The Challenge: Season 40 Ep. 4 Recap

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Thank you for joining us here on the Spyshack podcast, the Challenge edition. We are back to discuss and recap episode four of the challenge 40 battle of the eras. Yeah, I mean, it was a. To me, it was a sad, sad day for who went home, but we'll get there shortly. And then Ruth has been teasing us with some tea that she wants to spill on the podcast. What did y'all think about the. About what happened last week going into this week? [00:00:32] Speaker B: I mean, I thought it was a crazy, like, list of targets. Like, they're all heavy hitters, and so, like, the fact that one of those people were gonna go home last night is just like, dang, it better not be the one that I don't want to go home. [00:00:46] Speaker A: So before we get to the actual challenge itself, did you want to bring up anything that happened before video went out to see who was going to end up going into the duel? Is this part of it already, the tea, or is it afterwards? [00:00:58] Speaker B: No, it's all about the elimination. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [00:01:03] Speaker B: I don't have anything for authentic reactions. I didn't tell y'all. So the whole point of the podcast is to talk about it, and so when it gets time to talk about it, I will talk about it. What I know. [00:01:17] Speaker A: All right, well, let's just jump, I guess, jump into the elimination so we can get to. I mean, to the challenge so we can figure out what's going on. This is one of my favorite challenges, all the one every season that I've seen where they're just, well, this one not maybe as much as the other ones, because I feel like they were kind of cheating and trying to capture themselves before they fell. I've seen one where they launch them in the air. That's probably one of my favorite ones. My favorite thing has always been what's his name? What's his name? [00:01:41] Speaker B: The TJ. [00:01:44] Speaker A: TJ. I wanted to call him JT for some reason, but it's TJ. I knew it was that. Right? His particular reaction to each elimination and his gleefulness of how when people get hurt or look like they get hurt, maybe not so much. When CT looked like he was done for. [00:01:58] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Honestly. Honestly, jumping real quick ahead of that. When I saw him coming back to the house, I'm like, that's how I feel. Like almost every morning when I'm waking. [00:02:08] Speaker B: Up to work, the Derek, Darrell, and CT talking in the room was, like, favorite part of the episode. It's so funny to see the other eras hanging out at the pool, and, like, it always I know they do it for, like, that's how they edit. Yeah, but they're out drinking or doing whatever, and then it goes to CT, darrell and Derek, and they're, like, in bed, and Ct's like, I can only lay on this side. Darrell can't even sit down because of his back. It's just like, oh, my God, I was dying. Dying. [00:02:42] Speaker C: It's real. It's very real. [00:02:44] Speaker B: No, I'm sure that is real. Yes, but, like, the way they portray it, like, that, these guys literally, like, I mean, maybe they are in bed all day. I don't know, but, yeah. [00:02:54] Speaker A: Were you surprised at any of the questions that were missed, not including the final one? [00:02:59] Speaker B: Right. I will say that the questions were all, which I get it's challenge, the eras or whatever, but, like, all the trivia questions were strictly on the challenge. Where in the past, like, if it was history, like, it was actual history, questions about, like, the country they were in or things like that. There was a few, like, yeah, there was, like, a few challenge trivia questions, but most of it were like, there is some math questions. There is, like, you had to spell a certain word. And this one, like, poor Kylan, who's, like, thought he was gonna get an actual geography question. I mean, not that it wasn't a geography question, but it had to do with it was connected to the challenge, something that he probably didn't even watch. And so, yeah, it was just they were all tied to the challenge, and so, yeah, if you didn't keep up. [00:03:44] Speaker A: Or know everything, I want to point something out. [00:03:47] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:03:47] Speaker A: They said there is one challenge, ex challenge member or male, that was on Dancing with the Stars. There's actually another one. Or did I then did I miss hear that question? I thought it said dancing with the Stars. I don't know. [00:04:03] Speaker B: I don't think it was dancing with the stars. It was some other show. [00:04:06] Speaker A: Was it another show? Okay. Maybe I just heard. I thought it was the Miz because the business was on dense on the stars. [00:04:13] Speaker B: He was. [00:04:14] Speaker A: Yeah. He didn't last too long, actually. [00:04:16] Speaker B: No. [00:04:16] Speaker A: Only reason I know wrestling, and they kept talking about it in the wrestling. No money that raw. [00:04:23] Speaker B: I remember what question you're talking about, but I can't freakin I thought. [00:04:27] Speaker A: I thought it was done to start, but I don't know. Maybe it was. [00:04:30] Speaker B: What was the answer? [00:04:31] Speaker A: I have never seen that person. It was someone that would long hair. [00:04:35] Speaker B: Yasi for oh, Yasuf. It was. So you think you can dance. [00:04:39] Speaker A: Okay. There you go. Okay. [00:04:41] Speaker B: That's what it was okay. His name is different. