Colie
This former sorority girl will always be known as the girl who got the kissing disease on the Real World Denver. Luckily, she didn't pass it on to any of her roommates even though she and Alex were smoochin' on the very first night in the house. The Colie, Alex, Jenn love triangle caused some turmoil, but Colie had no problem finding new boys to fill her need for affection. Will Colie be looking for love in South Africa or will we see an ultra competitive side of her that we've never seen before?
Davis
Davis is the typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fraternity boy. Or is he? Hailing from the south, his upbringing was steeped in conservative Christianity. There's only one looming issue...Davis is gay. He first realized this in the sixth grade, and came out to his mom a few years later. Not surprisingly, Davis' revelation was not well received within his conservative family. Applying for the Real World was a big step for Davis. He's spent most of his life being afraid to show the world who he truly is, but in Denver he could no longer hide.
John
With his chameleon-like ability to adapt to his surroundings, recent Penn State graduate John is The Real World's answer to Ferris Bueller. An unpredictable mixture of craftiness, charisma, intelligence and kindness, he more than lives up to his old nickname, "Johnny Bananas." He was the loveable life of the party in Key West, despite some intoxicated fights with Paula Walnuts. Despite getting along famously with everyone (especially Casey, wink, wink) on The Duel this Challenge rookie was the first to be sent home. This time around, now with a Challenge under his belt, will Johnny be able to stick it out 'til the end?
Paula
Confrontational, yet sensitive; bitchy, yet likable; damaged, yet self-aware; attractive, yet insecure -- Paula possesses a variety of contradictory personality traits. This Quinnipiac University grad was the first Real Worlder to have a panic attack within the first 12 hours of living in the house -- of course, that may have been brought on by too many drinks and Johnny "Bananas" pointing out her rather obvious eating disorder (a comment that eventually led to a middle school name calling between the two). Despite her seemingly mild demeanor, after a few drinks alter-ego "Paula Walnuts" will be telling you to, "kiss my ass!" Paula showed up in beautiful Brazil ready to compete in The Duel. Despite her strong will and upper body strength (who knew she was so strong!) she wasn't able to survive in The Duel and was sent packing. Will this sensitive girl be have a better shot at strong arming the competition in The Inferno 3?
Rachel
You would not be able to tell by looking at her, but Rachel is an Iraq War veteran. Her four years in the Army as a combat nurse taught her to be tough, confident and outspoken. Although she was no stranger to conflict, she was not used to friendly fire. Druing the Austin season, this outspokenness caused some fights in the house as her roommates thought she was just being way too bossy. Rachel spilling the beans about the secret Wren and Wes hookup caused one of the most explosive fights in Real World history. Will Rachel find herself in the line of fire or will she be able to show everyone what this soldier is made of?
Susie
This witty, gorgeous and somewhat naive young blonde hit the road down unda' for the sixth season of Road Rules. On Extreme Challenge, she replaced Ayanna, who got the boot after an altercation with the lovable, naive Norwegian, Christian. The Roadies said Ayanna would have been a better asset to the team, as Susie spent much of her time whining... and lost the "eel bath" mission for the team. Things changed for Susie on the Gauntlet II when, despite being at odds with her Rookie teammates (especially the team's captain Kina) for most of the season, she made it to the final mission and split the cash prize. Will the Gauntlet II drama be water under the bridge?
Timmy
Timmy's a real likable guy. Always a team player, leader and motivator, Timmy will bring his unique brand of humor and spirit to the team. He is a do-anything-to-win type of guy, even going so far as to pee on himself in the "All Hands on Saturn" mission during Battle of the Sexes. Ew! Unfortunately, his teammates on Gauntlet 2 did not share his do-anything-to-win attitude and let the Rookie team take home the final prize. Will Timmy be held back by his teammates this season or will the Good Guys do right by this old schooler?
Ace
Ace was The Real World Paris party boy, always ready to liven things with his patented "trash can punch." Ace says he was "talking" to Cameran, but then she went away on Spring Break and met another guy. He wasn't able to re-kindle the romance during The Battle of the Sexes 2 but he was able to start a little fire with Tonya. Maybe he'll have more luck this time around. Although he was tough enough to yell at Parisian taxi drivers, he couldn't hack sticking his head in a bug-filled box. He didn't make it past the second episode on his first two Challenges but managed to make it half-way through The Gauntlet 2. Unfortunately, despite him claiming to have loads of experience driving stick shift, he filed to hold down the clutch in a total boneheaded maneuver and lost the mission for his team. He inevitably went into the Gauntlet and was sent home by Derrick. Will this southern boy make it to the end or will his team find out once again that he's not a clutch player?
