"She (Tori Deal) was a rock. She had just won the swimming challenge. She's very comfortable in the water. So I was just like, "This is me against me at this point." I was nervous. I've never treaded water that long. I was trying to pretend I was on a beach waiting for my margarita. I was doing everything I could, but it was definitely the craziest elimination that I never expected in my life."

She added:

"Me and Tori finally go head-to-head in elimination, this is everything that it's come down to. And they throw us in the middle of the ocean and say swim. And I'm like, "Wait, what? Don't die." So in a way, I'm happy really with how it all ended."

During her recent interview, The Challenge 40 star Cara Maria Sorbello shared how she gave her "best effort" but still lost against Tori Deal. She said that because of the "time disadvantage", she came second, and as a result, she was eliminated.

The female participant mentioned it was her "fault," but added that she "did well." Further in her interview, Cara shared about how she had made a "lot of friends." She said she had an "incredible" season, referring to The Challenge 40.

"That elimination, I did very well until the very end. I did everything I could do. And I think at the end of the day I won in so many ways, especially not having to do that final because I feel like it's going to be a lot of swimming. With that plus a popularity vote, maybe it's good that I ended where I ended. Honestly, I had an incredible season."
