Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
What's going on? We are back with more ninety nine
to beat. I know, we had a week off, so
now we were resetting and we're back to talk episode
number six. I'm joined as always by David A and Luigi.
How are y'all good?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
How are you doing?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Wow? Thanks for having us again.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Of course y'all are a staple, so have to keep
coming back and listen. I'm telling you that one week
off through me.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I know, I think it threw so many people off, right,
because I had so many people messaging and like is
it are you off the show? Or like what happened?
And why isn't it on? And I'm like, relax, we'll
be back.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
And people are so excited to keep watching because they've
been following, especially friends and families, so they I mean,
it builds and then when wherever you hear your friends
get excited, then you're like, ah, I miss it too,
Like I'm ready for it to be I.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Know, the excitement like went down a little bit. I'm like,
all right, now we're back.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
We're back, We're back, We're moving, and we dive right
into the very first game of the episode. It's fine
a light and the way they describe this, I go,
I love me some musical chairs type of game because listen,
they get intense.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Mean musical chairs. You know, it's one of those things
everybody's played at one point in their life, right like
growing up. I think what was tough about this is
like we had no control over like where the spotlights were,
whereas in musical chairs and chairs don't move right so
you can see them in front of you, So it
was difficult to kind of gauge where they were going

(01:31):
to stop, how many were gonna light up at a time.
So I definitely struggled a little bit with this one.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing that we
just didn't know. We never knew how many we're gonna
we're going to be showing up. We don't know how
many people to be safe each round, So there was
a little bit of like a stress because you didn't
know if there was like a bulk of people safe
in the first round and then there's like six of
you left. I was out in the first round, so
I did really well in this one. But I also
took a different strategy than I saw on the show.

(02:00):
A lot of people were genuinely following the dots on
the floor, and I guess I never I was like,
that's gonna do you like no good, just because the
dots could be anywhere, like they can show up once
it stops, that they're gonna stop. So I just went
on the periphery like by myself, like no one was
around me, and I was like, there's gonna be a
dot somewhere over here.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I tried to stay mostly on like the outskirts, but
that did not work in my favor because every time
they stopped, they were never near me. And I was
literally probably the last like five or six in that shuffle.
They didn't really show it obviously, but that's where I
kind of landed, and I was like, crap. And I
remember the last light that I stood on. When I
finally got it, it was me and like two other people,

(02:40):
like three of us ran to the same one and
was like neck and neck. We actually had no idea
who had gotten it, and then it was me, thank god.
But Yeah, didn't love that one.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I feel like you were like third to last round
because you weren't. You definitely weren't the last round. No,
I wasn't the last one.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I thought.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I was like second or third to the last round.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I was like third, I wasn't like worried about you yet,
like I think that you were it mind just popped
up literally next to my feet.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I think I think this one a lot of it
was luck, right, like if you just happened to be
standing where the lights stopped, like you got it. There
was really no strategy to it.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
And what's funny about this one is I did not
expect there to be as many ties as there were,
Like I really didn't, and they did it. They showed
like two of them because they're gonna show Preston le
Andrew because their brother sister, like you can see that,
and then like oh they should like car Maria too,
and then they.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Should like the group of three. But I we had
multiple ties most Yeah. What was cool about it though,
is if if.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
They could not make a decision, then both people got
a thumbs down, you have to keep playing, Like if
there was like a direct tie, they were like thumbs
down to both, you're both still playing because neither one
of you officially won.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I think the two times I was able to actually
like get on a spotlight, it was always with people
like it was like at the same time. The first
time it happened to me, Me and Jen actually like
bumped into each other and I felt so bad. I
was like, I'm so sorry, Like it was just it
was just horrible. And she ended up getting that that
spotlight and then I had to go another round. But yeah,

(04:06):
I did not like that game. Not one of my favorites.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Did you step off of it with Jenn or did
they give you the know?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
They gave me the no.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I couldn't remember if you like were like that was
you no.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Because it was like very neck and neck and you
know what happened was like I was looking down and
I just like ran and boom, I like ran right
into her with my head and so I had no idea,
you know, and you're like your brain is all frazzle
and your your panic because they're like, oh, I need
to find a spotlight. So I love them to decide
on that one.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, when you're going full speed, it's really difficult to
stop because all you have on the mind is let
me get to that space, let me get to the dot.
I don't care who's surrounded by me, because as we
see in this game, it's a game of inches. Really
for some folks whether they got through or not. And
I did love that element of the game as a viewer,
probably not as a player because you just have to
get there very very quickly. And then we see in

(04:56):
the last heat two people are going for the same
exact spot. If you just had your head on a swivel,
you would have gotten to the other one quicker.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
But I think we felt that from the sidelines, we
were like right behind you.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
And I was just gonna say one of my most
like kind of like heart stopping moments of filming that
show was watching Storm do that, because Storm also stood
right next to me in the circle, so I was like, girl,
So we had been alone for a while, like everyone
else was gone and I we're I mean, everyone is
like Storm turn around, like but in that moment, she
was like she saw a light and she was like,

(05:29):
that's my light. I mean, Robert and you even see
me kind of trots over there after the fact, but
Storm probably could have went to the light with Geraldine
turned around and Stone it absolutely far away, like he
was the opposite corner. He didn't really see it at
first either, So it was like, I mean, it was
like heartbreaking to watch because I think we all kind
of knew that Geraldine had beat her to it as well.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I don't think, I don't. I was not surprised.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Whenever I found interesting was in the commentary. Aron was like, Oh,
I would be throwing like elbows right like in this competition,
like to like knock people out of the way. I
don't know if it ever crossed my mind. I mean,
not that I would do this, but like to get physical,
like I never even it never even crossed my mind
that like other people would get physical. So I just
always thought it was interesting that they she said things

