Dante rips fans mocking the cast's brutal challenge showing
Dante (@DanteTheDon) says people are calling them out for looking terrible in a challenge, says the edit didn't show how grueling it actually was.
Dante 🇺🇸@DanteTheDonToo many people have come up to me today commenting on the competition in last nights episode of Surviving, and they all can’t believe how bad we were at it. Just had another lady basically call us a bunch of pussies. And I wanna scream. That shit was fucking impossible. And as great as the production has been, they did us no justice whatsoever showing just how long that shit went on and how frustrating it was. That shit felt like it lasted 2 hours. Esp the last two statues. Felt impossible. Wrists were fucking fried after.
