We LOST $25,000! RV Unplugged Finale

well we did our best I don't even know what to say to that it was a fun day um we started off it was a long day it was a long day and we thought that your injury was recovered from Zorb soccer it did and it was not was not so we started the day at 7:30 in the morning in in the swimming pool for an advantage for like a 10minute Advantage yeah which we didn't know at the time but the advantage was they whoever won gets to go on the helicopter first cuz there was only enough room for one couple on theop which gets you the next challenge faster and we had to run from the swimming pool to the helicopter and as soon as you took off soon as I pushed off from the pool immediately knew you were not healed shooting pain up my whole thigh yeah um what you didn't see behind the scenes was while we're waiting for the helicopter we get Ace bandages I get to bandage you up compress that muscle as much as possible and then um we knew there'd be a lot of running today so I told you just adjust your gate you know run on your toes run on your heel whatever you can do to change it to make it feel better um but we knew we were going to be a little slower today yeah U my foot was not 100% healed either your toes yeah from my to toes and so I thought I was going to be the slow one today yeah but I didn't even have to push mine so thank you so I just kind of ran it ran at your pace but so we knew we weren't going to beat him on speed we had to beat him on on smarts and skills and and strategy yeah which was really good because once we got to Airstream which we landed at Blue compass and the Airstream dealership uh the helicopter dropped us off there and we go there and the clue immediately clicked for us there yeah about the 360 the air 360 cuz we're like that doesn't even make sense no there's no such thing so we went just straight inside and ask for help and yeah apparently because Jack and Shelby came in mid uh video yeah so I don't know how long they were out looking for the Airstream 360 on the lot yeah yeah I don't know but I think that's what happened to them cuz they were out there up a little we caught up and they even I think they went back in to get the first part of the video because there was there was details in in the scroll it said remember and bold so I knew we were going to have to remember stuff which I'm not good at remembering stuff and they willon they take away your phone they take away your your your stuff so you can't write anything down you can't you know type anything in your phone yeah so um we did good though and remembering stuff yeah we did we came out we remembered stuff and we got all the clues got that scroll which told us to go with Phil and Stacy and then it was kind of like a race through the city yeah you're at the mercy of I4 I4 traffic like jeez this is really a race I I could run faster to the freaking place but I didn't know where we were going only Stacy and field knew where we were going yeah and they drop us off at this SE plane place like oh my God they're going to put me in the air again I just did a helicopter I don't like flying yeah you know so I'm like God dang it yeah so but I sucked it up got in the airplane flew and then so we land and you don't like being in water you can't see no and I cannot allow my feet to touch Mossy grass seaweed stuff in there yeah and so I was like all right I'll get out and you pick back yeah so I don't have to walk the water the bank which so we did that and I was so happy to see the ebikes yeah I'm like oh we finally don't have to God we got to run anymore we were running all day we probably ran well I wasn't allowed to have my watch for most of the day but I have 7,250 steps and I was and and they took our watch for most got e372 yeah so eike we get this scroll we go over to the volleyball court we all ran right past the salt yeah cuz it said something about Whispers And so you guys think in the stands yeah so I'm like well stands people whispering in the stands maybe they hid it under the bleachers but nope so I felt like we we had a shot we were neck and neck even with your injury which was getting worse throughout the day actually because trying to keep the weight off the left leg compensating putting it all on the right leg now I have complete foot strain heel pain yeah so stepping on that foot is sending a pain through my foot not up my leg just the foot but you were a trooper dude you didn't quit the whole freaking day it hurts so bad I can't feel them but you did great and I have a cold yeah which I got first so I was like good God put me down just put me down we've had some adversity yeah through this compe with injuries stop one more stop one more stop I can get through one more stop we knew we were we were pulling into the we're pulling into the stadium and I was like this has got to be close to the end of this thing because we've been going all day it's starting to get dark it's got to be close to the end I like oh like please be close to the end you know and then when we get there Todd's like this is it this is the end this is the last win take location and we took off and we got our butt kicked instantly screeching breaks yeah the day came to an end right there for us on the first