When it comes to reality competitions, there’s always someone who has the cop the title of ‘first to be eliminated’. Last night on the inaugural Australian season of The Challenge, it was Billy Dib and Suzan Mutesi who were sadly booted from the show.

“I’m a bit sad that I had to leave the house but I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Suzan told WHO exclusively. 

“To be honest I was really surprised by everything that played out, but at the end of the day I wasn’t physically and emotionally in the right place, I didn’t want to go against my friends.”

Speaking on her rather firey relationship with partner Billy, Suzan said that whilst she had no regrets about her time on the show, she wished she had ‘picked a different partner’.

That being said, Suzan has made it clear that there is no bad blood between the pair. 

Speaking directly to Billy, Suzan said “you are loved, you are respected and I wish you a quick recovery”, referencing the professional boxer’s recent cancer diagnosis. 

“Even though I disagreed with how he played the game, I respect him,” Suzan said. 

“I just want him to thrive”.

Speaking on that controversial shower dalliance between Bachelor alumni Ciarran Stott and former Love Islander Audrey Kanongara, Suzan said whilst it was ‘surprising’, there was more to their shower encounter than what was shown on the screen. 

“Things heat up with alcohol, excitement and whipped cream,” said Suzan. 

“They are two consenting adults who knew what they were doing and are now being held accountable by their partners.

“Audrey was my roommate so I can also confirm that we had a genuine problem with our shower, it looks the longest in the whole house to heat up.”

And on her own potential controversies?

Whilst her time on the show was short-lived, it wasn’t drama free…or was it?

“There was a false rumour that me and Sugar had a fight, but this isn’t true, please don’t believe that,” said Suzan. 

“She was my roommate and I loved our moments in the house together.”

According to Suzan, she is placing her odds on former Australian Ninja Warrior Troy to win. 

“He [Troy] has the strength of a lion, I would love to see him go far [in the competition], he is such a gentleman, such a sweet man.”