(06:14):
like that. I know she comes from like a sports background,
but like I don't know, I just know in my head,
I was like, could we have gotten physical, like and
I don't know, would we have gotten in trouble?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
I remember people colliding, but it was always on accident
because we're looking at the floor. We're not I'm not
looking at Luigi being like I got a nudge about that.
I'm looking at the light on the floors.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm running.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I'm not looking at as well. So I never like
consider doing that.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I know me neither, but I like wonder, I'm like,
if people started to get physical, Like would we have
gotten in trouble? Like would they have like stopped the game?
Like I actually wonder I don't know if they.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Didn't say before the game. I right, you just don't know.
But y'all's game has a different vibey. Everyone was more friendly.
But if you compared it to a squid game for example, Oh,
people are there's some physical content contact for.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Sure, but I mean they never technically said yeah, right,
I could. I just don't think it was that kind
of game. But like I as I heard, I'm like, wow,
I'm like, in none of the games were playing it,
did anybody really like get physical? So it's interesting. I'm like,
I wonder if it would have taken that route.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Because the vibe in the room wasn't that either.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I mean, you even hear Carl Maria, who has played
many a physical game. She is someone who just by
instinct resorts that Like it didn't even like you could
tell even with her little like her and James, there
was no sort of like let me push him out.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Note, it was let me get to the spot.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I know, And I just I just I really really
wonder if it would have taken a different route. How
what it would have looked like interesting.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Hey, you know what, I was out first.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I mean I was not. I'm just I'm just curious.
I'm like, if it would have taken that route, I mean,
I would have been steamrolled.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
But it was so close to me that people started
moving towards it, and then they looked at me and
they were like, you you got it, because I mean
they were like, I'm not going to run to that,
like it's literally my foot was like my pinky toe
was already in it.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Right. I just think it always comes down to what
the show's vibe is entirely because as you brought up
carl Maria, car Maria has done headbanger type of elimination,
or you're running and shreking completely through someone, you're taking
them out. That's what the challenge is based off of.
This game. On the other hand, it's just more of
all right, if you see someone, as you said, David,

(08:23):
they know you had it. Why are we contesting this.
We're just going to try and go to the next
round and see if we can get through.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah. But I did think this was an interesting game.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I think we were all kind of like, ooh, this
is different than everything we've done so far.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, it was okay. I didn't love it. I do
think it came down to luck most of the time.
It was a very game for me.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
It kind of I feel like when we were out
there filming, we all kind of like there was like
a type there's like one of each type of game
each episode, and this did kind of feel like, I mean,
the luck game of the episode. So I was like,
I'm not surprised, but I'm not mad at it. Like
we needed one.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, we knew it was coming in some fashion, so yeah,
maybe it during it it would have like felt more fun,
but it was like just silent and it was just
like just the lights. Like if music was playing, maybe
it would have been more like, okay, like this is
this is cute, but it was not.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
That, so it would have made it pop a little bit.
But I think you would have loved it more, Luigi
if it was the butterfly effect that you had where
you just have to be standing there. Oh I'm already
on the dot. I don't even have to move.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
True, true, I know, but at least a butterfly like
I went for it, like you know what I mean,
Like I don't know this one just felt different because
it was like I had no idea where the light
was gonna stop. It didn't matter what I did. At
least a butterfly, like I could run around and physically
look for for it there somewhere, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
It was Okay. Something else I did find interesting, though,
is I kind of assumed that there would be less
lice each round. The first round had one of the
least amounts of lights.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah, it was like five of us, it was, and
then like one of the later rounds I think maybe
right before the final one had like seven or eight.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
I feel like it was a people.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Were looking up as if like that would help. I
don't even know. I mean like they were looking up
at like there was no strategy for this.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
On the sidelines, you could tell really yeah, because it
was the same ones, like the same ones, But how
do you know where they were going to stop? I
mean not where, but like that's the one that people
started to follow from the side. On the side, we
could see all of them, like the end light on
each like Raptor is the one that's staying on If

(10:30):
you wanted to like have that strategy of follow the light,
like that's.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
The one that you should look at.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, it was interesting.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
No one knew that until you got to the same
so because then everyone in the safe song is kind
of like.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
You see, I see it. That's the one that keeps it.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And it was true, no doubt about it. But the
next game, I see I I love these duo type
of games. We're talking about the Cotton School here, and
I'll let y'all take it away.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I loved this one. Loved it.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
I did not, but we'll get into that because I
know that you had a harder time with this one
than me. And Tommy flew through it like we literally
we were first done. We both had come from dance backgrounds.
We weren't even dizzy. I was actually laughing with some
of my friends because people are going really slowed in
the background at the shot you see me and Tommy
like we we just look funny doing it because we

(11:23):
both were comfortable doing it.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So I was like, give me more of this. I
was ready.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
I think what annoyed me most about this one? And
I'm gonna I don't even know if I'm allowed to
say this, but I'm going to anyway. I don't really care.
They showed me and my partner Miranda as the bottom two.
We were not the bottom two in that challenge?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, but is it bad that I thought you were?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
We were absolutely not. We were like not even bottom
four or five or six, like, we were definitely like
in the middle. Because that game, I remember they paused
for some reason at some point and we were already
done and there were still four or five teams out there.
I am one thousand percent positive we were not bottom two.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I had a different memory of that game, and we.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Were not bottom two, and they edited it to make
it seem like we were bottom two. And if you
notice when they edit it, they zoom in so hyper
focused on like really really close to our faces. That
way you cannot see anything around us, because you would
have seen multiple teams still going. We were not bottom
two in that whatsoever. It was it me out of

