  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I almost famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's still almost in his podcast, and as the Bachelor
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: universe expands, we are bringing you with our thoughts and
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: opinions on the different shows. They keep popping up on
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: goodness gracious, and they're popping up today. We're going to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: be breaking down episodes one and two of Alex Cooper's
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: unwell Winter Games, because we were supporting Joe and Serena,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: who are contestants on the show. Now, Heather is with
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: me today to break this down. She's been watching vigilantly
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: as we all have. We've already talked about this a
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: little bit, Heather in a past episode of kind of
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the casting of this. Dakota is obviously a big name,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and we also have and at del V you know
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: some some characters that were like wait, what is happening?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: That was answered for us in the first episode.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: H Clearly they were going for people that were controversial.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: It was definitely a choice that they were making.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It was a choice and I'm actually glad when I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: heard the intro, I was like, Okay, now this makes sense.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: They wanted this. This was not a this was not
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a show. They were trying to like please the moral
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: compass of America. They were wanting the chaos, controversy, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: drama to come out of it. So now that part
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: makes sense, doesn't make it right or wrong. That's for
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the viewer to decide and for the individual decide. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we now know why they did it. Heather, I want
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to start with, how would you feel if you went
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: on a show and they entered it by saying all
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: these people are unwell mentally?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if I would feel great,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: But to me, when I was watching it, I was like,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: they're just really trying to fit the word unwell in
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: here as often as they can. But yeah, no, I
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: wouldn't feel great if I was, you know, in a
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: headline that said that I was cast on a show
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: where people were unwell.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't feel great. But we do kind of enter.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go through every contestant that's on
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the show. There's so many, but.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Some familiar faces for you though.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe and Serena are on this. Louis from The
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Perfect Match knew him well. I had no clue he
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: was dating Hudha from Love Island. We also have somebody
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: on there that has like sixty four million followers on Instagram.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and funny, I was embarrassed by actually how
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: many people I recognize from this cast.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, what does this say about me?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And how autronically online I am? But yeah, I actually
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: don't know who that person is that has the sixty
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: four million followers.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I neither do I, which is while Juliette we also
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: see she was on The Perfect Match yep. Obviously we've
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: mentioned Dakota who secret lives He's on Dad Talk, which
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: is something I've learned about very recently. We also bring
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in I think a cool little like twist was one
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of the contestants couldn't make it on day one, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: so they bring in a producer to be a part
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of the cast. That producer ends up becoming like the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: main character on this show. Very cool.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, I even had to do some sleuthing the other
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: night to be like, this is this guy really part
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: of a production crew. There wasn't a whole lot I
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: could find out about him on the internet. I did
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: find he has an IMDb page where he is listed
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: as an actor, but if you look at his Instagram
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you can scroll back a bit and see that he's
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: been working at Unwell Productions for a minute, So I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: think that that's there's definitely truth to the fact that
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: he works at this company. And I did read an
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: article that the Love Island contestant that wasn't able to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: make it for filming like that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: There's no bad blood.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like they pulled out at the last minute
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: from like an issue. It's Kendall from Love Island, who
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: if you're a Love Island fan you're familiar with that's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: from the previous season, not this most recent season. Yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: so there was no issue there. It was just like
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a travel situation. And remember the show was only filmed
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: over the course of four days.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very quick filming. Yeah, he the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: producer owns it. He not only gets told he's going
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to be on the show, but he dives in as
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a cast member very quickly.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I mean it does feel like he would have like
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit of an advantage because he would have
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: sat in all the pre production meetings. He knows what
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the show is going to be, he knows who's going
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to be there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: He's almost a little too comfy on camera for me though,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Like as somebody who has worked behind the scenes, like,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: this is like kind of my worst nightmare if somebody
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: was like, and I've been asked to. I've been asked
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to go be in the background of shots. I've also
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: been asked to on competition shows. One time the producers
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: called me and wanted me to go and do the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: challenges ahead of time, and I was like, this is
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: my worst nightmare, Like, I do not want to be
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: in front of the camera or on that side of
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: things whatsoever. So this guy just totally stepping in and
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: being like I'm gonna bartend, I'm gonna make out with people, I'm.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Gonna it's like I'm gonna drink a ton.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Absolutely has no care in the world, and so, yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: can't relate, can't relate, would not be me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he did it. He owns it. The first
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: episode is kicked off by a competition who's the host
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of this By the way, he's obviously part of the production,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: but I have never seen him before.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I've never seen him before. His lower third.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Says Adam w I'm gonna have to do some slew
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: thing because I actually do not know who he is
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I've never seen him before, but he his
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: his hosting role is really to be like the ultimate
