He now admits he &#8220;let his emotions take over&#8221; and has now made a confession about his experience.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s now said he &#8220;didn&#8217;t have a single sip of alcohol the entire time he was on the show,&#8221; two years after he sadly lost his leg in a car accident. Nelson just revealed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Dcy7kM2G0J_\/?hl=en\">Paulie and Dev Show<\/a>: &#8220;I was mentally going through it. At one point, I was even breaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told Cory that I don&#8217;t feel like I belong here. Nobody knows this. I haven&#8217;t said anything. Going onto that Challenge house, I didn&#8217;t do it for the accolades. &#8216;Oh he didn&#8217;t drink&#8217; blah blah blah, &#8216;because of his DUI&#8217;.

What&#8217;s a different perspective on why I wanted to be here? Could I do it being in this freaking crazy house full of people trying to lie, steal, and do anything to make it to the next day? So that was the hardest challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was one of the hardest challenges not drinking, especially as we&#8217;re going to clubs twice a week, on our days off we&#8217;re drinking, and everyone be lit. You know, that&#8217;s how a little camaraderie starts. That&#8217;s how you build some friendships, how you build a little love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I can see everything unfolding right in front of my eyes, and yeah, that was hard. Some nights, I would lie in bed and I&#8217;m like, bro, do I belong here? And I think, after that elimination, we can get right into the falls. I&#8217;m back, and I feel like this is where I&#8217;m supposed to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like <\/i><i><span draggable=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reality Shrine<\/a><\/span><\/i><i> on <\/i><i><span draggable=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/realityshrineofficial?rdid=TzQu2kEd2cUqU4rD&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F14zX5cKubf%2F#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He admits he &#8216;let his emotions take over&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734182,"featured_media":63260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[2174],"class_list":["post-63259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-the-challenge"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/09\/18\/nelson-shares-revelation-about-the-challenge-after-he-broke-dishes-before-disqualification\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Nelson shares revelation about The Challenge after he &#8216;broke dishes&#8217;
