Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, everybody, Welcome back to another episode of the Challenge podcast,
all about the Challenge as always.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I am Brian sitting in his home I don't know,
trying to start the challenge on his TV but being unsuccessful.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm failing at it. I'll have to do this at play.
It's not working out.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
We're talking to the woman that he met at the
dating thing last week?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Can you believe it?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Shock?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Believe it? Shocking? One date and she's still talking to.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Me, and then just back from the airport where she
was up in our state, two and a half hours away,
and neither one of us cared to drive up to
talk to her.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
I wouldn't have had the time anyway. Carl and san Diego.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Head over to challenge pot dot com. Joined the Facebook group.
You can also join Patreon. We'll get into it later.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yeah, and I don't care either.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Also, Emily, I'm I am. I'm so ready for you
if you if you'd like. I don't think she listens
anymore to paying every month, so you know.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
True?

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Hey, Season forty one, episode ten, are we here? We'll fee?
Can I do this now in our minds? No? Just
can we go back to yesterday in our minds, Yes,
I'm there. This one's called a war brewing. So they're
walking back to the house. As they do, Sydney gives

(01:44):
a little talking head. She's happy that she's got Turbo,
and she kind of goes down all of the other
teams in their threat levels, which I thought was kind
of funny. At the bottom of her list is Johnny
and Gabe, and she just kind of laughs at the
team of Johnny and Gabe. As they're walking into the house,
Johnny tries to talk to Gabe and she says something like, hey,
do you want to talk And Gabe looks at are

(02:06):
like about what it was a weird exchange, Like, it's
clear what you want to talk about here? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, he's this episode was an asshole.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Gabe's a dick.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
He at one point in time says when he's referenced,
I think it's another like two or three minutes on
from this, he says something along the lines of like,
none of the VET women ever gave me the respect
that I feel like I deserve.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, and it.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Was like, okay, but you also have never given the
respect that they do actually deserve in this game because
you're you're a rookie. They're all vets. You've never given
any of them the respect that they deserve. The fuck
do you think that they're going to give you respect
for when you've just been an asshole this whole time?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, he has no real self awareness. I really don't
like Gabe, but when he's on the screen, I just
don't like. I just don't care for him.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
We had one episode where he where we all liked him,
and it was when he went into elimination and just
beast moded that elimination and that was it. Yeah, and
that was probably why we all liked in that episode.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
We get a lot of people talking about these permanent
teams and how these teams are going to fit into
the larger alliances, and they have these breakdowns. I mean,
it's showing on the screen right behind us now of
like a super alliance and like a closet alliance and
the like all these other different types of alliances, and
I don't know, it's all very confusing to me and
I really don't care. But the point is that some

(03:34):
of these partners are cross allianced. Some of those are
like Olivia and Will, They're typically on different alliances, but
they're partnered, and yeah, that's kind of where this is at. Now,
what's the weirdest pair to you, guys, like the most
beneficial pair? I don't know, I don't remember, Okay, I think.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Will and Olivia is probably the most the most at
odds pair.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, but that's good though, in this situation, right, because
they're both in big alliances. Yeah, so they both you know,
they have reason to keep that team. But I agree
that they're the most conflicted. I guess. Yeah, Johnny is
trying to stay positive, but she's not. It's clear every
time they ask her about her partner, she talks with
like great reservation. Even though she's saying nice things. You

(04:29):
can tell she's not buying it for herself.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, she's definitely not buying it. He's definitely not like
he's That's the thing. Like she she really does seem
to be giving this the good old college tribe of like,
let me attempt to be okay with this partnership, even
though neither of us really wanted this partnership to happen.

(04:53):
I mean, she at least seems to be trying with it,
and he just could not give a the flying fuck.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yes, she is trying, and it's a little try hard.
You know. She was saying, like I'll give everything I
can on the field out there. I want you to
do the same. It was a little try hard, but
it was some like she's trying, like she is like
making an attempt here.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, And I mean sometimes you just have to fake
it until you make it. It's the whole like put
a smile on your face and you might actually feel better.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
But and I mean if you just sat there and
went around the house like this fucking sucks, then yeah,
it's really gonna suck. You're just bringing your whole mood
down even more than it already is because you're not
putting anything good into the atmosphere.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Yeah, it meant her for even attempting to try to
make it feel good. Make yourself feel better about this, But.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I do too.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I actually gained some respect for john A. I mean,
she's not happy, but she's trying. She really is, Like
he's making an effort here.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
There was a full robot on.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
YouTube robot oh fuck in my back.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
And he's frozen.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Robot another fucker uh and his.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Video is frozen and everything great.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Can you hear you? You can hear you.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I know we can hear you, but you're you're robot
it out.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, well great, um video videos back, turn your video off.
The button is like xed out. I can't, It's like
great out. Okay, Well we keep going and hope that
doesn't have.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
To I also only watched this three hours ago. I
watched it right before I boarded my plane and still
only remember bits and pieces.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Lots it have worked today. Nice.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to find a new time to
watch it because I'm not gonna be able to watch
it at work anymore because I just have to do work.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
You got a big, big girl job, now.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, it's not I'd go to work and just fuck
around all day because no one actually gives.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
You all Right, is there anything where.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Were we we were talking about? Okay, we were talking
about them being back in the house, Gabe being an
asshole with John. Ah notes uh, he says, uh.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Mikayla is so excited to have Cedric as a partner.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, she does seem very excited about that.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Mikhayla also says there's a war and it's the Closet
Alliance versus everyone else. She's everyone else.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. This is the first time that
we hear about the Super Alliance. It's the first time
that's mentioned. We hadn't we hadn't heard about the Super
Alliance before. Hmm. I mean, I guess it makes sense
because it is basically the rest of the House against

