Fessy Shafaat is an open book. He's someone who wears his heart on his sleeves, which explains why he chose to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Cory Wharton about how he felt about Gabby Allen and Tori Deal. Although he called it a "complicated" position to be in, Cory was convinced that it has been Tori all along.

He even jokingly predicted the rumored couple's relationship timeline. Cory predicted that Fessy and Tori will date for a year and travel to Mexico after the show is over. Well, do they? Almost.

'The Challenge' fans did some top-grade sleuthing and found pictures of Tori and Fessy vacationing in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Although their faces are not clear in the photo that has been doing the rounds, it's enough for an assumption.

Obviously, this led to speculations that they were dating, which both of them have categorically denied. However, viewers are not convinced and some even felt that they could be hiding their relationship or else why would MTV air a storyline involving Tori, an eliminated agent.

"Side note: Tori saying nothing happened in the house because she was engaged, Cory said in the confessional Fessy been liking Tori, Milly Mitch said a lot happened we didn’t see, Tori recently said she went into the challenge house with a rocky relationship... #TheChallenge36," a fan commented, while another shared: "Again, this just makes me further believe fessy and tori had something going on. I just know it! #TheChallenge36." 



 



 

"I'm gonna go ahead and assume Fessy and Tori must still be dating? Otherwise why even air this conversation...#TheChallenge36," one user tweeted. "Wow! Can’t believe they included that Fessy has a crush on Tori segment. With Cory saying, I’m sure Tori & Jordan will call it quits.. #TheChallenge36," another pointed out. "First a Tori commercial now a storyline about her. She's been gone, why she still being shown? #TheChallenge36," a fan asked. 



 



 



 

However, there are no signs on Instagram that Fessy is dating either Tori or Gabby. He seems to be enjoying a solo vacation in Dubai. Either that or he has hired a photographer who clicks some of the best shots for his social media feed.
