WEBVTT - The Era Invitational: Part 2 w/ Nurys Mateo 0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.440 What's up everyone. I'm Devin Simone. 0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:10.039 And I am Davion Rogers and this is MTV's official 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.000 challenge podcast. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.920 Oh My Coming to you Live. 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:23.000 This episode was hot. It was also sad and yeah 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.120 it had oh but a lot of competition and elimination, 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.720 which was like interesting of eliminations. 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.440 We have to do this more often. And I can 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:37.600 say that as somebody does not anticipate going back, I 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:42.400 wouldn't walk off to continue to see Nights of Eliminations 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.280 because baby, that was an episode. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.599 Yeah that was a goodness, so good and I love 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.880 the way that they threw it back to the different 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.040 iconic eliminations right how they were like, okay, each of 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.000 these we're talking haul brawl, we're talking balls at Like, 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.120 I that was cool. That was ball done, beautifully done, 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.280 cool to see. What wasn't cool to see was like 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.319 the teams have to eat each other. There are so 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.679 many iconic players. I understand why it has to happen. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:16.000 Forty people is a lot, but man, like so many 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.720 good people. We had what Era three went with balls 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.640 in so we had Naya eliminate Amanda, Tony eliminate Leroy 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.560 min I know Erae. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.440 Amanda and Leroy in one episode that was very early. 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:32.280 That was hard. 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.839 You do know how, Oh my goodness, that was hard. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.080 Just when Amanda was sort of playing nice, I mean, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.920 not with Tory, but can we talk. We did take 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.320 our advice. I'm gonna take two percent credit of that 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:51.400 because we told her in Vietnam. What did we say, go. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.080 Make things right with Kara Golden and you know what, 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.720 and when you're coming here, it's okay to show them you. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.760 It's okay to be vulnerable, it's okay to come in 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.080 here and be the Amanda then you know, well. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.080 You you're getting to know her. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.720 But the Manna that I know and the one that 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.000 you thought in her homecoming episode right. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.680 That aftermath, she's entertaining. She like, she's entertaining, she's fun. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.400 And really we were like, look, wasn't it you who 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.799 said the enemy of your enemy is your friend? Yeah? Right, 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.720 I told her. I said, look, y'all both got an 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:22.639 issue with Tory. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.080 Look, you gotta do what you gotta do to make 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.359 it happen, okay, And I understood And that moment that 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.240 was the only way that I could get through to Amanda. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.760 I got to speak her language, so you to. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.960 Okay, we're gonna start there. Okay, let's go ahead. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.079 Use that and you go ahead and you make this 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.560 thing right with Kara because I really feel like as 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.160 a duo they could have been Powerhouse if they would 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.000 have gotten on the same page. And they did and 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.000 we didn't get to see how it played out. Her 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.120 and Paulie was like, it was, oh, it would have 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:49.760 been so good. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:50.720 It's just you know, it. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.200 Just yeah, it was a lot. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:53.919 It was a lot. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.840 And then we had Paul wrestle right eir one, Derek eliminating, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:02.600 Mark a Nissa eliminating. It's tough because there's just so 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.840 many greats on this season that, I mean, just great 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.800 all around greats, like not sometimes you have people who 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.840 are great competitors, not great in confessionals, right, or great 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.280 in confessionals, not great in politicking. These are people who 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.120 were great at it all, which is why they made 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.400 season forty. So to see them get eliminated so soon 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.640 just hurts. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.240 It hurts that Derek and Mark was something serious right 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:30.040 right there? Then flips flipping, Yes, I thought mark neck 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.160 was broken at one point. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.960 I mean, don't mess with the wrestler, right, that's Sarasota 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.680 wrestling or whatever he's been doing. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:37.640 My uses it was. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.800 It was absolutely insane, and I have to take a 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:45.040 moment and give my girl Katie the flowers because I 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.720 thought Anissa was about to just run right through with 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.240 this snatch this pole, like taking candy from a baby. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.760 This is what I thought. But my girl came in 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.840 and Katie made her work. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:03.800 She did the legodd almost split. She did's neck like. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:04.160 I got to. