SPEAKER_02 0:00

Welcome to ReCappaholics. I'm Christine. And I'm Michelle. And we're two lifelong friends and moms who like to drink wine and gab about reality shows. So thank you for joining us and stick around.

SPEAKER_00 0:13

Recap a holics. Pour it up, zip it down. Laugh it off, twist the crown. Clink goes to class. Here comes the sass. Great Cappaholics. Spilling it now.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

I don't understand. It's March.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

I added green poop.

SPEAKER_03 0:35

It's so fast stuff. I wanted Michelle to have green poop.

SPEAKER_02 0:39

I do anyway. My sister said they got snow. What? Yeah. And Nebraska's having a it's like the biggest fire in American history or something right now.

SPEAKER_03 0:51

I have to say I missed that.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

You do? I'm glad someone else took the took over the mantle. Oh, is it called? Yeah, someone picks up the you missed the fire? I didn't hear about it. Yeah. You haven't heard about it because no one lives in Nebraska. Oh. It's just empty emptiness.

SPEAKER_03 1:06

And then they just let it burn. They're like, eh? Wow.

SPEAKER_02 1:08

This is burning, raging out of control. But I don't know. Maybe somebody lives in Nebraska. There'll probably be people there. Farmers, I'm assuming. I wonder if it burns crop. Yeah, probably. Excuse me, I'm not good about my geography. Is Nebraska close to Idaho? No. Okay, it's totally okay. So they're not getting the residual dust and smoke or let me read you this while we're eating. Okay. Fort Meyer, Florida. Florida man found sunburned and disoriented on Sanibel Caway, claiming he had been kidnapped by dolphins and forced to build an underwater city. Lee County Sheriff's Department responded responded to this causeway early Monday after a motorist reported a man standing on the shoulder soaking wet and drawing blueprints in the sand. According to the police report, Ricky James Hollowell, 33, was found barefoot, severely sunburned, and wearing only his swim trunks. He told the deputy he had been taken against his will by a pod of dolphins three days ago and forced to work in what he called an underwater construction project. According to Hollowell and the police report, Hollowell claimed that dolphins approached him while he was swimming off the offmier beach and escorted him to a site approximately 40 feet below surface where they needed him to build structures. He told officers that the dolphins communicated through a series of clicks that he eventually learned to interpret it. Three days now.

SPEAKER_03 2:44

I just all bullshit on the sunburn. Like, how do you get a sunburn if you're underwater? That's true. Look, that's what you're bumping on.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

Really? Okay, that's a good point. Okay. Okay. Click some clicks. When asked how he breathed underwater for three days, he said, Gerald handled that, and I didn't ask questions. You don't question Gerald. Gerald is a supervisor on the Dolphin project. Wow. Uh-huh. He had drawn an elaborate blueprint in the sand, and the deputies described as detailed enough to be concerning. And that's what they consider concerning? They're like, this is concerning. He told officers he was released because the dolphins were satisfied with his work, but that Gerald said they'd be back for phase two. Wow. I know. It's Florida, so it makes sense when you think about it. Florida. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 3:38

I listened to that Murder Death podcast. And which one? It's called Sword and Scale. It's really dark. Are they getting darker? Maybe. Are your tastes getting darker? No, it's been the same podcast for seven or eight years. It's been around a while. There's other ones too, but maybe 90% of them are in Florida. The stories. The other 10% are in Ohio. It's just the two states.

SPEAKER_02 4:03

Ohio, yeah. I think Ohio is the Florida of the Midwest. So that makes sense. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:08

And it's all about they're all like serial killer stuff? What? Like when you were telling me the story, it reminded me of this story about this woman in Florida who said she was kidnapped and held, and she described this place, this house that she was held and tortured. And then they found her on the causeway. Like she was naked, running, and somebody pulled over and found her, and she had escaped. She's telling this whole story. And then as they investigate, they come to find out it was all bullshit. She made it all up.

SPEAKER_02 4:35

She like ran away with a guy and came up with an elaborate scheme that she was kidnapped and torture. Yeah. Rather than just filming branded herself. Get out of here. That's part of this story. Why wouldn't she just come forward? Be like, okay, I ran out for the guy. Why is that the next step in your plan? Why don't you just okay? I did that. Why do you go straight to kidnap, torture, branded? That's wild. Because Florida, man. That's what happens. That's wild.

SPEAKER_03 5:02

Michelle, have we finally made it to the final episode of Traitors? I don't know. You tell me, do we? Yeah. Episode 11. Stop it. It's called Leap of Faith.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

Is that what it's called? Yeah. Do you appreciate them naming these?

SPEAKER_03 5:19

I do appreciate it because I know what's coming our way. Former Once a Wife is going to be airing soon.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

I know. This is our last. I'm not going to say real reality show episode. Before we, before our torture and branding begins.

SPEAKER_03 5:33

Right. Self-imposed. Why do we do it? Let me say hello, Michelle. Hello, Christine.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

Welcome to another week of Recap Aholics. Yay! And we are recapping Traders Season 4, Episode 11. 11. I should move down to my script. I have a lot. You know what? Because I we I honestly forgot we did 10. Can I just say? Wait. This has been a great season. It's been great. I very much enjoy this series. I don't like admitting it, but it has, right? It's been a pretty good season. And can I just say more's been a constant disappointment up until the very end? She is she's not only embarrassed herself, she embarrassed all womankind. I have a lot to say about her this episode.

SPEAKER_03 6:20

Oh my god. Like the next two, like this, and then reunion.

SPEAKER_02 6:24

We're gonna talk about the reunion. The reunion show. I'm just so disgusted. And look, there are a lot of people to choose from to be disgusted with this whole series. Tara had an amazing showing there. She disgusted me beyond belief.

SPEAKER_03 6:38

And then Mara just swoops on in and wins. Yeah, Tara followed her gut the whole time and discovered that she that her gut was empty. And then we discovered her heart was empty too. I know. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 6:52

That was for you know what, maybe because this is just a game and they think they're excused from any moral code. I told you about speaking of movies, Sinners. Michael G. Michael B. Jordan. One in the Oscar for Sinners.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:07

And I didn't see it.

SPEAKER_03 7:09

I didn't see it either.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

Who watches the Oscars? I watched some of the red carpet. But I oh I didn't. I always like the I do like the outfits, but I'm not into the three-hour-long cinematographer award stuff. I'm not into that. But I say this because I'm terrified of watching Sinners. So I only watched the first 45 minutes, and then when it got scary, I turned it off. So I have no idea how it ended or whatever. Wow. I'll never know. And I'm fine with that. I just this is just where I am. But I don't know if you remember me telling you a long time ago about Michael B. Jordan's kink. Do you remember me telling you that? This is starting to ring a bell. Apparently, he has contracts. Like they do have the standard NDAs or whatever. So when whoever they're dating can't go back and tell their business. But he has it written into his contract that he can spit in the mouths of the women, and they have to be into that because that's what he's into. And he loves spitting in their mouth so much that he wrote it into a contract. So I say this because I never watched all of centers. I gave up. But a friend of mine I had lunch with the other day, and she was like, Michelle, I remember what you told me because I watched Sinners. And then there's a scene where he has one of the girls spit into my mouth. Yes. And she was like, there was no reason for it. And you just know he was on set. Just hey, director, I'm just spitballing here, but I have an idea. How about she spits into my mouth? I was like, no way. But that was it. I just wanted to share that with you. Wow. I know. I'm listening to a new erotic audio.

unknown 8:45

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 8:46

Is it 20 hours? How long is this one? The other one was wild. It's called Rush. Oh. And this guy makes contracts for his girls. Oh. Yeah. And are they all in the sexual realm? Wow. Yeah. Like it's that he has total dominance. If you're gonna be in a relationship, you just have to be agreeable to whatever he says. You can't say no.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

Wow. It's like the shades of gray times 10. Yeah. In the book, are the women like maybe I shouldn't sign this contract?

