Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome back to an episode of Challenges, the
podcast all about the Challenge. I'm just the first episode,
but I'm back as always.
Speaker 2: I am Brian Big Harlan san Diego.
Speaker 1: Didn't even have to give them any fun.
Speaker 2: Uh No, you paused and we just took it. Took it, Ran.
Speaker 1: I'm done coming up with stuff.
Speaker 3: When you come up with stuff.
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody ahead of a challenge pot dot com joined
the Facebook group. You can also join our Patreon so
we'll get into later. Also, I forgot to, uh set
my lineup for this week's fantasy league. So off to
a good start.
Speaker 2: So everybody who's listening, go and set your fantasy league.
Speaker 1: Carol, this is episode about.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what the episode is called, but
I know that it's episode two.
Speaker 1: What's it about?
Speaker 2: Ah? Gotcha? Also, just real.
Speaker 3: Quick, it's called it we used to hook up?
Speaker 2: Okay, I I listened back to last week's episode. I
I have no I just have to. I have to.
I have to give a real quick apology because I
was so excited and I amped up about the episode.
I talked over you for most of the episode last week.
Speaker 3: Oh that's it. That's every episode can. We're very used to.
Speaker 2: It, you know, but this was like more than normal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're pumped, man, you're excited?
Speaker 2: Okay, it was also I also I made a note
of my note for myself saying that you could have
paid a drinking game with how many times I said
fuck in the episode. Yeah, people would have been ship
faced in the first like ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Wellfe is this energy contagious?
Speaker 1: Yet?
Speaker 3: Look at Carlin loving this show. Look at Carlin, she's
loving it.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work this episode. I have like a
really bad headache. I took some before we started.
Speaker 3: Oh lave, that's the old man's stuff, micro and.
Speaker 2: Stuff, isn't it? Hopefully the headache as away.
Speaker 3: I'm too manly, I'm an out, I'm a true alpha.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm gonna attempt to dial back my talking
over you guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, settled down, Carlin. It's just a reality TV show.
Speaker 2: It's fun to be excited about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm jealous. This is that this is a better
season than Yeah, for sure, for sure it is.
Speaker 2: I was just so so stoked last week. Couldn't contain it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happened this week? Can you contain it? This week?
Speaker 2: This week was a little bit more lackluster in comparison
to last week, but still pretty decent. I appreciated this.
We started immediately back in the arena. It wasn't they
like they only recapped the last like thirty seconds. It
wasn't like a full two minute recap. So we start
off in the arena and TJ tells everybody, Hey, after
every elimination, which he did not say last episode. He
just said after the elimination, So after every elimination, they
are going to pick a new partner. So this is
going to be an every week thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I really, I know, I bitch about this
every episode. They should tell them this upfront, Like, I know,
they should tell them this at the beginning of the game.
It's weird that they don't.
Speaker 2: But it is weird, but it is also kind of
fun because I mean, it's it's only one episode in,
so it's not like they told them, you know, ten
episodes in, Hey, we're going to switch up with partners
every episode now. So it was just kind of fun
to see all of their faces.
Speaker 4: Like woo what No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it from a drama perspective, from like
a people playing a game and strategizing and picking a
partner without really knowing that it changes, like, I don't know,
there's just something weird about that. It's just like, make
a decision without knowing everything. Good luck. You know, I
don't know. Something weird about it.
Speaker 2: To me, I don't. I don't mind it so much
in this well think, how do you feel about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't care.
Speaker 3: Yep, all right, thanks.
Speaker 2: So they are carrying over the same order picking way
that they did with the original episode with the episode zero,
which will probably never air for any of you guys,
at least our episode zero will probably never air. Thanks.
Speaker 1: There's supposedly multiple teams. I just imagine like a giant
like see like space movies, and they have that giant
control room with all the people doing their work and stuff.
I imagine they keep telling us they have multiple teams
working on it.
Speaker 3: The scientists with beakers pouring liquid.
Speaker 1: And I just imagine those people with like those printouts,
like you know, like the accordion, like.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know that printer. That's like, yeah,
come on, Riverside.
Speaker 1: White shirts, black ties, figure it out.
Speaker 3: Come on, Riverside, get it together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So they do they picked the pick in the
order that they finished the last challenge. So Dean Banana,
since they won the last challenge, they get to go first.
I have the whole order. Do you want to run
through real quick?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 3: New partners?
Speaker 2: All right, so new partners. D picks Leroy Bananas picks Izzy.
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's we don't need to talk about all
the picks, but can we talk about these two picks
in particular?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: What do we think? Especially about Banana's picking?
Speaker 2: I thought that was so dumb.
Speaker 3: He should have immediately he couldn't pick Olivia.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, that's actually easy. Is not that bad?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 2: Is he?
Speaker 3: I think a British girl.
Speaker 2: I totally forgot about the fact that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really that's it. Really. I mean, I think
any British girl is who Banana should have picked. So
yeahs he the other one? Tay, Yeah, I think I
think that's smart. But what about Dan Leroy? Why did
D said it was because Leroy is not dramatic? But
is that the whole story? What's going on?
Speaker 1: I think because he's friends with Johnny.
Speaker 3: Is that it ding ding ding dang? Okay, Yeah, staying
within her it's kind of I.
Speaker 2: Mean later on she says that she that Leroy is
good at puzzles, or she thinks Leroy is good at puzzles, Like,
clearly she doesn't know who this man is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not watched a single episode of the show.
Speaker 2: Like d should have gone for THEO or Turbo.
Speaker 3: THEO would have been a good one to another brit Oh,
I guess yeah she could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, THEO, THEO, Turbo or CT. She should have
gone for any of them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, all right, so what are the other partners whatever?
Speaker 2: So then we've got Aviv picks Jake, Army picks Picks Nannie,
Theo picks Sidney, Olivia picks, Will, Cedric Smashley, Mikayla and Leo,
Gabe and Kara, Naya and Ben, Justin and Anissa, Leka
and Turbo, Derek and Blue Derek Kazinski and Blue America
and CT and Tay and Derek are just automatically paired up.
And then we have Adrian who will forever be the
hangar nail so.
Speaker 3: Ct who was second to last, Yep, poor Ctea. He
looks like a sloppy bitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did not have a good showing on the
first on the episode zero. He didn't have a great
showing last week.
Speaker 3: All right, And Carl, let me ask you that you
you love CT, big crush on CT Prime CT. Let's
say you don't know who CT is. He's actually a
stranger to you, and you're swiping on the dating apps
and you see modern CT on the dating.
Speaker 2: App moderately like today day Modern or the episode.
Speaker 3: This episode, this episode of CT. Which way you're swiping?
Is he handsome enough? Is he handsome on the pictures that.
Speaker 2: He has up?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Does?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I look at him now and I just think
he's a sloppy bitch and I see him being a
beautiful man, you know, forty fifty pounds ago, but he
just he looks rough as ship now.
Speaker 2: He does look rough, but in all honesty.
Speaker 1: Later on a year ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like he's had a rough year.
Speaker 2: He has had a rough here. But later on in
this episode, he's standing in the kitchen cooking food, and
there was some something like he very obviously knows what
he's doing in a kitchen, and watching that, I was like, oh,
that's hot.
Speaker 3: Oh it was it was the food prep. It was.
It wasn't his appearance. It was him doing something.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a man who knows his way around
the kitchen, Like, shit, man, you want to cook my
food by all means.
Speaker 3: But there's there's a limit to that too. You can't
be golf in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a limit to it. But it's because I
know who CT is. I know what's what, what is there,
And that's what I'm like with that forty fifty pounds
And I'm like, oh, you.
