Transcript

00:00What is the most common food eaten in the Challenge House?

00:04The most common food eaten in the Challenge House?

00:11Probably antibiotics, just because of what a petri dish that house becomes in a very

00:18short period of time.

00:19But other than that, I'd say microwave pizzas, because a lot of times the catering that we

00:23get in other countries is suspect to say the least, so a lot of times we just go back to

00:29Old Faithful and we're like, actually burgers this season, we were in Vietnam and we got

00:34like these Australian burgers that were in the freezer, so a lot of hamburgers were consumed

00:39this season.

00:40What is the average number of people that go to bed at night?

00:44Average?

00:45I mean that's the thing, it's like there's some outliers there, okay?

00:48You've got the older folks that like to go to bed really early, like at sundown, and

00:52then you've got the newer folks that literally don't go to bed until sunrise, so I'd take

00:57probably the median there, I don't know, it's midnight, you know?

01:01I turn into a pumpkin after midnight, so I'm definitely in bed by then.

01:03I mean I try and set myself a curfew, especially, here's the thing, I try and get on some sort

01:09of a rhythm or a routine, and staying up until God only knows what time every night, just

01:14you know.

01:15At this point I need all the help that I can get to stay healthy and to heal and to recover,

01:21so yeah.

01:22I try and get as much shut-eye as I can.

01:27Oh man, there's been a few.

01:31Tony losing his spleen and literally almost dying in front of us because he bled out five

01:36pints of blood.

01:37Leroy smashing his head off the back of a car then flailing 35 feet into the water and

01:43almost drowning.

01:44Ashley Mitchell getting tangled up in a tag line and almost decapitating herself.

01:50There have been a few.

01:51There have been, we have 100% really come close to tragedy a few times, but I mean that's

02:01what we sign up for.

02:06So this is often debated.

02:09I definitely will say until the day I die that Rivals won, that was the first two-day

02:16long overnight final in the history of the Challenge was the hardest final ever.

02:23I've heard World of Worlds won was hard.

02:25I've heard that there have been some other ones.

02:28All I know is that after, I've competed in multiple finals.

02:33I've competed in I believe 11.

02:37After every single one, a little sore the next day, didn't necessarily feel myself.

02:44After Rivals won, I couldn't walk for a week.

02:47So that one was absolutely, I mean brutal.