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Different. [00:04:46] Speaker B: They were still dancing in fatherland. [00:04:49] Speaker A: So, yeah. [00:04:51] Speaker C: One's a show where. One's a show where they teach you how to dance, and then you wow everybody with your new dancing skills. Another shows where you think you can dance and they tell you you're terrible. [00:05:04] Speaker A: The other one, too, they tell you terrible. Well, I guess they're. Well, just because I've seen the Dancing with the Stars, but the Mexico edition, they're a lot more rougher with the contestants. [00:05:16] Speaker C: I bet. I. Fun fact. When I was a clown, I got to go to. I got to do an event where Dancing with the Stars, performers, like the actual star, the not the star part. Dancing people came out and did a whole entire performance, and I was like, these people can really dance. They're awesome. [00:05:36] Speaker A: And then you showed up. Yeah. [00:05:38] Speaker C: And then I showed up and was like, I wasn't actually a clown. I was a newsboy handing out papers. Oh, it's a different type of thing. It was really weird because I was, like, the oldest newsboy. [00:05:50] Speaker A: You're like a 40 year old news boy. [00:05:51] Speaker C: Yeah. Get your paper. Get your paper. Read all about it. Dancing with the stars is here. [00:06:00] Speaker A: Okay. Sorry. I totally. I totally miss under. I think I heard it. I think I heard the question. I just thought of the wrong show. Yep, yep, yep. Okay. Era one and era for. I think era four goes first. Or one. I leaving almost. I felt like era two is almost all there. By time. There was only, like, three of era three left. And then slowly, Jordan was able to. They even talked about, if anyone's gonna be able to pull this off on in the trivia, it's gonna be Jordan. So what I feel like they should have been whoever's left over, but because they were doing this whole point system, that's how they got around it, I guess. Just felt like there was. I guess era three was getting more the higher points, whereas era two was getting to the lower points. And so it just ended up being that even though they had so many people left over, they still tied. The challenge of is that, by the way, is when it's a tie, is it always like this where they do a sudden death? [00:06:56] Speaker B: Yes. [00:06:57] Speaker A: Okay. Question of the sudden death. [00:07:02] Speaker B: That's. I mean, you had that smirk in the interview. I don't know what you call those. They're not confessionals. But in the interview thing, my thought process behind it is, what is the point of throwing that? [00:07:15] Speaker A: Wasn't it? [00:07:17] Speaker B: Because, like, wouldn't you one. Wouldn't you want to be safe. Like, why wouldn't you want. Sometimes people don't want the power because then they have to show their cards. So I'm like, is that why he did it? But I do know. So it is true, or whatever they said. Like, Jordan and Laurel dated for a while, and I know they have a good relationship. So I feel like whether Jordan won or if Laurel won, like, they were both going to be safe because they both, like, are in an alliance together. So I didn't understand the whole point and, like, the conspiracy behind whether he threw it or not, because if. I just don't see why he would. [00:07:54] Speaker A: I thought he threw it so that he could make sure that Laurel would. He knew Laura was not gonna put him in and he knew that bananas wouldn't stalemate. Whereas I don't know if whoever who was with Jordan nominated or I don't. I don't know if she would have gone along with the plan that Jordan wanted to go with. [00:08:14] Speaker B: I just don't see the benefit of him throwing it. Like, he wasn't gonna go in either way. Like, I don't know if he did throw it, why he did it. [00:08:22] Speaker A: Yeah. This is what I was talking about. I guess the week, what we did the first two weeks is they're thinking way too far ahead to what are we supposed or no? Let's think about what's going on now. Let's hold the team together. Now. I get that you're gonna have to knock each other out eventually, but you should just take each other out. Take the other teams out, and then deal with each other. [00:08:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Not to get too ahead of ourselves. Talking about talking ahead, but even in the previews, it looks like Laurel and. And Johnny are starting to throw their challenge for the next one. And they have. They all have a history of throwing challenges sometimes. So that way certain people can. They can vote people in or whatever, so that way, people on their team can go. So I don't know. I just don't. I didn't understand why he. If he did throw it, I don't understand why I tried to figure it out. [00:09:11] Speaker A: Oh, I'm going to use my one reference to survivor on this part right here. [00:09:15] Speaker B: That's it. [00:09:16] Speaker A: I only do once a week. You get bad. There's. There's like, a bad luck thing on survivor when you throw a challenge. There's been numerous times where a team that is doing really good throw the challenge, and all of a sudden, the other team just comes back and demolishes that team. And they call it. It's like a curse. If you throw a challenge once, you're gonna go, and you're gonna go on a losing streak. [00:09:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:41] Speaker A: So. But. But survivors, really. Superstition