Partnering with Parvati is actually not really a risk at all. The thing about Parv is that as long as you're her initial ally she gravitates to, she's fiercely loyal to you. She never made a single move against Candice or Adam, against Cirie or Amanda, against Russell (unless you count her trying to position herself better within the relationship with the double idol thing I guess) or Danielle, against Rob, even against Dan on the Traitors. She really likes having a genuine partner to bounce things off throughout the game. I wouldn't be worried if I was David.
It was such a great episode. Love Parvati and David working together so much! This cast came to play and I am ready to see them do their thing. This could also be a great sign for Parvati and David when they' inevitably work together in Survivor Australia! 🥰
18:40 Don't take Lete's WWE experience too seriously. She was only in training and left in under a year due to, in her own words, being too much of a wimp.
It sounded like he was a last second replacement for somebody and he got to the island late as a result. Wouldn’t be surprised if the big entrance was a demand though, so I think it all worked out well together!
Yes, i noticed TWL music tones in S1 and they were back in this first episode of S2 as well. There's also sounds from Survivor South Africa and the music that plays when they are all on their way to the Banker's Temple, sounds like its from the movie Commando.
In Rob's defense. He is not saying it was a bad NOTE. She was hitting the HIGH notes. He is just saying she does her best singing when she is hitting ALL the notes. And in Traitors she did NOT hit all the notes.
On the Traitors Parvati seemed one/high noted because Dan as her partner made a lot of mistakes. She advised against killing Bernie, buuuut Dan blew it. Parvati is always more astute and more nuanced than given credit.
OMG I love this show! That’s said I felt the pacing of the pyramid game was off. Still excited for the season though. The characters are A tier. I’d even say better than Survivor if all contestants are taken into consideration.
Heidi Klum was my first thought for what it’s worth. She just made her announcement as a return to Project Runway. Thanks for a great rundown DONDI team, so fun.
It is so cute that David and Parv have gotten their own Aron. I know David is married, and Parv was most recently in a relationship with a woman, but Parv and David as a couple is my own personal fan fiction.
FYI, Mae Martin came out as non-binary in 2021 and uses they/them pronouns ✌️ I really like the Parvati/David platonic relationship. Not a showmance, but I don’t know what the word is.
Production seems a bit confused by their own format. At the end of the episode, Joe said the banker was disappointed. Shouldnt the banker be happy that a bad deal was made and only $1 was added to final case? Maybe the banker wants a good competition but I still find the format clunky.
The banker is seeking the ultimate competitor or whatever, so disappointed at the poor showing. It's trash talk not feeling sorry for them getting low money.
That's a different meaning. Luke was using a variation of the saying "been through the wringer." I'm pretty sure Rob was (sort of) correct in thinking it comes from old fashioned washing tubs that have the rolling wringers, which squeeze the water out.
Did I understand correctly that the only way to win this challenge was for the red team to steal a high enough dollar case. Like that was the game, right?
I have tried again to watch the premier episode of this show and I just don’t get it. It doesn’t entertain me at all. I guess I need to watch Rob’s video about the game because I don’t get the rules or method or the game.
@@chappell8517I mean, do what you want. But I’ve only heard you in three things, the HvV recap/review, Dondi preview, and this. And in 2/3 you’ve spread the rumor started by Sandra that Parvati would be dumb enough to read JT’s letter aloud in front of the heroes (very strange to bring up in a Dondi preview). And in all, you’ve made a point to claim she’s a mean girl. Even though here David is actually the one that’s more eager to speak down on the newbies (see e.g. the first challenge). You come off as easily fooled by fake news, and like you’ve got a specific agenda you want to push. It makes me not want to listen
I think as a collective, we should be called the Investors. Great coverage already, great season already. Loved the part of the preview where Dr. Will says, "What show did you win?" to David. 😅 Looking forward to the next few months with all my fellow Investors. 🫶
OMG I love this show! That’s said I felt the pacing of the pyramid game was off. Still excited for the season though. The characters are A tier. I’d even say better than Survivor if all contestants are taken into consideration.
DONDIIIIIIIIIIIII!! I'm so glad it's back! What a great addition to reality TV.

Parv is just remarkable. Those survivor skills make her look like a step above everyone else.

Dr. Will not recognizing David but clocking that he won some other strategy show is a legendary read.
I thought he was trying to condescend, like "I won a show, what show did you win?"
@DougOrleans totally possible! Not the vibe I was getting in that moment but that is his personality!
@@DougOrleansnot gonna lie I also hear that, I think this dude is in the minority lol
Don't look now, but you guys have more than twice as many views than the "official" DONDI aftershow. Fun ep, I can't wait for the rest of the season.
