On MTV’s The Challenge: Battle of the Exes, viewers began the season expecting drama and fights, and they haven’t been disappointed so far. But for every crazy moment the cameras catch for those watching at home, there are at least five more that go unnoticed. And for Challenge competitors Naomi Defensor and Leroy Garrett, most of their drama occurred when they were off the record.
Both Defensor and Garrett knew there was going to be trouble from the very beginning. “I was worried, just because of the relationship we had previously in Las Vegas,” said Garrett, “I thought she was gonna want to hook-up and her mind wouldn’t be focused on the game, and I didn’t know how well she would compete physically because she’s really not athletic like that, so in my mind, I really didn’t think we were gonna make it too far.”
