Each team had to move stacks of tires from one platform to another, and St. Clair and Xiao while had five fewer tires after Justine misspelled a word backwards (the twist), they built theirs too high.<\/p>\n<p>St. Clair and Xiao open up about that elimination and revealed what wasn\u2019t aired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>During the daily, Shannon, you got hurt.

I do regret announcing it, but everyone could see my sneaker got caught in the rope ladder and I was dangling, even if I didn\u2019t say it. It wasn\u2019t meant for everybody to hear. It was for me to tell Derek, \u201cHey, there\u2019s a problem down here. That\u2019s why I\u2019m not making it to the top as fast as you, I\u2019m working my way out of it right now.\u201d I scream when I talk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Xiao:<\/strong> [<em>Laughs<\/em>] We had a full conversation up there and we were both screaming. I think we would\u2019ve had a better case for us not to go in, but at the end of the day, we probably still would\u2019ve gone in, because I\u2019ve talked to Desi since the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> and for her, it was me all day. I was really just pitching to David the entire time, hoping that David would change his mind or stand strong and keep going down the Tyson route or throwing someone else in. But eventually I think Desi wore him down and then he flipped to her side.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1055986\" style=\"width: 874px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1055986\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1055986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-864x570.jpg\" alt=\"Shannon St. Clair in The Challenge: USA\" width=\"864\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-864x570.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-438x289.jpg 438w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-570x376.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1055986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jonne Roriz, courtesy of Paramount<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><em>Big Brother<\/em> is where you really felt the show alliances were falling apart as quickly as they did.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Xiao: <\/strong>Yeah. Two episodes ago, Alyssa threw in Xavier. In these games, what I try to do \u2014 and maybe it\u2019s not even good \u2014 is think ahead: \u201cOK, how do I even make it to the end and what does the end look like?\u201d Thinking about the end, I don\u2019t want strong guys with me and the show alliances aren\u2019t gonna work. It\u2019s like having in <em>Big Brother<\/em>, an eight-person alliance on the first week. Obviously, this eight-person alliance isn\u2019t gonna make it past jury because there\u2019s not more than this number of people in the house. These show alliances aren\u2019t gonna work, especially with this algorithm, so better to beat it to the punch than be the person that\u2019s taken out. So let\u2019s go ahead and break it first. You can argue it could have been a little bit too early, but really it\u2019s just so hard to tell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>On the other hand, Shannon, Justine said that you two are close friends. Talk about going against her in elimination.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>St. Clair:<\/strong> It was not ideal. It was like the worst case scenario, just with everything during the daily and then into the elimination. I have nothing but love for Justine and we didn\u2019t want to go up against each other at all because our <em>Love Island<\/em> Alliance with the females, we called ourselves the Ligs, we were so loyal to each other and so strong compared to some of the other shows that had past drama and past hurt feelings versus our <em>Love Island<\/em> alliance did not. So the fact that it was a lose-lose, no matter what, one <em>Love Island<\/em> girl was gonna be sent home, it wasn\u2019t ideal for either of us. It was really hard going up against not only one of your own, but someone that you\u2019re close with outside of the game.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1055985\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1055985\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1055985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Shannon St. Clair in The Challenge: USA\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-shannon-derek.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1055985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jonne Roriz, courtesy of Paramount<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For the elimination, what was your thinking with the taller stacks? Or were you more focused on transferring the tires?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Xiao: <\/strong>When we got into elimination, we could see how tall the tires were and we knew that we had to move that exact stack over to the other side. Shannon really couldn\u2019t even reach the top of the stack with the tires. I was thinking, if she can\u2019t reach it here, she\u2019s definitely not gonna be able to stack it on the other side, so because I\u2019m a little bit taller, let me stack up so I\u2019m putting all the tall ones and then Shannon could be stacking around the base. But then we weren\u2019t able to build the base fast enough to support how tall the towers were and they ended up falling. So in hindsight, horrible strategy. If I could go back, we should have just done the base and then said \u201cF it, I\u2019ll just do all of the ones on the top,\u201d maybe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>St. Clair: <\/strong>I\u2019m 5-feet-1-inch. Derek is 6 feet. I had to have a step stool of two tires just to climb up to get the tires off the pole.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Did your injury factor into it at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>St. Clair: <\/strong>I didn\u2019t let that affect me. When my adrenaline\u2019s going, I\u2019m a competitor, I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m going to go balls to the wall with whatever I do. I also numbed it up beforehand, so I was just like, \u201cAlright, if I can just not <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> and hurt this anymore\u2026\u201d Running in the sand was probably the hardest part with the pulled hamstring. But when you\u2019re on, you\u2019re on. I\u2019m like hurt hamstring, who? I want to prove to all these people standing up there \u2014 they all are waiting on my downfall \u2014 that I could just get through. So many times I wanted to fake fall and lie in the sand and tap out and just be like, sorry, but I\u2019m just so proud of myself that I pushed through. I think honestly, between the injury and the height disadvantage, it was the height disadvantage, for sure. The hamstring just maybe slowed down my running a little bit, but it was everything. It was just not my elim.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1055983\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1055983\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1055983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Derek Xiao in The Challenge: USA\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/the-challenge-usa-106-derek.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1055983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jonne Roriz, courtesy of Paramount<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Derek, you said Alyssa was the most loyal and best partner you could ask for.

