Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome back to an episode of Challenge, a
podcast all about the challenge as always. I'm Brian sitting
in his house, letting his children be delinquent because one
of them has a birthday tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Big O Sweete sitting in her parents.
Speaker 1: Very luxurious and spacious backyard.
Speaker 3: Harlan san Diego with the weed with.
Speaker 1: The coveting tomatoes apparently, and sitting at work excited for
his new job as a nude model.
Speaker 4: A very depressed jacubananas.
Speaker 5: Oh, you very depressed. You didn't bring that up when
I asked you how your week was.
Speaker 1: You'll know why after we get to the sporry spoilers. Everybody,
headever Challenge but dot Com. Join the Facebook group. You
can also join our patreon, which we'll get into later.
News update Carlon doesn't know Tim and zachboth now. Uh.
The season forty one preview episode just went up right
before we started the episode. Finally, Riverside finally got there,
got their multiple teams working on it, and finally got
it workable that I could download it. So love enjoy.
Speaker 2: I love that it's often that a podcast has a
like a lost episode that they can retrieve several weeks later,
I think that, Yeah, and I wonder how it will
sound like in retrospect now that we're four episodes in.
This is like our cast intro where we didn't know
these people. It might be kind of weird to listen
to it now, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You can see how wrong we were exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good, kind of strange.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did Carlin just ha haha the chat room?
Speaker 5: I was. I was ha hahaing to Chris's I didn't
want to bring it up because it's a spoiler for later,
but Chris said that I forgot what the challenges of
what the podcast was about. Yes, Chris, I absolutely from
the pod about because I was completely born away by
the fact that Zack was depressed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was definitely like, Coron, are you not getting this?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Speaker 5: Okay? I am? I am now too. Margarita's deep, and
I am also forty five hundred feet higher than I
normally am in elevation and the wee no, no weed plants.
Speaker 3: It's not a me thing.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not a I'm not weak early.
Speaker 1: Who has notes for this episode?
Speaker 2: Ye, Carlin does. It's an even numbered episode.
Speaker 5: It is all right, Uh we are. Season forty one,
episode four didn't take a note on what the episode
was called, don't really care as we have, which Tim,
you mentioned this a few episodes ago. I really love
that they like immediately get into going the episode and
the meat of the episode and don't like fuck around
with it. I think it's great. So we're immediately starting
out with they are back in the house and everyone
is talking about the fact that Banana's at his little
fucking da tribe down on the stand say or in
elemination or whatever it was, saying that he is the Challenge. Yeah,
and no one is happy about it.
Speaker 2: It's weird because I'm pretty sure he said this on
previous seasons, Zach, can you confirm this.
Speaker 5: I don't think that he has said this in the
way that he said it last episode.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know if he's ever said this directly.
And this might be jumping ahead a little bit to
like social media stuff, but the official Challenge x account
did put out a pole this week in sixty nine
of all voters again, nice Johnny Bananas is the Challenge.
Speaker 1: Well, we also likeded an idiot president, so I wouldn't put.
Speaker 2: A whole lot of faith. Yeah, X loves that type
of person, you know. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The people that are the most not happy about this
are the other vets like Ceti and Leroy and Anissa.
The people who Cet especially who you and Kara, who
you would consider to also be. They may not have
won as many times as Bananas, but they have been
around in the same way that he has. Yeah, they
are not thrilled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will give Banana some credit. I'm gonna play
I'm gonna I'm gonna play your role a little bit here, Zach.
I think Bananas is a little different than somebody like
a Nissa or CT. That Bananas does show up ready
to play every time. He's ready to win. He wants
to go to win, and in that way, I think
that he is representative of sort of the spirit of
the challenge in a lot of these ways that like
CT is not that way. A Nissa's not that way.
Nanny like these people, they're not they show up to
show up.
Speaker 5: So yeah, Anissa should definitely not be. Anissa may have
been here for as many or more than Johnny, but yeah,
she never shows up that way. But Cet, like I,
I don't know, I would argue with that with CT,
CT Kara. I mean, honestly, even Leroy, like all three
of them, they CT and Alas he has definitely had
his dad bod seasons. They may not have won as
many times as Johnny, but like they are known because
of this show. When I think of this show, they
are people that I immediately think of. I think of Wes, Johnny, CT,
Sarah Kara.
Speaker 2: Like, but let's lease, let's let's flip it on that
side though, and say, like, who else makes the challenge
their life more than Johnny Banana's.
Speaker 3: I mean the people that make it their life.
Speaker 5: Johnny Bananas is absolutely the only one who makes it
their life the way that he does. Yeah, but I mean,
in all honesty, when I think of the Challenge, I
think of Wes, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think of any singular person.
But I think if I were to pick think of
a singular person, Bananas would be a singular person in
the person.
Speaker 5: I shouldn't say I only think of Wes like Wes
is It's to me, it's like Wes, CT, Bananas, the Jordan. Yeah,
they all kind of pop in very rapid succession altogether.
Speaker 3: It's not a single person. To me, the challenge is.
Speaker 5: All of them. It's not, it is, it has never been,
will never be a single person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he's the challenge, why did I enjoy the
seasons he took off so much better?
Speaker 4: There is also that because you're like filled with John Ellison.
Speaker 1: Don't.
Speaker 5: The worst pun on the face of the earth. Okay,
So we've got Gabe, Kara and Derek talking. They're talking
about Gabe being the hangnail. Gabe's kinda he's he's a little.
Speaker 3: Unsure about it.
Speaker 5: Cara is telling him, like, dude, you're not in great
standing with anybody. Maybe you should just throw yourself in
because if you throw yourself in, then you'll immediately get
that street cred that you don't have, and you might
earn back the CREWD that.
Speaker 3: You've lost with everybody. So what'd you guys think of this?
Speaker 2: Kara has no CREWD with me, so her, why do
you Why do you have a problem with Azach?
Speaker 6: I just think, like, I don't think you know, if
he volunteered himself and everyone's gonna be like, oh my gosh,
we love Gabe now, like yes, you know, I think
they're could be like, oh my gosh, when stupid rookie, like,
we're still going to keep throwing you in, Like this
isn't gonna change your fate in this game?
Speaker 5: Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that what you think will be?
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, like he's already too easy for a scapegoat,
but I mean, spoiler, you may be a little scary now,
but just volunteering yourself to go in is not going
to earn you any stripes. It's just like, oh, this
dude just made my job easier.
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, I don't think the volunteering does, but the
but the fighting your way back does, right, I mean,
the like the winning of it does. Is that sort
of what she was saying is that, like this is
a path to win it, like just throw yourself in
and win it, or do you know what I mean?
I think that's the implication because if you throw yourself
in and lose, then you're just going home.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree in that just throwing yourself in, like
saying hey, pick me is not enough to make everybody
like reevaluate.
Speaker 3: The way that they think about you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you do also have to follow it up with
a win, and you have to follow it up with
a really fucking good win, because if you just kind
of win by like a technicality, it's not gonna No
one's gonna do it. They're gonna look in and be like, okay,
but you only barely won, absolutely throwing you next time.
Speaker 2: Like how America won right against NYA.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, well done, dude. At the same time, I
also look at it like, do not ever, except for
the seasons where you had to go into elimination in
order to to the final those seasons accepted for regular season,
do not ever put your name up for elimination.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, I agree, because I think once you do
it once, like people are always like, who can I throw?
Speaker 4: And that's not gonna be mad.
Speaker 6: They're like, oh, you know, Gabe volunteered, Like he's okay
with going to eliminations.
Speaker 4: It's I can throw him again. He's not gonna be mad.
Speaker 2: At me, right, And I mean we see that in
this episode. Yeah, Path of Least Resistance yep.
Speaker 5: So then we go to CT and Ben are talking
and CT tells Ben that Adrian has already already named
their team. It's the only time we hear about this,
but it's still funny. She names their team the Chubsters
and CT is big and beefie, and he says she's
something like bad Bobby. That just it made me laugh. Yeah,
but both he and Ben are talking about how happy
they are with their partners at that point in time.
Speaker 2: Ye hear him talk about their partners as if they're
they're forever partners. Do you guys feel weird? Yeah, like,
I don't know they're talking about them because we.
Speaker 5: Know that they're only your partners for like a day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it seems like they should be saying stuff like, oh,
I'm excited to do this one thing with her, you
know what I mean, But not like I don't know.
Speaker 5: But I mean spoilers this this episode is the last
episode where they like they have now gone through all
of the other side so people can start repicking people
that they have picked before. That's not really that much
spoil whatever. Oh, we also get Ben talking about CT,
and the producers give Ben a sportscaster filter so he
looks like he's wearing the headset and something talking about CT.
And they've got some clips of CT from back in
the day playing on the screen because he's like, Cut's
a fucking badass, but he's also like a relatively normal
guy to talk to in the house, which I could
totally see that of him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like Ben. I hate this I hate
this guy.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, no, no, it drove me nuts. I appreciated
that the producers trolled him with the with sportscaster filter,
but yeah, he's he's gonna drive me insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like the house kind of likes him,
but his confessionals he's doing the sportscaster voice and drive
me insane. He just seems so inauthentic. I don't like
this guy, wolfee Zach anything about anything said about this guy.
Speaker 6: I still felt the same way as last time, where
it's like most of the time I don't even remember
he's in the house, so he doesn't bother me.
Speaker 4: I just he's irrelevant to me.
Speaker 2: Chat room, What anythink about Ben?
Speaker 6: I feel like most weeks and our fancy I put
him down as who's going home just because I'm like,
I don't even know who this guy is, so he's
a good one to go home.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I put him down for going home
this week. It was wrong there.
Speaker 3: We even go to Turbo.
Speaker 5: Uh. Turbo says that he now lives in lah. He
loves his country, but he now lives in LA and
that he really wants to be an action star. And
we all got all kinds of little clips of him
doing things in l A.