Speaker 3: Got to detach from knowing. That's the that's like the
premise of the question, because I think he's not physically
attractive anymore. And the people that find him so are
just like because they know it, you know what I mean,
they like know his history.
Speaker 2: I can't Yeah, I can't answer the question because he
will always bat in the back of my head.
Speaker 3: Yep, I answered it for you, So you're welcome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we also know that your picker is off
when it comes to men. It definitely picks some fucking
weird ones.
Speaker 3: Oh buddy, you have no idea, Oh buddy, Oh goodness,
all right, he's great that question. Marinate on that, Carlyn,
Marinate on that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't pick up these just huge eyes.
Speaker 3: He's great, he's great, love bred.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that man. All right? Uh and then
so everybody's been picked and uh oh. T J also
says that if you win an elimination, you get two points,
so we get more more about this. Hey, there's a
point system, and Anissa is this little like, oh, as
many points as possible.
Speaker 3: I love Anissa. She's like, I hate it when these
people and confessionals just say the most obvious things ever.
And he says like, I don't know what these points do,
but I know I want them, Like yeahs that's like, yep, thanks.
Speaker 1: I wasn't here last last week. I will say if
the points turn out to be worthwhile, which a lot
of times, TJ says the points are really important and
then like nothing happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then they get if.
Speaker 1: The actually matters, Like I'm okay with this system. Yeah,
same point of that. You can't just like coast By
and think you're gonna fly under the radar. Yes, I'm
on board for and.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's done it yet, but I
hope that if you beat somebody in an elimination you
get their points.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be that would be.
Speaker 3: Cool to do that. They used to have that team
bank accounts, remember on this show, and like that really
did inspire, like who would go into eliminations and stuff,
they would want the person with the most money, and yuh,
it did add an interesting sort of wrinkle to the game.
Speaker 2: Yes it did. I always enjoyed that. No, I agree
with you willfully, like as long as the points actually
mean something and they're not just like, hey, you get
two minutes head start in the final where you're gonna
be running for three days.
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree, or like the Karma point where it's
like where it might be worth too much, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like you didn't actually win, but with this you did.
Speaker 3: They got to strike a balance here, So we'll see
how these points come in later. And again, we should know,
we should know starting right now what these points do.
Speaker 2: At least the audience should know. Yeah, like I get
not telling the cast members, but tell us so we
know what kind of stakes they're running.
Speaker 3: They're going, Yeah, it's hard to give a shit, Like
I never even note who has in the amount of
points because I don't really care, Like what's yeah, what
difference do is it gonna make?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Anyway, all right, So we have we are back
in the house already. Um, and you know, everybody's kind
of It starts off with people kind of talking about
how they're a little weirded out about how Derek Chavaz
like stabbed Justin in the back almost immediately after telling
him that he was gonna have his back, and in
episode one, mm.
Speaker 3: Hmm, I'm glad that this is coming back to bite Derek.
I kind of. I kind of for some reason, I
thought it wouldn't be back on the show, But it
seems like people are are stuck on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's one of the like Derek that he
totally is. They talk a little bit later in the episode,
but and he at Derek at one point in time
has a confessional that he was like, I met this
dude like two days ago. Of course i'ming going to
continue playing the game with the people that I've been
playing the game with for years, Which I get that point,
but you could have had his back and still been
playing the game with the people that he've been playing
the game with for years. It was because of you
and Kaczynski that he went in.
Speaker 3: But also failing that he should have like the next morning,
Manned up and just been like, hey, listen, I know
I said that last night I was drunk. I like,
I actually need to stick with the people that I said.
I was gonna like, I, you know, sorry, but I'm
gonna spring him on him at the vote. That was shitty. Yeah,
I think you just could have handled it better. Like,
I get it. I get that he just got wrapped
up in the moment he was dry, he was clearly drunk. Yeah,
but then yeah, you gotta handle it better on the
on the opposite end of that, that's just what it is.
Speaker 2: And I completely agree with Wolfith. Derek Schavaz is far
too smart to be doing shit like that. Yeah, Like
it was surprising.
Speaker 3: He does a lot of other stupid shit this episode.
Speaker 2: So he does. We get a workout montage, and this
might have been one of the best workout montages we've
had in a while, because it was at one point
in time the punches who was one of the guys,
not Will, but the.
Speaker 3: Jake exactly those two are exactly like you're changing, but
Jake is British and he has exactly once got an accent.
But they are otherwise, they're exactly the same person.
Speaker 2: So I was thinking of them too. Jake is punching
a punching bag too, and the beat is hitting at
the same time as is oh into Yeah that's all
I noticed, And you're that's just his aesthetic apparently. Oh
this is when we get c t in the kitchen, uh,
cooking some whatever.
Speaker 3: I also noted that he looked like a pro the
way he was cutting up or whatever he was cutting up,
like that's a guy that that's the guy gets cut
up some ship before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he knows what he's doing in the kitchen.
I appreciated that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. This also when somebody was trying to seemed like
somebody was talking him, trying to angle for like a
you're looking out for me, Adrian, okay, yeah, but she
seemed like she was sort of angling for something right,
like will you help me, you support me or something, because.
Speaker 2: She kind of feels like she's out on a limb
without any anybody there, which is kind funny because she's
part of the UK Alliance and he's like, yeah, I
got you back, of course why not.
Speaker 3: But then he also kind of took it back. He's like, Hey,
I'm just out here surviving, like like all of us are.
It seemed like a very It wasn't like a committed
like anything for you, Adrian. It was sort of like, yeah, hey,
none of us are in a great position or you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed like a hey, look like you're towards
the bottom of the group. I'm also towards the bottom
of the group. If we can help each other, like
get not in the bottom of the group, then let's
do it. Yeah, but it didn't seem very much like, hey, man,
I got your back, Hey girl, I got your back,
Like they're good until the end of the of the episode,
until the end of the season, like we're not gonna
fuck each other over. We totally got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was a very passive conversation. Just I'm
not gunning for you. It's good. That's kind of what
I took from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then we get Will telling us for the first
time in this episode that he and d used to
hook up and that he's a little jealous of the
DM bananas thing. So it's kind of non sequit are
just kind of thrown in there.
Speaker 3: And I guess I don't have any super details on this,
but used to hook up. They hooked up in the hotel,
right before this, right, and then that was kind of
all they hooked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's I have that note later and yeah,
it seems like they hooked up one night and that
maybe two nights in the hotel before they showed, like
before they actually got into the house.
Speaker 3: Even that saying saying we used to hook up implies
to me way more than twice a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, Yeah,
it was a little that was a weird way to
say it. It like, it implies a much sort of
even though that's still gonna emplay like a deep relationship,
it implies more than what it actually seemed.
Speaker 4: Like it was.
Speaker 1: Well, as Stoker vibes, he.
Speaker 3: Seems like a little bit of a weirdo.
Speaker 1: We're going to get into that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll get into that when we when we
get there. And then we also get a conversation between
Jeremy de Leca and Sydney talking about how they're the
strongest for rookies in the house. I don't I don't know.
I feel like there are some other people that could
be added to that group. I think these are just
the strongest for non UK and they give themselves the
name Jane's and Tarzan. What do we think of this?
Speaker 1: That's stupid.
Speaker 3: I think it is too. I don't know if I
like naming all these alliances all the time. We don't
need this, do we.
Speaker 2: You don't need a name for your alliance?
Speaker 1: Yeah, brother thing.
Speaker 2: Lady ladies.
Speaker 3: See that's I I think of lavender ladies. I think
that was the first time I noticed it. I didn't
I don't watch Big Brothers, so I didn't realize that
was a thing. And I didn't mind lavender ladies. That
seems sort of organic, and it seems fine when it
seems like they're reaching. I don't like. I don't like
this anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a big it's a big thing on
Big Brother apparently, to.
