Speaker 1: Hello everyone, it's your Girl day Von and this is
Speaker 1: MTV's official Challenge podcast. Now it's just me today, and
Speaker 1: I am missing my girl. Yes, i am missing the
Speaker 1: rest of Destiny's show. But I'm going to give you
Speaker 1: this Kelly Roland solo album. So let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: get into this dirty laundry. This episode is going to
Speaker 1: be so spicy and I cannot wait. All right, y'all,
Speaker 1: so let's get into it. Okay, of course, you guys
Speaker 1: know I couldn't resist. I have to give you the
Speaker 1: gold star and the time out. Even though it's just
Speaker 1: me here, well, I just not it's us because we're here, okay, Squitterville, USA,
Speaker 1: you in the building, Instagram, USA, brand at USA, everybody
Speaker 1: in the building, right, and so we are doing this
Speaker 1: podcast together. And so my gold star is one hundred
Speaker 1: percent going to go to therese. Now you know, I
Speaker 1: love rooting for the underdog, right, And I'm so proud
Speaker 1: of her because baby girl was given the little engine
Speaker 1: that could and I was here for it that elimination
Speaker 1: against Amber. First of all, Ember is a beast, okay,
Speaker 1: and so the fact that she didn't just go out
Speaker 1: there and just full on demolishingaries like she was holding
Speaker 1: on for dear life, and I was so so proud
Speaker 1: of her. Even though she didn't come out with the victory,
Speaker 1: she definitely came out with a gold star for me.
Speaker 1: So let's clap it up one time for missing the raids.
Speaker 1: Now let's go ahead and get into this time out. Okay.
Speaker 1: In my personal opinion, these trivia questions this season were
Speaker 1: very very easy. Okay, minus the Star Wars because I
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have gotten that one, but the other ones
Speaker 1: were fairly easy. The fact that Casey did not know
Speaker 1: who Adam and Eve was a baby time out. I
Speaker 1: need you in a dumps cap in the corner, like
Speaker 1: you can't play with no toys, Ain't no recess for you,
Speaker 1: ain't no nothing, because girl, what Adam and Eve? How
Speaker 1: do you not? Girl back? But enough of me talking, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's get to the part that you've all been waiting for.
Speaker 1: This is going to be such a great episode and
Speaker 1: it's gonna have so much tea. And I'm not a
Speaker 1: whole bad from y'all, Like we're going in and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna stop and keep this from you guys any longer.
Speaker 1: Nourse is here and you already know I'm about to
Speaker 1: get all up in this talk, Okay, I'm asking all
Speaker 1: the questions. We're getting into the situation with Tori and Jordan,
Speaker 1: Her and Nelson, this elimination against Amber, Like we're going
Speaker 1: all in, all right, So stay tuned, don't move, stay
Speaker 1: right where you are, because we'll be right back. Friends, family, cousin.
Speaker 1: She is here, Nourse, thank you so much for coming
Speaker 1: to hang out with me today on the podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy to have you here. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time coming. I know, speaking of that, okay,
Speaker 1: because I wanted us to say that. I know you've
Speaker 1: been trying to do the Challenge for a long time, right,
Speaker 1: and I want to say that honestly, this season you
Speaker 1: have easily become one of my favorites to watch. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie and thank you girl forgiving. I
Speaker 1: told y'all, I told y'all, y'all should have asked me.
Speaker 1: I told y'all exactly. I beg I said this, and
Speaker 1: everyone was like, oh, yeah, you were begging to be
Speaker 1: on the Challenge. I'm like, I just wanted my opportunity
Speaker 1: to show people that I'm a lot more than just
Speaker 1: a dating show, and you've been showing it. Girl, You've
Speaker 1: been killing it this season, and I'm so, so so
Speaker 1: proud of you. You've definitely been one of my favorites
Speaker 1: to watch and girl, I literally, well, first off, I
Speaker 1: was hoping and praying that you were gonna be on
Speaker 1: the season two. I was like, I was so excited
Speaker 1: to meet you. And then when I got there and
Speaker 1: you see the actual cost, I'm like, damn, where's day gone?
Speaker 1: I was so sad. I was like, dance maybe one day,
Speaker 1: but let's get into this episode. But I do want
Speaker 1: to go back though, So I want to go back
Speaker 1: to when the teams were first formed. Right, you and
Speaker 1: Nelson are split up? Right, how does that feel? And
Speaker 1: how do you feel about your new team? Oh? Well,
Speaker 1: if you see my face when they first told us,
Speaker 1: I was actually I was pissed. I was pissed because
Speaker 1: I knew that Nelson was gonna be the only person
Speaker 1: in the game that would have what would have my back,
Speaker 1: He honestly like was the best partner for me too,
Speaker 1: and vice versa, because like whenever I felt like in
Speaker 1: any of the challenges, like I felt like giving up,
Speaker 1: he just knew how to motivate me. He knew how
Speaker 1: to talk to me. He kind of he knew me.
Speaker 1: So I never felt like I felt like the most
Speaker 1: comfortable with him. And then when I started seeing the
Speaker 1: way the team started forming, I'm like, oh, so this
Speaker 1: is the team about to be on. I mean, like
Speaker 1: I said, we had a lot of brains on my side,
Speaker 1: so I wasn't mad about it, but coming and being
Speaker 1: as someone who's a bit smaller, I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: we need some we need some size, and we had
Speaker 1: no size at all. Ah, don't do that because David
Speaker 1: beat goliaths. Don't do that. I mean, I'm telling you it,
Speaker 1: mighty so Harriot. Yeah, so now we get on and
Speaker 1: now you guys are one person down right now at
Speaker 1: this point in the episode, you guys would want person down.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling going into this next daily? Like, dang,
Speaker 1: we've already lost one person. How does that feel? You know?
Speaker 1: Going into the next daily? We definitely we knew for
Speaker 1: a fact that we needed to give it our all
Speaker 1: because it was gonna be a girl's day. And I
Speaker 1: kind of already knew the way that everything was going
Speaker 1: going that if it was if we lost I knew
Speaker 1: I was gonna go into elimination. I knew that regardless.
