Who is The Goat in Episode 1?
Tayshia Adams is named The GOAT in Season 1, Episode 1
Now that all of the reality stars have entered the manor, it’s time for host Daniel Tosh to get this thing started. The first challenge seems simple: the contestants must balance a coconut on a plank on a disc while standing with one foot on a post. Naturally, many of the players began dropping like flies. Teck was down first, which I’m sure was a shot to his ego after being a reality TV vet for 23 years. Jill was out next, followed by Da’Vonne. Reza dropped his fruit, and Joey fell shortly after due to his “uneven ass cheek.” A few others fell after, and eventually, it all came down to Wendell, Justin, and Tayshia. Since Wendell won Survivor and let the audience know 37 times throughout the episode, he decided to throw the challenge to avoid having a target on his back. After 20 minutes, both remaining players started swaying, buckling, and shaking; however, Justin fell, making Tayshia this episode’s GOAT.
The elimination challenge details…
After the main challenge, the cast has to participate in an elimination challenge. Tayshia split the cast down the middle, making two teams. She put Justin, Teck, Da’Vonne, CJ, Joe, and Reza on her team (purple) and the remaining players on the other (orange). She said her strategy was to mix some of the strong players with the weaker players. But will it work?
For the challenge, the teams had 20 minutes to build a boat. Once built, they had to take it across the pool with half of their bodies on the boat. After they grabbed the keys from the other side of the pool and brought them back to their waiting teammate at the chest, their team would win.
After both teams built their boat, they jumped in the water and made their way across the pool. The orange team was in the lead and returned to the other side first. Wendell passed the keys off to Jill, who opened her chest first and snagged the victory for her team. However, after Reza called the orange team out for making a raft that did NOT hold 50% of their bodies, Tosh told the cast they were disqualified from the challenge. What does that mean? Team purple takes home the win! “HELL YEAH,” Da’Vonne said.
Who went home in The Goat Episode 1?
Joey Sasso was the first contestant eliminated in The GOAT Season1, Episode 1
Since the orange team lost, they had to decide which players in their group should be up for elimination. Joey thought the weaker players should be nominated, while Joe felt the stronger players would be a better option. Other players felt that way, too, and Da’Vonne campaigned her hardest to get Joey out of there. Tayshia, on the other hand, was still determining who she wanted to vote for. She started developing a soft spot for Joey and didn’t know whether she wanted to vote him out.
After the eligible players cast their votes to evict, Tosh read them allowed. After reciting them one by one, the vote came down to a tie, with seven for Joey and seven for Jason. Consequently, the tie-breaking vote would be cast by The GOAT — Tayshia. Both players on the block plead their case before she made her decision, with Chef Jason saying he makes a “mean bowl of tater salad.”
But in the end, Tayshia chose to send Joey home. What a statement! Don’t get too comfortable in Goat Manor.
