To date, two cast members have been eliminated from this season of The Challenge: USA. The first to leave the show was Ameerah Jones. Jonna Mannion recently spoke to US Weekly after the elimination and discussed Tori’s performance.
“Right before, you know, we’re getting ready, we’re putting our helmets on, … [Tori] looks at me and I could just see pure, like, sorrow in her face. She’s like, ‘What do we do?’” she said.
Furthermore, Jonna Mannion shared that she asked her friend and fellow contestant Tori not to give her an easy time and to do her best. Hence, she was “not surprised” by the turn of events in ‘Drop the Ball.’
“[I told Tori,] ‘This is what they want. They want vet versus vet. I’m gonna try as hard as I can, so you better try as hard as you can, too.’ So, I was not surprised when my face got slammed into a wall and on the ground and stuff,” she continued.

As per Gold Derby, Jonna Mannion discussed the one mistake she made on The Challenge: USA season 2 and how she became the target among the other contestants.
“Not only was the target big because of the back-to-back wins, then they’re like, ‘Hey guys, we’re going to make you guys ride up on jet skis,’ and then the first-round draft pick. These people are already scared of me! And then they made us carry a statue of me up a mountain,” she said.
Furthermore, she spoke about Michele Fitzgerald and voting for him in the first challenge as she said:
“I wouldn’t say it’s a mistake that I regret. I probably should have waited until Episode 6. That’s when I should have pulled that move. But with all the unknown factors that we had, when I put her name into the hopper, I had no idea that they were going to bring a jumbotron to elimination.”
