Speaker 1: Hello, friends and family. I'm Devin Simone.
Speaker 2: Yes, and once again I am Davon Rogers. And this
Speaker 2: is MTV's official challenge podcast, The Best Podcast.
Speaker 1: Yes it is Girl Davon this episode, I had so
Speaker 1: many shake my head moment, may can not all right, First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a quick breakdown. Then you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta get into it. So the challenge was ball control,
Speaker 1: I'm talking it to climb up the rope on top
Speaker 1: of each other. That looked uncomfortable as hell. They had
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get fifty thousand dollars added to the
Speaker 1: prize pot. You know how much they added six thousand
Speaker 1: dollars right side eying that. There was a lot of arguing,
Speaker 1: there were some weak performances from Chauncey and Hughie, and
Speaker 1: then we get into the voting. All right, house votes
Speaker 1: are in now. Earlier in the episode, we see them
Speaker 1: talking about team USA versus UK, right, talking about we're
Speaker 1: gonna stick to this alliance. That lasted for three point
Speaker 1: two five seconds, because as soon as we get into deliberation,
Speaker 1: a bunch of the Americans are talking about we're gonna
Speaker 1: vote Chauncey in, to the point that Berna even said,
Speaker 1: I don't know if America knows how to be a
Speaker 1: loyal Oh you girl? True?
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Then Chauncey selects James once he gets voted in, James
Speaker 1: like what I do. But alright, Bet also allegedly James
Speaker 1: is six to five. I don't know if that was
Speaker 1: a smart choice. But they go into elimination called Mike Light.
Speaker 1: It's like tic tac toe. I like what the producers
Speaker 1: did with the play on the name there, and the
Speaker 1: winner turns out to be James. Although it got pretty
Speaker 1: close towards the end, like one, Chauncey kind of figured
Speaker 1: it out. It was really a good game and fun
Speaker 1: to watch. Unfortunately, Chauncey goes home, but he is going
Speaker 1: home to his new baby girl days. How did you
Speaker 1: feel about this episode?
Speaker 2: This episode was crazy, like the elimination Like the rest
Speaker 2: of the episode great, but that elimination. I was on
Speaker 2: the edge of my seat and I was screaming on
Speaker 2: the TV like Chauncey, come on, baby, I know you said.
Speaker 2: It was like tic tac toe. I looked at it
Speaker 2: like Connect four, like block the man's lights. Chauncey block
Speaker 2: the man's lights. But once he got the strategy. I mean,
Speaker 2: it was a little too late, but once he got
Speaker 2: it come on.
Speaker 1: It was interesting seeing too how James was getting like
Speaker 1: Chauncey was didn't look tired at all. So it's one
Speaker 1: of those things with the challenge again, it proves that, look,
Speaker 1: some people aren't great with strategy, and maybe that's not
Speaker 1: Chancey's strong Shoot, he's not great at strategy. He's also
Speaker 1: not great at politicking. We're gonna get to that a second.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to endurance and you know, physicality,
Speaker 1: some of those dudes better be happy that Chauncey's gone,
Speaker 1: because clearly he can do endurance. He's clearly he's very strong,
Speaker 1: like you know, and I don't. While in the house,
Speaker 1: I feel like they tried to make it seem from
Speaker 1: you know, his past season that maybe Chauncey is like untrustworthy.
Speaker 1: I actually don't think Chauncey's untrustworthy. I think Chauncey in
Speaker 1: the game is sometimes easily influenced, so it's like he'll
Speaker 1: kind of go with the direction of whatever feels. I
Speaker 1: actually feel like sometimes we see that with Michelle too,
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't think as a person, I
Speaker 1: really don't think Chauncey's like not trustworthy or not loyal.
Speaker 1: I think being that maybe he's not the best strategist.
Speaker 1: That is, you're enough. Yeah, if you're convincing enough in
Speaker 1: the house and you're like we're gonna do this or
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that, he'll do that sometimes not thinking
Speaker 1: three steps ahead of like how is that gonna read
Speaker 1: or how is that gonna affect whomever? You know it's
Speaker 1: it's against I actually probably would have recommended they keep
Speaker 1: him on. I just think they just need to know
Speaker 1: how to be manipulative. Basically, you call it saying that.
Speaker 2: He could be puppeteered.
Speaker 1: Lo it's true though, it's true, but it's not a
Speaker 1: bad thing. Like I would have trusted him as being
Speaker 1: very loyal. As long as you are convincing at you
Speaker 1: know your case, then I'd want Chauncey on my side.
Speaker 2: I think all he needed to do was win a challenge.
Speaker 2: He just needed a little power. I think if you
Speaker 2: want some power, then we would have seen a different
Speaker 2: side of him. That's that's what I think. Some people
Speaker 2: just kind of go with the flow, like I said,
Speaker 2: because they don't want to cause waves. But once you
Speaker 2: get a little piece of power. I think if he won,
Speaker 2: he still would not.
Speaker 1: I still feel like he still would call Like I
Speaker 1: feel like he's an easy going kind of got like
Speaker 1: he's just a chill god. Maybe I'm wrong, Probably not.
Speaker 2: Better shake it up if he come back, you better.
Speaker 1: One thing he better not do is ever hold a
Speaker 1: live Q and A during deliberation ever again in his life,
Speaker 1: ever again in his life.
Speaker 2: Have I ever hurt you in the past.
Speaker 1: Trying to be Maria minwos He better sit out and
Speaker 1: don't ever do that when you're on the chopping block,
Speaker 1: if you're in the winter circle, maybe, but don't do
Speaker 1: it chopping block.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't.
Speaker 1: It is not good. Not good. Another thing that wasn't
Speaker 1: good that Kyland and Melissa moment. Although I'm glad it
Speaker 1: was included. I know you have some feelings about it.
Speaker 1: I'm glad it was included because I appreciate Kyland speaking
Speaker 1: about his diagnosis. We've had him here on the podcast
Speaker 1: before talking about that. I also appreciate just the idea
Speaker 1: that whether you're diagnosed on the spectrum or not, you
Speaker 1: do not have to succumb to public pressure for anything.
Speaker 1: And he will at all, Yeah, like he will.
Speaker 2: You not have to.
Speaker 1: Just because they say do it does not mean you
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 2: And I applaud him for that because he could immediately
Speaker 2: folded to that peer pressure. He was like, I don't
Speaker 2: care what y'all talking about. I'm not gonna do it,
Speaker 2: you know. And then even even though Melissa kind of
Speaker 2: felt like it was at her expense, he later went
Speaker 2: to her and was like, No, this isn't even really
Speaker 2: about right what I'm saying, I have, whatever I have
Speaker 2: going on, this isn't about you, And I'm glad she
Speaker 2: was understanding. I'm glad she was understanding of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm excited to see how that that plays out.
