285 | There was a shift in Episode 5: Special Forces

from Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew · host Shawn Johnson + Andrew East

We’re going back to talk about Episode 5! Last week we accidentally went ahead so let's take it back! Dang, this one was tough. We showed up to Day 5 knowing things were about to shift when the DS told anyone who had doubts to hand in their armband and leave. We saw a side of them we hadn’t seen before.We ran the brutal heat race, faced the backward dive, and left that episode more battered than we expected. We’re so grateful to have been a part of this show and can’t wait for you guys to watch how it all unfolds!