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: say whatever, and none of it really ever makes sense,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: but just make it as like fun. This whole show
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: is kind of centered around the idea of let's just
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: make it fun, chaotic and like open up the door
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: for people to make the decisions that these this group
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: will make. For me, it's been one of it's been
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a similar watch like The Perfect Match. It's entertaining, it
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: is there's some very awkward moments that we'll get into.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: For me that I don't enjoy watching, but I know
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: they're good for TV. But they definitely dig cast how
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: they wanted and the people are performing up to stit
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: par The one character that really kind of is cracking
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: me up is Cameron. Cameron Is he comes into this thing.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: He's like a TikToker that just talks trash about everybody.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: That's what he says. Yeah, and he comes into this
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: after talking trash about pretty much every person that's else
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that's there.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Cameron is on my FYP on TikTok.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: He is one of the TikTokers I was very familiar
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: with because he is so funny.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, could I have named him? In a lineup.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Probably not, But I the second I saw him on camera,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I go, I know this TikToker is.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: He's in my feet all the time. He's so funny.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I've got to ask you, because we're uh, like the
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: same age. Did you used to watch MTV when you
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: were a teenager or was that Okay, I'm not sure
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: about like what you used to consume. This show gives
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: me very old school, messy MTV vibes. Now, I can't
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: say I've watched MTV in the last fifteen years.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: It's on me if it exists anymore.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: By the way, some iteration of it exists, because they
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: do like the challenge and stuff still, but I don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: know if they make content still like this. But that
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: is what I feel like when I'm watching this show.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: That you're not wrong, You're actually that's a great comparison.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It is like the original Real World with more like
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: competition based, where exactly you get a bunch of strangers
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: together in the house and you say, go live together
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and see what happens.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: For a competition show, it's much more focused on what's
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: happening in the chalet than what's happening in the competitions.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Heather, I'm gonna say, I want to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: ask a question that's controversial to you, Okay, because we'll
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: break down these episodes. Really, we're doing it for Joe
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and Serena, and I'll be honest. In the first two episodes,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they are not a thing.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say first episode blinking you miss them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: They're definitely not there. We only get a funny line
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: from Joe in episode two.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is They're not the focus it was.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm asking this question because it was brought up to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: me by a friend yesterday. You know, The Bachelor has
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: struggled as of recent for multiple reasons. But you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: my buddy has a theory that the lack of drinking
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: on the show has caused for those elements of surprise
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and chaos to be a eliminated. It's now instead of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the drama coming as like kind of funny like drunken arguments,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: now it's they're like sober and more like bully like
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: direct like personal attacks, because like nobody's like loosened up yet.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: These shows obviously are like allowing people to consume as
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: much alcohol as they want. I'm not saying it's a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: good thing, right. It's not something that I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: go out and drink your brain's out and then go
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: on TV.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: But is I mean, these shows that are really taking
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: off right now don't have a drinking limit and the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: shows that are struggling. Do do you think there's any correlation?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: That was his question to me.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: I think that that is a valid point.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like we've seen I want to say that
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: NBC Universal went through a similar thing two summers ago
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: about the drinking and now has to give like a
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: drinking like guidelines before the filming of every single show,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: and they are.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Also limiting their alcohol on those shows.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And as an avid Bravo watcher, I want to say
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that I've not noticed a difference in the content on
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: that side of things. When it comes to a dating show,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I think the bigger thing that we've realized is that
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the younger generation, because they have communicated so much on
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: their phones, are actually more awkward when doing the face
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: to face communication, so it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Makes it a little bit harder to watch.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: We saw this on the last season of Love Island
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: because Love Island also limits the alcohol and they actually
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: only drink little.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Like baby cups. Like they had a very small drink.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, and that show is full of dramas, so
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: A little bit here and there.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, we miss those I miss night one
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: at the Bachelor Mansion, when you know somebody would get
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: so drunk they fell in the pool in their suit,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: you know, like, yeah, yeah, it happened in a lot
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: of seasons. We don't get that moment anymore. But I
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: think there's a little truth to that. And also just generationally,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: we're just seeing a big shift in how the younger
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: generation communicates and how they hold themselves on camera. I
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: think they're a little bit more savvy too when it
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: comes to especially these people when it comes to their brand.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Oh and like going into a situation that makes.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Sense, Yeah it does. I just I mean this show
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: obviously it came up because this show is open bar.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Drink as much as you want. I think, I don't know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: we don't know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Actually right, it looks like they were doing shots for
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: sure in episode two. So they're drinking wine too, which
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: actually kind of cracks me up.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Like, see, I mean, I love a glass of wine.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I'm in my thirties, but it's like kind of funny
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: to see like a twenty one year old, like holding