(07:59):
m Olivia and THEO and the other Brits. But then
we're pretty quickly into the into the challenge, right, we're
not there yet.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
First, everybody is sitting around in their rooms and their
specifically talking team names.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Oh that's right, and.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
CT comes up with which is pretty good. Yeah uh.
And then they say Gabe and is is Ghane? It
sounds like an.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
STD gone aria.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
But then, I mean, to Gabe's credit, he does say
something along the lines of like yeah, but that means
that we're gonna be sticking around because he can't get
rid of that ship, which I found pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
It was another time that I actually liked Gabe for
a second. Yeah, he was not taking things too seriously
and having fun and that was weird to see.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yep, because the rest of the show he takes things
too seriously.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, all right, we are back into the Ashley and
Nanny situation. Talking about the Ashley thinks her fight with
Anissa put a target on her butt because she's paired
of Leo, that will kind of help keep her safe.
We'll get more into that argument later, but they were
touched on it there for a second, and that that
we're under the challenge all right. As they're walking up,

(09:30):
Dee says that Derek can be controlled, which ends up
being true. This episode proves that she's right. But I
don't like how she said it. That annoyed me. Yeah,
and something about how he doesn't have enough political or
social capital but she can help with that. I don't
know this. This bugged me? Did it bug you guys?

Speaker 4 (09:48):
I honestly I think I missed this at this point
in time because I was I don't remember her saying that.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
But all right, we.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
She bugs me.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yes, he is way more annoying on the Challenge than
she was on Survivor, like super super way more now.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
She's way more annoying than she was even just a
few episodes ago.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
That might be true to I've noticed that too.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
It seems like when people come from other shows that
we've seen before, they get super annoying. Yeah, like FESSI
was pretty good on his season A Big Brother.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I mean to be fair, his first season, his first
season on the challenge. I liked him, but he was
also very quiet.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, yeah, he's an introvert.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
I was about to say that the lame it's so good.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well, this challenge is called fast Thinking. We'll see how
do you play it?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
So it's trivia, but you have to be on a
StairMaster and you're not allowed to hold on to it
with your hands. You have an iPad on the staremaster.
TJ asked questions. You have to put the letter for
which answer you think it is. In Every answer you
get wrong, your StairMaster will start to speed up. Carlin's

(11:07):
got a condom dog.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah, but look it's two different colors. It's purple on
this side and it's blue and green on that side.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
It's adorable.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
See what it's just focused on for this episode.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I am listening.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I do, actually, bitch, you're supposed to be speaking, not listening.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
I speak more than probably all you find.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Good pint. All right, so right out the gate. We've
been on these fucking staremaster things for ten seconds and
CT can't do it. That's another fucking thing. CT can't do.
I mean, what's up?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Giant clown feet just PLoP it here? What's going up?

Speaker 4 (11:49):
That man was way too big for that machine. That
machine looked like a toy with him on it.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, but counterpoint, THEO did better than THEO did fine
on this, Gabe did all right. Why couldn't CT do
even one fucking questions?

Speaker 4 (12:04):
We do wonder if CT's feet really are just that
much made.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
They can't be. They can't be that that explanation makes No,
he doesn't wear size eighteen shoes.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
He seemed to not be able to figure out his
rhythm or anything. Yeah, he just he failed so miserably
on this.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I think it was not being able to steady himself
is the big problem. Yeah, Gabe has big feet, but
that dude's like in super athletic shape. Yeah, and as
a professional wrestler has to be on his feet.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
We're stable, Which is insane because we've we've always kind
of said that CT is this very nimble person, which
we have definitely seen him be super nimble before.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
But yeah, even he just.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
The weight that he's currently carrying in this season just
seems to have screwed him royally.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yep. Between the weight. Maybe it's the PTSD Heights over
water situation. Who knows, but yes, another choke, another fail
by sea.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
That big of a deal for the last season when
he fell, Yeah, like I think they he from my perspective,
from what I remember, it seems like he maybe had
the wind knocked out of him a little bit.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, but they kind of checked him over and he
was fine. Yeah, So it didn't seem like that big
of a deal. And now suddenly it's like a gate
even get on a stand master freaking out.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, it seems very strange.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, well it's just another like, uh, you know, one
of the greatest has fallen. You know, it's like we've
seen him perform so so well for so long and
now this season's just he can't do anything.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, he can't get his ship together this season at all.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, it's kind of sad. So ctdq's you got zero,
not even one.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, they didn't even get a question out, right, or
did he Did they get the first one? I don't
I can't remember they get the first question out to him?
Or did he jump before then?

Speaker 3 (13:57):
I have no idea, don't recall. I don't remember. Anissa
is next off. She surprised me. I didn't expect that
she would do too too well because it's the StairMaster,
but I thought she'd do better than this. She only
got one right.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Yeah, because she's usually really good at trivia.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, I remember her to get three or four right
in a row and then fall off for something. I
don't know. It surprised me that she only got one.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Well. I think the thing that really surprised me is
that in all three heats, I don't think there was
a single person who actually fell who like lost there
it was just going too fast for them or lost
their bounce and actually fell. Everybody either jumped or like
purposely kind of like fell backwards, but they fell backwards
on purpose, not fall because they've lost their balance or whatnot.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
If Anissa says at one point, I'm hitting stopped, so
they must have told him don't fall off, like hit
the stop button before you fall, or you know, for safety,
or who knows. Nanny says she sucks at trivia, but
she's awesome at stair climbing, so she's the.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Only thing she does at the gym.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, which I liked this part of this trivia thing,
which is it was a good combination of like of
like knowledge and physicality of like if you as long
as you're good at the StairMaster, you can actually get
a pretty high score. Or you just have to stay fast,
you know, through the plug ahead that through the wrong one.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
It was honestly, it was kind of like a It
was kind of like a carnival game.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, Adrian and Turbo are next off they get two each.
Leo and Will are next, they get three each, and
then Nonnie fell off after them but only got two.
So she was one of those that just could truck
past bad answers. And that was Heat one heat too.