Speaker 1: And also, I mean, I'd rather a dude kiss me
Speaker 1: because he genuinely wants to, not because a bunch of
Speaker 1: friends are saying kiss kiss. Yeah. No, like that's not no,
Speaker 1: that's not the way. All right, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: way real quick. We're gonna do gold Star time out.
Speaker 1: Yes you go first, okay, nomine.
Speaker 2: So my gold star for this episode is Olivia, simply
Speaker 2: because baby, anybody who can let James stand on their
Speaker 2: head on.
Speaker 1: This right that shoulder the girl baby.
Speaker 2: Strength out of this world.
Speaker 1: So Baby, he's made out of something else.
Speaker 2: Listen, Yeah, Olivia, my goal star, go to you bu
Speaker 2: all day. My time out goes to the producers for
Speaker 2: telling TJ right before the elimination to ask Chauncey how
Speaker 2: he felt about his daughter. I didn't like that. I
Speaker 2: did not like that because he was on fire. His
Speaker 2: adrenaline was high. But then when you bring up our babies,
Speaker 2: it's like now you no and plus us in a
Speaker 2: state of vulnerability because now when somebody.
Speaker 1: Asked me about my child's aka my fifteen year old
Speaker 1: York he shout out to Brooks in my left.
Speaker 2: What would make me?
Speaker 1: It would me fire up? It is my child that
Speaker 1: changes diapers without dogs the kids for so how much
Speaker 1: money I've spent on this dog who lasted ten years.
Speaker 1: You'd understand, you would understand when they get old. It's
Speaker 1: not great. I have to say, first of all, shout
Speaker 1: out to TJ and his denim jacket. Yes, sir with
Speaker 1: the pop collar in the arena, Yes, sir, so fly
Speaker 1: love it now. I feel like it could have been
Speaker 1: a slightly to more tailored fit, but overall loving the
Speaker 1: color on you and the Chris White shirt underneath. Yes, TJ,
Speaker 1: here for it. Also, I'm side eyeing as a nominee
Speaker 1: for who's going to get the time out the whole group,
Speaker 1: because y'all only got six thousand dollars. And I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it wasn't just two people's fault. Y'all all were terrible.
Speaker 1: All of y'all were terrible. You know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just go ahead and give you the time out. All
Speaker 1: y'all were absolutely terrible as a team, terrible. But then
Speaker 1: my gold star goes So that was my time out.
Speaker 1: My gold star actually goes to Kylan's. I love how
Speaker 1: he really has been at the forefront of communicating being
Speaker 1: on the spectrum or just being neurodivergent anyway and what
Speaker 1: that means and normalizing it. And as someone who's neuro
Speaker 1: divergent myself in a different way I have add or ADHD,
Speaker 1: I just really appreciate that. And then also as someone
Speaker 1: who also values people who like to beat to their
Speaker 1: own drum yet don't let people pressure you into things
Speaker 1: like do you and do you? That's all that matters,
Speaker 1: and so I really appreciated watching him communicate. I also
Speaker 1: appreciated the representation seeing Kylin massage Melissa with his silk
Speaker 1: Von I don't know if you pot that, go back
Speaker 1: and let the tape in the night vision footage, but
Speaker 1: he's over here misogyn her, talking about who he's gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, strategize him with his silk bonnet, you know
Speaker 1: what to be represented like that, and how I look
Speaker 1: when I go to bed.
Speaker 2: Protect the girl just so much to me, protect the
Speaker 2: curls kind yes, yes, I'm living for it, so living
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: Something else I'm living for today is our special guest
Speaker 1: Navin whooa, yeah, I mean we are going to get
Speaker 1: into it. By the way, this is one of those
Speaker 1: times that I wish we had video because if you
Speaker 1: could see the faces that Davon made through out some
Speaker 1: of this interview, seriously hilarious, as funny as you think
Speaker 1: she is, just imagine that time said and her facial
Speaker 1: expressions hilarious. We get some tea, We get to find
Speaker 1: out the inner workings of Chauncey P. Jordan and his
Speaker 1: line and his strategies. Also a bomb drop. I don't
Speaker 1: want to release it, but listen to it around his family,
Speaker 1: his baby girl. Going on to this challenge. I'd argue
Speaker 1: it's probably challenge first or close to in this exact
Speaker 1: predicament in this exact to comment. So you're not gonna
Speaker 1: want to miss this. Grab your snacks, get comfy, put
Speaker 1: on some house slippers, I don't know, do some online shopping,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, but get comfy. Stay tuned because we
Speaker 1: have an amazing interview with the one and only Chauncey P.

Speaker 2: y'all missed it?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, thank you. I appreciate it so much. She's
Speaker 3: been just like an extra light to my life, so amazing.
Speaker 2: How is fatherhood as a mom? I always asked, how
Speaker 2: is fatherhood coming into being a new parent?
Speaker 3: It has, you know, but I love it. I love
Speaker 3: every every minute of it. I'm still, of course, getting
Speaker 3: used to it, but then this has been she was
Speaker 3: born five months ago, so it's been just amazing.
Speaker 1: She's so adorable, really so freaking Yeah.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. She's like the sweetest. She doesn't like
Speaker 3: cry too much.
Speaker 2: Oh, you guys are blessed.
Speaker 1: Have you seen any personality come out? You know, like,
Speaker 1: I know she's young, but have you seen like do
Speaker 1: you feel like she acts more like you right now
Speaker 1: or more like Amber?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't like she's a Gemini so
Speaker 3: she I see her two faces already. I heard Gemini
Speaker 3: is the very tooth faste. So I'm seeing her like
Speaker 3: happy one day or like one minute, and then she'll
Speaker 3: cry and then smile laugh at it right after. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna worried about that. That's that's all I'm seeing
Speaker 3: right now so far.
Speaker 4: But she's she's going fast, like really tough.
Speaker 1: That's really cute.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's so awesome. I love hearing people talking about
Speaker 2: the kids, and we could talk about kids all day.
Speaker 2: But I want to get into this episode because hot,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh. So let's just dive into it because
Speaker 2: we want to speak for myself. I refer to you
Speaker 2: as Amber's main right, and so I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people also refer to you as Ambers man. So
Speaker 2: coming into this new season, I know you say you're
Speaker 2: fighting for your family, but on top of that were
Speaker 2: you fighting, also to be known as Chauncey the Competitor
Speaker 2: on his own.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't do too good.
Speaker 1: No, I really didn't.
Speaker 4: Really I didn't.
Speaker 3: But you know, you you take lots of the lessons,
Speaker 3: you know, so you know, I just learned from it
Speaker 3: and hopefully if I get another opportunity to do another run,
Speaker 3: just keep moving forward. Yeah, you know, so I really
Speaker 3: didn't like blow too much on it. I soon or
Speaker 3: already knew what.
Speaker 4: I did wrong.
