Battle Camp premiered on Netflix on April 23, bringing together several stars from the streamer's reality show lineup to compete in intense physical and mental challenges for a chance to win the $250,000 prize.
Gabi, who was part of the Wolves Camp, impressed her fellow contestants with her impressive athleticism and established herself as one of the toughest players in the lineup.
As the episodes went on, Eagles team member Tony grew affectionate towards Gabi and even flirted with her despite her constantly reminding him that she had a boyfriend.
Unfortunately, at the start of episode 4, despite having just one spot on the Wheel of Misfortune, Gabi was unlucky eliminated when the pointer stopped at her name.
Meanwhile, Tony, who had four spots on the wheel, was visibly hurt upon her elimination. The next morning, he felt that he couldn't continue in the show anymore and self-eliminated himself later in the episode.
In her interview with Netflix Tudum, Gabi shared that even though Toni lives just 10 minutes away from her, she hasn't seen him since her Battle Camp elimination.
Additionally, she revealed that Tony contacted her on Instagram the morning after her elimination, telling her he had self-eliminated because of her.
"Tony lives 10 minutes from me. Literally. 10 minutes from me. I haven’t seen this man since he was sobbing [when I was eliminated]" she shared.
The Battle Camp star added:
"Tony followed me on Instagram the next day when I was about to fly home. I was like, “Tony, you aren’t supposed to have your phone. What’s going on?” And he was like, “Yeah, I kind of left.” Before my elimination, he said, “If you get kicked off, I'm leaving.” I said, “No, you’re not.”
Gabi added that the two had a few conversations after they came home from their elimination. However, in terms of dating, she revealed that she was single at the moment and was planning on being that way for some time.
Cheer docuseries star noted that she could have had Tony if she wanted to, but she is being very picky with her next boyfriend. She clarified that even though she couldn't date Tony, he had a special place in her heart.