Cara
During her original Road Rules season, Cara was a Midwestern girly girl who didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. Her whininess got her booted from the RV when Donell should have really been the one to go. After the South Pacific reunion in Los Angeles, she began a blossoming love affair with fellow South Pacific roadie, Dave. They competed with the Roadie team and were victorious in The Gauntlet. After splitting with Dave, this playboy centerfold headed to The Gauntlet 2 where she and pal Susie were accused of conspiring against their own Rookie teammates. Will Cara and Susie find themselves at odds with their teammates once again?
Alton
Alton found love on his original season of The Real World with fellow roommate Irulan. They stuck together like glue through the original Gauntlet but parted ways shortly before the Gauntlet 2, where he rebounded with fellow rookie, Jodi. This violin-playing muscleman has continually proven himself to be a freakishly strong competitor by making it to the final mission on The Gauntlet and winning the Gauntlet 2 on the Rookie team. He was the Gauntlet 2 Rookie team captain and totally unbeatable in the Gauntlet. Will Alton bring his super-human strength to the Inferno III?
Danny
This diehard Bostonian feared that if he didn't stretch his wings and leave his hometown, he would never get a chance to fly. Fly he did, to Austin, only to receive two devastating blows. A bar brawl put him in the hospital and before he had an opportunity to recover his mother passed away. After the funeral, he returned to Austin to continue a budding romance with his roommate Melinda. Within days of getting engaged the happy couple along with fellow Austin roommates Wes and Johanna headed to Australia for the Fresh Meat Challenge. Their alliance worked to their disadvantage. The veterans immediately targeted them for exile -- a fuming Danny and his partner Ev were on the next plane home. With one Challenge under his belt, will Danny get the respect that he thinks he deserves?
Ev
Ev was a tough-as-nails aspiring Olympian who risked a college softball scholarship at the University of Arizona to compete in the Fresh Meat Challenge. Sports, sex, determination and a cocky attitude? Seems like Ev was made for the Real World/Road Rules Challenges. She was the top girl in the Fresh Meat trials, but unlucky for her Danny choose her as his teammate. With the Austin season on the chopping block, Ev and Danny were ousted before Ev even had a chance to show off her athletic prowess. Will Inferno 3 be her second chance?
Janelle
This tough cookie did not avoid confrontation in Key West; you could almost say that she looked for it. She had no qualms telling Svetlana exactly what she thought of her and she didn't need Tyler's infamous burn book to do that. Don't mess with Janelle or you'll get kicked to the curb! Take it from her ex-boyfriend Jose, whom she didn't hesitate to send packing in the middle of the night. Her Key West roommate John also felt her wrath when he crossed the line and pulled off her bikini top. Despite being super flirtatious, there was no whirlwind romance between Janelle and Johnny Bananas in Key West. Will her brazen ways cause conflict with her team or will she step up as the Inferno 3 queen bee?
Jenn
Jenn was always a popular girl and party animal but in Denver the partying went a bit too far even for her. After a huge blowout screaming match with Tyrie, she decided to take the partying down a notch. Despite swearing that she had no attraction to Alex whatsoever, they hooked up on more than one occasion. They weren't love-birds, they were "drunk-birds." Well, whatever kind of birds they were, their hooking up really caused friction with Colie since she'd laid claims to him the very first night in the house. Will there be another Denver love triangle on Inferno 3?
Kenny
Kenny is a ladies' man and more than your average meathead. He loves the thrill of competition and has been known to get in trouble for his aggressive personality. But his mischievous grin tends to save the day when he's gone too far. His charms worked on his Fresh Meat teammate Tina, but whether it was more than just a partnership is debatable. Yet they managed to get second place in the final mission. Despite their close bond, Tina gave Kenny the cold shoulder on The Duel and he didn't fair too well there after. He lost in a Duel match up with Nehemiah. Will Kenny be able to make it to the end without Tina or will South Africa just be another stop stop in the world tour?
Tonya
Tonya has proven she is willing to do anything to win. Putting rocks in her mouth? Yup. Fraternizing with the enemy? Check. Eating wasabi like it's chocolate? Yes, sir. Her crazy behavior and partying gets on everyone's nerves. On The Inferno II, Tonya had some nasty spats with Tina and the "mean girls" and ultimately felt as though she was a big reason they lost the mission. Can they get along for the sake of the team? Tonya is quite the sex kitten. She hooked up with Theo on Battle of the Sexes 2 (and we hear he wasn't the only one). Will her recent marriage put a stop to her flirtations?