SPEAKER_03 9:16

Or are they all let's do it? There's a moment of hesitation, y'all. They pretend like they are thinking about it.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

They pretend. And then they sign it. Is it just in the bedroom, or is it like he tells them what to wear, he tells them where to go? All of it. Yeah, all of it. So he has complete control over the he made her his secretary. Wow. So then he can bang her at work. Look, in this economy, having a secure job is everything. A lot of people would sign that contract right now, myself included. I'm like, but do you have dental?

SPEAKER_03 9:55

Okay, maybe we can do it. What other exciting things happen at the Oscars?

SPEAKER_02 10:00

I didn't watch it. I know everyone was dunking on Timothy Chalamet. Is that his name? Because he said ballet sucks and it's boring and it's a dying art form. And then all of the ballet world, which who even knew there was a ballet world, they all came out in in in defense of their art, and they're like, you have no right to say that just because you don't get it. But I think it's something where his parents were ballet dancers or they were involved. So he did have her perspective. He was right, just perspective, but like all of Hollywood was just dunking on. And I'm like, there's a war going on, and this is what you choose to draw the line in the sand about. Whatever.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

I don't think it was the Oscars, but I saw that Lisa Renna wore a dress made of 11 pounds of hair. Wow. On purpose? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Is she from Florida? Yeah, no. It was some award show. Yeah. Wow. So you know what? She's all about fashion and making a statement. And now DRSA is spectacle. Yeah. So all eyes are on her. So it tracks. How did it look?

SPEAKER_03 11:07

Was it cute? You know what? It was. I think I might not have realized it was hair if I didn't read the article before I saw the outfit.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

And honestly, we they wear for coats. Right. What's wrong for hair? I guess it's just it's a slippery slope, right? Next she's gonna be wearing teeth and eyes, skin, human skin. Chipotle solution on the skin. Okay, I'm sorry. I was huge typed. What were we even talking about? There was a big recap. It's like a full season recap. And they I don't know if it was necessary, but a lot happened. Yeah. If you forget it was like 18 players to begin with. Some of those, I was like, who are some of these people? I know the Caroline person. I actually looked it up. I'm like, there was another blonde. What happened to her? And Ian. Oh yeah, I didn't, I completely forgot about that. I completely forgot who he was. I had to look at my chart. And then when I saw the unsexy rob, then I'm like, that's how we started calling sexy rob sexy rob. Totally forgot about unsexy rob. Yeah, it was a lot of people that I hadn't remembered. Tiffany. And that was at the time, they're really big and shocking when people get killed or sent home. And then somewhere along the season, you forget about it. Totally forgot about that. Immediately. Even I didn't forget about Ron because I actually felt bad for him. I felt bad for Ron, yeah. I did too. So the whole season recap, they reminded us of some highlights. There's Mama Kelsey was a secret trader. The other three traders had been selected: Rob, Lisa fucking Renna, and sexy. Oh, Rob. I didn't say Candace. I said Rob twice. And most importantly, of all the season were Alan Cummings outfits. Those are the real stars. I agree. And it was really nice looking at that. The Black Dinner, or as I call it, my family Thanksgiving. Rob betrayal portrayed Lisa and Candace. Rob, then he hires Eric as a traitor intern or something like that. They get rid of Natalie. He knew it.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

He was like, who can I make sure I have full control over?

SPEAKER_02 13:08

Yes. And then when we, and it was, I guess Eric was like, Me, me, choose me. And then Rob debates who they're gonna kill next. And it's Rob basically debate debating it. And Eric is just listening to Rob, or he goes and gets him a latte or something.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

They talked about the pros and cons of each of the and you remember that Rob had pulled more gullible.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Yes! I I not only remember, I stopped it, rewind it to make sure I heard what he said. He legitimately said that she was gullible. Yeah. And she could be controlled or manipulated.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

And of course they're thinking to keep Johnny and Tara because everybody thinks they're the traitors. Yeah, so they're good cover.

SPEAKER_02 13:48

And then, oh yeah, yeah. So they go over this elaborate, like you said, recap. And but the episode itself pretty much picks up where we left off. I love it. And someone was about to be murdered in front of everyone.

SPEAKER_03 14:01

They are all outside the castle, and there's an open coffin in a circle. It was pretty creepy. It was pretty creepy.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

And so everyone's outside and they're like, oh, who's who am I gonna who's gonna go in the coffin? Who's gonna be killed? But all of them are narcissistic. So they all think it's them. All think it's gonna be them. Why do they all think Mora? I don't know why Mora was she's no threat to anyone. Why would she think that it was her? And but in the end, who did they choose? Yeah, the traitors murdered Mark. Some guy with long hair? Is that his name?

SPEAKER_03 14:38

Mark? I was like, who is that? Okay. We'll never remember who this is. Mark. The guy with the long hair, right? And he had people laid down in the coffin. Yeah. And he told them, see you guys in hell. Which was probably the best line of the whole series.

SPEAKER_02 14:53

I'm like, someone finally said it. And sexy Rob goes, See you, see you, Max. Oh, wait, you said Mark, whatever his name was. See you, Mark. I love you, man. And then he nudges Eric, who hasn't said anything. Oh, yeah, miss you, man. He's a horrible trait. Horrible.

SPEAKER_03 15:11

He would be a really great boyfriend.

SPEAKER_02 15:12

He would never lie to you. He would be. And it seems like he he would enter and said contract. He would sign over all control of himself to you. He would be a great boyfriend. I don't understand why Alan Cummings slammed the coffin. It was very dramatic. It's like when he takes the pictures off the wall and slams them down.

SPEAKER_03 15:32

He could have lost a finger in there if his dress.

SPEAKER_02 15:35

And how would he sew all of his costumes? Side note though, Mora and Tara, they had matching berets on. Oh, I did not think that. They both had they were super cute. And I'm like, I would, I might have to try to dust off my beret if that's a thing again. My head's pretty square, but I'm willing to try. Maybe beret will cut it off, make it look round. But there are only five people left in the show. They also lit that fire around the coffin. Oh, yeah. Which I thought was very dangerous. It there had to be like some kind of safety training involved in this, don't you think? Or someone on with a fire extinguisher looking by. I know. And a ring of fire. For some reason, Adam Alan Cummings poured like all that alcohol on top of it before he lit it on fire. It was weird. And so Rob, Eric, Mara, Johnny Weir, Tara. And she's still oblivious. They're all they're left and they're like Tara's still oblivious at this point. They're the only ones left.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

They are the only ones left. And Mara is still trying to figure out how she's still been safe. Oh, stop.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

How am I still left? At breakfast, did you notice when Alan was making all his dramatic speech before anyone even came in? They were just showing all these shots around the castle and they zoomed in on the salmon. I noticed that you did notice that.

