It was nice to have a friendly face," Sutter says.
“She actually took very good care of me when I came back from having hypothermia.”
Fedotowsky competed onThe Bachelorin 2010 before being picked to star in her own season.

Though she had struggled with earlier challenges, this was it for her.
“I went to talk to the medic.
He cleared me, said that my temperature was okay.

It had been raised, I just needed to get some food and go in the warming room.
So I went in there.
I sat down facing a wall,” Sutter says.
“There were a bunch of people in there.
I just wanted to focus and I was still kind of lethargic at this point and get warm.
So that was really nice to have her there.”
Fedotowsky was “really the only friendly face that I had,” Sutter says.
“Not that everybody wasn’t friendly, but I knew her prior.
So it was really nice to have somebody there who I was friends with prior.”
(Fedotowsky was forced to medically withdraw after an injury.)
Her friend did not do the same.
“They were concerned because I’ve had back surgery, I had a lumbar fusion.”

Not so much for Sutter, who wasn’t too worried.
The trained dancer also wanted to show herself she could do it.
I mean, so stupid.
I had three months.
That’s a really good time, great amount of time to actually train.
But listen, the what ifs will break you down and tear you apart.
I am proud of what I accomplished on the show."
In all, five more contestants departed the show on Wednesday’s episode while eight remain.