Speaker 2: I love this.
Speaker 5: I love this.
Speaker 3: I mean, Turbo's English has gotten so much better in
the last few years.
Speaker 1: Uh, has it? Because we're going to see Johnny give
him some few phrases to break out spoilers.
Speaker 5: I mean it has, but it also has it. Yeah,
it's it's definitely gotten better. But we also go into
him and Bananas sitting next to the pool.
Speaker 2: Wait, I want to talk about more of him as
an action star. Oh, okay, Wolfe. Where would he rank
in terms of other foreign action stars in America? We've
got Van Dam we got Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1: Well, considering I've never seen a single one of his
movie es. Uh not very good?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: In a fight of him versus Steven Sagall, who wins.
Speaker 5: Isn't it? Yeah? Stephen Sagall is absolutely a piece of ship.
He's also not foreign.
Speaker 2: He's Russian now.
Speaker 3: Now, but he is from the US.
Speaker 1: We lost Carlin, Dude.
Speaker 2: The Carlin Freeze frames are like frozen. The best fucking
parts that's great, It's great, just.
Speaker 1: Like that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about what about him versus like a nineties
era Cigal? Like an understiege.
Speaker 1: Cigal's a joke and a piece of garbage all around,
Like Turbo would destroy him. Turbo would destroy him. He
would destroy Van Dam for sure.
Speaker 7: Van Dam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Turbo was a fucking street legit street fighter. Yeah,
he didn't play one in a movie.
Speaker 2: What about what about eighties Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1: I still think Turbo would win because I don't think Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger's got I can pose really good muscles. Not I'm
gonna fight really good muscles.
Speaker 2: Eighties Dolph lungerin, he'd probably be Dolf right, there we go.
Speaker 1: Dolph London is also like a biochemist, so.
Speaker 2: He's very smart guy. Yeah, we learned this episode Turbo
is also very smart. Sure, Carl Carly, she lost.
Speaker 1: She's gone, Since she's gone. I did pick up a
couple Dolph London movies recently.
Speaker 2: Oh what do you get?
Speaker 1: Command performance? So he is like he's a drummer in
a rock band and the arena gets taken over by
terrorists and you have to kill them all. I mean,
how are you not watching that classic. It's a classic. Yeah,
it's weird.
Speaker 2: How many foreign action stars we have here? Yeah, Jet
Lee's one, j Jackie Chan. Who else we got?
Speaker 1: Carl Bruce Lee, But you know it was fun.
Speaker 2: Jason.
Speaker 1: Carl's just Jason Stathem.
Speaker 2: Jason Statham. It's a good one man knocking them out here.
Speaker 1: I think Turbo would beat all of them because, like
I said, Turbo is a legit street fighter. Yeah, it's
a street fight for money. Now, so fuck everybody.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Carlyn, what the fact, dude? Tell us
what happens next? He goes on this episode, all right, Johnny.
Speaker 1: This this is when Johnny and Turbo are sitting by the
pool side and Johnny starts giving him like all these
phrases like skies out, thighs out, and then he does
sons out, buns out, and then he does rock out
with your cockout and then modifies it and it's like
with the one and it would.
Speaker 2: Be uh, jam out with your clam jam out with.
Speaker 1: Your clam out. Yeah, I forgot the first word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so clam is not I hate that word. I
hate that word for that for the part.
Speaker 3: Of especially in religion.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean, no, if you're just gotting a clam,
that's obviously that's the word you'd use, not for the part,
not for a part of a no.
Speaker 5: Sorry, Yeah, I was trying my because I'm at my
parents' house. My dog was freaking out because the neighbor's
dog was freaking out, and I was trying to not
let that ruin the pod.
Speaker 1: We're at the elimination though, So who goes unprofessional karling? Unprofessional?
Speaker 5: I know, super unprofessional because we get paid millions and
millions of dollars to be here.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is Turbo writes all these down a
little notebook, so I'm just expecting him to see him
like at a beach and he's like, no, no, this
isn't pull out a little notebook. Uh, suns out, buns
out right, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Case says Turbo made a song about it. I
did see that, then I didn't listen to it.
Speaker 6: I was gonna bring that up in suson, but yes,
Turbo followed up his number one hit of.
Speaker 4: Whind Me Dine Me. Now he has sons out, guns.
Speaker 2: Out, guns out or buns out.
Speaker 5: I mean sounds out, buns out, but it starts out
sounds out, guns out, like the actual the actual saying
sounds out, guns out. But we also get a quick
uh oh, well did you talk about I didn't hear,
but uh, do you talk about the fact that CT.
Speaker 3: Helps Johnny?
Speaker 5: So like he pulls his his pants up, that's what's this?
And Turbo says sounds out or Sky's out, fives out,
and then CT stands up up and turns his ass
towards them and has his shorts up as a thong
because what's this and everybody starts laughing. His sons out
lines out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Before that, Turbo is just like, are these bad words?
Is this going to get me slapped?
Speaker 2: I like that too, that because he I think Turbo
tends to take things like disrespectful, and I think that's
what he was asking, like, are you disrespecting me, Johnny?
Because I think he's missed on some of that before
on some of these other seasons.
Speaker 5: You know, it's also because like the you Cannot Copy
My Walk season, it was he was saying like that
ship was being said, thank you, that ship was being
said as a way to make fun of him, and
he didn't understand it, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's why he's saying. I think that's
why he's sort of like, is this okay? Like I
think that's what he's I think he's feeling it out
a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's afraid to say it because
he's worried he's going to get in trouble if he
says that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe that's why he's walking. He's reading it to
so that he can take it back to his friends.
But like so if I say these things in front
of other people, I can be slapped, might be jail.
Am I going to be you know, yelled at?
Speaker 2: Because Turbo is great?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Knowing the people in the challenge house, I'm sure in
the past someone has probably fed Turbo inappropriate things to repeat,
so I would not be shocked if he's learned lesson
from the past.
Speaker 2: I think that's what's happening here.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, Turbo's there. He's having fun, Like this is the
Turbo we need. He's there, he's having fun, he's not
taking it too seriously. I'm really enjoying this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Turbo this year so far has been fun Turbo.
With four episodes in that might change, but he's been
fun Turbo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just lost Bye sack.
Speaker 5: All right. We do also get Turbo real quick saying
that everybody's talking about their partners before we go into
the challenge, and Turbo says that his issue with Sydney
is that Sydney isn't humble and just yeah, struck me
as funny coming from term, but it's also not untrue. Yeah,
we're onto the challenge, all right. This challenge is called
Amazed Wolfy you wanna give us the quick rundown two heats.
Speaker 1: There's puzzles hidden within a maze made out of shipping contains,
and the further the puzzles are away, the easier they are.
And then whoever gets done the fastest wins, and whoever
comes in last automatically goes into elimination.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 1: And it's all which I do not know how to do.
So I felt stupid this entirely.
Speaker 5: I love. Yes, Yes, there's also there is a forty
five minute time limit that I'm sure Zach will talk
about this at some point time after during the social
media stuff. But the forty five minute time let, from
our understanding, is not announced.
Speaker 3: There's no like blaring alarm saying hey, you've.
Speaker 5: Got two minutes, or anything like that, so they have
forty five minutes to run out there and finish their puzzle,
and the if a team does not finish their puzzle.
If there are teams who do not finish their puzzle,
the producers will count how many right answers they have
and the team with the least number of right answers
is the team that will go in. So Heat one
is CT and Adrian who get to a medium puzzle,
Derek and Izzy who go to an easy puzzle. Justin
and Avive go to a medium, Leroy and Tay get
a hard, Ashley and Leo getting easy, Anissa and Will
get a they get an easy, Livia and Jeremy get
a hard. Yeah, so there are seven teams in the
first heat. All seven teams finish. This being that Leroy
was part of those seven. I was floored.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when LeRoi got the hard puzzle and he it
went to a confessional where he said like, yeah, I
wasn't looking for easy meatium hard, I just picked one.
I sort of thought he's not gonna do it then,
because then it showed him a riving at a heart
and it's like he's not gonna be able to and
who is his partner. His partner is also Okay, we
don't know what. She seems stupid, she seems not very smart.
Speaker 5: Yeah she she does seem not very smart. But yeah,
I mean they get to a puzzle and they actually
do pretty decently. I was very surprised by that. So
we've got uh, CT and Adrian. Adrian when she gets
to a Sudoku puzzle, when they find out that sudoku
is what they are doing, she is so excited because
apparently she does all the time, like when she's on
the treadmill, when she's at home.
Speaker 3: She is stoked.
Speaker 5: And CT is the puzzle master, not surprised that he's
gonna do well.
Speaker 2: Derek, he let her kind of lead here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's multiple times where he called her rain man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is that's rare for CT, especially to puzzle.
He's just sort of like, tell me what it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So it sounds like she did really really well
with what she was doing. Yeah, Derek Chavez an izzy, Uh,
they gotten easy. Like I said, they started out like
is he seems pretty frustrated with Derek because Derek kind
of he seems to be really frantic with how he
does sku and not like methodical and Izzy seems like
she's a bit more methodical with how she does them,
so their strategies did not align. We've got Justin and Aviev.
Justin makes the This is one of the scenes that
you see in the preview for this episode if anybody
is part of the you know, instagrams or anything like that.
Justin has done Sudoku like once or twice, but he
stopped doing sudoku because it hurt his brain so much,
and he has been failing math since the fourth grade.
This isn't really math.
Speaker 2: But it's always weird to me when somebody that I
think is gonna be good at puzzles ends up being bad.
And I would have assumed he'd be good. He just
seems smart. He seems like one of these puzzle guys.
So yeah, this was that was I think maybe my
biggest surprise here. Also, how yes surprise Justin.
Speaker 5: Justin is very much like this is not my game.
