14 reality superstars move into GOAT Manor to face off in a brand new, hilarious competition show, hosted by Daniel Tosh. They will compete in over 20 challenges, earning and breaking one another's trust as they battle it out for $200k…and the title of Greatest Of All Time.

Just finished the first three episodes. This show is just like House of Villains but more messy. I love it! 😂

[Soapy Goddess]

Tuned in for Grocery Store Joe and stayed for all three episodes. I'm enjoying the comedy (especially reality references) of Daniel Tosh too!

Just on episode 2.   Tayshia is an idiot.

When she went to go tell (Joe???) that he was a target, I didn't expect his response back to Tayshia to be "it's you or me" because I didn't know Tayshia was an option for people until he said that. I don't believe they showed people talking about voting for her.

I would love to know if her name was being floated before then or did Joe work flip votes to her. Obviously, she ruined her own game with the girls' alliance. Other than that, were all the guys planning on voting for her anyway?

Just watched the first three episodes and so far, this has been a fun, silly and frivolous show.  I like it when the show itself is in on the joke and doesn't take itself too seriously.

I was pleasantly surprised that I actually knew most of the contestants, including those from lesser known reality shows (like CJ from Fboy Island).  I was so excited to see Alyssa Edwards on this.  It's always nice to see the Drag Race girls branch out to other reality shows that are not connected to RuPaul.  And boy did she bring the drama!  Though Justin's last comment to Kristen was a low blow.

I think Da'Vonne's mistake in the third episode is assuming she's the strongest strategic player because of her resume.  Clearly Wendall is just as (if not more) strategic as evidenced by his resume (what's the "survivor" counter at now? Lol).  But there are others, like Jason, who are actually pretty strategic but are unassuming - which is a dangerous combination. Jason's plan of feeding everyone good food is an excellent strategy in itself and he single-handedly convinced Tayshia to change her vote to keep him.  I think Jason may go deep in this game.

I am also really enjoying it. I only gave it a chance because I do love Alyssa Edwards, and Justin is certainly bringing it! I knew Tayshia and CJ and Wendall, but most of the rest were blurs, but it doesn't matter as it is such a funny, well-paced show. I wish they'd put the entire season up. It's very addictive viewing.

I couldn't make out what Justin said, though I think I got the gist of it (because Kristen's from a show I don't watch).  

I have seen Wendell not only on Survivor (loved him on his first season, was a little over him on the second which was basically him and Michele pouting because they were exes stuck there together, liked him on some home show where a woman helps people organize their clutter and then he builds some furniture for them?).  Enjoying him and his friendship with the guys here.

I thought new episodes dropped on Wednesdays, so where's #4?

I believe they drop on Thursdays. Didn't the first batch drop last week Thursday?

If it's Thursdays, it may be released at midnight eastern time.

The first three episodes were good. I found the 4th episode kinda boring.

[MsJamieDornan]

The host is awful.

[DEL901]

Agree. Joel McHale of Houseof Villains is much better.

Daniel Tosh had a pretty major controversy over a decade ago that tanked his career.  This show is probably the best gig he's had in years.

Well, based on this show, he isn’t getting another gig any time soon.  He is terrible, even without the crap he said previously.  

[violet and green]

I have significantly lost interest after that eviction.

[snarts]

Sad to see Teck Money leave. While I'm enjoying the show, not seeing anyone worth rooting for remaining in the house. 

Did Grocery Joe reference a wife?

He married Serena, the woman he met on his second stint on Bachelor in Paradise.  

[Writing Wrongs]

Da'Vonne will probably win. She seems to be the only one who knows how to play the game.

[GOATmePLZ]

 Is this unscripted..? I believe it is but I say that bc I can not believe how some of the contestants are. One thing is the whole time they've talked about other people behind their backs bc it's a competition how do you strategies if you can't talk about the level of their skills? Talking about S1:E8 and the not-so-bright and snobby blonde. Half these people need to understand their place by that I mean it's not a serious show be ready to be made fun of and 🤬 said about you. Maybe get out of the reality TV business if you can not handle it. Love Ü Tosh🤐

[AntFTW]

Joe’s been playing stupid all season. Watch him beast through the final and win it all. 😂

What I’ve been finding kind of funny is that they never leave the house. All of the challenges and eliminations occur in the backyard of the house.

[LakeGal]

I just watched the finale.  Surprising that Joe actually won the final challenge.  Of course all the eliminated contestants vote for the winner.  They always do that.  I think a lot of them were voting with hurt feelings.  DaVonne thought she was the best and should be the GOAT.  She was convincing everyone that she was the greatest so the person that took her out was the hero.  I have never liked DaVonne.  I was just happy she could not win .  I was surprised that Jason never got any votes.  This was a silly show.  

[AntFTW]

Very anticlimactic ending.

[violet and green]

I lost interest after Justin left. Was so pleased when someone finally got Davonne out. So that obvious move was worth 200k?! I would have voted for Joe.

[Soapy Goddess]

Do we know who gave Joe his only vote?

Forgot to add: Shut up, Tayshia. It's a freaking game you idiot!

[peachmangosteen]

I thought Joe was kinda horrible with his arguments so I wasn't surprised he didn't win. He probably could have easily gotten Tayshia but he reacted so very strangely to her. Just like he did back when she told him he was going to be voted out. He made some very strange decisions when it came to her.

Jason was horrible with his final talks. Pretending like you feel bad for what you did while also not really owning up to any game moves is a surefire way to lose.

I hope we find out who voted for Joe. It annoyed me they didn't reveal that.

I was very surprised that Jason did so poorly.  By the end I was rooting for Joe just because he was such a good sport being teased by Tosh all the time, plus playing along in interviews (like the end when the camera was backing away from him).  Paola was an okay winner.  I thought CJ was very sweet in her thumbs up at the end of their interview--did not watch her show but would love to see her on something like The Challenge.  Now CJ, who could have been bitter about being frozen out by the girls and about Pao taking her advice about Da'vonne's strength just a little too late for CJ's own game, was a lesson in how to be gracious.

Jill must not be much of a Survivor watcher--never, ever boast that you are good at puzzles!  (even in an interview!)

She was frozen out because she decided to play with the men instead. I had been liking her until then but she became what I figured she'd be initially after that. Speaking of her, she looked a mess in the finale lol.

Has anyone been able to find out who voted for Joe?