Speaker 1: I knew that I was gonna be main vote, Like,
Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter what the conversations were around
Speaker 1: the house, like if people were trying to lie to
Speaker 1: me and saying, oh, no, maybe it's Amber, maybe it's
Speaker 1: I was like, no, motherfucker's I very much know that
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Um. They've They've made it so evident
Speaker 1: throughout the house because you know, Bananas would come up
Speaker 1: to and be like, you say, you're great at puzzles,
Speaker 1: so you're great at than durance, and so you knew
Speaker 1: that I was. I knew that I was a threat,
Speaker 1: So I knew that it was gonna be me. So
Speaker 1: biggest regret was not talking to Nelson and I'm like, Nelson,
Speaker 1: how do you do so great in this daily And
Speaker 1: when it comes to trivia, when I wish he would
Speaker 1: have just you know, pulled an LT and you know,
Speaker 1: got some wrong so we could have won. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I like, you know, the girls say like wow, and
Speaker 1: it's so interesting that you say that, because Betsy and
Speaker 1: Bananas they talk about how you're the strongest female on
Speaker 1: the opposite team. You know, They're like she'd won, she'd
Speaker 1: want som How you feel hearing them say that? Honestly,
Speaker 1: it felt amazing. Um, When we go into the interrogation room,
Speaker 1: they actually all eight people on the other team literally
Speaker 1: they went one by one, all saying like all these
Speaker 1: amazing things about me that I went in there, just
Speaker 1: like I went in there like ready to be like,
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you guys anything, And they were all
Speaker 1: so sweet and so nice, and they all were just like,
Speaker 1: You've been such an amazing asset to this house, to
Speaker 1: the challenge and everything. And I was bawling my eyes
Speaker 1: out so like as big as you know. It was
Speaker 1: bittersweet to know that I was gonna go in, but
Speaker 1: it felt so nice to realize that, like I went
Speaker 1: there to make a name for myself and to like
Speaker 1: prove that I'm smarter and stronger not only to you know, myself,
Speaker 1: but to everybody else. And I was happy and proud
Speaker 1: of myself to actually like I did that. I actually did, girl.
Speaker 1: They were butter in you up. It was the calm
Speaker 1: before the storm. There was like season this chicken for
Speaker 1: we put her in the oven, We're gonna go ahead.
Speaker 1: And yet so outside of being this great competitor that
Speaker 1: you are, you have also been in some love triangles
Speaker 1: and I want to get into that. Okay, So before
Speaker 1: we even get into the whole Tory and Jordan situation, Johnny,
Speaker 1: what happened with that? Yeah? What's going on with that?
Speaker 1: Because you know when he left, two things can happen.
Speaker 1: It's either absence makes the heart grow fonder or out
Speaker 1: of sight out of mind. Which one did you do?
Speaker 1: Clearly it was out of sight out of mind? But no.
Speaker 1: So you know, when we were in the house, like
Speaker 1: me and Johnny, I felt like, honestly the most amazing
Speaker 1: connection between me and him because we met at the airport.
Speaker 1: You know, they show it we made out, but it
Speaker 1: was instant connection, like it was instant, like we just
Speaker 1: he was just a great person, talked to a left
Speaker 1: of time conversations with him, but he fucked up. You know. Um,
Speaker 1: when he was leaving, I tried running down when he
Speaker 1: got eliminated. So when I was walking back up the stairs,
Speaker 1: he says, it's been real, have fun, And that's all
Speaker 1: he chose to say. And so the entire house we'll
Speaker 1: just look at him like it's been real, have fun.
Speaker 1: How is that the only thing you say to someone
Speaker 1: that you just spent twenty four to seven with for
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. So for me, I was like,
Speaker 1: have fun, but I will go have fun because that
Speaker 1: to me to Wow, I needed to know about our
Speaker 1: connection because I thought it was something more real. I
Speaker 1: just sprinted my ass down little stairs to go give
Speaker 1: you a hug goodbye, as if you were my boyfriend
Speaker 1: of years, like, and you're gonna tell me have fun?
Speaker 1: Like do Like? Basically it was like do you? It
Speaker 1: was real? What we're here, Bill, that's it. And so
Speaker 1: for also, like I know at the time, Johnny's twenty
Speaker 1: three years old, I'm twenty seven, Johnny just started living
Speaker 1: in LA I'm like, I'm a realist. Like I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna think that you're gonna go back home
Speaker 1: and sit there. You're gonna wait for me. You're gonna
Speaker 1: go back home and go back to all your other
Speaker 1: girls that you had prior to me, you know, And
Speaker 1: that's cool because we never talked about we never talked
Speaker 1: about like being together in the outside or even seeing
Speaker 1: what it could be on the outside world. So I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, he's probably out there doing him.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do me. Um, when we get out of here,
Speaker 1: I'll talk to him and then we can see if
Speaker 1: this will be a thing. If not, Who are you
Speaker 1: guys in contact now romantically? Uh? Oh? Girl? This smile?
Speaker 1: That was a cheeseburger smile? Girl? What was that? Well, Well,
Speaker 1: at the reunion, we may have rekindled things. So we
Speaker 1: rekindled things, and I didn't expect that because genuinely, I
Speaker 1: was so angry about the way the things happened between
Speaker 1: me and him outside of the house. Um, but we
Speaker 1: rekindled things, and naturally we were. That London trip was
Speaker 1: literally just a vacation for me and him. It was.
Speaker 1: It was we spent twenty four seven together. We literally
Speaker 1: just flew back last night and today, like I will
Speaker 1: come back to this house this morning. So yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. There you God told y'all I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: the team. There you go. Well, okay, so then that
Speaker 1: lets me know that Jordan is out of the picture.
Speaker 1: But why he was in the picture. I do want
Speaker 1: to dive into that. What was it that sparked your
Speaker 1: interest with Jordan? Like what attracted you to him? It was?
Speaker 1: I think it was because we just got to know
Speaker 1: each other without the romantic side of it, like we weren't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was like, Oh, I just think
Speaker 1: you're hot, you know. It wasn't like no sexual like
Speaker 1: connection off the bat. It was literally friendship. I got
Speaker 1: to know him. We had to have nice deep talks.
Speaker 1: Then just seeing the way that he carried himself and
Speaker 1: seeing honestly, because I had judgments of him prior to
Speaker 1: when I first seen him coming into the house, I
Speaker 1: was like, I've seen you on the past seasons, I
Speaker 1: didn't know, so seeing him in a different flight, you know,
Speaker 1: seeing I don't know. I just I really liked his personality,
Speaker 1: like honestly, like he would just make me die laughing.
Speaker 1: We shared a bedroom, so I got to know him
Speaker 1: from that, and I think as people got eliminated, so
Speaker 1: like Jay got eliminated. So then it was just me,
Speaker 1: him and John seen the room. Chauncey spent all his
Speaker 1: room with Amber downstairs, so me and him had a
Speaker 1: room to just ourselves. So it went from both of
Speaker 1: us sleeping downstairs in our separate beds, having late night
Speaker 1: talks like all the time for hours. We would talk
Speaker 1: for hours and hours. So then one day him being
Speaker 1: like can I come cuddle you. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm lonely, like you can come cuddle. And
Speaker 1: it started really innocently, super super PG and then it
Speaker 1: went from maybe a couple days later we finally kissed,
Speaker 1: and then a couple of days later it was like
Speaker 1: now we're sleeping in the bed together. So it was
Speaker 1: it was gradual. It wasn't so like instant like me
Speaker 1: and Johnny. So it was it was a nice It
Speaker 1: was a different feel. It's a different I don't know,
Speaker 1: and in that house at that point, I felt like
Speaker 1: I was there for like three months. Yeah, and he
Speaker 1: was just like he was like like he just felt good.
Speaker 1: It just felt good. And you know, it was nice
Speaker 1: to have someone who you could look at from across
Speaker 1: room and be like hey, like, I don't know, it
Speaker 1: just sounds nice. Oh, at any points did you feel
Speaker 1: any type of way about you know, the tory of
Speaker 1: it all. So at the beginning, because so the house
Speaker 1: didn't know me and Jordan were connecting on that level
Speaker 1: for a while. Actually we kept it pretty on the hushush.