station in the stadium we didn't get to do any of the um we talked to Jack and Shelby after and kind of figured out what else they had to do what was yeah the rest through there so after the puzzle it was just basically going through finding a bleacher seat getting another ingredient going to see Rob and then he's like there's a couple ingredients missing they had to go to another place you had all the ingredients you just need a cup of ice so you had to go to CL that would been a lot of running a lot of stairs that would have really tough that would have yeah but I would have liked to known if one of us could have ran up got it and come back down maybe we both didn't have to go yeah I don't know I would have like I we'll never know I would have at least liked to have had the opp opportunity to see but we couldn't get that I mean and we know there was there's people in this season there's a lot of people in this season that had limitations handicaps handicap disabilities and one of mine is my brain injury and so we knew that I mean and I you we fought through that this entire competition we've had a couple times where we got past it and and made it through and this one we just it just couldn't my brain couldn't process it these the worst ones for you those brain teasers and so I mean I was a little frustrated yeah um I was prepared for you to throw it no I was usually that's what happens you know I knew that I knew we were beat yeah as soon as they took off after the puzzle I knew I knew yeah we were there was no catching and so from that point on it was frustrating and it was hard to keep and the instructions don't even match the item in front of you what do you do so I was um but I knew you know getting mad wasn't going to do anything I knew you know freaking out wasn't going to do anything um and we could hear the cheering Che yeah once they made it to the field once they made it to the field and so we're still standing there at the blocks so I was like yeah at this point it's time to call it DOC just call it let's just go to the field and congratulate Jack and Shelby so that's what we did and so we're happy for them yeah if anybody else was going to win it we wanted it to be Jack and Shelby cuz they're going to do some really cool stuff with the money I mean they were going to be hard to be in full yeah 100% mode healthy but man the opportunity to be here was great yeah the opportunity to tell our story yeah we've never told our story on camera before um rvm plug gave us the platform to be able to do that yeah we're so thankful for Stacy mhm she was a great coach she was awesome um we had some great teammates couldn on the red team um so now feeling Stacy you're tied one to one one to one so we'll get the tiebreaker in season three I guess and um man it was just a blast and it was awesome uh we will never do it again absolutely not never again that's the morning after how you feeling like yeah yeah yeah yeah you can barely walk can barely walk um if there had been one more day of the competition we would have had to self eliminate yeah we wouldn't even be able to do it no cuz you can barely walk I can't walk on right for it uh last night after we recorded the clip last night I I went onto YouTube yeah to look at the cube thing to see if I could see how to do the the wooden Cube thing yeah nope we'd still be standing there right now yeah even if they would have let me watch that YouTube video and follow along it still would have taken as probably 20 minutes yeah cuz I would have had to watch that thing over and over again it is so complicated not yeah and it's not anything like the instructions said no from what I saw and the video shows it starting from the opposite side of what the instruction said so we were watching it last night like uh no yeah we would have never got that no so it's um it's good that we didn't have to anymore yeah but it's a little frustrating that the entire game at the end hinged on a brain game that was for for me was impossible I would have never I would have never got it so uh yeah that sucks yeah would like I would have liked to at least had a shot at it yeah if if they would have come in and just done some you know riddles to get to the things and had let it be red the rest of the day was like the the whole rest of the day there was no Puzzles there was no the whole rest of the day was riddles and we get there and there's this puzzle like just randomly just a random puzzle didn't see how it really fit in I don't see how it fit in the day either I don't know why it wasn't just riddles and we just raced to get to to you know yeah cuz that that one thing really whoever got that is going to win yeah whoever got that first is going to win no matter what so I think that would have been a better uh ending I think it would have been more I think we would still lost we would have still lost I think we would have still lost so I'm not salty about that because no we were hurt but I would have like to have at least made it look more competitive at the end yeah so if they would have just had riddles they would have definitely outran us between the stations and that's how they would have beat us but I would rather got beat that way yeah exactly than to be just standing