Glanville told Fox News Digital she felt she had conquered the challenge on the show even though she left due to injuries.

“So I have, like, from 8 a.m. on, I have creditors from, like, medical things calling me, like from Cedars-Sinai. It's out of control. Like I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars that I had saved. I emptied my 401(k). And it's all for medical bills. And I had insurance, and they told me nothing was wrong. I'm so angry. You know, going into my mid-fifties I had a cushion and that's gone. So it's very scary right now.”
