Hey, hey, hey, friends. What's up? It's your girl, Devin Simone. And this is Devon

Rogers, and this is MTV's official challenge podcast, the best podcast. And we are back

with yet another episode. Devin, how you feeling, girl? Good. Today was, it was a lot.

It was, I'm not going to lie.

Ashley was, in fact, cracking me up with Theo, like, just hilarious.

It also looked fun.

Yes.

Yeah, this one that you would want to do?

Yeah, I was upset.

I was like, producers, where was this all my three seasons? What was stuff like this? This is the type of stuff I get excited about, some puzzles and I get to drive. Let's do it. Yep. This is one of the reasons why I love the challenge, right? I don't care how many hours, days, weeks, months, years you spend in the gym, a puzzle going to crack you every time.

Every time.

So unless you on the treadmill doing puzzles, baby, the puzzle is going to crack you every time.

It was so, I'm not going to, it was hilarious, watching everybody fold at the puzzle.

And you know what, Ashley had her temperate.

And I thought it was hilarious. It was funny. And I was so confused because Theo's usually good at puzzles. So I was a little confused, but yeah, I was like, ooh, chow. It was, yeah, a puzzle going to get you every time. Anisa and CT, because a CT was like in the back of the pack at first, and then just we're knocking out these puzzles. We see a little of that betterness coming in. And then ultimately, the winners were Leo and Nani. And I don't mean this with Shade. I really don't. I was surprised that the winners were Leo and Nani. I'm not the only one that was surprised. I mean, I'm happy for them. Like, yes, I was very surprised. I wouldn't have bet on that week. Do you have day? I would not have. Thank you. But, but, but I do believe that Nani has been in rehearsals, okay? I believe that Nani has been in rehearsals. And Leo is in the fight of his life after last week. So there were no options, right? Fair. There was no other options. They had to get it done. So yeah. I want to practice that last puzzle because that seemed to be the one that was hanging everybody up. Yeah. And I want to better look at that to see why that one in particular was so hard. Now, were you shocked to see Yermy and Taye come in last place? I was. I was, especially since Yami did so well, you know. It was, it was unfortunate to watch because you could see that Tate kind of carried that and she felt like it was her fault. And you know, you never really want to see that, especially when you know that Tay is a competitor, right? Right. So that was hard to watch. But yeah, I think this whole thing, like I said, no matter how much work you think you can put in, you cannot ever underestimate how much your mind will be under pressure during these things. and then you come to a puzzle and it's like, oh, you know, I got this, I got this, but your mind is checked out.

You check out. So yeah, it gets rough. Absolutely. And so then we have deliberation, right? And then we see Leo and Nani vote to save Ashley and Theo. Now you had mentioned you were surprised to see the dynamics between Nani.A-Sha. I didn't know Nani-I- well, I wouldn't take away them being friends because they've been doing these shows together for so long, right? But I didn't know that they were close like that to where she would save her. I didn't know that about Nani and Ashley at all. And to hear Ashley say like, oh, it's great to work together finally as opposed to just being

your friend.

Like I thought that was a very, yeah, point in a moment, which is interesting.

And then we see Izzy and Will get nominated.

Izzy was so blindsided.

She was.

It was all over her face.