SPEAKER_03 16:56

They're torturing them with the salmon now. And then Eric was the first one in, and I was thinking that he should just eat the whole plate of salmon before anyone arrives.

SPEAKER_02 17:04

Oh, that would be a power play. That's a power move right there. Just walking on the little rebel. They would have voted him out just for that alone. Eric says being a traitor goes against every fiber of his being. He says he doesn't feel like he has the right to take anything, thus the salmon. That's probably why he stays away from the salmon.

SPEAKER_03 17:25

And he had this whole thing before about being the oldest that he sacrifices himself. He was the perfect person to choose.

SPEAKER_02 17:31

He was a perfect pansy. Yeah. He says he always puts other people first. And I can't decide if he has the best parents in the world or the worst parents in the world. Yeah. There has to be at some point, you have to put yourself first. I don't know. They may have they may be brilliant about this. But also in these situations, it's not very helpful, right? No. Is that the whole purpose of the show?

SPEAKER_03 17:54

Yeah, because that's what he even said. This is in direct conflict with the game. Yeah. Why did they choose him?

SPEAKER_02 18:01

I don't know. So Mora comes in and she's thrilled to still be in it. She says that she has been cheated on by most of the men she's ever dated.

SPEAKER_03 18:10

And that makes me think she's probably a cold fish in bed. Oh, I think she's a wild cat. I think But why would guys cheat on her all the time?

SPEAKER_02 18:22

You know what? Because she's look, I don't know her, but I don't think she's intellectually stimulating. And if But she's hot. I know, but if you were a doormat, if you lay down at someone's feet, they're gonna walk all over you. And I think that's what it is. I don't think she she doesn't really stand firm on anything. So I would imagine she's the same in a relationship. But I don't think you can convince her of anything you want. She's too pliable.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

I don't think that being intellectually deficient.

SPEAKER_02 18:54

I love it. That's a great way of saying it. Would be the cause of someone cheating on you. Maybe it's more personality deficient. You don't have any strong point of views or like things you will stand on.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

Then you would like have some really intellectual conversations with people at work. But when you have somebody who's great in bed, you don't go and cheat on them.

SPEAKER_02 19:18

No, you have sex with them, you have sex with them. I think sex and commitment are two totally different things. You can have sex with people and not want to be committal. So but I think you have sex with them for the fun and you stick around for everything else. Yeah. Don't you? And it she's not showing us why anyone would stick around. Look, her hat game is fierce. I would stick around and see what hat she wears next. I don't think men will. And once they've had sex and had all the sex they're gonna have, you eventually you gotta talk to the person, right? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I feel like there's something lacking seeing her flip-flop so easily and yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:58

Because she was easily swayed. She was very swayed. Unlike Rob, who comes in next, and he says that this was the most mentally challenging chess game that he's played. I do agree with him.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

I think I thought this was performative. I don't I think he knows he's coming off as a jerk and he's trying to make it seem like I'm human. This is hard for me to betray everyone.

SPEAKER_03 20:21

Whether he had some moral deficiencies or not, he did strategically plan out a lot of plays in this game that were what helped him get to the end. Yeah, yeah. Look, how did he get to be hot and have brains?

SPEAKER_02 20:35

I know. This is a once in a generational thing. This is the I don't, I feel like all the brains that Mora didn't get were somehow given to Rob. I this we both can't be super hot and smart. We have to spread this out. So this is this this shows you just like how little they think of more because Eric and Rob start talking traitor strategy in front of her. She's sitting there eating, and they're just talking like they're in a turrent. Like she's not even there. And I think at one point, Rob is first we're gonna get rid of Johnny, then Tara goes, and they're talking in front of her, and she's what? But she doesn't even think Tara, she's like, You got you're so funny. You gotta get that ice in those green. Christine made us green margaritas. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 21:28

So I read somewhere that said dogs are not supposed to have ice creams, but when it's hot, I do give them one. Thank you. He's fine. Just sit your butt there. Thank you. You're right. It wasn't like they were asking her, what do you think?

SPEAKER_03 21:50

No, they were just talking like they were. And Mora knew that no matter what they told her to do, that she would do it.

SPEAKER_02 21:55

Yeah, and I think they were on to something there. Rob tells us that Mora has to help. Them vote Johnny and Tara out, and then he and Eric can win the game.

SPEAKER_03 22:03

That's what he says, that he and Eric will win the game, but I don't think that he had any intention of taking Eric to the end with him. Because then he's gonna have to split money with him. Yeah. So even though he was saying that at that time, I thought that he did not mean that at that time. I caught that too.

SPEAKER_02 22:17

I'm like, oh, wait a minute. So he does plan to go because we've always just assumed Eric was a Patsy and then he was gonna get rid of Eric the first chance he got.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

It is interesting that he has the two of them, two people that are very pliable for him.

SPEAKER_02 22:29

Yeah. It's maybe you said like it's not interesting. Maybe it is strategy. Yeah. That was that always his evil plan. So Johnny comes in. Poor Johnny. Oh, and he says it's been rough. He's been on an emotional roller coaster. Yeah, but he says that's what you need. That would that gets you to the point you are at now, or something.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

They are always talking about the Olympics.

SPEAKER_02 22:49

Yes, they are.

SPEAKER_03 22:50

They're really harping on this thing that prepared him for an experience like this.

SPEAKER_02 22:55

They're really you're right. They're really harping on this. And I wonder if it's because it was the time of the Olympics and they were making him bring it back up. Maybe. But Tara comes in looking like an ice skating princess. She is adorable. She's adorable. And then she had those thigh-high boots. Oh my gosh. She looked so cute.

SPEAKER_03 23:11

So cute. It was one of my favorite outfits for her.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

And she's struggling though. She thinks the faithful still can win, but they can still turn us around. Even though she just betrayed Natalie. Yeah. She just freaking threw the baby out with the bathwater. I'm still very upset with her. No matter how cute her outfit is.

SPEAKER_03 23:37

They're gonna eliminate Rob or Eric.

SPEAKER_02 23:39

I think they're they knew it was Rob, but I think maybe they thought Maura would come on board more with Eric. Yeah. And then they can get everything out. Yeah. But no, at the dinner, they did go after Rob. Natalie went after Rob. Yeah. Aggressively. Yeah. And Tara just pretended.

SPEAKER_03 23:53

And that was like it didn't happen. Is this Terra? Tara was the one who had originally brought that up. And then she's, I don't know what you're talking about. It was like it was the twilight zone. It was just so weird.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

What? What are you saying? Yeah, she was her whole idea. It was her whole idea. Anyway, so I'm still really mad at Tara at this point. And that's when they all kind of toast to Mark.

SPEAKER_03 24:15

Yes. That was his name, Mark. It wasn't Mark. And and Rob, again, is telling everybody, I was sure that I was gonna be the one who got murdered.

