Why did Jay Mitchell quit 'Battle of the Exes II'? 'The Challenge: All Stars' contestant eyes 'redemption'
THE BRONX, NEW YORK: Jay Mitchell is poised to make his comeback in 'The Challenge: All Stars' Season 4 of this year. During the 'Battle of the Exes II' season, Jay Mitchell and his partner at the time, Jenna Compono, decided to quit the show before its conclusion.
The duo concluded that they were unable to complete the final leg of the challenge, prompting their decision to withdraw from the competition. Despite their departure, they still managed to secure a third-place finish.
It's uncommon for contestants to quit a competition, particularly when they are within reach of victory. Therefore, their departure past the midway point of the season was disappointing for both the contestants and the audience alike. However, there's no shame in acknowledging one's physical limitations and making a practical decision based on them.
He recently took to Instagram, to post about his "redemption" on 'The Challenge: All Stars'. In the caption he wrote," It took 8 years but I’m back for some redemption, baby!"
