Tori Deal and Jordan Wiseley were The Challenge power couple for years. Sadly, there seemed to be a lot of animosity between them after they called off their engagement. Tori and Jordan both moved on, and now, they’re competing against each other in The Challenge Season 38. While Jordan entered the competition late knowing that Tori was competing, Tori had no idea Jordan would be arriving.

Jordan almost didn’t enter the competition due to his history with Tori. “They called me, and you know — Tori is a big part of my life,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “Those things run really deep, so going back into that environment with her was something that I was very scared of and honestly, that was a huge reason for me not going.” He then said he had to “man up” and get back in the game, as he loves The Challenge and didn’t want to throw in the towel just yet.

The Challenge Season 38 features Jordan Wiseley and Tori Deal’s emotional reunion. The exes have a difficult face-to-face conversation that ends in tears. Ultimately, they support and love each other, and they will work as allies until the end. At one point, the cameras show them cuddling and sleeping in the same bed, which some fans may believe points to a possible reconciliation.

Jordan told the Death, Taxes, and Bananas podcast that he didn’t want to cuddle with Tori. “Just so everyone knows, she asked me to come in there,” Jordan said. “I didn’t just sneak in there. … I was being a good guy. She was looking for some company and she was like, ‘Do you want to come cuddle?’ And you know what I said? ‘No.’ And then she asked me a second time. I was like, ‘Alright.'”

Jordan then verified that he and Tori only cuddled and did nothing more.