SPEAKER_02 24:22

And they're and then Maura said, Oh, you poor baby, you're so strong. Oh, wow. And Alan Wals in looking like Harry Styles at a funeral.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

Oh, yeah. I said that it looked like he partied too late last night and woke up without enough time to do his hair. I yes, it wasn't an elaborate outside what we were used to. No, he was just okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:45

He was trying to copy Tara with those thigh-high boots. I think that's what they were going for. It was a boot off or something. I don't understand. I'm like, I feel like he dropped the ball in this one. He honed it in. I agree. He tells Deara to keep to get their heads in the game because by the end of the day, we will have a winner.

SPEAKER_03 25:01

And the prize plot is currently at$180,000.

SPEAKER_02 25:05

That's bonkers. Yeah. And no one's true identity will be revealed after this banishment.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

Yeah, that is uh scary. It is. Anybody who's getting eliminated now, you won't know whether they were actually a traitor or a faithful. So you don't know how many traders are left. You know how many.

SPEAKER_02 25:20

It is that's and if there's any traitors left at the end, they take all the money home. Yeah. So you just don't know. Johnny is convinced that it's Eric and Rob. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 25:31

And he and Tara know they have to get more on their side, which the thing is, I don't know if I would really be that reliant upon them either because they haven't been right the entire time. They haven't been. The numbers are dwindled down. That's true. So, like, they have a pretty good get.

SPEAKER_02 25:46

There's not that many people. They know it's not them. They know it's not Mora. Tara says she's pretty sure it's not Mora.

SPEAKER_03 25:51

And I think that everybody knew that because Mora she couldn't pull. She just could not. They're like, we know you now. We get it. We get this is who you are. Yeah, we know. Yeah, you can possibly. Everybody was nice enough to say how they were sure that she wasn't.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

Yeah, yeah. Because they everyone knows how pliable she is. So meanwhile, Mora's in there talking with Rob and Eric the traitors. Yes. She's very softly suggest that maybe it's just Johnny and not Tara.

unknown 26:22

Right.

SPEAKER_02 26:23

And Rob was like, shut up. You're so stupid. Who said you can talk? It's both of them. They both have to go. They both have to go. And then she just backs down. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 26:33

Maybe there is both of them. But then Tara comes in and she wants to go for a talk with her. And then did you also see those pants that Johnny had on? Because Johnny showed up, Alan, this episode.

SPEAKER_02 26:43

He did. He had those palazzo pants. Man. And I only know the term palazzo pants because of the Barbie movie. She had palazzo pants. Oh, nice. His butt looked amazing in those pants. That was the he looked fantastic. I can't believe I wrote that too. Because I was like, wow, look at Johnny. Yeah. Alan better come with it. Yeah. Johnny's pulling him. Johnny's, in all fairness, he's had really good looks this whole time, too. He has. He has. Everyone has, except Rob, pretty much. I guess his what do you call the overalls or his signature look? I still can't tell if it's the same pair of overalls. It's the same pair of overalls. I think he came there with one freaking pair of overalls. You know why? Because he didn't have one during the mission and stuff. And I figured they had to wash them. They finally were like, it, dude, it's been a week and a half. We have to watch. They stink. So Tara tells Mara, Eric.

SPEAKER_03 27:39

Yeah. And it's smart to tell her that let's go after Eric because she knew that getting Mara to vote off Rob was going to be a big pill to swallow.

SPEAKER_02 27:45

But once they got rid of Eric, then if they would have the votes to get rid of Rob. So Tara really dumps this down for her. And I'm not trying to be mean. Like Tara literally, she holds Mara's hands. Yeah. And she says, two plus one equals three. You get it? And Mara's, yeah, but she's still unsure.

SPEAKER_03 28:05

And I I don't really want to go for it. Knock Tara's intellect ego. Go for it. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed. She's not. She's not. She's schooling Mara. I know. So this is where we're at in life.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

And for like many episodes now, they both agree that they know each other or not.

SPEAKER_03 28:22

And here it are not the trace. They affirm their allegiance to one another. Yes. And Tara says, I'm never gonna write your name down. And Mara says, I'm never gonna write your name down. We know they trust each other.

SPEAKER_02 28:32

And then Mara agrees. Eric really hasn't been talking the whole game. Right. What Tara's saying is making sense. And then she says, She's done tinking. Me brain can't handle anymore. She becomes Irish when she gets tired mentally. When she's mentally strained, she stops tinking. Because the accent comes and goes.

SPEAKER_03 28:54

Yeah, it really does. And she did. She goes, My brain can't handle much more. Her brain has handled nothing. This is probably the first time she's actually had to turn it on and use it. We had previously talked about the line in heaven where you either get in the line for the brains or the beauty. You got in the line for both. Oh, you're so kind, Michelle. But anyway. But I think she just doubled down. Like she was in the line twice. Yeah, you could go, you could go through each line, but I guess is where you stood in each line. She's like, I'm just gonna go through the beauty line twice.

SPEAKER_02 29:25

Maybe it was like you it's an express checkout to get the beauty. Yeah. And you have to wait in a longer line for the brains. And she just kept going express express. Makes a lot of sense. Maybe. I'm gonna write that book. That's our cult. So before the banishment, though, it's mission time. It's time for their last mission. Alan reveals that two players will get into the helicopter and they'll be given a box to take up with them. A chest, Michelle. A chest, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 29:52

It's a big box, a big wooden, a small wooden chest. He did have that sequin eye strips around his eyes that Haisley prints. Yeah, he made an asset. And then he had that jacket that kind of had a cape on the bottom of it. Yeah, he it was cute. Snazzier.

SPEAKER_02 30:09

Definitely. Someone pulled him aside and looked, did you see Johnny's palazzo pants?

SPEAKER_03 30:12

Yeah, exactly. What the hell is happening to you, man? He needs two volunteers born for the high life, and a helicopter roars in. Would you have volunteered? No.

SPEAKER_02 30:22

I would not have volunteered either.

SPEAKER_03 30:23

But Mora, she was not gonna take no for an answer. She's like, that's for me. I'm getting on that. She was so excited. I never saw her so excited about anything.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

And then Rob was like, Oh yeah, I'll do it. Now and then Johnny and Tara and Eric were like, sure, you guys can go. But for all they know, wonder if it was a shield or there, I guess no shields at this point, but they don't know what the advantage is for going on that airplane.

SPEAKER_03 30:47

And also they know that Rob's gonna just be in her ear, which was why Rob did the whole time. Wanted them to be in her ear, either exactly Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 30:56

Exactly. So ultimately, Rob and Mora, they decide to go in the helicopter and they hopped in that thing. I don't even think they put on seatbelts. She was sitting on the edge of it and it just took off. And I'm like, what the hell is happening right now? Maybe they're hoping she falls out. I don't know. Um, so the three remaining players they have to go to lock by car. Yes. Which means Johnny and Tara and Eric are in the car together. And they think Eric is the trader. And then Rob and Mara hop in a helicopter, and Rob is happy to be with Mora because she's his favorite person left. That's what he says. Left. Which isn't saying a whole lot. Which it's kind of, I guess it does say something to the fact that he has a fellow trader left who isn't his favorite person. So I guess looking back, maybe it does say something. And but you also remember he called her gullible. Yeah. I'm like, you called your favorite person gullible? I don't know. Moore tells Rob that she's been persuaded by Tara and Johnny to cast her vote for Eric. Oh, she shouldn't. I don't think that she should have tattled like that.