(15:43):
We get Gabe with his big like fo FuMB as
MICHAELA said, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
He's shaking the whole the whole Heights above water apparatus
because she's sitting there freaking out at one point in
time like what's this, what's going on, which was kind
of prising to see from her.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, I don't think she likes the heights. You saw
her at the end too, when she jumped in the water.
She's kind of freaked out about it. Yeah, so that
was that. What else, Oh, this is where John A
dropped the tablet. That was kind of that was kind
of funny.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
It was funny. I don't know that I entirely agree
with her being dqued because of that, because it's like,
that's not really her fault. That's a production didn't get
that thing attached properly type of thing.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
She wasn't supposed to use her hands on stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
I realized that as as I was saying that, I
ignore what I just said.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, it was funny to watch her stumble with that thing,
pick it up. Yeah, that was great. So she got decued.
Next off was Gabe. He ended up getting one, so
even though he's bigger, he did better than ct Olivia
shockingly got five. Justin stayed on for a long time

(16:58):
but got zero. I know zero. He's so dumb. I
didn't think he was going to be dumb. He said
at the beginning of the trivia that he was dumb.
But he doesn't look like a dumb guy, and he
sounds smart. I don't know. I just didn't think he
would do so poorly.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
He sounds confident. I don't know if he sounds smart
because he's This is like the second or third time
where we've had things that have required some knowledge base
and he's been like, yeah, I'm not I'm not going
to be any good at this.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah, right, What.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Did you guys think of the actual questions?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
I thought they were good. Some of them I didn't.
I got screwed on some of them.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yeah, I was surprised, Like some of them were legit
hard I there were a few that I was like,
I don't know what the answer to this question is.
And normally every.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Single one twenty first century? Did you know twenty first century?

Speaker 4 (17:44):
I did, Yeah, that's two thousand and one, right, I.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Didn't start till the next one.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I didn't. I thought it was two thousand. I would
have got that one on too. I think only one
person got that one, right, Yeah, it was just Mikaylams
just so smart.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
But like the what Google's name before it was Google?
I came back rub or something like that. I did
not know that.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I didn't know that weirdly, and like I was like
in the end of the tech in that that. Yeah,
I didn't know that one either.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
I knew the the Murray Curie one, though she was
also the first woman to win two Nobel Prizes.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Interesting, yep, all right, so just physics, I believe, well,
just it was zero the opposite of of her.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah, Chris says they seemed harder than usual.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
I agree, and also like sort of like there was
math and history, like there was all sorts of like.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yes, it was. It was a good mix of everything.
It wasn't like a bunch of shit about the challenge
or whatnot. It was it was nice to see it
about like actual trivia.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah, next was a viv Off she got eight or sorry,
she got nine. Derek was after her and got eight.
So Derek was another one that just sort of like
kept trucking and could keep up through the wrong answers
enough to get eight. Derek fucking rocks this trivia challenge.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
That Derek got eight.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, it is. He's really dumb.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Dumb, yeah, dumbest on a lot of those and just
happened to get it right or he somehow got a
partner someone to tell him the answer. I don't really know.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
I think he just stayed on that StairMaster threw a
bunch of wrong answers.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah, it was what twenty one questions or something like
that per round, Yeah it was twenty one.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well, this heat comes down to Mikayla and year me.
They are the last ones up. There and they do
like a weird negotiation. I'm not sure why, but he
was just sort of like, what are you doing? Do
you want to win? And she said yeah, and so
he jumped off.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
And the way that she said it, she like it
convinces it. She really wanted that one.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah. Oh yeah, she wasn't going to stop, like, yeah,
she was gonna keep going. Yeah. Is that her up
there right now?

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Uh that Yeah, it's her and Gabe. Your situation going on.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
It's actually ahead of the show.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Amazing, Chris says, Derek has high a tribute to Luck.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, that's what means.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, it's probably a lot of guessing.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Because he's a tiny little len.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Uh So Mikayla ends up with twelve twelve points heat
three tay d qes I don't remember why or how
do you guys remember that she.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Kept touching the screen or she's like grabbing the same
thing as CT.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
All right, so she's out. So they are obviously the worst.
No redemption to them. Next up is Jake ended up
with one Leroy, Poor Leroy. This fucking guy. He looked
like the oldest manners seeing him there hobbling around.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Oh good, ry Mouth just trying trying to like honch Over.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
It was funny, but uh.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Said, Leroy is gonna do what LeRoy's gotta do. He
just stay honestly, that's right.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
And Lero ended up with four, so you know, that's
actually pretty good for Leroy and a trivia challenge that
is not the worst we've ever seene I actually only
got two. I thought Ashley was smart, is actually not smart.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Actually she's good at puzzles. I don't know that she's
actually smart.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
She's not good at common sense trivia. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know why I thought she was. I thought she
was good at trivia, but I.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Think we attribute her to being the puzzle queen. Yeah,
but yeah, I don't. I don't or a puzzle queen.
I don't think that she's good on the yeah, on
the actual like trivia knowledge trivia, especially when it requires
her to work under pressure while doing other things like
she already has trouble doing puzzles under pressure, so watching

(21:40):
her do trivia under pressure was pretty entertaining.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah. I did poorly after her was THEO with four
and then D with five. Uh, Cedric came in with six,
so Cedric did really well too, and by the way.
I fucking love Cedric.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
He's just fun on the Cedric train.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Now. Yeah, it's just like he's so like just got
a fun energy. Like he's just like, oh my god,
I good spirit. Guys.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
I was dying when they first started, like before the
challenge even started, and everybody they're kind of like doing
the little pickup scenes and he's like, yeah, I mean
I may not be very good at trivia, but I'm
gonna tell my partner the answer that is technically correct?
Is that a tree? Well, it's sure shit, ain't it good?
I was dying. I thought that was so fucking funny. Yeah.

