‘The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras’ Episode 16 with Derek C. | Death, Taxes, and Bananas

[@ces0120]

Derek is just an innately good person. A sweet guy. The world needs that right now. 👍❤

[@scooter2501]

I love how Derek stayed neutral & fun. he seems so good natured. then when he needed to get to work he surprised everybody. I do think he wouldve chosen Cara as a target. Thats why Cara volunteered. She knew. Michelle had been in eliminations too may times so Cara knew he had that excuse to save her.

[@christinaaddis8655]

I actually think he’s closer with Cars.

[@scooter2501]

@@christinaaddis8655 well he is not cause he has said he wouldnt have saved her. He has become closer to Michelle.

[@VAfromNY]

Tori targeted Bananas because she wanted to help Devin's game. But Devin had already been eliminated. Did she think he might have a chance to come back? Like a redemption house situation? Otherwise how could she help his game? When your ally leaves, shouldn't you be playing for yourself?

[@jasmineescalante2794]

She said “Devin’s game is my game” i was so annoyed after she said that bcuz we all know that Jordan’s game is also her game bcuz they r exes. It’s nice that she cares about them but sometimes it’s boring & predictable to watch

[@matchesandmayhem]

Vengeance is a dish best served in silence. If she wanted payback for Devin, she should have been sneaky about it. Making a big deal of it just gave Bananas a heads up.

[@micheleesfeld751]

I freaking love Derick! He won because he thought it through before jumping into those cinder blocks!

[@bellkristi]

Derek just became my fav talking about more plants!!! Johnny I would never have guessed you were planty.

[@RafaelHernandez-or8wj]

Bananas you got done dirty on the Traitors. Dan knew your history and didn't want to risk letting you gain any traction in the game. Can you please convince Wes to do a future season of The Traitors.

[@Flaminhotmo247]

Derek great interview & discussions 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ghostsinger4975]

Derek is so Hardcore. We luv him

[@breonna7189]

Love u Banana's. ❤❤❤. Ur still awesome and people are jelly!!!

[@curiousone1049]

Can we talk about how bananas just completely spoiled the last episode by telling us “didn’t work out for Cory didn’t it” on the pod with Josh?😫😫

[@kimberlylusk9623]

I didnt catch that lol. There was some comments he made a few episodes ago about Tori that makes me think she didn't win too. He said something along the lines about going against him was her biggest mistake in the game and in the end it didn't work out for her.

[@ThatOneDude6009]

Derek was always a sleeper. Never had the chance to showcase his athleticism and he finally was able to in AS4 and S40.

[@AliFrankTheTank]

Derek, the neutraler 😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@fourtime7]

Nice win Dereck C

[@morganmacdonald9487]

My obsession with Derek is an understatement

[@01remy49]

Been waiting

[@canaomalstend3014]

If the plan was to send in Bananas and Laurel why would they ever choose to pick Josh, Jenny or Theo as targets also. Trying to strong arm Josh into playing their game without thinking about how it will impact Josh's game and life.

[@KelsieMarr-q2r]

I've loved Derek C since All Stars 2 🙂👍❤💯

[@jeangrey6833]

I've loved him since Real World Cancun!

[@KelsieMarr-q2r]

You see I didn't watch that season of Real World I

[@QuanPham-mx6gg]

Same here, never was a fan…but his journey and his game…I hope he wins

[@candace7404]

I'm Oprah and I love you

[@jessicaorwateva]

Lol I love Derek 😂

[@FRESHUMAN]

I haven’t watched the episode but I gotta see how Derek won this freaking elimination but yet Cory couldn’t come this podcast

[@FRESHUMAN]

Derek definitely just “Battle Of The Season” Season 23 !!!

[@gymnast1910]

Era 2 had the strongest women

[@Claudymaze]

We need a new video so we cam congratulate you and talk ish about Tori’s dying alliance 😂

[@tf4360]

Cory said yesterday ur his dream partner

[@aimlessendeavorer]

It seems so redundant bringing up the Bananas and Devin situation 🥴 we don’t need every contestant’s opinion on the matter 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@haresibrahim8212]

I would love another rivals season Cory and bananas can easily be rivals that’s 1 of the reasons Cory’s not on this podcast they don’t like each other they might be friendly here n there but yeah there won’t be a Cory on the bananas podcast lol

[@alternativefactschicago2989]

Cory went on Bananas Podcast after USA2 and they went at each other on that season. But for some reason, Bananas had a lot more negative to say about Cory on the show this season. I have a feeling that affected Cory and he did not want to come on the pod this time around, at least yet. You can tell Cory is big on moral code and who he messes with.

[@haresibrahim8212]

@ 100% I agree with u for sure

[@dabu8701]

That ship has sailed. Time for them as a pair was final reckoning. That was peak TYB vs 🍌

[@kidcut]

cant believe I am FIRST to comment on the DTAB podcast!

