Now that we're healthily demonetized. Yeah, now that we're demonetized, welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. But I feel monetized. You are, you're tised for sure. Monitize me. I'm here with my co-host, Mr. Zach Nichols. When this show is over, we will have finished covering two full seasons of the challenge. It's kind of crazy.

When this one's over? When this episode is over. Yeah, but we're going to talk about the reunion. We are. I want to rip on everyone's style. And I saw Tori. I saw Tori, Laurel, and Cara on stage. Isn't that crazy?

On the same couch. On the same stage. I weren't on the same couch. Nah. You got to remember that time of stuff. But isn't that crazy that I saw that and that's what's drawing into this reunion? Yeah. Not Emmanuel, but.

Not scrubbellish. No. Bubbellish, scrublish. Time out. Go ahead. Can we somehow get Emmanuel's face without his chin piece, his chin hair? Yeah. Well, we get for yours on now.

I bet it just fucking disappears. Oh, yeah. It's like a flat earth. Yeah. It doesn't round out. Oh, no, there's an ice wall there. But what happens with him is it just goes right from lip to neck, I think. Yeah, just no chin.

Yeah. I got a rip on some people's style. Come on. Go with it. I'm going to bring it. All right. You want to get started? Well, we could.

Or we could talk about how I had a, like, just a horrible event happened to me this weekend. Let's talk about it. It's a busy weekend for. Yeah. What was that, G? There's no snare in my headphone. Gee. There's no snare in my headphone.

What are you doing, G? You're fired. Well, then I just rehired you. You're fucking fired. You're fired. My microphone. Is it working? All right.

You fired. You fired. You fired. So Jenna had some people over and I wasn't home. I was out and about with you guys. Yeah. And then we met up. And then when we get home super late, right?

Well, not super late. but when you have kids, it's super late. And Jenna hits me with a, oh, yeah, I forgot. Wait, speaking of which, I got to tell her we're getting started. Yeah, let her know. So she doesn't bombard me. For those, microphone, bro. Oh.

Unplug it, plug it back in, do what you got to do. I'm not, you guys are seeing the real fight between me and G right now. I do not like it when my microphone goes out. Yeah, who needs, who needs enemies when you have fucking friends like Pierre, right, G? Geez, go get the dick. head cup. Slap him in the face with it. We've been fighting all the day.

She has no control over whether the cords do the work or not. She can only just put them in the right spot. Okay. All right. You got it on your side. I'm not going to hang you. I'm just kidding. I don't, you know.

Dude, you got to be nicer to women. Fuck you. Especially what? Oh. Dund. Did you really just drop that? You hear my microphone not working. Seriously?

I think there's a. Mine's working, but I think the air conditioning just went out. Did you? Yeah, you unplugged it, bro. Because you're holding on to it. Yo, can you hear me? You think I'm gripping onto this? This wasn't a tight.

All right. Is it all the way in? It's just a tip, just for a second. Well, that's what you were doing over there. Just to see how it feels. All right, real quick. I don't know if you guys heard. I don't know if you guys heard the fucking diss from G.

She said that's why you're still single. Wow. No, don't. Why are you single, Pierre? I'm single, the big bachelor, I'm sick, big fatichini, the big table for one. The big exit row. The table set for two.

Yeah. It's hard to cook for just one. I am single because I'm very stubborn, but very mean, bro, what the fuck is right? She's killing me. I don't know what, I don't know what happened there, but yeah, so, sorry. You get home from work or from what we were doing. Jenna says, hey, but, and then you texted her.

What happened? So she hits. No, I didn't text her. We get home. Oh, yeah. Together. Oh, okay. We get the kids asleep and I'm, you know, I take the dogs out.

And I'm getting ready to probably shower and go to bed. And Jenna hits me with a, oh, yeah, by the way. I'm like, well, whoa, what? She goes, I won't give her friend's name. She goes, clog the toilet. And I'm like, excuse me? I'm like, you just decided to tell me this now. And here's the thing.

We have, like, listen, we have fantastic flushers at our house. That's something I'm very passionate about. Yeah. Like power flush, 3,000. Yeah, like high velocity. Yeah, we have great flushers. How's the plumbing? I mean, that plumbing's good.