(22:31):
People sitting there next to me waiting for our airplane, like,
what is happening? Why is this woman just like tackling?

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, he's funny. Yeah, he's just got a good energy
to him. Did you watch him on Big Brother Wolf? No,
you didn't watch this season? Lover. Well, he three ends
up with Sydney. She's up there all alone, and she
says that she has no idea how many Turbo got right,
and Turbo doesn't know how many he got right, So

(22:58):
she's just gonna get as many shiki and and she
goes the entire thing all by herself and uh ends
up with eleven.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Honestly, if that team does not win this entire fucking thing,
I'm going to be fucking floored.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Sydney and Turbo yeah yeah, uh yeah. For for For
his part, Turbo says that Sydney is a total badass.
She's got the best cardio and the best brain. Yeah,
but she did uh worse than Mikayla. So there's that
she got one one fewer than Michayla. They're both smart,

(23:33):
they're both outstanding competitors, but uh, let's not forget that
Mikayla did better.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
No, Michayla is spectacular. I like it really. I think
it's gonna come down between those two teams to win
this whole thing.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Oh totally. And I have both Michayla and Sydney on
my fantasy league, so yep, so go fuck yourselves. CT
and Tay. They obviously lose, no question about that. But
CT says, well, we've both been in elimination, we've got

(24:08):
the experience. Maybe that we'll do something for us, did
I say? Michaelan says if they win, yeah, okay, they won,
all right? Cool, So we've got Mikayla here talking to
some of the new threats. That's D and yearmy about
who to throw in. D immediately wants THEO and Adrian

(24:30):
and Mikayla sort of is immediately on board with that,
and that sort of starts the THEO Adrian in the
mix conversation.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, I think it's a good choice. I mean, they're
a pretty decent team. They're both on the UK Alliance.
Getting them out would be a huge detriment to Olivia's game.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's one of these that those two being on the
same alliance, I think is I think it works against them.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
I feel like it was a poor choice as part.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I think so too. I think THEO probably knew that too.
But Adrian, you know it is what.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
I feel like, she probably panicked when they were picking
partners and just kind of did the like, uh uh uh, Yeah, he.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Picked the person that you're comfortable with. But in this case,
that's the one you shouldn't go with. You need, you know,
you need an advocate on somebody else's team. All right, club.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Nights, there we go.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
We'll fee where were you looking at my fantasy team
and see how absolutely horrible I'm doing?

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Give me an answer. No, we can't. We can't start
club night unless we get an insa that is better. Weirdly,
I didn't understand how this fit into the episode until
a little later. But we have CT and TA talking

(25:56):
and they're talking about the person that they want to
throw in and they think Leroy in America. Those might
be the best ones. So let's see. Don scare me.
I wasn't ready for those.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
You were complaining last week that he wasn't playing it
for you.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, it was not prepared. They want to see if
they can get the rest of the house to follow
that plan. Did they need to include this in the
episode or is this just trying to get CT some
more airtime?

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Oh? I think it's a little calm, a little columbye.
It Also, it surprised me that he was willing to
throw in Leroy, just because you know, they're both bets.
They've both been around for a fuck ton of time.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
It seems like they were having a conversation like, well,
Leroy is my friend, in America is your friend, so
let's pick that team. And I'm just like, really, yeah,
it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
It was weird, Yeah, and we'll never know. But CT
said something other towards the end of the episode about
like it's my I have some redemption or something. I
need to back up my partner. So I kind of
wonder if she wanted America, and so he thought, all right,
I'll like, I mean, I'll do what I can to
make this happen.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
They did say at one point like in that conversation
like America's probably the closest skill wise to Tay like
skill and size wise, so most likely for her to
be able to beat. Like I can understand hey wanting that.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, it's weird. I don't see Leroy react to this
in any way. He probably didn't, He probably didn't care,
but I would have expected to see a confessional like
I can't believe CT's saying my name, Like what that's
what's that about?

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah? I was a little surprised, like when when they
in the in the nominations later when someone says like, well,
you know, CT wanted Leroy and there wasn't a like,
hold up, what type of conversation? I was a little
surprised by that.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yep, so Olivia and Will are talking and weirdly, I
kind of forgot during this conversation. But these guys, their teammates.
So Olivia is weirdly like throwing out like she's like,
I'm totally wide open for connections and and you know,
I'm not as aligned as I seem like I am.

