In episode 15 of The Challenge, a shocking turn of events happened, making fan-favorite Cara Maria Sorbello face a devastating elimination. With the finale almost approaching, Cara left the show after facing defeat against Tori.

After Tori lost the daily challenge, Jordan was responsible for choosing the person she would go against for 'The Final Elimination.' Between his choices, Rachel and Cara, Jordan picked the latter to honor his friendship with Rachel. As T.J. revealed the elimination challenge to be a swimming challenge, the 38-year-old knew it wasn't her day. After struggling and fighting for her place in the finale, she finally gave up and went home.