Speaker 2: Name your alliances, to come.
Speaker 1: Up with the craziest names.
Speaker 3: You know. Oh, I do remember the barbecue, right, I
remember us talking about it on this show.
Speaker 2: At the barbecue they were in the the international version
of the US version of the cookout?
Speaker 3: The cookout? Is that the cookout? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cookout? The cookout and Big Brother?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, But we don't need these things anymore.
Speaker 2: All right, we are onto the challenge. Mister Tim, do
you wanna tell us the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a it's a memorization game essentially. Hey,
they're playing it on the TV right there. Uh where
it's a it's a derivative of all this thing that
we see where they have to look at a thing
of symbols and then recreate that thing of symbols, but
the catches this time, the thing of symbols is on
the bottom of a car that jumps over like a ditch.
They have to look at the bottom of the car
to get the where these symbols are all placed and
then placed them in the same location on their puzzle.
That's it.
Speaker 1: Yep, this was dumb.
Speaker 2: I agree, Wolf, it was dumb, But I also kind
of liked it. And I hate that I'm gonna say this.
I know, I kind of liked it in that it
was a it was a misdirect. Johnny had it right.
The car was a red herring.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I don't think you needed the car at all. Right,
I think because some of the puzzle pieces were already
in there, and I think if you knew the pattern,
you could sort of do it without without looking cars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if people so the Yeah, the whole
thing is they have they have the pattern that they
have to fill. The puzzle that they have to fill
out is in a big circle. It's two it's two circles,
one inside the other, and they both have symbols on them,
and those symbols are on the bottom of the car.
But they people find out realize about halfway through the
game that the symbols on one half of the circle
are mirrored on the other half of the circle. And yeah,
so just like once people start catching onto that, it
goes pretty quickly. But I kind of liked but it's
like you don't have to stand there and just stare
at these cars that are going like sixty miles an
hour over this jump, so you get like a tenth
of a second to look at this thing. But it
was funny watching some of the some of the dumber
teams stand there, like, uh, how are we supposed to
see this?
Speaker 3: I was surprised that Turbo here. Turbo finished first, right, Yeah,
so have we known he's a strong puzzle guy. I
don't feel like I knew that about him.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't either. Yeah, winners are Turbo and Lecca
because Turbo figures out pretty quickly. So we have a
CT pro tip. I'm saying, work smarter, not harder, see
if there are patterns in the codes of the things
that you're working on, so that you don't have to
go and do the run or whatever multiple times. And
about that same time is when Turbo catches on to
the pattern and the mirror image of things and he
and Leca are done so quickly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was CT was second, which the
CT didn't surprise me. I kind of that was what
I would have expected a little was third.
Speaker 2: So it was Turbo and Leka, Olivia and Will ct
in America, Anissa and Justin, is I and Bananas, Ashley
and Cedric, Michaela and Leo, and then Naya and Ben
for one through eight because those are the teams going points.
He was with America. I was wondering what I thought
that Tim turned the music on or the sound on
on this TV.
Speaker 3: Okay, So then everybody else was sort of at the
at the tail end, and Derek was the ultimate loser, right, Yeah,
So it's it's.
Speaker 2: The battle of the two Derek's and their partners, uh
fighting it out for last place, and then ultimately it's
Blue and Derek Kazynski who end up in last place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not at all surprising. We don't. We got all
sorts of Beamed names here.
Speaker 1: This is the only episode we get to use that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true Blue.
Speaker 3: We have no idea what she's like or who she is.
Derek is the worst puzzle person I think ever in
the history of the challenge has been.
Speaker 2: Kazinski has always been a bad u puzzle person, and
he proves it yet again on this one when he
just lets Blue do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Blue obviously was struggling, and yeah, it wasn't
ever gonna happen, but yeah, Derek.
Speaker 2: At one at one point in time, she's literally sitting
there staring at where the car is going to be over,
just waiting for another one to go by.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Derek is just doing nothing. Remember he did
that in The Dirty thirty with Camilla, was doing some
puzzle and Derek was like not helping and just sort
of shrug it. It's like, Derek, you're fucking useless. Just
try like do something, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek's yeah, yeah, he's done it with Kara, He's
done it with dim Like, yeah, yeah, it's he's never
been good puzzles.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But the other Derek surprising, I thought he was
smarter and better at puzzles. What what was his struggle here?
Why couldn't he do it?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It seemed like they may have had
one or two pieces that were in the wrong spot
and it they just they realized the mirror image thing.
They just had those pieces like I don't know, maybe
because they all looked like ruins, all of the symbols,
so you've got these like branches. I'm a lot of
the symbols looked very similar to each other, So I
think he may they may have just transposed two of
the symbols and not realized that they were transport I
don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that surprised me. But other than that, yeah, that's
I I would have expected Derek to come in last year.
Speaker 2: Yep, but yeah, becau since he does, he does call
himself the l VP of the day, which is one.
Speaker 3: Sure, but it's the same as anything else, like if
you know your second at Derek, like practice it, dude,
like show some kind of improvement we've seen like Leroy
tryat swimming, and you know it's like you can do.
Speaker 2: His podcast all the time and really animated.
Speaker 3: He makes it work, man, He makes it work.
Speaker 2: All right. So TJ tells Turbo and Leca that instead
of being able to save a team with their win,
they get to nominate a second team to go in
front of the jury with aid in, so that the
jury has to pick between that second team or Adrian
to go into the sand with blue only. I love it.
Speaker 3: Let's do it, Let's do it.
Speaker 2: We are on to club night. I loved this song
when it came out, so good, such a good song.
We have CT given the toast. Uh Turbo is wearing
wearing neon rimmed glasses. Turbo does tell Leca the because
she's kind of wondering, you know, who should I pick
or who should we picked to go down there, and he's,
you know, he's doing the Turbo thing of like I'm
gonna let my partner kind of pick unless she really
goes off the reservation. But he he tells her like, hey,
if you if you're good to Nanni and Kara, like
if you, if you treat them right, if you are
on their side, they will do the same to you.
Like they are not the type of people who are
gonna stab you in the back. They will They're good
to play this game with which I appreciated him saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really I like Turbo's approach here. He says like, hey,
it's Women's Day. I'm just gonna like let her decide,
and he does, like like you said, Carl, he gives
a little bit of guidance, a little bit of like,
hey that here's some something he might want to consider.
But I think he just mostly just like lets her,
lets her figure it out, and he's gonna back her up.
I think that's a good approach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. So far this season, I'm really
liking Turbo.
Speaker 3: He's not taking it as seriously as he usually does.
Speaker 1: I think he'll ruin it.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm trying to I'm trying to hold out
hope that we're gonna that we're gonna keep fun. Turbo.
Speaker 3: He's been fun. He's he seems like he's trying to
be fun.
Speaker 2: Some of the ship that he said is great.
Speaker 1: Weird thing is we didn't we know he gets into
it a ct and I don't know whose side to
be on because.
Speaker 2: I know, and that's a.
Speaker 1: Mess that we're just like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Could Yeah, and the things that he says to see
because he calls him a fat fuck or something about
it and like it doesn't see like I'm kinda I'm
on that same page of like I don't know. I
don't know whose sight I'm gonna be on either, because
it seems like it might be warranted, but it's also
kind of funny, like I don't I don't know. So
as long as he doesn't post up in the living room,
Scott's agree.
Speaker 3: No, this seems like a fun when he's got this,
he's got the sunglasses on, he's got have you gotten
here crying with the little box with the middle finger thing,
like he's just fucking around. He's not taking it seriously
this time. I don't think.