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:05.840 I got to give it to her. I got to 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.920 give it to her. My girl didn't work, and I 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.280 was so so proud of her. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.800 These all braw girl. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.599 Oh oh was I don't even know I was. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.520 I'm not over it. I'm not over it. It's a 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:24.520 sort of subject. I'm not over it. Paullie. The way 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:31.440 that THEO did break dance moves on Pollie's face at 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:32.880 the end of that, at the end of the second 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.799 well he dan't, I mean he I just I couldn't. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.000 I almost couldn't watch. I had to like turn away 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.360 from the gir Wait, you cried over THEO and Pollie. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.120 I didn't, you know, Paulie. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.000 Is like my brother, and so watching him get trample 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.080 like that, and then also knowing how bad Pollie wants 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:48.520 this thing. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.200 Yeah, you know what I'm saying, and how much. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.480 He wants to fight for this thing and how much 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.520 he want to get it. But at the same time, Poullie, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.440 you gotta stop bucking. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:55.760 Up to people. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.760 Yeah, man, the way you was bucking up to THEO 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.880 and think that he not gonna call you out like that, 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.400 And I hate to see him go out like that. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.520 And what really hurt me was when he was having 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.960 that moment and the OTF when it was over and 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.080 he was like, it hurts and I ain't even watched 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.680 it yet, so my body and watched this episode. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.920 That my goodness, like my heart breaks for him. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.800 But Pouty, if you listen to this, you hold your 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.480 head high because you stayed in it. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.640 Yeah, stay in it, yep. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.400 So PAULI like, I'm proud of you, man, I'm very, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:29.159 very proud of you. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.719 But I hope you and THEO settled it because I 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.840 think you guys are a force stronger together. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.880 Than whatever yours. Is a long time to hold a grudge, man, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.400 It's like long, just let it go. Just it's done, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.720 leave it out there on the sand. The same way 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.000 Olivia and the recent now that's where I want to 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.360 tear up. And that was hard because honestly, I didn't 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.400 want to see either of them go home because I 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.679 think they're just excellent. They're they're entertaining, their fierce women 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.840 and competitors, like to me their anchors on Era four, 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.920 So to have any one of them gone, especially so early, 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.040 just was h man. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.880 I feel like as the season progressed, I mean, of course, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.520 next episode, I feel like the void is going to 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.240 be there, especially for Harassio. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.719 But even if it was Olivia, we would still have 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:18.719 a there. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:18.960 Know what. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.240 I'm both they are both exceptional women and have really 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.880 made names for themselves in the last few seasons of 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.719 being there, Like both of them have shown that they 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.240 are fighters and and they're entertaining to watch. I do 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.640 hate this is a good job on casting, because you've 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.320 created a season where were you kind of like you're 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.120 struggling people. Yeah, you want all of them to just 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.520 kid now. You know eventually they have to go home, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.719 but ye, you just want to see so much more 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.840 of them playing out, and that's very much the case here, 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.120 and I love to see Olivia and Nourice sort of 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.400 leave it out on the sands. Right like that. That 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.760 was just really cool to see. And then you have 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.920 take shelter for Air two. And this was kind of 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.000 the equalizer of the four eliminations, right, It's the one 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.640 that could kind of go either way. Who did you 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:07.720 take it? 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.880 I thought it was gonna be Car and Brandon, That's 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.760 what I thought. And she was gonna be Kara and Brandon. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:18.280 Reason being, I know when Car gets into eliminations, especially 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.760 if it's physical, specifically, if it's physical, she gonna lock in, 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.400 like she's going to lock in, not Kelly An. Ain't 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.800 no you push over either. You know, she's gonna go 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.640 into the Senate. She's gonna do work too. But I 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.120 really thought that Kara had this one branded. The way 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.960 he was talking to his confessionals. I thought, strategically, you know, 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.440 he was over there doing his thing, like really working 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.040 it out, and you know, making sure that Ryan wasn't. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:41.520 Gonna come through. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.280 But Ryan, no, don't don't count me out. