MTV’s The Challenge Season 37 reunion is here, and it’s about to get messy. Throughout Spies, Lies, and Allies, hookups, betrayals, and disqualifications occurred, sending a number of players at each others’ throats. And it seems Amanda Garcia comes for rookie player Michele Fitzgerald during the reunion. Here’s what a clip from the reunion shows — and what prompted Amanda’s accusations.

Are Amanda Garcia and Fessy Shafaat dating? They spent time together after ‘The Challenge’ Season 37

During The Challenge Season 37, Fessy Shafaat and Amanda Garcia became quite close. The two veteran players hit it off early, and they seemed to sustain some semblance of a romance outside of the show.

So, are Amanda and Fessy dating today? While the two seemed like a potentially good match, it doesn’t seem like they’re still together. According to Heavy, they vacationed together in Mexico in September 2021. While everything seemed peachy with the couple at the time, Fessy was later spotted with another woman in a video clip, angering Amanda. Amanda then took to the internet to publicly call out Fessy for his actions.

After their public spat online, Amanda and Fessy seemed to patch things up. But when Amanda talked on Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio’s podcast, Death, Taxes, and Bananas, she seemed to refer to her relationship with Fessy as a massive mistake. This indicates the two still aren’t on good terms.

Amanda Garcia called out Michele Fitzgerald for being ‘fake’ and going for Fessy Shafaat after the show

Amanda Garcia and Michele Fitzgerald have a complicated relationship. Following Spies, Lies, and Allies, the women appeared to be friends. But Amanda mentioned before that Michele allegedly hooked up with Fessy Shafaat and wasn’t honest with her about it. Since then, Amanda and Michele haven’t been on good terms.

It seems Amanda calls out Michele during The Challenge Season 37 reunion, too. A clip from The Challenge Twitter shows Michele and Tori Deal talking about their relationships with Emanuel Neagu. Michele noted she felt angry at Tori for pursuing a relationship with Emanuel after she was eliminated. That’s when Amanda stepped in.

“She’s mad at Tori for going for Emanuel, but she went for Fessy as soon as Fessy got off the show,” Amanda said. “So, it’s like, I was your friend, b****, and you went straight on to his d***. You’re fake as f***.”

Michele Fitzgerald also expressed sorrow over Tori Deal’s relationship with Emanuel Neagu

Prior to Amanda Garcia’s callout, Michele Fitzgerald expressed a lot of hurt feelings over Tori Deal and Emanuel Neagu.

“It doesn’t upset me that they’re together,” Michele said. “But, he just was my person. … I was mad at Emanuel, but I was mad at Tori. And I really, really had a grudge against her.”

So, where do Tori and Michele stand now? Michele noted she no longer has “beef” with Tori, so the conversation during The Challenge Season 37 reunion seemed to squash any ill feelings. As for Tori and Emanuel, they seem to still keep in touch all the time, though it’s unclear if they’re considering anything more serious.

The Challenge Season 37 reunion airs Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021, at 8 p.m. EST on MTV.