Speaker 3: Like as soon as I got eliminated call, I was like, listen,
Speaker 3: I met Stile. I already knew it already. You know,
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it. But is what it is.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your preparation going into the house, because
Speaker 1: in a way, you you sort of have big shoes
Speaker 1: to feel because you are partnered up with the champion
Speaker 1: right for life. Literally you're right or die. She's an
Speaker 1: excellent player at the game. Did she give you any advice?
Speaker 1: Let's start with this. Did she give you any advice beforehand?
Speaker 1: And if so, what were her words of wisdom before
Speaker 1: going into this challenge house advice?
Speaker 3: She just told me to be myself and just go
Speaker 3: in there and just compete because of her friendships and
Speaker 3: connections I thought going in. I had conversations with certain
Speaker 3: people that they were like, Oh, we're gonna have your
Speaker 3: bag and everything, and like who.
Speaker 1: We need some names, Chancey, Like who who did you
Speaker 1: talk to before the season?
Speaker 4: I talked. I talked to a few people.
Speaker 3: I talked to Raven, one of them before she's at
Speaker 3: the bag out of our baby shower, so she I
Speaker 3: knew she was gonna have my dad. Talked to my
Speaker 3: Mariah a little bit, Cory Ray, I talked to Heally.
Speaker 3: I talked to so I or like had conversations talked
Speaker 3: about me or whatever, saying that they had my back
Speaker 3: and everything.
Speaker 4: So just going into the game, I was.
Speaker 3: Like, Okay, I have these friends that will hopefully have
Speaker 3: my back through it all.
Speaker 4: And it just like stuck to be in a position
Speaker 4: where it's like he or me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where it's one of the people that had Who
Speaker 1: were you most excited to see going into the Challenge house,
Speaker 1: like knowing that you had sort of these connections through
Speaker 1: and burn your own relationships. Who were you just hyped
Speaker 1: to be on the Challenge.
Speaker 4: I was hard to be on the show with Kylon.
Speaker 3: Kylin and I were actually friends outside of the game
Speaker 3: before we even played the season together. So that's also
Speaker 3: like a connection that I had outside of the game.
Speaker 3: So it was just like, I'm excited to actually be
Speaker 3: in the house and play the game with him because
Speaker 3: he's smart, you know, like he's just an animal overall.
Speaker 4: So I was very excited to be there with him.
Speaker 3: And same thing I felt comfortable with, like going in
Speaker 3: the game with Corey because I knew or I thought like, oh,
Speaker 3: I have all.
Speaker 4: These friends, so I should be not you.
Speaker 3: Can't never be not safe, but like I or never
Speaker 3: be saved completely. But I was just like, I have
Speaker 3: these people in the house that I knew I could
Speaker 3: talk to if anything goes stop.
Speaker 2: You know what. Speaking of Kylin, I can you know
Speaker 2: we'll get there when we get there. But I just
Speaker 2: want to say it since you said his name, I
Speaker 2: feel like, in a way, his idea that he came
Speaker 2: back about the burn vautes almost saved you. Almost if
Speaker 2: it would have been played the correct way strategically, it
Speaker 2: could have saved you.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 3: True? I I just I like, I think Kyler's crazy
Speaker 3: because even then I was like, yo, this goes correctly.
Speaker 3: They might not even say me, someone else is gonna
Speaker 3: be and I could just end up saying someone else's
Speaker 3: name and just falling with them, and we could just
Speaker 3: stow somebody else.
Speaker 4: In there randomly.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it just Kylin till he tried great, and
Speaker 3: so I just like I appreciate it, you know, all
Speaker 3: their efforts because.
Speaker 4: Even though it didn't go their way.
Speaker 3: Even at they we didn't really see Ed fighting for
Speaker 3: me too, a software fighting for me. So it's like
Speaker 3: I just appreciate them all just like trying to do
Speaker 3: what they can and get me out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what was the this conversation with Jay at
Speaker 2: the top of the episode. What was going I feel
Speaker 2: like Jay thinks he's masterminding this season so far, So
Speaker 2: what was that about?
Speaker 3: That conversation started because I when we went to the house,
Speaker 3: I didn't talk to Gary, didn't talk to Michelle, So
Speaker 3: I didn't like, we didn't know where each other taes
Speaker 3: were at. I didn't trust them because last season they
Speaker 3: were saying that I was making deals with Jordan and stuff.
Speaker 3: After that was already cleared up at our reunion by
Speaker 3: Jordan's saying that we didn't make the deal and everything.
Speaker 3: So it's like, I it was like after that, I
Speaker 3: don't really trust him in the game. You know, he
Speaker 3: called us had wait the last season, So I'm like,
Speaker 3: why would I trust going it at all? And so
Speaker 3: we kind of were just having this conversation just basically
Speaker 3: talking about just trying to clear stuff up and possibly
Speaker 3: working together and keeping the US Alliance together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen you say that you something was off
Speaker 2: about Jay. Yeah, and yet you still decided to work
Speaker 2: with him. Was it like I'm doing what I have
Speaker 2: to do to stay in the house or were you like,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna give him some grace this season.
Speaker 3: No, I was you know, I'm always like gonna make
Speaker 3: sure keeping h arm the link. But yeah, just because
Speaker 3: that wasn't the only conversation at one point, every single
Speaker 3: person from the US team, even when he came up
Speaker 3: to talk to me to make sure we're all sitting together,
Speaker 3: every single.
Speaker 1: And when did that come up, by the way, like
Speaker 1: when did the sort of US who who was the
Speaker 1: spear header, like the mastermind behind that.
Speaker 4: I don't I honestly don't know.
Speaker 3: I think they already planned it before we even we're
Speaker 3: on our flight to go into Croatia.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the other US players. You're saying, are you okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because when I was going on the flight, my thing,
Speaker 3: the people I had originally was Berna, Hwey, Cordy.
Speaker 4: Lay At, Mariah and Raven, so that's all mixed around.
Speaker 3: But then as soon as I see everyone have a
Speaker 3: fall at the airport and everything, we say our hotel whatever.
Speaker 3: Next thing, you know, get in the house and it's
Speaker 3: like everything switched. I don't know when who started it.
Speaker 3: I wasn't really informed. I guess currently seems like Jay started.
Speaker 3: But for the most part, I think it really like
Speaker 3: started happening when I built a friendship with Jessica and
Speaker 3: people were like, oh, and Chauncey tried with Jessica and
Speaker 3: might be friends with the UK signed, so we got
Speaker 3: to split it out blah blah blah, and basically, you know,
Speaker 3: make sure he's good with us so that way they
Speaker 3: don't have numbers.
Speaker 1: Wow. So there's a lot of scheming going on in
Speaker 1: the house, but we also know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: coupling up going on in the house. Uh, Chauncey, because
Speaker 1: you were there, can you give us some tea about
Speaker 1: some other couples. We see a little bit of the
Speaker 1: Kylin and Melissa thing developing here. Last week we saw
Speaker 1: a little bit of Michelle and her thing. Poor Michelle
Speaker 1: because she didn't know and he had a girl. It's
Speaker 1: a whole thing. But who else should we keep our
Speaker 1: eyes out for?
