But I loved being on this team.
I even enjoyed missions, even hard ones, in a stupid ass suit.
But as you know, I love the word fair.
I was not mission critical today and I feel like I deserve to go.”
“I’m in shock,” OlympianAdam Ripponsaid.
“I get where Ariel is coming from.
In this mission, she fell short.
In my eyes, she’s one of the most mission critical people of this entire experiment.”
“I’m very happy I did this even though it was like a little bit of hell.
[It’s] very hard for me to open up that real and vulnerable space.
And now I feel like I’m open and ready for anything.
I definitely feel at peace.
I’m good to go.”
