“I was going through a lot before I got there. So I just honestly wanted to look at this season and have an amazing time. So for there to be such a hot cast and then also such amazing competitors, it’s really nice to get that balance.”

In the preview for season 37, Cory is seen strategizing while his competitors are focused on showmances.
“When I used to go on the show, I was single. I didn’t have kids, I was like, ‘Who’s going to turn up?’ [And] I had my fun, I was real distracted on the show,” Cory admits. “Now, I go to the show and I feel like I’m locked in. I know why I’m there. … I have a lot of people at home that depend on me. So when I go to The Challenge, I’m clocking into work. I’m away from my family and I’m there focusing and determined.”
The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies premieres on August 11, 2021, on MTV.