Speaker 3: What other couples at that moment. I honestly, those were
Speaker 3: the only couples that I seen in the house. I
Speaker 3: won't lie what I you know, that's that's really I
Speaker 3: only seen just in the house.
Speaker 4: I've heard.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I believe you.
Speaker 2: He's keeping his mouth shut for next season.
Speaker 3: I probably, like, I've heard that there were other couples,
Speaker 3: but that was like after I was out the house.
Speaker 1: Did you give them any advice because you've been coupled
Speaker 1: up in the Challenge house? No, granted you, and you're like, no,
Speaker 1: you guys should see his face right now, it's hilarious.
Speaker 3: No, No, I was not going to give them. I
Speaker 3: didn't give nobody any advice, just for the fact that
Speaker 3: like and relationship didn't start in the Challenge right, right,
Speaker 3: So it was a different dynamic going into the house
Speaker 3: where we were already built our foundation and our trust
Speaker 3: and everything going into where like we were even saying
Speaker 3: like I'm thirty eight. Shoot, if you have to send
Speaker 3: me home to get further in the game, do something
Speaker 3: right if you do that with the challenge couple, I
Speaker 3: feel like, or with the relationship starting.
Speaker 1: In the child, I still likes Tori and Tory definitely
Speaker 1: didn't help keep his behind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know Sebastian was just.
Speaker 1: He really was. I mean he was two heads over
Speaker 1: hill for.
Speaker 3: Sure, all the way over. He was like fully in
Speaker 3: love like from day one. I mean, I know it's
Speaker 3: the first sight. However exactly, I feel like there's a
Speaker 3: lot of egos, So I feel.
Speaker 1: Like interesting.
Speaker 4: Happens.
Speaker 1: Is that why you guys couldn't come up with the
Speaker 1: cohesive strategy? Because this is now the second week that
Speaker 1: we're seeing you guys struggle, So walk me through and like,
Speaker 1: knowing what happened in week one, did you and did
Speaker 1: you guys intend to do better regarding coming up with
Speaker 1: the plan and strategizing and not having too many people
Speaker 1: bossing people around? Like what especially because you guys wrote
Speaker 1: hard on the girls last week? So what what was
Speaker 1: the thought process going into this week's daily challenge?
Speaker 4: Yeah? After week one, I remember us all talking.
Speaker 3: We were like, we need to have at least three
Speaker 3: people talk and that's it, or at least if everybody
Speaker 3: wants to talk. Everybody saved their point, but not yelling
Speaker 3: over it, and of course that did not happen. I
Speaker 3: personally was like, I'm just gonna sit back. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to say anything. And because I don't want that
Speaker 3: target to be put on me by give it. You're like, hey, guys,
Speaker 3: we're gonna do it this way, and everything fails. It
Speaker 3: was crazy because I remember, like.
Speaker 4: Like everybody.
Speaker 3: Eventually, after having that big conversation, everybody explained the groups
Speaker 3: and I was told I remember going to each group
Speaker 3: to figure out what my task was and I was
Speaker 3: not told my past until the very minute before we're
Speaker 3: jumping in the water. Like Johnson, you're going to be
Speaker 3: at the top.
Speaker 1: Is the timer going? This is happening? Chohncy, Like while
Speaker 1: you're strategizing, is TJ already counting down the time? Or
Speaker 1: does that not start until you are going into the water.
Speaker 3: He gave us some time to strategize before, and I
Speaker 3: forget how much time specifically, but he did give us
Speaker 3: some time to strategize before, so there was so many
Speaker 3: different like no matter which group you went to talk
Speaker 3: to people, there was a different tasks like oh, you
Speaker 3: might be doing this, and I think Jay said you're
Speaker 3: going to do this, but Karen said you might be
Speaker 3: doing this, and so you know, my Jay side is fine.
Speaker 4: Which was cool.
Speaker 3: They give me what I have to do and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna try my best. They get their job complete. Personally,
Speaker 3: that's not where I would have put myself on the
Speaker 3: chain or whatever. But I wasn't going to argue with
Speaker 3: knowing the fact that we didn't have too much time
Speaker 3: before starting challenge. And on top of that, I'm not
Speaker 3: trying to hear everybody on at me because I don't
Speaker 3: want to do something and now I look like a
Speaker 3: nineteen player.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you both the question, do you think
Speaker 2: it's whise in a situation like that to say, Hey,
Speaker 2: I know my strengths and I know my weaknesses, and
Speaker 2: what you have me doing is not one of my strengths,
Speaker 2: so put me somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Yes, And it is why. And the thing is Hughie
Speaker 3: was and this is why it was quiet. Hughie was
Speaker 3: telling people, I am a good swimmer, I'm a good swimmer.
Speaker 3: I'm a great swimmer. I remember End telling me before
Speaker 3: like Hughie could swim and everything, and nobody was listening
Speaker 3: to They're like, or not, how.
Speaker 4: Do you swim?
Speaker 3: You know, They're like, we're gonna have you on the
Speaker 3: have you on their chain or whatever. So I'm like,
Speaker 3: and they're not listening to him telling that, Why am
Speaker 3: I gonna tell them what I'm good?
Speaker 1: Because you're big muscles?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I I think that even if they don't listen to you,
Speaker 1: I feel like that could have been leveraged. Though we'll
Speaker 1: get into the speech you did gave gave chancey, but
Speaker 1: I feel like that could have been leveraged as your
Speaker 1: rebuttal as to why it shouldn't be you, because at
Speaker 1: that point, then if they're not listening to you, and
Speaker 1: this is just for future hypothetically, if they're not listening
Speaker 1: to you, and you said, hey, I know my strengths
Speaker 1: and I know my weekend, you know, like, well, so
Speaker 1: it's sort of two things too. To your point, Davion, one,
Speaker 1: would I speak up, Yes, if I found if I
Speaker 1: could identify quickly another strength that would benefit that particular game, right,
Speaker 1: So if if I didn't see one the nomledge just
Speaker 1: shut up because I'm a suck at all of it anyway,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna just do my best with what Davis
Speaker 1: sign But if there was one where it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, then there's the eating part or whatever cool
Speaker 1: I can do that, I think actually we did on
Speaker 1: free agents. That's exactly what happened in the first the
Speaker 1: first daily we had to do where we had to
Speaker 1: like run up forty flights of steps and then jump
Speaker 1: off inside the building. Now, granted I didn't catch the flag,
Speaker 1: but I knew I couldn't run up forty bys of steps,
Speaker 1: so we sort of said, this is my strength, this
Speaker 1: is my strength, is my strength. So I would have
Speaker 1: spoken up because then Chauncey, you could have flipped it
Speaker 1: back on them when you didn't do well and said, hey, look,
Speaker 1: as a team player, I communicated. I tried to set
Speaker 1: the team up for a win. You guys didn't listen.