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: a glass of wine, like sitting in a chalet. We'll
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: get this in episode two.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: But cigarette smoking, Yeah, I didn't know it was still
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: a thing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I have not seen that in a minute, and it
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: made me write the question of is cigarette smoking back
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: in with the younger generation.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a New York thing.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It's never left New York, and I think all those
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: people that we are like New Yorkers, and I do
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: think it's a New York thing. Still. God, I don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: have any friends. I had friends that previously smoked, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: past college, and I don't have any friends that still smoke.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a thing. I don't see it
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: out a lot anymore. But I do think when I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: go to New York it's more common. Heather An. Episode one,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: we get introduced to the cast and then they play
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a game a challenge where they are a jump on
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a snowmobile and then they have to pick the TikTok
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: or the amount of followers each person has. This is
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: really just an entry to the whole show. There's not
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: a lot here that takes away from it, but we
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: start to see kind of the whole idea of the show.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: It's four days, it's a competition show. There's going to
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: be two different teams, there's gonna be people coming in
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and out, and there's gonna it's kind of gonna be
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a fly by the seat of our pants, like everything's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: gonna change. There's no really format, like they're kind of saying, hey,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you went home today, and new persons coming in. It
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: is kind of the idea.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And the fact that everybody's split into two teams.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: So we've got the Blue team versus the Purple team,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: and they're all competing for cash, and then there's going
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: to be chances for them in individual competitions to bank
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: money for themselves.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: That's kind of like the gist of the show.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: The end of the show is to the teams have
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: to pick their weakest link. This ends up becoming Louis
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: who says that I will be the weakest link on
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: this team because my girlfriend is on the other team
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to be loyal to her over my team,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: So I am your weakest link. And then Hallie, who's
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a podcaster out of New York City. She volunteers because
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: she's like, this is just going to get awkward, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I know I'm the weakest link here on this team,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and so I will put my hand up. She says,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: there's no way they're going to send me home, So
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that's not happening.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: It was a very strategic amount of people being like,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: who's our weakest, Like, well, let's vote off somebody that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: not really weak because we know that they're going to
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: go into something like they all knew that there was
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: going to be a twist, and so that to me
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: was like, these people are a little too savvy than
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: like some normies who would go on a show like this,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: who would be douking it out, you know what I mean.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: It was like a very civil conversation between both teams
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: to choose the weakest link, and that's usually not how
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: these go.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: No it isn't. But they find out at the end
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: of the episode that, h you know, the loser will
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: be going home, the two weakest links will be competing
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: in a challenge. The loser will be going home.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: And then we see in the end of episode one
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: that Demi from Secret Lives and Mormon Wives comes in
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: and she will be taking the spot of whoever ends
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: up getting eliminated through this next challenge, so everybody's pretty
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: shocked to see her, especially Dakota who is literally on
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the same television show as her. Episode two, we get
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: into it picks up right where the last episode has
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: left off, and we see that Alissa and Cameron are
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: talking about their strategy to win the game. Cameron says
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: that asks Huda to talk outside and he's honest with her.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: They kind of clear the air because there was a
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: little bit of tension there. But the next day we
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: go into the cast members having to go to this mountain.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: They don't know what's up, and this is when you
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: know the host tells them and Alex Cooper comes out
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: that you know they're going to be doing this next challenge,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: but Alex says that there's a twist. Whoever wins this
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: challenge gets to stay in the Unwell Games and win
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars. The challenge ends up being beer pong.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: You have a beer pong past ben.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I enjoy a good game of beer pong.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Louis is a little caught off guard because he's gonna
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: have to be playing this and he's from the UK
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and says he's never played this game before, and he
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: is going to be playing up until this point against
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Hallie because she was the one who, you know, said
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: she was the weakest on the other team. But right
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: before she goes, Andrew from production says that he will take.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Her spot because he likes her.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Because he likes her, and yeah, that's that's why.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Uh So they play face off against each other and
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Louis shockingly wins for having never played this game before.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: It's pretty neck and neck.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: He's good though they I mean, maybe they just show
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the made cups. Yeah, but Louis takes him down. Andrew
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: looks like a guy who's played some beer pong, like you,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: just like, yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Andrew probably has his own beer pong set up at home.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: That's what I would guess by looking at that guy.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Sorry, after this game, he's not happy that he lost,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: but he goes back to production.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Everybody about five seconds.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he shows up again. He shows up
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: again really after the team challenge, which is sending people
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: down in a well.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: First it's a trivia challenge and then it's the throwing
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: people towards a bullseye in an inner tube. The challenge
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: with the trivia stuff is when we get the one