SPEAKER_03 32:04

Every time she does this. I have some insight on this one. She also thought that she was in the power position here. She goes, you know what? Eric thinks that we're so stupid. We're not stupid. We know he's a traitor. We're gonna vote Eric out.

SPEAKER_02 32:18

We're not that stupid. And Rob is clearly displeased by this. But okay. I'm not gonna go. I'm trying not to be mean to her. But and I've said it before, she's a pick me girl. She wants men to like her. She wants to be one of the she wants the boys to see her as valuable. That's where her value lies. So she couldn't wait to her and Tara had this women, woman, pro-girl thing going, and she couldn't wait to betray that. The first thing she does is to rob. She could have said, Oh, I don't know yet. I'm still in the fence, but she was like, They were trying to tell me that it's Eric. They want me to vote for Eric. I was awful.

SPEAKER_03 33:05

And there were very few times though that she's could it be Rob. So it's not like the thought had never entered her mind. It was a fleeting thought.

SPEAKER_02 33:15

Yeah, it's always fleeting. It's like she wouldn't let her mind go there. Right. She couldn't handle the possibility. She'll say it and then she'll go, Oh, it couldn't be Rob. She'll talk herself out of as quick as it occurred to her. So I oh wait. Speaking of Lochness, I used to follow this guy on Twitter and he would tweet his sexual export with the Loch Ness monster. Oh wow. Where do you find this? I stumbled on his page, and when I start reading the posts, I'm like, I have to follow this person. This is too water surrogate. I know. So it's a water theme. But he was basically, he would just say that every day she's a dirty girl. And she was also into the what is it? The BSDM. Is he saying Loch Ness is a girl? Yeah, he calls her Nessie. He calls her Nessie. And he would say she's a dirty girl. I'm just sidebar. Side sidebar. Sorry. Keep going. Seems like the Loch Ness would be a boy. You think? I he called it. With all these appendages. Oh, yeah. He's a very phallic thing. Yeah. You're right. Maybe the guy may I stopped following him, so who knows what happens. I got off Twitter. Maybe it was a twist that I didn't see coming.

SPEAKER_03 34:25

Oh no. And also, Tara and Johnny are asking Eric, are you suspicious of Mora at all? And Eric, he just can't lie. He just he can't figure out. I don't know. I don't know that much about her. I don't know what to say. But uh you have an opinion. They know he's a smart guy. Yeah, he's not. And he just doesn't say anything. So then they just look at each other and it cemented it for them. They're like, he's a trader. He's a trader. If they ever had any question in their mind, it was confirmed right then.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

All the other traders had opinions. They went after people, but his him going the complete opposite way is just a red flag. Do you want to talk about what the mission was?

SPEAKER_03 35:07

Yeah, they arrive at the lock, big body of water. Three of them are standing on the dock, and then the helicopter arrives with Mora and Rob. They have a potential of winning$20,000. They have to use this little tiny boat to get to the pontoons and open the chest on each pontoon to win money. And each is sealed with a question. They have to answer each question correctly. And then Rob and Mora, they have to find a key card of the possible answers. And they're going to attach it to a float that had various denominations. Buoys? Oh, maybe maybe they were buoys. Yeah, these buoy floats. And the denominations of money vary from 500 to 9,000. So you would attach the answer to a question that you're certain of to a very higher value of money. And if you were not sure, you would attach it to a lower value of money. But the they have a chance to win up to$20,000. That's a lot of money. Yeah, it seems like it. I don't think I would play this game. It seemed cold and what it started out looking like it was cold and wet. Yeah. And that boat was so teeny, and Eric was at the helm of it, and he felt like he was the king of the world. He did. He actually was really stoked about this whole mission. He was really answering it. I actually didn't think the questions were that hard. The first one was remembered them? Yeah. They were so specific. I said which player was last to have a coffin put in the grave at the first mission. Tara thought it was Dorinda, but Rob remembered that his team had put it in Mark's. And he said, I'm not sure if there was a team that put one in after us, but they decide to go ahead and put Mark, and they're correct. They add 500 bucks to the pot.

SPEAKER_02 36:50

Yeah. And Rob is really acting like with all the missions, the last two missions, he's been super aggressive with it. Yeah. Like he knows he's it's his money. Yes, this is true. Everyone else is oh, let's play a game, but Rob is playing to get every penny out of this.

SPEAKER_03 37:06

The next one was who sat opposite of the murdered player at the black banquet. Yeah. And Rob said it was Natalie with Terra's. Nope, it was Colton. And thank goodness they listened to her because they were right. And they added$9,000 to the pot. Oh my God. This goes on for a while. The thing is that storm rolled in. That storm rolled in. It started raining on them, and the helicopter was whipping the candy and the water around them. Yeah. They were chattering. You could see them all shaking.

SPEAKER_02 37:32

And you know what? It was a good like contrast because the night before they set that coffin ablaze and now everyone was all wet and cold.

SPEAKER_03 37:40

There were two more questions. They got them both right. So in the end, they added$20,000 to the pot. Yeah. And then Alan offered a twist, right? Yes. There was five minutes left on the clock, and it was actually five minutes and 20 seconds. And he tells Rob and Mora one of you can jump from the helicopter to get the card from the floating buoy and bring it to land. And I'm thinking, Mora, this is your time to shine.

SPEAKER_02 38:07

And more's like, I don't know how to swim up. I don't know how to swim. She has no redeeming qualities in this game. She hasn't done well in any of the missions.

SPEAKER_03 38:17

Also, she was said she was so cold and all she wanted was a hot bath. And Rob told her that he was going to give her something hot. And I was like, Oh. Oh, they flirting. And that's what I was like, they flirt.

SPEAKER_02 38:29

But he probably does have to string her along. And it's enough to string her along.

SPEAKER_03 38:33

In Rob's mind, he's like, of course I'm going to jump in that water.

SPEAKER_02 38:36

Of course. Because she's going to add$20,000 to my pot. Yeah, and she'll die. Mora will die. He should just push her over.

SPEAKER_03 38:44

So yeah, exactly. Of course he wants us. He's not going to leave that on the table. It was scary though, because once he finally did jump in, he was underwater for a while before he popped up. Yeah, yeah. And then it took a long time for him to swim back to the shore. But it couldn't have taken that. He had five minutes. And I think it was like the end of the bus. He's in excellent shape. They set off some pretty podunk fireworks. They did. But it was probably impressive for Rob.

SPEAKER_02 39:10

It was probably better fireworks than he's seen. And Mara was bedazzled by this whole thing. And now the pot stands at$220,800. That's insane. But who will get that money? Is Rob and Eric or actually Johnny and Tara at this point? It seemed like there was the two duos. Yeah, yeah. And then Moore's in a really good position to be in. Everyone's vying for her attention. I keep thinking, if only Tara had stuck to her guns the night before, this would be a completely different game. Absolutely. Ah, I'm really not letting that go. I should get over it. People in this game mess up all the time, but I just, you know what? I think I I expected more from Tara. That's why I'm disappointed.