(12:27):
the ropes and people were still going Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I mean, that was one of those ones that even
as someone who was comfortable with it, when I started
with the rope, when they put that on me, I
was not expecting it to be as tight as it was,
so I the rope compressed.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Your whole being.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
So I received the rope and what happened was it
got so tight around my body. When I finished that,
I literally couldn't even like inhale to like take a breath,
and I went into like panic mode. So my partner
Miranda is vomiting on the floors literally going on. I
was screaming for help because I was like, I can't
freaking breathe. I was like, and they ran out and
like cut me out of it with a scissor. Knew

(13:08):
and I wasn't the only one. There's a couple of
people like that as well. And then we saw what
happened with Jane's like, yeah, that was not I mean
for you, maybe it was not a fun challenge. I
cannot imagine having to do it twice. I was so dizzy,
I didn't know where I was. Then as you're spinning,
I guess, like, you know, you lose sense of direction,

(13:28):
So I don't know if like we were stepping into
like other people's area. I remember the the the reps
coming and being like, oh, like you need to move
or you need to go forward, and I'm like what,
like I don't even know. I don't even know my
name right now, Like it's just it's I don't know
what's happening. I was like going and going and going
and don't stop. But yeah, we were not about him too,
So I mean I'm a little salty about how they

(13:50):
how they portrayed that to.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Your point that like Danny literally like fell into Miko's
rope because I just it just like you, especially if
you didn't like a focused spot, like you just were dizzy,
Especially because it was a lot more rope than I
think that even even when we looked at the schools
to begin with, we didn't think it was as much
as when they actually put it on. You like, looking

(14:13):
at it on the school it does not do it justice.
It was so much.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I felt so bad that like people had to do
that again because it was really unpleasant and the time
in between, like they did not really get to rest
that long. They pretty much went right into it, and
like I couldn't even imagine to do that again.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Also, the mindset of these are the two people who
already like weren't able to do it the first time.
Now you're making them do it again right after. What
I will say though, is they did have less rope.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't remember.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, I mean, you can't even tell the edit, like
it was, but they it was a shorter spool.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
I said, you know, when I watched it from from
the couch the other last week, the it was interesting.
Some people were like rolling on the floor. Yeah, that
take me, I thought was interesting. I don't know, I
wouldn't have thought. I actually wouldn't even thought to do that,
but it was an interesting take on it.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
And from what I've heard, most people flipped to something
like that if the rope started to fall below the knees,
because I don't know if it was, I don't remember
if they said it or not. The rope could not
be above your shoulders or below your knees, right, who
had to be like in that section? And that's what
tripped a lot of people up is if they weren't
sync with their partner, they would have a lot of
like ropes just loose near their ankles. And so that's

(15:30):
why people started rolling, because they could choose where it
went on their bodies.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
When you were selecting your partner, Luigi, did you go
and say do you get motion sickness or not? Because
if you do, this is not going to be it.
I would like to be with somebody else, please.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
So the partner that I always worked with on the
duel Is. Unfortunately my girl Tori was not there, so
I was kind of scrambling to find a partner. And
it's not like anybody was running up to me to
be like, oh my god, I want you with my partner.
So I was kind of looking for somebody that had
the same body stature as me, like height and proportions.
I just thought it would make more sense. So I

(16:09):
did find Miranda, and it didn't dawn on me to ask,
like do you get motion sick or like, I don't know,
because I just knew like Miranda was like a fighter,
and I knew like she was gonna give her all
no matter what. So I didn't even cross my mind.
And after we finished, she literally told me she's like
I get so sick from spinning. And I was like,
I was like, oh god, It's like how did I

(16:30):
not ask this?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Like how did I not?

Speaker 3 (16:33):
I mean, granted I don't love to spin either, but
like I can do it.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Didn't she make a comment like I didn't want to
tell you before?

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, She's like, yeah, I didn't want to tell you,
And I was like the fuck. I'm like, oh my god, Honestly,
I probably would have still wet with her anyway, because
again I wanted somebody that was kind of my height
and body type. I just thought it made more sense
for the challenge, as opposed to going with somebody that
might have been like way taller or just larger in
stature like that didn't make sense in my mind. So

(17:03):
I was fine. You know, I was happy with my partner,
and I knew she was gonna give her all no
matter what.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Which that's actually something.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Me and Tommy were together again, and once we started wrapping,
like me getting roud, we realized of the height and
like with differences of our bodies is going to throw
things off. So we were able to strategize right before
we started, because our whole plan was to meet eyes
every single time that we would do one circle together.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
But we realized a circle for me is bigger than
a circle for him. So we would do it a
few times and then he would catch up and I
would just stand and wait. And then eventually when he
caught up, when he sput it, it pulled me because
it had to to get more rope. And so that
was just a system of him going and then me
stopping a little bit, and then him going, but there

(17:48):
was ways around it. You just had to be aware
that that was a potential hindrance to you.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Which is why I believe James and Professor Steff had
a huge issue just be because it just wasn't it
wasn't matching up to begin with, and then as you said,
it was getting below James's.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Knee and all that.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
So that's why the rolling technique started getting It's it's
a tough challenge in general. Was anyone getting sick mid challenge?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Do we know?

Speaker 4 (18:15):
I think most people were feeling it, but they were like,
I'm going to fight through, yes, And it was.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Most like when it ended that people were like, oh
my god, I'm not well because I.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Also think the adrenaline in the moment You're like, I'm
not going to lose because I threw up spitting, Like
I will spin and then I'll throw up.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, So you just can't help it though, right It's
you see an amusement park rides, it's just you know,
we're not getting to the end of the ride.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, which is funny because I love amusement park rides,
like I'm a crazy roller coaster and ride person, but
like this is just different.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
It was also the end of the night, it was,
and we were all already tired.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, and so it just was like, of course we're
doing this like Spinny Dizzy physical game.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
As our last game of the night at like ten
eleven PM.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
We're already like delirious. So it was just an interesting
it was. I loved it. I thought it was so fun.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Also, as we were picking partners, Seth actually was the
only person who asked me to be his partner, and
I had to kindly like decline because I was like,
I just don't think it's a good fit because of
our height and our stature. I'm like, I just don't
think it's gonna work. And I felt bad, but I
was like, you know, I have to go with somebody
that I just makes sense for me in my head.