as far as how they call it, the survivor gods or angry. [00:09:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:50] Speaker A: So at the end of the day, Laura already told bananas that he shoot who she wanted to send in, and he was like, I'm not gonna. Stalemate. I'm gonna go ahead. And, like, he knew she was not gonna stand down. Right. And I kind of feel like that kind of just kind of takes away the anticipation of who is going to be when they're already calling it out from the very beginning. But I guess there is not a lot of chatter on who we're going to send in or not. Or not. So they had to just edit it that way. Poor Anissa. This is the. What the. This is only the fourth elimination. Third elimination. [00:10:27] Speaker B: Third. [00:10:28] Speaker A: And she was. She's been in each one, right? [00:10:31] Speaker B: No, she's in the first two of them. [00:10:33] Speaker A: Okay. I thought she was in the first one for some reason. [00:10:35] Speaker B: I mean, she was in the first one when she had to do the poll, wrestle with Katie, and then she had. [00:10:43] Speaker A: I don't know why I thought she had. This is, like, the third time she was coming. Going in. But like I said before, in the first. The first episode we did, I have a, like, love hate relationship with Anisa, because sometimes I feel like she's super sloppy on the show where she's getting into a lot of drama. I kind of really like her this season, mainly because I feel like they were picking on her. They were, like, mainly making. Making sure she left early in the show. And Derek was also in there against, uh, Horatio. How do we want to say. How do they say it on the show, Horatio? I mean, I say Horacio, but we. [00:11:16] Speaker B: Can say Horacio because you said Horatio, Greg. [00:11:20] Speaker A: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Greg can say it. [00:11:23] Speaker B: Horatio, I will say this. Are we talking about the elimination yet? [00:11:29] Speaker A: Yes. [00:11:30] Speaker B: Okay. [00:11:33] Speaker A: Let'S talk about the. Let's talk about the actual elimination challenge. [00:11:36] Speaker B: I guess what I was gonna say is I called it when the episode started, as far as who was going in, because. And I think I mentioned this last week, like, you can always tell who's gonna go home or who's going up against each other because they focus or highlight that friendship or story or whatever. So when they showed Anissa and Jenny talking about not wanting to go up against each other and that very close, I'm like, they have never shown that these girls are friends. So I was like, those are the two that are going in. I was like, those are the two going in. Like, one of them, like, so I already knew who before the challenge even started and everything because, I mean, I don't think it was scripted, like, because they knew they were targets. So I can see them, like, having a conversation, like, man, I hope I don't have to go up against you, but the way they, like, portrayed it, that they're, like, mean. Maybe they are. I don't know. I don't know all these people personally. I feel like I do, though. [00:12:26] Speaker A: But do you think they go back and record stuff again which make it look like it happened during the or the elimination? [00:12:33] Speaker B: Maybe? I do. I do try to catch some mistakes like that, like people's hair and, like, your hair wasn't like that earlier. Like, wait, what happened there? And I don't know. They are. It's a print. It's a production thing, I guess. I don't know. [00:12:48] Speaker A: There was. Okay, wait. Maybe I do know something because I did see something or saying production helped one of them. Is that. Was this part of it? [00:12:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:57] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. I guess let's get to the. Let's get to the elimination itself. You want to explain the elimination? [00:13:03] Speaker B: Sure. So I don't even know what they called it. I had never really seen this game or, like, jax, a version of this game. Yeah. They were basically playing jacks. They had to throw the ball up into, like, a basket and then it had, like, a little ramp to go down and there's jacks on the floor. They had to pick them up, put them in the wall, and then they have to catch the. Catch the ball at the end before it touched the ground. If they didn't catch it before it touched the ground, all those jacks had to go back furthest away from the board and back 40 of them. I was like, I was glad they fast forwarded when the girls, I was like, are really going to sit here and watch? And I was, like, looking at the time on the show how much was left. I was like, we're not even going to get to see the guys, but they fast forwarded. [00:13:44] Speaker A: So tell me what Jenny in the past has. Is she athletic? [00:13:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Ish. Well, she's all muscles. I mean, okay. [00:13:55] Speaker A: She's not in, like, endurance. [00:13:56] Speaker B: I honestly don't even know what her elimination. Right. I don't even know what her elimination thing is like. I know there was one season where, like, she never went in. Like, she just played a quiet game and nobody really targeted her. I don't know, but I have seen that happen, not only with her, with other people. Like, they're all muscles and all they do is, like, lift weights and stuff and, like, they can't do a lot of cardio or have the endurance and stuff. Fessy, that happened