CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'Bachelor Nations' alum Tayshia Adams lost the chance of winning a whopping $200,000 Prime Video's 'The GOAT' because of her strategic move to support her close friend Joe Amabile. In the recently released episodes, Tayshia was voted off when 10 out of 13 people put her name down.

The reality star was leaning on her friend Joe Amabile for support, but he failed to show loyalty towards their friendship. Tayshia initially was at the top at the premiere of the show and also won the first competition. She was also granted immunity. Unfortunately, the reality star's team lost the second challenge and one of the contestants needed to go.

Tayshia was part of a girl alliance with CJ Franco, Paola Mayfield, Lauren Speed-Hamilton, Kristen Doute, Jill Zarin and Da'Vonne Rogers. She exposed the alliance in front of Joe after the girls in the group were planning to vote against her friend. However, she lost credibility and support among the girls. Joe also made it clear he would vote off Tayshia if she returned to her alliance.

Despite the loss, the reality star claimed that she didn't regret her daring moves in the competition. She noted in the confessional interview, "I'm happy with my performance." Tayshia added, "I think I clearly did a little bit right. I think I'm a threat, and I do it because I care, and at the end of the day, I think I made some good connections with good people here."

'The GOAT' contestant Joe Amabile reflected on Tayshia Adams' elimination and their current friendship status. In a recent interview with US Weekly, Joe shared, "I think it’s all good between us at the moment." He explained, "It was either I was going home or she was going home."

'Bachelor Nation' star noted, "And you can't even vote for yourself and I’m not going to give up." He further shared that he was trying to play the game as best as he could and eliminating Tayshia was the only way he could stay in the competition. He added, "At the end of the day, the hard truth is in a game like this there could only be one winner."
