- Hello and welcome back to The Thanksgiving Games.
- The competition with events designed
around going home for Thanksgiving.
- I'm Left Anthony.
- And I'm Just Val.
Today we're following Raphael Chestang.
- [Anthony] This is a competitor out of Chicago
who I had a lot of hope for at the start of the season,
but things really fell apart about half way through.
- Absolutely, at his sister's birthday party
where he got her cash.
Ooh, let's get this underway.
- [Anthony] Raphael's gonna wanna take control early
here in this next round. - Hello?
- [Val] Yeah, absolutely.
- Raphy!
- Hug comin' up.
(laughs)
- Good form, good form.
That was great.
- It's good to see you!
- You too. You look good!
- You lookin' good, lookin' sharp.
- That's a good hug for dad, but what about brother-in-law?
- Ooh. - Oh, there he is!
- Yes, you wanna show him,
that you can put him in his place.
- Absolutely. Raphael's not a big guy, but he's so fast.
- He's so small, but yes, so fast.
- Yeah and hugging's all in the feet.
- It's a bit like a mouse that can run on water.
- Right.
- What's up, cuz?
- Hey, how ya doin'?
- Good, this my new girlfriend.
- Ooh, cousin's new girlfriend?
- What? - Hi.
- No way.
Hey, oh!
- [Anthony] See, I like that move.
- [Val] I like that too.
- You don't know each other yet,
so you don't wanna be
too familiar. - No, Exactly!
- You'll freak her out.
- Not too creepy.
- Hey, get back on over here.
- Oh, back to brother-in-law.
- Come on, yeah.
- Cousin's new girlfriend.
Brother-in-law.
Cousin's new girlfriend!
Brother-in-law!
Cousin's new girlfriend!
- That's great, that's great!
That's terrific. - That was a round!
- That's terrific. - That was a round.
- Alright, come on in here.
- Alright.
- That was a very strong first round.
Let's see how he does at dinner.
(bass music)
- So when was the last time you went to church?
- Ooh, now it's time for the religious guilt trip event.
- Oh man, I haven't been in years.
- Excuse me? - Oh! What is he thinking?
- [Anthony] Raphael's gotta focus
if he wants to get through this round.
- Yeah, he's talking to his grandma.
- She's one of the church mothers.
- He's gotta remember that.
- Because, church, isn't a building,
it's with me all the time.
(crowd cheers)
- Great job taking out grandma.
- [Anthony] I liked that recovery,
but that was definitely an error.
- [Val] Yeah.
- So when you movin' back home?
- Well I have a job, I can't just
move back home for what I do.
- [Val] Oh, it's getting dicey.
- It's a mediocre career at best.
- Yeah, honestly.
- Oprah got famous in Chicago.
You can do what she did.
- So I should just be Oprah.
Huh, why didn't I thinka dat shit?
Oh, 'cause it's dumb as hell!
- [Val] Wow! - [Anthony] Unbelievable.
- Unbelieve...
You know what?
He's gonna spend time in the penalty box for that.
- [Anthony] Raphael falling way behind now.
- Yeah and the crew event is so crucial, Left,
I mean if he has a prayer of bouncing back,
it's gonna be in this next event.
- [Raphael's Mom] Hey Raphy!
Raphy, come and talk to your mom.
(crowd chants)
- This is exciting.
- Here we go.
This is it, final stretch.
- Boy, you still making those YouTube videos?
- She should know the answer to this question,
but he should have somethin' for her.
- Yeah, yeah I am.
- Well where can I find them at?
- [Anthony] It's a classic offense from mom.
- Yeah, you should have, this is what you trained for.
A mom asking about how to work YouTube.
- YouTube?
You just said it.
- So, if I were to take my phone and type in YouTube,
you'll come up?
- Oh, quick recovery? - That's not how this works!
How do you not know how anything works?
- Wait wait wait wait wait,
babe, come back here. - [Raphael] My God!
I came back for this.
- Oh! - Oh my goodness.
That is brutal, that's gonna be a forfeit
for Raphael right there. - Yeah.
You know, you gotta see when it's your mom
and anything on the internet...
- Anticipate, anticipate, - It's not gonna work.
- anticipate. - Yeah.
- We wanna thank all of you for watching.
For Just Val, I'm Left Anthony.
- Yeah, we'll see you, at Christmas.
Does anyone ever win this?
- No no no.