Speaker 3: It was one banking on Aviv.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: So we've had Lero and Tay.
Speaker 2: They would be better at this too, by the.
Speaker 5: Way, same I thought that she would too. We have
Actually and Leo. They get an easy puzzle. Actually is
super excited about it being sudoku. Leo apparently learned how
to do sudoku the day before. Yeah, but he keeps
like telling it, trying to like give her pointers, and
they both seem to be getting really frustrated with each
other the entire game, which is just.
Speaker 2: I blame Ashley for these communication issues. I know she's one,
Like she's Leo's there to play, like you can't just
tell him to shut up, like he's.
Speaker 3: There well and actually so good at communicating.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: She also I did love this. At one point in
time in a confessional, she said, like Leo needs to
calm the fuck down or I'm going to get all
smashly on him. Yeah, which made me really happy.
Speaker 2: But Leo was calm. Yeah, but he was very calm,
and he was trying to help. He wasn't like fucking around.
He was trying to be helpful. Yes, And it was weird.
Speaker 5: It was weird.
Speaker 3: It was entirely Ashley. So we've got a Nissa and Will.
Speaker 5: They have a lot of trouble finding their puzzle to
begin with, Like it looks like it takes them a
little longer than everybody else, but like it also takes
them quite a bit longer to finish an easy puzzle
than I would have expected Anissa to take.
Speaker 3: It's very strange.
Speaker 2: That's what surprised me too. Yes, easy puzzle Anissa, and
she sucks with this too.
Speaker 5: Yep. Olivia and Jeremy like so they get that they
get a hard which means that they get a puzzle
that's like right inside the it's not very far inside
the maze, but they they seem to struggle a little bit. Wait,
there's not much about them. Ultimately we have in the
first heat, we have CT and Adrian and Jeremy and
Olivia finish at what it looks like to us basically
the exact same time. Yeah, but CT and Adrian, because
they have a medium versus the hard, they seem to
be a little bit farther into the maze. So it's
just a foot race.
Speaker 2: I love it and I love this too.
Speaker 5: And I loved this because Jeremy and Olivia. Olivia was
banking on Jeremy because he is an amazing race competitor
on knowing his directions, and he fucks up.
Speaker 3: You could have also figured this out.
Speaker 5: But he sucks up on the directions getting back to
the to the start spot and.
Speaker 2: C and Olivia extremely minor fuck up. It wasn't like
he went way off course and he turned around. It
was like he took a slightly wrong turn in the
wrong direction. Yeah, it was five seconds or least probably.
Speaker 5: Yes, But so ultimately it's a foot race and CT
and uh Adrian are just far enough ahead that literally
they crossed the finish line and within two seconds actual
two seconds, not challenge two seconds, actual two seconds. Yet
them at the.
Speaker 2: Same time as you saw at the time the same career.
Speaker 5: Both teams running at the same time. It's not a oh,
this is a two seconds change, real two seconds.
Speaker 2: And I gotta say, like, this challenge is why I
like the challenge. When it's you can you feel like
you're in it, Like it's a small team. It doesn't
need all these explosions in these big scenes. It's amaze.
But like you know, you've looked down the hall and
see other people running and like a drone shot of
the arrows, it's like, this is what we need. I
can sort of visualize it. I see where things are.
Speaker 1: You don't need a car jumping over jump with a
puzzle on the bottom of it.
Speaker 2: No, no, because that's nothing. That's nothing. It does nothing
for me. This is like this felt intense, you know.
I think it was the next seat actually, but there
was people racing against each other and you could sort
of they looked across and you could see another team
race across the thing. It's like, that's cool. I like that.
Speaker 3: No, I agree with that. Like even though it was like.
Speaker 5: No one wants to watch people do sudoku because it's
a numbers game. But I actually really liked this this
challenge because it wasn't just sudoku.
Speaker 3: It was amaze. It was a foot race, like there
was there were stakes in this.
Speaker 5: I enjoyed it was it. Uh kay.
Speaker 3: In the chat room says Carlin, are you still crushing
on you?
Speaker 5: Ar? I mean, I mean, yeah, he's still hot. Not
gonna lie anyway. We've got yeah, so Citian and Olivia.
But in the first heat, everyone finishes. All seven teams
finish their puzzles. They all cross the finish line within
the forty five minutes. Heat two we have Bananas and
Leka get a medium puzzle, Turbo and Sydney getting easy, Sara,
Cedric and Kara getting easy, Nanny and Jake get a hard,
Derek and d get a hard, Mikayla and Ben getting easy,
and THEO and America are running around for like twelve
or thirteen twelve or thirteen minutes into this challenge. They
are still running through the maze and they finally finally
get to a medium, and America is pissed because THEO
is a is a formal Olympian, former track Olympia at
that and he's still like he was gassed. He's so gassed.
But yeah, so we've got uh, Derek and Bananas and Leka.
They seem like they're doing pretty well. Then they pull
They finally get to a spot where things they've got
like two or three spots open and things are not
going right, so they wipe their entire board. We've got
Turbo and Sydney. Turbo has no idea what Sidoku is,
and Sydney's like, oh, we got this, We're fine. Uh
Kara and Cedric. Cedric is really excited about this, but
he also does not seem to be able to follow
up the fact that he's really excited about Sidoku. They
don't seem to He's not great on it. And she
actually gives him a few pointers, which I found funny
because Cara is awful at puzzles. Nanny and Jake and
Dee and Derek are both the blind leading the blind.
Speaker 3: They have no idea what this puzzle is.
Speaker 5: They don't know how to do sudoku. All all of
them are awful.
Speaker 1: Nanny says that Casey tried to show her how to
do sudoku and she should have paid more attention.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Uh, We've got Mikayla and Ben who get to their
easy puzzle and both of them are like fuck, yeah,
I got this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Mikayla is Mikayla is so smart.
Speaker 2: She's the best, the so smart. Yeah, she's the best.
Speaker 5: I do really like her and I love her dry humor.
I love I love how dry that woman is. Yeah,
CEO in America. They just take her to get to
their puzzle.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: So, ultimately, like this this round, this heat is not
as exciting as the first heat, but we do we
do get Mikayla and Ben and oh that's not hear
me and Olivia who was it? It was? Turbo and
Sydney finish their puzzles at basically the exact same time.
But ultimately we've got Mikayla and Ben finished their get
across the finish line. Firstly looks like they're probably like
a minute and a half behind. And in this round,
ultimately we have Bananas and Leca, Kara and Cedric Theo
and America and Nanny and Jake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of shocking. Not here for social media stuff,
So I'll just say this now. Apparently they shot these
two heats in the reverse order, so what we saw
as Heat one was heat too at and vice person.
I don't know if that changes anything, but it is
weird that so many people timed out on one heat
and nobody turned on the second one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was really surprised in my Fantasy league.
Speaker 5: Oh really, I haven't actually looked at Fantasy yet.
Speaker 2: What so, yes, who's number one?
Speaker 5: So I mentioned I mentioned a minute ago that Bananas
and Leca wiped their board. Unfortunately, like I said a
little while ago, because the announcers didn't announce like, hey
you have a two minute warning, it's almost forty five
minutes that will come into play in the social media.
But Bananas and Leca wipe their board completely, like within
thirty seconds of time being called. So Bananas and Leca
immediately like they already know, we have no right answers
because we have nothing on our board, we're going into elimination.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say I liked Leka. At some point
she said something like, you know, Bananas wants to wipe
the board. I don't think that's a great idea, but
it is men's elimination, so I'm gonna kind of let
him lead and make this call.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I do like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we need to see more of that
on the challenge. Really, it's like, you know, Bananas had
more to lose, let him do this, you know, and
like a like a get screwed by being the hangaril.
Speaker 1: But you know, I like that when Johnny says that, like, oh,
I bet we're gonna lose because we wipe the board,
and she looks at him like are you serious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I do think like to give Banana some credit.
He's played this game a lot, and it does seem
weird that they didn't give it like a warning or
like you said, Carlin, not even like warning that they
were going to have a time limit at all.
Speaker 5: It is it is a little strange.
Speaker 3: I will I will give him that.
Speaker 1: Somebody wants a little All's fair loved.
Speaker 2: Warren challenges, Well, there is also that Yeah, and he
didn't bitch about it on the on the show that
we saw anyway.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like I will give him, it is a
little a very little strange they get didn't give a
like a two or a five minute warning. But at
the same time, we don't really know if they ever
have always given that few minute warning. Yeah, it doesn't
really matter. Yeah, so we have losers or Banana and Leca,
like I said, because they wiped their entire board winners.
Oh we also sorry. Really quickly, we get a quick
talking head from Leroy, and le Roy says that he
doesn't think that he has ever seen bananas get last
in all of his years. O.
Speaker 3: Tim has taken his I was trying.
Speaker 2: I got to take a piss. I'll be her back. Okay,
you're right.
Speaker 5: So I'm a little upset that the Zachie Bananas is
in here and Tim is walking away when I'm about
to say this. So Leroy says that he doesn't think
that bananas has ever gotten last. And I had to
look this up.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, because the chat room wanted fact checked.
Speaker 5: Yes, so I fact checked it because I found this
to be bullshit. And Kay is absolutely correct. In the
chat Room. Uh, the only time that and I will
give I will give Johnny this. The only time that
Johnny has gotten last and immediately gone into elimination is
his first season. Oh sorry, no, it's not the I
take it back, it's not his only day. Hold on,
hold on, I've got it. He's done this three times.
So oh let's see. I had to ask chat GPT,
so fact check me if I'm wrong. So there have
been three times where he has gotten it, where he
has gotten last and gone into elimination. His very first season,
on his very first episode, so on the Duel, he
got last and immediately went into elimination. On Battle of
the X's in twenty twelve with Camilla, they got last
on one of the episodes and immediately went into and
went into elimination. And then on free Agents, Oh no,
maybe not, it says on later seasons like free Agents
until the Madness, he also ended up in or near
the last and went. But anyway, the big One, the
big One.
