Cara Maria Sorbello skipped Tori Deal and Jordan Wiseley’s engagement party

After dating for two years, Tori Deal and Jordan Wiseley returned for The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 (2019), both winning two eliminations and turning coat to Team UK.

After one Proving Ground performance, Wiseley dropped to one knee and proposed to Deal, who enthusiastically said yes.

Following the proposal, the other cast members threw an engagement party for them. While Calafiore showed up and congratulated the couple, Sorbello memorably opted to stay in her room and read a book.

She felt she didn’t want to be fake, but others thought she should’ve put the game aside to celebrate the two.

Over a year later, the veteran shaded the proposal in her Instagram Story, congratulating another couple for taking the next step in their relationship.

The veteran closed her caption, throwing shade at Deal and Wiseley’s separation, writing, “I have a special sense for knowing when it’s the real deal,” seemingly implying the two had a fake relationship.
