0:00 Welcome back to the nullified tech where we've got the tnt takes for you on the challenge all stars three it is the premiere week and i thought i would drop another episode and talk a little bit about some predictions i have for this season more so specifically we're gonna go into who i think the top five contenders would be for this season and we're gonna look into why i think these are the challenges to look out for in this season so in no particular order here the first person that i think this season is going to be a massive threat and is coming into the season with something to prove is no one else but wes bergman i know that in the draft picks if you haven't checked that out with myself chantal and drew doing our draft picks for the season drew did pick him in the first round is his first male pick for the season and to be honest with you if drew didn't pick him both myself and chantal would have picked him as well west is coming into the season he's all over the trailer he's saying that he is going to play the sloppiest game we've ever seen and i think that we want to see a sloppy and messy game out there and we want to see wes go in full force and the reason that i think wes is going to be a threat this season is because he has had a couple of seasons now in a row where
1:20 Things have not gone his way the last time that he has seen a final is actually in war of wars war of the worlds won and he ended up second in that very brutal season a season that turbo ultimately won but he has then lost in three eliminations in succession since then so he's lost against people like bear bananas and devin now bananas obviously his ego would have taken a little bit of her bruising there but you can understand that to a certain degree but i'm losing to bear and devin that has got to hurt for the person who holds the record for most elimination wins ever in the challenge history and in total his prize money that he's won on the show is only something like i think 330 000 dollars to date there's 500 000 at stake here now he's a very successful businessman outside of the game but i do think west is coming in for business and he's coming in to really prove and cement that legacy that he has within the challenge and i would be shocked if he does not do well this season with the connections that he has in the house you know he's got a lot of people he's played the game with before i think he's got a good chance and also let's not forget that he's got a 40 win record when he does make finals so if he does get there he's won twice out of five finals in the main season coming in at the second spot here for one of the players
2:40 That i think we need to look out for this season is another man with something to prove as well and that is going to be jordan wisely now jordan is a three-time champ on coming into the season so people know who he is he has also won three out of four finals giving him a 75 win record when it comes to finals so he's going to be a massive threat for people they're going to want to take care of him they want to get they're going to want to vote him out before he gets to the final because he is going to be difficult to beat but here's the kicker even if you throw jordan into an elimination he's won seven times and have only lost twice in eliminations making him pound for pound one of the best challenges especially one of the best new school challengers that have ever played this game so if he does go out and actually win this season it's probably going to be very similar to war of the worlds 2 that he won where he was thrown in weekend after week and he had to win his way through eliminations to get to the end and then ultimately win the prize and with people like wes on the season who's not a big fan of him think about total madness and the beef they had between the two of them i do think that he may be in for a very rocky road in this season but he's got something to prove he's had a very public breakup with tori who was his fiancee who's now gone on to become a staple
4:00 Of the show she's in all of the main seasons and somehow jordan who's got the best record or out of the two of them and one of the best on the history of the game he's not being invited back tori is coming back season after season and a couple of seasons ago he wanted to lay his game out for her and let her win the season so i feel like he's going to come back with something to prove now the third person here that i'm going to talk about is someone that i've always rated very highly i've had her as my number one female pick for all stars one and she's also my number one female pick for all stars three here and chantelle would probably say it's because i'm an ageist because she's only 35 years old it's kellyanne judd she's never won a season before she's had one final appearance out of four seasons in the main show she played all-stars one she didn't win that season but she did come first for the women and she actually drew with janae who won all-stars two showing that she's an extremely capable person if she can get to a final now she's also not someone that they're gonna throw into eliminations easily i think because head to head she is also very successful at winning her way out of elimination so i think she is quite intimidating to a certain degree to a lot of the girls and the ladies out there and i do think the men will want to keep her around because if they're gonna swap partners throughout the seasons almost like a free agents
