'The GOAT' fans claim Justin Johnson 'went bottom barrel' with his attack on Kristen Doute and Da'vonne Rogers

Internet blasts Justin Johnson for his verbal feuds with 'The GOAT' costars Kristen Doute and Da'vonne Rogers

CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA: The first three episodes of 'The GOAT' have plenty of backstabbing, exciting tasks, and amusing one-liners. However, witnessing some of the reality television legends go head-to-head was not wholly enjoyable.

Da'Vonne Rogers managed to become the season's second GOAT by carefully ranking other contenders lower in a game of depicting one's talent, and she certainly irritated a few people along the way. Justin Johnson (aka Alyssa Edwards) had a furious confrontation with Da'Vonne, which ended in tears and a threat to leave the show.

Justin also managed to get into a verbal fight with Kristen Doute, where he hinted at the latter's alleged frequent habit of consuming alcohol. These were enough for Justin's fans to turn on him as they took to social media to criticize the 'RuPaul's Drag Race' star.

On X, users slammed Justin writing, "OH HEELLLL no @AlyssaEdwards_1 . You thought it was cute to flip out on @DaVonneDianne_ because she was SMART and PLAYED... just to say some foul ass personal shit to Kristen during elim?? Da'Vonne is just trying to win but your little evil ass went bottom barrel " Another user chimed in, "Alyssa Edwards coming for Kristen’s alcoholism is just so low. And I’m supposed to believe Da’Vonne is the heartless one?"

One tweet also read, "justin throwing that low blow at kristen shows exactly why they should’ve listened to da’vonne." A fourth user noted, "I do not know how to reconcile with Alyssa beefing so hard with the only other icon on the show Da'vonne.Like, gays, y'all need to educate yourself as much in other shit as you do our people.She's the Alyssa Edwards of Big Brother."

One user also wrote, "I love Alyssa down but I know this bald man isn’t telling Da’Vonne she needs to “be a human” because she’s… playing the game?" Another angry viewer asked, "WHO tf is this Justin talking to?! The way he talking to Da'Vonne is pissing me tf off, for playing a fuckin game."

Da'Vonne Rogers ploys to eliminate Justin Johnson in 'The GOAT'

First, there are reality TV show-based tournaments. Thus, it was a fantastic use of the show's distinct inventiveness to include this element.

The production staff deserves a great deal of praise for making them come to life. Next, there's a diverse group of strong cast members with strong personalities that add to the dramatic tension.

We had people there to have fun on the one hand, and Da'Vonne—a contestant from a reality TV show like 'Big Brother'—upset them on the other by manipulating the game. Da'Vonne took an unusual step and organized a group of individuals to THREAD a tournament aimed at eliminating Justin.

Fans aren't upset with her for playing the game, even though it obviously failed and there was $200,000 on the line.

Justin Johnson wanted to challenge himself with 'The  GOAT' participation

'The GOAT' gave Justin the opportunity to express himself more fully. While Drag Race was about establishing his drag character, Alyssa Edwards, Justin stated that he wanted to see how the real Justin performed in a realistic competition.

"[I wanted to] challenge that little Justin still inside me that didn't make the baseball team," Justin told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "Then I realized, wait a minute, I think some of this is just based off of luck and social skills."

What does 'The GOAT' winner get?

Daniel Tosh hosts the program with his trademark wit and sarcasm, navigating the audience through the mayhem with a smile. Set in the sumptuous Goat Manor, the series involves 14 competitors from diverse reality TV backgrounds, including romance, survival, and lifestyle shows such as 'Survivor', 'The Bachelorette', 'Big Brother', 'RuPaul's Drag Race', and others.

Each contender is here not just to fight for the title of "Greatest of All Time" and a rich USD 200,000 prize, but also to mock the exact clichés that propelled them to fame.

The first three episodes of 'The GOAT' are currently available for viewing on Prime Video globally and Freevee in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria. Through June 27, new episodes will air on Thursdays every week.
