Nehemiah rejoins The Challenge season 40 cast after being checked out by a doctor

During part 1 of The Challenge season 40 reunion special, Nehemiah walked off stage while Tina was talking about how the show had changed since she had first joined the franchise. She said it had "gone to sh*t," but before she could continue, Nehemiah abruptly left.

The host, Maria Menounos said they had "lost" the reality star, while Johnny Bananas explained that he had stage fright.

Olivia explained that the cast member was hungover and about to get sick. Since the male competitor in The Challenge: Battle of the Eras forgot to take off his mic, sounds of him throwing up in a bucket could be heard on stage.

As Tina continued her answer, a male cast member said someone should cut Nehemiah's mic. Tina asked what was said, and Tori Deal explained that the reality star was throwing up backstage and they could hear him.

"No way!" Maria said.

She added that they could get someone to check on The Challenge: Battle of the Eras cast member while Jordon suppressed a laugh. Later in the episode, Nehemiah rejoined the cast after being checked by a doctor.

Several other notable things happened during the episode, including two couples revealing their relationship status. Devin and Michele and Theo and Olivia revealed that they were still together, while Devin and Michele got into an argument with Bananas about interfering in their relationship.

Fans of the reality show commented on Nehemiah getting sick during the segment online, and were shocked to hear noises of him throwing up during the reunion.
