Sure, sure, history was being made onThe Bachelortonight.
But turn the dial up a few notches, and there was also some history being made onThe Challenge.
Wait, howd Johnny get into that elimination in the first place?
Yeah, his pal Tony Raines turned his back on his mentor and threw him into The Ring.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did this elimination feel?JOHNNY BANANAS:Being eliminated sucks.
You never want to see all the hard work you put in that season, especially this season.
So I kept winning.
I was in more Troikas than anyone to this point.
What exactly was your injury?Its called a hip pointer.
So I was crippled, essentially, and its one of those injuries that just takes time to heal.
So going into that elimination, I was going in at maybe 25-30 percent of my physical abilities.
What did you think when you saw the elimination was a puzzle?My puzzle record is not good.
And probably the adrenaline wouldve been going.
This… just wasnt in the cards.
A physical elimination always feels better losing to.
It was kind of the perfect storm of bad things taking place all simultaneously.
Its like in elementary school if you like a girl, then youre mean to them.
With Kayleigh, he was just obviously mad that she didnt do what he wanted her to do.
So, if anything, he didnt manipulate anything.
All he did was just create controversy…
I think, if anything, Devin was just pissed that he got outsmarted again.
Kayleigh, whos supposed to be Devins best friends girlfriend, doesnt even vote him in.
Thats not exactly flawless manipulation if you ask me.
And whats that status with you and Natalie?Were cool.
I still talk to her a bit, but shes kind of off doing her own thing.
Even with Tony in the Troika?There was a lot of red flags this season.
So what it seemed like this season for Tony is that he was trying to play his own game.
I couldve used a heads-up.
Is there part of you that respects that he did that?
It kind of seems like your puppy just bit you and gave you rabies.Yeah.
Essentially, thats what happened.
Tonys never really been known for making the best decisions.
I even told him after this last season, I think the war is off now.
I think youve done your time, youve learned your lesson.
From here on out, its just going to be a different game for Tony going forward.
What about Tony versus Devin?
Whose money would you take first?I dont know.
I will say this: I dont consider Devin a threat in any way, shape, or form.
I think this season, hes a victim of circumstance.
I definitely see Tony as more of a threat to the game.
Just look at how many Troikas the guy was in this season.
I mean, Tony showed up.
Tony performed this season.
Devin just found himself at the right place at the right time.
What do you think about people saying that youve been cursed since taking Sarah money?Ive cursed myself.
The way you better look at it has nothing to do with taking Sarahs money.
Lets not forget, I wonChamps vs. Starslast season.
Champs vs. Starsdoesnt count.
I dont count that.Why dont you?
It wasnt actually a win.
Thats not what Im saying.
So the way I see it is the landscape has changed for me.
For nobody else but me.
Because Ive won as much as I have its the same thing with Tom Brady.
Its like every team saves their best shot for the Patriots because theyre the best team.
There isnt one other guy in the house that has those problems to deal with day 1.
So the only curse that is there is from me winning too much.
It has nothing to do with Sarah…
If anything, the curse is a byproduct of me being as successful as Ive been.