(28:20):
But she's saying the ship to her partner to Will. Yeah,
so that's weird. I don't know what this conversation is.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
What is she trying to trying to like play though,
Oh I'm not really like i'd be a good person
to be aligned with, Like you should tell Nanny that
she should be aligned with me because I'm losing all
of my alliance and like I'm just a poor little girl.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I do think she was talking to him about like
Nannie and all of them against her.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah, but isn't he gonna do that anywhere? You know it.
Will's gonna protect the tea because it's him too, so
he's going to protect both of them, I would assume. So,
I don't know, this just felt weird.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
I didn't say they were smart players.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe they's just dumb and I'm
I'm smart enough that I think, why are they? Why
are they talking like this doesn't this conversation doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
I think it's Olivia trying to pretend like she I
don't know, like she's smarter than she is, and but
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, I don't know yet. I don't know what this was.
But Olivia throws out maybe Die and Derek are the
names to throw out tonight. That's just also not a
bad selection. I don't think they're sort of they're not
tied majorly to any of these two lines, and I
don't think that one will piss off anybody.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Frankly, no, I think that would have been a pretty
good choice, but it didn't seem to come to anything,
so it would have a.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Better choice considering the outcome. Yeah, true, yep. So we
have Anissa and john A talking and this like, I
hate Anissa this episode and probably forever, but everything she
does bothers me. And the first thing she says to
Johnny is like, hey, sorry, we haven't talked yet, which
makes you think like Anissa hasn't gone to john A

(30:11):
and talked to her in like whatever three weeks or
whatever that they've been in the house.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Johnny's been there for a while now, Like, what do
you mean, sorry, we haven't talked yet, Like she's been
here for quite some time.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Yeah, and then to immediately go from sorrow. We haven't
talked yet too. Oh hey, by the way, isn't Nannie
such a bitch because she didn't stand up for me
enough in the fight that I had with Ashley? It's like,
what the fuck, dude, You're like not gonna talk to
this lady until you're like trying to stir up a
previous fight and like get people on it, like what's
happening with you? And He'sai, You're forty. I don't know.

(30:45):
This is very weird. You guys have any thoughts about
this whole conversation.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
No, they don't disagree with you. And I thought that
this whole thing was ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, all right, well that's it. Then we're back at
the house. Good chat. There we go, Nanni and Anissa talking.
This is the big fight. Uh. I don't know, do
we need to get into blow by blow? Who's right?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't I don't know if something happens that they
didn't show, But I feel like Nanny went from like
zero to ten, like like Nanni was drunk.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, I think that's a big part of it.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Regulated emotions. But yeah, I agree with you. She really
did go from zero to ten, like where the hell
did this come from? And I think that's what Anissa
was reacting to, Like, hold up, I was just saying, like,
you agreed with me the other day that what Ashually
said to me was super below the belt and not okay,
and now you're like, now you're saying that it's not

(31:43):
your problem, which, like I mean, I kind of understood
both sides and that Nanny was trying to, you know,
not get stuck in the middle of this. Yeah, but
also like.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
I think was like, actually didn't do that stuff to me.
I actually didn't say that shit to me, And so
I don't need to hate her on behalf of you.
I think not even sort of like we're not close
enough friends for that, Like if we were best friends,
I would hate her for you.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
But well that makes point of like the next morning
when I went and talked to Ashley and told her
what she said to you was not okay. So it's
it sounds like Nanny has kind of stuck up for Anissa,
but Anissa maybe didn't think that she stuck up enough
for her.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Yeah, I think I think Anissa wants Nanni to take
her side and not be friends with Ashley. Anymore. Yeah,
think she's mad that she's like still talking to Ashley
and still cool with her. My general impression here, which
is understandable.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
But again, literally to go from oh hey to all
of a sudden in her face like screaming, like smacking
her hands together, Nanny was the point Security had to
come over and pull Nannie away. I'm just that seems extreme,
out of kind of nowhere. Like I said, may think

(33:00):
there was more of a ramp up that we just
didn't see in.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
But dude, I think it's probably years where the ramp ups,
like with the Noodle incident, with these same I think
it's just but I think I think these two just simmer,
just simler.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Do you feel like it just kind of shot up
out of nowhere?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah, she did not, certainly went from zero to one
thousand miles an hour right away. But this is this
is what we love about naughty, right, drunk naught.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
The Noodles had to hold her up to get a
picture take.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
That's right, I do it again too. H You mentioned
the wolf. It was a classic fight. Bodyguards came out,
they're busting the fight up and ship. It was great.
Everybody's running, you know, they start yelling, everybody comes running
to watch it, classic the challenge stuff.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
And America, Yeah, honestly, I was really surprised that Anissa
didn't move out of the room like weeks ago did.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Oh, yes, she moved out here. It's like, what took you.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Is still in that room? Like wait a second, what
people were pissed off at you with the whole Olivia
vote like five weeks ago. Why didn't you move out then?

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yeah? Very weird. Uh. I liked the little reactions for
everybody else that was sort of new to the house.
America is not taking it seriously at all. She's just laughing.
She's giggling about it. She's like, I'm so excited to
actually see it in person.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
I would have been in her same fucking shoes. Oh
my god, where's my popcorn?

Speaker 3 (34:37):
This is great.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
To go out this ship for years, Like, I want
to watch it in person.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
It just started on the TV behind him. Oh yeah,
there it is. We're a little head guys. Can you
believe it? Even Jake wants to say of it. They
talked to Jake for a second. He's just like, hey,
I back up my partner, but also it's not my fight. Yeah,
and that's kind of what everybody says, and it's not right.
It's not I think people like Ashley and Anissa. They

(35:03):
like Anissa enough but not enough to hate Ashley for her,
And that's kind of where they are.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Yeah, and like Anissa and Nanni don't seem good enough
friends for Nannie to completely drop Ashley because of what
she said to Anissa.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, yep, I think that's it. Yeah, if they were
besties would be different. But I think I don't think that.
I think she barely likes Anissa. Yeah, so okay, a
pretty nanny does I have exorcism? I don't know what
you actually call this with you when you burn the
ship and like do the smudging the room? Yeah weird?

