Hank Avery refused to accept the confusing voting system, or lack of contact with the judges, for his elimination from the Tough Enough show, but was not happy with how he was portrayed by the editing team...

"I got eliminated last night and a lot of people having been pouring in on Twitter and Facebook and social media saying how they don't really like the voting and that the WWE didn't explain it enough. Excuses nonetheless. I think there was some confusion about how to vote but at the end of the day no one got anywhere based off excuses. We met Hulk Hogan, Paige and Daniel Bryan for the first time last night. We had not come in contact with them until last night on the show. As for the audience at home, I can act myself 100 percent of the time, which I did on the show, but it's reality TV and the people behind the camera, they have to mold certain people certain ways just to make it interesting. Unfortunately, I got labeled as someone I'm not. That's life for you. The people back home that know me and the other people in that house, the other twelve contestants, they know I'm not like that. They were just as sad to see me go. They were great people and real genuine characters."