(19:29):
So and we saw how that turned out, unfortunately.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
And I think this was the first time that a
lot of people had lost kind of their original partners.
I remember this one being the more like scrambly one
of like picking, especially because a lot of people, if
your partner was still there, you just stuck with them
because you were comfortable with it. And you had a
lot of people like Luigi who was the first time
without his like main partner that he would use, so
it was like, oh no.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
I know.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I was like, God, I'm a crap. I'm like, who
do I Who do I go with? Because I know,
like I would have if Tory was still in the game,
I would have one hundred percent paired up with her
and it just would have made sense, even stats are wise.
So yeah, definitely there was definitely more of a scramble
I think for this one, and you know you're getting closer,
you know, to that money right to the end, and
so you're like, I need to make a smart decision

(20:11):
I'm going to work with and.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
This one, I think, out of the ones we've done
so far, yeah, I think this was probably the one
that like really took a like balance and technique and
a level of like awareness and like strategy to the
game that you were like, I need someone who is
like aware of all of these things in order to
succeed in this one.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
It was a tough one and also just a tough
elimination in general because obviously no one wants to see
either one of them go. But James, I have to
hand it to James. James played really well, great game
fun person to watch, and you know, there's not a
person that disliked James.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Of course, I think everyone in that room will say
that was probably one of the saddest things to watch
we all have to watch.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Not only does everybody, you know, everybody loved both of them. Right,
he felt so bad and then like having to see
him like suffer like that, right and like him he
was like past it. I was just it just wasn't
a great thing to watch. We all felt really bad.
But you know, he fought really hard, so he gave
it us all.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
Yeah, and I was gonna say, you could tell that
he put in his all because of the way it
went out, So it's like, yeah, you got to be
proud of him for that, Like he really did, and
he did it.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
He finished it.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
They both they both finished pretty close to each other,
so it was a very tight, very tight race. They
both gave him let me tell you doing it a
second time. Kudos to them because couldn't be me that edit.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Was accurate, like they actually I remember alloys kind of
being like I actually don't know which one like in
the moment.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
It was right, And they also both picked really great
partners that I believed helped get them through it as well,
so they couldn't have made a better decision on that
aspect of it all. But as for a television standpoint,
seeing how close that was, I mean, it was only fitting,
especially for two really likable people. Yeah, so let's hit

(22:04):
the bubble wrap. I'm gonna save my opinion until we
get to the end of the segment because I I
have a question and I think maybe you know what
my question could be.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
But they're just the same question that people have been
texting me as they're catching up on the episode. I'm like, yikes, okay, oh,
I have a take.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
So why don't we talk about this in general? Y'all
hit it off.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
I was bottom six for this one, Like I mean it,
This was one that if you took the wrong strategy
to begin with, it set you back so far.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
It was a lot of bubble wrap. Like I don't
know if you can really tell.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
It was thirty. It was a lot, and it was
a It was not a big tube. No, it was skinny.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
But my original strategy was I was like, I'm gonna
pop it all and then if I roll it up,
really finis should go in.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
That was not this was a game of tearing, like
it really was. How you had to do it.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
I mean, I tried my best to burst as many
of the bubbles as I could, but that was taking
a really long time. It got to a point where
I was looking around and so many people were like
finishing that. I said, Okay, I gotta just like start
stuffing it into this container. And luckily, like I had,
I have small and like skinny arms, so I was
actually able to fit my entire arm and I was
into the tube. So I was like punching it down

(23:27):
like as with all my might. You know, into that too.
What I don't think it is shown is that as
we were tearing it right to make it smaller, little
specks of the bubble wrap were kind of getting on
the floor. The reps were being real sticklers and I
was and they were like pointing to the floor and
I'm like, what are you even looking at? Like I

(23:47):
don't even see anything like and then it's like sticking
to like you know, your pants or like your shirt,
and You're like what I mean when I say the
tinyest spects. They were being such sticklers about it, and
it got to the point where, like I was getting
mad and fresh because I said, well, how do you
know that that's not the person next to me because
they're flapping.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Their bubble wrap around.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Everyone was running back and by the end, I don't
know how this worked out, most of the people that
were in that like bottom group were all in the
back and so we we there's just like little plastic
fragments all onwards, and we were literally like when they run,
they move, yes, I mean it. At one point my
ref looked at me and there was something on the
ground and she goes, I don't know what that is,
but you might as well pick it up, and I

(24:27):
was like, yeah, yeah, because we those like I don't.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Know how far down were you?

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Why do I feel like I was right next to you?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
No, I was next to carl Maria because me and
Carmeria literallyach because we were but there's a shot with
remember there's a shot.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I'm like putting the bubble wp in.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
You're like you're like, okay, yeah, but like I.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Remember the same thing.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
I remember.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Putting my lid on and the ref came and she
was like or he, I don't know whoever it was,
and they were like, oh, what's that on the floor?
Is that yours. And I looked down and it was
in between and the person, and I said, well, I
don't know, and I was like, you know what, I
was like, I'll take it anyway. So I just grabbed
it and I put it in. I said, I don't
know what to tell you, like, how do I know
if that's mine?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Or it got to a point where I probably called
check six times.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
And they would also only show you one piece at
a time if they thought that you would piece around you.
They wouldn't be like, look at these multiply. They would
be like they would go down on the ground point
to a tiny piece on the floor and when I said,
tell me, like you couldn't see it, and then you'd
pick it up and then they would be like and
they go point out.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
And I ended up taking my jean jacket off because
I didn't know if things were like stuck to me
and they were like just be So I literally took
it off at one point and shook it off because
I'm like, I'm so tired of them being like, oh no,
not quite and I'm.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Like, especially because me when you tear bubble wrap too,
like that's the material it is, it kind of falls
a little bit and I get like pieces that are sizable,
but with the pieces they were calling us they were specs.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
And now that's what happened at the end with Gianna
and Colin right like had all little specs and they
were being really annoying about it.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Like we said earlier, the strategy was a tearing game.
Like you had to tear and then like smash those
like smaller pieces in your hands. And then thankfully the
tube did open for both sides, so I would put
both like fists in like one and just keeps inside
because I was like, I just need the space. And
I was like, wait, this is really helping. I was,