Speaker 1: So now we need to look at who the leaders
Speaker 1: were and who overruled the information. I gave them right.
Speaker 3: And right, and now you know you're right. I overall,
Speaker 3: even like sometimes in de conversations for Amber, I struggled
Speaker 3: with like communication because I'm a quiet verson, I don't
Speaker 3: really speak a lot, kind of just do my thing,
Speaker 3: and you know, I just kind of let life go
Speaker 3: the way so I was supposed to go. But as
Speaker 3: far as that, like, I feel like in that moment,
Speaker 3: I didn't really know how to be. Like, guys, is
Speaker 3: what I'm good at or what I want to do
Speaker 3: when everybody's yelling, you know, like everybody's out. You go
Speaker 3: in a different groups and people are telling you this
Speaker 3: is what you want you and everything in my head,
Speaker 3: I'm just like, all right, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: I mean, just you know, try to do what I can't.
Speaker 3: But you know, I guess in those moments, I just
Speaker 3: gotta you know, like you know, I got to speak
Speaker 3: up more.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like a scenario like this, I always
Speaker 1: ask the takeaway or been asking sort of the takeaway
Speaker 1: from each season from our guests and sort of what, yeah,
Speaker 1: what your most valuable takeaway is from the game this
Speaker 1: time around? Do you feel watching this play out and
Speaker 1: sort of what you just said is your takeaway that
Speaker 1: like you're going to your personal challenge is to start
Speaker 1: pushing yourself in any situation, to advocate for yourself a
Speaker 1: little bit more and speak up a little bit more
Speaker 1: instead of.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I definitely like in certain situations, I'm definitely want
Speaker 3: to sleep my mind. But I guess I think my
Speaker 3: big thing from this whole season was just like working
Speaker 3: on my communication and getting to the point with saying
Speaker 3: what I have today. And I just I feel like
Speaker 3: when I'm trying to talk, words are just going around
Speaker 3: my head like crazy, so it's like it's kind of
Speaker 3: like I'm just putting words together. But I think really
Speaker 3: just paying attention to what I'm saying and what I'm
Speaker 3: trying to say and get to the point is my
Speaker 3: big takeaway from the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you feel like on righted eyes Amber was
Speaker 2: more of the mouthpiece for your team?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely can see that there was like certain
Speaker 3: conversations that was having when Amber was not around as
Speaker 3: far as like gameplay. However, like, for example, I'll bring
Speaker 3: it up like when Nelson was like trying to pushure
Speaker 3: me into saying access and that I didn't say packing
Speaker 3: is in the bar. Amber is going off and I
Speaker 3: personally like, you know, I don't say is what it is? Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know why you're mad or this or whatever,
Speaker 3: And I understand they here kind of switch his game
Speaker 3: around or whatever. But I know I didn't say these words,
Speaker 3: and then we're just flipped flipped off and was like,
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I guess you know.
Speaker 1: It's like that meme. I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: have seen the meme or the tweets or something about
Speaker 1: like yeah, my boyfriend or my husband whatever is quiet.
Speaker 1: So but but he dates me because but he dates
Speaker 1: me because if they get the order wrong, someone's got
Speaker 1: to be the one to like, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: clap back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, that's our dynamics.
Speaker 2: Oh I love this.
Speaker 1: Okay, we have to take a quick break, but we'll
Speaker 1: be right back after this.
Speaker 2: Do you think it was harder to play this time
Speaker 2: around without her? I do this on your own.
Speaker 3: It was hard for a number of reasons. Is going
Speaker 3: in there by myself two days actually my daughter is born,
Speaker 3: not knowing about where you want to go.
Speaker 1: To day. Wait you went to film two day Well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, roll it back, Chauncey. That was the
Speaker 1: lead statement, sir, wait two days after the baby was
Speaker 1: born and you left. That was THEO. We need a
Speaker 1: whole another episode. Just wait. Okay, what were the conversations
Speaker 1: with Amber like through this. No, I'm kidding, but what okay,
Speaker 1: what are the conversations when you got the call and
Speaker 1: you telling Amber because she's pregnant. I'm assuming when you
Speaker 1: got the call and how who who initially? Like was
Speaker 1: your initial reaction yes, I'm definitely gonna go or was
Speaker 1: it Amber's idea? Or were you both hesidentt what walk
Speaker 1: us through that?
Speaker 4: One thing?
Speaker 3: Amber told me if I ever get certain opportunities like this,
Speaker 3: to not say no. So as soon as they called me,
Speaker 3: I remember, I actually remember the day they called me
Speaker 3: factored and they literally called me and was like, do
Speaker 3: you want to do another season? In my head, I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh no, I would love to, but my god born
Speaker 3: around this date. So I'm like, I don't know if
Speaker 3: I could go. And I told and Amber was like
Speaker 3: to say, yes, I just told him. Yet and as
Speaker 3: the days get closer, we're literally in the hospital where
Speaker 3: Nick you and they have us there for two there
Speaker 3: for like three days in the hospital, and could you
Speaker 3: not I packed my bags before we going to the hospital,
Speaker 3: just in case she was born before.
Speaker 1: Not y'all both having a packed bag, but for different reasons.
Speaker 3: Wow, reason I had my suitcase at home already ready
Speaker 3: just in case my daughter was born.
Speaker 4: And I just remember like them telling us.
Speaker 3: We have to say in the hospital, say in the hospital,
Speaker 3: And I was getting worried.
Speaker 1: Because on bed rest, like was she not? Sonny was okay?
Speaker 3: Amber was on ben rest. Sonny ended up being born
Speaker 3: on the twenty ninth. We ended up leaving on the first.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think there's what's thirty days, thirty.
Speaker 1: Days, something like the thirty Days Passive ten break book,
Speaker 1: June November.
Speaker 3: So it was in the hospital and once she was born,
Speaker 3: they told us we had to wait due to their
Speaker 3: own like white blood cells or something that they had
Speaker 3: to double chet. So I'm worried about that. I'm not
Speaker 3: caring about leaving for the show because my daughter is
Speaker 3: my number one priority.
Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah.
Speaker 4: From this point.
Speaker 3: On, I just remember, like I'm saying, we were good
Speaker 3: to go the night before I had to leave.
Speaker 1: Wow, So Sonny got out of the nick you the
Speaker 1: night before you were to fly. At any point did
Speaker 1: you question your like seeing her and just holding her
Speaker 1: but then also seeing the complications when she was first born.
Speaker 1: At any point did you second guess your decision or
Speaker 1: call up the producers and say, hey, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do this.
Speaker 4: I dolly.
Speaker 3: Way I was not going is if we were still hospital,
Speaker 3: if we were still in the hospital the next day,
Speaker 3: I'm not leaving.
Speaker 4: That's just number one.
Speaker 3: However, when we did leave and like we're leaving, Ander's like,
Speaker 3: are you ready? Like you gotta be?
Speaker 1: Yeah, period.