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.160 I felt like that confession was a sign I felt 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.960 Brandon's confessional. I was like, Nah, this feels a little suspect. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.160 I feel like Brandon's going home. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.520 I feel like if I feel like there's some justification 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:54.840 and not. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.120 That I wanted Brandon to go home. I did. I 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:58.400 was like, He's like, and then I'm gonna throw it 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.240 to the right, and then I put a log in there' 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.160 make an ex I'm like, ah, nah, you going home? 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.760 In it? Yeah, he's talking a little too much. I 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.480 feel like he ain't gonna make it. Oh. So that 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.520 was tough to see. But people seem to underestimate Ryan. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:18.000 So I'm happy that Ryan got to show what he's 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.360 capable of. But I love me some beat, so I 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.560 hated to see Brandon. Although I will say this, I 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.160 don't know if you peeped it. So towards the end 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.040 when Ryan was close to opening up the door right 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.000 like it was kind of jiggling, but he couldn't like 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.520 fit in it. So that means so I would think 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.160 if that were you, or if that were me and 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.079 the you know, competing against him on the other one, 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.559 you naturally start moving a little faster, right because you're like, 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.120 all right, like this is this person my competitor is 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.040 very close. If you go back and rewatch that scene, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.240 Ray Brand's still standing there like he is waiting at 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.760 the mall food court for them to call his number 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.120 to step up and get his chicken nuggets. There doesn't 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.120 seem to be a sense of urgency at all in 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.280 that moment, and I don't know what's going through his mind. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.840 I might have to text him to be like hey, brou. 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.800 But he just and then he was so mad when 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.079 he lost. It was so like delicate pinkies in the. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.720 Air, Like I'm like, sir, what are you doing? And 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.000 then he had the audacity to throw his hat. I'm like, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.400 if you had taken a fraction of that energy towards 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.040 like towards you know, we saw Ryan trying to use 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.760 his teeth on that rope, I'm like, well, I hope 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.840 he didn't ship it to Meanwhile. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.520 Brandon was like, right, like all of the things that 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.959 Brandon put in front of the wall, you know, to 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.040 keep him from getting to the like Ryan was launching. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:40.079 Yeah, Ryan had it. 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.800 Oh my goodness. It was it was crazy. Some something 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.800 some clicked. The TJ put something click inside of Ryan 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.200 and you know, you better watch out. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.200 He wanted to get back in that pull naked like 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.720 he did in the previous episode. He was like, I'm 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.120 ready to party. That's what he was going for. And 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.400 then Kelly Ann I agree with you, because Kelly Ann 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.559 is fierce and in so many ways and also propsically 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.360 and talking about I'm going she went on it right 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.880 before her wedding, which is wild, and maybe it was 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.440 meant to be that she didn't go further, so at 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.600 least she didn't hurt herself, because I just can't imagine 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.880 anything works than coming back with the challenge battle Wounds 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.160 and then getting married right after that. So props to 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.840 her though for going. It was tough to watch but 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.720 so entertaining all at the same freaking time. Yeah, so good. Okay, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.320 Now you know, we're going to do our rankings right, gold, Silver, 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.720 Bronze participation, and then we're going to do gold Star 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.679 and Timeout. So I'm not going to comment on TJ's 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.640 wardrobe this time because it was a little bit disappointing. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.439 So four, but I love you. 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:44.800 Teach it. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.760 Who day gets your gold in I have golds across 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.959 the board. I have ls across the board, okay. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.520 And and this is strictly none about the you know, 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.800 twenty four hours earlier and all of the drama that 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.479 was and this is strictly about the night of eliminations 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.480 because I feel like every single Era went in and 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.040 did their work right, every single last one of them 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.880 went in and did their work, and I was extremely, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.360 extremely proud of them, and just you know, the other 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.840 eras well, the rest of the members of their era 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:18.800 who was up there watching. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.439 You know, everybody had their person that was rooting for, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:21.120 they were helping. 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.920 It was a lot of team stuff going on, and 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.920 I was just like this right here, I can't break 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:27.200 it up. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.160 I have to give golds across the board to every 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.400 single ERA. This episode ain't gonna last. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.559 This episode golds across the board. Yeah, how about you? 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.040 How did you break it up? Because I just know 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:39.559 that I know that, I know. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.959 I agree, it's really tough to break it up. I 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.840 will say that in terms of just strategy, I'm gonna 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.760 go ahead and give ERA won the gold. Okay, this time, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.559 I think it was well played. I think it was 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.599 well handled. I think Rachel was smart to do it 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.200 the way that she did. I think the outcome was 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.560 best case scenario. Not saying like again, I hate c 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.040 kt go because she's freaking entertaining, but like I think overall, 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.760 when I look at how their team is still at 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.959 the end of it, I'm like, all right, they didn't 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.000 do too much damage to their own team, right, because 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.800 it's tough when you've got to cannibalize your own team. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:24.040 So like, all right, fair, then I'd have to give 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:32.880 the silver to Era four because that was tough because 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.280 they did essentially cannibalize their own team. But I'd say 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.560 that's one of the teams where really there is no win, 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.800 like particularly with the women, right, like there is no 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.240 win in who you get, who you elimit, like they 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.959 are all exceptional and it was Casey. Yeah, that's what 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.280 I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. There really isn't there 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.560 There isn't There was nothing they could have really done differently. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.640 They're because they're all exceptionally talented with like they to me, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.200 i'd say consistently, yeah across the board, there isn't a 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.840 disparity there, So I'd give them the silver. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:06.559 Yeah. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.199 Now this is when we get into the we go. Okay, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.040 I'm gonna say that I'm going to give the bronze 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:20.360 to Era three because while I understand why Tory would 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.160 want to get rid of AMANDAM, they don't know how 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.720 this game may mix up down the line, and so 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.040 I don't necessarily know if that was the smartest even 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.040 though Amanda does have it out for Tory, like I 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.480 get it. But Corey, on the other hand, that just 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.920 didn't seem smart, like usually the same way we saw 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.080 with Era one, right, where it's kind of like, look, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.839 the dudes usually want to get rid of what they 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.480 deem to be the weaker females, right, and the women 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.000 want to get rid of the weaker males in case 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.400 there's ever a guygirl pairing whatever, like get it. I 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.559 would not have so quickly tried to get rid of Amanda. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:53.360 I just wouldn't. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.440 You didn't even give her a chance to see, Like, 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.200 you didn't get a chance to see if she was 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:58.280 really Ryan, would you like that? 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.560 Or Well, when I'm looking at that list, I don't 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.080 know that Amanda's where I would have gone. I just don't, 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.000 And I don't necessarily think it was the smartest move. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.240 And I think they were letting emotions get ahead of 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.040 real strategy, because yes, you're going against your own team 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.880 right now, but you teach is diabolical. We've been over this. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.400 You don't know how that's going to switch up. So 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.000 I think in the beginning you kind of want to 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.520 keep your team strong in case or for when you 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.000 start going against these other teams. And then the participation 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:30.400 for similar reasons goes to Ara. Two. I get that 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:36.960 they don't like Kara. I get it, but Kara is Kara. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.160 Although to be fair, when I look at that list, 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.480 it is tough of who they also have very jacked women, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.400 so there's really there. It was kind of out of 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.400 their hands a little bit. But I don't love the 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.960 way they targeted Kara in that particular instance. I really don't. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.240 It did seem they're not beating the allegations of always 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.880 like I don't love when Kara does the woe is 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.200 Me thing, but in this scenario, they're not beating the 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.240 allegations of consistently going after Kara, going after her and 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.760 she called it out. Oh yeah, it makes you. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.240 Think, like putting her in there is one thing. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.440 Putting her in there is almost like saying, hi, we 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.840 can still do it righting her in there. But then 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.600 it also makes you think who was the target, because 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.520 did you know, Shaye? I love Kelly An, I promise 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.440 I do, and I think she's a powerhouse. But did 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.760 you did you did you think that if it was 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.680 a real physical that Kellyn was gonna take her out. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.760 That actually is a really good you see what I'm saying. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.200 So are they just picking I'm not gonna say picking 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.120 on her, but picking at her just to show her like, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.240 we can still put you in because it was. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.480 Against Kelly Yann. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:40.840 That's actually a really good point. That's a real you're right. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.400 And I conversations around that behind the scenes, because I 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.760 feel like, if anything, I could see conversation being like, hey, yes, 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.160 we're picking you. No, it's not ideal, but we want 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.880 to get Kelly in out. Not saying that they did, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.440 but you know whatever, they were like yeah, yeah, or 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.200 did they think there's too many cooks in the kitchen? 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.400 The same way, Rachel said that all of Era one 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.120 was rooting for Kara because and they started laughing when 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.160 Kara won because they want car to come back in 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.040 because they know Er two might implode. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:06.920 I don't know. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.200 It was all a lot of mess. Now let's get 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.240 into our gold Star of the week and our time 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.960 out of the week. I think mine might surprise you, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.000 but I want to know yours first, all right, So 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.840 my gold star, of course I broke it up. You 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.800 know what this is not Hunger Games. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:27.080 Okay, I break it up because all of these people, 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.480 you know, I'm I'm a sucker for the Little Engine 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.280 that Could, the Chicken Littles, if you will, I'm a 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.160 sucker for them. And I'm gonna give my pieces of 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:42.120 my gold star to Amanda, Pauli, Thereice, and Katie. I'm 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.720 gonna split it up and give it to them because 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:47.560 I just felt like they went in there with situations 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.160 where it's like, I don't think anybody expected them to 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:52.480 win and come back, you know what I mean. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.240 And so they went in there and they gave it. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.560 They all like literally was like the odds. 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.200 Are completely stacked up against me and I might get 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.280 beat up, but you're not gonna walk out clean. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.840 And that is what I like to see. You might 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.920 beat me up, but you won't have a black eye too, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.000 right Like that, Right, That's what I like to see. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.879 And so I'm going to go ahead and divide my 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:19.119 goal star among them. My time out, I had to 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.280 give my time out to Corey. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.680 And here's where I need to maybe have. 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.080 A conversation, you know, maybe he can come on the 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.280 podcast and we can figure out what the motive was, 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.320 because I don't like the conversation that happened. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:34.960 Oh, we're gonna do this for Nelson. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.119 Yeah, I didn't like that because that made me feel 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.200 like if we had that, if you guys had that conversation, 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.960 and you you know how close Amanda is to Nelson, 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.200 and I know how close you are to Nelson as well, 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.120 but I feel like if that was a conversation where 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.000 you were maybe pulling at her heartstrings to pull her 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.280 in as a number for you, and then when you 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.200 realize that there were a lot of people inside the 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.280 house that really wasn't messing with Amanda like that, then 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.520 you threw her to the wolves. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.720 Why have that conversation? 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.600 Where the right and the way she was just sitting 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.760 there that do you know when they were having a conversation, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.040 she was like, we sat here and we talked and 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:07.840 we agreed that we were gonna work together and we're 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:08.760 gonna do this for Nelson. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.520 He tried to make it seem. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.840 Like he didn't know what she was talking about, if 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.639 she was having a conversation with the wall. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:18.800 And then he's like, that's all we have, though all 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.160 we have is Nielson, Like we don't have anything else, 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:22.400 And I'm. 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.680 Like, what was then? 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.360 Yeah, I was disappointed for that too. 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.400 Right now you have time out because I don't understand. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.080 Yeah, I was definitely disappointed in Corey for that too. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:38.399 I will say my nominees for gold Star, there are 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.280 a couple of nominees, but I'm giving nominees day and 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.800 then actually awarding. Here we go the gold medal. So 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.680 my nominees are marking that flip. I thought that was 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:52.639 very impressive, very Derek winning. Also very impressive. Katie putting 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.240 up one hell of a fight, Yes, also very impressive. 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:00.560