Speaker 1: No one knew. I didn't tell Nelsen it in Tell
Speaker 1: my Girls. He didn't tell anybody because we just didn't
Speaker 1: want the judgments, you know, and when they found out,
Speaker 1: and I saw when they found out, and I saw
Speaker 1: all the way Tory felt. I spent like an entire
Speaker 1: day balling my eyes out because I'm like, damn, like,
Speaker 1: I've been there. I've been there. I've been in that
Speaker 1: situation where you watch someone else who you care about
Speaker 1: move on with someone else, and it's like in that environment.
Speaker 1: Like I was telling her, I was like, this is
Speaker 1: not X on the Beach. You did not sign up
Speaker 1: for X on the Beach, And I'm sorry that I
Speaker 1: made you have to witness your x X fiance at that,
Speaker 1: you know, moving on with someone else. In the real world,
Speaker 1: it would have been a different situation because you know,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't have seen it. It would have happened, but
Speaker 1: she wouldn't have seen it, right, So I did I
Speaker 1: have felt bad. I definitely felt bad because my my I,
Speaker 1: like I was saying in this episode, like I made
Speaker 1: a selfish decision because I really wasn't thinking about anybody else,
Speaker 1: Like I was just worried about myself at the time.
Speaker 1: And when I finally noticed that, well, when the when
Speaker 1: the house found out about me and Jordan, you know.
Speaker 1: That's when I was like, oh shit, when I seen
Speaker 1: the way that she reacted and I seen that she
Speaker 1: we were having a movie night and she left the
Speaker 1: movie like ten minutes into it. Me and him weren't
Speaker 1: even tough. We were just in the same like bed
Speaker 1: and left. And then you see you hear the talks
Speaker 1: from Amber being like, oh my god. That's when she
Speaker 1: goes out there. It's getting uncomfortable because they're touching. We
Speaker 1: weren't even touching, and then hear Plissa go out there,
Speaker 1: and then half the house is going out there to
Speaker 1: console her, and I'm just like, well, shit, okay, and
Speaker 1: then I felt like shipping damn. Like my intentions were
Speaker 1: never to make her feel less than like I never
Speaker 1: meant to make her feel like, I don't know, uncomfortable
Speaker 1: or anything, which is why we were doing it on
Speaker 1: the downlow, which is why you know, we never told anyone.
Speaker 1: He never showed it at all, like PDA was never
Speaker 1: shown until maybe that one clip where they showed me
Speaker 1: and him in the kitchen. But we never were like
Speaker 1: each other that like that. So I did feel shitty
Speaker 1: about that, But at the same time, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: am I am I supposed to always put someone else's
Speaker 1: feelings in front of mine, or am I supposed to
Speaker 1: just live my life and just you know, go for
Speaker 1: what feels good for me at the you know, like
Speaker 1: when I think back to it, very stupid, selfish decision.
Speaker 1: Like still that's why I felt then. I still feel
Speaker 1: that now, But it's hard to say that I regret
Speaker 1: it because Jordan was such a great person to me,
Speaker 1: Like I loved I loved what we had going on,
Speaker 1: and like I love that. Like it wasn't like we
Speaker 1: were just taking a day by day just enjoying each
Speaker 1: other's company. In the conversation. It wasn't like we were
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, it was it was great.
Speaker 1: It was so are you too still friends? You and Jordan? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're great friends. Um me and him. I think we
Speaker 1: hung out probably like two days after he got back,
Speaker 1: and you know, talked, and then we just we kind
Speaker 1: of had conversations of just like I don't I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't know. I'm more a girl.
Speaker 1: Are you blowing my gosh? Oh my goodness. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I came back home and I told Johnny about everything,
Speaker 1: and Johnny handled in a very weird situation. But at
Speaker 1: that point I knew that if I had to choose
Speaker 1: be changed Johnny and Jordan, that my feelings were more
Speaker 1: towards Johnny, that more than I ever thought, you know.
Speaker 1: Coming back home and you know, processing it all, I realized, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe he did like Johnny a little bit more than
Speaker 1: you put off, and um so coming back, I was
Speaker 1: just like, you know, when he came back and I knew,
Speaker 1: you know, for Jordan, our connection was still there. It
Speaker 1: was a hard place to be in because I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to lead you on, so I should
Speaker 1: have told him, like listen, like I love our friendship
Speaker 1: and I genuinely value you and I don't want to
Speaker 1: lose you at all. But I don't think that we
Speaker 1: should take it to the next level. I don't think
Speaker 1: we should be sexual. I don't think that we should,
Speaker 1: you know, just I think we should just just be friends.
Speaker 1: And he is, if I say, Jordan is so amazing
Speaker 1: because he understood so well. He sent me back a
Speaker 1: nice paragraph like he was so understanding, and never once
Speaker 1: after that made me feel uncomfortable, Like we hung out
Speaker 1: thousands like so many times, and he never once, like
Speaker 1: put the moves even a mind. You were drinking, we're
Speaker 1: having fun. We're in different environments where he could have
Speaker 1: even you know, still tried to shoot his shot, and
Speaker 1: he didn't. He respected me, He respected you know, the
Speaker 1: connection and the friends that we had, and it's just
Speaker 1: been a great friendship since. Like and I can never
Speaker 1: say anything back. Oh I love to hear that. Yeah
Speaker 1: all right, Jordan, Yeah great. So I'm like, break from
Speaker 1: the love triangles, Okay, I want to dive into this
Speaker 1: daily challenge. Now this trivia. Okay, it's TJ's favorite time
Speaker 1: to annoy the cast members. Right this one. However, like
Speaker 1: usually with trivia, it's heights and water attached, y'all were
Speaker 1: on the ground. Okay, but spinning was involved. Now, how
Speaker 1: did you feel about that trivia and spinning? How how
Speaker 1: did that work for you? I loved every second of it,
Speaker 1: absolutely loved every single second of it. The moment I've
Speaker 1: seen the spinning wheel, I said, yes, this is so
Speaker 1: much fun. I would to say, like, I'm not someone
Speaker 1: who gets nauseous easily, and when it comes to trivia,
Speaker 1: like I said, I literally do this for fun, like yeah,
Speaker 1: and like that's not even that wasn't even like preparing
Speaker 1: to go on the challenge, like I do trivia, I
Speaker 1: do sudoku, I do puzzles and all that for fun
Speaker 1: on my phone every day because I'm a loser, like
Speaker 1: and just like I'm a little nerd, so you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, so that's for me. As soon
Speaker 1: as I heard trivia, I was like, let's get it.
Speaker 1: And then at that point I'm like, yeah, this so
Speaker 1: this is where I get to shine, is where I
Speaker 1: can help my team. This is where now at that
Speaker 1: point I'm feeling positive. I'm like, oh yeah, there's no
Speaker 1: way that my team's gonna lose, like no offense and Nelson,
Speaker 1: but they got Nelson on the other side, Like we
Speaker 1: got the brains on this side. There should be no
Speaker 1: excuse for us not to win, like maybe down to person,
Speaker 1: but we're we got all the brains over here. So
Speaker 1: it's like I was, I went into it very very hopeful.
