I wonder why no one from the Challenge this time.   Last season there were 3 including the 2 co winners.   I guess it might have been filmed around the time 5he Challenge 40 was filming.  Or maybe Challenge alumni are just too good at the challenges.  CT, especially, was responsible for increasing the prize money by winning.  In the last big challenge, they just left him to take care of things while they casually moved through the course.

I'm excited to see Boston Rob and Britney Haynes.   Rob because he's a great strategist/player and Britney because she is snarky and great in confessionals.  I've also seen Danielle on BB.   But I've not even heard of most of the others.   I know people hate Tom Sandoval for cheating on someone, but that's about all.  Mountbatten is apparently King Charles' second cousin.  

I will hate it if Rob is voted off early because he is just fun to watch.  Everyone will suspect he's a traitor just because of his reputation.  He will have the advantage of seeing how poorly Dan played so if nothing else, he can just memorize Dan's game and then do the exact opposite.

Boston Rob could run into the same problem as Johnny Bananas if he is not a Traitor.  He might be murdered first.

I hope that Bob the Drag Queen lasts longer than Peppermint did. I loved their season of Drag Race.

Agree.  They are trying to do that with the GOAT, but it just comes across as a low r3nt House of Villains

Rob Cesternino did a podcast yesterday about the cast announcement.  After going through the cast, the participants brought up the lack of Challenge contestants.  They couldn't understand it either.  There was some speculation that Johnny Bananas may come back mid-season ala Kate Chastain in season 2. 

I wasn't paying close attention, but they did remind me that Danielle Reyes was pretty angry with Britney Haynes during/after Big Brother:  Reindeer Games.   IIRC, Britney had to choose someone to take a challenge and she chose Danielle.  Danielle was mad when she was chosen and even madder when she lost and had to leave the game.   So that may bring some drama.  

Otherwise, I did learn a bit more about the ones I'd never heard of.  For example, Sam Asghari's claim to fame is that he was married to Britney Spears for five minutes.  Can't get much more famous than that.

Here's hoping!

I thought about that, too. It'll be interesting to see if Danielle is still holding onto that. She's pretty petty, so she probably is.

My expectation is that Boston Rob is the first murder.  And that Bob Harper will be clueless.  It'll be great to see him at the breakfast table with all those pastries!

[Irlandesa]

I think it'll depend on how much time the contestants have together before the game begins.  I haven't really seen either in action except I do know that Boston Rob has done well on Survivor, The Amazing Race and the recent Deal or No Deal: Some Tropical Island (I don't remember the actual title.) He's got a strong social game. Or sales game.

The GOAT is "low rent" simply because the show ADMITS that it's a parody and even the host doesn't take himself seriously.

Alan: "Tom Sandoval, for the first time ever, you are a Faithful."

[oftentimes]

I just read (on TMZ) that Sam Asghari is under a 'gag' order, and not allowed to talk about Britney on the show at all.

Each episode of The GOAT gets worse.

Same applies to House of Villains IMO. House of Villains still gave a little but more effort.

For me, it's just that the pot stirrers and shit starters are largely gone. House of Villains was nothing but pot stirrers and shit starters so they weren't gonna run out of those.

I prefer that create and feed the tension on the show. Season 2 of The Traitors was great for that. CT decided to come in like a sniper at the end and vote MJ off.

In season 3, Rob is good at creating tension if not anything else. I don't know enough about the season 3 cast to have any judgments but I've heard good things.

[Soapy Goddess]

For those of us who enjoy a good parody, watching the GOAT and HofV is like watching Mary Hartman. All in good fun, and no one is getting an Oscar.

I think Bob will be competing against Robyn Dixon for the most clueless.

I expected Rob to be out first on Deal or No Deal Island 

Spoiler

But he lasted until the finale.

He is great at bringing drama and strategizing. I am happy to see him on this show. It seems the ultimate test of his abilities!

I would have preferred to see Christine from Selling Sunset over Crishelle......

[RoseAllDay]

I really wish the US version were more like UK and Aus where it wasn’t so top heavy with reality stars. I enjoy watching “ordinary” people navigate this show more than people who already have a clue as to how to play games like this.

YMMV.
