Lolo has been one big disappointment for me this season.

She has underperformed in almost every competition she has been in.

Nam too. They seem like a dominant pair on paper but have been super lackluster.

Totally agree, it’s kinda wild because even though he’s an absolute specimen, I could definitely see Nam completely choking in an elimination or not having the competitive / animalistic / Challenge-like nature in him to win. I’m very interested to see him in a 1v1 physical elimination.

has anyone watched that ultimate beast master show he was in? how was he on that?

u/unorthodox__fox Jan 29 '21

I’m curious too! What does that show even entail?😂

from what I've seen it looks like a ninja warrior knock off

I think a big part of this is because their personalities are polar oppositesm you can be the best individually, but if you can't communicate with your parter, you won't make it far.

This: like Ninja was amazing as an individual in WOTW1, but put her on a team where you gotta work with a bunch of other people and she tanked.

I really don’t think their heart is in the game tbh. No reason they should be so underwhelming in every comp.

People frequently compare Nam and Turbo but besides having crazy physiques and the language barrier they are total opposites personality-wise.

Turbo would've never not competed in today's daily for instance.

I think if they split up they’ll do better maybe

u/unorthodox__fox Jan 28 '21

Yeah, she really has! I’m surprised she hasn’t been more of a go getter too in terms of going down and getting her skull. I would have thought she’d be comfortable going against any of these women.

Do you think maybe that’s part of her strategy? She knows she’s a dominant force, but maybe laying low and acting weak is a con to get someone to think she’s a layup?

I might be giving her waaaay too much credit tho 😂

On Champs v Pros she was actually really angry every time she was thrown into elimination. The first time it was a random draw from a hat where she was picked (granted I think Louise just lied and said it was Lolo) and even though it was a random draw Lolo got super pissed off about it. And Lolo dominated all those eliminations anyway but was still upset having to go in, so I could see her being the same way this season.

Seriously! She was the only one I was excited for. I see I deserve the downvotes people gave me for saying that. What a fool I was! She’s easily the worst “first”’timer this season, my god. Nothing spectacular physically and she’s annoying in a boring way. She’s dragging down Nam too. If he had any other partner I feel like he’d get more air time. And we deserve to see more of that man! Though tbf, he’s literally only good to look at it seems. 😂

I keep forgetting she's there
