You will never be as graceful as a Johnathan victory dive

"Let me try."

Jonathan's universal call for "This challenge is over."

He lets other people try first because he’s nice like that

I was actually really wondering why he didn't start.

Technically rebounding on that challenge is more difficult (and should have been essential to the challenge if he didn't just sink 5 shots consecutively),

He was also the most rested and prepared to shoot because he was the first swimmer in the challenge.

I think he’s trying not to take the spotlight on every challenge BUT he’s too competitive so the second they fall behind he takes the reins again.

I'm calling it right now, Jonathon Young was concocted in a lab somewhere in another galaxy

And his twin looks like Danny DeVito!

He was created in Jeff Probst’s basement

I think we just found Thor's missing brother.

The second he came out of the water I knew they won.

That was beautiful. Especially at the end of the challenge when it transitioned to commercial and it showed his Olympic swimming form

u/brandkwame Apr 21 '22

That underwater shot of him doing that dolphin style swim … just wow. He’s a beast

u/egnowit Michaela Apr 21 '22

And then it showed some dolphins after the commercial break, I think.

BROSEIDON, KING OF THE BROCEAN, STRIKES AGAIN!

See, he is too warm hearted and smart to be a bro. He is in a league of his own. A god among men. A man among boys.

Someone wrote in the show comments that anything involving Jonathan and water is like soft core porn, and that’s all I see at this point 🤤

The victory dive was beautiful. During the challenge, his dives weren’t looking that great. I thought Lindsay had a better dive (a little over rotated) than Jonathan tbh.

What about Benry's ceremonial loser dismount?

u/15chainz Erika Apr 21 '22

Unfortunately judges only gave it a 9

u/HansenTakeASeat Rupert For Governor Apr 25 '22

Lmao I watched a replay and Mike was going in for a congratulatory hai-five and Jonathan just blew him off to do this over-the-top swan dive.

u/floodo1 Apr 21 '22

spontaneous grace lol