Speaker 3: So I at least got to, you know, be in
Speaker 3: my house with my family for one night, half the
Speaker 3: night or whatever before leaving the next morning. So that
Speaker 3: whole thing was like tolling, like just a big toll
Speaker 3: on my mental Yeah. Absolutely, I'm leaving, you know, going
Speaker 3: in again by myself. First season, my daughters is born.
Speaker 3: I have friends, but I'm not friends with a lot
Speaker 3: of people in the house.
Speaker 4: I know that already.
Speaker 3: So it's like I'm going into this game and I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's just like a lot of my mind.
Speaker 1: Did they let you call Amber? I know, usually you
Speaker 1: can only make so many calls or facetimes, but given
Speaker 1: the circumstances, were they more flexible in allowing you to
Speaker 1: contact Amber and the baby?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They allowed me to contact Hamber and Funny just
Speaker 3: because they had another appointment while I was gone. I
Speaker 3: wanted to make sure that's the first point.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they allowed me to stay in the of course,
Speaker 3: not nothing crazy, but they allowed me to stay in
Speaker 3: contact to make sure that they were Okay.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, three days is it?
Speaker 3: Ok?
Speaker 2: My first season a big brother. My daughter was six
Speaker 2: or seven months wow, and so and that was I
Speaker 2: can't even explain how I felt leaving her that young.
Speaker 2: So three days my mind is just like I can't
Speaker 2: even imagine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it didn't really hit me, like yeah,
Speaker 3: like I was there and I was able to hold
Speaker 3: my daughter in the hospital and everything, but it really
Speaker 3: hit me out like I was a father, that I was.
Speaker 4: A father time came home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because those three days, your main thing is
Speaker 3: like making sure that we have skinnerstain contact and all
Speaker 3: that stuff. And I'm just trying to do what I can.
Speaker 3: So my body's going crazy because I'm like, what if
Speaker 3: I don't have skin skin contact enough amount of time
Speaker 3: when I get back home?
Speaker 1: Who is you and where have you been? And where
Speaker 1: have you been?
Speaker 2: You've been talking to that belly the whole time she
Speaker 2: was pregnant that maybe know your boy, and.
Speaker 1: I mean really for you all's first child and for
Speaker 1: her believing in you so much, like, can I just say,
Speaker 1: whatever happens to Yale's relationship, this is the matchmaker in me.
Speaker 1: It'll go back in a second, guys, but here's the
Speaker 1: thing that right there, that level of support. I was
Speaker 1: watching the show yesterday and the guy was saying to
Speaker 1: his girlfriend, Oh, I'm going to try and humble you
Speaker 1: or something, I just want to smack him off my
Speaker 1: TV screen. And with the idea being that you should
Speaker 1: lift one another up to be the best versions and
Speaker 1: sometimes it's going to be hard, but a level of
Speaker 1: this where Amber said I want you to go pursue
Speaker 1: your dream when she had every right every right to
Speaker 1: say no, baby, I need you, like she would have
Speaker 1: been well within her right. And I'm not saying I
Speaker 1: know it wasn't easy, and I'm not even saying everyone
Speaker 1: should do it, but just the way you all ride
Speaker 1: for each other like that and support one another, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad you guys are public in a way that
Speaker 1: people can see this does indeed exist. You do not
Speaker 1: have to settle for less, do not be with anyone
Speaker 1: who wants to dim and shine, and together you can
Speaker 1: accomplish so much more. When you say, look, relationships aren't
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty. Sometimes it's sixty, sometimes it's forty, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's eighty, sometimes it's twenty, and it alternates. And in
Speaker 1: that moment, Amber said, I got this. You go do that.
Speaker 1: Now you couldn't clip in, but that's a different thing.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to that in a minute. But
Speaker 1: she said, you got that, And I just love that
Speaker 1: team dynamic for you guys so so so much. And
Speaker 1: baby Sonny Fox is really fortunate to have parents who
Speaker 1: really ride for one another, because she's gonna get to
Speaker 1: see what that looks like. Of course, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you went collected that check even though it
Speaker 2: wasn't the big check.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got an appearance feech you got an appearance
Speaker 1: speech and they are expensive, so I'm glad wining.
Speaker 2: Period. Okay, then let's get back to the clip because
Speaker 2: you didn't clip and I don't want to know what.
Speaker 3: Happened, Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: What happened, So honestly, I might just be completely honest.
Speaker 3: As soon as I got up there on this the
Speaker 3: human ladder or whatever I'm standing on Huie, I'm like
Speaker 3: on her test on her boops, and I feel bad,
Speaker 3: like I'm up there and I'm like feeling bad. Everyone's young,
Speaker 3: like are you clipped? And I'm like trying to get
Speaker 3: on her shoulders, but she's leaning back. I'm too heavy,
Speaker 3: so like I felt, I mean, I wasn't like I
Speaker 3: just feel like our weight is like I don't know,
Speaker 3: like the way off, like it's way off compared to
Speaker 3: actually I'm not going to get that. So anyways, I
Speaker 3: feel like our weight ratio was like just really awesome.
Speaker 3: When I'm standing on her chats, it was hard for
Speaker 3: me to like pull myself up to where she could
Speaker 3: kind of straighten up on her shoulder and where we're
Speaker 3: clipping willing, I'm like the caribing is like in the
Speaker 3: center of our like like close our stomach. So I'm
Speaker 3: trying to do what I can to reach it, and
Speaker 3: I just couldn't reach it. So at that point, I
Speaker 3: was like I got to drop. I see Mariah coming up,
Speaker 3: and the last thing I want to do is be
Speaker 3: up here and get on my shoulders. Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 3: holding myself up and then we go fall on someone
Speaker 3: get hurt and injured, and so I was just like, dang,
Speaker 3: I just got to fall, and I just got to
Speaker 3: drop and hopefully just pick up another task while I'm
Speaker 3: down here, and if everyone clips up, I'll climb up there,
Speaker 3: take my ball up, and handle my business.
Speaker 4: It didn't slow down too much.
Speaker 3: Of what we were doing because the other side was
Speaker 3: struggling completely. So it was like, hey, I didn't clip,
Speaker 3: but I still was able to at least get down,
Speaker 3: you know, in the water and like collect all the
Speaker 3: balls to make sure everybody had their balls for the
Speaker 3: people that were swimming over.
Speaker 4: But we could still make more money.
Speaker 2: When you dropped, did it click in that moment, like ah,
Speaker 2: here we go, Like I know these people are going
Speaker 2: to say my name if this doesn't go according to plan.
Speaker 3: When I dropped, no, because I was like, the other
Speaker 3: side is terrible, and from my point of view, I'm
Speaker 3: looking over and then seeing everybody unclipped, I'm like, this
Speaker 3: isn't too bad.
Speaker 4: Of course, I hear people.
