The Miz

Michael Gregory Mizanin, who appeared on 2001's The Real World: Back to New York and Real World/Road Rules Challenge, is a WWE wrestler better known as The Miz. The 37-year-old is the Intercontinental Champion.

In 2017, The Miz told MTV News he does keep in contact with co-star Coral Smith on Twitter, but does not talk to anyone else form the show. He still sees some of his co-stars from Battle of the Sexes 2, Inferno and Battle of the Seasons. In November, The Miz said he was retiring from The Challenge shows.

"Every day I'm asked, 'Will you come back and do a Challenge?' My answer is no," he told For The Win. "The reason is reunion shows. I love the games, I love the show, I love watching the show. I hate the drama involved with the show. One little hiccup and you're gonna be exploited for it. Those are the things I don't miss."

In a 2012 interview with MOCHI, Chung insisted that Real World was not responsible for launching her career, although she did learn from the experience.

"You're engulfed in this world of cameras following you around during the most intimate moments of your life," Chung said. "It taught me to ignore the cameras and pretend they weren't there."