Clock it! 🕰️
To be fair, the official DONDI aftershow is on peacock itself in addition to youtube.
Love you guys! So excited. I was so mad I didn't see Dr. Will until the end. Can't wait to see the chaos he causes next week.
DONDI! so glad to be back with y'all
Guy from Amsterdam here, watching this season just for my fav Parvati & excited to follow these recaps along the way 🫶
For a second I thought Rock was Dr Will in a disguise and that Dr Will would try and be undercover the whole game😂
DONDI!! Guys we are sooo freakin back 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I squealed when I saw Parv and David teaming up This season is going to be a blast!!
Comparing Pavarti putting in a bathing suit to Superman putting on his outfit is the most perfect comparison I’ve ever heard
18:40 Don't take Lete's WWE experience too seriously. She was only in training and left in under a year due to, in her own words, being too much of a wimp.
I kinda think the banker could be a shark tank person
Well we know its not Barbara because she would have never offered any deals
It's hilarious that the episode never mentions that Parvati was on The Traitors. You'd think they'd want to promote another NBC property!
I’m way too excited to see the scene where will asks David what show he won
I was thinking Jordan too
I also thought of Jordan as Banker, but I'm going to go with my same prediction from last year, that Jane Lynch is the Banker.
Do you think Dr. Will coming in late was one of his “demands”? Do you think it’s advantageous to come into the game later?
I think he only agreed to one ep, and they realized by putting him in ep 2 they could get the dr will fans to watch 2 episodes instead of 1 lol
@@Broadway_BenI hope not because it is just getting lame to have him be on one episode of a reality show.
It was absolutely one of his demands. I don't know if it is an advantage. Dr. Will absolutely wants to the "star".
Well one of his demands was probably coming in on a boat in a big entrance. So they probably did this
It sounded like he was a last second replacement for somebody and he got to the island late as a result. Wouldn’t be surprised if the big entrance was a demand though, so I think it all worked out well together!
Is Storm Wilson the angrier version of Rainn Wilson?
Commenting before watching, but I hope you talk about the White Lotus music!
Yes, i noticed TWL music tones in S1 and they were back in this first episode of S2 as well. There's also sounds from Survivor South Africa and the music that plays when they are all on their way to the Banker's Temple, sounds like its from the movie Commando.
Can't wait to watch all the craziness this season!!! DONDI :)
Also, I thought that it could have been Claudia Jordan as the banker for some reason. But I doubt it.
I knew Luke was gone based on Joe’s interview last week talking about one of the worst players we’ll ever see lol
Love this podcast! My guess for the banker is Omarosa
I’m Dickson Wong fan 👍👍👍he’s good 😁😁😁hope he can go more farther 💪💪💪
Calling Parv one note on the Traitors when she was the second most entertaining person is crazy
ditto. Rob is trippin'.
In Rob's defense. He is not saying it was a bad NOTE. She was hitting the HIGH notes. He is just saying she does her best singing when she is hitting ALL the notes. And in Traitors she did NOT hit all the notes.
On the Traitors Parvati seemed one/high noted because Dan as her partner made a lot of mistakes. She advised against killing Bernie, buuuut Dan blew it. Parvati is always more astute and more nuanced than given credit.
I predict the banker is Martha Stewart!
That's such a great guess! I bet you're correct!
OMG I love this show! That’s said I felt the pacing of the pyramid game was off. Still excited for the season though. The characters are A tier. I’d even say better than Survivor if all contestants are taken into consideration.
DONDIIIII!!!!
Dondisians? Community name. Excited for another season!
Heidi Klum was my first thought for what it’s worth. She just made her announcement as a return to Project Runway.
Thanks for a great rundown DONDI team, so fun.
Good guess. She's also closely tied to Howie Mandel (who's still exec producer of DONDI) as they're both judges on America's Got Talent
Oh man, what a viewer tactic from production. Putting Will in the previews, then making us wait until episode two before he actually plays. Lol.
It is so cute that David and Parv have gotten their own Aron. I know David is married, and Parv was most recently in a relationship with a woman, but Parv and David as a couple is my own personal fan fiction.
FYI, Mae Martin came out as non-binary in 2021 and uses they/them pronouns ✌️
I really like the Parvati/David platonic relationship. Not a showmance, but I don’t know what the word is.
@@lolabush2201I would just say friendship, lol.
The banker is obviously Candice from the Raro tribe
such a good first episode!
Dondivas is my suggestion for community name 😂
Dondeviants?
