  • 288: THE FINALE: Our Honest Debrief (Shawn Won!)
    2025/11/26
    We made it to the FINALE- and nothing could’ve prepared us for what this last episode threw at us. At this point, we were exhausted, worn down, and hanging on by whatever grit we had left. The DS pushed us into the most intense test of the entire course: capture, interrogation, zero sleep, and moments that forced us to stay locked in when our minds wanted to tap out. We are so proud of each other walking into that final challenge together and we’re even more grateful you’ve been watching along with us. This finale was raw, surreal, and honestly one of the hardest things we’ve ever done. Can’t wait to hear what you think and wrap up this wild journey with you. Love, Shawn & Andrew From Shawn: Self doubt has creeped in over the years… after retirement, a failed comeback, and 3 kids. I wondered if I could. I feared I couldn’t. But dang….. it sure feels good knowing I did! I finished! It hurt. I learned a lot. I healed a lot. I’m better for it. Thank you to the DS for pushing me. You taught me so much! Getting those smiles and hugs at the end was the greatest reward! Thank you for being the best coaches ever. And to Gia… I’m so fricken proud of you! You pushed so hard and never gave up!

  • 287: episode 8: our hardest day on the show (so far)
    2025/11/20
    Welcome to our second episode of the week to catch up with EPISODE 8! Episode 8 pushed us to another level. After an already emotional week, this episode forced us to dig deep, confront our breaking points, and show a level of vulnerability we hadn’t yet let surface. The DS stripped away anything we were still hiding, and what came out were some of the rawest, most honest moments we’ve had on the course. Tough, humbling, and a turning point in the whole experience. Let us know what you thought about this episode, and we’ll see you for the final time.... FOR FINALE EPISODE!!!!!!!

  • Episode 7: The Rawest Moment of the Season
    2025/11/17
    Welcome to today’s BONUS episode! We’re doing two reactions this week so we’re all caught up for the finale next week!! In Episode 7, we were hit hard. Shawn had a very real conversation with the DS about her perfectionism and what it means to keep her emotions in check. Then came the letters… and yep, they turned us into full on blubbery messes. It was emotional in the best way- probably the most meaningful challenge so far. Let us know what you thought about this episode, and we’ll see you again on Wednesday for EPISODE 8!

  • 285 | There was a shift in Episode 5: Special Forces
    2025/11/12
    We’re going back to talk about Episode 5! Last week we accidentally went ahead so let's take it back! Dang, this one was tough. We showed up to Day 5 knowing things were about to shift when the DS told anyone who had doubts to hand in their armband and leave. We saw a side of them we hadn’t seen before.We ran the brutal heat race, faced the backward dive, and left that episode more battered than we expected. We’re so grateful to have been a part of this show and can’t wait for you guys to watch how it all unfolds!