Speaker 2: That's just about to come up. You want to explain
the box of the middle finger.
Speaker 3: I didn't quite say why. I understand what he was saying.
He was given cete right.
Speaker 2: No, he was giving it to bananas.
Speaker 3: Bananas, and he said something like I'm gonna give you something.
You have to give it to somebody else, not back
to me, or like yeah, he.
Speaker 2: Says, you can't get mad, like you you can't be
mad at me, and it can't. You can't give it
back to me, but you have to give it to somebody.
You can't keep it, and you could tell that Bananas
just kind of like, wait, it's a very weird thing
to see something that I have to give it away
and I can't give it back to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very weird. It was a very weird
way to present that gift. But the gift was it
was like a little black box and when you open
it up, a little plastic middle finger just on a
spring came out and was flicking off opened.
Speaker 2: Bananas is just dying. He thinks it's so funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it was. It was weirdly unexpected. I didn't
know what was in the in the box, and Turbo's
like such a weird fucking guy, But yeah, that's what
that was.
Speaker 2: Yep, we get a little Carra kind of sticks her
head around like, oh, you're you're making deals with the
devil over there, Turbo. You're laughing with him because she
and Johnny their their relationship, it's weird, like at one
point in time, Johnny's walking away from the bar with
his arm around Carra. At other times they just fucking
hate each other, like their relationship is very strange nowadays.
Huh did you mean nanny? No, he's got one arm
around Nanny and one arm around Kara.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's also a weird shot of CT like giving
a Nissa a big like backwards hug. Yep, these these
are just very like touchy feely old friends, I guess.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a you know, they've all known
each other for so fucking long that even if they
hate each other, they're still gonna like there's a relationship
there because they've known each other, you know, fifteen years.
Speaker 3: I think for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ye. So we also get the conversation between Derek and Justin. Uh,
they sit down kind of away from everybody at the bar,
and Justin just kind of lays into Derek like, dude,
you stab me in the back, Like, but you know,
today was karma for you stabbing me in the back
because you were at the very bottom of the day
and I was at the top. And then we give
the little talking head from Derek. That's when we get
Derek's old talking head saying, dude, I've known you for
two days.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I think I'm on Justin's side
apology here, but it.
Speaker 3: Was a weird one. It was a weird apology. I
didn't like it. I Yeah, I don't feel better about
Derek no post bar scene here.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just a weird situation because okay, you've only
known it for two days. Then why did you sit
down and have this serious conversation with you? Yeah, yeah,
I'm on your side, but I'm not going to do
anything blah blah blah, Like you completely brought this on yourself.
I've just not done any of that and then been
perfectly fine, and nobody would have even thought about.
Speaker 3: It yep, yep, or just communicated it afterwards, like just
you know, to Justin to us as listeners, saying like, yeah, listen,
I said it. I shouldn't have. Like that was fucked up.
You know, it seems it still seems like he's making
excuses and being like, of course, I'm not gonna do
what I said to Justin, Like.
Speaker 2: It kind of feels like this might have been the
first time that he was kind of caught in this
kind of situation. Yeah, and he's not really sure what
to do. But it's still like Derek, dude, I mean,
you could have voted the other way and it would
have been totally fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: It's just it's very strange.
Speaker 3: He could have thrown a vote away and it still
would have been him going in. I mean there was
just there was a lot of things he could have done. Yeah,
but he sucked it up.
Speaker 2: The bad call there, yep, which is unfortunate because I like,
I really like Derek and this season so far not
a great showing.
Speaker 3: M Yeah. Scott says he also went way overboard of
the drink thing. Are we on the drink thing? Are
you talking about the drink thing?
Speaker 2: So not quite. Let's see, we've got just it.
Speaker 3: I love the drinking.
Speaker 2: We've got Leka pulling Blue and oh Lea pulls Blue
and Adrian aside Becausea is one of the winners. She
pulls those two aside because Adrian is automatically going in
and Blue is the one who is it's automatically going
into the jury, and Blue is going into the sand.
And she kind of says, you know, who do you
want to go? Who should I pick as the other person?
And Blue's like, look, Adrian, I don't want to go
against you because we are different sized. I like, I
want someone who I think I can beat, and she says,
I want Tay and Adrian. Adrian's reaction kind of surprised me.
Adrian was like, WHOA, not cool. You shouldn't be going
for Tay. Why aren't you going for a VET? I
was surprised that she was so like why aren't you
going for a Vet? And just why aren't you going
for literally anybody else? Because I get the Tay's on
the UK alliance, but the automatically pulling the Vet thing out,
I don't know. For some reason, it surprised me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't pay much tense to Adrian's thing. I
was just really impressed at Blue. I think Blue is
doing the things that Derek should have done, Like, yeah,
she's like confronting the people directly and saying like here's
what I want here? Why no offense, no hard feel
like this is just a game of what's what I'm doing?
Like that's how that's kind of what you're supposed to do.
I really ended up liking Blue well.
Speaker 2: And surprisingly the name that Adrian throws out they like
I should pick instead of Tay is Mikayla. Like Mikayla.
It was so dumb. Mikayla's guy, Like, Mikayla's going to
go so far in this game if you want to
pick somebody who is. If you're trying to think, how
can I pick somebody who is going to potentially be
like same size and could potentially be beat by Blue,
Go with like smash Lee or Aviv. I mean, honestly,
Aviv is probably too strong for him. But go with
smash Lely or like Nanny. Nanni's probably the closest in size.
Yeah yeah, but I feel like Aviv could kick a
lot of people's ass.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. I think Blue one of the weakest, like
the weakest, And I do think Tay is probably I mean,
we know how it worked out, but it's probably who
would have picked if I were her same.
Speaker 2: All right, now we're at the drink thing with Derek. Uh,
you want to explain it?
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm not sure I completely understand the situation.
Speaker 3: But and who's the other guy? It's Oh, I was
gonna make I was gonna make a wolf. You guess it.
You would have known, right, I thought you were asking
me it's a ninja turtle wolf fake.
Speaker 1: Oh well, now I'll remember I wouldn't have got it
up to this point. So apparently Derek is getting paying
for his bill, and that dude says something about there's
like a two for one deal or something.
Speaker 3: It's hard.
Speaker 1: Derek's like okay, and then like, I don't know, does
he go to order another drink or something and Leo
just grabs his drink and like ticks off with it.
Speaker 3: It's very unclear.
Speaker 1: What drunken, Like, I don't know, he took my drink
and he laughed at them. I'm just like, what are
you talking about.
Speaker 2: I had to rewind it a few times to kind
of re listen to it. It sounds like Derek was
just filling it, like he had a brand new drink
and he was, you know, signing for his bill, and
as he's got a brand new draining he's signing for
his bill. Leo chimes in saying, oh, you know they're
doing a two for one thing, right, and he kind
of oh cool, okay, And then Leo don't know why
he thought he was allowed to do this. He grabs
the drink that Derek has just paid for, and Derek
looks at the bartender and says, this is a two
for one thing, right, And the bartender tells him no,
but Leo has just walked away with his brand new
drink that he's now drinking that Derek is paid for
and so that's why Derek was all upset, and then
Anissa that he's telling this to Anissa, and Anissa turns
to Leo and says, so, why did you think that
it was an okay thing to take his drink in
the first place? Like why did you think that you
got the second of this two for one thing? And
then Leo walked up on Anissa and everybody's.
Speaker 3: Like whoa, No, this whole thing was very weird. I
got there and like, you know, I don't know these people,
but they're drunken. Shit. I thought Leo was fucking around
and was just like trying to get a free drink.
And I wonder if Derek would have approached it as
its like like a friendly like hey, fucker, like give
me that back. I wonder if Leo would have just
given it back. But it like escalated really, yeah, intensely,
because the two for one thing seemed like a fuck around.