Speaker 1: How fast or slow was that will actually spinning it?
Speaker 1: Actually it was going fastest shit, Like it was higher
Speaker 1: time my team was complete. They were the biggest babies.
Speaker 1: I the biggest babies Sport Vergetiers, Devin Vergetiers, Ambram Riah tears.
Speaker 1: I'm just like the entire and then the entire time
Speaker 1: we're spinning, I'm literally like, are you just like going around?
Speaker 1: And at one point Devin was liker shut the fuck up,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why I'm having fun. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't care because they were so miserable. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: were hated that I was having such a good time
Speaker 1: I was having I was telling that's not in my life.
Speaker 1: I was like, I said to me, it was. It
Speaker 1: was like a carnival game. And for them, they were miserable.
Speaker 1: They were like, she's good at another thing. She's good
Speaker 1: at spinning too, ye, and then my own team and everything,
Speaker 1: we're just like, shut up. I was like, okay, So
Speaker 1: I want to tap into Nelson because, as you said,
Speaker 1: trivia is not his thing, right, but he showed out
Speaker 1: on this day, showed out on this daily, and so
Speaker 1: it raises the question, are you his good luck charm?
Speaker 1: Because let me tell you one thing, Nelson has been
Speaker 1: showing out so far this season, right, and I personally,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say it on record,
Speaker 1: I think it's because of you. I think you brought
Speaker 1: something to this season to him that his antennas are
Speaker 1: at one thousand, right, and so when you see him
Speaker 1: and he's giving you these praises in the interrogation and
Speaker 1: all these other kind of things, how does that make
Speaker 1: you feel? Oh, it made me feel amazing because it
Speaker 1: was nice, Like I'm always I'm still to this day,
Speaker 1: I will say it again, say it all the time,
Speaker 1: like I'm so thankful for him for him giving me
Speaker 1: this opportunity because if it wasn't for him, I would
Speaker 1: have never been there. And then to see the way
Speaker 1: that it went about, because going in there, I was
Speaker 1: kind of skeptical, like if people have seen me and
Speaker 1: him on X on the beach, like girl X on
Speaker 1: the beach. He came out and I was like, it
Speaker 1: was it was very negative. It was very much like
Speaker 1: me and him just butting heads the entire time. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I didn't know what to expect going
Speaker 1: into this at all. And the way that was just
Speaker 1: so perfect, Like our communication skills were amazing. So I
Speaker 1: can genuinely say like we did everything together, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what made us such like so connected. Also
Speaker 1: in the game, like let's say I was going to
Speaker 1: get breakfast, like I made sure to go put breakfast
Speaker 1: aside for him. If I knew he was working out
Speaker 1: like we would work out together, we would would he
Speaker 1: would make sure to keep me accountable, like if I
Speaker 1: was gonna lose my cool, he would pull me aside
Speaker 1: and we would have great conversations. It was like everything overall,
Speaker 1: I think is what how it translated into the game
Speaker 1: because our communication, everything connection was just there, like there
Speaker 1: was like genuinely like my best friend. So me and
Speaker 1: him actually spent time together and actually got to know
Speaker 1: each other aside from just the game. And I think
Speaker 1: that will helped us out at the end. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what I know. And then obviously I will
Speaker 1: definitely say I'm his good luck charm, and I think
Speaker 1: he'll say it too. He'll give me all that credit
Speaker 1: as you see, like you know, he's miserable on his
Speaker 1: team now without me like he was. You know, he's like, man,
Speaker 1: I had someone real by my side, someone who I
Speaker 1: knew and definitely had my back, and then now he's
Speaker 1: on this other team where they're being shady towards him,
Speaker 1: and he's just like, you see, like this is why
Speaker 1: he would have preferred to just be with me. It
Speaker 1: shows through the way you guys compete, that the rapport
Speaker 1: was tight, like we could see that you guys genuinely
Speaker 1: were Ride or Dies even would you guys being on
Speaker 1: opposite sides, you can tell. No, they still rolling to
Speaker 1: the wheels fall off. And that's something I definitely appreciated,
Speaker 1: seeing him giving you your flowers, girl, or something I
Speaker 1: appreciated seeing. I thought it was so beautiful to see
Speaker 1: that side of him. And I'm so glad you brought
Speaker 1: up X on the Beach because I was going to
Speaker 1: tap into that too, because not only are you two
Speaker 1: right and Dies, you guys are also exist. So I
Speaker 1: guess my question is, at any point did you guys
Speaker 1: happen to slip down memory Lane at any point this season? No,
Speaker 1: not at all ever, um thankfully, oh, thank god, honest,
Speaker 1: I was. I was really for him in when. And
Speaker 1: it's funny because people people would think that dynamic would
Speaker 1: have been so weird because like, obviously Olivia's my girl,
Speaker 1: Me and him are exes and I was helping them
Speaker 1: out the entire time. But I loved seeing him f
Speaker 1: with someone else, and I think vice versa. I think
Speaker 1: he enjoyed seeing me happy. And you know that's all
Speaker 1: that mattered. We never I mean we would randomly talk
Speaker 1: about like different situations x on the beach because people
Speaker 1: always ask like, oh, how was that, like what was
Speaker 1: your experience? Like um, But aside from that, no, like
Speaker 1: everything was just super like just on a friendship level,
Speaker 1: like it's I know, I hate when people say this,
Speaker 1: especially when they've had like a pass in a history,
Speaker 1: but like literally, like my brother, now it's been it's
Speaker 1: been five years too, so I'm just like literally like
Speaker 1: a brother now Never, I couldn't. I can't imagine taking
Speaker 1: it down and go and get going too that. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: not so at this point, is it's safe to say
Speaker 1: that this season strengthened the friendship between you and Nelson? Yeah, definitely, definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I never in a million years would have ever expected
Speaker 1: mine and his friendship to be where it's at now,
Speaker 1: like outside now, outside of the game, outside when we
Speaker 1: got home, I can genuinely say he's one of my friends.
Speaker 1: Like we literally talk every other day, if not every
Speaker 1: like to the point where like if I don't hear
Speaker 1: from him or he doesn't hear from me for like
Speaker 1: two days, like he tells me like, oh, hello, I
Speaker 1: haven't heard from you like you good, And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I haven't talked to you because I've been busy.
Speaker 1: He's like, okay, well I don't care if you've been
Speaker 1: busy big time for me. And I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: call me literally like I was. He invited me to
Speaker 1: spend Thanksgiving with him and his family. Oh it's been yeah,
Speaker 1: like like I said, literally like the best, like and
Speaker 1: whenever he's going through it, like I would say, I've
Speaker 1: been there for him like this entire for the past however,
Speaker 1: money ments, we've been home, like he calls me about everything,
Speaker 1: you know, before he does anything or ox off emotion,
Speaker 1: he calls me he asked me for advice twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven. You know, I genuinely would would say like,
Speaker 1: that's literally one of my best friends right now, Like
Speaker 1: I haven't penned it in my messages. Oh I love that.