Speaker 1: Kay thinks the Gauntlet was one of them.
Speaker 5: It might be the Gauntlet they like I said, chet
JPT like it was telling me wrong things, So it
might be the Gauntlet. Whatever Johnny's very first season that
he was ever in, he immediately very first season, very
first episode, he got last in that episode and immediately
went into elimination. So Leroy is wrong in that. And
there have been a few seasons where he has also
gotten last in a There have been two or three
other seasons where he's gotten lest in a Daily and
immediately gone in. But most of the seasons that Johnny
has been in, they haven't had this last place immediately
goes in, which I think he's dumb, but whatever. So
then winners of the Daily this this week.
Speaker 3: Were Mikayla and Ben.
Speaker 5: They from the sounds of things, probably only barely the
CT and Adrian out, but they did.
Speaker 3: So Michayla and Ben win and we are onto club
Night and.
Speaker 5: Oh can't fucking It starts out with Bananas talking about
how there are only two people in the world that
are impossible to beat, Father Time and Johnny Bananas. But
Johnny Banana's record in a in elimination prior to this
episode was fifteen wins to fourteen losses.
Speaker 2: Oh you looked it up, car receipt.
Speaker 5: I had to fact check because I didn't believe like
ninety ninety for twenty percent of the ship that was
being set in this episode.
Speaker 1: Something new that people say, that's for a while.
Speaker 5: But Johnny saying that he was one of the two
people that are impossible to be was just bullshit. Like,
don't get me wrong, He's got he's got a great
record with daily challenges, He's got a great record with
overall challenges. But this is the one thing that I
really loved so I when I asked Chad Gpt, has
Johnny Bananas ever gotten last place in a daily challenge?
The thing that I really loved about it was the
last few sentences. He's constantly He's not consistently in the bottom,
but Banana's is very human in that way. He has
some disastrous daily showings.
Speaker 3: It's all.
Speaker 5: It's part of the reason why he leans in heavily
to his strategy, politics and timing. Like he he is
so good at his political game that that's what carries
him through all of these challenge. I mean, his his
elimination game is fucking awful. It has always been awful.
They were like there was a stretch of like seven
or eight seasons that he was in that he was
within the first like two or after he threw in
after he took the money from Sarah. The next like
five or six seasons he was in, he was in
elimination within the first like three episodes and then lost
every single one of them. Was a curse for a reason.
Yep yep, I mean barely.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But no, Johnny thinking that he is God's gift to
the Challenge is just such a such a bullshit but
all whatever. There, So we're because we're in the in
the club, lots of people still talking about the I
am I Am the Challenge thing. We've got Leo, who
makes a good point of like people in sports who
are really good at whatever game they play don't have
to claim that they are really good at that game.
You just know, like Lebron James doesn't have to claim
that he's really good at basketball, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those sports you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree that this. This also feels like
Hayten because like bananas is a really But at the.
Speaker 5: Same time, m do not come on Johnny's side, you.
Speaker 2: Know, because who is who's this? Cedric is saying this
ship No Leo was saying lia All right, Leo, Leo's
nothing either, So like, who the fuck are you.
Speaker 3: Leo isn't anything, you know, It's like, what the.
Speaker 2: So he's talking to Banana, so I'm gonna listen to him.
I don't know, He's just another guy. He's nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, true, but still a man yea, yeah, but still
all right?
Speaker 2: Good yep.
Speaker 5: Also, why the funck was Ben sitting in the bar
in a sleeveless turtleneck?
Speaker 1: Dude, that's awesome.
Speaker 5: It was the most corded shirt ever.
Speaker 2: Okay shirt, I gotta be anest. I didn't recognize this
as it was on, but I see people online talking
about it. I didn't. I didn't even notice. Did you
notice it? Wolfe?
Speaker 1: Yes? And I'll tell you immediately. I'm bombed with that
Zach is not here because he's the only other person
on the show that we'll get this. Christian Cage wrestles
in this sleeveless turtleneck right now in aw and it's amazing.
Speaker 2: So that.
Speaker 1: He's I mean, lady Christian, that's great.
Speaker 2: And you know, also, I gotta say, if people posted
screenshots on the MTV Challenge subreddit, we're making fun of
his arms. His arms look pretty big. Actually they're just
normal big instead of like challenger big.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, his body looks like a normal body.
He just looks ridiculous in a sleepless turtleneck. I don't
care who it is if you're in a sleeveless turtlet
I mean, granted, I okay, I should retract everything that
I just said, because when I went to Peoria for
the first challenge to meet up, I absolutely was wearing
a sleeveless white turtle neck.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't remember that either. Well, Carlyn, take it
back and go and marry back. What I said, go
forth and marry Ben.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't want to marry Ben.
Speaker 2: Walking down the aisle carling San Diego wearing a white
wedding dress. No, pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just sent a gift of the wrestler and
the sleeveless turtle neck to the group chat A right.
Speaker 5: Apparently, apparently things frozen Zach. I asked Zach where the
fuck did he go? And he says it kicked me off.
I don't know if you guys saw the chat. I
told you all. It froze from me.
Speaker 1: I did not know.
Speaker 5: I didn't see that, Sorry, dude, didn't it. So we've
got MICHAELA and Ben kind of talking to each other,
Ben seems to feel like he's being manipulated by Mikayla. I.
I mean, I can understand why he feels that way,
but at the same time, I don't really know that
she's necessarily manipulating him.
Speaker 3: I feel like she's playing like a legit game.
Speaker 5: She wants to know who who she can throw in,
who they can throw in, who's not a rookie, because
she wants to try and kind of start getting out
some of the vets, because they need to if they
if anyone has a real chance in this game, they
need to get some of the bigger vets out. And yeah,
it's I also Mikayla's confessionals in this like five minute
time span, we're so fucking good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: She starts it off with a lot of the rooks
rookies play with their heart, not with their head, and
follows that up almost immediately with many people play this game,
or many of the people playing this game either have
a lack of brain cells or refuse to use them. Yeah,
and I mean, so that she's saying in her her
confessionals is just so good.
Speaker 2: Yes, I love MICHAELA. I love Mikayla. Chris also in
the chat, Room says that she's sort of is manipulating
a Ben. I don't think she is at all, but
I do think she's being a little confusing because she
is also not saying a name. I agree with that.
I think that's where the thing, because I think michaela
is sort of on a fact finding mission. She's she's
feeling people out a lot, like a lot of these
conversations are sort of like, who would you throw in
if you could? What's up, Zachy?
Speaker 5: Hello?
Speaker 2: So yeah, she's sort of is feeling out the situation,
but she's also not saying a name, and that I
think that makes men feel weird because he's like, she's
trying to get me to like reveal something to her,
Whereas I think what she's really trying to do is say, like,
what vet do you want to throw in? And I'll
see if I can help you do it. I think
is what she's really going to say.
Speaker 5: She's trying to say it without actually saying it. And no,
I agree with that.
Speaker 1: Zach, you missed it. We were talking about Ben wearing
Christian Cage's turtleneck to the bar.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's one why you send me that photo. I
didn't realize the turtleneck.
Speaker 2: He looks better than bended.
Speaker 1: And that's you missed it.
Speaker 2: Those arms like way better.
Speaker 5: This is a new cocktail, all right, Hey me too good.
Speaker 2: I sensed the slur tonight here on your way.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is this is this is drink number
three all right at altitude. So I'm gonna feel like
ship tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be growing. I'll still watch wrestling fu you
Goose Force and watch whatever I want. Damn it, I
don't want to people are dumb, all.
Speaker 5: Right, you want so the next the next few scenes
are basically just Michaela and Ben talking to each other,
talking to other people, but it's a lot of just
them trying to figure out who they need to throw
in in the nominations.
Speaker 2: Well, the conversations are a little weird, I gotta be honest.
Speaker 5: They're a little are.
Speaker 2: Because nobody is saying names Michaela. Even MICHAELA is sort
of talking in these weird, sort of ambiguous ways she is.
Speaker 5: But honestly, I didn't think that it was that out
of the norm from like any other nomination like head
partner conversation. I think it's just the first time that
Ben has been in this kind of situation and he
doesn't know how to handle it and.
Speaker 3: He's he's a rookie.
Speaker 5: I don't know, it just it it.
Speaker 3: Didn't feel that abnormal to me.
Speaker 5: And maybe it's just because all of the Vets kind
of do the same kind of thing when they have
a rookie partner and this is the first time that
it's another first time, but this is one of the
times that it's really kind of being called out by someone.
Because he's a sportscaster, he calls it out even more
than most people do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't Chris says that Michaela trying to get
information out of Ben and Cedric without being willing to
give them information as manipulative. I don't know if Michaela
has much information. This seems to me to be like
I got the impression she was trying to Rea to
like extend an olive branch to a lot of these
rookies and say, like, what can we do because Michaela's
not really.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I don't feel like she was
trying to be manipulative. I feel like she was trying
to kind of understand where most.
Speaker 3: Of the house was currently at.
Speaker 5: Totally think if they were wanting to send Gabe in,
or if she, if she and Ben put someone else up,
if they would actually vote for the other person over Gabe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a lot of that. I think
it's sort of as like, Gabe looks like the easy one,
but we're in a power position. Can we make another move.
It's like a fact finding, feeling out mission that That
was sort of my my impression here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can totally understand how Ben would feel like
he's being manipulated. But the next day, so we're back
in the house the next morning, we get a talking
ahead from Ben because he and mackay we kind of
get flashbacks from he and Michayla's conversation and he basically
it's he and Mikayla have a conversation. Mikayla's kind of
she does the thing that a lot of the partners
do when it's the opposite genders, like day she kind
of sais he She's like, Okay, look like today's not
going to affect me, it's going to affect you. So
you make the decision because I'm a woman and it's
a man's day. Yeah, it's going to affect you immediately.
