Exclusive Interview: Did Cara Maria Regret Her War Of The Worlds 2 Vote Against Theo?

Cara Maria and Theo were a strong duo while in War of the Worlds: As partners, the two-time Challenge champ and Love Island vet noticed themselves in the Tribunal four times and never saw an elimination as teammates (or individuals). Yet on War of the Worlds 2, the pair is on opposite sides of the pond teams -- and while in this week's episode, Cara voted in her former teammate.


"It's sh*tty to have to mention his name, nevertheless I know he's the ideal and we gotta go with the ideal Cara stated from the Tribunal perch at the Proving Ground.


And although Theo was able to take down his fellow Brit Kyle in "Running Riot," he had some post-game thoughts about Cara's decision to put him in that weak game play spot.


"Honestly, I was really irritated by her decision," he recently revealed to MTV News. "Who you think is the ideal or not, some days your loyalty stays with people you're loyal to. I would have never voted her in, without consideration of what my team mentioned and without consideration of who you aspire to be able to see in a final or not. I'm a gentleman of my word, and we sort of have a unspoken bond that we wouldn't do that. Other people I would expect it from, yet not with Cara. I'm over it now."


For her part, Cara felt regret.


"I didn't aspire to [vote for him]," she mentioned. "I really, really like Theo. I respect him as a competitor. He's an animal. I love him, and I hated to do that and it also was my hardest vote for now this season. However he was working with a crowd of people actively working against Paulie, which is actively working against me. So to me, I did feel loyalty to him, nevertheless there's nothing I may do any time you're playing on a different alliance."


What do you know of Cara's plan of action and explanation of the events? And will it affect Theo's thinking in the future? Be sure to keep watching Cara, Theo and the rest of the Challenge competitors every Wednesday on War of the Worlds 2 at 9/8c.
