So, who fails elimination first from the new series? According to The Challenge: USA spoilers from PinkRose reposted to Reddit, Javonny Vega and Cely Vazquez, two contestants originating from Love Island, get eliminated first, according to the spoilers.

Javonny Vega made his reality TV premiere with Love Island Season 3. He’s a 26-year-old real estate investor from Boca Raton, Florida. Cely Vazquez made her debut with Love Island Season 2. She’s a legal secretary living in Sacramento, California. Both Javonny and Vega come from reality shows that didn’t require much physical prowess to play, so this might be a major factor in why the other competitors potentially target them.

PinkRose also gave more insights into the filming schedule. Daily challenges happen on Mondays, while eliminations take place on Tuesdays. Wednesdays are off days, Thursdays are another daily challenge, Fridays are elimination days, and the cast has weekends off.