Me and Alyssa, I never questioned that. We talked through everything, our entire games were like the same at some points.

It was really heroic the way that they offered to do that since I was injured and we were really good friends with Cash and Kyland. We ultimately declined, which now looking back, I kind of wish we went and let them do it, but no, I think it was too much of the guilt of if they got sent home, I would have to walk myself out. I wouldn\u2019t be able to see my girl go home. And just the fact I was supposed to be an alternate going into all of this. I don\u2019t think the audience knew that. So when I\u2019m crying in the first episode and I <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear like, Shannon, what are you doing in front of everybody? It was because I wasn\u2019t even supposed to be on the main show. I didn\u2019t watch the main show. I didn\u2019t train for the main show. Being thrown in was just absolutely foreign to me and I didn\u2019t watch <em>Survivor<\/em> or any other shows. It was definitely really tough on me in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, trying to figure out what\u2019s going on and how to play the game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Xiao:<\/strong> I do kinda wish more of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> aspects of the game were shown because I do think we had a ton of fun at that house. Also the strategic side, I\u2019m not saying for me, [but] I know a lot of people had a lot of alliances that ended up dictating how things played out and none of that was really shown. I do specifically want to shout out, I think Tyson had a pretty great alliance that was this winners\u2019 alliance between him, Kyland, Angela. Basically, if you won a daily challenge, you got added to the winners\u2019 alliance. I thought that was a genius strategy and they haven\u2019t talked about that at all either. I feel like both socially and strategically, it\u2019s been a little bit lacking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Would you both do another season?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>St. Clair: <\/strong>I don\u2019t know if I would or not. I\u2019m gonna say a solid maybe. I think the real challenge was just the living conditions, coming off of <em>Love Island<\/em> being in a beautiful villa in Hawaii to being in a warehouse in Argentina. It was just really bad living conditions: cold showers, sharing toilets, water that would just run constantly. Just that dripping, it\u2019s like you walk into the bathroom and you\u2019re having a bad day and it\u2019s that one drip that just will set you off. And the food, everybody was getting sick. The challenges were fun and rewarding and I like the show as a whole now that I\u2019ve been on it. So maybe if the living conditions were different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Xiao: <\/strong>I really enjoyed this past season because of the amazing cast they had on. So I think for another season it would really come down to the cast and if it was the right mix, it\u2019d be awesome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><em>The Challenge: USA<\/em>, Wednesdays, 9\/8c, CBS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
