If the sudden departure ofTurabi “Turbo” Camkiranon Wednesday night’s episode ofThe Challenge: War of the Worlds 2left you a bit confused, you’re not alone.
When the cast showed up for the next day’s challenge, host TJ Lavin informed them that the Turkish reality star had been sent home.
Jordan also points out that both he and Turbo were given a warning when they had a big argument just a few weeks earlier. “We all get a second chance,” he says. “We both got a stern talking-to: ‘Don’t let it happen again.’… This is the game — you’ve gotta be a professional. When security comes in and says, ‘This is over,’ it’s gotta be over. It’s not your job to start fighting security.
He continues, “So we already had altercation No. 1. Now, we have altercation No. 2.”
Asked if he thinks a language barrier is to blame for Turbo’s understanding of the show’s rules, Jordan says, “Turbo absolutely knew that he could be sent home. He has been sent home from shows before. This is not his first physical altercation on a show, whether it was a U.S. show or a Turkey show… He’s someone who respects people in the armed forces and the security positions. … So I don’t know if it was just the weight of everything coming down. People snap. People snap all the time. I don’t believe it was just the sh—talking that got him that worked up. Maybe so. Maybe I am that good at pressing buttons — but I do think he was very aware that he could go home for his actions.”
“I certainly worry about people getting physically aggressive,”The Challengeexecutive producer and showrunner Justin Booth told PEOPLE in July, shortly after the season wrapped production. “At night, we have three big dudes, and most of the cast is well aware that we take it very seriously. We don’t put up with [physical altercations] at all, and it usually wouldn’t take but one security guard to calm everybody down. In a couple of cases when people have been kicked off, we employ every security guard.”
