How did he convince his partner, Gabby Allen, not to take on the easiest elimination win yet?
Warning: This article contains spoilers about Wednesday’s episode ofThe Challenge: Double Agents.
Walking into the Crater and seeing a Hall Brawl setup is always a daunting sight onThe Challenge.
MTV
And in what might have been the dumbest move inChallengehistory, she didn’t take it.
“Personally, I think this elimination sucked,” Walker-Molaghan tells EW.
“I don’t think anyone’s going to watch this and say, ‘That was great!’
Amber vs. Amber is one of the worst eliminations in the history of the show.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Was that elimination really as bad as it looked?
DEVIN WALKER-MOLAGHAN:It was worse.
Move over, let me hold your beer.”
It was just unbelievable.
We were disappointed in ourselves, for sure.
And by the same token, I missed a golden opportunity to go rogue here.
I could have played my cards right.
And considering that I am 100 percent public enemy No.
But as someone that is self-aware, I can acknowledge when I blow it.
It was a true Jedi mind trick.
That part of it was actually a little easier than maybe it comes across.
I would have thought that’s exactly what she’d want.
That’s what I thought too.
And he did that a few times with Gabby.
And we actually hadn’t seen what happens if the Double Agents don’t agree.
And then it’s, “Do I really want to go down there in a Hall Brawl?”
So I really don’t understand why she didn’t do it.
I think just in that moment fear got the best of her.
It was a golden opportunity lost.
And Amber M. was talking a big game.
I don’t know what Cory put in her cereal, but she was all fired up.
It wasn’t even close.
So Gabby was definitely kicking herself after the fact.
This season has been the most unpredictable game yet.
How did you adapt your strategy to stay on top of that?
I’ve got to be honest with you, I didn’t really have much control over my strategy.
[Laughs] My strategy was pretty much dictated because no one wanted to work with me.
It was so incredibly self-aware and honest, and I couldn’t stop laughing.
[Laughs] Because I realize exactly what I’m doing.
Because you’re not like that at all."
It makes for a lot of entertaining moments because you often say exactly what viewers are thinking.
I am a man of the people.
Do you think that makes your path in this game more difficult than it would be otherwise?
That definitely hurts me!
[Laughs] And that goes along with my deal-making too.
No one likes a realistic deal.
Everybody likes the deal that’s too good to be true.
If ever you play the game, I would not recommend using logic in an alliance.
People are not into it, it’s not what they want to hear.
AndAre You the One’s been in there for six years and we just refuse to work together.
Where does your game go from here?
The line in the sand was officially drawn after this week’s elimination.
And there is now one side that’s stacked.
I will just say that my best work is yet to come.