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Okay, Yeah, and smudges the room of.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Course she does. Yeah, it's a totally logical, normal thing
to do. I do it all the time. Well for you,
you smudge rooms.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
I don't, but I could. Carlin said she's into crystals
and stuff, So I bet.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
She does all not all the time that I do occasionally,
Like I did it when I cleaned my house before
I switched ups, or when I switched jobs and had
my week off.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
You cleaned and then smudged, You cleaned and then smudged.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
I use sage though, and it's I mean, it's really.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Like I clean smudges.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
When I clean, I also clean smudges, the.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Smudges, and then you smudge again. You re smudge.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Yes, you smudge. You're a smudging. Just you set the
intentions for your space and you know totally yeah do
it like, oh yeah, it does mean something being cool.
If it doesn't, then it makes me feel better.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
You ever smudged your mom's house? No, you're not a
mother smudge.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
No are you.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
I've never smudged. I'm not a smudge.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Only D smudged me and will feel only D smudge.
Any smudges are accidental or my children smudge a lot.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
She likes the smudge. I'm not a smudge.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
Yeah, this conversation just evolving.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
It's a very curb your enthusiasm, Okayan of the smudger.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Good.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Really? The next morning, the room has been smudged, and
everybody's waking up and CT and TAY they're in the
they're like reaffirming they're going to try to push for
Leroy and America. CT makes the rounds and like pitches
this to everybody. It was kind of a cool, like
cutscene moment of trying to be political.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
I liked seeing CT actually try to be political because
he didn't do this the last time he went into elimination. Yeah,
so it's nice to be like, oh, hey, look he's here.
He's actually playing the game now.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yes, it was nice to see that.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, I do you like a lot of people's professionals
around here and during the nomination, So I'm just being
like LeRoy's or say anything bad about me, yes, Like
he doesn't really say.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Anybody like, if you're gonna go for Leroy, you better
have a damn good reason because right, like Ley is
such a stand up guy. He's never he's never going
to win. But yeah, it's always so much fun seeing him.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I mean, legit, that's a reason to keep him. Like,
I love him. He's a wonderful guy, and I can
beat him at several things, Like he's the like, of
course you're not gonna send le Ryan when.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
He uh played his last season, Yeah, and he said
he was he was holding nothing back. He was still
a super nice guy. Yeah, he kept being like, I'm
playing for me, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
But I'm not gonna screw my friends over or anybody. Yeah, yeah,
that's Lee. I love him. He's never gonna win.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Ashley and Leo talk. Ashley wants to do Adrian and
Theo uh and, but she knows that's a conflict because
Leo likes Adrian.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Which is this is the first time we've heard that
Leo and Adrian are.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
First I knew of it, and Leoi and one of
his confessionals, She's like, God, just not fair. I have
to pick between the game and my friends. It's like,
uh yeah, bro, Like that's that's what this is. Challenge,
that's what this is. Dude, figure this out. So he's
struggling with it. John A tries to talk to Gabe

(39:21):
this conversation. I just hated Gabe more and more. He
just like shut that ship down. She couldn't say a
fucking syllable. And he's just like, Nope, shut up, Nope,
don't want to talk to you. Why are you saying this?
Very frustrating?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
You really dislike him?

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
More and more every episode is on.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, yeah, I thought this was It was hard to see,
like I'm you know, I'm no john A fan, but
she was trying like she was. She was doing what
she could do here, but he was not receptive. All right,
Well with that, then we're on two nominations. TJ said, Hey,
at no more points. But there is a new twist.

(40:02):
It's called steak acclaim, Carl, And how's it work?

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Uh, stay a claim anyone my understanding, and I might
have this wrong, but anyone who is not uh set
to go into elimination can stake a claim on someone
else's partner if they want to switch partners. So Gabe
could stick a claim on Mikayla, but that person would

(40:29):
then have to battle it out with Mikayla's partner, Cedric,
And if Cedric wins, then.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Just be the two men battle.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yes, it would just be the just be one on
one those two, which TJ also kind of made it
sound like they go away and do this in private.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
That's what the Yeah, that's what I got to So.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Battle it out just the two of them, and then
if Cedric wins, then Gabe and and John Ay are
automatically in the elimination. But if if Gabe wins, then
he gets michaela as his partner, and I assume Cedric
gets John Nay as his partner, and then they go

(41:11):
through the normal voting process like we would in any
other episode. Do we think that were we're actually going
to see this.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
I do think we'll see it.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Maybe seems like Gabe's pretty game to try it out
at some point. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
I also just feel like this might be one of
those like Red Herring things where they put it out
there and then it just never comes to fruition.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Yeah. I think we could see a Jake do it too,
Anissa's partner, Jake. I think Jake might feel like he
could do a lot better than Anissa.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, well, I mean it sounds like somebody tells it.
Maybe Nanny or Olivia tells someone to do it.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Next episode, so yeah, we saw some confessional somebody saying
yeah you should or not a confessional. Yeah, those moments.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Between heard a voiceover, yeah you should.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Think about staking a claim or something like that. Yeah,
So I do I think we'll see it. I guess
we'll see. But yeah, as they kind of pain around
the jury or whatever you call this, uh, everyone looks
kind of shocked. They're like, what are what are we
supposed to do with this information of this stuff? I
was kind of looking around distrustfully, except for Gabe, who
looks like a fucking madman. He's smiling like the cat. Yeah,

