Wiggins line is like never ever ever repping TT, and the fact that Phil tanked so long and genuinely thought he might be beat is absolutely laughable to me. If it was anyone other then Phil, it wasn't deserved, and those guys would have been out of line.. But the dude still has a good amount of negative karma coming his way IMHO, for all the BS he's dished out over the years.
Haha PH, haha

Dunno though, Phil could have been being Phil earlier in the episode which we didn't see.

Ok I'm going to eat my words a
tiny bit here. I just finished watching week 1, and I'm really finding myself torn on the Phil thing now. He's obviously got issues but I've never seen him go out of his way so much to try to have a good time - which to me was really showing in the first 2 episodes before the beat. Yes he was being Phil, but you can catch glimpses of him genuinely laughing off some of the needles aimed at him early on.
He's got some line like "everyone has a little Phil in them, but usually they grow out of it" which I thought was pretty hilarious - and that's it in a nutshell.. He's
trying to take himself less seriously, but I think when people gang up on him it's pretty hard for him
not to shell up and become old Phil.
This is really hard for me. I'm still not a fan of Phil, but I see a little more of a human side after this I think. I might have to take it down from "loathing" (Adam lol) to just annoying now.
/end OT rant.