Speaker 1: I love love love that. So before we go any further,
Speaker 1: we need to take a quick break, but we'll be
Speaker 1: right back after this. Well, let's go on and get
Speaker 1: into it because we're coming back to Tory. So now
Speaker 1: your team lost the Daily, right, and so a girl
Speaker 1: has to go in and her name is on the
Speaker 1: chopping block, right, so you decide to have Oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if you decided or she
Speaker 1: just I don't know how I played out inform me.
Speaker 1: You guys end up having this conversation, you and Tori?
Speaker 1: How does that come about? And was that strategic or
Speaker 1: was that a genuine conversation? No, it wasn't strategic. It
Speaker 1: was literally just like a conversation that really needed to
Speaker 1: be had because I was like, you know, I was
Speaker 1: at that point, I'm still thinking I'm gonna be there
Speaker 1: for a while. I never wanted to make her feel uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: so I pulled her aside and I was like, do
Speaker 1: you want to talk? You know, like let's just put
Speaker 1: it all out there, because I'd rather not just walk
Speaker 1: around here walking on egg shows and feeling really uncomfortable. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was like I wouldn't say Tori was the messy one,
Speaker 1: because she wasn't. But it was like, you hear Amber
Speaker 1: running around being like oh my god. Like Amber would
Speaker 1: come pretend like she's my friend and then go run
Speaker 1: to Tory and be like that that makes me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Are you hear Anissa trying to be messy? You know?
Speaker 1: Telling people, so like you hear the rumors, and I
Speaker 1: was just tired of the rumors before I go off.
Speaker 1: Let me go talk to the person that I should
Speaker 1: be talking to before I go off on everyone else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that going straight to her as opposed
Speaker 1: to entertaining the crowd. I appreciate that. I really do
Speaker 1: the Firestarter Committee. I understand that that's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. Okay.
Speaker 1: So then in saying that, she kept saying it's not personal,
Speaker 1: it's not personal, it's just a game, and her wanting
Speaker 1: to get you put as the vote to go into elimination.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that it was fifty fifty for a fact,
Speaker 1: because at that point, I've already proved myself. Like I
Speaker 1: there was in the mini there was a time where
Speaker 1: Devin and Tory were ahead of us, and because they
Speaker 1: got the puzzle faster, but like the moment me and
Speaker 1: Nelson figured it out maybe five minutes later, like we
Speaker 1: blew them out of water. So I already knew that
Speaker 1: she knew like competitifies like I was a big threat,
Speaker 1: like I we passed her like sprinted by them, like
Speaker 1: after they had already left us at the puzzle forever ago, like,
Speaker 1: so I think like game wise, I definitely think that
Speaker 1: I had proven to her like that I was a threat,
Speaker 1: but one thousand percent she didn't want to keep seeing
Speaker 1: me in Jordan, so she it was that was definitely
Speaker 1: like it was fifty and as much as much as
Speaker 1: she said no, it's not personal, it was one thousand
Speaker 1: percent personal too. Like I know for a fact, no
Speaker 1: one wants to see their ex like connecting with anyone else.
Speaker 1: And if you can cut the connection off early, you
Speaker 1: might as well do it. Yeah, do at this point
Speaker 1: in time, is there any like, is there any awkwardness
Speaker 1: between you and Tori and now the show is over?
Speaker 1: Or are YouTube core draw all your friends? Like what's
Speaker 1: what's the status of bad? Oh? Me and her are
Speaker 1: were super cordial? Now I truly believe, like totally handle
Speaker 1: the situation really well. Um And I couldn't say that
Speaker 1: many people would have handled it the way that she did.
Speaker 1: Like now out here in the outside world, I don't
Speaker 1: think like, at least for my knowledge, I don't think
Speaker 1: she's like she She's had She's could have had multiple
Speaker 1: opportunities to talk down on me, talk down to my name,
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, beat sightful, and she never
Speaker 1: did that. You know, she's she's been amazing, you know
Speaker 1: she yea, yeah, I'm actually shocked, Like I truly am
Speaker 1: shocked because I don't know if I could have been
Speaker 1: as big of a woman as she is. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you this, do you think this entire situation right?
Speaker 1: Do you think Jordan could have gone about this situation
Speaker 1: better than he did? I mean maybe, but I think
Speaker 1: he was just living his best life. Like at that point,
Speaker 1: it had been a year and a half since they
Speaker 1: had even spoken, um, and he's already been gone multiple
Speaker 1: times like prior to that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I know it's because the environment was weird, so like
Speaker 1: I know the environment is like oh because you're you know,
Speaker 1: she's there too, But like, let him live his best
Speaker 1: life like he's been. I mean, I don't necessarily know
Speaker 1: the whole situation between them two, but like he's already
Speaker 1: gone through his ship, Like, let him have his fun,
Speaker 1: let him if he found found comfort in me, like,
Speaker 1: let him do it. Like I maybe maybe he maybe
Speaker 1: we should have kept him more on the down low
Speaker 1: so no one knew, But like I think that if
Speaker 1: I was making him happy, like I'm glad I did
Speaker 1: because in that environment, he was stressed. Wow, I think
Speaker 1: about he was in an environment after a year and
Speaker 1: a half, and he was living in a house with Bessie,
Speaker 1: so it's like, you know, like he was dealing with
Speaker 1: his own ship too. Okay, all right, so we're going
Speaker 1: into the interrogation, right, five votes, Mama, five votes against you?
Speaker 1: How did that make you feel? And was there anyone
Speaker 1: who voted against you that you felt betrayed by? Nope?
Speaker 1: I saw it coming. I saw it coming. Um. I
Speaker 1: knew that out of the eight people on that team,
Speaker 1: I actually was shocked the way that the other three
Speaker 1: votes went. But I knew for a fact because I knew, look,
Speaker 1: I would have never said my name, that's my best
Speaker 1: my girl in the house, and Nelson, of course not.
Speaker 1: And then I knew that Bessie at that point already
Speaker 1: viewed me as a friend too, that I knew that
Speaker 1: Bessie would never do that to me or do that
Speaker 1: to Nelson. So I knew for a fact the only
Speaker 1: three people I guaranteed on my side were them, So
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew it. I was like, there's no
Speaker 1: way they're They're all five of them are definitely saying
Speaker 1: my name. I knew for a factory, and Nisa would
Speaker 1: say my name because of Jordan Bananas at that point,
Speaker 1: not my friend Chauncey already said his name. And then
Speaker 1: I forget who the last one, Oh Casey, and then
Speaker 1: obviously I knew Casey wasn't gonna do anything to Obviously
Speaker 1: she's with Nannie. So I already knew that the votes
Speaker 1: were going to be that way, Like I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: was prepared. I went into that, it's into the elimination
Speaker 1: knowing for a fact that it was going to be me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, girl, I know that feeling. I hate it.
