It was definitely not something I’m used to."

KELECHI “KELZ” DYKE:It’s a learning curve.
I watchedThe Challengebeforehand, a couple of seasons, so I knew what was going to happen.
But I don’t think most rookies were as clued up as much as I was.
But I always knew going in that I’d have a massive target on my back.
It’s baptism through fire.
You don’t know who to trust.
It really isSpies, Lies and Allies.
The rookies didn’t have a rapport like the vets did; they have relationships and a past.
And it made sense they gathered together against us because this season’s rookies were no joke.
There were serious athletes, the vets were definitely scared about that.
That fear is what clustered them together.
Did you know that Josh and Fessy were scheming to get you out so soon?
I knew that was happening.
To be honest, going in there I thought maybe the vendetta will be mainly me and Fessy.
Corey took Tori and I got partnered up with Tracy.
I could see the clouds were forming.
But I take it as a compliment!
Instead of taking you head-on, he and Josh schemed to get you out.
[Sighs] And I thought I would get a Hall Brawl.
It wasn’t meant to be.
That first night after I got eliminated was quite tough, mentally.
I couldn’t believe it.
It was a shock to the system.
But we adapt, we grow, we come back stronger and smarter.
I was really impressed with how you stood your ground.
It was a rush.
I don’t know how to explain it.
The minute Josh started speaking, it hit me.
“Whoa, I guess this is happening.”
Most people knew I didn’t cut deals, but it’s the fear of competition.
“It makes sense now to take Kelz out.”
You’d think I’d come out bitter, but it was a smart play.
Well done, well played.
It educated me on the way people get taken out.
Were you surprised you were still the house vote even after you revealed Josh’s lie?
The guys wanted to take me out.
It is what it is.
But my heart sunk, I’m not going to lie.
I thought maybe I’ll make it, maybe I was convincing enough.
I called Josh out and no one could stand against me.
But I didn’t anticipate that I would then become the biggest threat in the house.
So now I know.
What was it like competing in that elimination with Tracy?
I felt very helpless.
I couldn’t really do much.
First we were ahead.
And then she kept dropping pieces.
Obviously on the sidelines watching, there’s only so much you might do.
There’s a lot of what-ifs.
And honestly, I was going to wreak so much havoc coming back.
I’ll tell you a secret: I was actually going to take Ashley [as my partner].
Now that would have been a powerhouse duo.
That made a lot of sense.
She’s very smart.
She’s got friends with Amanda and everyone.
Do you have anyone you’re targeting for revenge if you come back in a future season?
Definitely would have to be Josh and Fessy.
And me and Josh could have been friends!
He just ruined it.
So maybe my main one is Josh.
Aw, I would savor that moment.
Josh is always talking about friendship and people being real to him but you know what?
That’s just his game.
You know what, I’m going to be real with you.
Nothing’s really happened afterwards.
Yeah, the episode shows how she knew what was going to happen and was pretending to be shocked.
Yeah, and that hurt me!
You asked me about vendettas, and I think Tori’s definitely on it.
Not in a spiteful way.
I thought it was the perfect partnership to get to the final.
So I felt alone in that deliberation.
I’m very old-school; if I have a teammate, I’m all about loyalty.
you could’t be friends with everyone, but you keep it real with your day-ones.
I was waiting for a situation for her to show her loyalty.
But it’s a cold world!
Now it’s a hit list.
[Laughs] I want to get everyone back in different ways.
As Batman says, sometimes the world doesn’t need another hero.
Have you watchedTraining Day?
People look at Denzel Washington as the villain.
But he’s not really the villain.
He was the pop in of police officer that that area needed, everyone was corrupt.
It’s like Frankenstein’s monster, nature vs. nurture.
Your nature was loyal and honest and now they’ve nurtured you into their worst nightmare.
[Laughs] Watch this face, we’ll come back.
The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Alliesairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
