It's the recap of MTV host Ali and Brian T and the dog and a party table like this song that don't I hate.

Hello everyone walk right to the challenge USA we have a podcast for episode 10. I am Brian Cone with me as always in my clothes. I'll ask you how are you?

I'm soft like a twiggy feeling in the middle Brian. How are you?

Not nearly as good as that but I'm doing quite okay. Is that good? I don't know if that's okay. I think that's bad but I didn't read it.

Becca did want to check it from last week. She said Ali have you mentally recovered from last week?

Wow, I made a promise to myself not to address the one person who complained that I was whining and here I am in the first 39 seconds of the magus addressing it but like if if complaining about some part challenge strategy is whining then I'm whining and I've brought some brief this week to go with it.

But I actually am higher on this episode than last week but it might be a mature effect that like I couldn't possibly be lower than I was last week and still show up to do the podcast.

That that's I love that you're higher on this because I'm taking all of your energy from last week because I thought this episode just PU flat out stunk. I thought this was one of the worst challenge episodes I've watched in a long time.

I thought from start to finish awful.

I mean it wasn't even the worst episode I've seen in the last two weeks but I understand but like but part of the frustration was even brewing.

I think the week before Jenny and Kirsten were even on where it's like okay hold on where do we go from here like last week more than it was shitting on the episode it's like the existential crisis of like what are we doing here and part of that dread was you know bolstered by the thought that we had five more weeks to go.

I think I'm coming into this episode knowing it's the second to last and I like chef's kiss beautiful wrap it up we've got nowhere to go but the final and I think that's helping me see this episode through.

Yeah to me that's like the only saving grace is that we're really not doing this for more than like you know the first 35 minutes probably of next week and I like that's it but other than that like there was just.

I mean there's nothing here I don't like I mean we I think we both predict like we're going to be ends over David this week outside of some glaring difference like the daily stunk.

The elimination was a snooze fest another wasted great challenge classic there's no strategy there's no nothing.

I don't get me the final that's what I want I don't know I don't know I don't necessarily be care I think the women's elimination next week actually will have some intrigue but right now it's just that there's just nothing.

Well let's also go back to one of the more frustrating parts of last week that got sort of cleared up in the end terms since we last spoke about it.

And that's sort of the desi move I guess I should apologize to desi for being so I think part of my frustration was also so disappointed in desi someone I'd been high on coming into the season and then I thought she just strategically put the bed on sending cash in overtaking a shot at Angela and Alyssa.

Some gaps were filled in since since then so I apologize but the edit really should apologize to her.

Yeah no definitely I mean the other the fake alliance that wasn't the thing and then it was pretty clear based on what everyone said I guess she would have had to go away and if they couldn't agree.

Yeah a lot a lot of misleading stuff from from last week's edit for sure but it's interesting that it starts out again we're doubling down on this.

Where Sarah is like all right just me Kayla and just Dean which is like I'm interested as you continue to interview the women after the season and you know I guess after the season because next week's the end.