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: funny line from Joe so far in these two episodes,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: which is that his whole passes du Lipa.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of people's actually, I.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Think Duleva is very hot.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: So like, and we also find out that Dakota has
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: slid into Selena Gomez his DMS and not heard back
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: from her. That was actually really funny because I think
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: by his reaction, he did not know that that was
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: actually going to be a question on the show. He
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: was pretty embarrassed that that got out about him, and I.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Think he's confused on how it did. He's like, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: haven't told anybody, Like, how does anybody know?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: It's like, Dakota, you told a producer like at some point,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: or you filled out an application and you put that
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: as an answer at some point. Yeah, he was very
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: embarrassed by that answer, and he was very embarrassed he
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: got called out. But yeah, then they do the inner
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: tube thing where they throw them towards a bull's eye,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: and the one who ends up getting closest is Nico,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: another TikToker that I am very familiar with, the Daddy Academy.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I really love Nico. If anybody doesn't follow him or
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: follow his content, he's super sweet. He's East Coast bass guy,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and his whole content is geared towards women about not
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: falling for boys and how to like, you know, get
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: a daddy, like a good guy that is not gonna
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: treat you poorly.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: So he's very positive.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: We like Nico and we like the Daddy Academy, so
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I was happy to see him pop up on this show.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: And I'm chronically online. That's all I realized when I
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: watched this was I was like.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know everybody.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm the unwell demographic, but it made
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: me feel like I am when I watched this, because
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I know like ninety eight percent
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: of this cast.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good. I mean, that's amazing, Heather, And I'm
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: thankful for you because I did not now the big
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: moments in this The rest of this show are really
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Andrew the producer. Yeah, back into the chateau for the
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: evening portion as the bartender. He's a bartender for just
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: a short period of time.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Bartender who doesn't know how to make drinks. He's very
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: clear about that.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I think there's one thing on Andrew's mind and it
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: is Halle. Yeah, and the two of them end up
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: canodling for a bit. This is the awkward exchange that
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I was talking about. It's not awkward that they're kissing.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Good for them, they're single, they're into each other, go
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: for it. She's into a lot of the dudes there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: She admits that she doesn't know who she's going to
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: kiss in what order and how they're not all going
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to find out. But the two of them laying in
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: bed and this awkward, like that's the moments that I cringe,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: where like he stops kissing right away and he goes, oh,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: you're a good kisser. I'm like, I don't need that
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: or like want that, and who says that? What's happening?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: And when he's in an interview and he's like a
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: month ago, I was at the mall and my friend
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: pointed at a poster of Halle and now I'm making
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: out with her.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I was like, Andrew, dude, keep that to yourself. Man.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: It's a little tough, a little tough for me to
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: like to watch. Ye, it's a little cringey, I would say.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: The kids would say, it's cringey. It's cringey.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It makes me like kind of like buckle up a
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Also cringey. Andrew wearing his sunglasses all day and all night.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: He it's nighttime. He is making out with Hallie. He
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: is wearing his sunglasses. He's wearing his sunglasses in his interviews.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: He is not taking those babies off. And that's a
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: little cringey.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: It's a little tough, but he's enjoying his ride. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you know what, for Andrew, he is at a sense
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: outshining people who have made a living.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's getting like the second most amount of camera
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: time and he's not even a celeb, but like for
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: sure celeb.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I use the word with air quotes on this show.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's loosely. Next, Adam, the host, joins the contestants
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: at the chalet. After this whole makeout session. Someone from
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the losing team will be getting eliminated that evening. It's
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the person who is furthest from the target. So Hannah
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: is eliminated. Hannah, I think is the one with like
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the second most followers or the most followers on the show, right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she had a very high following count and no.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the funny part about this show is
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: nobody knows when and how people are getting eliminated, and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: they're just eliminating as they go. So Hannah is being
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: eliminated and she gets replaced by somebody right immediately.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: So it's like, that's what's funny about this show, is
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: like immediately somebody goes home and then they're like, and
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: here's your new teammate, and in walks in Dylan Kevitch.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I think I'm saying that last name right. He is
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: known for. He's another TikToker that I was like, as
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: soon as he popped up, I was like, didn't know
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: his name. I have definitely seen him on my feed.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: He does like very funny little dances and his whole
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: thing is shut up and me, uh that's what literally
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: it says on his lower third. And those are the
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: tiktoks he's known for me making funny. And he shows
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: up at the chalet and when they're talking about going
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: in the hot tub, he's like, wait, I didn't know
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: we were gonna like be getting, you know, shirtless. Somebody
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: needs to help me shave my back, which is what
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: they end up going to do.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Shaving his back.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: That is fantastic. What a show, Heather. Obviously we're breaking
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: it down for Joe and Serena, but yet they are
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: not fitting the mold of this show. I cannot wait
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: to possibly get them on as guests to be like,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: what were you thinking as this thing was going on?