(42:25):
it looks like a maniac.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
I forgot to mention every team has one steak your Claim.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
A problem with that. By the way, I have a
problem with the team thing. It should be one person, right,
one player can do it once.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
I couldn't tell if that meant one between the two
of them or one per person.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
It sounds like one between the two. And that's fucked
because if Gabe uses it, that means Johnny can't. And
that's that's fucked for john.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
Ay, right, she has no was that I guess if
if he if they if he loses again loses in
his steak your Claim and then they go to the
elimination and they win and come back, then yeah, john
a has no way to get away from him, right, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah, And that's that's bunk. Yeah, So we'll see if
that ever matters. But that seems shitty. I guess if
the team switched, then I guess you have another Yeah,
use with the team I got who I mean, who
knows how that works.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
It'll be interesting to see how it works. I Also,
we're not quite there yet, but I was kind of
surprised that the the winners of the game, winners of
the challenge, that we don't get to vote.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
Yeah, so weird.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Yeah, but we've now that we've got Staky Clan. You
can continue with your notes.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
They haven't been able to vote all season.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Oh really, their power is just that they get to select.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
The other thing. Yeah, but they had other other things
that they got to choose, and now it doesn't seem
like they get to choose anything, like there's no team
to save or other team to put in with them.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Sure, so the voting thing hasn't changed, true.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
I just I mean, I think I just found it weird,
just because they don't have another benefit.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
They used to go with the people who had already lost.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
Yeah, did they stay there the entire time? I'm just
not noticing.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Now now, Yeah, Mikaela and Cedric sat there the whole time.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
All right, all right, so it's time for everybody else
to vote. I didn't write down everybody's vote. Most go
kind of predictably, but one I thought was interesting was
de and Derek. They go THEO and Adrian even though
Derek doesn't want to, and it is confessional as Derek
is just like, Hey, I don't know what I'm supposed
to do, so I guess I'm just gonna let d

(44:43):
make the calls. Goes back to a d said about
Derek being easy to manipulate, but hate them both hate
both of these players. Now, yeah, I want this team
to go home. Do you guys have any thoughts about this?

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Ashley and Leo sort of have the same problem, but yeah, yeah, yep.
Leo doesn't want to say Adrian because they're besties apparently.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
And yeah, act how much that was brought up on
this episode.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
Yeah, and Adrian, if you say my name, we're not
friends anymore. Adrian. Yeah. Weird, Yeah, very strange. A few
people burn their votes, which is also weird. Sydney and
Turbo burned theirs.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Burning theirs felt very strange. I mean, I guess I
kind of understand it because they don't want to say
either of the other teams, but it still felt very strange.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
It fell strange to me too, especially Sydney, who you'd think,
I don't know, I don't. She doesn't seem the type
to burn. She seems the type to like make a
concerted like point when she has any power at all
to do it that was That was a weird one
to me too, and then yeah, Nissan, John A they
vote for each other since by the time it gets

(45:57):
to them it doesn't matter, and they.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Play When John says her name a, Nissa's face is.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Like yeah, like well she trying to play it up,
and they sort of whisper it to each other and
then they just sort of nod.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Yeah. That may have been a play to the rest
of the house. Maybe I just didn't catch that bit.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter, and it seems
transparent because yeah, I don't know. I don't like when
people do that. I guess I, you know, if the
vote's unimportant, to do whatever you want to do. But
that seems shitty to me too. All right, Well, at
the end of the day, Theo and Adrian, they are
the ones going in, and Adrian calls out, Leo, we've

(46:40):
seen this too, saying like, hey, you should have just
burned your vote. Yeah, and saying like you should have
burned the vote. That would have been a more respectful thing,
and blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
I mean, in all honesty, actually did leave it open
the way that she said that she said, well, I'm
not going to vote for Leroy, and she kind of
paused there, and it felt like a like she was
giving a pause of like, if you throw another name
out here, we could vote them, and Leo just didn't

(47:11):
pick up on what she was putting down.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Oh you look at this, you guys, see this. Look
at this cat. Look at this boy, Look at this boy.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
I find it interesting that they didn't discuss this beforehand.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
It's very cute.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Yes, they should have. Can you can you hear him?

Speaker 4 (47:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Yeah, he's a maniac. He's a maniac. Yeah, he's a Yeah,
he's a he's a crazy cat. Yeah. They should have
talked about a burn vote. They should have like figured
that out beforehand, and they probably could have burned it.
I don't think it would have changed the outcome because
I think one of the other two that burned it
would have switched it to Adriantheo. Maybe I'm old enough.

(47:50):
These like symbolic votes for friendships. I don't give a
shit about them, and they don't mean anything, but I
guess Adrian cares.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's also the fact that
we have watched the show that we know that these
the symbolic votes are dumb, like you're playing a game.
Play the fucking game, Like, yeah, don't get pissed off
when your name has already been said by seven other
people and your friend also happens to say it, because
there's no point in them, you know, screwing their game

(48:20):
just because you just happen to be the person that
everybody's voting in.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Yep, I don't know it just all right. So after
that they're doing the thing, they're like putting on the
jerseys and all that stuff, and Cet says, Hey, I've
won a lot, I've won four out of the last
seven seasons, and I want to prove I still got
this in me. I can still do this. He was
talking with such confidence. He really got me pumped. I
thought he was going to win this. He's a liar though. Yeah.

