Fresh Meat[]

While in Austin, this fiery Peruvian got into a little trouble with the law and was locked up for "grand-theft carnation." One could even say that her drunken and completely unnecessary fight with Nehemiah set off a chain of events that led to Danny being sucker punched. None of this phased roommate Wes, who was smitten at first sight. They were makeout buddies while in Austin, but it wasn't until they returned home that she really fell for him. They're joined in Australia by their former roommates, Danny and Melinda, to form the Austin alliance. Will this quad's alliance stay together? Or will it buckle under the pressure?

The Gauntlet III[]

Part of the Austin alliance that was quickly shown the door at Fresh Meat, Johanna returns, but this time without her boyfriend Wes. With Austin buddies Melinda, Rachel and Nehemiah by her side on the Rookie squad and Danny on the other team, Johanna has some connections to stay in the game, but she's never been considered a force to be reckoned with. Known for a quick temper, look out for Johanna to show some determination to prove herself as an up-and-coming Challenge force!

The Island[]

After sharing the grand prize with her team on The Gauntlet III, Johanna is hoping to keep her winning streak going. Since breaking up with Real World roommate Wes, Johanna is single for the first time on a challenge and has every intention of enjoying herself. When an island romance develops, Johanna will struggle to decide whether to follow her heart or keep her eye on the prize.

The Ruins[]

Never one to settle down, Johanna has been living in England because, as she puts it, "I love English accents and I love English boys!" This sassy Real World: Austin drama queen is more known for her feisty attitude than for her athleticism. With a spotty Challenge record, Johanna was eliminated early during Fresh Meat, but managed to return and buck the odds to win The Gauntlet III. However, on The Island, Johanna failed to sail to victory, but had fun rolling around on the beach with her boy-toy, Kenny. In Thailand, Johanna returns to compete alongside Kenny, as well as her ex-fiancé, Wes and his new girlfriend, KellyAnne! Unpredictable and impulsive, Johanna is one to keep an eye on in The Ruins.