SPEAKER_03 40:00

It wasn't just making a bad move or thinking wrong. She laid out a plan. And then follow through. Yeah. And then turned her back on the people that she recruited and made them look like they were crazy. And then voted for her. Yes. And set of what? It was just ludicrous. The whole thing was ludicrous. I still don't understand it. I'll never understand it. So back at the house, they split up.

unknown 40:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:24

Johnny's butt looks so good in those pants. Pants are very flattering.

SPEAKER_02 40:29

So good. Mara is once again confused, which I'm guessing is her normal state of being at this point. Tara and Mora talk. Mora is not a girl's girls. She just isn't a girl. And I think Tara keeps trying to pull her into it, but she's just not a girl girl. Mara goes back and then she talks to Eric and Rob, and she oversells it to Eric.

SPEAKER_03 40:52

Which made Rob concern because he's like, she's doing such a good job telling him a lie. Yeah. What if she's telling me the same lie?

SPEAKER_02 40:58

Yeah, which is good. I'm glad he's finally questioning something. He's finally filling off his game.

SPEAKER_03 41:04

These look like the March of Death when they were headed to the round table.

SPEAKER_02 41:07

It really did. At the round table, Eric begins. Which he has never spoken at the round table ever. Never.

SPEAKER_03 41:14

And here he is leading the conversation.

SPEAKER_02 41:16

And which I guess everything he's doing at this point is a red flag to me because I know he's a traitor. But he begins talking. He does make a good point. He was like, he doesn't have an alliance. Rob and Mora together. With the Love Island duo. Yeah. And Johnny and Tara, the Olympic king and queen. And he was like, I'm just here by myself.

SPEAKER_01 41:35

But even then. Eric gives his spiel.

SPEAKER_03 41:44

Yes. And then I did he then throw out He said that he was leaning toward voting for Tara or Johnny. But he doesn't really make a case for it. Her though? Either of them. I do think that there is some legitimacy to the fact that they came in pretending like they did not have any affiliation with one another at all. And then they come out with this big exposure that they're best friends forever. Yeah. So then it was like they were holding this big secret. So what other secret are they holding?

SPEAKER_02 42:11

That I guess that's true, but I guess everyone has some secret. But I don't think they should have ever done that. They should have known. Why would they do that? That still makes no sense. There's so much about Johnny and Tara that makes no sense. Those plazo pants do make sense. Nothing else they do make any sense. Meanwhile, Johnny makes a oh a stellar speech. Johnny makes a stellar speech about how he how much he trusts Tara and Mora. Yeah. And it seems like they might be swaying Mora because he was like, Mora, I believe this is who you are. You're your authentic self. And which really he was just saying, you're too dumb to have been a trained. Basically, but just yeah, this is me. This is who I am. And then unfortunately, Rob interjects. You can't let Rob.

SPEAKER_03 42:57

And this is the thing.

SPEAKER_02 42:58

You always say that.

SPEAKER_03 43:00

Whoever has the last word is a very powerful word. Last word has the last laugh. Yeah, for sure. You always don't let Rob speak loud. Don't let him speak. And then when you see Alan starting to circle the table, you know that you're in trouble. You have to get the last word in. Absolutely. Even if you just blurt out something incoherent.

SPEAKER_02 43:21

And Rob basically says that Johnny and Tara, wouldn't it be interesting if one of you were already the trailer and then you pick the other person as a traitor? Oh my gosh. And honestly, I don't know who he's performing for anymore. Mora. I guess it's still Maura. Because it doesn't take much of a performance for her. But it it could you're right.

SPEAKER_03 43:42

It could still be Eric. It was smart that Terrace she tattled too because she's like, Eric, when we were in the car and I asked you who do you think it was? You brought up Mara's name, and Mara and looks at him like, what the fuck? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 43:55

But what is really weird about that is I don't think that happened.

SPEAKER_03 43:58

He they asked him.

SPEAKER_02 44:00

Um what he thought about more.

SPEAKER_03 44:01

And he never really gave an answer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:03

And he didn't never say it. I didn't say that. He didn't say it. Why didn't he defend himself? I don't know. And I thought that was weird. I'm like, and all the fence, Tara always says she has a horrible memory. So maybe she really doesn't remember how that went down.

SPEAKER_03 44:15

Maybe that's how she also thought about the whole conversation with Natalie. Maybe she forgot how that was her plan. She's like the dory of traitors.

SPEAKER_02 44:25

She just says, keep swimming, just keep skating. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 44:28

Oh, yeah, the car. It's voting time. It is voting time. Eric, do you want to go one by one? Sure. It was there's only the five of them. Yeah. And it wasn't any big surprise. No, it was no big surprise. Eric voted for Johnny, and then Johnny voted for Eric. And then Rob voted for Johnny and Tara voted for Eric. So really the only big question is who is Mara gonna vote for? And Mara voted for Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 44:53

Oh my gosh. I told you she's an embarrassment up until the very end. Oh, she's just I just me got me gut feeling. I have to go with me gut feeling. It was like election night all over again. 2020, 2016. Just watching the results come in. It was horrible, it was gut-wrenching. I was stunned because I thought. Of course, how they edit it to make it look like she was really leaning toward Eric. Um, and she was probably like, me thinks we're gonna vote for Eric. And Rob was like, No, you're not. And she's I'm not gonna vote for Eric. And that was that. Yep. And because it's the final episode, Johnny can't even make an awesome speech and reveal if he's a faithful or not.

SPEAKER_03 45:39

Tara was just devastated that her buddy was gone. And she's I have to go talk to Mora and ensure that she's gonna vote for Eric. Why would she think that now?

SPEAKER_02 45:48

Why would she think that now she got rid of Johnny? Clearly, she's no longer in it with you. She's not, right? But I guess she has to try after the banishment. Mora follows behind Rob like a puppy. Like a puppy dog into the kitchen. And once again, she says, I trust you. I trust you. I completely trust you.

SPEAKER_03 46:08

Do you try how she does this thing where she crinkles up her nose?

SPEAKER_02 46:11

Yes. Is that supposed to be cute? Yeah, I think Rob tries to convince her to banish Tara. Yeah and she's insistent that it's Eric. Eric is a traitor. And then they agree. They have a pinky promise. They pinky promised. They pinky promise that they can banish Tara, but then Eric. Right. Which hell, Rob. This is the perfect thing, Rob. This is better than Rob could have ever imagined. Rob is such a smooth player because he giggles when she tells him we're gonna win the game. And he's like, Yes, we're gonna win the game. And he grabs her head and he does that. Have you ever seen that meme with Gordon Ramsay pulling the two pieces of bread over a chef's head and calling him an idiot sandwich? He did an idiot sandwich hold on more's head.

SPEAKER_03 46:59

And she just loved it. Well, poor Eric isn't too far off because he still thinks that Rob's gonna stick by his side. Why?

