“I had a feeling,” she says of Tyson and Angela’s decision. “I just knew Kyra [Lizama]Angela was a good friend of mine. So I had a feeling the whole time.” As for them, Javonny says he “didn’t know a soul” on the cast.
Once they did go up against Kyland and Azah, the pair realized they didn’t approach the rope challenge the right way. “Looking back on it, we didn’t start from where the beginning of the rope was,” Javonny explains, adding, “When we finally figured it out, I was like s–t.”
They did some serious smack-talking before the competition – and ended up losing – but Javonny and Cely both stand by their yelling. “I’ll still talk s–t, f–k y’all,” Javonny says, with Cely in agreement: “You’re in the moment, you gotta talk your s–t. It makes you feel good. It’s fine. It’s all love too.”
She jokes that they were “sitting around on vacation” while everyone else was strategizing. “I’m not going to beg not to go in,” she says. “I’m not going to beg. I’m not going to be out here looking dumb.”
They didn’t really talk game with Tyson or Angela before the elimination, Cely says, adding “I’m not even a vegan and I ate your vegan food, Angela. Why would you do this to me?”