to fussy. [00:14:25] Speaker A: Happens to UFC fighters all the time. [00:14:27] Speaker B: Mm hmm. So just gas. [00:14:30] Speaker A: I was. I was waiting for underdog win already. I actually got sad when she got eliminated. I'm like, what I thought. I truly thought they were. They were setting it up for her to power through the whole season. Keep calling and keep going in and. [00:14:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:44] Speaker A: Making it to the end again. [00:14:46] Speaker C: Yeah. I yelled at the tv, like, my wife. My wife was watching with me, and she's like, I don't even know who these people are. And I was like, no, this is so weak right now. You don't understand. Like, this. Like, this is so messed up. [00:15:03] Speaker B: Yeah. And it's always hard to tell, like, what is actually happening because everything is edited and stuff like that. And it's like, was it really that close? I think it really was that close, though. [00:15:14] Speaker A: What's, like, other eliminations and other shows, we. We never know truly, if it is, unless there's a sun in the background and you can tell, you know, a bright one day moment, then also in this dark, like, yeah, it's not as close as you thought it was, but I know other shows do sometimes re record shots from, like, far away with people dressed up as the people competing so that they can make it look closer. I didn't know that. Amazing race and survivor both do that. [00:15:41] Speaker B: Amazing race does that. [00:15:44] Speaker A: They don't change. They don't change outcome. [00:15:47] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:15:48] Speaker A: They just. They might rerecord some stuff so that it makes it look like it's closer to then it really is. [00:15:56] Speaker C: Like, some of those, like, get to the mat type situations. There's no. [00:15:59] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that's why the only time they can't do that is when it's, like, one team is, like, hours and hours behind. [00:16:05] Speaker B: Oh, they like, yeah, they never made it past the checkpoint, and they're still there. [00:16:08] Speaker C: That would be me. How do I do this? Oh, man. [00:16:14] Speaker A: And, like, Rick's juggling everything. [00:16:17] Speaker C: Here's my question. And I don't know about, like, was the ball like a regular basketball, or was it like a medicine ball? It looked like it was heavy. [00:16:24] Speaker A: Heavy? Yeah. Yeah. [00:16:26] Speaker C: Like, it had. It had some. Like, it. It was like they were hefting it, like, at a point. It was like, at a point. It was like, they're both pretty done. [00:16:39] Speaker A: Well, I'm pretty sure that's why Jenny was tired. I mean, unless it didn't look like she was as tired as Jenny was. But she did say that as soon as she got eliminated, went home. Last time she went and worked out and got ready for this one. So. Yeah. So unfortunately, Anissa is out now. Now I'm thinking this is where the, where some of the teas spicy comes in to Derek versus Horacio. And I've only seen Horace. [00:17:09] Speaker B: Someone's here with us. [00:17:11] Speaker A: Oh, I don't see anybody. [00:17:12] Speaker B: It says three. [00:17:14] Speaker A: It does show someone else's with us, but I can't see them there. [00:17:17] Speaker B: Bill yourself. [00:17:18] Speaker A: Reveal yourself. [00:17:19] Speaker B: Send us a chat. [00:17:23] Speaker A: But anyways, sorry, I got distracted. [00:17:24] Speaker B: Hi, fan. [00:17:25] Speaker A: I've seen. [00:17:26] Speaker B: We have one. [00:17:27] Speaker A: We have one listen, one listener live because this is the first time we're actually trying to go live. And last. Last week was a train wreck. And that is still gonna come out. That is still gonna come out. But I think each one of us had at least one. One technical issue during the. During the episode, and it's just really, really hard to edit that. So that one is still gonna come out. It's just gonna come out of order. It's gonna show up in the. [00:17:50] Speaker B: Everyone asking me, where's the episode? I'm like, I don't know. I don't even know if it actually recorded. Okay. [00:17:56] Speaker A: Anyways, yeah, so like I said, I've only known Horacio for, what, three episodes? Three seasons. Four seasons. And he's only come out in one of the ones that I saw him and one that I didn't see. And I really. I really liked him. It doesn't help. It doesn't hurt that he's latino. Right. But so, you know, his representation there. But still, you know, I really, actually, really liked him. He's a. He's a beast at some of these, but he is a beast. I'm a little sad that he's gone, so I really thought he was gonna mull through this. Okay. [00:18:27] Speaker B: So apparently on the Twitter and Instagram, it is, like, blowing up that he actually won the elimination and production decided otherwise. So you can. And I noticed it on the tv, and honestly, when the episode ended, I kind of, like, I wasn't, like, happy. I wasn't sad. Like, I wasn't, like, anxious. I was just, like, what the heck? So, yeah, Nuris, his girlfriend, is, like, all fired up, and, like, now it's like, are you team production or Team Odacio? And so, like, that is. That is what is trending right now. You can follow the Instagram account challenge 911. And that is all they're talking about. Jordan went live. Tori went live. Bananas went, like they were all talking about whether it was production or not. [00:19:17] Speaker A: I don't watch this life the day