It seemed like he was just fucking around he did,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, it kind of felt like that to me too.
But then when Derek didn't react the way that you
would expect him to react for that, and Leo didn't
immediately do the like, oh, sorry, dude, I was just joking. Yeah,
Like that could have smoothed it over pretty quickly. But
I feel like they may have all been too drunk
to like have the wherewithal to be like, oh shit,
sorry dude, I was just joking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very weird over like a six dollars drink.
You know, I'm sure it wasn't like a big deal.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they're in they're in Santiago, so shit,
it might have even been cheaper than six bucks. Yeah,
so yeah, it's very weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Scots say, is just buy another drink, which, yeah,
that's clearly the the option here. But yeah, I guess
the emotions are heightened. Derek has already had a weird
tense thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're drunk, Yeah, they are very drunk. Then we
go on to the next very drunk person, Will. So
Will has already told us earlier in the episode that
he and d used to hook up, and then we
got a quick, quick, little you know, vignette at one
point in time a little bit later in the episode
where he's talking with Anissa and Olivia and they ask,
you know, are you single, and he says yes, and
they say, do you have your eye on anybody in
the house, and he says, no, I think everybody in
the house is great, and they both kind of do that. Huh, No,
we know that's not true, Like you have your eye
on D. And it's like we kind of know that
he has a thing for D. But here we have
D and Johnny in the foreground, and you see Will
walk behind them in the background, and it's just so
obvious that he's just I and the two of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, listen, I feel a little bit for Will here.
And I'm not saying he's acting right, but I understand
feeling a certain way about hooking up a D. You
gotta figure six days ago or something at this point, right,
I mean, and now she's doing this like lovey dovey,
like deep in the eyes, look at the bars. I
can listen. I get why Will feels a way about it.
I get that Will's a little bit like what the
fuck man that's fucked up? After that. I don't agree
with any of his but I feel for him a
little bit here.
Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, I.
Speaker 1: I this is true.
Speaker 2: I have a point here, you do you have a
point because you feel that way about it because we
have seen this in the opposite We've seen women do
this consistently. Smashly has the name Smashly because she did
this in a bar to Janie. Yeah, because she freaked
out because Jamie was talking. Kara's cousin was talking, just
talking to another girl when they had been hooking up
in the house and freaked out in a bar. Yeah,
So like it's it's not unheard of this sort of thing,
but it's just it doesn't happen like this, ye to
this extent with most of the guys in this.
Speaker 3: House, I think, because the guys are aging and Will,
like we're back to a young Will who's powered by
alcohol and maybe a little less experience with the cameras
and tempering embarrassing moments and shit like that. And so yeah,
here we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, he's he's kind of freaking out in
the bar. Then we see him. Then we see everybody
getting onto the bus to go back to the house,
and he is freaking out in the bus and he
is sitting in the seat just across the aisle from him.
Speaker 3: But Justin was trying to wasn't Justin stepping into like
try to get them to sit separately. I got the
impression Justin was trying to do something. Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell if he was trying to get them
to like separate farther or if he was trying to
get them to sit closer. I think it was sit
farther away.
Speaker 3: I'm not really I think it was too Yeah, I
don't know either.
Speaker 2: But Will is punched in the back of the seat
in front of him on the bus. D thinks this
is all hilarious. I hate this from d two by
the way, she thinks this is so funny.
Speaker 3: Give me the give me the women's perspective on what
d is saying here with this shit, Carlin.
Speaker 2: I mean, in all reality, we've seen guys do this
in other episodes, and I feel the same way on
either side, Like if you are just teasing them to
tease them and you know that this is just fucking
with their head, like that's not cool.
Speaker 3: That's what Dee was saying, though. Essentially, Well, she's like,
I'm here for it. I you know, he's freaking out,
he's being he's being ridiculous. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get kind of laughing at it in
the in the moment when you're drunk, but like the
next day, you need to go up to him and
be like, dude, we hooked up like three times. Yeah,
I'm not interested. I am interested in someone else. I
get that you feel some kind of way, but we
are not to get like that. That conversation probably needs
to happen, and it doesn't sound like it's ever going to.
Speaker 3: And that's what Will said he wanted, and so if
we take his word for it and believe him, like
I do, think he's owed that. I think d should
spend this thirty a thirty second conversation be like, hey, listen,
that was fun in the hotel. That was all that was.
It's over. I'm doing something else, see you later. It's weird.
It's weird to leave it hanging.
Speaker 2: This is when we find out that they that they
hooked up in the hotel, which when he said that,
it was initially like I I just thought it was like,
wait a second, so you used to hook up or
you but you only hooked up at the hotel, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those weird It's it's a phrase
like yeah, it's it works. You're not lying, but it's
also very misleading. That's a weird one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Saying we used to hook up implies an extended period
of time. Yeah, And saying we hooked up in the
hotel implies the like two or three days that we
were all in the hotel. Did you get over the
initial jet lag to get everybody to the same place
before shooting started in those like two or three days
when we're all stuck in real close quarters like we
hooked up at that point in time. Yeah, It's it's
very strange, very very strange.
Speaker 3: The unspoken thing I think is that Will thought this
was going to proceed into the house, into a romance
in the house, maybe even outside of the house, and
it stopped once the cameras were on, and like that
sucks for him? Do it? Like that sucks?
Speaker 2: I well, And I think the other element to this
is I'm pretty sure that Will came from Love Island,
so like he came from I think he came from Love,
he came.
Speaker 3: From dramatic dating show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's kind of looking at it like, oh, hey,
this is kind of more of that same thing, just
with bigger challenges.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 2: Yes, we've got justin Leka and Anissa. They're back at
the house. Now, the three of them and Will are
sitting on the balcony and they're up there trying to
kind of, you know, for lack of a better term,
talk him off the ledge because he's just up there,
just in his fields. He is so upset about this.
And the funniest part about it is that that balcony
it overlooks where D and Johnny are hooking up just
down below.
Speaker 3: Oh man, and that guy wants to just look gaze
over it. Everybody's pulling him away, like do it. She's
not your girlfriend, Like stop this, you're being crazy. He's
so he just can't do it. He can't do it.
Speaker 2: He so desperately wants D to look up and see
him and go, oh no, Johnny, I can't do this anymore,
and get up and run up to him like that's
what he's so desperate. He wants her to see him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's drunk.
Speaker 3: He's drunk. He's drunk. That's really all he's.
Speaker 1: Got, the fields. He's drunk. It's not a good commedation,
No it's not.
Speaker 2: It's just really funny to watch.
Speaker 3: We've all been there in our twenties, yes we have.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: It's because it was young, right this ship.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding, I got some of the ship that we've.
Speaker 2: All done, like fuck man. Then they go back inside.
They finally pulled them away from the balcony, and all
of a sudden we hear things break, which I mean
a little bit of post ending, but it sounds like
Will may have punched a wall and potentially injured his hand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it showed it. I don't know. It didn't look
that injured to me, to be honest. It looked like
a hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they kept showing it.
Speaker 1: It just could have broken a knuckle or two.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 1: I did that. I did that in high school.
Speaker 2: Before, because they kept showing his hand and like he
says that it's sore, but like you can't really tell.
Speaker 3: Yeah it didn't. It looked fine to me, Like it's
I could tell what they were trying to present. But yeah,
I just didn't land.
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. I'm just wondering if this is going
to come back in the next few episodes to where
he like actually has to go. It impacts him in
the challenges, like he makes mention of like, hey, I
think I may have broken my hand type of thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and to his credit too, we've seen a
bunch of drunk people hitting on this show. This is
also a relatively innocent hit, like it's he hit a
wall off camera just to sort of relieve it's like
I don't like in a weird way, these are kind
of endearing me to will of like he's a mess,
but he's like not punching people. He's not like he's
he found a wall and he just punched that.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 3: Yeah, This is.
