Exclusive: Challenge Legend CT Reflects On His Shocking Elimination

"Oh my god" is right: Challenge viewers just witnessed total madness.


Throughout tonight's brand-new episode, legendary competitor CT -- who has made his mark on the MTV series for more than 15 years and racked up so several unforgettable wins and #1 titles -- was defeated by rookie (and undeniable underdog) Jay. It was undeniably one of the greatest dope a** match ups upsets (if not the hugest) in the series' storied run -- plus it was "sick, dude."


"You earned it, brother," the reigning War of the Worlds 2 champion (who opted to go in against Jay although he was segment of the winning Tribunal trio) instructed them Survivor newbie right following the former bested him in Purgatory.


And TJ had nothing although complimentary words for Jay (who already had a Red Skull post-Asaf victory) and remarked that the feat while in "Take Shelter" was "near to impossible." It's also worth noting: CT is the opening player to be atop the leader board in a challenge -- and then be eliminated -- in the program's history.


And in the exclusive video below, CT reflects on the significant takedown mere moments soon after it unfolded.


"He beat me fair and square," the Real World vet mentioned. "I made a few devastating mistakes."


Does CT think that Jay has the freedom to prepare it all of the way to the end? And will CT be back to try for his fourth crown? Watch the clip, give us your take on the shocking ouster in the comments and keep watching Total Madness (it's angry) every Wednesday at 8/7c.