(26:22):
and so then I just kept doing it and I
eventually got it.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I did it in little, in little stages. So I
punched down or stepped on a bunch of it, punched
it into the thing, grabbed my next piece, did that,
and I just kept going on to a little off.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah that's wild, just the tiny little specs. Because as
y'all said, how do you not know it didn't come
from the person next to me, or didn't fly off
someone's clothing that ran by me after they were safe.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
I would be so or it is up to somebody's
shoe as they like ran by, and then it like
they left it at your station, like how do you know?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
All?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
That frustrated me so much.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
It also was annoying because about probably the first half
the people that finished, none of them like had to
do that like they were if you talked, they weren't
being called on these tiny specks. It was just the
people in the end because that's where they could really
see the floor and everything had blown by, and it
was like almost were very aware of that, and everyone,
even the people that were safe for like what is

(27:16):
this like? It was like torturous to watch almost.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I wanted to get to my question the colin still
want to be there? Or where was the sense of urgency.
I'm just I'm just I'm just laying out there as
we're watching it on the screen. I felt as though
the urgency was lacking and we were spending too much
time arguing with the family versus paying attention to the
task at hand. Y'all give me your opinion on that,

(27:42):
because you were there, But I'm just saying, as someone
watching it and other people that asked me about it,
I said I would ask this question.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Go ahead, David, I don't know what to say entirely
because okay, okay, so there wash Shore, I'll say it.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Why not.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
There was a rumor going around that his job had
told him that they needed him back and that like
if he didn't come back, like he would be fired.
So from what we were from what we were told
that it needed to happen that day, like and that

(28:24):
was the game that it was claimed to happen on,
like the the family themselves that were still in the
game said this to us.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
After the fact.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
In the moment, I'll be honest, like, I love Gianna,
that's my girl. So I was literally hyper focused on
her and just like cheering her on to get it.
I really was not paying attention to really what Colin
was doing, so I didn't really see that until I
saw it on my TV screen watching with everybody else.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
I was also right in front of Ganna. I would
look over just to be like, how and it was
what says, I didn't know what he was doing because
it was odd.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Well, it seemed like he kept pulling it back out.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's what I was just about to say.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
He would get really close and then he would have
like a peace left and he'd be like, oh, it
doesn't fit, and then it.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Would take it all out and like and it was.
It was weird.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
I never got any like confirmation from Colin himself or
anything like that, but that's what the family.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
That's what the family told Gianna specifically.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Right, but they're yelling put the lid on, put the
lid on, and the lid is not going on. Why
are we not going for a check?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Here?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Is I just.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Because I've had people ask me the same thing, and
I said, there's a world in which the family didn't
agree with Colin's decision to do that, so they were
still like, just put the lid on.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
That.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
I was like, I cause it is because they are
screaming and he doesn't touch the lid from what he
had of show, like right, and I it's it is
a weird watch. Like it really is weird.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
It was a very weird watch. That's why I said.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I would ask a lot of people asking me like
did he just give up? And I was like, oh,
I don't know. I'm like I don't know the answer
to this.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
I don't think it was a matter of like not
wanting to be there. I think it was a I
like my job needed me, I.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Would have made a different decision.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
If that is the case, that would not have been
my decision either. But I also can't speak entirely as
to what the thought process was there or like what
actually happened. I don't think any of us will know
what his thought process was. I love Colin too, Like
I thought he was great at that game.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Like he was.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
He was calm and like collected and was kind of
constantly like middle to upper tier in all of those games,
like he was a he was a threat. So I
was not mad necessarily to see him go from a
game perspective like at all. I was like because he
was doing really well. And I think that's all there
really is to.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
People just have to make the decision what's best for them.
And we have to also know y'all had a different
scenario than typical other shows. Other shows, you do not
normally have a device to go back to. You're not
communicating with other people when filming's done for the day typically,
So it's just a different environment as a whole.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Yeah, agree, which does change things like that, Like that
makes that sort of a scenario a real thing, Like
because a lot of people were working, they would go
back to the hotnelm and they would like pull out
their computers and do things for work, Like it was.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
I check my work email every day when I got
back to the room.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, Like it wasn't like people fully disconnected.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
And that makes doing again like this hard, especially because
if people don't really know what you're doing, because we
weren't supposed to be telling people what we were doing,
Like it's hard to explain to them that you don't
know when you're going to be back and things like that.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
So ye, it's a difficult situation.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Definitely. I feel as though you would rather just have
everything taken away from you so you don't have to
think about it. Because I believe it or not, I
bet it's still an element of the game because you're
going back to still the constant. I can see a device,
I can go on a computer, whereas other people they
don't have those distractions. Some people had their families down there,

(32:17):
had significant others, loved ones, you know what I mean.
There's distractions there. You can't just solely focus on yourself.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Nope, I completely agree. I will out there though. Gianna
is a fighter.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
And she won that like, oh yeah, no, doubt. I'm
not discribing that whatsoever. I just was curious if he
still wanted it or not.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
She thought, and she was. She was kind of upset
like that that rumor was going around because she was like, I.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Put in the work and I'm like, yeah, yeah, definitely,
So like she.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Killed that just didn't give up.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
No, never, No, She's a fighter for sure.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
When I was talking to her and she was like
I had accepted defeat, she was like the way it
was going because I mean when I finished, STY looked
over at her and she still had a lot and
I was in the bottom. So I was like, oh, well,
because me and her kind of had to we both
had to restart. Like we both kind of were like, oh,
we are so down back, like the strategy is not working.
We both kind of had that same thought to you.

