"I just don't want to be here. Oh my God. I'm breaking down. I just felt it today. I had this weird feeling every time I talked to somebody. They just, like, wouldn't... I don't know. And it just hurts so bad. I just feel shocked. And I wish I could have, like, been better for my team," said Irina.

Battle Camp Episode 3: Irina gets emotional after witnessing her name 13 times on the Wheel

The third episode of the Netflix show featured the second elimination. For that, many campmates were nominated. Among them all, a few of the participants' names were on the Wheel multiple times. The person whose name was there most often was Irina, 13 times.

She learned that, along with fellow campmates, her own teammates have also nominated her. After realizing that, she got emotional and walked away sobbing. However, Battle Camp host Taylor Lewan comforted her, and she returned to the elimination event.

While Irina returned to complete the elimination process, many campmates were emotional. Seeing tears in many cast members' eyes, the show host said:

"I think Battle Camp, in a short time, has proved to be a very intense place."

Listening to him, Battle Camp star Gabi, sobbing, said it was the "toughest" decision she had ever made. She told Irina that it was not personal, to which Irina responded, It's okay.

Along with Irina, other nominated campmates were Gabi, Louis, Trey, Lorenzo, and Tony. Their names were on the wheel once, while Irina's was thirteen times.

"Irina, your name is on the Wheel 13 times, but it doesn't mean you're going home. There's still a chance," said the host.

On the contrary, Irina said she wanted to go home. She told her teammates she "trusted" them "so much." It included Louis, Trey, and Gabi.

The Wheel stopped on Irina's name, which indicated her elimination. As the show host mentioned, Irina left without saying anything to anyone. Gabi was still crying.

"I know I'm gonna be okay. I don't even think it's about losing. It's about letting my own self down. And I feel like I really did doubt myself and kind of, like, robbed me of being able to prove myself, which I felt, like, so ready for. And I hope I can learn from this, and I hope I can become a better and stronger person from this," confessed Irina.

The Battle Camp host noted that it was a tough night for everyone. After Irina's elimination, a new campmate will be added in her stead the next day.


All ten episodes of Battle Camp Season 1 are now streaming on Netflix.
