'The GOAT' fans dub Reza Farahan 'crying' over co-star Da'Vonne Rogers' gameplay 'comical' and 'ridiculous'

Da'Vonne Rogers wins a challenge in 'The GOAT' by intentionally ranking other contenders lower to acquire control for the week, which frustrates Reza Farahan

CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA: You can now watch the first three episodes of 'The GOAT' on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video, featuring a plethora of intense drama. It's interesting to note that the tension endures long after the movie is finished, evident in the ongoing drama between Reza Farahan and Da'Vonne Rogers, stirring up notable ire among fans, especially toward the former.

The first three episodes of the show are full of amusing one-liners, enjoyable tasks, and backstabbing. 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 heaps of praise for bringing these tournaments to life.

Next, a diverse array of robust cast members with distinct personalities contribute to the heightened dramatic tension. On one side, there are those present to revel in the experience, while on the other, contestants like Da'Vonne, from reality TV shows like 'Big Brother,' disrupt the peace by skillfully manipulating the game.

The underlying tension between Da'Vonne and Reza was revealed in Episode 3 of 'The GOAT', titled "Casualty of War." The ensemble finds themselves competing in an unconventional talent show, where Da'Vonne strategically secures victory by ranking other participants lower, ultimately gaining control for the week.

 Reza finds himself irked by this strategy, feeling he was unjustly deprived of victory as Da'Vonne purposefully assigned him a low score, leading to a narrow 87-85 defeat. However, many argue that with $200k at stake, he can't fault Da'Vonne for playing the game strategically.

On X, one fan wrote, "Reza crying because Davonne wanted to win the challenge is CRAZY." Another fan chimed in, "REZA CRIED??? They're mad at Da'vonne for BEING SMART? What a bunch of clowwwwnsss. Be smarter."

One fan wrote, "Reza’s reaction when he realized what Da’Vonne was doing was just comical. How somebody could FATHOM wanting to play this game like a damn game shook him. This is why he flopped so hard at The Traitors." Another asked, "Why is reza crying over da’vonne giving him a 2 when that’s clearly the only number she had left???"

One fan sighed, "Reza and Justin need to never do another competitive reality show ever again cause this is ridiculous crying about Da’Vonne using strategy to win immunity and get her competition out like WHAT who the hell says oh “we using strategy” ON A COMPETITION SHOW MIND YOU." Another said, "Reza is crying because Davonne is playing the game? She wanted to be GOAT of the week."

Reza Farahan calls 'The GOAT' costar Da'Vonne Rogers 'Quadzilla'

Reza spoke about 'The GOAT' on Jeff Lewis's SiriusXM program, "Jeff Lewis Live," on Friday, May 3. Reza could be heard calling Da'Vonne "Quadzilla" (she has "quads of steel") and insulting her in a clip from the show.

He said that throughout the game, "Quadzilla" used her friendship with fellow Bravolebrity Jill Zarin to manipulate her, causing "emotional outbursts" in her wake.

Jeff questioned if Da'Vonne was despised by everybody at GOAT Manor after it was revealed that "Quadzilla" was, in fact, Da'Vonne.

Reza went on to say, "So, she didn't end up coming to press day. I had to be regrouped with other people because she had a problem with another castmate [who] didn't want to do press with her. And then, ultimately, she ended up canceling."

Reza also said that Da'Vonne was "straight out of the gutter" with her game plan, which made Jeff say, "So she's a thug.. She's the villain."

The ex-Bravo star said on the radio program, "Some might say she was playing a good game, but she brought nothing to the house. She was in her room strategizing, [but] she didn't come across as the villain."

Only hours later, footage from the program surfaced on X. Fans wasted no time sharing the videos with Da'Vonne, who replied, "Thug…. Gutter …. I'll circle back to this video when the show airs."

In a follow-up post, Da'Vonne stated, "Pay attention to Reza's gestures as he's using the word 'gutter' (which was definitely a choice b/c 'cutthroat' was RIGHT THERE) …… the gestures paired with the word gutter … it definitely gave 'she's Black.'"

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.
