Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Challenge Invasion or HapUp podcast, Episode 9.

I am Brian Cohn. Here in the, this week is a special guest, Ms. Haley Strong. Haley, how are you? I'm doing well. I'm excited. I'm a little disappointed that my first appearance here on the Challenge for Hapap podcast is one without my darling dear, my love, my everything, Allie Lacher. But I mean, I guess you're an all right substitute. That's all I strive for. All right is all I need. I know. And I know people think I'm an all right substitute too, but we'll have to wait and see. You'll probably have to run it home with this week as a two be continuing. It's kind of straight from your world as a bachelor bachelor they thrive on that and we got another one this week definitely uh this really feels like you know a welcome

episode for me because there was drama there was girl and girl hate there was a love triangle

like you said a to be continued um allegedly there was some punches thrown. So, like, this is my world. Yeah, cons of the stuff. I don't understand why this show and The Bachelor, the two ones that probably do these two be continues. Why do shows need to do that? Like this, I felt this one had so much momentum going to that and just killed it. And The Bachelorachelor does that too. They have so much momentum going into the big climax of the episode.

And then it was like, nope, next week.

I don't understand.

I think they do it to build drama.

But what really happens is it's easier for us to kind of tell what's going to happen in the next episode.

Like to me, without, let's just skip ahead. It feels like to me that this, they're just trying to extend time so like Johnny can be on the TV show more. You know, and the way they ended it, it doesn't feel like Johnny's going to get in the basket. I could be wrong. Whatever. Um, but then it's like, you don't go out being like, oh my God, what a great episode. And it was. I, this is probably one of my favorite episodes I've ever seen of the challenge. Um, but it's, it just kind of like breaks it off in a weird spot. Yeah, it killed it for me.

But before we get into this,

I want to,

we're usually to deal with whoever we have on is,

uh,

kind of get their background of the challenge.

So what is your,

are you a rap or rap addition to the challenge?

Or were you watching this before me and Ali brought it to this world?

Uh,

no.

See, I,

I do things.

I kind of, like, I do things. I watch TV shows that Allie talks about. I didn't watch a challenge before her. I didn't watch R. You the One before her. I didn't watch Drag Race before her. Like, that makes me sound like the creepiest creep to ever creep a creeper. I'm like single white femaleing her right now, trying to take over her life.
