The Big Brother alum's injury was not shown on screen.
The Big Picture The eighth episode of The Challenge: USA Season 2, titled "Independence Day," saw Big Brother alum Monte Taylor leave the competition after a "grueling" face-off against his close friend Tyler Crispen. Following his elimination, the fitness coach opened up about suffering from an abysmal injury — which happened during his stay on the show — that hugely affected his performance. The injury, however, was not televised.
Taylor Played With a “Compromised Shoulder” In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the reality star shared that the impact of his body against the water had dislocated his shoulder. "That happened during that working the poles challenge — after I came up in the water, I just felt my shoulder out of place. I've dislocated it twice before, so I already knew what the feeling was. They popped it in about five minutes afterward, and I got an X-ray to make sure it was in place.
However, his last challenge was physically demanding. And given that he was still recovering from the injury — though the face-off went neck-and-neck in the beginning — Taylor ended up losing to Crispen. On watching his exit on television, Taylor said he has since recovered from his dislocated shoulder. Moreover, Episode 8 was just a mere reminder for him of how traumatizing his last challenge was.
