War Of The Worlds Friction: Jenna And Zach Open Up About Their Bumble Battle
At the
Final Reckoning reunion,
Amanda teased a bombshell about her partner
Zach. Right now, on tonight's
War of the Worlds episode, the
Are You the One? alum dropped mentioned shocking revelation and caused mayhem in Namibia.
"Zach was on Bumble whenever we got eliminated," Amanda told
Jenna, soon following the three-time
Challenge finalist asked her fellow Veteran to please reveal the supposed jaw-dropper about her boyfriend. "He showed me and
Da'Vonne -- ask Da'Vonne," Amanda stated while Zach screamed that she was a "liar."
"I'm pissed off that this was thrown into my face that Zach is on a dating app, and it's really embarrassing because I don't know about it," Jenna admitted in a separate interview. "Everyone's around, and it also looks like I don't know what's going on in my relationship."
As soon as Jenna attempted to ask Zach about the claim, he grew more and more irritated. They slept on it -- and the following morning, the two discussed. At first, all was calm: Zach confessed he re-downloaded the app throughout the South Africa adventure to be able to see if it still worked -- however he never swiped or did anything. Any time as soon as he asked if they were still with each other, Jenna hesitated to answer, so he angrily walked away and threatened to leave the show.
Eventually, she followed him outdoors, where he repeatedly mentioned he was "done" and that the full situation was blown "way out of proportion."
"Do you realize the person that I hate constantly gets to embarrass me?" A distraught Jenna asked as her voice cracked. "Do you get that?"
"I didn't cheat on you -- I would never cheat on you," Zach stressed. "That's the sincere to god truth. In the event you can't take that, then you should to prepare a decision."
Jenna insisted she didn't want this to be the end and added that she trusted her boyfriend. Although looking back, how would they describe documenting this hard experience?
"I was hoping it was going to be a really good season for us -- we both get a lot of anxiety on the show," Jenna revealed to MTV News. "Having our relationship out there really is very hard, rather than just going on the show single or your guy being at house. We were in the limelight, and if we fight, each person understands about it. Each person chimes in and gives their opinion."
She continued: "Stuff gets exploded. If we were fighting at house, it's a secluded situation. This season was not my best with Zach, unfortunately."
For Zach, the way the disagreement started (with Amanda) wasn't "anything new."
"People are going to attack what they know and care about," he explained. "If they can find a weakness, they're going to attack that, and I think certain types of people play that game. It's a dirty game. It's very cutthroat, and people don't care what they do group in attempt to get a leg up, and also you really notice that as soon as you're in a relationship. In real life, there's just certain things you don't do, and in a
Challenge, you do those things. You cross those lines."
Will the two successfully move past this situation? And will it impact their respective paths to the title? Give your feedback, then keep watching
