Michele Fitzgerald’s Challenge journey took an emotional turn with Devin Walker’s surprise exit and even more surprising love note. A newly deleted scene that didn’t make it to this week’s episode revealed the tender moment Michele discovered Devin’s crossword puzzle confession of love, leaving her (and castmate Tori) in a puddle of happy tears.
Olivia, ever the supportive friend, even suggested Michele immortalize the message with a tattoo. Talk about a whirlwind romance!
Meanwhile, Devin, in a post-elimination interview, confirmed the relationship, calling Michele his girlfriend and sharing details of their budding romance. He seemed optimistic about their future, despite the distance and the drama still unfolding on the show. Famous last words?
Because back in the Challenge house, things are getting messy. Johnny Bananas has set his sights on Michele, labeling her Devin’s “soon-to-be ex.” Ouch. Looks like Michele’s newly formed alliance with Olivia and Nia (dubbed the “Ladies of Leisure,” or LOLs) will be put to the test. Can they withstand the Challenge pressure cooker without Devin by Michele’s side?