It's not going to affect me, and he kind of
feels he's he kind of feels some kind of way
about it, and I feel like he's a little overreacting
because this is something that happens all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and she said in a confessional too, I
don't think she was totally honest with Ben during this conversation.
I think she was honest in her confessional where she
said something like I tried to see if I could
get something to happen. I couldn't, So fuck it, We'll
go Gabe like yeah, And so that's that is sort
of it. And I wish that she would have said
that to Ben.
Speaker 5: To Ben, yeah, yeah, My notes are it's an easy
out for her. It's a medn'sday. He's directly affected. She
isn't the house, she says in her confessional. The house
has already decided on Gabe. Yeah, so Ben just needs
to pick who he would potentially throw in in whatever way,
whether it's a safe person or whatever. She wants to
keep her hands clean, so she's putting it all on
Gad or all on Ben. I don't think this is
a bad strategy.
Speaker 3: On her part.
Speaker 5: If she can do it, then fucking go for it, girl,
Like keep her hands clean, that's a great way to
do it.
Speaker 2: I'm not even sure if it's keeping her hands clean.
I think she was. I think she was saying like, hey,
I'm willing to make a big move with you Ben,
and Ben said I don't really want to, and so
she's just saying like, well, okay, then we won't. Yeah,
that seems that seems to be sort of like what
altimate how how it ended up? Kind of panting to me.
Speaker 5: Yep, so we are, we are in nominations. My name bitch.
So TJ says, you know, Mchaelen, Ben, who do you
guys want to put up? And Mikayla's stays silent.
Speaker 3: Ben goes on this.
Speaker 5: Whole diatribe about how well the whole house has kind
of already decided who they want to go in because
we've got this guy who has not only shot himself
in the foot but emptied the Magane magazine into his lege.
He did not need to say this, that waste, oh
God overpracticingly.
Speaker 2: So it was so it was a fame cringe, and.
Speaker 5: Being that he's an American talking about an American, we
have fucking school shootings every other goddamn day.
Speaker 3: You did not need to say this petaste.
Speaker 8: But whatever, political Carlyn, Oh sorry.
Speaker 5: It's not like everybody doesn't already know which way. Basically
all of us lean anyway.
Speaker 2: Whatever. Pretty yes, we're all very subtle.
Speaker 5: But so Ben ultimately says, you know, look, I'm gonna
pick like we as a team are going to pick
a team that we know is protected because we already
know who everybody's going to pick. They pick Derek Chavez
and Izzy because Derek Chavaz has Olivia, he has a
viv he has I think he has Ashley. He's got
like four or five women all behind him who are
not going to pick him. So it's an easy it's
an easy let's throw out a name. We know you're
not gonna get picked. We're gonna go for Gabe instead.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hate this though, I hate this whole thing.
I hate all of this.
Speaker 3: I hate this too, but I also kind of love this,
but I also.
Speaker 5: Really hate this.
Speaker 2: What do you love about this?
Speaker 5: So I love this in the way like I love
this in the Avery picking Leroy as her burn vote way,
because this could It doesn't, but it could potentially commpletely backfire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it backfired, I would like it. But obviously, yeah,
that's not what happened.
Speaker 5: But we do get a talking head from Olivia and
she makes a really good point of you do not
want to ever be that team that someone else is
willing to throw into the ring, Like someone else is
willing to throw your name out, whether it's a good
or bad thing. You don't want to ever be that name.
And I completely agree with her on this. What do
you guys think?
Speaker 1: Number one K points out it was actually Veronica.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, no, it was Veronica. No no, no, it was
not Veronica. It was Avery who picked Leroy and Veronica
jumped on board.
Speaker 2: Is Brittany who picked Leroy and Veronica jumped Oh sorry, yeah.
Speaker 5: Brittany, Brittany who picked Leroy and Veronica jumped on board.
Speaker 3: Veronica took the took the out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Veronica is the one that yes, turned a Burne
vote into a real vote.
Speaker 7: M Yeah, I agree with the living here, But Brittany
was the one who started.
Speaker 6: It's like, you never want your name to get out
there because once it's been said, once people feel like, oh,
we can just do it again and they won't be mad.
Speaker 2: I think that's why Derek was a little perturbed here,
and Derek was Derek was perturbed. Derek did not like this.
Speaker 3: No, and we do. We do get the quick talking
head showing that.
Speaker 5: That. Ben and MICHAELA went to Derek and sat him
down and said, hey, look, you guys are the most
protected team in the house. We need to pick a
team because we already know that Gabe is going in,
but we need to pick another team.
Speaker 3: We're gonna pick you guys, And.
Speaker 5: Derek kind of does the thing of like, are you
sure that everyone's gonna go in the way that you
say they're gonna go?
Speaker 3: Are you absolutely sure?
Speaker 5: And you can kind of see the panic in Derek's face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek doesn't like it at this. I don't blame him.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't like this.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't like this, and I don't I don't like
that Ben picked them because this is the week. This
is the weakest fucking choice. This is the weakest fucking
thing that's doing the opposite of what these rookies are saying,
what they're trying to do, you know what I mean, Like,
it's just not Yeah, I just don't like this. It
worked out for the rookies this this episode, but they
did not it sort of they lucked into this. They
just lucked into it and played the easiest path and
got lucky.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I agree with that. If you guys had to pick,
if you knew that the other team was absolutely going
to go in, who would you pick? Out of everybody
in the house.
Speaker 3: Lee Royan.
Speaker 1: Just keep that burn vote going, and everybody loves Leroy,
So it's Harks.
Speaker 6: I don't remember all the teams off the top of
my head, but I might go with Derek, you know, because.
Speaker 7: He does seem like a safe option.
Speaker 5: Savas or Kasinski Javes Okay, Tim Well.
Speaker 2: I mean I guess that depends on what, Like the
goal is right right now?
Speaker 5: The goal is not okay, so the goal right the
goal is that everybody's going to pick the other team.
You just need to throw someone in to be another
team in that pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, if I'm a rookie and I want Bananas
to go home, I probably want Bananas to go against Gabe.
Maybe that's the best thing that they did, but I
don't like that. It seems too easy. Yeah, but maybe
the best.
Speaker 5: I think the only other teams that you could pick
would be like a Leroy or a Nani, just because
I feel like both of those two teams are less
likely to be picked to go into an elimination against him.
Speaker 1: Well, the Mony thing you got to keep, you got
to be wary of, because Annie wouldn't be going in
no matter what.
Speaker 5: So I take a Jack. So we have Leroy who
was paired with uh no, Well it's really just the
men in that matter, Yeah, Leroy and Tay.
Speaker 2: But because really the rookies want Bananas to go home,
and so the rookies, the rookies are thinking who's the
best bets take out Bananas and look at Derek as.
Speaker 5: The other team, Like if Derek and if if ended
up getting votes, Derek would absolutely lose.
Speaker 2: So you're saying they should nominate somebody else they could
also beat Banana's just.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, like when I when I heard that,
when he said Derek as the name, I was actually
really surprised because I would have expected him to pick
someone who if anyone ended up picking him, he'd still
be able to beat Bananas, was my thought.
Speaker 2: Or it should be a vetman, right, get a vetman.
Speaker 5: Yeah, out of I kind of figured they people would
have gone that I kind of figured they would have
taken a big swing and either gone Kazinski or CT.
CT hasn't had a great they he hasn't had a
great showing, hasn't had a great show, a great showing.
Speaker 1: Johnny trying to pull CTS.
Speaker 2: Would run out of gas before he got his coin
in the trash.
Speaker 1: Can just pull him and drag him though, I feel
like CT would just playing his feet and Johnny would
try to run like a dog on the just like running.
Speaker 9: And yeah, but I mean purely, purely from like the
quick like start of this episode, I expected to vets to.
Speaker 5: Be going against each other. It just it felt weird that, Okay,
you want you want Johnny to be done, and yeah,
you're picking a you're picking a team that you quote
unquote no, will not go in. But like picking Derek,
yeah it goes up against Johnny. Derek's gonna be like
Johnny's gonna wipe the fucking floor with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm talking myself the other way, because yeah, if
the rookies, if the rookies are pro rookie, they should
do whatever it takes to keep the rookies out of it.
They should get CT in and make it CT versus bananas, right,
gave back. Yeah, yes, I'm back on this. I'm back
on this train. What are these rooks doing?
Speaker 5: Well, Derek isn't a rookie, he is a VET.
Speaker 2: But I just but they picked somebody they knew. When
they picked somebody they knew would throw in the rookie,
they should pick somebody that would at least maybe keep
the rookie out of there.
Speaker 5: You know, Derek is Derek is not a rookie.
Speaker 2: No, I know that they picked They picked the vet
that they knew wouldn't ye.
Speaker 5: Sorry, yes, yes, because they at the rookie game go in.
So yes, I.
Speaker 6: Actually think Jared Derek going in might have been great
for them because, let's face it, Johnny's a huge target.
Everyone's gonna be going after Johnny. Derek though the last
two challenges he's done. He's made to the final. Last
season he got second place, and as they kept saying,
he's the most protected player. You could get Johnny almost
any time. Everyone wants him out. It's hard to get
Derek because people will not normally put him in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they picked Derek because nobody would vote for him,
and nobody did. Right. It was unanimous, not against there,
but so like they should have picked somebody up or
politic against it, like you know, made a case against Derek.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm just saying worst case scenario. If it
blew up in their face and somehow Derek did go
in and lost, I think that they would have fallen
ass backwards into possibly an even better long term outcome.
Not short term because I think Johnny in the short
term is more dangerous, but long term, you know, when
you get near the final, Derek's could be impossible to
get out.
