Welcome to Bachelorette party. I'm Juliette. It's Friday night. I'm joined by an old friend, a surprise pod. We didn't know this was gonna happen.

The one in the only Johnny Bananas, hi buddy.

Slow clap. Slow clap. So we are talking. Start off. It's good to know, you know what Juliette hearing it from the horses mouth. It's good to know that we're still friends because after not hearing from you for a while, you were so distant and then you decided to have West Bergman on as your guest after this long intermission that we had. I thought that I thought you moved on to render pastures. I just told you I specifically wanted to talk to someone about why your relationship was not a plot point. I'm this season of the challenge.

And I felt awkward asking you so I had to ask West first to like test it out. Listen the same my first rodeo Juliette and you know if you don't want it to be something you don't make it something and I feel like I've always been.

I've I feel like the only thing that's allowed me to keep my sanity in reality television with my relationships is having my reality life and my real life separate because once you let the two of them blend together, all hell breaks loose and you'll see.

Jenna and Zach are an example this season and you know, Jordan have had their ups and downs. So yeah, once you let those two worlds intermingle.

It's usually ends and ends and sadness so I just wanted to go with that.

That's how we know in your serious because you keep the relationship off the show. Yeah, it's a part of your track record, but it was just so extreme. I couldn't believe it, but.

You know, that's why we're here right now, though I do want to talk with the season. We are currently talking because the ringer did a best reality TV character bracket all week. It came down to a final two and it's you versus CT your code challenge member.

And right now he's kicking your butts like 70 to 30.

Yeah, I mean, we knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, here's the deal. Listen, first of all, I just want to say that I think just the fact that out of a field of 64 of a lot of very popular, very accomplished, very well known reality television personalities to be in the final to me was an incredible, you know, to beat someone like Gordon Ramsay, the Irish chef.

He's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He is a legend. I mean, the situation. Yes, I mean, he had. I love to say true. He had the entire crew. I, you know, J Wow, snooki, Paul, he'd be like everyone out in full force supporting him. So, you know, making it through at least a van der pump. I mean, I had a pretty tough road.

And make it to the final. I mean, that itself is a victory, but I think with CT with him and I CT is obviously just a different breed of human being. And I think when when it comes down head to head to him and I, you know, people are just it's like a Pavlovian response people have to just see me strap to his back, being carried out of an elimination ring. So, you know, I think that's, you know, that's what goes through my mind when it's like CT versus banana.

So it's no surprise to me. I know that's like one of the greatest moments in the challenge and probably one of the greatest moments of CT's television persona, but I'm going to be honest when I think Johnny bananas. That's like number five on the list of top five bananas moments, in my opinion.

Okay. Yeah. Banana's moments, but what's on about banana's CT moments and that's, yeah, sure. I hear that. Now, if you look at our track record, I've actually one more eliminations against him.

But none were as one sided and as that one was and as iconic. So I mean, again, that's just I feel like when it comes down to CT versus bananas, they're not people aren't factoring in all elements of the equation.

It is that one moment. And I mean, hey, it was an incredible moment. I'm not, you know, I'm glad, you know, when history is all said and done, I'm glad I could be a, I've been a part of it.

How do you feel when Ashley told everyone this season that she's made more money than you on the challenges? Is that true?

It is true. I mean, it's true, but she's she's made more money by doing about a fraction of what I've had to do. Okay.

Ashley's made all that money winning two seasons. And, you know, and we're in a different day and age now when the prize for a challenge is a million, the cash prize is a million dollars.

My first win was 75,000. So what season is that the island?