5:20 Type of scenario and like they had in all stars one and that's some of the rumors i've heard that it might be something that is going to suit that free-flowing type of game with different partnerships being created for different times in the game i think that is going to suit someone like kellyanne who's physically capable people are going to want to keep her around because she's not going to be an anchor to their team when it comes to trying to win the money she does have a past history with wes as chantal pointed out on the podcast when we did our cast assessment so that could either hurt or benefit her depending on where she has left things with wes and if they've even spoken in recent years i do think it's in both wes and kellyanne's benefit to let bygones be bygones and work together here in the season so i do think we're going to see a big game from killian this season and my money is actually on her to potentially win this season because she's coming in with less of a threat than the next person that i'm going to be talking about now the next person i'm going to be talking about and i did give drew a very hard time for picking her as his first girl on this season is going to be no none other than the reigning champion janae manion i don't know if i'm pronouncing her last name correctly let me know in the comments but janae has to have one of the best stories from any challenger in recent seasons
6:41 She came onto the show before she played in the main season for a couple of seasons never really fully lived up to the expectations that people had on her as someone who won a show called endurance as a kid which was also like elimination types of challenge games maybe challenge slash survivor reality tv she was a champion as a kid and that and did so in a very dominant fashion i think a lot of people thought she would translate to the challenge very easily and do well but she had bad luck with some of her partners that she got in those early days and because of that i think she lost a lot of trust in her own ability to be this badass that she ended up being on all stars all star she's found her mojo back she's now one all-stars two she was the first female you know like i said she drew with kellyanne in that season and they were very unlucky that they didn't have a male and female winner which in my opinion there should always be a male and female winner for each season but she's proven that she can win these shows now she's going to have a few more competitors this season that's going to go up against her like kellyanne but you know my biggest fear for janae coming into the season is how will she be able to stay out of an elimination and can she win an elimination if she does get thrown down there because i don't think that this group of players out there is gonna let her skate by for
8:01 Another season without seeing an elimination if i was in there and if i was a woman i would be targeting her because i would think she is someone that could take the money from me but for the guys i think they're going to want to work with a reigning champion and someone that has proven that they're going to fight for the team in a finale so that could also work in her favor so after i gave drew a very hard time for picking her so early i did go and think about it and i've got to admit that she is probably going to be a very good pick here for this season now lastly but not least the fifth player that i have got my eyes on coming into this season is going to be darrell taylor darrell again is one of my team surprise i've got three out of the five is currently in my draft team for the season but darrell is a full-time champion he is someone that has come close now in two all-star seasons making it to the finale i believe came in second twice or was close to second twice in both of these seasons his ego has to be bruising right now is one of the goats of this game you know he hasn't been doing so well when it comes to all-stars and he hasn't his whole aura about being undefeated in finales is completely shattered now and you know if he's got that competitive spirit still within him which i think he has he's gonna go full throttle this season to try and get into the finale and finally win an all-star season and who wouldn't
9:21 Want to see one of the ogs one of the pioneers of the challenge go out there and actually finally get that win that he hasn't had for so many seasons you know i definitely would like to see that he's got six wins out and three losses in eliminations as well so a lot of people won't want to throw him into eliminations if you do count last season i believe he's got an additional elimination win one for one in all-stars so he's definitely someone that can play a great social political game and he's got connections and he's going to be a certain amount of fear around him the one thing i will say with both jordan and darrell who's my two guys here i don't think wes wants to see either one of those two in the finals i think jordan doesn't care who he goes up against and i don't think darrell keys who he goes up against in a finale as much but those are my five players that i think we should be looking out for this season i think they're gonna be the ones that potentially could go out there and win this season who's your five players i'm really interested to know who do you think has the best shot at winning this season i know it's way too early to make predictions but it's always fun to make these predictions before we go live and then we can look back at it at the end of the season with eager in our face when none of these five players makes it to the finale and none of them win the show i can't wait to talk to you guys this weekend with drew and shintal as we break down everything for the challenge all stars
