Johnny Bananas Takes Us Behind the Scenes of 'The Challenge: Eras' Premiere: Devin and Leroy Were Struggling for 'An Eternity'

Transcript

00:00First episode, um, Leroy, happy to have Leroy back.

00:04Another one who claimed they weren't coming back.

00:05We got Leroy back, but struggling off the bat.

00:07I know.

00:08Devin also in the boat.

00:09How long were they in that water?

00:10Oh, my God. An eternity.

00:13Uh, I think Devin's boat sank.

00:16Right.

00:17Okay, but, okay, in fairness, though,

00:18these weren't boats.

00:19It was like if you took, like, one of those, like,

00:21straw, like, you know, hats and flipped it upside down.

00:25Like, that's what it was.

00:26It was like you were trying to,

00:28you were trying to row, like, in a saucer.

00:29Yeah.

00:30Um, so it was difficult, uh, and someone like,

00:35I have experience in boats and, you know,

00:39so even though I'd never rowed in anything like this,

00:42I kind of understood the technique that it required.

00:46Um, I don't think Devin and Leroy

00:48got that figured out very well.

00:50Um, it also came down to, like, you know, the puzzle.

00:53And, you know, that first, there was so much pressure

00:56that first challenge because we knew

00:59that half of the house was going into elimination.

01:02Right.

01:03Uh, we knew that if half the house

01:05was going into elimination, it was gonna be a bloodbath.

01:08Um, it was also the way the season was starting off.

01:10Like, there was a lot of pressure to perform,

01:13not just on the puzzle, but then once you get out into the lake.

01:15And, I mean, I think just sometimes

01:17that pressure gets the best of people.

01:19Yeah.

01:20Um, and once you start messing up,

01:21you know, a lot of times, you know,

01:23you continue to do so, and I feel like

01:24that's what happened to, uh, Leroy and Devin.

01:26But, yeah, it was, it was, it was sad to see.

01:29It was hard to watch.

01:30I feel like TJ was laughing pretty hard.

01:32Yeah.
