Hello, lovers and friends. What's up? It's Devin Simone. And I'm Devin Rodgers, and this is MTV's

official challenge podcast. We are back with another episode. How are you feeling, Devin?

Yes, girl, look at that energy. Okay, Day. Come in hot. Today is a good day. Today is a good day.

I am loving that. I wasn't loving this episode, though. Oh, my goodness. Not so bad, but because my emotion, I was stressed. I was stressed. I was stressed. I was stressed. I was stressed. I was stressed. I'm like, I'm not even there, and I was stressed out about it. What do you call it? Emotional Whiplash? Is that you're saying?

Yes, emotional whiplash. I had it today.

I had it today.

It was crazy because last week they had me laughing so much. Like I just thought it was so funny in the comments or somebody. This time I was like, stress, I was shocked, but in a good way. I was entertaining way. Yeah, I was mad. I was like, I dumbfounded all other things. Okay. So let's walk through it.

So this challenge was called

Runes My Life, which I was like, I dumbfounded all of the things. Okay. So let's walk through it.

So this challenge was called Rooms My Life, which I feel like is actually fitting for the episode name.

For sure.

The winners who came out on top, we had Sydney and Leo.

And then the losers were Lekka and CT, but it wasn't just a loss.

So we had a couple teams that didn't even finish, right? Yeah. But what was it? Izzy and her team progressed further than Leka and C.T. Because C.T. basically got a toe on the left. Like I don't even know. Yeah. He didn't get up there. Yeah. And that's so crazy. They didn't get as many puzzle pieces, but he didn't get up there.

Right. So if he would have just gotten up there, they'd have been okay. Yeah. What are your thoughts about that? Like that? Oh, since he stressed me out. On one hand, it's like, okay, I get it. Maybe you did, you know, have a flashback of what you experienced. And I understand trauma. Like some things is just like, ooh.

But there's an expectation, and I don't know if that's fair. See, here we go. Let's talk about it. Is that fair for us to put that expectation on him to overcome it because he's CT? Like, is that fair? He's still a human, you know, at the end of the day. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.

And look, the older you get, your body does not respond to stuff the way it used to. I think I'm just disappointed because I wanted him to try. You know, like Anisa said, we've all had falls, right? I've had some traumatic experiences on the challenge, but it doesn't stop me from trying. I'm going to have that first two or three seconds or maybe even minutes where I'm like, Jesus, you're going to have to do the work.

Because if you don't, I ain't moving.

You know what I mean? But you press through it. And I think... I mean, Lee's had traumatic experiences. And Lee doesn't even like heights. He's had dramatic experiences over the water. Right. Yeah. So, ah, CT. So then do you think think he did it? Like, because yeah, it just doesn't make sense to me. It's all, it's all crazy. And it's such whiplash because what is happening the last, what, three episodes? Let's do a count now. Bananas is gone. Kara is gone by no fault of her own, but she's got, you know, a power player's gone. Now we have CT looking like he's on his, because they're going to come for him now, because he's now liability. Then you have the newbies who are being all moral high road. They don't want, like, so they're going to come for him. What is happening to our bet? I don't know. Is it age? Are we breaking down? Do we need to oil? Is there something in the water? Like, I don't know. I don't know what you have to. The only thing I can think of is, well, first of all, let me say this, because I want to be very clear about this. When it comes to CT in this, this one situation, I think that the heartbreaking part, like I said, is I wanted to see him try.

And I think it's also important to note that I think because it was a girl's day and not a guy's day, he had nothing to lose. So you think if it was a guy's day, do you think he would have succeeded? Okay, you just think he would have tried. I don't think he, if, if the trauma is as heavy as he says it is, he wouldn't have succeeded, but he definitely would have tried.

Yeah, and that's not fair to put forth the effort.

And that's not fair to put forth the effort. And that's not fair. Exactly. And so that's where my problem lies with CT. Because that's, that's not fair. But as far as, like, our vets kind of just like, you know, tap it out here, they've been doing this show for since Columbus sailed the ocean blue, right?
