'The Challenge': Did Lolo Jones ruin Nam Vo's rookie season? Fans say he was tired of 'carrying her weight'

Lolo and Nam were partners but they were never on the same page

Nam Vo's journey on 'The Challenge: Double Agents' was cut short by a back injury that he was hoping to overcome using medical attention. But the experts thought it was best he left for home and took some rest before he can be up on his feet again. This was crushing for the rookie because he was looking forward to competing even when it felt like his nerves were exploding every time he moved. 

This comes after his ex-partner Lolo Jones quit. He was blindsided by it. They never discussed her self-elimination and that was quite expected given how they had been distant lately. The Olympian would always complain that he would not support her intensity and that was the reason why they'd end up losing daily challenges. It hurt Nam because he believed he supported her throughout.

Meanwhile, fans think that it was Lolo's fault that Nam is not part of the show anymore. Because Lolo didn't work as hard in the last few tasks, Nam overworked and injured his back. Some even joked that he may have pulled his nerves from "carrying her weight."

"Can we now blame Lolo for ruining Nam’s rookie season? I was actually excited as hell to see him compete and everything... #TheChallenge36," a fan commented, while another shared: "Shows that Nam was carrying the whole while having Lolo as partner. He deserved better LOL #TheChallenge36."

"This is 100% Lolo's fault! If her weak ass would've pulled her weight during the dailies, Nam wouldn't have overworked himself & broken his back #TheChallenge36," a user pointed out. "Lolo is the reason why Nam is hurt. If she would’ve pulled her weight and not flop so hard maybe Nam wouldn’t be in this much pain #TheChallenge36," another wrote. "Nam's back was so used to carrying Lolo, didn't know how to respond when he didn't have to any more #TheChallenge36," a fan tweeted. "Not only was Nam partnered with Lolo for half the season, but now he has to leave because of his back...#TheChallenge36," another posted.