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: We get a.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Scene with Serena really quickly.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many drinks she'd had, but Hallie's
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: talking about, you know, making out with somebody, blah blah blah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: and Serena goes, well, the least she could do is
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: give him some toime.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah she did.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Say that, so we got We got Joe is his
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: hall passes Dua Lipa, and Serena is encouraging a little
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: tonsil hockey with her new cast mates.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: But other than that, yeah, we have not seen a
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: whole lot of them.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Also, we saw Joe answer a question completely wrong during
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: one of the challenges.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: You just shouted out an answer.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if they're just happy to be there,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: if they're you know, they just wanted to get a
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: four day little ski sesshon in, but you know, we're
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: happy for them regarding neither of them have gone home
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: and they're on the same team. They managed to not
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: get themselves split up, which I guess is a good
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: thing for them.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they and hopefully they're getting more action the two
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: of them than anybody else in the house.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, oh off camera, you mean.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're not going to get filmed.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: You know, we all know that Joe and Serena live
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: in a very tiny apartment. I don't know if you
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: watched them get that whole place made over. I did,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: and it's very small. So I'm hoping that they have
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: a very large room in this chalet, and that was
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: like one of the big reasons for them to go.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: It's a little vacation head there. As we close. For
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: listeners out there, would you recommend watching this show?
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be really really honest.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I as much as I do like Joe and Serena,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I actually felt last night when I was watching episode two,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I thought, did I just get.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Dumber watching this?
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: There's a little too much of the chit chat about
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: making out who I'm gonna make out with? When am
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I gonna make out with this person? There's like a
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: little too much of that for me, And so no, I.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Don't know if I would recommend this.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Show, but I also am like, I'm not the age
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: demographic for this show, So I would love to know
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: if our listeners are watching it, if they're enjoying it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Listen, it's a it's a four episode thing.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: It's not like we're doing a huge undertaking recapping this show.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: But I would say, comparative to Alex Cooper's other show
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: that we just recapped, Love Overboard, which I adored and
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: thought was so funny and so twisty and great and
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: so many levels, this is not hitting those same beat
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's obviously a very lower cost production.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Oh clearly.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: What I saw a shot of a camera person in
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: this second episode in a mirror, and it's just a
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: girl with a little handheld.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Camera like standing there.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: So it's super super low budge what they're making here.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hey, but it is a wild cast,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: which sut it before, and we've talked about it today.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Can I just say sorry before we go?
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Ben Anna Delvey showing off her ankle bracelet while filming
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: that was actually a highlight moment.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I thought that was pretty funny.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah it is, and she has to go charge it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she has to go charge it because she's at
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: high elevation and she like doesn't want people to, you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: call the FBI on her.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: So that was actually kind of funny what should.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Actually make for a great scene in the show. The
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: FBI raids the chateau to find out where Anna is.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: This has been our breakdown of Joe and Serena's appearance,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: and that's what we'll call it on the Unwell Winter Games.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Check it out if you want, don't check it out
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: if you don't want to. It's it's a it's it's
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like a it's a time passer. I would call it. Uh,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a good time passer. Hey, this has