Speaker 3: Saying how did you not clip? Blah blah blah, but
Speaker 3: that I was ignoring that. I was really just like
Speaker 3: in the water and I'm like, here, I'm gonna help
Speaker 3: you guys out make sure all the balls don't go
Speaker 3: with the waves, and I'll just find another task again,
Speaker 3: you know, So in that moment, I wasn't thinking like, day,
Speaker 3: I didn't clip, it's bad. I just feel like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I didn't clip, but you just gotta keep going. And
Speaker 3: I just try to keep going because again not done.
Speaker 3: It's how old until the time. So even though I stuck,
Speaker 3: I still was like, I'm gonna still figure something out
Speaker 3: to do something else, and I just sit here and
Speaker 3: dwell and be mad and be upset because I didn't
Speaker 3: do one thing.
Speaker 1: Who do you think they should have voted for? Like
Speaker 1: who should have gone in based on their performance or
Speaker 1: any other reason that you may have.
Speaker 3: I I love Karen, but I would say I would
Speaker 3: have to say vote for Caring because he took charge
Speaker 3: in the first one, he didn't get done, and he
Speaker 3: tried to take charge again on our second. You know,
Speaker 3: Dad didn't get it get it done again. So you, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're looking at them. They were looking at the weakest length.
Speaker 3: But you also have to look at the people that
Speaker 3: are trying to take charge and had Honcho and all
Speaker 3: this stuff. And if we're listening to what they're saying
Speaker 3: but stuff's not happening, why aren't they looked at, as
Speaker 3: you know, someone to be voted in because technically it
Speaker 3: would be their fault that we didn't really done.
Speaker 1: See now, Chauncey, and I haven't called you this at
Speaker 1: all today, which is disappointing at myself. Chancey P. Jordan. Now, Chancey,
Speaker 1: what you just described right now is very logical and
Speaker 1: rational and pragmatic in terms of strategy and why it's
Speaker 1: gonna be voted in. What the hell were you doing
Speaker 1: when you tried to call out Habrazzio talking about did
Speaker 1: I ever disappoint you? And then you just go down
Speaker 1: a lot of people who don't please walk us through, sir,
Speaker 1: exactly what where?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: It just got worse and worse walk us through? So
Speaker 1: that I was like free, be quiet.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, even in my head, I was like be quiet.
Speaker 3: But I was like I'm already in this. I might
Speaker 3: as well just.
Speaker 1: Keep going to yourself, okay, keep going okay, So but no,
Speaker 1: but like.
Speaker 3: In that moment, I I was very overwhelmed because I
Speaker 3: haven't really been in that in that like situation where
Speaker 3: in just some life in general, like I've never been
Speaker 3: like an interrogagent like that. So I felt like I
Speaker 3: was very overwhelmed, and I just kind of started blabbing
Speaker 3: stuff of course, But in that moment, it was like,
Speaker 3: I asked Hiassio, and I had a feeling that he
Speaker 3: was going to say that, But in that moment, in
Speaker 3: the moment, I really didn't think it was that bad
Speaker 3: because I was like, if you remember back to thirty eight,
Speaker 3: I literally said it because it was a burned vote.
Speaker 3: So I literally burned with him went that way, being
Speaker 3: the only brooking guy on my team in that moment.
Speaker 3: If I said someone else's name, then they would have
Speaker 3: came for me.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, but is this when did
Speaker 1: Phirossio get voted in? When you said his name that
Speaker 1: same time? Was already right, already okay? So then, sir,
Speaker 1: that is not a burn vote, the burn voat.
Speaker 4: I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me just let me just real quick, sir.
Speaker 1: A burn boat means that the person you were voting
Speaker 1: for you are one hundred percent sure will not go in,
Speaker 1: or at least ninety Well you can be ninety percent
Speaker 1: the numbers are add If the numbers aren't adding up,
Speaker 1: then you know, okay. Cool. So the fact that everybody
Speaker 1: else was voting for Rossio burn boat would have been
Speaker 1: voting for Davon or like doubling down.
Speaker 2: I didn't think that's that bad that burn vote.
Speaker 3: Sir, because I was I was the last person on
Speaker 3: my team, like to like to say Passio, the last
Speaker 3: person to say his name. But you know, going in,
Speaker 3: I thought we were going for if we go back
Speaker 3: to the thought way, want to vote Jordan. And then
Speaker 3: in that moment everything switched around and I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to stick with Jordan's and say that
Speaker 3: there just because I don't want.
Speaker 1: To say your name or TJ's name or so that
Speaker 1: would have been a burden vote. But you voting for
Speaker 1: the dude that everybody's voting reference, not a let me go.
Speaker 2: And lie ye you gave approval.
Speaker 1: And then and then had the audacity, even trying to
Speaker 1: save yourself to be like, oh, I didn't think it
Speaker 1: was that bad. You mean when you piled on him,
Speaker 1: you didn't think it was that bad. What John.
Speaker 3: Five times a season, me saying his name.
Speaker 2: But you know what, as as insane as it was,
Speaker 2: I think had you won and come back into the house,
Speaker 2: that would have been great information for you to have.
Speaker 1: Now you know it.
Speaker 2: Still has a grudge again, right, sure that's a problem
Speaker 2: with you. That would have been phenomenal information for you
Speaker 2: to have, So I mean, yes.
Speaker 1: And no, yet.
Speaker 3: I asked, I asked everybody in thirty eight. So I
Speaker 3: went from Hirasio then went to Raven. Raven said no,
Speaker 3: I never did it rise and I never did. Colleen said, though,
Speaker 3: I never did them dirty. And then of course Olivia
Speaker 3: is gonna stick with Hurrah the res and I I
Speaker 3: didn't even ask her. We both laughed about it real
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not gonna ask you. We were
Speaker 3: going ahead ahead and I was like, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 4: Quite ask you. So I was surprised.
Speaker 3: So when Michelle and Jay still surprised that they said
Speaker 3: I did them dirty, because I don't see any moment
Speaker 3: where I've done them dirty at all.
Speaker 2: That situation was weird to me. It gave very much
Speaker 2: you had an alliance with them and they didn't have
Speaker 2: one with you, but they wanted you to think that
Speaker 2: you had one within That's what I I mean.
Speaker 1: I feel like tracks for their games play in general
Speaker 1: from what we've seen in the.
Speaker 2: Past, I feel like, I mean, I do I think
Speaker 2: for show they got each other right.
Speaker 1: I feel like, but do you so you said you
Speaker 1: have anything against them? Uh? Did you have something against
Speaker 1: James or do you think James will have something against you? Now,
Speaker 1: since you called, where did that come from?
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: So in my head, Oh, actually, let me go track.
Speaker 3: So after the whole infariation, you go in the house,
Speaker 3: everybody who's like talking or whatever, of course, and I
Speaker 3: told he we shaped his face. I'm like, I'm not.
Speaker 4: Going to call you.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not going to because I told
Speaker 3: you from day one that I had your back. So
Speaker 3: I was like, even though we're going up against each other,
Speaker 3: I won't tell me to say you because they know
Speaker 3: I will beat you.
