Has Cara Maria Lost Her Edge? The Challenge 40 Analysis

0:00 You know like how Cara Marie was saying how she's you know an average Joe swinger amongst Michael Phelps whereas Emily C is literally a Michael Phelps like well not Michael Phelps but yeah like Olympic gold M swimmer it's a crazy comparison even can we talk about Cara since you brought her up you would have noticed on the podcast I've been talking about Cara a lot less than usual and Cara is like everybody know my alltime favorite female challenger but it's been a while now karia since you've been doing the challenge and I just don't think it holds up anymore when you say I didn't grow up with a swimming pool and didn't have like if you can lift weights if you can do she didn't grow up with one but she's been pretty rich for a little while now like yeah I still love you cara but I'm just going to say that excuse does not hold up anymore it does not hold up for not like it yeah you should not be quitting you should be I like Rachel's attitude she's like I don't get this at all like what she's joking out like Rachel's just freaking all about it she's like yeah this is K Maria like what is this like she just it was so much disdain for her competitive or lack of competitive

1:21 Nature and I found that really like it what is that what are we seeing from Cara there I'm feeling very deflated I'm getting I'm getting quitter vibes from K Maria at the moment I'm getting real quitter vibes from her I don't like it I don't I don't like seeing like you know that my Superman is Mortal you know and it's not good to see Kahuna and I'm coming to realization that I'm going to call it I think karia goes home in the next elimination I just feel like this is not the karia that I know it's not the one with the fighting Spirit and maybe I'm being harsh doing a swimming challenge isn't necessarily her strength but it's also just the way that she needs Michelle to talk her up and we've been seeing it this whole season where it just feels like there's more than just the swimming there's things going on outside of the swimming like I feel like she's lost her a half this season and that she feels for some other reason inadequate against some of these competitors that she's going against right now against Jenny and Rachel who she's going to go up as targets against something feels off to me you know when a player just that their head's hanging when they're playing tennis they're looking at the record more than what they should trying to blame the record for the reason that they're not having a good spell that's what

2:41 I'm getting from K Maria right now and I don't like it I don't like it at all I don't want to see this from Cara Maria yeah make some sense of it for me ker look we forget that she was out of the game for five years was it five years it's a long time I don't know if it's five years maybe like three either way it was it was a Hiatus right yeah she came back for an All-Star season which is not the same level as even a normal season especially you know and then to have her first true season back be against what is admittedly the strongest lineup to ever play the game yeah but you're looking at the same season you're looking at Rachel who's had 15 years off or something 20 years off from playing the game she came back for the same season she's playing her second season as well and she's dominating she's Leaps and Bounds ahead of Cara Maria right now so I don't know if you can use that excuse maybe it's because Cara Maria is not in the drama at the moment she doesn't have a back against the wall she's got some people that are backing out she's not in the game she's not dominating or anything like she hasn't been in the dominant alliances blah but she certainly hasn't been targeted like crazy as in the earli part of the Season or her All Stars experience

4:01 Maybe she's just a little too comfy and cushy she likes having the sword of the neck kind of thing you know let's see some comment here of what people are saying it's maybe one of the reasons I feel low about this episode it just doesn't sit right with me to be honest with you cat said shocked that Michelle did not win for the woman she swims so well Michelle is a good swimmer and I was shocked as well but we're going to talk about Tori in a bit because we got to continue to love Tori on this podcast Tor is like the number one female this season without a doubt Britany is saying the daily looked awesome to do disappointed in car though she's been doing this for too long to be a bad this is what we're saying Britany you're in our you're in our heads and you're getting what we're talking about King cash is saying yes but the challenge has multiple Seasons with all stars so he might find sometime it's not like he was doing it every season anyway so talking about Jordan maybe not retiring k was acting like a baby this episode she's an adult she can afford to take some swimming lessons and some therapy sessions I don't know why you needed to throw in therapy sessions there YouTube but Michelle talks yeah Britany is saying