Speaker 1: I know that feeling. Yeah. But you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad you brought up Nannie because I wanted Now
Speaker 1: that you've seen the episode, right, how did it feel
Speaker 1: seeing that she made a deal with the other girl
Speaker 1: and not you? How did that feel watching that? So
Speaker 1: after interrogation, because of how everything went the first time
Speaker 1: with that team and they weren't on the same page,
Speaker 1: they all decided that it was going to be as
Speaker 1: the main vote when they were in interrogation, after interrogating
Speaker 1: all of us, they already knew. So when they came back.
Speaker 1: First thing Nelson said was okay. Nelson came and he
Speaker 1: told me so. Now, moving forward throughout the house for
Speaker 1: the rest of the day, it was I already knew
Speaker 1: everyone knew Neas's main vote, So now it was up
Speaker 1: to Nanni, Maria and to figure it out within them
Speaker 1: three to figure out which one of them was going
Speaker 1: to be. So I thought I didn't have a choice
Speaker 1: at that point. I think if roles were switched and like,
Speaker 1: let's say we didn't know, I truly believe that Nanni
Speaker 1: and I would have talked because I think Nannie and
Speaker 1: I were a lot closer and we bonded a lot
Speaker 1: more than her and Maria. So I think if it
Speaker 1: would have came down, if it would have been different,
Speaker 1: I think Nanni would have had my back and me
Speaker 1: and her probably would have talked game. But then it
Speaker 1: would have been a yeah, I don't know what it
Speaker 1: would have been interesting. I don't know, but I didn't
Speaker 1: know that her an Amber had. I didn't know her
Speaker 1: and Amber had like had talked about anything like that
Speaker 1: was shocking to me. I was like, oh, interesting, because
Speaker 1: Amber always talks and cries about how the Vets never
Speaker 1: have her back, so I figured that at that point,
Speaker 1: like she didn't really I didn't think that she had
Speaker 1: talked to Nannie. I thought her and Maria were like
Speaker 1: best friends, so I didn't know that her and Nanni
Speaker 1: were gonna be Oh girl, the more you learn as
Speaker 1: you watch, the more you learn, the more you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then also Amber had been going through to some
Speaker 1: family stuff. So Amber had told us all all the
Speaker 1: girls and our team that she kind of wanted to
Speaker 1: go home. So that's kind of when me and Maria
Speaker 1: talked him. That's when I actually asked Maria. I said, Maria,
Speaker 1: I think you should go make a deal with Nanni.
Speaker 1: That way, Amber is the one that goes up against me.
Speaker 1: Because at that point I figured, all right, well, Maria
Speaker 1: doesn't want to leave, Nanni doesn't want to and if
Speaker 1: Amber wants to leave, like we might as want to
Speaker 1: make it easier instead of it being messy and maybe
Speaker 1: Mariah going against me or Nanni. We can make sure
Speaker 1: that you two are you know, an alliance right now
Speaker 1: for the day, and then Amber can be the one
Speaker 1: thrown thrown in. Other three ladies, who did you feel
Speaker 1: the most confident going up against If you could choose form.
Speaker 1: It was fifty fifty between Nanni and Amber. I felt
Speaker 1: like they were they were us. Three girls were kind
Speaker 1: of like the same body types. So I figured that
Speaker 1: would be the most fair elimination, Like I figured that
Speaker 1: would be the one that it would be like fifty fifty.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know who was going to win. It kind
Speaker 1: of just depended on who gave more, gave it, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gave it more or whatever. Definitely wouldn't have wanted
Speaker 1: to go against Mariah because Maria definitely had sighs on me.
Speaker 1: She had thighs on me. Do you see them abs?
Speaker 1: I said, nothing good? I love her two thousand, my girl.
Speaker 1: So I was like, you do not want to go
Speaker 1: against my girl, but also don't want to go against
Speaker 1: hercause she's a fucking beast. Yeah, but you are too though, Okay,
Speaker 1: you are too though. So your opponent is Amber. You
Speaker 1: see what the elimination is immediately because I did Paul
Speaker 1: Wrestl too, right, What is your strategy? I swear I
Speaker 1: didn't even have a strategy at that point. I'm seeing
Speaker 1: this random ball with all these random ass candles. I said,
Speaker 1: how does anyone even prepare for this? Like I had
Speaker 1: no idea. All I knew at that moment was you
Speaker 1: just gotta give her your all. Like I was just
Speaker 1: like and like I said, I've grown up. I had
Speaker 1: grew up with nothing but brothers, and wrestling for WWE
Speaker 1: was big for us. So like wrestling and you know,
Speaker 1: actual fist fighting with guys like my brothers was always
Speaker 1: very much a thing that we did. So I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pretend like I'm fighting one of them,
Speaker 1: and I would give it my all. My brothers used
Speaker 1: to do all this crazy shit to me, and I
Speaker 1: would always come out on top. And I used to
Speaker 1: make my brother's tap out. So I was like, if
Speaker 1: I can do it to them, I can do it
Speaker 1: to amber point. I gotta give it your all. I
Speaker 1: didn't even have a strategy. Now looking back, I definitely
Speaker 1: wish I wish I would have. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: guys done my research. I think that's when experience comes
Speaker 1: into play. You know once you do it, or you
Speaker 1: know you're being coached by someone who's already done it.
Speaker 1: I think that helps. And I couldn't hear anybody up top,
Speaker 1: like I was so focused, yeah that they were yelling
Speaker 1: things at me. Like when I talk to them now,
Speaker 1: Like Jordan was like, yeah, I was telling Nelson's to
Speaker 1: tell you the twist. Nelson was telling the choice. I
Speaker 1: was like, I couldn't hear any of you guys. I
Speaker 1: was focused. People was asking me, day, I wish your
Speaker 1: strategy with the hold on what I mean like at all,
Speaker 1: exactly what you see in the second one. When we
Speaker 1: went for the second round, I had her, I only
Speaker 1: only had it by one hand. At that point, I
Speaker 1: kind of done my mind mentally. I was like, if
Speaker 1: I can't find a way to put my second hand
Speaker 1: on this thing, I'm gonna lose because she has two
Speaker 1: hands on it, like and she Yeah, she's nimble and flexible.
Speaker 1: Did you see her? She literally had She was everywhere,
Speaker 1: literally and so I'm like, I'm not flexible like that.
Speaker 1: So I already knew that. I'm like, I need to
Speaker 1: find a way to get my other hand or I'm
Speaker 1: about to lose. And that's exactly what happened. You know,
Speaker 1: She she got, she got, She had the better, the
Speaker 1: better grip strength at that moment. For a fact, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad you brought up the second round because as
Speaker 1: a viewer, Amber wins the first round, right, and we
Speaker 1: see your face going into the second round. You looked defeated?
