**Natalie & Izi:** This whole rivalry has to do with Trevor Signorino. Izi & Trevor met on AYTO Dominican Republic. Where they were a perfect match. Their relationship was set to be on the right track until Izi saw where Tiffany "New York" Pollard put her and Trevor were "Friend With Benefits". Trevor denied these claims but Izi wasn't too sure, so they went on a "break". Trevor then went onto the challenge and met Natalie on Fresh Meat III where they instantly clicked. Trevor and Natalie started a relationship from there and Izi was left behind. Izi never liked Natalie on twitter, but on Go Big or Go Home the two met for the first time on a challegne. Instantly fighting and arguing, even though Izi only lasted 1 episode with Natalie before geting eliminated, their rivalry lasted and made a big enough statment!