[@angelamillan_]

We need more of Derek and this type of attitude ❤

[@hannah36090]

Im confused by this pod. It seems like it's the same few topics being repeated every week (with bananas just trying to plead his same exact case from the week before). I'd appreciate getting more from the guests (like their game situations, maybe personal life stuff if they'd like to share, fun bts unrelated to bananas drama, ect.) It's like how long do we need to beat to death the same 3 things

[@matthew-iq4ib]

Jonny saying devin can dish it out but cant take it. que jonnys freak outs bis last 6 season hes been in bc he didnt have the numbers like he use too

[@matchesandmayhem]

I hope Johnny gets number 8 🤞🏼❤

[@imani6938]

John doesn't know anything about famous Black poet laureate icon Maya Angelou

[@melovelo3920]

Bananas, it's the beginning of the end of your #1 Ride or Die is Josh. Just sayin..

[@alternativefactschicago2989]

This was definitely a huge miss not having Cory on this episode. I was fully expecting him and not Derek. Cory is a great watch for the fans. Not sure how this was missed this week. Cory had an interesting season and his story would be great to hear

[@bellkristi]

Corey doesn't like Johnny. Derek and Scott have talked about how Corey is like one of the only peeps to never appear on Challenge Mania. Apparently, Corey won't do and promotion without getting paid.

[@jolieluc]

@@bellkristi He won't do appearances and show up to events but he does interviews and podcasts. He was on Gold Derby recently.

[@alternativefactschicago2989]

@@bellkristithat’s not true because he also appeared on the official challenge podcast. I believe he will do podcasts that he has relationships and they speak good about him. Hes mentioned a lot he’s not about the fake relationships

[@jtyarbrough8073]

Every episode Johnny tries to get his cast members to side with him about the Devin situation. I believe his ex about him being a narcissist. He takes no accountability and is arrogant.

[@scooter2501]

Johnny can never keep his stories straight. He claimed he warned michelle about Devin cause he cares about her. now he admits it was just mental warfare & gameplay. plus all the stuff about being able to dish it but not take it. Hello, pot kettle.

[@Yourabsyx7]

Damn I thought we’d continue with getting the person who got eliminated on the pod. Would rather have seen Cory on

[@haresibrahim8212]

Him and Cory don’t like each other

[@haresibrahim8212]

They might be friendly here and there, but they really don’t like each other

[@Claudymaze]

Cory and Nelson came in gunning for Bananas since they started which is part of the reason they don’t have championships.

[@Yourabsyx7]

@@Claudymaze I disagree I don’t think that has anything to do with why Cory hasn’t won. He’s made a good amount of finals he’s just awful at puzzles and his endurance is average that’s why he hasn’t won

[@taquangoodwinjohnson1903]

I feel like it has to make the most sense when doing these episodes, Cory has been on his podcast before and probably will be back on but why wouldn’t he use Derek since this is his staple episode and Cory might be more relevant during the reunion

[@J-R333]

Cory sucks!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@JohnnyBananass]

sucks that Cory declined

[@dcanngieter]

Cory should be embarrassed ……not only losing to Derek but also rejecting this interview 😂

[@jdwhohe]

He shouldn't be embarrassed for losing to Derek, that's an insult to Derek. Cory used to be one of my favorites when he first started doing The Challenge, but he gets worse and more insufferable every season he does. He wants so bad to be half as good as Bananas. If anything he should be embarrassed about his strategic gameplay, it's horrible. It's akin to a 5 year old trying to play Texas Hold 'em. If what you're doing hasn't worked and gotten you a win after 10 seasons, maybe it's time to change things up. Align with new people, target other people, etc. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

[@dcanngieter]

[@j.4867]

Derek performs well, so considering losing to him an "embarrassment" couldn't be more wrong.

[@dcanngieter]

[@alternativefactschicago2989]

@@jdwhoheCory has been to 5 finals and finished 2nd 3 diff times. He also finished better than Bananas in USA2. Cory just didn’t have the right relationships this season. It was probably his best overall season though. Cory is doing just fine and will get his win when the time is right

[@FRESHUMAN]

Where is Corey at ?

[@Cooljane-zs2zh]

Why must everything be about you?

[@davidmich5588]

Since some slow people are missing the point let me add this edit Josh doesn’t owe Cory anything but Josh gots to quit acting like they’re friends and working together The Theo, Josh, and Cory situation. Yes Theo was going to pick Cory no matter what but Josh could’ve easily said I don’t want Cory to get thrown in. Even if it wouldn’t have did anything, he still said Cory’s name (whether Josh had a say or not) Because if it was Leroy he would’ve said “I don’t want yall to throw bananas in but do whatever” If Leroy would’ve said your name whether the vote mattered or not, you know you would’ve been mad about it

[@matchesandmayhem]

Cory doesn't lift a finger for anyone, including Josh. Not worth sticking your neck out for that alliance.

[@nalinkhanna6845]