Speaker 1: Where we need a CT pro tip, the one to
tell you and I can. I can do it for him,
which is, uh, when you punch stuff, don't punch with
these knuckles. It's not supported by the rest of you.
And you gotta punch with these two because you have
the support of the whole rest of you, otherwise you'll
break your hand.
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna go with don't smash heads,
smash walls.
Speaker 2: That one also works for the listeners who cannot see
what wolf you just did. Punch with your pointer and
middle finger knuckles, not your ring and pinky finger knuckles.
Speaker 1: Do you have like my my cousin who was a
taekwondo black belt, told me.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that that's actually very good information to.
Speaker 1: Have to punch with these two because you'll have the
entire support of your arm Yeah, whereas these two aren't
really connected to anything. They're sort of like connected. Yeah,
off to the side, and you will for sure break
your ring and pinky finger. Yeah, but your.
Speaker 2: Thanks our Wolfy protep for the episode. Sure, all right,
we've got next day.
Speaker 3: We wait wait, get We had Justin talking to like
that was my favorite part Justin and was it. Leka
was the other one talking to and Will is just
like hysterically like I've never seen a grown man ball
like that. It was really weird.
Speaker 2: You look at the instant frying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Justin, God bless him, he's trying to help that.
He's saying the most weird ship to this guy.
Speaker 2: You're doing so well, you're pulled through.
Speaker 3: You as a person is worth more than this game.
Come on, dude, Like, I get what you're doing, but
just like, let him be drunk.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 3: You give me, oh those drunk hugs, you know, or
they're just like leaning on each other for support because
they're so drunk. Great.
Speaker 2: Chris says that this reminded me of Vinny the ex
that got Sarah dqued.
Speaker 3: I remember that I pulled down somebody's top or something
and he's top. Yeah, God, I hate that. I know
all this.
Speaker 2: Ship, this is the ship that gets stuck in our heads.
Speaker 3: I know it's that's fucking ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Why do
I know that? Like instantly?
Speaker 2: Oh I know. Yeah, it's it's bad. It's so bad.
Yeah all right, so yeah, next day, the very first
scene is Will sitting on a patio chair al himself
saying that he is hungover and his hand hurts, and.
Speaker 3: He says something too like it's embarrassing last night, but
you just move on and you just go there.
Speaker 1: People bring it up. You just kind of shrug your
shoulders and I'm like.
Speaker 3: Drunk.
Speaker 2: I do have to say I was very happy I
picked Will. I did this like literally two days ago
because I saw a quick like clip of things like,
oh maybe I will, So I went in and switched
one of my players for Will. Very happy I did that.
Speaker 3: Smart, smart, smart. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Next day, uh, Naya, Olivia and Derek are talking. They're
basically talking about the fact that Will was freaking out
the night before, and Nya's like, god, I really wanted
to be able to come into this house and like
hook up with somebody, But none of these dudes have
me wanting them anywhere near me. She says that she's
she feels very virginal in this house and then proceeds
to pull her vibrator out and hug it like it's
the end of time.
Speaker 3: Kiss it, kiss it. Put that in her mouth.
Speaker 2: I mean you wash it, do you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I'm never own a vibrator. I mean to you, I
don't know a vibrator, Carl, What do anyways say? You
mean a Google vibrator? Care for my non existent vibrators?
Speaker 2: That makes me worry about any woman that's with you.
And sex toys, like, always wash all of them. They
all need to be washed. If you have any sex
toys in your house, you need to watch all of them. Now.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not a sex toy guy. It's usually the
woman's sex toys if we're doing sex toy shit. Okay, yeah,
it's a little TMI for it, but there you go.
Just a few perars of bobby socks.
Speaker 2: I have multiple vibrators. Anytime any of them get used,
they immediately get washed.
Speaker 1: I don't have a vibrator.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't know that you guys are crazy man, Well
for you wash your vibrators every time or what? No, no,
not every time.
Speaker 1: I'll have any either we match.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that shit gets washed every time.
Speaker 3: Okay, I do know, did I? Yeah, I've told Okay,
I can't do it on the actual podcast though, never mind.
Speaker 2: Okay after after show, yeah, after show content. If anybody
wants to hear more of this.
Speaker 3: Talk about sex toys.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Tay finds out that Blue has asked for
her in the arena, and she's a little a little
infenited by it, but also but also says that she's
not gonna suck up to anybody and play politics, because
she's gonna, you know, woman up and just take it
if they want to send her in, which I find
it as an odd strategy for someone who doesn't seem
like she's super strong.
Speaker 3: I think this is her way of just saying, like,
I'm not going to go in there and like fight
to stay out of it, you know, like politic to
stay out of it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I think this was just her way of saying, I
guess I'm just gonna go in, you know.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. It still feels weird because like
you have you you're on the UK Alliance, like you
should be able to get your alliance to like pick
somebody else.
Speaker 3: It felt weird to me, and it felt little defeatist too. Yeah,
I will say I was distracted by this scene because
I've said for many years on the show that Rachel
has the best body of anybody on the Challenge ever Tay.
Speaker 2: I think, Uh, Tay's got a nice ass.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, that her and whatever that around whatever she
was wearing there, it wasn't a bikini, but it was
a bikini with like something else on top of it.
I don't know what that. I don't know what that
fucking thing was, but it was hot as shit, and uh,
best body like that beat's Rachel. I thought that was impossible.
Rachel's held that title for like twenty years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tedy's got a nice ass. She turned around with
that thong and crochet cover.
Speaker 3: Up, like that's what you call that crochet cover up?
All right, I'm gonna google that on porn hub. That's right,
google it on porn hub.
Speaker 2: I said it the conversations we have in the pre
and posts.
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was a kink till just now
crocheted cover up Carl and thank you. Now I know,
very specific, very specific kink. Yeah, he imagine the tan
lines and that thing. Jesus Christ, how would you be
like Poka dot Polka dot wolf you google that one.
Speaker 2: It's typically just a covering. You don't like chill it
out in it on the beach.
Speaker 3: Oh you're not.
Speaker 2: No, that's a lady. You wear it to the beach
and then you take it off.
Speaker 3: My lady would never take it off, just move it
to the side.
Speaker 1: Has pale skin, and.
Speaker 3: It's pale. It's pale skin just in the covered up parts.
And it's like Swiss cheese, you know, with the tanline.
Swiss cheese into that. Let's go Carlin, what's up with Carl.
It's like, it's like the time we realized diarrhea got Amanda.
Now it's it's Swiss cheese tan lines against Carlin. Now
we know, Oh my god, cry. It took a minute
to find that weird bit of humor for Carlin. That
we found it. Okay, it's gonna be hard to work
in the future episodes that we'll try.
Speaker 2: The immediate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hot, right, Sez, Carl, get it?
Speaker 4: Together. Sorry, do you want to send me the notes?
I'll finish it off.
Speaker 2: Carln Okay, we're onto the nominations. Nominations, I mean, nothing
really happens here. It ends up being Tay. She gets
picked eleven to one against Adrian.
Speaker 3: But TJ also really awkwardly presents. He's like, you're no
longer picking a safe team. Now you're picking another team
up for nomination or something that's a weird. It's us
a weird. Yeah, and they kick him out. They kick
him out before the nomination started. Thought this was all
very awkward.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Whatever. Elimination, all right, So we have Blue and
Tay going into elimination and welf, you want to tell
us the elimination game?