Speaker 2: Well, and they got another vet if if you're truly
are like rookies strong, they got a VET. Even if
they kept Johnny around, and Johnny is still a target,
they still have another. They have another they keep pursuing
that same target instead of having to now pick another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what do we say every season? Why are
these people not going after Johnny Bananas right away?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they should have gone against Bananas. They should
have gone against Bananas with Leroy or Kazinski.
Speaker 6: Remember right away, he's just too good to be thrown
in most times.
Speaker 1: Well it was not because he was last this time.
Uh kay brings up. Remember the house is really pissed
a game. Everybody is super mad. So the rookies, I
don't even think care if k bills home. So this
was the.
Speaker 5: Awesome if you guys can the rookies do not care
if Gabe right.
Speaker 2: But that's also what's what Mikayla is saying, like you
guys are thinking with your whatever instead of your brains,
Like keep the guy who sucks, because who cares, Like
you don't have to be friends with him, but keep Rant.
He's a number who can fight for us.
Speaker 1: We found out he doesn't suck.
Speaker 8: So yeah, oilers, ummm, yeah, I mean Mikayla demptly does
like she's she does say at one point in time like.
Speaker 5: Don't don't throw hold on, I've got it one here
somewhere she's talking to two people whatever. But yeah, So
ultimately nominations Mikayla and Ben voting Derek and Izzy. We
do get the quick talking here, the quick flashback scene
showing the two of them talking to Derek telling him, hey, like, this.
Speaker 3: Is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 5: We're doing it because we know that you are well protected,
we know that you're not going to go in.
Speaker 3: Derek is a little apprehensive, which I don't.
Speaker 5: Blame him because this is backfired before, but ultimately it
happens Gabe is voted in unanimously. We've got Olivia, who, again,
like I said, she makes the point of, like, you
don't want to ever be the person that people are
willing to throw your name down, whether it's a good
or a bad thing. You don't want to get your
name thrown out there ever. And then we kind of
get a scene of Gabe talking to Jake, and Gabe is,
Gabe is in his fields. He he sheds a few
tears about being in this situation, people not not vibing
with him, him being underestimated, him being you know, not,
He's he's not feeling so great about this. What'd you
guys think of this this little scene anything?
Speaker 1: No, I mean I felt bad. I felt bad for
him in the sense that he is just at this
weird lots. You know, he was playing football. He's not
playing football anymore. He was a wrestler. He's not wrestling anymore.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and you just felt that he talks about
is not American football. It's rugby football, which I appreciated, but.
Speaker 2: It's hard to feel sorry for a guy that's like
this right, but he did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a little stretched royally.
Speaker 1: He came in with hot energy is first like week
and it fucked him over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, I get I do get that, but
like it's hard to feel sorry for a guy that's
like a funk. I was like a pro pro sports
player in two different fields, and now I'm on this
reality show and I made a mistake And isn't life
so hard? It's like, fucking dude, you're doing fine, man,
get over it. Try again.
Speaker 3: No, I completely agree with that.
Speaker 5: I do appreciate Jake because Jake was kind of sitting
there like, dude, for the people that you feel like,
the people who feel like they have been offended by you,
just fucking go apologize. Yeah, and then you know, go
in to the elimination, give it everything you've got, leave
that shit all on the field, and show them that
you are worth being here. And I don't disagree with
him on this, like I don't make your amends and
get yourself into it. When you come back, you'll be
in a better position totally.
Speaker 2: And an apology goes a big way too. If he
just says like, hey, listen, I came in, I was
I came in hot I got a little in my head. Sorry,
I'm gonna try to be more humble. I think a
lot of the house will be like cool, dude, Like
it's fine, you know what I mean. He doesn't have
to be a big deal.
Speaker 5: Well shit, I mean ct is still there and people
fucking love him. Yeah, like ct Al. Those put two
people in the fucking grave, like not in the hospital,
in a grave, and he's still there and people love him,
myself included exactly. So yeah, an apology goes a long way.
An apology with an elimination win goes a really long way. Yeah,
so I don't disagree with Jake for telling him the stuff.
We also get a quick talking a head for bananas.
You know, Banana's doing a bananas thing talking about how
he's been in eliminations, this, that and the other. And
he talks about how he's been in over thirty eliminations.
I had to fact checking this was indeed his thirtieth elimination,
which it's not over thirty. I realized, semantics, it's over
thirty if you count. I'm the fucking Champs versus Stars
and the Redemption houses and all of that. Give him
those No, they don't.
Speaker 6: But I will say winning like a chance Fer Stars
does not count as a season win, but when an
elimination counts, and does the elimination win totally?
Speaker 2: So I am I win the many golf competition. That
was pretty badass. That was a cool one.
Speaker 5: Mini golf competition.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there Mini golf with the Who's the weirdo guyff
griff raf rap. Yeah?
Speaker 3: I did not know that that was the competition.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I was only counting. I was only counting
the Flagship like the Flagship seasons seasons one through.
Speaker 2: Forty, he's exactly thirty one through forty.
Speaker 5: He is a twenty nine prior to this episode. This
is his thirtieth elimination.
Speaker 2: Okay, um, and we can. I don't think that's a lie.
I'm okay, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 5: Don't like Johnny Bananas. I think he's an asshole and
I don't want to give him anything.
Speaker 2: Are you with this thing?
Speaker 7: Wrong with this?
Speaker 5: I'm going to call him out.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's fine with the tips raw fine, Colin,
you're on an island by yourself.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's fine. I'll be on an island by
myself I'm sure there will be many many listeners who
are on my island.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm this, I'm this way all the time, with
so many of my insane stances. You just got to
enjoy it.
Speaker 5: Enjoy it if I've been an after show last week
with you on the island.
Speaker 2: Yeah that makeup thing deodorant. Yeah no, no, we were.
Speaker 5: Talking about crystals and it doesn't matter, that's right. Yeah. Anyway, Okay,
so we are onto elimination.
Speaker 2: Women named.
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 3: The elimination is.
Speaker 5: Called hold them Back, zach or you you're you're muted,
I'm here, can we hear you? Okay, you want to
give us a quick breakdown of the of the elimination.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, uh, you have three I believe it's three
ropes and there's three different like tokens that when the
players on offense they need to strap into one of
the ropes and run and put their token in a
basket at the end. Meanwhile, the other player on defense
is behind a wall and they have to grab the
rope and pull the person backwards so that way they
cannot get to their basket and score the tokens.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, I do have to say this. This had
confusing parts where you could pause and unhook, and there
was I didn't fully understand all of it, if I'm
being honest with you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was. It was very much an offensive
game the offense had full control of, Like they could
they could connect to one rope and then unconnect and
connect to a different rope.
Speaker 2: But I don't think you could always unconnect because what
if you were getting pulled the fuck back Because there
was sometimes where Johnny would like stop and then throw
the disc and just stand there, and sometimes we would disconnect.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure that there were rules that we didn't know.
I'm sure it's like you have to you know, you
can't be getting pulled backwards and then unconnected like don't.
I'm sure there are rules that we didn't know.
Speaker 2: But I think they must have paused the game to
let Johnny unconnect because you can't really unconnect if he's
constantly pulling, right.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: It didn't seem like it, because so long that you're
able to reach behind you and unhook it, you could
unhook yourself at any point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it depends on how that the thing was
set up. I'm picturing like a Caribbean or we have
to pull it towards you to unhooked. But if if
you know, if you can't put it towards you, you can't
hook I.
Speaker 5: Mean, it didn't look like they had to pull it
towards them. They just had to kind of like turn around.
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure if you stick it out though.
It was just like we just saw them disconnected. I
don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we saw it multiple times that they would just
like disconnect.
Speaker 2: I need to watch it again. How would they disconnect
if they were being pulled. Wouldn't the other guy like
fucking fall over if he's like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Johnny was pulled over multiple times and he's still
like flipped it up and disconnected.
Speaker 2: No, I mean the guy pulling, when the guy pulling
fall over, If Johnny disconnected while you're yanking as hard
as you can.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, they didn't. They did not show Gabe ever
falling backwards. Yeah, And maybe he did and we just
didn't see.
Speaker 2: It, or maybe the disconnecting was weirder than we think
it might have been. I think it's weird.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's, like Zach said, there's a curved wall that
you can't see the other person from offense, can connect
to whatever rope he wants to. Defense has to then
find the rope and pull it. Defense also had extra ropes,
which I initially thought that the extra ropes were supposed
to be like a mislead, but I think the extra
ropes were actually there for like you to be able
to grab your rope, grab that extra rope, and like
leverage to walk backwards, because they didn't start at the
same spot as the They didn't started the wall. They
started like five feet back. HM. So like the the
the challenges or the eliminations where you and your opponent
are tied back to back and there's a big giant
rope attaching you, and then there's a rope that you
can grab onto and like pull yourself up on that rope.
It looked like those kinds of ropes rather than something
that they had, I don't know it, rather than like
a tug of war rope. It was strange. Anyway, TJ
mentions it those ropes don't actually come into any matter
that it's just the main three ropes. Johnny is initially
on offense, and Gabe is on defense, and Johnny, I
mean initially it seems like Johnny's strategy is pretty good
because Johnny, like he starts on one rope, he goes
a few feet and then he drops that rope and
runs to another one and connects that rope, and his
whole strategy is to be able to kind of makebe
use a lot of his energy before Gabe is the
one on offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and really he's just doing what he can do, Like, yeah,
he didn't know these choices.
Speaker 5: Here, which we didn't we didn't realize just how much
it is a he's doing what he could do. Yeah,
Because so Johnny finally gets his three tokens in the goal.
Speaker 1: And what was that took him eleven minutes and some change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the third one was hard because by the
time you get to the third one, you can't disconnect anymore.
There's no point to disconnecting because there's.
