Suddenly Single: How Did The Challenge Veterans React To The War Of The Worlds Twist?

Cara, Hunter, Nany, Paulie and Wes have only known this Challenge season with a rookie by their side -- however right now, the war will be fought individually, and an eventual sole victor will emerge.


"There's no more teams -- it's every man for themselves," TJ dropped to the Veterans and Prospects while in tonight's brand-new episode. So how did some take the news? While Wes "wasn't that happy" since he and Dee were "working so well with each other Paulie was "filled with joy."


"I had a feeling that everybody was targeting our team, because they wanted us out because we were strong," the Big Brother vet recently revealed to MTV News. Right now, as a solitary, all of these men who were also scared to take a shot at my face, right now they have to come at me individually. I really don't think that there really is one male competitor that wants to be able to see me on the Killing Floor."


Meanwhile, his girlfriend felt conflicted about not having the Love Island export by her side.


"I loved having Theo as a partner, however he was incredibly tied in to the U.K. Alliance," Cara explained. "I wasn't fond of Bear, wasn't fond of Ash. Being independent and getting to play our own game really changed everything. So it was a good thing plus a bad thing."


And although Nany described Turbo as a "awesome partner," she was ready for this new competitive development.


"I feel like I perform better Once I am a single the Real World alum stated. "For example, Free Agents. I was on my own, and that was the ideal season I might have ever been on. And I made it to a final. Any time you...Have the stress of another partner and letting someone down all of the time, that sort of weighs on you plus it weighs on me."


Lastly, Hunter was irritated that he and Georgia were dismantled -- and yes it brought back memories of his last Challenge experience.


"I really wanted to win it with a partner who actually cared about me," he asserted, while referring to what unfolded at the Final Reckoning finish line.