(33:15):
I watched her do the same thing I was doing
and then we restarted. But she, I mean, she is
a fighter.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
She always finds a way to get the job done.
You have to say that because she has been in
a ton of those scenarios where she's in the bottom
portion and she still finds a way to beat somebody.
And that's the name of the game. And so she's
crushing it at it.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I like the definition of that honestly, Like she consistently
like they keep showing and they're like, oh, Gianna's back
in the bottom six and you're like, oh there she goes.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Oh yeah, well let's dive into the tennis ball weave.
And you know what, my very first question is going
to be, did we get a snake or was the
person that was the last captain they got the last
pick every single round yet to guess, I.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Mean, yeah, yeah, they we fought for it this time around,
because every I mean everyone, and what's even like sadder
is that the person that fought for it was Will
Yes on the losing team and they actually like fully
like were like, we hear you, guys, but like we've
said a precedent and we need to keep going with that,

(34:18):
which in a way I do respect because like they
were like, we want to stay true to what we
don't want it and there's like some validity in that.
But like the snake draft would have it's hard to
say if it would have changed the game though, like
you know what I mean, like it, we don't know
if that was a huge because officially the last team
did not lose. I think it was an eight out

(34:41):
of nine, which is near the.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
End, right, but still statistically looking at it, it's it's yeah,
it's right, it's right there in the ballpark. If we're
talking complete last pick on the boat and then we're
talking eight out of nine here, it's it's right there, folks.
And this is why it should showcase that a snake
draft is the way to go for future.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, and we fought.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Everyone kind of was like on that same page of
like this is we all are very aware that this
is how normal drafts go.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
We should be doing this for just the sake of
like fairness, and it did not happen.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Let's dive into the game. You have to utilize the
chicken wire and a ball and have to get it
all the way looped back around. You're on a team
of four in order to do so. There was team captains.
They selected their teams, and so as myself going into this,
I'm thinking, you want people to have small, tiny hands
to be able to get it in there, because if
you have the big hands, it's going to be a

(35:39):
bit tougher. And also I want to ask the structure.
We were finding some people were not tall enough to
get all the way up there, So I just would
think from a design standpoint, they would have taken that
into consideration as well.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
So we actually asked about this, and there was a
reath that was there that I mean, I'm sure, I'm
only five to four, but she was probably like she
was a little like at my shoulder, so she was short.
And they said that they tested it out.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
With her and she was able to do it. So
and I believe it because but I was on my
tippy toes.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yeah, I said, people were on their tippy toes and
so like, officially, yes, they did it, but it was
easier for someone like me to reach the top than
it was for Luigi.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, But I guess it evens out though, because if
there's a height differential, and then there's the hand differential too,
so there's other factors that also play into it. But
I was curious about the design structure.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Of it all.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
What's interesting is I feel like when people were picking
people for their teams, again, I don't really know if
they were thinking about hands, because I was last picked
on my team and I was the only person on
my team that never dropped the ball. I was able
to get it from the bottom all the way to
the top slowly, but I never dropped it once, whereas
almost every other single person there dropped the ball at

(36:59):
some point. So, you know, I don't know what the
strategy was, but my small hands actually.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
It worked in my advantage and my team had.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
I feel like we had small hands, like I have
smaller hands, and Tommy has smaller hands, but then like
Geraldine and Danny have longer fingers. So we had all
that and none of us dropped it either, like we
all just I mean we went straight through. We dropped
at one transition point, but that meant nothing because you
literally would just picked it back up and put it
in the transition point and started from there.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Yeah, but we had I think all three people on
my side dropped it at some point as well. I
had Ronald. You know, Ronald has probably huge hands, I'm assuming,
so it's it's difficult, but I think with that, just
being slow and steady was the key because if you
were trying to rush, because we saw it with Will's team,

(37:48):
you know, when they were starting to get frantic and
they started to rush, they constantly kept dropping it. So yes,
slow and steady, I think for that one was the
was the key.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
To your point about the fingers. Though Tommy actually before
we started was very concerned about hand size. And what's
funny is he actually was like, people with bigger hands
have an advantage of this one. Like he was thinking
the opposite because he was like, they're gonna have an
easier time actually gripping the ball. He was like, I'm
scared that people with like smaller hands, they're they're not
gonna be able to like grip it all the way.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
These things were big enough. I was able to fit
more fingers through the grate exactly. I guess other people
probably couldn't exactly.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
And so it was just honestly, the size of each
of the holes really changed up that game. And the
fact that you couldn't put your hands in holes outside
of the path. If you could have, like because you
could have done it to where the ball had to
stay in the path, but your fingers could go other places,
then I don't think it would have matter because your
hands could have gone all through it. But keeping your
hands in that one little path that is what made

(38:49):
the bigger hands I think a harder thing to.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Use, definitely, And what I appreciated too. With this challenge,
if you dropped, you just had to go back to
that specific segment. You didn't have to start the challenge
completely over because y'all would have been there all night.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Someone from your team just went to the other side,
picked up the ball and I don't know if you
could see on the screen there was like white sections
and the transition point was you had to get to
the top or the bottom of that section, like you
had to hit the top of it, and once you
did that, you were safe.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
So like if it fell at that point, just pick
it up and hands to the next person through the grate.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Absolutely, because there's no other way to do it. You
have to have specific checkpoints otherwise it's just a never
ending game as we see. And the very next challenge
because oh, by golly, that was a doozy house of
cards baby.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
And I think this is one that the general consensus
was fear. Like we you could when they announced those rules,
we all were like you, we knew it was going
to take a while, we knew it was going to
be extremely hard, and we knew it was going to
last a long time, especially when you.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Say or anything that requires that steady hand. I was
not looking forward to because you're already nervous, right, and
it's like pressures on. I don't know about you guys,
but I don't know if I've ever built a house
of cards, Like that's just not something I ever found fun,
nor could I ever do. So I was like, oh,
this is this is not going to be in my wheelhouse.