Speaker 1: Was it ct or? Somebody says it's almost like a
balls in elimination but different. Sure, I guess, I don't know.
People take turns on offensive defense and then they put
laser lights out and you have to get the laser
to touch you. The other person has to stop you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought this is a cool elimination. Your hands
are bound in front of you so you can't it's
not quite as physical, but there's still like pushing and
you know that sort of stuff. I thought this was
a cool elimination.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of I liked the hands bound thing
because I didn't realize until about halfway through the game
that the hand not only were the hands bound, but
they had a bag over their hands. So theoretically you
can't grab with your hands. You can just like you
can grab through the bag, but it's not going to
work as well as if you had like actual hands. Yeah,
because at one point in time, Blues hands get uncovered
and they put the bag back on them.
Speaker 3: But that makes total sense, right, because they don't want
this to be a game where one person just grabs
a hold the other and it's over.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So made sense. The binding made sense, and I thought
it made for a really kind of interesting game here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of like this one. I mean, I'm
excited that we're seeing some physical eliminations come back. I
think this is a good sign of things to come.
I'm hoping that the producers of the show have listened
to the fans saying that the last few seasons with
no like truly physical things has been bullshit. M So
I appreciated that, but yeah, it's best. There are ten beam,
ten laser beams per round and they have to do
best of three. So Tay wins the first round or sorry, yeah,
Tay wins the first round, Blue wins the second round.
Speaker 1: My last couple.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then we get into the third round and
Blue does pretty well on offense to begin.
Speaker 3: With, who does well? Blue? I love it, just jam
it out.
Speaker 2: But then when Tay gets up to being offense, Blue
just fucking dies. Like she every time she was on
defense she seemed to gas, but like this one, she
really gassed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach's not here for social media, but I do
know in the follow up to this there it was
two rounds that we weren't shown, so apparently it really
went Tay win one, Tay one one tie, Blue one
one tie, and then Tay won the last one. So
Blue was more tired than you would assume by the
third and it had been going on longer than the
TV show makes it seem.
Speaker 2: But like I made notes that even in the very
first round, when she was playing off or defense, she
seemed to get like she she would like pushed away,
but if Tay got around her, she would stop running,
and it was just it seemed she seemed to have
gassed out almost immediately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she was clearly like she should have lost here,
like she was not she was the worst competitor. But
it wasn't quite as I don't think she gave up
like it was presented here. I think that was after
a long few rounds and it was clear she wasn't
going to do it, and.
Speaker 1: She just was like forget.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you saying that though, because so Tay wins
and they're at the little you know, the ending ceremony
whatever you want to call it, and TJ says, you
guys both fought really well. I'm really proud of you, Blue,
And I was sitting there thinking, like, Blue quit, Like
she she quit in the last round. What do you
mean you're proud of her? And so I made a
note of it. It was like she quit, Why are
you going so soft on her?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in my head. I was like, man,
TJ's gotten.
Speaker 2: Soft, so soft has gotten soft since he has definitely
gotten soft in the last few years, and I kind
of hate it. I want TJ to be old school,
like you fucking quit. That was some bullshit. You should
have run all the way.
Speaker 4: Through the end.
Speaker 3: Hope to see it never Yep, don't take care.
Speaker 2: I kind of understood it because like, they made it
through three rounds and it wasn't until the very end
of the third round that she blew that she quit.
Speaker 3: And now, yeah, Chris says, Blue quit after Tay beat
Blue's score, So once Blue knews she wasn't gonna win,
she just sort of sat down, gotcha, Which I mean,
I get, like, I get fighting to the end, but
I also get like, once it's over, just like, yeah,
Tait didn't need to keep running around hitting the lasers either,
just get one more than Blue to go be done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I didn't realize. I was watching this
while working, so I didn't realize that she had beat
the score already.
Speaker 3: I actually didn't either, So thank you, Chris.
Speaker 2: That makes a lot more sense. I take back everything
I say about I said about her quitting if it
actually was after she beat her store, because yeah, at
that point in time, you can't do anything more to win.
So yep, yep, yep. The UK Alliance is really happy
that Tay is still there, and that's the end of
the episode. I did have a little note though, so
we initially saw t J flip a coin for whether
it was going to be men's or Women's Day.
Speaker 3: Uh. Last episode the five hundred versus the Man, of course.
Speaker 2: So if we continue on this trajectory, then the hangmail
hangmail will always be a woman. So do we think
that they're going to do another flipping of the coin
next episode to find out if it's going to be
a man or a woman going into emmination?
Speaker 3: Wouldn't Derek be the hangman here?
Speaker 2: No, because Derek and Adrian can now be paired. Adrian
is still the odd man out right now at the end.
Speaker 1: Of this I think.
Speaker 3: Derek is shut up. They're gonna they're gonna choose new
partners again, and somebody will be able to pick Adrian,
but nobody will be able to pick Derek.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they will became.
Speaker 1: It will be enough.
Speaker 2: There will be enough people for it's an even number. Now, oh,
they have an even number of players. They're gonna pick everybody,
and Derek and Adrian are both going to have partners.
Speaker 3: At the end of this episode unless they do it
like a snake right where it's like two women's eliminations.
Speaker 1: In a row or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they either have to do.
Speaker 3: You flip the stupid five hundred.
Speaker 2: I was asking are they going to flip another coin
this next episode or do we think they're going to
continue on with women being the hangnail.
Speaker 3: You and your damn statistics, Carling, I hadn't though about it,
but it seems like they'd have to switch genders otherwise
they could get another It would just get more tilted
if they you know what I mean, like they have
to even it out.
Speaker 2: No, because it what do you mean it would get
more tilted.
Speaker 3: Well, if there's one more woman and then they eliminate
another man and there's two more women, you know what
I mean, Like they just had a women's elimination. If
they have another women's elimination, then there's two more men
than women.
Speaker 2: No, there's not.
Speaker 3: Right now, two women and no men right now.
Speaker 1: At the end of this episode they are even.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if next episode we have a women's elimination,
then we have a man, and then after that elimination,
so we would have a woman.
Speaker 3: So they'd be either coin flip just determines the two episodes.
A coin flip every two episodes.
Speaker 1: Episodes, Okay, they would have to do it, yeah.
Speaker 3: Scott says next week will be a team elimination. Possible
that also possible. Be nice to know the rules, guys,
wouldn't it so we do not to speculate three episodes
into a podcast about the rules of the game.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's why our rules. Head over to
challenge by dot com. Joined the Facebook. Great. You can
also do our Patreon. What do people get on patreoon?
Speaker 3: Tim all right, five books a month. You get access
to pre shows after shows, literally years and years of
kar of Carlin talking about vibrator care and maintenance. Very
very important to care for your vibrators everybody. Also, Wilford
talks about porn hub habits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's totally not Tim uh.
Speaker 3: Actually to the discord, it's very fun. I'll add you
to plex if you want, you can steal the show.
Everybody should steal the show. By the way, don't support
these fucking fascists.
Speaker 2: You guys.
Speaker 1: Watch your version you stole, but then it stopped at
five minutes and so I had to go to my
TV to watch it.
Speaker 3: Sorry bums at Tim, My bad, My bad. Also, we
say your name, so thank you to Elena, Alvin and I, Caroline, Christopher, Cindy, edwardo, Emily, Emily, Greg, Gretchen,
Jackyl and Jamie, Jamie, Julie, Maverick, Patty rolled in, Ryan, Samuel, Sarah,
Scott Shack, shake our smiling Jackson in Oh.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys.
Speaker 1: Do you want to close down on what's going on
in the Fantasy league?
Speaker 2: Carlin, Yeah, so hold on. Just like I was trying
to figure out who had Blue last week.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of us picked Blue. I went
through the.
