The Challenge
It was early heartbreak for the trash - talkingLoveIslandduo Cely Vasquez and Javonny Vega on the premiere ofThe Challenge : USA , as they were unable to out - untie theBig Brotherpair Kyland Young and Azah Awasum in the elimination challenge . WithSurvivorandBig Brotheralliances control the game from the onset , Cely and Javonny find themselves as one of the squad on the chopping stop after Tyson Apostol and Angela Rummans won the first challenge .
Cely and Javonny were in beneficial spirits about being first boots , though they lamented how much time they put into getting in tip top build only for their game to crumble instantly . In a conversation withScreen Rant , they bring out if they were strategizing as severely asAmazing Racecast member James Wallington and what parts of their game they felt were the secure .

in conclusion , Cely spills the details on a osculation that almost took place between her and another contestant on the night the cast went out for drinks . After all , she and Javonny number fromLove Islandand they were n’t afraid to philander their agency to the top if necessary .
Screen Rant : It ’s never easy being the first ones eliminated . What were the feelings watch it back last night ?
Cely Vasquez : I ’m so happy . We take care so good on camera . I articulate we ’re still hot .
Javonny Vega : Love Island , we made it look lit . I ’m glad we were able to leave with a bang , but I wish we were capable to stick more .
Cely : It was brusk and sweet , but unquestionably sweet . I ’m happy I get out with Javonny and we did n’t look like idiots out there .
It would have been nice to have seen more from you both when it came to the societal politicking that was needed to convince Tyson and Angela to keep you around . Were you involved in those conversations as much as James was ?
Cely : perfectly not . That man was getting after it and one affair about me , I articulate I ’m not gon na pray , so I knew what I signed up for and it ’s The Challenge and I ’m not go to be out here solicit them to throw me in because at some spot everyone is going to have to go in and my persuasion process was if we go in and we win , that ’s money in our savings bank and we ’re chillin ' , and it ’s a hazard to prove that we ’re meant to be here because everyone was hating on Love Island . It just sucks that it did n’t work out in our favor but we were out there working so freakin ' severely .
Javonny : I avow , but yeah I was n’t run to kiss ass either so we were quick to go to war . We were ready to do what we needed to do .
Cely : If we would ’ve won , me and Javonny would have never stopped talk sh*t .
Javonny : I would ’ve been utter sh*t all Clarence Day .
Honestly , that ’s a good approach . If you ’d won , you would ’ve had more money in the bank . Did you expect everyone to be run after theLove Islandcast move in or was that a surprise .
Javonny : Honestly , it was n’t a surprisal because everybody was going to descend after everybody . Me , I wanted to get rid of the Survivor people because they ’ve already done these type of game . They were on the island isolated for more than a month , so they already had a learning ability to amount in to make headway and they were senior than us . Everybody there was in their 30s . The whole Survivor gang was 40 class one-time , so they were quondam head , so I was like , damn we ’ve aim ta get them out of here first . I was already tell Cinco and James . But anybody was give way to come in after anybody regardless .
Cely : Going into it , I was like , we can either be the goats , where they say , ' Keep Love Island in so we can mystify them in the finale , ' but then I suppose after the first Challenge where we all did our thing and we did so well , then they peeped that we are challenger , so then I was like , ' Yeah they ’re coming after us , for sure . '
Javonny : It just suck up because I thought it was going to be a ballot system . We had the act if it was going to be a vote . Cely would ’ve been good , I would ’ve been good because we had strong numbers compare to anybody else so I think it would ’ve been a balloting system , but I imagine the victor vote so that form of like f**ked us .
How closely was that elimination challenge ? It looked like you had a piddling while to go .
Javonny : We were far . Like from here to Hong Kong .
Cely : HAHA here to Hong Kong . It did n’t start off that manner though ! I feel like there was a moment where we looked over and we were like , we could literally win this , and then in the middle of it , they just took the freaking lead .
Javonny : They work out it out .
Cely : We made one haywire move , I think , and then it just fed us for the rest of the f*ing time .
Was that first challenge as easy as everyone made it seem ? Only one team did n’t get the mathematics right . Or was it harder than it appear ?
Javonny : That first challenge , when Kyland and Azah made that one error , everybody knew lease ’s take our time and maybe not go fast and make that erroneous belief . Off one error , masses learn off other people ’s mistakes . Those 22 flight of stairs of steps , the direction Azah came back down , she damn nigh almost passed out and died , so that was n’t go to be me and Cely for a fact . We were not trying to do that .
Cely : We were like , ' We are not going back up . ' It was helpful to see Azah and Kyland go first because everyone at that point was like , ' Alright ' and seeing Kyra and Cashel take their time , we were like that ’s what we demand to do .
We try Kyland let the cat out of the bag about how much he work out before he got out on the show . Did you prepare heavily as well ?
Cely : Yes ! And that ’s why I was so mad I live home first . I trained for months .
Javonny : I was running like 25 miles a workweek , working out , I put on weight for this show !
Cely : Justine and I were laugh about this yesterday because Justine and I trained together for month and she was like , ' B*tch you ran up that five - mile Benny Hill for nothing . And you were beating me , too . '
At least you set out in better shape . You got yourself looking better . Feeling better . It ’s not all disconfirming .
Cely : full point . Snatched .
Cely , I roll in the hay you and Justine are best friends . If you had a chance to partner with someone else in the biz besides Javonny recollective - term , who would it be ?
Cely : Honestly , I love everyone in there , but I love Derek , James , Domenick , Enzo . Those are people I think I would have by all odds gravitated towards in the game , if I would ’ve stay put .
Javonny : If I was n’t with Celybird , I would have went with Angela , Sarah , Justine or even Johnny Cash ! Or Shannon ! Or Shan ! Anybody who would ’ve been ready to blab out sh*t with me .
What skills were you able to take fromLove Islandthat helped you on The Challenge ?
Cely : I tried to kiss Enzo on that one Nox out . I said , ' I ’m on the untimely show , clearly . '
Javonny : Enzo was so pump . Enzo was like , ' Yeah man , I ’m ‘bout to grab one of those Love Island girls tonight . '
Cely : He was so scared . I literally went up to him and was like , ' buss me ' and he freaked out .
Javonny : Enzo was so frightened to kiss Cely man it was crazy .
Who are you rooting for to win and who are you expecting will win , accept you do n’t hump the answer ?
Javonny : I want Cash and Justine to win .
Cely : PERIOD ! I ’m expecting and I want Justine to get ahead and I believe that she ’s give-up the ghost to get my revenge for me and she ’s going to go crazy and she ’s move to win the whole thing .