(40:21):
I was definitely nervous and I was definitely towards the
bottom of the pack on that one.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yeah, and keep in mind these were officially coasters, coasters,
not cards. They were like drink coasters.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
But they were like really thin.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
I feel like they were there, but like sturdy eat
sturdy er.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
I thought it kind of made it harder though in
a way, like they it they fell and they fell.
Oh they fell many many times. This is one of
my absolute favorite games because I finished third and I
don't know how that I I mean, I was scared.
I felt once and it was I was working on
the bottom layer. They just kind of fell over and
then I built step and was done and I did

(41:01):
not At that point, I was.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Like please, like we'll all be here, like this will
be fine. And then I watched that game for.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
I remember sitting there, and I couldn't even get like
two of them to like hold oh for like a while.
And I remember just sitting there. I was just laughing.
I said, this has to be a joke. I said,
there's just no way.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
He spent so much time turned around looking at us,
being like how do I even like he was like
fully like turned around shirt, being like, how do how
do I do this?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Someone?

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Like?

Speaker 3 (41:30):
I remember at one point I yelled, U, I could
not figure out the number, Like I My brain was
so frazzled that I could not remember, like what the
tears were. I'm like, is it three? Is it four?
To two? I my brain I couldn't count, Like I
literally could not count. And I remember turning around I yelling,
I'm like, how many? Like I remember doing a snack
I'm asking. My brain just completely gave out. And then

(41:54):
once I realized that they were starting to stay, I said, okay,
like just take your time and breathe because there's still
a bunch of people left. And then, oh my god,
the placement of those last two.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Well that's why you see the click.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Literally though, I had to take a moment because I yes,
the clip of me is me being like, I have
two cards left, like I used to take a moment.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
And because of course they didn't show up, but I
had the camera guy literally in my face as I
was placing the last two and I was just like, oh,
of all times to be here, Like can you move away?

Speaker 2 (42:26):
When you got to those last two? And you were
like if this falls, and.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
I I was gonna be I was probably just gonna
lose it.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
And what was I forgot about this?

Speaker 4 (42:34):
One of the rules was like if you got it
because some because some people would they would they were
able to build it, but it was not sturdy, and
so they would get it and then it would fall
like you had to get the check. Many people would
have it, raise their hand for the check and it
would fall and it would rebuild it all it'd be pissed.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
They can't the cameras for that.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
But well, what I will say about that, though, is
that was a rule, Like they did tell us that
in the rules, so it wasn't like shocking that that
would encount.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
They were like, and I think it's because they knew
that it was going to be unsturdy, and they were like,
we need to make them, like make sure that they have.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
A sturdy house.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
But yeah, they like because I remember watching Jen specifically,
like right in front of me when I was in
the safe zone.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
She raises her hand and looks back and it's just
like in a heap.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
Yeah, I mean, but like because everyone knew that, no
one like fought it or anything. Everyone just got back
to work.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
They just I.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Remember placing those last ones just like not breathing.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
I was just like, yeah, I mean, like, don't touch
the table like nothing like it was kind of like,
I mean, I think I scootered away from the table
so that I was like, please don't fall, like I
don't want to risk touching it.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Like that room was silent.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Oh, you could hear a pin drop.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
It was so bad, I mean quiet.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
And I will say I made it to the point
of like I didn't have to what's the what am
I looking for? You know how they change about less cards?

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Yeah, yeah, and I will say that it was they
waited so long to change it for that first one,
like they realistically they could have probably changed it earlier
because there was a while where.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Minutes, like you know what, didn't they change it twice?

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Yeah, and they showed, They showed both of them. They
go down to three and then they go down to
two layers.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Okay, brutal challenge, but I mean at least nobody on
your season essentially ate and crumpled up the cards in
a ball like game. Folks, they do the same thing
in that one.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Why did she have it in her mouth?

Speaker 4 (44:40):
I was so Also, I thought I thought I saw
shaky hands on nineteen nine two be she was like,
I mean, like yes, I was like, like crumbling it,
like why are you When then she made the comment
of like I should have told you.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
I'm like, if you're shaking that bad, that should have
been the first thing out of your min if that's
not something you don't know about yourself, Like.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Oh my god, there's no way you don't know that.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Also want me to do two layers?

Speaker 1 (45:06):
So I was like, it wasn't big, but think about it.
They struggled. So many people struggled in the house because
they were sitting there. It's a lot of people. They said,
forty five fifty minutes to build just that section of
the house of cars. But for her, I'm thinking, you
have to know at least that you have some bit

(45:27):
of the shakes in you, and did y'all see Kelly
went worse.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yes, yes, oh, and I love her for it. I
was dying it was so good, so good. No, but
I watched that and there I just don't know how
that is the one that she got put on. There's
five games.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
But I would have never thought to like, I don't know,
I have shaky hands, right, like I just do and
I know that, and then you're nervous and the pressure
it's even worse. Why are you crumbling them?

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Well?

