The new show is wild. It's a little faster. The set is amazing. The set is, we have fire now, water. So when we knock you guys off, the contestants. They actually go into fire and get burned up, and we sacrafice. Which is kind of cool! Yes, no. I was thinking that would be cool, but we do knock them off into water. So it's kind of like a double slap in the face. You just didn't lose. Now we dunked you in water. Yes you know, get out of that and your in spandex, and that's just embarrassing for anybody.