Speaker 4: I know I could eat you.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do that because I was like,
Speaker 3: we're friends at the end of the day, and I
Speaker 3: was like, I know you're a strong competitor. I don't
Speaker 3: knock that. I just have paid to my abilities, my
Speaker 3: game that I could pull this out and when.
Speaker 4: But ultimately, like when I got down into the arena,
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 3: I heard, I know Karen's to the Karen was in
Speaker 3: the military, So I'm not gonna call him out because
Speaker 3: I know he's good with stand up. I didn't hear
Speaker 3: too much about his puzzles, but I know that I
Speaker 3: know for the most part that he's not get a
Speaker 3: map alum. I was like, I would call Callum down,
Speaker 3: but knowing who's a boxer, he was sanna also know
Speaker 3: that he's the reason why he didn't win his final
Speaker 3: was not because of the puble. I mean, it was
Speaker 3: because of the puzzle. So I'm like, huh, I might
Speaker 3: call Calum down, even though he said my name too.
Speaker 3: And then I was like, at the same time, everybody
Speaker 3: seemed like they're scared of Games. I was like, for
Speaker 3: some reason, seems like they're scared of him because he's
Speaker 3: six five. I was like, I'm gonna call the games
Speaker 3: now because I feel like I could beat him. And
Speaker 3: if I come out from beating him, now what you know,
Speaker 3: who's like at this point, you can't call me the
Speaker 3: weakest link.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
Speaker 3: So when I called him down, we he was like,
Speaker 3: you know, it is what it is. He's like, you're committed.
Speaker 3: I'm a competitor.
Speaker 1: You had that boy and you did the light thing
Speaker 1: and you shoved your light in there, and he was like, man,
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, Chauncey all right, pushed him.
Speaker 2: Like you could have beat him. The whole time I'm
Speaker 2: yelling at the screen. I'm glad we were all mute.
Speaker 2: I'm yelling at the screen. I'm like connect for like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it was the strategy clicked for you.
Speaker 2: It was too late, but when it clicked, we saw that.
Speaker 2: You could see that, like, your strategy was phenomenal after that.
Speaker 2: And I was like, if you would have got that,
Speaker 2: even in a round two, you're gonna took him out
Speaker 2: one point one point.
Speaker 3: Exactly, And I knew, Like, and the crazy thing is,
Speaker 3: I was like, if I got one point and just
Speaker 3: tide it, if we went to another round, I was
Speaker 3: gonna win. I knew that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you knew it took him out.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember Kylan looked at Kyland colon con it before
Speaker 3: and he told you no. I was like, I was like,
Speaker 3: he said nothing, He was like no, And I was like, dang,
Speaker 3: you know knew that I lost? Yeah, right, ky.
Speaker 1: Numbers coming up? What were before we let you go?
Speaker 1: What was it?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's bittersweet leaving the game so early, but
Speaker 1: what were the emotion to being a new parent and
Speaker 1: knowing that you're out of the Challenge house but you're
Speaker 1: about to go home to your daughter, you know, to
Speaker 1: your first born. What was that feeling, Like.
Speaker 3: I, as soon as I was eliminated in my mind
Speaker 3: obviously went to my family. So I was just happy
Speaker 3: to see excited.
Speaker 4: To get home and see my family.
Speaker 3: But it was like I don't really like, yeah, it's bittersweet,
Speaker 3: like dang, I lost, but I understand at the same
Speaker 3: time that you're gonna have to take else and one
Speaker 3: day my win might be there because I'm taking all
Speaker 3: these lessons building up my game. So I understand that
Speaker 3: it's a process.
Speaker 4: It still very new to it.
Speaker 3: Am. We're still teaching me. She's stilling herself. Yeah, So
Speaker 3: there's like there's so many different ways I could have
Speaker 3: thought about, like this leaving, but I didn't really think
Speaker 3: like too much on the laws. Like I was like,
Speaker 3: it is what it is. I went out there, I competed,
Speaker 3: I called somebody that is a freaking animal down and
Speaker 3: it just didn't go my way. So the things I
Speaker 3: was done, I was like, I'm going to go home
Speaker 3: to my family and it's hopefully message be prepared for
Speaker 3: the future.
Speaker 1: When you walked away and you knew where you were
Speaker 1: going to go, see beautiful Amber and baby Sonny in
Speaker 1: the back of your mind, who were you low key
Speaker 1: rooting for especially since so many in the house turned
Speaker 1: on you, Like at that point, what guy and what
Speaker 1: girl are you now? Without giving any spoilers off anything
Speaker 1: you may know, but just are you now going? Okay?
Speaker 1: I ride with this person. I hope they make it
Speaker 1: to the end.
Speaker 3: There's a few people I was riding with, but I
Speaker 3: would say the number one person I was like, I
Speaker 3: want to win for sure is At I was like,
Speaker 3: and he had my dad always we have like a
Speaker 3: good friendship at house. I was like, I want to
Speaker 3: edit it. So I wanted to win this. As far
Speaker 3: as women, I there wasn't really like one where I
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 4: I want them to win.
Speaker 3: But I was also I was thinking that, I mean,
Speaker 3: I think that Zara.
Speaker 1: Well not after Raven gave her whole life in her
Speaker 1: social game to stay here behind.
Speaker 2: That up because Raven blew up his spot.
Speaker 3: She but like Raven at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: like Raven, she did have my bag. And yeah, but
Speaker 3: I was with the girls. I was thinking, like, I
Speaker 3: I understand that there's one winner. That's it. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: I try to like put everybody drains and weaknesses, and
Speaker 3: those are the few that I.
Speaker 1: Think that would win the loyalty ain't loyal, that is all?
Speaker 1: You know what, Raven that Raven, don't you ever go
Speaker 1: out on a limb for this man again? You mean,
Speaker 1: don't you.
Speaker 3: Yet, El do that?
Speaker 4: Don't do that?
Speaker 2: Because she blew up spot I'm standing in the game together.
Speaker 4: So that's just really what it is like at.
Speaker 5: The Just don't tell her nothing now, But she was
Speaker 5: really trying to the best of your She did try,
Speaker 5: and then she got with her man and was cuddling
Speaker 5: and Pillow talking and blew up.
Speaker 1: It's not I don't know. I think she was trying
Speaker 1: to help make her better. But because then they got
Speaker 1: burn votes because they thought it did help. Because they
Speaker 1: got burn votes because then they were like, well, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be the one voted in, so like
Speaker 1: it made it a little bit more competitive. I think
Speaker 1: she's trying to help.
Speaker 2: No, a friend was Pillow talking as.
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, you know, to keep me in the game.
Speaker 3: He made Yeah, you know, I appreciate her, but I
Speaker 3: just again, you know, the winner if you.
Speaker 1: Have to see that he's making right now, this is
Speaker 1: proof Okay, his relationship. You don't want to talk about