go. The episode goes out, so I have to stay off. No, no. What I had to do is actually mute people from the challenge on Instagram. [00:19:31] Speaker B: Because there's a message. [00:19:33] Speaker A: It's just so spicy. See? Do you want to let us know who this is? [00:19:36] Speaker B: That has to be Sarah, my buddy. Spicy enchilada. [00:19:42] Speaker A: What's it called? I have to mute him because as soon as I look at the time, it's like 09:00 or 930. And all you see is people going live from the challenge, and that happens the first week. So I'm like, well, I don't get to see it that day, so I can't be looking at this. [00:19:58] Speaker B: Whereas I'm trying to hurry up and watch it on time so I could see their lives because. But then some of them are watching it in the west coast, and some of them are watching it, so I don't even get to. And they're not saving their lives, so I can't go back and watch it. But this challenge fan base, Instagram, like, is sharing snippets from everybody's life. So, yeah, if you look. [00:20:20] Speaker A: I'm looking up now. [00:20:22] Speaker B: When you look and watch it, and they have, like, the screenshots all on the gram. When they look, when they show a snapshot of Derek's board, the jack is not in the peg. Like, there's one missing, and it. It's actually within. I wonder if I could put on my phone and show it from here. So then. Then point, because she's defending her man rightfully. So when you watch Horacio put in his last peg, he's walking up to the board casually and just, like, sticks it in there and just turns around and puts his hands up. [00:20:54] Speaker A: Also, he wouldn't be there if you wouldn't be like that if he didn't have an issue, right? [00:20:57] Speaker B: Exactly. If it was that close, he wouldn't have casually just put it in. He would have been running and, like, out of breath and said, like, you guys get it. But no, he, like, put it in, turned around confidently, like, I got it. And Narise was like, he would never act that casual in that nonchalant. And that's what a lot of the other people are saying. [00:21:15] Speaker A: Somebody also spilled that the challenge t 911. [00:21:19] Speaker B: Yes. Someone also spilled that it took production 45 minutes after they blew the horn to make the decision that the cast was there waiting for 45 minutes. And so Jordan was kind of saying, like, the people that are saying, like, Derek did win, and it was that close. He's like, those people have been around for so long. It's a lot of era one people, because obviously, they get to keep their. Their Derek, but that, you know, there's a lot of stuff that goes in with the show when you sign up, and they kind of just ride the waves to get their paychecks or to keep getting asked to come back to all stars and stuff. [00:22:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:01] Speaker B: And so it kind of does make sense, whereas, I mean, I don't know if Jordan will ever come back because he is saying a lot of stuff on instagram. I started, so I, like, every day I follow another challenger because I'm like, I need to keep up with this. He was, like, bashing the production and that it's, like, the worst, like, living situations they've ever been in and, like, all this stuff. And so, yeah, Jordan was like, horacio that got robbed from him. A lot of challengers are coming out and, like, saying that it was, oh, I can't move the mouse. But you can see the. The one. The extra one right below it to the. To the left. There's, like, an extra jack there. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Well, there's a missing one right there. [00:22:43] Speaker B: I know, but go down and then three to the left from where the hole is. No, no, go to the hole. Go down. Go to the hole and go down to the next row. [00:22:54] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:22:57] Speaker B: So Jordan was saying that production only tells the rules to the ones that are playing the elimination. So what we. What the rest of the cast members here is just whatever we hear from TJ. And so when they went back to it, Horacio says the rules were the peg had to be in the hole, and Derek is saying, no, they said they had to be on it. And so, man, these people better share our podcast. We're over here promoting them. Let's get famous. Share it because we're so spicy. So, yeah, there's a whole lot of back and forth and then that. Because then there's another edited one where the. Where it shows the jack in the hole. And it's like, if the rule was that it just had to be on the board, then why would they edit it to be in there? And that Anissa had also knocked over some and that production refs had helped her put them back in the hole. [00:23:58] Speaker A: What did you say the hashtag is? [00:24:04] Speaker B: I don't know if it's a real hashtag, but people are like, so and so is team production. So and so is team. And apparently that he's going into retirement. He never wants to come back because, um. Oh, you're on the actual twitter. [00:24:24] Speaker A: No, this is Instagram. [00:24:25] Speaker B: Okay. I was like, uh, no, if you go, yeah, I don't know. I don't think they're hashtagging it, but, yeah, Nuris is fired up, going, clapping back at a lot of people. What else was being said? But, oh, that Jenny actually spoke out, like, while they announced that they're like, that is not right. Like, why would you say that? