Though he's used to competing at a professional level, Adam admitted that he didn't initially take this game too seriously. In the earlier episodes, he was placed in the bottom three after several challenges, noting that he "did deserve it."

"It was so chaotic and it was so crazy," Adam explained, detailing his first challenge. "It was in a dust storm and there's like dust coming up through the top, like, it was so crazy that I was thinking, 'Oh, they're gonna say cut, we're going to reset. They're going to just start this over like this can't be right.' So I stopped doing everything. So I just stood there."

The athlete also told us that the spacesuits the celebs had to wear during their missions weighed around 30 - 40 lbs.

After the first challenge, Adam decided to really bring out his competitive side, telling us that he tried to "go as hard as I can" during each mission.

"I'm gonna just give it my all every time I can and just like, see what happens," he said. "Aside from all this physical stuff, it's also this huge, like, emotional component to it of like, the social aspect of, you know, dealing with the dynamics of everybody. [...] Honestly, I think that's what ended up being the hardest part about it for some people. For me, I loved it."
