What is Jay Starrett's net worth? Eliminated 'The Challenge' agent tears up as he wants to 'take care of family'

Jay fought Leroy at the fire escape elimination challenge

MTV aired 'The Challenge: Double Agents' Episode 7 on January 27 and it was laden with twists. So much that no one saw it coming. Not even host TJ Lavin when the men decided to simply hang on to the load attached to the moving chopper. He was aghast at first and once he had some time to process the fact that they didn't make any effort to compete, Lavin called them out for falling behind. 

What are the twists?

The fight between Fessy Shafaat, Devin Walker and Josh Martinez was another surprise. They brought the house down with their yelling and pushing. Nany Gonzalez, Aneesa Ferreira and Kaycee Clark tried to stop them but the trio couldn't be calmed down. Security stepped in and that was when everyone went back to their rooms. 

Even though there was a sense of apology among these men, Lavin punished them by nullifying the vote they had cast. Even then Jay Starrett and Theresa Jones were declared compromised agents.

Eventually, Leroy Garrett took on Jay at the fire escape and won his gold skull. Jay put up a brave front, said that Leroy was taller and faster, hence had an added advantage. As he continued with his exit interview, Jay broke down into tears said he wanted the money to take care of his family. 

What is Jay's net worth?

According to an Idol Celebs report, Jay's net worth is somewhere between $1 and $5 million. 

What are fans saying?

Fans have weighed in with their two cents. Some feel it was Theresa's fault that Jay is out and that he was robbed of his place on the show. 

"Wish @Jay__Qs Would have gone all the way! That boy got heart! #TheChallenge36 He’s been a great addition to @ChallengeMTV," a fan commented while another shared: "Ugh so bummed Jay went home!!! He was my favorite of the guys..but happy for Leroy, he deserved it #TheChallenge36."

"Jay was talkin all that tough shit now he crying. BYEEEEE #TheChallenge36," a fan tweeted. "I lost one of my favorites tonight. I really hope Jay makes it to the final one day, he has a lot heart and is a great competitor. Fucking Theresa why do you have to be such a mess," one user expressed.
