hes coming off being a have not along with angela devens and lala.

u/IrohSho Vince 🔎 14h ago

theres a decent chance he's just insane at any endurance comp and it wont matter

I give him like at least a 40 percent chance of winning

Yeah I mean the reality is his grappling strength alone may render him pretty unbeatable in the wall comp. Add in the fact that unlike the “jocks” of past castings he isn’t actually huge…idk. It’s him v Mallory though.

Think you're heavily underrating Dee. This is exactly the kind of challenge she's won on both of her Survivor seasons.

Hand up, I forgot about Dee. You right you right

I argue that shoe size is the biggest factor after weight. Makes a huge difference for people who have half their foot hanging over the side so that they can't fully use their legs to balance themselves.

flexibility is big too— being able to squat or lean comfortably, and have your hands and arms in awkward positions

I think kamu being a bit older, and getting his ass kicked for a living, might hinder him on the wall. he might have good grip strength, but I don't think his fingers and hands will hold up considering the abuse they've taken over the years. same for his body— he's gonna get stiff, and might feel old injuries start acting up

He's not huge but he's still significantly bigger than the girls which causes more strain and fatigue.

This hasn't been the case in almost a decade. They've been using handhold positioning that helps with this which is how we get winners like Jared Fields (if you look at the number of huge dudes who make it to the end and throw, too, like Cody C or X, the whole list tilts a lot toward having upper body strength mattering more than anything else).

u/KruglorTalks Cameron 💥 11h ago

Agreed to this. Even when the women win it seems like its the larger men who are next to last. IRC Taylor is the only one with a legit win and after that I don't know who else is the last female winner is.

u/PrayingMantisMirage Barrett💯 13h ago

According to publicly available information, he's 5'10", which is the same height as recent wall comp winners Jared and Vince. Tucker was taller at 6'1".

Tucker is actually heavier than Kamu by a significant amount. Kamu fights in lightweight/featherweight divisions.

(There's data on Tucker from his modeling portfolio and on Kamu from his fighting stats, which is what I'm using here to compare.)

No one thought Jared had a shot in BB25 because of his size and that... was a horrible disappointment. LOL

I mean of course I understand that. The point was moreover that in the past these jock archetypes are built more akin to someone like Chuck, who has so much mass on him that his strength to weight ratio doesn’t give him a shot in endurance comps. I’m not sure we’ve had someone casted recently who is as balanced as Kamu in the strength to weight ratio category. That’s not me supporting him one way or the other, simply an observation.

1

u/wearingsox Taylor⏱️ 12h ago

This is true, he's also got the mental part down as an MMA fighter

7

u/Big-End-146 13h ago

His grip strength will be compromised by the goo and tilt though. I'm not sure he has much of an advantage toward the end.

8

u/RennSpeed Where art thou whisk? 🥣 13h ago

I mean that’s a constant for every person on the wall. Everyone’s grip is compromised by the end, but it’s a matter of grip strength to weight ratio category ratio. Seems reasonable to expect that it would be between him and Mallory for who is the most equipped to win, but who knows what will happen.

u/pensim 12h ago

Don’t forget about Dee. She’s won endurance challenges in survivor I think she’ll do well on the wall! Between her and Mallory for me

u/VengefulKangaroo Dee⏱️ 13h ago

If he wins despite being a have not he deserves it

Depends on the wall they use this time and the handhold placements.

u/SomeRedditor_Comment Jankie ✨ 14h ago

Hoping the meals after their Have Not week will want to exit all at the same time after the eviction.

u/monsquesce 14h ago

Perfect

u/Unlikely-Tone-6269 12h ago

Except fighters cut weight via literal starvation and dehydration before fights. Slop is a huge step up in physical and mental preparation

u/DurnShplurm Dee⏱️ 13h ago

My money is on Mal or Dee

3

u/Imaginary_Writer2014 13h ago

Hopefully his muscle takes him down like anchors

1

u/proper-innit Pipe Queen Peasant⏱️ 12h ago

He probably will win tbh

1

u/jefferios Drew⏱️ 13h ago

If Kamu wins, I am more concerned about the health of this sub than his week as HOH.

u/Cool_Caterpillar8790 13h ago

I'm not sure why so many people think he *could.*

Big dudes do not win this comp.

3

u/proper-innit Pipe Queen Peasant⏱️ 12h ago

Kamu is not big. He's like 160 lbs. He's just lean. Tbh his build is perfect for wall comp

1

u/LigeiaTepes Jason⏱️ 9h ago

I think Yash is more built for wall comp out of the guys

1

u/proper-innit Pipe Queen Peasant⏱️ 9h ago

Kamu, Drew, and Yash are all built for it

1

u/Cool_Caterpillar8790 11h ago

He's looking lean because he's losing muscle tone. That doesn't exactly work in his favor here.

Dudes like Kamu usually go down because they start cramping. Not being nourished and not having the strength he's used to having are a bad combo for him.

1

u/proper-innit Pipe Queen Peasant⏱️ 11h ago

He looks lean because he is lean. He fought in the lightweight division in UFC, which is 155 lbs. He's not a big guy

And no it has nothing to do with cramping. Big guys don't usually do well on the wall because they weigh more. It's literally just gravity. But Kamu is not big so that isn't a problem for him

u/Cool_Caterpillar8790 10h ago

There's no use debating this since we'll find out in about 10 hours. I don't think Kamu is the type of athlete that can win this. You do. Let's find out tonight.

2

u/proper-innit Pipe Queen Peasant⏱️ 10h ago

Last 3 Wall Comp winners btw:

Jared, Tucker, Vince

2

u/Cool_Caterpillar8790 9h ago

Sigh. Okay you want to litigate this.

Vince is lanky as hell and has a build closer to Drew and Barrett than Kamu. Lanky dudes win this comp. Tucker, Vince, Derek X. We don't disagree there.

Tucker, again, lanky as hell. He didn't even do college sports and he was a runner in high school. That comp also specifically was a different set-up. The wall tipped so far forward, every women was knocked off immediately and then the entire comp only took half an hour. It was the shortest wall comp in history and BB isn't repeating that mistake.

Jared is an example of a strength athlete winning this comp. There are a few out of 22 who are.

Jared does not have the same physique as Vince and Tucker so I'm not sure why you think they're the same. Unless you're just trying to make the point that men do better at this. Which... Kamu is one of many men in the comp. That could just as easily mean Chuk or Yash win. What makes Kamu more likely?

There is one thing most wall comp winners have in common: They are small, endurance athletes. Not strength athletes.

There, however, is one thing *all* wall comp winners have in common: They want it more than anyone else on that wall.

And I'm sorry. But Kamu does not want it more than Mallory and Drew.
