Their flirty situation seemed to come into play later. Since Syrus and his teammate Beth finished last in the daily challenge, Syrus was automatically put into elimination. He told others that he wanted to take on Alton because he felt Alton held his group back during the daily challenge.
That apparently caused some tension as Alton didn’t feel he should go in. He tried to suggest Eric “Big Easy” Banks instead during the deliberation meeting. Still, most of the voting cast members chose Alton as Syrus’ opponent.
At The Arena, host TJ Lavin revealed a big twist — it would be a double elimination. It meant Beth was automatically going in as Syrus’ partner. Alton got to choose his teammate, so he picked Aneesa Ferreira, and they dominated the event, sending Beth and Syrus home.
