Love the challenge. This show sucks. Obnoxious. It’s a bunch of old drunk guys yelling at each other and not talking about the challenge.
1 Star, since Scott just spoiled the winner of traitors for me! He just can’t help himself. The rest of the content really doesn’t matter if they are going to just spoil other shows.
Tony’s right about Fonzi and the shark !!
Last episode it sounded like Scott and Lindsay hated each other. / really high. Legit sounded like you’re over each other, really weird vibes