Speaker 1: Were you because it looked like and it's and I
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but I was. I U I
Speaker 1: had I had a really bad hip. I could barely
Speaker 1: walk at that point. I had barely been able to
Speaker 1: walk for like a week already. At that point, um
Speaker 1: really really bad. Like I had messed up my hip
Speaker 1: and my groin. So I already was in so much
Speaker 1: pain from my hip that that first round it was
Speaker 1: killing me. And then not only did I that I
Speaker 1: hurt my forearm in the first round. So at that point,
Speaker 1: I'm going into it like can barely walk, and this
Speaker 1: is you know, we're throwing ourselves in the ground and
Speaker 1: you need your leg strength to get up. And it
Speaker 1: was like I could barely move and and everybody else
Speaker 1: in the house can vouch for me, because I'm like
Speaker 1: I literally was like hobbling around for like two weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so um, now that I hurt my forearm, I
Speaker 1: was just like, damn, Like that's that's two now, Like
Speaker 1: now not my only beg in my arms. So going
Speaker 1: into the second round, I kind of knew that, So
Speaker 1: I was like, but I'm so mad at myself for that.
Speaker 1: I think back to it and I'm just like, damn,
Speaker 1: Like I knew. I knew I was defeated, Like I
Speaker 1: was already defeated. But I shouldn't have let that get
Speaker 1: to me. I should have just been like, no, fuck it,
Speaker 1: like keep going. But but you didn't quit. That's true.
Speaker 1: I did not. You didn't quit. You gave her And
Speaker 1: I don't tell you something because to the average eye
Speaker 1: watching YouTube go into this elimination, it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: Amber about to tear her up, but she didn't. She
Speaker 1: didn't like you gave her a run for her money.
Speaker 1: And I was watching it like come on, and I
Speaker 1: love Amber, but I was like, come on, the reath,
Speaker 1: come out and get up, like and we were going
Speaker 1: in at the screen. It took a long time that actually,
Speaker 1: like it was the first round was so long, like
Speaker 1: it took everything. There was parts where like me and
Speaker 1: her were literally both slaying there like trying to catch
Speaker 1: our breath because it was going on for so long
Speaker 1: that we couldn't even move anymore. And then we're like
Speaker 1: every single like it was always like yep, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was crazy. Wow. Also shout out to the challenge guards.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they knew, but that was the
Speaker 1: one elimination I've always wanted to do. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: I you know, I always said that if I was
Speaker 1: gonna do an elimination, I always wanted to be a
Speaker 1: pole Russell because I always want to tell, you know,
Speaker 1: show that I'm stronger than I look. I always wanted
Speaker 1: to prove it to myself. So when I walked out
Speaker 1: there and I seen it, I was like, like, if
Speaker 1: you see me, I have a big smile the entire
Speaker 1: time because I was just like, I was just happy.
Speaker 1: I was like, what are the odds? Like I finally
Speaker 1: made it to the challenge, competed and did amazing and
Speaker 1: now I'm finally my elimination, doing my dream elimination, like
Speaker 1: I couldn't haven't had. I wasn't mad. I was super happy.
Speaker 1: I mean, it did suck that I got sent home,
Speaker 1: but like, hey, it was it was amazing, great experience.
Speaker 1: You know what, in this game, losing it sucks. It sucking.
Speaker 1: It hurts, especially if you're hungry for it and you
Speaker 1: want that win. It hurts, and we all give emotional girl,
Speaker 1: you don't see me snot knows ugly crying like it happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got so emotional when you lost, and I felt it. Girl,
Speaker 1: my eyes started swayed. I didn't cry because I'm a thug,
Speaker 1: but my eyes started sweating a little bit. Right as
Speaker 1: I'm watching you, I felt your tears through the screen.
Speaker 1: What did this season mean to you? What did this
Speaker 1: opportunity mean to you? Um? Like I said, it was,
Speaker 1: don want to cry. I'm such a cry baby. I
Speaker 1: hate it, Um, but it met, I think to me honestly,
Speaker 1: because like I said, I've I've wanted this opportunity for
Speaker 1: a really long time. Uma, and it's it's constantly like
Speaker 1: the fans even now dealing with it, but before it's
Speaker 1: always like she couldn't do this, she can't, she can't,
Speaker 1: she can't, and like all the negatives on me. So
Speaker 1: going into this season, I really just wanted to prove
Speaker 1: it to myself. And then obviously I'm like I have
Speaker 1: so many people that depend on me, so losing at
Speaker 1: that elimination and it was just so like I felt
Speaker 1: like I was letting people down. UM. Also my team
Speaker 1: because like no shape to Amber either, but like um
Speaker 1: at all, because Amber is amazing and I always I
Speaker 1: always feel like I have to say this because people
Speaker 1: think that I like hate Amber and I don't. But
Speaker 1: I think obviously she won her rookie season. I think
Speaker 1: that's amazing. But I at that point, my team had
Speaker 1: told me like I was a stronger asset at that time.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, damn, I just let my whole team down, like,
Speaker 1: let my family down, let myself down. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: so that's that's where I was. My emotions all came
Speaker 1: into play and I was just taking it back. I
Speaker 1: was just like, damn, like I really, I really truly leave.
Speaker 1: I could have won this and now I'm going home. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Don't ever put that much
Speaker 1: pressure on yourself, because I've been there and it's a
Speaker 1: hard heavy load to carry. Don't put that much pressure
Speaker 1: on yourself. You go there, you compete, and you have fun. Yes,
Speaker 1: let those things that are in the back of your
Speaker 1: mind and in your heart, let that drive you to
Speaker 1: get that win. Let that be your motivation, But don't
Speaker 1: let it become a burden to push you through the season,
Speaker 1: because that's gonna cloud your judgment. Every single time. Girl
Speaker 1: been there, done that, got the T shirt, that hat,
Speaker 1: and the jacket bit there. Okay, so don't don't don't
Speaker 1: let it girl. You out to give me emotional Let's
Speaker 1: move on. We look forward. The game for you is
Speaker 1: not over. TJ. Tell you come back girl. Man, I'm
Speaker 1: back girl. Set me cry all over against and I'll
Speaker 1: just get both my eyes out. Now you're gonna I'm
Speaker 1: bueling mindself because I'm sad, and now you're gonna give
Speaker 1: me something good news. I'm gonna cry all over again.
Speaker 1: I'm crying happy tears, like I was like I when
Speaker 1: I tell you that feeling, especially like as a fan too.
Speaker 1: They haven't done redemption in so long. Like when I
Speaker 1: got walked back in there, I was so shocked because
Speaker 1: they were like, you're gonna do pickups? I said, pickups
Speaker 1: for what what do you guys need me to pick up?
Speaker 1: So I walked back in there and I just see
Speaker 1: TJ there and he's like he's like hey, and I'm
Speaker 1: like hey, like I'm in pain. I'm blimping off to him.