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, it was clear for the people who were there that he won fair and square. [00:24:54] Speaker A: So I'm on the to challenge Instagram, and there's a guy named Brad Jones. It says, elimination felt fishy. Why was it, oh, that's so nonchalant at the end. That's what you do when it's. When it's a guaranteed win. Why was Derek so nervous waiting for TJ's announcement? [00:25:09] Speaker B: Mm hmm. And you can see the defeat in his face when they announce him. Because I, like, there it's all over the Internet, and he's just, like, shakes his head, and it's just like, wow. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Like, well, it's just gonna. I don't think this is enough to where it's gonna mess up the show. I think the show has. It has committed followers, and they're going to keep watching no matter what. But it doesn't do some people. [00:25:38] Speaker B: Like, the podcast is our last episode. We're done. [00:25:43] Speaker A: We're boycotting. Greg, you only watched four episodes. [00:25:49] Speaker C: That four was enough for me. I mean, 40 seasons, 44 episodes. [00:25:53] Speaker A: It just. [00:25:54] Speaker C: I mean, you got something like that. That's too much spite. [00:26:00] Speaker A: Yeah. So I did see something, but I. Before I saw production help and then before I finished reading it, I, like, took it off my screen because I didn't want to read what was going on. So now when you kept saying. And you kept saying that there's something going on, and I'm like, wait, I did see something. [00:26:17] Speaker B: Yeah. And so now they're like, oh, now we have to go up against production and not just the cast meets on, like, dang, that's crazy. Apparently, a bunch of people were upset that night, and, like, I mean, maybe that's why people are gonna throw a challenge next week. I don't know. Dun dun dun. And then I saw, oh, I saw, like, a tweet or whatever because Dee was australian that I said that, like, she actually won the final, but they didn't even give her any airtime. And they're like, they could. They're like, they could edit d out in the two days after they. After she, like, did whatever she did, but they couldn't edit Derek's peg in three months. I'm like, dang. And it's like. And I think in one of the tweets, like, it's nothing against Derek. Like, Derek didn't ask for this. Like, they like Derek and all respect to him, but it really was, like, on the production team that, like, completely screwed odessio over, which, I mean, I watch it because. Not just because of him, but he's one of my favorites. And I know a lot of people watch it before him, too. And it's just like, that's insane. If that's. If that really was the thing and that's what they want. That's who they wanted to get rid of. Like, what the heck? [00:27:31] Speaker A: I wonder if. I wonder if there's something else that went on during the day or something that he might have said between seasons and they're, like, just out for him. [00:27:41] Speaker B: Oh, I will say, you know how, like, the foreshadowing when they. When they show an odo, saying, like, oh, I just haven't been in the right mind, or whatever, I'm like, no, he's gonna go home then, if you pay attention. Let's watch this next episode. Whoever they focus on in the beginning, I bet you those are the people that are going in. That's how they always do it. And so I was like, no freaking way. I didn't want it to be true. When I. When I saw them foreshadowing that he was saying, he hasn't been in his head mentally. I was like, no, he better not go home. There's no way. And they freaking sent him home. [00:28:16] Speaker C: Now I'm gonna be watching for those. Those types of things when I watch next episode. [00:28:21] Speaker A: So I'm looking at the. That same. The two challenge Instagram, and they're. Now they have Nissa here, and people are talking about her, and people are actually saying they're surprised that she did really well compared to Jenny, who. There's some people saying that it looked like Jenny had ocopd because of how she was breathing. That means it's. It's social media. And then someone said her and her ankle need to retire. [00:28:45] Speaker B: She did good, though. Like, she did. [00:28:48] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying I'm surprised. The reason why I didn't like her at first was because when I first. When I first started watching it, I felt like she was always going in and she was always losing. So I was like, why did he bring her back? Or she's always, like, losing, at least the ones that I was seeing. And then she was always in the drama. But lately, when I started watching it again, she had been competing, and she has the. What she had. She's tied for the most, or she's already beat the record for the most challenge wins by a female. That was one of, that was one of the things when she. On the first. The first week of the elimination that. [00:29:20] Speaker B: She didn't. [00:29:23] Speaker A: Beating it or she was tying it. I'm not sure what it was. [00:29:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I have to look into that. But, yeah, she. She's really good in the sand and. [00:29:31] Speaker C: Eliminations, so, yeah, good tv. