The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion Recount: Chaos of the “Conquest” Stage
Conquest Stage of The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion – Three-way elimination reminiscent of the show’s “Fresh Meat” exiles. For the first Conquest elimination, Zara Zoffany went up against Horacio Gutierrez and Kyland Young. After a phenomenal effort on her part, she was eliminated from the game. Zara speaks up about the chaos that Conquest brought.
Zara Zoffany’s “Conquest” Experience
Zara, Horacio, and Kyland tried to avoid the situation, as Zara explained, “There was no big pitch, but there was the little talk saying, ‘Hey, you know what? We will have your back if you have ours.'” While it seemed like Ed was considering joining forces with this crew, Zara doesn’t believe that it was that close to coming to fruition. She added, “I feel like now watching it back, Ed had no intention of listening to us, but I felt like if he was actually smart, he could have come on our side.”
Strategies and Team Efforts in the Game
In the end, Zara faced off against Kyland and Horacio in the season’s first three-way elimination. For many viewers, it was hard to see Zara in this situation, particularly since Kyland and Horacio are two of the strongest male competitors there. But, for Zara, she was up for the challenge.
Zara’s Competitive Spirit
“Honestly, I’ve always competed against guys since I was younger. I don’t ever think of myself, ‘oh, I’m a girl’ even though I probably should. When my boyfriend’s trying to take my luggage, I’m like, ‘I’ve got it.’ I’m not that type of person. So for me, I just wasn’t the best competitor on the day.” The elimination was tricky as it allowed Kyland and Horacio to work together during some of the stages. What does Zara think about two of her allies teaming up against her?
Personal Outlook and Competitive Goals
“I knew they came in the house together. Obviously, we got close, but they have a previous history and they didn’t owe me anything,” Zara said. “I know if there was a choice they wouldn’t want me to go out and I can’t blame them for helping each other. I don’t hold anything against them. But that’s also why I went to do my own thing.” This is the exact energy that Zara brought to her game, as she described how she was simply there to compete.
