I am so happy that Jay Starrett has returned to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Reality TV fans first met Jay when he appeared on Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X. His masterminding of Michaela Bradshaw’s blind slide elimination, winning two individual immunity challenges, and bonding with eventual winner Adam Klein made him a fan favorite. While he placed sixth, Jay went to the MTV universe and appeared on Ex on the Beach: Season Two alongside his ex-Morgan Willett.
Eventually, the former Survivor castaway made his way to the long-running Reality TV competition The Challenge. In his debut season of The Challenge: Total Madness, Jay Starrett made a splash when he won two elimination challenges, including taking out show icon Chris “C.T.” Tamburello. Unfortunately, Jay’s season was cut short when he was medically disqualified in an elimination against Rogan O’Connor.
Jay returned in The Challenge: Double Agents, where he was partnered with show legend Teresa Jones. The pair won a mini-final and masterminded the elimination of champion Ashley Mitchell. That move put a target on their back, and eventually, Leroy Garrett sent him home. After taking a season off, Jay returned to The Challenge: Ride or Dies. He partnered with Survivor champion Michele Fitzgerald and together, the duo won two daily challenges and used their power to mastermind the elimination of show legend Laurel Stucky. Unfortunately, the pair were eliminated by the powerful rookie team Horacio and Olivia.
Jay Starrett runs the Stay Loco brand outside of the reality TV world. Stay Loco represents “You being you.” He encourages his followers to believe in themselves, motivate, and inspire people. He also has dove into the music world with several songs, including “Stone Cold,” featuring The Challenge: Double Agents competitors Lio Rush and Joseph Allen.
In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jay Starrett talked about how he would have welcomed the new Survivor US newcomers (Michele, Michaela, and Island of the Idols champion Tommy Sheehan) into the fold if he was on The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies and spoke about partnering with Michele on The Challenge: Ride or Dies. Plus, Jay talked about expanding the Stay Loco brand and music ventures.