CT
He's a sweet guy under his rough and tumble exterior -- he even sent flowers to his Paris roommates for Valentine's Day. Oops, our bad: he took credit for the flowers, even though he had nothing to do with the special delivery. We first saw proof of this softer side when he saved hometown friend David by taking his place in the original Inferno. More recently on The Duel, we watched in amazement as romance blossomed between this notorious bad boy and Fresh Meat's Diem. Who could have imagined?! CT is the epitome of a Challenge Bad Ass. Has Diem softened up this tough guy or will we see the rough and tough CT we have all come to know and love?
Abe
This Montana boy has come a long way since he first appeared on Road Rules South Pacific. This contemplative guy showed his intense and somewhat devious side when he attacked fellow roadie Donnell. He got booted from the RV only to reappear on the Real World/ Road Rules Challenge. Despite his physical and mental strength, Abe's overzealousness has led to DQs and getting his butt voted off. It seems like a serious character flaw. While many remember the shower scene with Veronica and Rachel, his wild side seemed to have been tamed by Real World queen bee Coral. After disagreeing with his team's strategy on Road Rules Viewer's Revenge, the rage appeared once again and he was booted from the RV for attacking Adam. Will he throw punches on Inferno 3? Maybe it's just the cramped quarters of the RV that makes him lose control.
Aneesa
Aneesa is definitely not afraid to say what's on her mind. She crushed Theo's dreams of hooking up in Chicago when she told him she thinks "girls are nice." On the first Battle of the Sexes, Aneesa's backstabbing ways ultimately got her voted off. She returned to Battle of the Sexes 2, vowing "all love" that time around. Well, she showed Mark some love on Gauntlet 2 with a sexy birthday lap dance -- is that what she meant? She earned her spot as team captain after an intimidated Beth quit "Beach Brawl" in the Gauntlet with Aneesa. Surprisingly on The Duel, Aneesa aligned herself with the manipulative Beth (who would have guessed!), Svetlana, Nehemiaha and Wes, but unfortunately their alliance was ripped apart by the "drama mafia." She and Svetlana took turns taking out all of the female competition, but found themselves battling each other in the last women's Duel. Svetlana called Aneesa's bluff and sent her home just before the final mission. Will Aneesa's strong will to survive get her to the end of Inferno III?
Tyrie
Raised by a father from a military background, Tyrie is the product of a strict and aggressive pbringing. While Tyrie seached for a safe haven, he found refuge in a gang. Before heading to Denver, Tyrie was attemtping to leave his past behind and remain focused and determined to succeed in life. His roommates loved him for his razor sharp wit, sense of humor and his big heart but also saw other sides of Tyrie. Who will we meet in South Africa -- Leroy Jenkins, Dark Kent or Tyrie?
Derrick
Determined, strong willed and ultra competitive, this Chi-town native got a rough start on the Challenges. After establishing himself as the guy to beat, Derrick has proven himself time and again to be one of the fiercest competitors in Challenge history. Unfortunately this bad ass has come within reaching distance of the final mission every time but has not yet tasted sweet victory. Brought to the Inferno 3 after CT was booted off for fighting, Derrick is back and better than ever. Will this challenge finally be his chance to shine or will he fall short one more time?
TJ Lavin
When you think of TJ Lavin, think incredible talent. Growing up in Las Vegas, he was drawn to BMX racing and showed potential as a top contender almost immediately. He soon discovered dirt jumping and before long found almost unparalleled success, having been crowned the "King of Dirt" in 1995. TJ has ridden away from the X Games with bronze (three), silver (one) and gold (two) medals and has also been a champion on the DK Dirt Circuit, in the Gravity Games and the CFB (Crazy Freakin' Bikers) competition.
TJ has also developed a plethora of talents off the track. He has appeared on MTV Cribs, hosted previous editions of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge and starred in the documentary film White Knuckle Extreme. He was also featured in his own video game, MTV Sports: TJ Lavin's Ultimate BMX.
Lavin has also shown a real gift for music, having taught himself to play the piano purely by ear. As a produces with a studio in his Sin City home, he has worked with several young talents, as well as recording his own tracks.
Any way you slice it, TJ Lavin is truly a young man on the rise, poised to launch himself to even greater heights in the very near future.