I don't know how the rest of it is. I mean, knock on wood, we haven't had any, like, well, we actually have had some shitty plumbing. Take that back. But things are good right now, but like the flushing-wise, it's good. And so we don't have a plunger because when we moved, I was like, I'm not taking. This is going in the truck. Who fucking takes a plunger to their new house?

I mean, you know, it's a plunge 45,000. No, a flush. Oh, okay. We don't have a plunger. We have great. Our toilet's flush. Yeah, but you just don't have the plunder. Water pressure is great.

And then I put in it, like, I install. That's one thing I know what I do. And so I'll, I have to go to Meyer at 10.30 at night. And let me tell you, there's no casual way to buy a plunger after like four in the afternoon. Because if you walk into a Walmart or a Meyer at like 10 at night, of a plunger. Just a plunger? Well, I bought some, like, cleaning spray, too because I, like, didn't want to just have a plunger.

And it was on sale. I like this little I saw. And I'm like, everyone's giving me the look like. Good. No, more of like, I feel for you. Like, you're going to clean up a mess. There's no casual way to buy a plunger. No.

Yeah. Remind, like, that is also no casual way to buy a carpet cleaner at 3 a.m., which I had to do on the morning of my sister's wedding because my dog woke up and shit 40 gallons of fucking diarrhea. Come on, Rumbo. Yeah. So anyways, you realize that when you're in that position and you're buying a plunger

at 10 p.m., everyone at Myers, like, oh, no, I'm sorry. The side eye. Yeah, that's kind of like the mood I feel. And it's not even your own, it's not even your own little situation. You know, if you're cleaning your own situation, it's a little easier. Listen, if I haven't clogged, this is what I was thinking. If I haven't clogged this toilet yet. She must have had a lot to eat.

Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah. They call me the big BM. Oh, the big movement? The big movement, dude. Power. The big movement, B.M. Yeah.

Anyways. Stealing my nicknames. Well, for those of you guys who came to the live show, that was a lot of fun. Big shout out to everybody. Round of applause for everybody that came out. It was fun. And, yeah, so we had a lot to do this weekend, and it was good to see this season to wrap up. I think a lot of people were just about done with it.

but it ended, you know, okay. I don't, I mean, listen, like, I don't think anyone has to, like, beat around the bush here and say that it's just, it is what it is. Someone won who we didn't want to win. Not that he wasn't a worthy champion, not that he didn't do what he had to do to win in that format. It's just, like, that's kind of on production in a way. It's, like, this, like, they should have, like, leaned into him being a womanizer and a player and, like, given him, like, a villain role. because that's really what I think like he just played quiet, had all the girls,

you know, hooked up with 30% of the girls. And sometimes, sometimes if it's a good movie, you really don't know if the villain or the protagonist is going to win. Sometimes the villain does win. Exactly. They should have leaned into that a little bit more. Or just maybe he gave them nothing, which is again, then it's a shitty casting move.

But, I mean, for what I'm seeing... He's banging three chicks. He's giving him something. Well, he's giving him something. All we heard about was his girlfriend and his mom. Apparently, you know, whatever. His mom apparently commutes to work to England every day. Right. So this win is going to pay for her to just quit her job and move back,

but also put a heater in his grandparents' house, which is all great things. But, like, they didn't give it. He didn't give us much all season. I mean, congrats on the win. You won. You endured it. You dominated the final.

That being said, like, you gave us nothing all season. So, like, if people aren't that enthusiastic about it, it is what it is. And, dude, there's been. winners before that people don't like right for sure and you had a little uh you had a little exchange with him on instagram we're good friends now do yeah i thought it was positive i invited him on the podcast you did invite him on the pocket he's a class act i mean definitely hey bro you're you're your your real class i lost my shit when you said that well that was hilarious

well you know there's some sarcasm involved there i feel like one of my superpowers is sarcasm i'd agree i'd agree so yeah before we like so we get in of this episode and we have what we got left we got emmanuel snooze fest all season but he did bang 35% of the female cast so you got to give him that you got the people's champ near east who everyone probably i'd say 95% of the viewers want her to win yeah 99.99 people in america i'd say the rest of the europe might want someone else or maybe the gay community might be going for cori other than that yeah no core i mean cori has been my front runner to win all season long he has i think he's

I think he's got what it takes when. And I mean, he keeps, like, he has, like, listen, when's the last time we had a a gay man this, this much of a force in the show? I mean, Shane, I guess if you want to say, like, Shane was probably the last, Shane is the icon for me besides Frank. Well, Frank, obviously, but like, I'm saying, like, the last, like, you know, it's been a while since we had, like, I mean, he's, like, the most intimidating guy in the house, right?