Speaker 2: Roster, okay, so well, no, because we picked every single
player Wolf we had to run his team, all right.
So on the host league. On the host league, mister
Woolford is still in first place, crushing it will be
crushing it, rushing out, and he lost Blue this weekend.
He is still in first place, so he has three
hundred and sixty four points. Zachary Bananas moved up into
second place with three hundred and fifty seven. Mister Tim
Lawson has third place with three hundred and twenty six,
and I am sucking it up hardcore at fourth place.
Speaker 3: With Distant, Distant fourth. I gotta tell you, distant, Yeah,
you're like falling behind.
Speaker 2: I'm really hoping that my team gives me some fucking
decent points in the next few episodes, because otherwise I'm
gonna be I'm gonna pull in a tim this season.
Speaker 3: There's worse things, Carly, I gotta tell you, man, are
you sure.
Speaker 2: All right? But in the public league, the one that
everybody actually cares about, that you can still join, and
in all reality you could still come in and just
start picking your teams now and still probably do pretty well.
Speaker 3: I legit think like six weeks in you cannot play
and still end up all right. You'd have good players left,
and shit, I really think you'd be that.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: There's time, guys.
Speaker 2: So we have a new first place winner or first
place person. We haven't seen this one before. It's Manifestia
arie'll b I moved up to two places into second.
Bragget so first place has three hundred and four points.
It's a man of second place. By the way, man, okay,
thank you. I'm in second place with two hundred ninety nine,
and Julie's attempted murder is in third place with two
hundred and seventy, and then we've got Zachie Bananas in
fifth place.
Speaker 3: Let's say you gotta say the whole name, Caron.
Speaker 2: Damn it. Zachi'sa goes to eat there, we go there
we go eight for that is fifth place at two
hundred and sixty three. We have released the Epstein files.
Mister Lawson at eighth place with two forty two.
Speaker 3: Let's go release those files. Host Team, our president's a pedophile, everybody.
Speaker 2: Yes he is. Our podcast host team is in eleventh
place with two forty four. And mister Wolford who's.
Speaker 1: Forgotten the prices right.
Speaker 2: He forgot to pick his team last week, so he
is in twenty seventh place with ninety one points. He'll
still come back though, and still come back. And we
still have the needy, greedy Alyssa Elise M and dub
Club CJW. Both of you have still forgotten to pick
the last two weeks, so you are both in last place.
Speaker 3: They're just slow planet. It's a strategy strategy for them.
Speaker 2: Yep, Chris is in third. Chris well then, yep, yeah,
Chris is third. We have Peter, the owner and runner
of Real TV Fantasy is in potential cheater, by the way,
and for why is he a potential cheater because he.
Speaker 3: Could like fucking change all the numbers.
Speaker 2: Peter, My request now is for you to go in
and change all of Tim's numbers to better ones change
his team every week, just just to fun to the
best possible team, because that would be great.
Speaker 3: Please, Peter, I have a nephew named Peter, so we
have a special connection.
Speaker 2: You and I because you have a nephew named peters An.
Speaker 3: Were looking for something, looking for something good?
Speaker 2: Anything, But yeah, so that's where we're at with the
with the league. Yeah, go join the fantasy League because
it makes things a lot of fun. You get to
compete against all of us, and if you win the season,
if you are in first place, then you get to
come and guest host with us. Hopefully our episode zero
does actually make it onto the airwaves because last season's
winner he guest hosted on the on episode zero and
came on that episode, so he's in he's in tenth
place right now. Yeah, he got to guest host on it,
and his his wife Jamie came in on it and
she is in twenty first place.
Speaker 3: It's kind of just like we hung out though, because
those episodes are maybe never going to make it to
the episodes, so we just sort of like hung out.
Speaker 1: For a while the pre show in the after show
either way.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you go here.
Speaker 2: I'm on the pre show and after show, but the
actual episode you may never hear.
Speaker 3: Sorry, guys about body Socks.
Speaker 1: Still stuck at uploading thanks to Zach, like, I can't
actually do anything to get it. So technical support working
on again. Houston's NASA giant groups of people.
Speaker 3: You know, it's very important happened, It's very important you
cover that data. God, it's like the Epstein files. It's
like the most important stuff that we can get in
the country, hidden, just hidden beyond reach. Oh, I saw
deep State, the Deep States got it.
Speaker 2: I take them back. I'm not. I'm gonna save this
for the for the.
Speaker 3: Bobby Sock related related.
Speaker 2: Do we have any social media I know Zach is
in here.
Speaker 3: Well if we, we didn't review those, all right, we
didn't go over the reviews from last year.
Speaker 1: Do that, I guess, So let's do it. I gotta
pull them up.
Speaker 3: That's what she said to you.
Speaker 2: In the chat, all right for Bobby Socks.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, pull up those.
Speaker 1: So we got a couple of comments on Spotify and uh,
some guy who goes under the name Well, I'm assuming
it's a guy because usually women love us, men hate us.
Speaker 3: It's a curse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, women want to be with us men want to
be us. That's right, tim uh is a screen name
is m p H. Killer says, I'm four episodes in, Yeah,
columbitter guy, I'm four episodes in the fact you guys
aren't even mentioning any of the any of THEO Vaughn's
hilarious confessionals. Is sad. Whenever I see a challenge podcast
rewatch of an old season, I always listen because I
think the older stuff is infinitely better than modern. With
that said, you guys aren't very good. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Boring, boring, Yes, I want to be in my life
is boring to a mega trumper.
Speaker 3: Being born, that's cool. I'm not insulted by that, and
was not.
Speaker 2: Actually that funny.
Speaker 1: It's either hilarious nor anything else. Switch Zach replied to
this with I don't remember many funny, many funny moments
from the season. I remember actually thinking that while rewatching it.
I'm like, in my memory, I thought THEO had a
lot more one liners than was funnier.
Speaker 2: I wait to get Zach though.
Speaker 1: Even Zach doesn't think he's funny. Uh And then he
wasn't done there. He's like, I got to comment on
another episode. Oh good, and he said, this guy can't
stop thinking about how hot Casey is as I guessed
on who that was. Meanwhile, she was nineteen years old
at the time. Legal, totally legal, fine with me, but
some people might think it's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you can't appreciate theo because of political views.
Speaker 2: Shake my head, tell me you're a Trumper without telling
me you're a trumper.
Speaker 3: So I got to say, to my credit too, like you,
that's yeah, nineteen is too old for these Trumpers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3: No, it's super like, Listen, I'm forty five, so it
is super weird for me to talk about a nineteen
year old being hot. But to my credit, I was
twenty six years old in my mind, so that's okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I when I heard that, when I saw that, initially,
I was like, but we were all watching this back
in the day, so like back in the day, she
was hot back in the day. Like, I mean, she's
still good looking in her back in the day hot,
but like she's in her like mid to late thirties now,
So totally.
Speaker 3: It's like when I crush on the Christina Ricci. Yeah,
in Adam's family, it's like, yeah, she's she was like fourteen,
but I was like fifteen, So that's fine, that's not weird, right,
we'll be that's okay.
Speaker 1: Sure whatever. Yeah, as long as you're not looking up
on pornhub, you're fine.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not. I mean, I'm Christina Ricci, but
that's okay. I'm not not Christina Riachi from back then.
Christina Ricing now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because she's pale with dark hair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, super hot.
Speaker 1: We should superht.
Speaker 3: Bring up Christina ch porn Hub fourteen Black Black, Black
Snake Moons.
Speaker 4: Yes we should.
Speaker 3: You guys watch Black Stake Moon's good movie movies.
Speaker 1: I think that this episode of Challenge there has been Brian.
