“Unfortunately I haven’t seen the second episode yet,” Beth tells EW.
I’m excited to watch the episode to see what [she] was saying."
Did you really think that was true in the moment?

BETH STOLARCZYK:Oh yeah, for sure.
But see, this just shows her character and how she can’t be trusted.
How was it different in person?

Basically, I apologized to her, “Sorry for calling you out.
I shouldn’t have done that.
I lost my cool.
‘The Challenge All Stars: Rivals’.Paramount+
I just felt like you were a cheater duringAll Stars3, and it was upsetting to me.
I was hoping that she was going to take responsibility for her side, and she never did.
We saw where your rivalry began onAll Stars 3 you made cheating allegations against her.

Is that where your problem with her began?
It started before then.
And I was like, “What?
That’s not true.
She’s saying that to try and divide us.
Why is she trying to sour my game?
I just got here and there’s so many other girls that she should be worried about.
Why is she targeting me?”
And then when we did that challenge, she was targeting me, trying to get me eliminated first.
So it was just building, and I was like, “You know what?
You’re a cheater, and I’m going to call you out on it.”
There was steam coming out of my ears.
The whole thing, it was just really icky, and yeah, I lost my cool.
I’m not proud of it.
I’m sorry that I lost my cool.
Unlike a lot of people onThe Challenge, I actually apologized.
Because you are responsible for the problems in your life.
You created those problems.
I didn’t create those problems.
Where did those cheating allegations come from?
Is that something you saw or heard from someone else?
Well, I’m not the only person that heard it.
That’s what I will tell you.
And I mean, also witnessing them, they’ve got their hands all over each other.
You’re a married woman who goes on a reality show and acts like that.
It’s not appropriate.
It upset her, which is understandable.
And I’m sorry that I did it.
I shouldn’t have.
Did you make a run at apologize to her before now?
Actually I did make a run at reach out to her.
I just wanted to talk to her about it, but that never happened.
So yeah, this was the first time that we did talk about it.
This is a real rivalry going on here.
I feel wronged in a way.
I meant my apology.
If I wasn’t really sorry, I wouldn’t say it.
In your exit confessionals, you seemed to think you two patched things up.
Jonna made it clear she did not feel the same.
Where does your relationship stand today?
But she is unwilling to do the work on her side.
How do you think this season compares to your past appearances?
I’m gone too soon.
I would’ve loved to continue to compete.
I hope I get another opportunity to compete onThe Challengeor another show in the future.
I’m still young I’m only going to be 56 in two weeks.
It’s on my vision board.
I can smell it.
I can taste it.
Well speaking of that, I’ve got to ask about the quitting.
You quit the elimination against Jonna inAll Stars 3.
You quit the daily challenge in this episode.
What’s up with that?
Your goal was to knock the other person off.
It was just stupid.
So I blew up and I was like, well, “Forget it.
You guys are cheaters.
I’m not a cheater.
You want to compete against me and not cheat, I’m there.”
I can’t stand cheaters, so that’s what happened.
And this week’s episode?
It’s no secret that extreme heights over cement, that’s my kryptonite.
And I’m not the only person that is afraid of heights.
There were many people that got as far as Jonna and I did.
And also, I didn’t trust Jonna.
That is not the way I was going to go down.
So yeah, I did not jump off the building.
I’m sorry if I disappointed anyone, but that’s scary.
And it’s real.
And I was crying because I wish I could do it.
Also, really deep down, I did not trust my partner.
I am a mom.
I’ve got two kids, and I’ve got to worry about my health and my safety.
What do you want to say to all the critics who hate to see people quit onThe Challenge?
I’m not perfect, and I’m afraid of heights, and I’m sorry.
But I am not the only one.
Did you get the call for season 40?
Unfortunately, season 40 just didn’t work out for me.
ButAll Stars 5was right after season 40, so I’m happy that I got to doAll Stars 5.