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:29:36] Speaker A: So, Laurel and Darryl, Darrell Doral, Daryl. I say it all different ways. What, I mean, what's going on there? Do you know what? It looked like he wanted a fighter. [00:29:50] Speaker B: I mean, he said it like, oh, she's always running her mouth and bullying people, which. [00:29:56] Speaker A: But then she goes and throws, like, someone else under the bus, too. [00:29:59] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:30:03] Speaker A: And she's. She's also the one that's always going after Michelle, right? [00:30:07] Speaker B: Yes. [00:30:08] Speaker A: Yeah. So, a pretty good episode with. With, I guess, t that I didn't even know about till now and sad episode at the same time because two people that we really liked, I went home. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Mm hmm. [00:30:20] Speaker A: So, does spicy watch the show, or is she watching for us? [00:30:24] Speaker B: She watches it. I don't know a lot of people that watch the challenge, and that's why I wanted to do this podcast, so I could meet other people. And then. So she's my work bestie, and so I told her, I'm like, oh, I'm doing a podcast, blah, blah. And I was like, we're covering the challenge. She's like, oh, my God. And we just started talking about the cast members and stuff, and I was like, I can't believe this whole time. I've known her for two years, and I didn't even know she watched the challenge. [00:30:52] Speaker A: A friend that told me all of a sudden that she watches the two, and I was. I was putting it up, and I'm like, are you just saying that because you're being a good sport and helping us? What's it called? [00:31:03] Speaker B: No. Erica, my friend that always comes for friendsgiving, she also watches a challenge. She just doesn't have anywhere to watch it on right now, so I may have to share our YouTube tv password. I'm just kidding. [00:31:16] Speaker A: No, YouTube, we don't do that. [00:31:18] Speaker B: She watches it, but she doesn't have anywhere to watch it right now. Was I gonna say, though? [00:31:25] Speaker A: So we're gonna go. Are we gonna jump into the weekly episode recommendation or season recommendation? [00:31:33] Speaker B: I will recommend an elimination to watch. My favorite one of Jordan is they had to break these light bulbs, and then you had to, like, hammer a nail, like, these big, like, nails into something. I think he was up against Josh or somebody with a lot of muscles, and that's all I'm gonna say. I was, like. I was gonna go all in, but obviously, Jordan's the underdog because he's missing a hand, but because he's been in construction all his life and does a lot of things, like. And he's learned his whole life how to live with one hand, like, around it. Yeah, it's just. It was one of my favorite eliminations to see Jordan compete, and I love watching Jordan compete, so. Yeah. [00:32:23] Speaker A: Greg, did you ever go watch that episode from last week? [00:32:27] Speaker B: I don't even know what I recommended. [00:32:30] Speaker A: It was, like, episode. It was, like, season 28 or something. Episode 224. [00:32:36] Speaker B: I recommend all of them. [00:32:38] Speaker C: Yes, you recommend all of them. But I don't have all that time. [00:32:42] Speaker B: All I. [00:32:42] Speaker C: All I know is Josh is a big baby. [00:32:46] Speaker B: You barely have enough time to watch the one episode you have to watch each week. [00:32:49] Speaker A: He just watched it five minutes ago. [00:32:51] Speaker C: I did. [00:32:53] Speaker A: He's watching it right now. [00:32:56] Speaker C: That's why I'm so quiet. No, but I will tell you this, though. I mean, like, I like watching. Watching this episode, and then, like, whenever. Whenever they did pan on my boy Josh, I'm like, gosh, you're such a baby. I mean, like, anytime that he did talk about stuff, he was like, well, save. [00:33:14] Speaker A: I feel like this episode went by fast. I just. I'm just bummed out. I really don't have much more to talk about. I guess we'll see what. What comes up next week, and let's see what. What's going on with throwing the challenge. And if it comes back to biting your buddy in the butt, it's gonna bite someone when all of a sudden, they switch up the partners or they switch out the game, and now you're stuck with somebody you didn't want to be on there or going against someone. [00:33:38] Speaker B: Or those points come back. [00:33:40] Speaker A: Oh, that's right. [00:33:41] Speaker B: So the people that are getting eliminated are ranking and giving out points somehow. [00:33:46] Speaker A: You see, I keep missing. That's not in my feed right now. I don't know why. Only the first time. [00:33:51] Speaker B: It doesn't. They're not showing it on tv anymore. It was only that first time they showed it. [00:33:55] Speaker C: Just the first time. [00:33:56] Speaker A: Okay. Okay, so you. But you know this already, though. [00:33:58] Speaker B: But I remember, and I don't take notes, and you always tell me, take notes, and I'm like, I don't need to take notes. [00:34:03] Speaker A: But are they. Are they. Are they doing it every week? Or was it just that first? [00:34:06] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure they're doing it every week. [00:34:08] Speaker C: So everybody that goes gets to give somebody. Oh, yeah, that's gonna. That's gonna take some people down a peg if they didn't think they were. [00:34:16] Speaker B: Gonna peg literally. [00:34:21] Speaker A: Too soon. Right, Greg, who do you want to see go next week? [00:34:27] Speaker B: Well, who are the targets? [00:34:29] Speaker A: I already forgot. [00:34:30] Speaker B: Ct. [00:34:31] Speaker A: I don't want Ct was so. [00:34:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Which I think is noble of these people to start nominating themselves. And then Cory and Josh did not pissed. I mean, I loved Cory, so I don't want him to go anywhere. But it's CT. CT and Veronica. Is it Veronica that's on the show? Not Veronica. What's her name? Tina. [00:34:55] Speaker A: Tina. [00:34:56] Speaker B: CT and Tina Nehemiah. And who's on? She didn't watch it. I told her she needed her. Well, maybe she watched it before our podcast. I told her she had to catch up tonight, like me. [00:35:09] Speaker C: She watched just like I did, maybe. