to move on.
Speaker 3: Public league this week.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get drunk at the text with Emily after.
Speaker 2: This getting I'm already drunk and already texting with.
Speaker 3: Her two beers. I think you're lying, well, two beers?
How many shots have you had?
Speaker 2: Two twenty spears?
Speaker 4: Does that?
Speaker 2: Does that change?
Speaker 4: They?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: So it's like.
Speaker 3: First place, we've got some We've got a whole bunch
of movement in this. First place is now Tony time
Paige W I think she was up there beginning last
last episode two. Second place is Team H Heather K
and third place is c T Phone Home And the
number one out of the host uh number one out
of the host is A is a newbie this time.
Mister Woolford over here has moved to fifth place, followed
very closely by myself.
Speaker 2: Big Gambles this week, Big Gambles this week.
Speaker 3: Hey Wolfey somehow pulled himself out of the out of
the basement. Big Uncle Sweet Tea is down at fifteenth fifteenth,
and Zachie Bananas is down at twenty seconds.
Speaker 2: I'm only a fifteenth depending on how you count the points.
If you change the points, apparently I'm winning. That's what
I'm learning from tonight's conversation.
Speaker 3: I think that's just in your head. And then yeah,
it's the Weekly Budget League. Weekly Budget League has T
Bubble Sidekicks at first place, c T Phone Home at second,
and Zaki Bananas is in third.
Speaker 2: Nice nice work, exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm coming in a very close fourth, and Big Uncle
Sweet Teas at eleventh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suck it. Turns out I suck at fantasy shit.
But I'm I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 3: Hey, as long as you're having fun, I am.
Speaker 2: But like winning winning would be more fun.
Speaker 1: You have to when you're coming in fifteenth place, and.
Speaker 2: I'm saying winning would be more fun, but like even
ranking is fun. Just think God I'm not last.
Speaker 1: I'm in top five. Tim. I wouldn't know about stuff
like that.
Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't. Let me tell you sometime, I'll tell
you what it's like to be down on the down
in the ranks. It's not so good, all right?
Speaker 1: Do we have anything else?
Speaker 3: I don't believe.
Speaker 1: So we're fishing longer than the actual episode of the challenge.
