She remembers commiserating withher boyfriend and fellowChallengecompetitor Paulie Calafioreafter she finished filming her elimination.
“I was at the hotel and I’m like, ‘Paulie, I’m a loser!
I lost!'”
she says with a laugh.
“And he’s like, ‘Cara, want to talk about it?
I f—ingwent out on a beanbag toss,alright?’
But theChallengeeliminations are always hit or miss.”
“But I don’t count this as a loss.
This is not on my record.
But I think it’s important in keeping you humble.
I’m back in it, and I’m just so happy to be back.
There are learning lessons to everything.”
“I wanted to cause chaos,” Cara Maria says.
“I’m always going to fight my ass off, always.
I’m never, ever going to follow the crowd.
I’m always going to do my own thing.
And the most important is I’m going to have fun while I’m doing it.”
And then I did it and my brain went into dummy mode.
I was totally f—ing fried.
Brain was dead."
Walking into this, I’m not going head-to-head physically.
If there’s a mental component, could be your day, could not be your day."
She pauses, then adds with another laugh, “But give me a Pole Wrestle!
Don’t make me think!”
“I really want to win again, I can’t help it.
But I’m not going to do the ass-kissing to get there.
I just have have to do it the hard way.”
Spoken like a true champion.
