Did Tori Deal friendzone Fessy Shafaat? Here's what really happened after 'The Challenge: Double Agents' ended
Fessy Shafaat wears his heart on his sleeves. He may be shy but is fairly forthcoming when it comes to expressing his thoughts. He won't be that way with everyone though. While working out, he had a heart-to-heart with Cory Wharton and said how he felt "torn" between Tori Deal and Gabby Allen.
Cory said that even though his chemistry with the 'Love Island' star is evident, it's Tori he should be pursuing. He even jokingly predicted their relationship timeline and said they will date for a year and travel to Mexico together. While it left Fessy puzzled, Tori dished on their relationship in a post-episode segment. She made it amply clear that what she had with Fessy was purely "platonic."

Clearing the air around dating rumors on the Official Challenge Podcast, Tori confirmed that they did "link up" after filming ended to figure what would work for them. Unfortunately, they realized they were not made to be a couple. "Fessy and I definitely linked up for a second to see what was good. But the truth is that Fessy and I found out we are definitely better as friends, so Cory was wrong. We didn’t date for a year. We didn’t go to Mexico,” Tori explained. She continued, “We’re just homies and that’s it, so I’m just gonna say that right now. It’s all platonic.”
Even though she debunked some of the false claims at one go, the vacation photos remain a mystery. Soon after Tori and Fessy shared a hot tub moment, fans did some sleuthing and found out that they were visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands together. Although in the picture that has been doing the rounds, the faces of the subjects are not visible, making it all the more difficult to confirm if they were really there, having a good time.
What's more, Fessy's bombshell of a confessional in one of the earlier episodes of 'The Challenge: Double Agents' left fans with burning questions and a very valid doubt: Did Tori cheat on Jordan Wisely with Fessy? And the answer is no! In the said interview, she assured her listeners that she and Jordan did split up soon after she returned from the filming location, but it had nothing to do with a third person. "Like obviously there’s a lot that goes into two people breaking up. So just putting that out there. I’m sending all love to Jordan, he’s a good dude,” she added.
While Tori was eliminated a few weeks ago, Fessy has survived. Catch all the new episodes of 'The Challenge: Double Agents' every Wednesday at 8/7c. For more information, check your local listings.