Production seems a bit confused by their own format. At the end of the episode, Joe said the banker was disappointed. Shouldnt the banker be happy that a bad deal was made and only $1 was added to final case? Maybe the banker wants a good competition but I still find the format clunky.

Could the baker (I live in Wisconsin) be Tina Fey?
I’m extremely disappointed with all the hype about Dr Will and he wasn’t even there.
I think the phrase is “tit’s in a wringer”
Oh, interesting. That never even occurred to me (or them) 😂
Came here to say this too 😂
My far fetched banker prediction is Meghan Markle since she was a briefcase model!
That would be fun, but I doubt it
Same lol that or Sophia Vergara. 😀
I would've gambled for the $500 at the end also, but I definitely would've taken the 218k.
DONDI 2!
A fun potential banker would be Jennifer Coolidge.
I think Reba is a good guess on who the banker is. I also think Heidi Klum is a good guess also that someone else guessed in the main chat
The banker has to be the winner of season 1 right??
I thought so for a second but some thing about how they phrased everything led me to believe it was not
Well, that's what Chappelle thinks...
Maybe we could call ourselves the parrots. It's the one demand that Dr. Will couldn't have, and we "squak" about the show.
I feel like Parvati is bigger than Dr Will…. Only a niche part of the internet bows down to Will
I feel like Dr. Will left his mark, even if you don't know him. He did create the term Showmance.
A ringer as I know it is someone who is the strong guy on the team. I don't know if there is another entendre.
That's a different meaning. Luke was using a variation of the saying "been through the wringer." I'm pretty sure Rob was (sort of) correct in thinking it comes from old fashioned washing tubs that have the rolling wringers, which squeeze the water out.
My first guess for banker was Meghan Markle, who was a briefcase model during the second season of Deal Or No Deal
Did I understand correctly that the only way to win this challenge was for the red team to steal a high enough dollar case. Like that was the game, right?
My pitch for the fandom name: DONDI LIONS
I think claudia being the banker was plausible. So i definetly could see Jordan as the banker.
Does anyone think the banker could be Megan Markle? She has past experience with Deal or no Deal as a model/case opener???
I have tried again to watch the premier episode of this show and I just don’t get it. It doesn’t entertain me at all. I guess I need to watch Rob’s video about the game because I don’t get the rules or method or the game.
Thank god luke’s idiocy didn’t cost us david going home
Banker guess-- How wild would Meghan Markle be?? She was on Deal or No Deal!
That's who I think it could be. A tie-in with the regular show and big enough to get a reaction from the cast.
DONDI!!!
Simon Cowell could be the banker! However, I also think Jordan!
DONDI!!!!
Dickson and Aron
DONDites!
The Islanders
No one has ever heard my ass is in a ringer??? Come on
I think we should be called the dondles.
Meghan Markle should definitely be the banker
We are DONDInites
Any chance the banker is Meghan Markle?
How could it not be Sofia vergara? Married to Joe and on. AGOT with Howie??
Joe and Sofia split up, so it definitely will NOT be her.
She made his bed!!!!!
I died
ROCK
The Dondians
Sofia Vergara? Oprah?
Briefcasers
DON-DIsciples
Dondites!
Megan Markel
How bout a fanbase name: The Dondites
Luke DESERVED to go home!
Fan name reco: IlumiDONDIes
Dondites, obviously
I think the banker is Meghan Markel she’s going back to her deal or no deal roots you heard it here first!!!
Have we considered ex-briefcase model Meghan Markle?
Dondettes
DONDI FONDIs
I think the banker is Phaedra Parks for obvious reasons. She is that gurl!
👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Do we need Chappell here every week to talk about what a mean girl Parvati is?
Try to stop me 😌
@@chappell8517I mean, do what you want. But I’ve only heard you in three things, the HvV recap/review, Dondi preview, and this.

I will! Thanks for the feedback.
@@chappell8517 This is customer service!
Most pathetic episode 1 gameplay of all time; congrats Luke.
Parvati doesn’t add anything. This season is crap, nothing like Season 1 and won’t be watching further sorry
I think as a collective, we should be called the Investors.
Great coverage already, great season already. Loved the part of the preview where Dr. Will says, "What show did you win?" to David. 😅 Looking forward to the next few months with all my fellow Investors. 🫶
This must be the bad gameplay that the host was talking about. 🫣
It’s probably Sydney the red head girl
Dunno how anyone could be worse than Luke. Except for Jacob in bb 9 haha.
Historically bad gameplay! Luke broke all the lowest records on the first episode😩
OMG I love this show! That’s said I felt the pacing of the pyramid game was off. Still excited for the season though. The characters are A tier. I’d even say better than Survivor if all contestants are taken into consideration.