Speaker 3 (45:59):
I don't well, I think I would have helped them,
just like on the side. It's just I don't know.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
I think I think she was trying to bend the
bottoms to give them a platform, but.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
She was so shaky that it was just like, that
is not how you build a house of I mean
it's not. Hey, we and we would know we did it.
That's what.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
That's why I brought it up. But that was such
good TV. Those great.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Forever for that, That's probably the one I would have
volunteered for too, or the last one I.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Would jennyone can do Jaggie and you don't even have
to hit off the foot. The one person hit too
often knee and I was.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Like, yeah, I would do that one or the cup
in the ball anything.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Else out because that one feels like I'm not gonna
do it. I could probably do it too, but I
would feel comfortable with the house. I would not do
gonj no unless you know the game.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
I know. I actually do know the rules.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
I do no clue, but I would be.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Okay. Now I know I'm saying that I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
I know the rules, and if I tried it once
before and I could do it, then I'd be like,
give it to me, like I can do it.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
It isn't just a matter of knowing the rules. Because
it's a weird.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Yeah, and I remember watching I still don't get it,
so I'm.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Like, ah, they changed it for this, so it's not
the same as it is in the drama. They did
make it a bit easier for them because they in
the drama they have to restart completely over and this
they just started off on the one where they dropped
on I see because they would be there for days.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I thought they restarted completely.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I was told that they didn't have to restart completely,
that they could just start on the section that they
dropped from.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
The edit made it look I'm thinking. I'm thinking about
the very first like group that they showed with the girl,
the blonde.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Girl who did it and Queen Sidney, Yes, what's her name?

Speaker 4 (47:45):
It looked from the edit that she kept restarting completely,
but maybe she just never finished the first section.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
She's done the other one section the.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Throwing of the rock or whatever that yeah, yeah, that
one isn't so.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Bad it but listen for a game they did. They
hit the nail on the head with that. They did
really well, and I also enjoyed that they kept at
least three of them in from the drama. But Ganji
was the one I didn't think they were actually going
to do, and that's the one they kept in.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
And it makes me wonder if because now that we've
done a show like, I think more like behind the
scenes things, and I'm like, did they give them the
rules for Ganji, like a demonstration beforehand, because we got
a few demon a few a single demonstration for a game,
just to be like, here's the end product that you're

(48:37):
looking for, because we for irees.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
If they didn't do that, So.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
I asked, somebody that's on the cast that played in
that pentathlon, is how you said?

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (48:49):
And they said that they were not given rules for Ganji,
which I was shocked because I said, I wouldn't wouldn't
even know where to begin.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Okay, then don't.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
I don't know what it is. I've never played it.
I've heard it because I've seen the shows, but I don't.
I wouldn't even know where to begin. So I'm actually
kind of shocked, and they didn't show them.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
They're just ruthless there. But that's what I'm talking about.
That's why Sydney ended up on it because she knew
how to do it, because everyone else was just like
I do, I have no clue. At least if you
know the rules, maybe you can figure it out and
you know how to do it. But that's I still
think it's crazy they don't show them how to do it.
That's just tells you what kind of show that is.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Yeah. When I saw the Pentathlon in like the promo
for it, I was like, this is great. I'm so
excited to doing this. I was like, there's no way
they're doing gon Gi. I was like, that's the one.
I was like, there is no way, and they did.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Yeah, I said the same thing. They made it. They
made it work. But what I've enjoyed is they're bringing
in elements from each season, so we're seeing the season
two ones come into this. You bring the mingles of them.
Mingle is the best.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
My heart watching that. I mean, I felt for them
because I'm like, I understand like what it's like to
be in that sort of pressure. It's like a pressure
cooker and your nerves and it's like the second that
song stops right and the number is spewed out to you,
I think people go into panic moment. Oh yeah, and
you're just kind of like, even though you had a
plan an action, it goes out the windows. Sometimes watching them,

(50:20):
I'm like, I can't even imagine.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
Doing that, especially because every time the number would hit,
it didn't seem like they stopped to gather their numbers.
Everyone just sprinted for doors. And I was like that
is I was like, Oh, they're not like gathering their
five running. They're all just like ant go and.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
I know, oh my god, it's pure chaos. I love it.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
And you had people sneaking into rooms, crawling underneath people
and all that. But if you're quick, I say, just go.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
I would slithered my way into a door, like oh, well.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
Yeah, but the only problem with that is if then
if there's one extra person, you as will all still lose.
So like I was slithered, but I would also keep
it an eye on the number of people in there.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Oh yeah, for sure, but if you know, if only,
if you've seen only two people going, you know the
number seven, just you're go in there, Yes, the start going,
you're you're also. But even so, which was crazy the
guy Trinity being held in a room and not.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Being able to get I act he wanted to go.
I would have been like, are you out of your mind? Well,
I would have been like, hold this man down, you
were not going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
I would have too, But I actually don't blame him
for that, because they if he left the other group,
it wasn't like it was there was a question if
the other group had the numbers, if he left, they
would have had the correction. Yes, So I was like,
if your friend, if someone who will keep you in
this game socially is there, like I don't. I don't
blame him for like trying, but I also definitely keeping

(51:44):
him in there.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
I do think there should be a rule out once
you close and lock the door, like that's it like
there's I don't think you should be able to like
escape or get out. I feel like once you're in
and it's locked.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
The fun to it. The fact that people can do
that is exciting.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
It did make it fun because they were counting some
we have one too many people, Oh my goodness, we're
missing one. And that was the round where Vanessa player
seventeen was able to sneak and she leaves her entire
alliance because she's thinking, I'm out, and so then you
it's off to the races to get in the door.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
I would have done the same thing.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
You have to all the coaster that I was watching it,
I was like she probably was like I'm gone, I'm in. Yeah,
Oh so good.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
It's so good. I love it.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
We'll have to talk about the next batch of episode.
We'll we will make this work for sure, yes, but