Speaker 5: No other no other rope to go to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is another weird thing because if it comes
down to tug of war anyway, what's the point of
the switch switching thing? I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean think that I kind of thought
that maybe it would be a on that third rope,
you could drop that rope and run to the one
one of the two that you have already done and like, yeah,
try to fake them out.
Speaker 2: There should be something like that. Yeah, if the ropes,
if that's if that's the point of the ropes to
give a.
Speaker 5: Little like and I don't know if it was actually
part of the game that you were not allowed to
go and do that, or if it was just something
that they figured you were not allowed to do so
they didn't try.
Speaker 3: But it's never like neither of them do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So Johnny, like like Wolfe says, it takes some about
eleven minutes to get all three of his pieces in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because last one you just kind of have to
muscle through it. Yeah, you just have to do it. Yeah,
he's crawling through the sand. And as you see it
on the Challenge, I.
Speaker 5: Mean there are there are multiple scenes of Johnny connected
to the rope that Gabe is pulling backwards in defense
and Johnny is just being drug across the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they switch spots.
Speaker 5: Gabe is now on offense. He starts off on one,
he gets pulled by Johnny, he runs to another one,
he gets connected to that rope, grabs his token, runs
to the end, dunks his token before Johnny has even
grabbed the rope. Not so fucking fast.
Speaker 2: Not only is he huge and strong, but yes, fucking
fast man.
Speaker 1: So fast ship fast come into play.
Speaker 2: Yeah unreal, like holy ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like my jaw hit the floor. I was just
like what ye holy.
Speaker 5: It was insane. It was insane to watch this this
part of the elimination.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Gabe is so incredibly fast. So he gets his
first one in like in seconds runs so basically you
have ropes one, two, three. He runs from one to three.
Three is the one that he gets in first. Then
he runs all the way back over to one, picks
up the rope, connects the ropes, runs all the way
to the to the goal, dunks number one again before
Johnny can even really possibly grab the rope. It isn't
It's nuts. And by this point in time, we see
you talk talking from Johnny where Johnny's like, yeah, so
I thought that I like attempted to use some of
Gabe's strength and energy, but apparently that didn't happen.
Speaker 2: I got it. I felt a little sorry for bananas
here all.
Speaker 3: Zero point two percent felt bad for Johnny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Gabe.
Speaker 5: Gabe runs to his third token, which is token number two,
it's already like a quarter of the way through. He
connects the rope and starts running. Johnny grabs it about
halfway down the runway, pulls him back and he kind
of stops and he backs up a little bit, rethinks things,
and then runs. And this is when we get one
of the best talking heads I have ever seen, spet
times in and he goes, huh, you know, Gabe is
Gabe has given us this walk, this this backpack kind
of walk. I wonder, I wonder where I've seen this before.
Speaker 10: And you get the scene kind of like jumping, and
you almost you almost see that Johnny Banana's backpack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw it. It was I saw it. It was.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 2: They took the same It was the same sort of cadence.
It was like the feet dumping in the sand, you know,
because your feet have to like grip the sand. Yes,
they had the same boom boom, Yeah, it was bananas
on the other side of the boom booms, poor bananas.
Oh my god, Zach crying? Were you crying?
Speaker 5: Zach tears So mute, Zach, come off of mute and
tell us how you felt.
Speaker 1: I think his work. Relief is there.
Speaker 3: Oh, we're gonna have to get him there his console.
Speaker 5: This ultimately, Johnny Bananas is going fucking home. I did
not see this this early in the game. This may
be older than the Johnny Bananas backpack. This may be
my absolute favorite of Johnny Bananas going home because it
was compared to the Johnny Banana's backpack.
Speaker 1: Something we got to talk about though. Technically, if you watch,
if you watch how it went down, Johnny quit.
Speaker 2: Yes, he did. He did dropped.
Speaker 1: Let's gave so that is weirdly quick.
Speaker 2: Yep, you could have held it.
Speaker 1: He maybe could have held him in the sand for
another nine minutes. Ye don't know. We'll never know.
Speaker 5: This does seem this seems like a bit of a
pattern because I feel like the last time Johnny was
put in a situation even remotely close to this, Johnny
was in a final and I realize him saying all
of this when when Zachi Bananas doesn't have the ability
to rebut because he is currently not sitting at his
desk listening to his phone. Yeah, so Johnny was in
a final and he and Nanny quit said final, and
now this is the next.
Speaker 1: Time He's joy didn't quit.
Speaker 5: True, Johnny quit that final and this is the next
time that we've seen him, and he's now quitting in
the elimination.
Speaker 1: Just gave up.
Speaker 5: Yepre what a bitch? Okay, so Zach, Zach did you?
Speaker 2: He was a small nick is.
Speaker 1: That's why that long rope.
Speaker 5: That's right, so Zach. Did you not see Johnny drop
that rope before Gabe finished putting the token into that goal?
Speaker 6: I thought the ropele his hand, And yes, in a sense,
he dropped it. But it's like when you play tug
of war with someone and you're giving your best, but
they're stronger than you, and eventually they just pulled so
hard that you lose your grip and it's like, it's
not that you gave up, you just got overpower.
Speaker 1: That's that's not what this was.
Speaker 6: You you.
Speaker 1: I've had it jerked from my hands, but that's not
what this was.
Speaker 5: No, he did not get it jerked from his hands.
He dropped it. There is a huge difference. If he'd
gotten it jerked from his hands, his top, his upper
body would have been pulled forward. He let go of that.
He was still standing. He was not.
Speaker 2: He Yeah, yeah, he's a quitter. He did quit.
Speaker 5: This is the second time in recent memory that he
is quit. The last time was in a finals.
Speaker 6: I would I'm about to see, I'm about to start
my car. History shows that I might lose you, but
not quit.
Speaker 5: Oh see, Zachie Bananas is quitting on the podcast. Uh.
Speaker 1: Goose Fors asked earlier if Gabe was a wrestler that
we got that you guys knew about now. He signed
like a w W developmental contract. That means he was
like working out at their company to like maybe potentially
be put on TV, and he got He got eliminated
before not eliminated. They they decided they didn't see anything
in him and they let him go.
Speaker 3: So all right, well, also boring. That's why real quick
we have.
Speaker 5: Chris says that zach is de Lulu, and goose for says,
did Gabe Bananas know when the coins were deposited on
the other side?
Speaker 3: No, So that's the other thing I didn't mention.
Speaker 5: The the challengers that were standing on the sidelines were
completely silent for this entire game, and I assume that
TJ told them that they were not allowed to say anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I do think there's enough context clues to
know which coins are left, right, You heard the coins
be deposited in the trash can like their metal, like
you would have.
Speaker 5: I guess maybe you heard it, and you like.
Speaker 2: From how much rope has been extended on your side,
like it just seems like like how could they have
hidden it? Like you you would know? I agree with that, yeah,
you would know on that side.
Speaker 5: But ultimately, uh, bananas is going fucking home at episode
four when Nala's is going home and episode four in
the episode after he said that he is the challenge.
Speaker 2: All right, so you Wes has Wes has been posting
a lot that eliminations like this are not exactly I'll
put this in air quotes fair because they are one
hundred size based. He uses hall Brawl as the main example,
but this one is also just sort of.
Speaker 3: Guys can fuck off, West can absolutely fuck.
Speaker 2: He's right, He's right though, right, he's.
Speaker 5: Right, he is right. But at the same time, and
I have said this multiple times, we have all said
this multiple times. This is the challenge. This game is
never fair. There are always.
Speaker 3: Things like this that happened.
Speaker 5: Size differences are always a factory.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate a little.
Speaker 5: Bit has benefited from the size difference before.
Speaker 2: Well, but let's say, let's like, in terms of a
smaller guy versus Gabe, Bananas is the best person in
the house to take him on, right, in terms of.
Speaker 5: Like, Bananas is not a smaller guy.
Speaker 2: That's my point. Bananas is not a smaller guy. He's
also big and strong and smart and strategic. And he
got fucking smashed, like just not even remotely close. And
it's because Gabe is tall and big, and that's it. Like,
that's really all I came down to.
Speaker 5: Okay, Tim, if CT were against Gabe in this.
Speaker 3: Episode, who would have won?
Speaker 2: Probably CT?
Speaker 5: I agree. I think gable to one.
Speaker 2: Really think his speed is yes, I think his speed
win because because of speed.
Speaker 5: I think his speed wins out absolutely. I also think
that Gabe Gabe is a rugby player. He's not a
football player in American football. He is a rugby player.
Rugby players are meant to do scrums, They're meant to
do things that are low. I understand that I'm size
plays into this. It's a you have to get lower,
you have to get smaller, you have to get down
when you are in rugby. And it doesn't matter if
you are a huge player or not. You have to
get small.
Speaker 2: Motherfucker did not get small and down to win this.
He got big Rugby.
Speaker 5: You have to get small and that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I'm you're right, I'm right. Okay, you
proved me right. Thank you, Zach.
Speaker 6: Would you have to say one chance, because when I
dropped off during the main child did uh? Did you
guys bring up the great production screw job that happened
this year?
Speaker 7: No, we're not.
Speaker 5: We're not onto.
Speaker 3: We are not on to social media yet. That's social
media thing.
Speaker 2: I talked about though, Is that what you mean?
Speaker 5: The social media?
Speaker 3: We're not gonna go into it.
Speaker 5: We're not going to go into it as social media.
There yet. We're not finished with the episode.
Speaker 2: Chill, yeah, chill, dud.
Speaker 5: All right, So the last thirty seconds of the episode
we get next week's selection because they do the selection
at the end of this episode.
Speaker 3: Again, Tim, did you watch it this time?
Speaker 5: No? Okay?
Speaker 2: No, seeah.
Speaker 5: Bananas loses, He goes home. Bananas does say, he says,
the New Threats are about to take over this fucking game.