SPEAKER_02 47:06

I don't understand why. Rob has gotten rid of every other traitor. Why would he think this? I don't understand. This is infuriating. This show always like walks that line between infuriating and entertaining. And I did this is one of the infuriating parts.

SPEAKER_03 47:23

Yeah. And and Tara goes to Mara and she says, Rob is a traitor. And she and Mora's, I just cannot see it. And she's I am telling you, Rob is the one who's been protecting you. He is the traitor. And Mara just went one in her and went out the other.

SPEAKER_02 47:43

She completely couldn't even process the possibility that it could even in any realm. This is what makes it so frustrating that in this game, don't you just have to assume everyone's a traitor? Yes. She refuses to even consider that he could possibly be a traitor.

SPEAKER_03 48:02

So they assemble. And the thing is, everybody dresses in their nicest, right? Yes. They come, the girls have these beautiful dresses on. Eric looks very dashing. Yes. Perhaps not those damn overalls on. Those were his dress overalls.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

They look exactly like his casual overalls, but still, they're his dress overalls. They assemble at the fire and they usually go outside. But I yeah, that's what I was thinking. But I guess because of the rain, maybe they had to do it inside. Because I'm like, wait a minute, don't they usually go outside for this? Because it's fire, right? So they're they each are given two bags. One bag is to make the fire turn green, signaling that they're ready to end the game. And the other bag is to make the fire red, which signals that you're gonna vote to banish again. They think another trader's still there or banish again.

SPEAKER_03 48:50

I thought it was quite interesting. Everybody gives their speech about why they want the money. Bob says that he's doing this for his future family. Do you believe that?

SPEAKER_02 48:59

Oh his future family at the gap, so he can buy some more overalls. Is that what he means? I don't know. He's really playing into this, oh shook, I'm a small town guy. Laura just looked so stupid gorgeous.

SPEAKER_03 49:14

It's fucking insane. She looked like she was AI. Yes! Wow, her skin was so shimmery and smooth. You know what? Some people wear makeup. She really knows how to do her makeup. She knows how to do her makeup and it really looks great on her. Oh my. She has a bone structure. She said that she's doing this to make her mom proud. Boy.

SPEAKER_02 49:38

Oh, that's a shame. She should have said, I wish she would have said anything other than that. Because that would have been wonderful.

SPEAKER_03 49:47

Yeah, of course. I also came to realize why Alan had come to breakfast looking like he hadn't slept all night. Why? Because he was up bedazzling a cape for hours.

SPEAKER_02 50:00

Those capes take forever. Did you see all the bedazzles? Yes. He took a lot of time in it. Gorgeous. I don't know where he's getting this now that Michaels is gone. He put the bags under his hobby, maybe. He hasn't slept for days. Exhausted. I hope next time they give him a team to help do the sewing at least. He can just work on the design. So it's time for the first vote. It is. And they all say there's a trader left. They're just everybody voted red. And then Tara turns to Mara and goes, Trust me. Trust me, Mara. Yes. Trust me. Once again, Mara holds the fate of the faithfuls in her hand and she disappoints us again.

SPEAKER_03 50:46

I don't get it. How can one person be so disappointed? Eric voted Tara, Tara voted Eric, Rob voted Tara. No surprise. And Mora she voted for Tara. And I said, But Mora, what did you do? She's not a girl's girl. She's not a girl. She said, I'm never gonna write your name down. She said, I'm a hundred percent convinced Tara is not uh what a traitor.

SPEAKER_02 51:14

So what I guess Rob told her at the beginning of the show, first we're getting rid of Johnny, then we're getting rid of Tara. He said it out loud. Um, her opinions didn't matter, and she got in line. It's so sad.

SPEAKER_03 51:26

It's time to vote again. What a doormat. And Eric voted to end the game, no more banishments. Eric's, we did it! We got rid of Tara. We're it's we're on home stretch now.

SPEAKER_02 51:36

Everything worked out for me. Nothing bad's gonna happen after this.

SPEAKER_03 51:40

And then the other two cast their vote. Both Mora and to Eric's shocking chagrin, they both voted to banish again. And Eric, I think now he's finally seeing what's happening now.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

He was pretty shocked. I don't know why he was shocked, but he was shocked. And this gives this fills me with a little bit of joy. Rob tells him, I made a pinky promise. And I'm not gonna go back with my pinky promise. He did try to guilt them. After Eric voted, he said he trusts Rob and Mora. Yes. And then they voted at some at this point, he's so crestfallen, though.

SPEAKER_03 52:15

He really was genuinely hurt. Yeah, he even says that there's a different moral code happening here. Even if it is a game, there's a line in the sand that shouldn't be crossed, and he's it was crossed. Of course it was crossed.

SPEAKER_02 52:30

But this is the thing. You saw him cross every other line in this game with all these other trailers. Why would you think it would be different for you?

SPEAKER_03 52:39

I don't want to keep going back to Mora's outfit, but it looked like that dress was painted on her body. I just kept like thinking, like, how could she be so hot? I know it's not fair. It must be hours of tailoring to make something fit you like that.

SPEAKER_02 52:55

Now, could you imagine looking like that and like being a genius? It's just it wouldn't be fair. This is the great equalizer. Well, Eric voted for Rob. Yes. And because he's like, I'm not gonna vote for you, Mora. And then they kind of have a little exchange, and Eric goes, You're incredibly wrong. Yeah. Why have you never questioned the other person in this game? And then Mora's, oh, what? Tara's gone though. Tara's what are you talking about? Tara's gone. And Mara says, It has to be Eric. It couldn't be Rob. Yeah. Even now. She's too late. Nothing she can do about it at this point. But it would have saved her some humiliation, I think, if she would have gotten it in this moment. Eric can't do anything at this point. So I think like she was screwed either way. She was screwed either way. She was stuck with two traitors. But maybe it would have been a little bittersweep because at this point, Eric isn't manipulating her. It's been Rob who's been playing her at the time. So if Rob had gotten out, maybe that would have redeemed her a little bit. So both Rob and Mora vote for Eric, so he's banished. Poor Eric. I'm not gonna say poor Eric. He had this coming. He deserved this. Eric has always tried to come off as this good guy, bound by loyalty.

SPEAKER_03 54:16

But I thought that the good guy might finally win.

SPEAKER_02 54:18

I know. And he but he's painted himself as the good guy. You see this. He's the traitor. He has. And now he's faced this elimination, this bit ultimate betrayal in his mind.

SPEAKER_03 54:28

Rob used Eric so masterfully. Yeah. And if it was a game of chess, that was the checkmate.

SPEAKER_02 54:37

It wasn't, it wasn't even, I think Eric gave up control so readily, so easily. It was like played. It was like Igor. Who's Igor? Is it Frankenstein's Igor? That's what it was like. It wasn't that they were never equals in this game. He was always helping Rob reach Rob's goal. Yeah. And it's a sad, it's sad that he casts himself like that, but that's fine. If Eric is dumbfounded, if I had done that, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Yeah, you would have. Because money's great, but I think relationships are more important. No, you don't. It's easy to say it when you've been portrayed, though. Yeah. If it was that she was another foot, I have no doubt that he wouldn't have betrayed. But I don't think that Eric would have ever betrayed Rob. You think if he would have been fine, the both of them going. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think so too. He would have been okay with it. All that's left to do is for Rob and more to reveal their identities to each other.