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Right, right before. I know it's Nehemiah. Are you looking? [00:35:15] Speaker A: I'm trying to look it up. [00:35:17] Speaker C: Everybody that got nominated for, you know, that got. That got put up there, though. Like, I don't. I honestly, I'm like, oof. That's like another power set of people that they're all. You don't want any of those people to go home. And I'm pretty sure, like, some of them are gonna play out really hard. [00:35:36] Speaker A: Wasn't Devon one of them? [00:35:38] Speaker B: Devin and Tori. [00:35:39] Speaker A: Yes. [00:35:39] Speaker B: For era three. [00:35:43] Speaker A: Usually already have these. What's it called? Looked up by the time we start. [00:35:47] Speaker B: Nehemiah and Emily for era two. And then for era four, it's Kylan and Olivia. See? All in my brain. Write it down. [00:36:02] Speaker A: Nehru, Maya, Emily, Devin, Tori, Kylan, Olivia. [00:36:06] Speaker B: Boom. [00:36:07] Speaker A: Before you could find it, few feathers were ruffled. Devin was expecting Cory to volunteer. Yeah. Kylan thought Josh was planning to volunteer from era for. That's where it is. I got that information. Extra little information. Goldberry older be. Okay, I can't talk all right. I think we're gonna leave it there. We're gonna be the shortest episode we have so far. We had, like, 20 minutes of failures last week, so, technically, this is our shortest episode. I'll try to get the missing episode out there pretty soon. If I have to record my, like, kind of do interludes and kind of let catch people up what was going on when everyone shut down and all that, I'll do. [00:36:53] Speaker B: What are you, the podcast, the production team for the challenge? [00:36:58] Speaker C: Actually, I'm switching my. I want the production team to go home. [00:37:03] Speaker A: We'll figure it out, but, yeah, we'll see y'all. Next week is gonna be a little bit different because we are not gonna be here in the San Antonio area, because we're gonna be getting ready to dress up like Guido's. [00:37:18] Speaker C: What? [00:37:19] Speaker B: Guido's. [00:37:20] Speaker C: Oh, Guido's. [00:37:22] Speaker B: The Jersey short. Can we have a podcast covering the family vacation? [00:37:27] Speaker A: We can do a podcast on anything. [00:37:31] Speaker B: As long as spicy listens every week. We got somebody. [00:37:35] Speaker A: Well, maybe we'll take pictures and we'll post them. I don't know. It depends on how fun of a party that is. [00:37:42] Speaker B: So, Greg, it's my birthday next week, and I'm having a Jersey shore themed party. [00:37:48] Speaker A: Awesome. So, yeah, it's my hair, like, right here. [00:37:53] Speaker C: Family vacation, right? [00:37:55] Speaker B: Yes. We're gonna try to do Seoul's hair like DJ Polly dJdeh. I don't know who she meant. Needed to get a haircut, but that's why he can't cut his hair, because we are gonna blow out solo's hair. [00:38:06] Speaker A: I think she's talking about Josh. Josh. [00:38:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:10] Speaker B: I was like, dang, she's taking. She's taking jabs, and she hasn't even met you yet. But that is. That's how spicy works. [00:38:17] Speaker A: I haven't got my hair. I haven't cut my hair in, like, a month now. [00:38:25] Speaker B: Yeah. You're gonna look like Polyd for sure. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm not gonna look like him. I'm just gonna have his hair. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Are you gonna shave? No, shave your whole face. You should do it for my birthday. [00:38:38] Speaker C: Get clean. [00:38:39] Speaker B: That'll be my present. [00:38:41] Speaker A: Ruth's sister will probably kick me out of the house if I shave. [00:38:43] Speaker B: You can stay with me. I have an extra room. [00:38:47] Speaker A: Well, we'll leave it there. We'll see what's. Y'all, next time, I'm gonna figure out how to put our. This is our Texas. The first time we're putting in a video. I'll figure out more of this production side, too, so we can have our check out our Instagram handles there so that we, y'all know where to find us. Either way, I'm putting it in the description. Remember to subscribe to like, to do whatever. We are gonna be setting up a web YouTube page for these episodes, and it's also gonna have for the future survivor episodes. We're wanting to do the traitor episodes and the amazing Race episodes. Are we gonna be able to do every single one of them every single week? I don't know. Especially with amazing Race survivor, and the challenge going all at once. The amazing race might be. Might be sacrificed. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Maybe we can find a way to do it. But we'll see you all next time on the Spiceack podcast. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Bye. [00:39:41] Speaker A: Podcast challenge edition. [00:39:42] Speaker B: Thanks for watching and listening. [00:39:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
