Nam Vo's journey on The Challenge was cut short due to a back injury.
After the airdrop task, Nam complained of a shooting pain right up his back.

Nam and Jones never discussed her self-elimination, which caught Nam by surprise.
Jones would complain that Nam would not support her intensity and that was the reason why they'd end up losing daily challenges.
