MTV returned with an all-new, explosive episode of 'The Challenge: Total Madness' this week. The focus was on anything but the game at hand. One of the highlights happened to be the showdown between Kaycee Clark and Bayleigh Dayton. The former friends share a rich and long-standing history from their 'Big Brother' days. But none of the two could respect what they had for each other. 

Kaycee flirted unabashedly and she did the same with Bayleigh when they were on 'Big Brother,' however, something changed over the months and now Nany Gonzalez seems to have replaced her. During one of the green-room interviews, Kaycee said that they shared a bond and Bayleigh helped her stay sane but Nany is a way better friend than her. Such claims would hurt anyone who is looking to find support in her once-good-friend on a game show that is festering with opportunists who make equations just to survive or get a new storyline. It hurt Bayleigh when she learned how Kaycee changed with time and that she has no one she can call her her friend. 

Meanwhile, fans are calling Kaycee out for distancing herself from Bayleigh and cozying up to Nany, who was eliminated this week. 

"Bayleigh is a Saint for giving Kaycee this air time. It literally took Dee being edited out of the show for Kaycee to get a story arc. She’s doing the lords work calling out the couch#TheChallenge35 #thechallenge," a fan commented, another wrote: "Kaycee you're just mad Bayleigh chose King Swaggy over your **** ass stop lying we can see right through it #TheChallengeTotalMadness #TheChallenge #TheChallenge35."

"Who watches big brother on here? Need someone to tell me if Kaycee & Bayleigh were a couple or just friends? #TheChallenge went crazy between the two of them arguing," a viewer asked, to which another responded: "They were most definitely not a together. Bailey was all about Swaggy from day one. Kaycee flirted ALOT with every girl on that show as part of her game plan and it got her far. (I do think she had a crush on Bayleigh BUT Bayleigh was definitely all about Swaggy)."