Mm-hmm. So it's since, I mean, what, like, I guess, like, Paulie, I mean, but Paulie is kind of like the Forrest Gump of gay guys. Like he's not full gay, you know? Right. Like, Forrest Gump is mentally challenged, but... And he wasn't at his peak whenever he was like, yeah. But he was mentally challenged enough to become a billionaire, a war hero, a national

champion, you know, like, Paul, he's, like, gay in the sense that I'm sure he likes to, like, work out with guys and going to the sauna with guys, but, like, he's only gay until a car walks by, right? I'm not going there. I'm not going there. I know he has done some pretty gay stuff on only fans with his boy, Sean. T, so I don't know. Right, but he's not full gay.

He's Forrest Gump gay. You know, he could be doing, I mean, listen, he can be working out with Sean T all he wants. Carl walks by and her fur, lingerie and tell you who Polly's going to follow. For real, dude. I love Polly. Love you, Pete. No, he's great.

But, like, I guess, I know what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you're saying. But also think about this, dude. Think about, all right. Well, just to go, Simba was only vegetarian until he, you know, saw the meat, you know what I mean? 100%. Like, listen.

Listen, I'm just, all I'm saying is Corey is a dominant gay athlete on the show. Yes, he is. There have been gay, dominant athletes on the show before. Shane, dominant swimmer, Frank, all around one of the best competitors. And, like, Pauley is part of that community now. Yes. Just not all the way. And a dominant part of it.

Very dominant. Very dominant until Car walks in. Anyways. Why is this funny? It's just funny because I love Polly, and it's just hilarious that we're teasing him. I'm not teasing them. Okay. I'm literally making an exact comparison.

Okay. Then you have Colleen snooze fest. Yes. Moriah is still in the game. The most interesting thing she did was break her vows as a therapist and make somebody cheat on their ground. And like that is literally the only, the only interesting thing she's done all season. Oh yeah. And be Berna's bitch the whole time.

Getting yelled at that. Oh, yeah. And then Berna. They forgot about her. How do you forget about Berna? because she's so insane that I'm ready for the final to be over to stop listening to her wine and make excuses for how bad she is. I'm with you there, buddy. I'm with you there.

So anyways, we're moving on. So we're moving. Oh, Mariah was still there at the beginning of this episode. Yeah. But they had an elimination round. They did. Could Norees eliminate more, like, how many people is she, like, for real, how many people have she eliminated this season? I mean, four there, five with Mariah.

Five with Mariah. And then technically she eliminated Corey and Burna by finishing. And Colleen. And Colleen. She's the black widow. Yeah. She's got exes all over the place. She kills them.

She buries them. How about when she's like, I just going to remember what Horatio told me and just go slow. And when you think you're going slow, go even slower. And I'm just thinking like, yeah, like your guys is a relationship. Come on. Did she not think about that? That's a layout, dude. Oh, my gosh.

She gave me that. She did give me that. She said, Zach here, and she tossed up. And it was a beach ball. And I hit it with a tennis rag. That wasn't even difficult. Hey, man, any man that's going to wait three and a half, four weeks to kiss that girl, we got to laugh about it a little bit. Come on.

Take it slow. Yeah, take it slow. And when you think you're going slow, go even slower. A little bit slower. That's great. All right. So we come back from the chaos level final. Emmanuel is granted safety.

And he has the power to put one person to elimination. He chooses the one person he hadn't been working with, which we know is not. to Reese. And that's what we said from the beginning why she was going to struggle in the final and this is exactly why. But this is also why she's like, really proved herself to be a hell of a competitor because...
