Game Over: Should Jisela Let The Challenge End Her 20-Year Friendship With Aneesa?

Over the years, the rigor of The Challenge has amounted to split lips, damaged bones and fractured alliances, nevertheless for the opening time, it usually have dissolved a friendship of 20 years. Right now, because the categorize of 12 remaining boys and ladies embark on the final All Stars mission, Aneesa and Jisela find themselves at an important social crossroads also. So is the game worth giving up their bond, or should they fight to sustain their championship sisterhood?


Aneesa, who first appeared on MTV as segment of Season 11 of Real World: Chicago, and Jisela, who was the initial Road Rules competitor to be voted off of Season 10: The Quest, first forged a friendship on Battle of the Sexes in 2002. Neither made it past the game’s halfway point, yet with each other, they had the makings of a winning dynamic that’s lasted two decades.


“We have been very good companions ever since,” Jisela mentioned. “Like, she is aware my kids.”


And Aneesa echoed the sentiment.


“Back residence, I converse with her day-to-day. We FaceTime all of the time; she’s a segment of my life,” she said.


Nevertheless the results of “Rib Cage Pass,” the game’s next mission, threatened to change that. The game, which challenged players to move balls from one side of a moving truck to another (and also across a treacherous obstacle course), awarded Mark and KellyAnne automatic tickets to the finals yet sentenced Jisela and Big Easy — the mission’s two worst performers — to the final Arena battle.


With so much at stake, Jisela pleaded for the game’s remaining players to vote either Derrick, Darrell or Yes, three males who’d however to be able to see an elimination round, to serve as her opponent. And while Aneesa originally seemed intent on throwing Jisela a bone, she was so moved by Yes’ speech about friendships at the nominations, she ultimately cast the deciding vote to send Nehemiah — someone Jisela mentioned she did not want as an opponent — into the next elimination round.


“Jisela might be angry, yet my gut is telling me not to vote for Yes,” Aneesa mentioned. “So I’m gonna listen, and I’ll get through it.”


Jisela, though, didn’t quite feel the same and instructed them categorize soon following the vote that she recommended to totally sever her ties with Aneesa.


“Losing Aneesa as a friend does not affect me,” she mentioned coldly. “I’m a very cut-and-dry friend. You do me dirty, and you’re out -- that’s it.”


Still, Aneesa pleaded with Jisela to separate personalized relationships from game moves and chided her for blurring the lines. No matter how hard she tried, though, Jisela seemed unwilling to budge.


“There’s one objective here and it’s…not to coddle a grown-ass woman and convince her that I’m a good person,” Aneesa mentioned sternly, though she was ultimately moved to tears.


In “Ring Cling,” Jisela and Big Easy pulled off an elimination-round angry against Nehemiah and his choice for partner, the dominant Kendal. And while an injured Jisela celebrated the unlikely victory, she also seemed insistent on mourning a lost friendship.
