Stars on Mars lives an extraordinary drama.
Several contestants on the Fox reality series got into a major blowout last week after Lance Armstrong shared his controversial views on trans athletes. This was on the heels of his escalating clashes with contender Ariel Winter all season. Now, a teaser for the upcoming episode shows the disgraced former professional cyclist threatening to quit altogether.
“Ariel, let me make it simple: I don’t need the drama,” Armstrong says dramatically in the clip below during a team meeting. “I busted my ass for nine days, I’m going to bust my ass on the 10th day, and I’m going to self-select to leave.”

But fellow countrywoman Porsha Williams doesn’t. ” No I do not like it. What are you talking about ? THE The Real Housewives of Atlanta asks the star. “It’s not even fair to the team that you say, ‘Oh, I’m going to step down. “”
“We’ve got all these great new people. It’s gonna be okay,” Armstrong replies, referring to the show adding four new celebrity contestants (Andy Richter, Ashley Iaconetti, Paul Pierce and Cat Cora) in the latest episode.
“Nobody gives up,” a frustrated Willams tells him. “I’m sick of people giving up because the experience really isn’t fun. I thought we were having fun because I thought everyone who was here now really wanted to be here.”
Williams urges him to sleep on it. “We’ll finish today and take care of tomorrow when tomorrow comes,” she said.
“I will not live another day in this hab with certain people,” Armstrong indignantly looks at Winter. The 25-year-old actress had recently chastised the 51-year-old athlete for “ostracizing people who don’t fit into categories” when he shared his opinion that transgender people should compete in their own sports division.
Watch the clip above and see how it all goes when a new Stars on Mars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