SPEAKER_03 55:35

So she's she thinks it's funny because she stands there and she goes, Rob, I'm so sorry. And then you see his face like, oh, and she goes, I'm a faith. Oh and he's just oh boy. He said, Oh fuck. And I was like, Can you say that on Peacock? I guess you can. He did. He did. Wow. And he's like, oh. And then she held her hands up to her face. So giddy. Like in a defense. Like it was like a semi-defensive move, like a boxing move. I don't know. Just waiting.

SPEAKER_02 56:07

You're right. She did kind of go into herself, didn't she? She crawled into herself. And then it's Rob's turn. Oh.

SPEAKER_03 56:16

This was brutal to watch. It was because he says, I am and always have been, which is the line that everybody says when they're faithful, right? They get up and they're like, I am how always have been. The dopest, the coolest. Yeah. And he goes, a traitor. And her face. It froze. Yeah. I wrote, she I said she turned into a mannequin. She just she looked, she it was like a mannequin doll. It was this expression that just broke.

SPEAKER_02 56:44

It was like a deer in headlights. Like she, her brain short circuited. She didn't know how to proceed. And she just kept looking. And then you could see the tears starting to well in her eyes. And she goes, I'm so stupid. Um you absolute asshole. You pinky promised.

SPEAKER_03 57:02

Ah, and then she's and she said, I'm embarrassed. And should be. And then he tries to reassure her. She goes, Please stop talking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:09

And then he stops. You could tell he has some women in his life. He was like, I know what that means. She's shut up immediately. Her mom is gonna be so proud. So disappointed in her.

SPEAKER_03 57:20

Proud of her. No, I'm saying that facetia. Okay. I'm like, what are you talking about? She says, I'm here for my mom, and this is how she portrayed herself. And she says, See, what did I tell you?

SPEAKER_02 57:33

It's not good karma to go fake pinky promising. I don't know. She didn't say that. She said, You are a piece of work.

SPEAKER_03 57:41

You embarrass me. You embarrass me. He really messed her up. I think that she will legit never trust anyone ever again. This is why I don't trust anyone. She will be chronically single, I think, for the rest of her life. I think that this is something that like broke her brain. No, I don't think so either.

SPEAKER_02 57:57

I don't think so at all. I think this is probably what happens to her every few months with guys. I think this is just a chronic, this is just her life. This is the path she chooses. She's makes she makes all these decisions. And I don't want to make it personal, but I feel like how she lives her life on the outside did affect how you play the game on the inside. And I bet she she just he's hot.

SPEAKER_03 58:20

Yeah. He's charming. It is ironic that he has those snakes all over his body and that everybody kept calling him a snake. Should have tipped him off, right? Should have tipped her off at least.

SPEAKER_02 58:29

This is she said, this is why I don't trust anyone ever. Because they stabbed me in the back. And she says, You're never gonna get a girlfriend after this. You're such a good liar. It's hard to do that. Really? Yeah. It's really hard to do it. Irish one here, you say it. No. You try it. I can't. I tried. I feel pretty bad about it.

SPEAKER_03 58:48

Sometimes you're better at it than others.

SPEAKER_02 58:49

I'm only good at saying I'm only good at saying three. That's all I really know how to say. I think. Fair play though. And she says fair play.

SPEAKER_03 59:00

He played a good game. The thing is, when it comes down to it, it's a game. It is and he does say, would you give a hundred thousand dollars to someone you met three weeks ago? This is a very good question. This is a very good question. Of course not. And he says this money will change my life. I believe it will. I believe it will. He will have the best wardrobe of overalls.

SPEAKER_02 59:24

Overalls don't cost that much. I guess maybe if you get some Dickies, those are prices. Yeah. Why? You're right, he will. I'm in. Change life changing. He's a bad man, but good for him, Mora says. Rob, you're a fucking snake, but well done. I'm not sure. I mean, that pretty much sums up the whole season, right? He's a fucking snake, but he played a really good game. That's the thing is he was an excellent trader. Yes, he was an excellent trader. And but there's still something about this that feels so unsatisfying to me. I really was not wanting him to win.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:02

But you know what? At the end, I did not want Tara to win either. I didn't want Mara to win. I did not want Mara to win. She did nothing.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:09

She wasn't good at the missions. She didn't do. I mean, come to think of Eric with his magical ears, and I didn't want any of these people to win. I think anyone that I wanted to win was already gone. Mark, your friend. Who? Mark. Somebody knew Mark is playing this game. I don't know. So Alan takes him outside to celebrate. And then they have these fireworks.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:31

Which was probably$100,000 of fireworks.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:35

There's only$100,000 left. Damn. But you know what it is? I think Rob is the villain. Yeah. And you don't want the villain to win. You never want the villain to win. And I think that's a problem. But who would you have wanted to win?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:53

The thing is, I might have even originally said, like maybe Candace or Lisa Renna, but they don't need the money.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:00

They don't need the money.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:01

That's a good point. Tiffany needed money. Tiffany needed the money. And they got rid of her immediately. Like she might be the person that really I might have wanted to see planet.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:13

Yeah. Michael winning would be horrible. He's fun to watch. Michael Rapport was fun to watch. Right. But you don't want him to win. Maybe Ron, just because he he'd blow it all on marijuana. He probably would. He's self-medicated. Maybe Ron. That wouldn't have been bad to watch. Maybe Ron. For some reason, I've always seen him as the underdog of the water. Right. He was the underdog. So I wouldn't mind him winning.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:38

And that was it. That was not it.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:41

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:42

Did you see Alan Cummings' lights uh light up on that cake? He did. It was like a reveal.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:51

Yeah, you won. But check this out. You're right. He really was busy sewing. I'm telling you. He's sewing with lights into his. This was uh this was trying to abdue Johnny's plaza of hand. He saw those and I'm like, I gotta do something special. Someone buy me lights. I need lights. Do they have Michael's in Scotland?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:14

I don't know. In the Highlands? They've got Amazon. They have Amazon. Amazon needs some lights. I need a poncho. If you have prime, you can get it by 4 a.m. That's true. And lot?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:25

And a lot, maybe. Jeez. It was a great season, though. I'm not gonna, I really did enjoy it. I did not enjoy the ending, other than they rubbed Moore's face in it and they spent the whole episode. Oh, all my boyfriends cheated on me. Yeah, I'm not a very smart person. They really set her up to spike the ball at the end, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:49

It was also exciting that they said the coming seasons, anyone can apply for this treacherous game. You don't have to be a celebrity.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:57

I know we missed it. The cutoff was March 10th. I went to go apply. And I'm like, finally, cutoff was March 10th, Christine. Oh. I was so disappointed. My heart is broken in every possible way.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:11

I still think the great race is our game.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:13

You think so?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:14

And I've told you, I have a horrible sense of direction. But that's the thing. You're the comedy relief. I know you're good at direction.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:23

You are. Okay, let's do it before it's too late. Let's sign up for that. You can see us in this upcoming season of the great race. Is that what it is? The amazing race. I shouldn't have wow.
