backstory of "person x" and "person y"

X and Y were born and raised in [location] and spent their childhood growing up together, they both excelled in sports and were both offered the opportunity for a college scholarship at [university name] although they were aware that only one of them could take this, they agreed to support the other if they won it.

X wins the scholarship and Y becomes infuriated that he/she was "second best" to their friend. Y states that if their friendship meant anything, X would've given it up to him/her whilst X says that Y didn't want it as much and got sloppy.

To this day, whenever the other person is mentioned in conversation they only have bad things to say to one another (with Y it's jealousy and bitterness and with X it's shame and anger towards their former friend)

They both apply for the show for different reasons, Y to prove that they have the drive to succeed and X to add another win under their belt.

Ta da!!!