(48:48):
It was close. Yeah, but with that, we're onto elimination.
It's busting balls. Will see how do you have bust balls? Should?
You're probably a master.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
One player has blindfolded the other one has to like
tell them where to aim using this little ball launcher
so you can crank it up and down and off
to the side or whatever.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
And uh.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Each team has a finite amount of balls and you
have to knock down all your targets, and if everybody
runs out of balls, that it's whoever knocked down the
most targets the fastest, and it's all about communication.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
Yep, cool game. I like this game. This is fun.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
I liked this game too, but I also wish that
we had seen something a bit more physical because it
was ct But that's just me. Chris in the chat
room says, if they did, Anissa and Jenna would be
able to force the tie. I don't know what exactly
it was we were referring.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
To, but oh, throwing away one of the votes, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Yeah, they could have. They could have forced a tie. Oh.
Talking about Sidney says that because THEO is Turbo's brother,
she's okay with not saying their name, but she was
not going to vote for another possible option, le Royan America.
If they did, an Asa John would would be able

(50:21):
to force a tie.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Yeah, those like it doesn't really matter because the jury
counting thing is always really confusing because it's always like
it depends even on the order that they vote, you know,
what they vote and everything. It's like who knows, it's
hard to spreadsheet to decipher it, and I don't care
that much. I took no other notes about this elimination, guys,
because it seemed like it just kind of did what

(50:46):
it did and what it was.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
CT seemed very poor giving direction.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Yeah, take them a minute to figure it out.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
They were shooting balls all over the place. Whereas Adrian
does bring up THEO has been a professional athlete for
some it seems like his coaching ability is maybe more
on point, which I think is a good a good
uh interesting things she noticed from working with them.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Yeah, don't you guys think his depth perception being off
would have made that be like maybe he should be
the blindfold one, you know what I mean? Maybe like
don't you need two eyes to aim like shit like that?
I don't one, So I guess maybe I guess he
didn't good enough.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Have a big problem.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
But yeah, yeah CT.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Once CT finally seemed to get the hang of it,
and they both had different strategies where it seemed like
THEO and Adrian were going, uh knocking down the top
ones and then maybe coming back and trying to hit
the bottom ones, where a CT started off at the
bottom ones and then went up started knocking off the

(51:51):
top ones once he got the hang of it. But
it turns out the amount of balls was a uh
was a decision maker.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Yeah, Cet was kind of he was kind of reckless
with the amount of balls they went went through initially
like they were just kind of flying through their balls
without really from the from the looks of things, really
thinking about what they were doing.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
And so they end up being tied at one and
uh to go two to go.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
Well, CT is out of CT and TA.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
You and Adrian have two left, shoot one and it's
one of those that sort of hits the target but
doesn't knock it off, and so that's like nothing. And
then so it comes down to one ball and they
ended up getting it, and if it would have been
a tide game, it would have went to CT and

(52:50):
TAY because they got up to seven targets first.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yep, that is the way I understood it. Yeah, I
think that's absolutely right. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
It was close.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
It was very it was Do you guys think CT
gave it us all here or do you think it
was kind of kind of checked out.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
I think he was trying. I just don't he understand. He's,
like we said, he's not not good at coaching. We've
always said he's kind of not when it comes to partners.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
I mean even when he was partnered with them. Yeah,
even they couldn't get it figured out.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
So I think he's good at expressing what he wants
someone else to.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
Do, giving direction in a way that other people can
understand without mumbling.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Yeah. Yeah, so that's it by by c t.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
CT and okah man, yep, so good for me.

Speaker 4 (53:59):

Speaker 4 (55:10):
Will you keep our lights on?

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Yeah, we do have a piece of feedback from Spotify. Paul,
I'm talking about last week's episode. Ashley is a very
toxic person. Agree.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
The rampant cheating and the daily challenge should have been
dealt with very harshly.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
Also agree yep.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Yeah. Do you guys see that clip? TJ talked about
that on some podcasts or something about the cheating thing.
He said that it was literally impossible to figure out
everybody that cheated. There was so much fucking onions and
peppers and shit, they couldn't find it all. There was
not enough camera angles to figure it out, and there
was no real way to decipher who cheated and who didn't.

(55:53):
There was not enough tattletale people. They couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
So really the only three people that you could actually tell,
like one tell where the three people at the very end,
johnn Ay, Anissa and Tay who we watched say we're
gonna cheat because everybody else cheated.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Yeah, but like I don't think CT did, Like I
just know CT and he probably did it all, but
you can't prove it, and so how do you reward it?
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (56:16):
So it does make me wonder if like Will did
just like did it kind of like Sydney did it.
We're like, you know, you've got that last tiny five
percent of the onion that can't really eat. But like
he was so incense that it's like, are you incense
because you didn't cheat it at all? Or because you

(56:38):
cheated and made it to first or second or whatever
it was and didn't get to keep the points?

Speaker 3 (56:44):
So yeah, who knows? Who knows how it goes? And
we will never know. And I think that's the point
is like if you can't make it totally fair, like
what else, you can't kick off everybody like it's gonna
end the whole season, you know, it's yep. At some point,
it's like you picked the logical production decision. Even it's
not fair. Yeah, that's still unfortunate though. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
Oh, well.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
To our fantasy league there, Karlin.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Yeah, so on the host league, Uh, Wolfe and I

be like, you picked really stupid people for your team.
When I picked C T. Kara, Johnny Bananas, right, I.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Was not super confident once once we looked at our
teams at the at the end of the draft, I
was not confident. But man crushing it. Yeah, Midney and

Fuck, none of your business. Mister Peter b overtook me
because he so. I was looking at this earlier because
I wanted to see what we made for the week.

picked Anissa Avive, Cedric, Nanni and Will and scored two

(59:54):
hundred and forty points.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
That's the guy that runs the site, right, it is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
The fourth place person. Ceta picked Anissa, Aviv, Cedric, Nanny
and THEO and got two hundred and forty nine points
and moved up four spots.
