The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras star Jodi Weatherton opens up about her elimination
In her interview, The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras star Jodi Weatherton shared that she didn't know how the "leader thing" would work in the task. According to Jodi, the major twist was each era's representatives being at risk of elimination.
However, she did feel it was a good opportunity for her to prove she was a valuable player to her fellow teammates. Jodi explained:
"I also didn't know how the game was going to progress, that we're going to do this whole leader thing. And so then I felt like I needed that reassurance to move forward and feel confident in our dynamic. I had no idea."
She also shared the initial anxiety she felt while competing in the final task. For Jodi, it was risky and scary to think that one wrong move could send her home. She mentioned that the "mental component" of the entire situation contributed to the physical aspect of the challenge as well.
She was struggling to stay in the present and maintain her focus on the game, due to her anxiety. The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras star further stated:
"For eliminations, I do get that anxiety because it's so final. You lose; you go home. And so especially with something that feels very much like a test like this one did. It's not just a physical thing; there's a mental component as well."
