Tori Deal, a veteran of MTV's The Challenge, is finally opening up about her side of the story when it comes to the Tacha Akide elimination fallout from MTV's Spies, Lies and Allies. It is no surprise that the OGs want to get rid of the new blood first. But some new players feel the attacks are unwarranted and often lead to bigger drama.
Tori has been a powerhouse on the hit MTV competition show. She got her start on the network by starring on Are You the One? She then moved to The Challenge franchise, XXX: Dirty Thirty, War of the Worlds 2, Final Reckoning, Total Madness, and Double Agents. She found love for a short period of time on the show with fellow contestant Jordan Wisely. The two were unstoppable when it came to the extreme channels, but their love fizzled out. Even with a broken heart, Tori is one unstoppable woman.
After a frenzied elimination, Tori took to MTV’s Official Challenge Podcast to talk about why she put in Berna over Michele. She told listeners, “It’s just so sad because I really liked Tacha.” Naturally, the reality TV star made it clear it was not her intention to hurt Tacha's feelings but that she had never promised the rookie anything. In the end, Tori defended her choice, saying the decision was made in hopes the elimination was meant for partners. The game usually comes down to how many numbers you have on your side, and this time Corey Lay just didn't have them.
Tori and her partner, Ed Eason, received a lot of backlash after winning the weekly challenge. The duo was able to form The Agency, where they helped make the final decision for the elimination round. The house nominated Tacha and Jeremiah White, while the golden couple chose Berna Canbeldek and Corey to go in on the day. Naturally, T.J. Lavin had a twist, and the elimination turned out to be a female-only day. Sadly, Tacha lost, but she had a few choice parting words for Tori. The Big Brother Nigeria star felt she had been deceived by Tori earlier on in the day. Viewers watched as Tori asked Tacha who she preferred to face off with for the elimination round but then was not given her choice. Tori's entire decision seemed a bit off-kilter.
Tori shared that no move she ever made in the game was to intentionally hurt someone. The Challenge viewers are also well aware that the cameras show their own truth when it comes to editing each episode. The Challenge personality is a part of the veteran alliance, which she is hoping will take her to the end.
The Challenge airs Wednesdays at 10pm on MTV.
