Was show 'rigged' to eliminate Big T? Confused 'The Challenge' fans wonder if production did it to save CT

'Ok now I see the rigging in full effect, how did BIG t go into two eliminations back to back,'a fan commented

Amber Borzotra beat Tula 'Big T' Fazakarley in the Hall Brawl task. It was not easy because both were strong and didn't stop at anything to keep their gold skulls. Moments after host TJ Lavin announced that it would be a women's elimination, the ladies were emotional because they have been friends on the show and going against one another in an aggressive task was the last thing they probably had in mind.

However, they shook off the sappiness and got to work. The next thing we know, they are trying to push through the hall with all their might. Thankfully, they didn't injure themselves in the process. Even though Big T came on strong and did her best, Amber was quick and able to pace her way to the buzzer. Big T was quite the sport and took the loss in her stride. Before leaving the crater, she even thanked her partner Chris 'CT' Tamburello for supporting her through and through.

'The Challenge' Spoilers: Does Tula 'Big T' Fazakerley eliminate Aneesa Ferreira in the Fire Escape task?

Meanwhile, fans think the elimination was rigged because Episode 15 saw a women's elimination in which Big T went up against Aneesa Ferreira in the Fire Escape task. As per the pattern, this week it should have been a men's elimination and instead, Kyle Christie should have fought CT.

"Ok now I see the rigging in full effect, how did BIG t go into two eliminations back to back #TheChallenge36," a fan commented, while another shared: "I’m sad Big T stays getting sabotaged ugh #TheChallenge36."

"They saving CT again. Big T jus went into elimination. Why isn’t it a guys elimination? Even the guys knew that they were going in against each other. That’s why Kyle was really mad. #TheChallenge36," one user tweeted. "They got the eliminations back in regular order with the men, women, men, women pattern but now when CT is called down they get it out of order again? josh vs ct devin vs darrell gabby vs nany darrell vs cory aneesa vs big t so how come this isn’t men’s? #TheChallenge36," another wrote.

"Wait so @ChallengeMTV has been switching eliminations with each gender (ie. fire escape was girls then guys then girls for each variation) but all the sudden it’s a GIRLS hall brawl when the last hall brawl was Ambers? FUCKING RIGGED! IT SHOULD BE KYLE VS CT #TheChallenge36," one user pointed out. "This screams RIGGED to me because how is it that the men aren't competing when just last week it was a women's elimination?? Isn't it supposed to go back and forth?? Hmmm #TheChallenge36," another tweeted.