He does say that. Okay, So selection for next week
we have been and Olivia, Mikayla and Jake ct and Sydney,
Adrian and Turbo, Jeremy and Smashley, Leroy and America, Tay
and Theo, Aviv and Will, Anissa and Cedric, Derek and
d which I think Derek and d were the ones
that made me realize that they're they are picking teams
that they've already had before. Aviv and Derek, Leo and Kara,
Nannie and Justin. Then Gab and Leka. Gabe and Leka
are the ones that kind of stick out because both.
Speaker 3: Of them are new threats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, and.
Speaker 5: Everyone's everyone is a little surprised by this because it
kind of gets down to them and they're both standing
there off to the side, and Ben TJ says, this
is the first time. But Gab and Leka, you're a team.
So it looks like if we have an if we
have a weird number of one side or the other,
it doesn't matter, They're going to be a team as
long as their opposite sex.
Speaker 2: It is weird though, because that means the stranglers kind
of get stuck at the end, right, Vets have to
pick threats and vice versa until the end. Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, it also it puts Gabe and Leka
in a weird position because they also automatically have a
pretty fucking large target on them from the Vets because
it's two newbies.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they could easily try to make the challenge
as such that they lose. Yeah, right, that's the risk here,
all right, A lot of times?
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody had ever challenge by dot com. Join the
Facebook group. You can also join our Patreon. What do
people get on Patreon?
Speaker 2: All right, guys, five bucks a month. We only have
one tier, but it's it's worth it. Five bucks a month.

Speaker 2: This season is a weird one. The ratings are going
up every episode because it's good season. Yeah, yeah, it's
a good seasons.
Speaker 6: People are talking about how great the season is. People
are turning back in.
Speaker 2: Too bad for the last one. Too bad. This is
so sad.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure we've already been confirmed for forty two
and forty three.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't mean that's actually go to happen, because.
Speaker 1: Remember when Warner Brothers made an entire Backer Roll movie
and was like, nah, just put it on a shelf
and we're never going to release it.
Speaker 2: I love three.
Speaker 6: When I told you guys for months we were going
to get season forty one, and Tim was like, not
never happening.
Speaker 2: Would have ever been wrong about anything? It's crazy. That's
the only time, Yeah, the only time. I know. It's crazy.
It's the only time I've ever been wrong. Nuts is
recorded for podcasts, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Well, Zach muted themselves. I'm assuming he's on our social media. Carlin,
you want to go over fantasy the.
Speaker 7: Social media really quickly.
Speaker 5: We're gonna do Carland's correction corner.
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, I'm interrupting because cases, Kara and Nanny
are collaborating for an OnlyFans project. Baby, I'm in, I'm in,
Send me the link. K Let's go.
Speaker 6: Let's go, all right, we're using the Patreon money to get.
Speaker 7: That for us.
Speaker 2: Whatever whatever it takes, man, whatever it takes, we'll pool
all of our funds.
Speaker 5: So really great, We're gonna We're gonna do. As Wolfy
coined it on our in our group chat the other day,
Carlin's correction corner real quick. So last week we mentioned
that I think was it Sydney who's his Lionist? Whatever
we were talking about, all of us sounded like idiots,
myself included I clearly was. I was talking of my ass.
So according to Google, a Zionist is a person who
supports Zionism, which is super helpful. It's a nationalist and
ideological movement for the establishment and preservation of the Jewish
homeland and state of Israel. So you do not have
to be Jewish or to be a Zionist. That's all.
Speaker 3: That's the correction, all right, So onto the fun things.
Speaker 2: We were called out by some lady on Facebook, all right,
or not for some lady some person.
Speaker 5: She didn't call us out. She just said, hey, quick, FYI,
you do not have to be Jewish in order to
be a Zionist.
Speaker 2: Well correct your words. I like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I appreciated that thank you to the person
who called us out, because clearly none of.
Speaker 7: Us will talk about it.
Speaker 5: I'm still not sure this is why we have a
podcast about the challenge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I still don't know. But hey, we shouldn't
kill innocent people a right, can we all?
Speaker 5: No? I mean, genocide is still rdibly wrong and definitely happening.
Speaker 2: Sure say that in a happy voice.
Speaker 1: Sure it is just going out. Someone on Spotify also
said this sidebar about Israel Palestine when no one has
a real understanding of what is going on, is kind
of funny.
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie totally.
Speaker 1: I love this podcast, been listening for years. Thanks for
doing dude.
Speaker 2: I said that in the chat, I'm far beyond like
I'm not gonna understand what's happening in that. Really, I
don't know. I don't know, man, what can I say?
Speaker 5: Too complicated, it's been going on for like seventy plus years.
Speaker 2: Release the files I really care about that.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, release the Epsteine files.
Speaker 1: And also from Spotify, Morgan says, fun fact, the same
people that do the challenges you Vander pomp Vila, which
is why I suspect car and Boli were on it.
Speaker 2: Goot to know yeah, people, other challenges are going to
be on the next one or whatever.
Speaker 5: Be Pavilla.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw something on the MTV Challenge interesting.

He dropped two spots.

Speaker 5: Where are you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So podcast host team is in fifteenth place. We dropped
two spots and in twenty eight.
Speaker 1: He did not know a single spot because I got
a bunch of negative points for all these people not
finishing their So feature.
Speaker 5: Christ you got negative points again this episode.
Speaker 2: We'll do better, do better, We'll feed all right.

Speaker 5: And I got one hundred and thirty nine with Adrian Ashley,
ben Ct and Mikayla. Yeah, Mikayla was a good pick
this episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's so hot. That is so hot.
Speaker 5: She is hot. She's also super dry. I just I
really like Mikayla. I did not like her her first season.
She has grown on me. Yeah, I like how dry
she is.
Speaker 1: I like how I just stop.
Speaker 2: Carl and stop saying it that like that.
Speaker 3: I can absolutely say it like that.
Speaker 2: No, no, you can't because of the implication.
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to get her wet. I like how
dry she is. Yeah, Tim, that's just a you thing.
Speaker 2: So no, it's's expression. Every time you fucking said that,
we'll wit like this.
Speaker 1: People people in the chat room were earlier.
Speaker 5: I like.
Speaker 2: Humor is what's so sandy up there?
Speaker 1: All right? Someone else have anything else? You can wrap this?
Speaker 6: So we we did forget something social media, the great
Johnny Banna screw job.
Speaker 5: Uh all start foreign challenges unless it happens to me.
Speaker 2: We did talk about back off. We talked about it
while you dropped off, Zach that there.
Speaker 5: We didn't actually put it in context. What do you
mean We didn't give exactly why we said all of
the things that we said.
Speaker 2: I thought we did.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So according to Johnny on the podcast the Two.
Speaker 5: Rounds Johnny Podcast, not on the podcast on Johnny's podcast, Yeah,
I thought that's.
Speaker 6: Why I said anyway that the two rounds were flipped.
So Johnny's group actually was the first to go. And
according to Johnny, normally when they have a time on challenges,
production will let them know, hey, this is timed.
Speaker 7: You know, if you don't have it done by this time,
you will DQ.
Speaker 6: And when they have those they also get a two
minute warning before the DQ timer hits. So he cleared
his board because they never told them that there was
a time on this. So he thought it was like, hey,
you have the time in the world, get it done,
and then next thing you know, he clears his board
and there's like, hey, we're DQ and all of you
guys that aren't done. And that's why the next group,
you know, the first group that we saw, no one DQ'd,
he said it because they all learned from that first round.
They're like, oh, you didn't tell us there was a
time limit, and they're like, oops, yep, there's a time limit,
so don't DQ.
Speaker 5: Okay, but they all also finished.
Speaker 2: It's a little weird. So if you finished the first this.
Speaker 5: Second, if it is true that his heat was first
in the their heat was second, the second heat all finished,
so it doesn't matter if there was a time limit.
They all finished.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a little weird. That is a little weird.
I see what you're saying, Zach, and I I like,
I don't think bananas would lie about that, Like that
seems like.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, the second heat, according to him, yeah,
that's the second It doesn't finished, So it does not
matter that there was a time limit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't solve that problem.
Speaker 5: It's just bananas being hypocritical because all's fair and love
warn challenges unless it happens to me.
Speaker 1: Chris says, well, they probably thought no one would take
so long. Sorry, you sucked so much.
Speaker 5: One thousand percent. It's sudoku.
Speaker 6: So we don't know where, you know, where he fell
in the order, But there is a chance had he
known that, he would not have cleared his board.
Speaker 7: Maybe he's like second to last.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, But we also don't know exactly how many
seconds before the time was called they actually pulled all
the numbers off the board. It could have been three
minutes before the time was called they pulled all the
numbers off the board, in which case he still would
have had absolutely nothing on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll never know.
Speaker 1: There were a bunch of other teams that started from
scratch and they didn't get last place.
Speaker 5: So exactly teams in I must havesed.
Speaker 6: I didn't see any other teams say let's wipe our
entire board.
Speaker 5: There were there were multiple teams said that they were
going to their board they.
Speaker 1: Start from the beginning.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, then, just I agree that that takes away
some of Johnny's argument there than if other teams did
as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it was Johnny being Johnny, and.
Speaker 5: Something's wrong and I didn't finish first, and it's clearly
in it's against me. It's such a little bitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's have this up.
Speaker 1: I gotta put my guests. Yeah, it's this episode's almost
two hours.
Speaker 2: Jesus fucking Christ, Why did you say this?
Speaker 5: This episode is almost two hours because mister Watson in
the pre show said that this was going to be
a fast one, and every time he says that, it
never is.
Speaker 2: That's not me.
Speaker 5: I blame him.
Speaker 2: That's not me.
Speaker 1: Everybody head every Challenge but dot com. Join the Facebook group.