there at this puzzle and be like like I can't do it so I don't know maybe that uh maybe that's a lesson learned for RV un plug next next season maybe they won't have something that's going to totally just wipe one team out I doubt it potentially but anyway um just wanted to give you our thoughts this morning morning after it is part of the game but you know the there was a theme of the day there was and that had nothing to do with it no I just don't know where that puzzle fit fit in the story line of the day yeah it just seemed randomly placed so I don't know I don't know this is crazy man this is uh this is where we used to live this was the red team was over here and the blue team was over there and Leslie is now reminiscing this is H the set some of the set is is still here the sand is still here right over here is where Leslie found the the park pass out here on the benches is where we sat for eliminations of course the Valor is gone now the laundry room is gone now but um it's really cold to come back a couple days later and still see the stuff set up you can still see the RV unplugged logos on the benches this was our bench that was our bench the first bench we sat back here like one time but for the most part that's where we sat and there was a lot of emotion going on right there in the final four when we found out we were going to the finale now no more no more TIY torches path to the laundry room is cleared it's where it sat right there and uh over here over here somewhere is where Leslie found the park pass wasn't it I think some rocks have been moved they've been moved around and stuff it should be right here right over here somewhere there were more rocks over here yeah this is the general area where she found the park pass and we never ended up even having to use it no thank God we've had a few days to reflect now on how it all played out yeah your legs healing a little bit yes it's feeling better today able to walk around um but even though we lost yeah I wasn't super excited about the way we went out no I wasn't either but at least we got to do everything we got to be in the finale only two teams made it as far as we made it so yeah it was uh definitely an honor to be one of those two teams yes and um congratulations to Jack and Shel but you guys played a hell of a game and truly deserved to win absolutely deserved it yeah we uh we didn't have much for you at the end there no I wish we could have been a little more competitive gave you a little bit stronger over a run but but like we both knew even if we would have got past that puzzle the running yeah was not going to be possible and we both had to complete yeah we knew going into the actually the first right after we finished the pool yeah and took off running for the helicopter we kind of knew we were we were playing at a disadvantage huge dis I felt we were going into it with a disadvantage to begin with and that just added to it yeah but it was so fun it was fun it was a great experience once in a lifetime experience our kids going to get to watch this our parents are going to get to watch this our grandkid when she gets old enough is going to be able to watch this I wouldn't trade it for anything I think that it's uh I will look back on this and I think we will watch it again years from now and smile yeah and have good memories but if anybody ask if I would do another one or do it all over again absolutely not this was a one andone thing for us yeah been there done that good to go yeah at least we did something like that even standing here and looking at the set only a couple days later it feels like it's been a long time since since the end since the finale I mean the days just felt so long production I mean you look back from the finale to day one you're like it felt like a month ago but it really was only like 10 11 days and uh it just it just takes it out of you man where's you down physically mentally emotionally and just long hours long days um we played hurt almost the whole time yeah I hurt my foot early yeah I got a cold yeah and you got hurt in Zorb soccer and then you were still hurt on the finale I was still hurt on the finale um yeah but we overcame a lot yeah we got a lot further than I thought we would ever get we got way farther than we ever imagined we would and uh we can't thank you enough for all the support yeah sorry we couldn't win all the go team Wags it really boosts our spirit and we had a great time and I can't wait to watch it yes seeing it put together is going to be phenomenal yeah cuz you try to Envision when they're doing all these different angles and shots and say okay now do it again and I'm going to just go on the other side of you and and you're like really is that make the difference but it is going to make the difference and there's probably going to be some people who question the way we played the game but we just felt like that's the way we needed to play it and and again we accidentally accidentally play some success too lots of luck yeah which we knew we would have to have and things just kind of fell our way so we're fortunate to have been in the finale and we're glad that we got to participate in everything yes yeah all right that's a wrap that's a we're out of here [Music]
