He's telling a blindfolded will Compton "where do you think it goes?" When they were getting close to the puzzle.

I don't think he was throwing it, I think he just struggles to communicate. He's very smart but his issue has always been getting along with others.

There just isn't a positive of him throwing the challenge. I mean what does he gain from it?

Gets Hank out of the game. It was clear from his tribe that Hank was the target when they would go to tribal. If he's 100% confident in the vote, then why not get out who you consider your biggest threat on the tribe to flip against you before the merge occurs?

Yeah but why risk misreading the situation to get Hank out when he could guarantee his safety and watch one of Hank's potential allies get voted out. Not to mention Kirk would need allies of his own to make this plan work. You don't throw a challenge unless you know that you have the votes to get Hank out because performing badly in a challenge puts a target on your back. And I refuse to believe that Kirk made these plans to back stab Hank and the editors of the show just didn't include that storyline.

There was no need for some elaborate plan to throw the challenge to get Hank out, Hank put a target on his own back all by himself. He fricked himself from the beginning by not fully engraining himself on his tribe. He also stopped looking for the idol which made him look suspicious.

The icing on the cake is that even Hank admitted to the confessional camera that he had no idea if Kirk threw the challenge but it was his angle he was gonna push to try to save himself.

I don't get why Youtube and the other socials constantly try to suppress barstool.

The reasoning being that Kirk said he is gonna blow up Jeff's house is ridiculous. There are whole channels dedicated to poor people fighting in backyards but somehow this is against the rules?

They put so much content on YouTube, wouldn’t shock me if this was the plan all along

I don't exactly know how the revenue sharing works on Youtube but you would think that they would make more money with people being able to watch it for free on Youtube than putting it behind a paywall.

I'd bet they only get half the viewers for the remainder of the season that they would have gotten had it remained free.

Charging 10 bucks should mean you get all the episodes at once. Still slow dropping the episodes is a fricking joke. It’s insane how far behind barstool is when it comes to YouTube monetization/strategy. Guess that’s what happens when you have retards like Hank heading up their content strategy.

---

They should just post them to Twitter/X going forward. Way more traffic than YouTube.

The show was entertaining but I'm not paying $10 to finish it.

Agreed. Just post it on X and it will do numbers but I'm not sure how you monetize those numbers on X

That sucks, I was really enjoying the show. No way on earth I pay for it though.

Yep

It’s everyone’s shticks played up to 11 for content and clicks and views

I’m not interested .

Now he’s backpedaling. Said he heard all the criticism from the poors and even though he thinks it’s crazy and he’s not making any promises, he’s in discussions with X and Rumble
