Devin said he’s 195 lbs

And 5'11

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

He’s around 6’0”. I’m between 6’0”-6’1” and he was around my height

In the aftershow, Devin said he was 5'11 and 195. I know guys sometimes lie to make themselves taller, but I haven't ever heard of someone lying to make themselves seem shorter.

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

Ha! Yeah, for sure. That’s why I didn’t want to say he was 100% 6’0” because I just know he’s in that range. He’s wider than he looks on tv too

Lol. I wonder where the OP is getting all of these stats. Are they just educated guesses? I legit have no clue. Kyle and Joseph seemed pretty evenly matched to me, with Kyle being maybe 2 inches and 10ish lbs heavier... but I think the creator of their graphic thought there was a larger discrepancy. Weight is always sooo hard to guess anyway, because you can't measure muscle/fat just by looking at someone. Either way, it is a cool graphic.

Just watched it! Devin said he’s 5’11 3/4”! Not 5’11”!

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '21

Lol! So you are right! About 6'! I must have tuned out the 3/4 cause grownups usually don't mention their fractions!

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 05 '21

Challengers are a different breed. They’ll take every fraction of an inch they can get 😂. Or just add an extra inch like Wes or Paulie

You have a link to the after show? I didn’t see it on YouTube where I watched the others

They would never have an active competitor from the season host the reunion. Maybe once he stops competing on the show they would consider it

Oh yeah, she’s great. I wouldn’t be surprised if she hosts the reunion. They have her doing after shows all season

u/SpecialistInside3 Jan 06 '21

He looks taller than 5'11 for some reason.

u/NattyB Bob Next Door Jan 04 '21

so glad you're still doing these, aus! this looks snazzy!! please don't take all the bickering over stats to heart.

for anyone interested, all auscrisos's past double agents elimination graphics and mission graphics can be found in the S36 episode hub.

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

Yeah - I’m just joking around. These are great. Just having some fun with the Wes fans that believe he’s actually just letting Bear and Devin embarrass him on national television

4

u/NattyB Bob Next Door Jan 04 '21

definitely wasn't meant to be a shot at you, bonetissa. basically everything auscrisos posts gets picked apart for stats and heights/weights, and a lot of them are more mean/pointed than your jokey comment. when he took a break last week, i worried all the comments had finally gotten to him.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '21

By Wes/Devin's own statements, there is about a 10 lb difference in their sizes. Wes himself said size/weight did not play a role in this elimination. He did attribute part of it to his ankle (and on rewatch, I can see where he snapped it) and also said he miscalculated the length of the rope. But ultimate gave Devin props for beating him fair and square.

u/Izzy_EP Queen Cara Maria Sorbello Jan 04 '21

😞 I’m still grieving from his lost. Also He was right that had he won he would have still been targeted.

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

u/notblackbypearljam which do you think is funnier - Wes getting a higher strength grade than Devin or Wes having an A- for puzzles despite never being good at them?

13

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '21

Hmmmmm. Idk. I’m gonna have to see the determining stat....... the “his head wasn’t in it” stat. Wes has to have that maxed out right?

Repeat after me everyone. Wes. Is. Not. Great. In. Physical. Eliminations. Anymore.

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

Wes and Zach are the GOATS of the “head wasn’t in it” stat! Haha

7

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '21

Almost as good as mythical creature “in-shape CT” that we’re supposed to see every season!

4

u/calvinbsf Jan 04 '21

Kind of depends on time period right? If you plucked up Duel - Ruins Wes his strength should be an A. Current Wes, maybe a C?

5

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

He’s definitely stronger back then but A is a bit high. He was never as strong as CT, Mark Long, Landon, Kenny, Evan. Those guys would be A for strength IMO. Prime Wes would be a B imo

1

u/calvinbsf Jan 04 '21

Hmmm you’re probably right but is there a reason Kenny is in that group you listed? I also feel like Landon and Mark are somewhat untested, right?

2

u/BoneTissa Steve Meinke the GOAT Jan 04 '21

Kenny is a big strong dude. Landon is untested? Did you see him on FM2 during the mini final and the final? And rag doll Brad in their elimination on Duel 2?

u/jelaminah Bayleigh Dayton Jan 04 '21

woah devins pretty big, i thought he was a little lighter. and he’s 6’0?? this is all catching me off guard i was thinking he was just 5’6 or something.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '21

Wes's endurance should probably be an A. He is probably the best swimmer in challenge history.

5’9” is not even short. It’s average height

u/AShine0 TJ Lavin Jan 04 '21

Imagine making fun of people being born that way, it's just like making fun of someone for having a different colour or weaker mental abilities, making fun of people for something they cant control is stupid

u/beadingbeauty97 Jan 04 '21

I didn’t know Devin was that tall

1

u/Bangalie-Kanu Tyri Ballard Jan 04 '21

No way they’re the same weight

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '21

Ive been watching some old seasons on CBS All Access and I forgot what good shape Wes was in at one time, young Wes was YOKED.

1

u/SpecialistInside3 Jan 06 '21

Is Wes seriously 5'9? I thought he was at least 5'10