Speaker 1: My arm's hurting. I'm like, hey, what's up And he's
Speaker 1: like yeah. You know. And the season you ride by
Speaker 1: your partner, you die by your partner. Your ride or
Speaker 1: die is still in the game, and I was just
Speaker 1: so excited because at that point, all I'm thinking to
Speaker 1: myself was I'm winning this ship. I'm winning like I'm
Speaker 1: winning this ship because if Nelson stays in the game
Speaker 1: and we come back and me and him a rider dies,
Speaker 1: There's no there was literally there was no doubt in
Speaker 1: my mind that we were gonna we were gonna lose,
Speaker 1: like we had already proven to be such a great
Speaker 1: ride or die pair that all I thought. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: So that means if I'm still here because of Nelson,
Speaker 1: that means the teams are gonna switch up back to
Speaker 1: partners soon. That's what I'm thinking. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: it's gonna go back to partners. And when me and
Speaker 1: Nelson are together, we work amazing. I don't gotta worry
Speaker 1: about being on a losing team. That's amazing. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: But now all of all I knew was that that
Speaker 1: was just like God doing me a favor, because, like
Speaker 1: I said, I was injured like already and I needed
Speaker 1: physically a break for sure. So I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: got to go to Redemption and chill and get my
Speaker 1: hit better. And I'm gonna come back, yes, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come back stronger. I said, Oh, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a force when I come back. I
Speaker 1: was like, they're not ready. I was like yep. All
Speaker 1: of us thinking was yeah, now I'm winning this, like
Speaker 1: for sure. It was That's all I was in my mind.
Speaker 1: I was so excited. Yes, so going through this week
Speaker 1: and seeing how the cards fail, right, because the beautiful
Speaker 1: thing about going into Redemption and be able to come
Speaker 1: back is when people think you're leaving, they showed the ass, right,
Speaker 1: And so now that you've seen that, knowing that you
Speaker 1: could come back into the game, who were you focused on? Oh?
Speaker 1: That that entire other team? For a fact, I was like, well,
Speaker 1: first off, Banana's and was always my main target. Oh wow, okay,
Speaker 1: like not because he's not like person wise, I think
Speaker 1: he's dope. I actually was shocked that the fact that
Speaker 1: I actually liked him Game one, I don't need you
Speaker 1: to be here. You've already won seven times, been on
Speaker 1: twenty one seasons. Like for what what am I keeping
Speaker 1: you here for? Like at that point I was reading
Speaker 1: exactly and then yeah, I had my thing with Jordan,
Speaker 1: But I said Jordan got to go too, so that
Speaker 1: means to buy both of y'all gotta go, like oh
Speaker 1: you don't walk up? Yeah yeah, coming back. All I
Speaker 1: wanted was to hear that one of those other writer
Speaker 1: diyes were the ones to go home first, like specifically
Speaker 1: those two teams, because I'm like, y'all are just and
Speaker 1: y'all already been here. You guys have already done this.
Speaker 1: Pass the torch like y'all don't need it anymore, you know,
Speaker 1: give it to somebody else. And so at that point,
Speaker 1: that's all I'm thinking, like I gotta get rid of them.
Speaker 1: And still to this day, I regret my decision, or
Speaker 1: our decision might not the decision of putting in an amber,
Speaker 1: because all I wanted to do with put in bananas
Speaker 1: a nanny and we switched our mind. We changed our
Speaker 1: mind two seconds before going into elimination, and I regret
Speaker 1: that because I'm like, why I would have played differently?
Speaker 1: Why why did you guys switch? So we were on
Speaker 1: the bus headed to elimination, and I think Nannie went
Speaker 1: up on Nelson on the bus and had like I
Speaker 1: think she might have cried to him and was like,
Speaker 1: I really can't believe he did this. You know, you're
Speaker 1: my brother. Banana's birthday was the next day, and I
Speaker 1: think the anniversary of her mom's passing was coming up,
Speaker 1: so it was a lot on her too. And then
Speaker 1: she's thinking, you know, Nelson is my friend, who isn't
Speaker 1: who just threw me in? So I knew she was
Speaker 1: going through it emotionally, and so he came up to
Speaker 1: me just like distraught, like he felt like he really
Speaker 1: let a real friend down. And you know Nelson plays
Speaker 1: with his emotions. Yeah, so he was super hurt. We're
Speaker 1: lined up about to go into elimination and he's just like, please,
Speaker 1: Nor It's like, let's not say them. And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: we're saying Bananas a nanny and he's like, no, let's not.
Speaker 1: So we were going back and forth, and all I
Speaker 1: thought to myself was, I've seen this before. You know,
Speaker 1: when Zach and I think good Zach and someone else,
Speaker 1: I forget what's reason it was. They couldn't make a decision.
Speaker 1: They ended up going into elimination. So at that point,
Speaker 1: I'm doct Amanda. So now I'm thinking to myself, do
Speaker 1: I sit here and argue with Nelson and go back
Speaker 1: and forth of him, or do I just decide? You
Speaker 1: know what, Nelson, I'll give you this one because the
Speaker 1: likelihood of us winning another one is pretty high. I'll
Speaker 1: give you this one. And if you want to say
Speaker 1: Amber and Chauncy, I will say Amber and Chauncy. Still
Speaker 1: in hopes that maybe Banana's a Nanni would somehow get
Speaker 1: thrown in. So that's what happened. Never wanted it to
Speaker 1: be Amber, never, she was never even a thought. Um
Speaker 1: always wanted it to be I wish Nanni wasn't tied
Speaker 1: to him because it was. If not, I would have
Speaker 1: just said bananas. But yeah, bananas and Nanna or you
Speaker 1: want to him go? Yes I did. I was like,
Speaker 1: like the shadiest thing. I was like, he gotta go,
Speaker 1: you gotta go. He's too good. The raised You have
Speaker 1: been the bomb on this podcast. However, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: let you go just yet because we have one final segment. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is a fun little game time. We're gonna
Speaker 1: loosen up, you know, do a little little extra trivia. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we have three questions for you about your partner, Nelson. Okay,
Speaker 1: you say, y'all a rider dies that show as Boon Cooon,
Speaker 1: your patna, your main apple scrapper. Right now, it's time
Speaker 1: to prove it. So I have three questions for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: you gotta get them. You're ready, Okay, let's go. Okay.
Speaker 1: Number one, you broke Nelson's very long losing streak. How
Speaker 1: many dailies did he lose in a row before you arrived?
Speaker 1: Fifty two? My wrong? What was it? What was it?
Speaker 1: Fifty four? I thought it was fifty four. Jesus, the
Speaker 1: curse is broken. Hearing that number still to me, I'm
Speaker 1: just like Nelson. How the hell fifty four? That's a
Speaker 1: lot grey waiting on you. It was all in the
Speaker 1: divine purpose? Okay, right? Okay. Number two, so you and
Speaker 1: Nelson were both on are you the one? What season
Speaker 1: was he on? He was on season three? O two
Speaker 1: for two? Last and final question. Oh, this one gets
Speaker 1: on under my skin. Oh my gosh, final question. Finish
Speaker 1: this Nelson quote. Folks were getting down to the needy,
Speaker 1: greedy girl. Three girl. It gets under my skin, like,
Speaker 1: why are you saying this? Nelson? And at this point,
Speaker 1: I think the best part about it is that the
Speaker 1: first time he ever said it, it was such a
Speaker 1: like Nelson what that now. He doesn't give a shit,
Speaker 1: he refused. He will not say neitty gritty. He will
Speaker 1: always say needy greedy. Now from now on, he does
Speaker 1: not care. It's needy greedy, It's not nitty greedy. He
Speaker 1: already decided. He always says, come on, people, Come on people, Nurse.
