Retrieved from MTV.com
Vendettas[]Melissa, a former pageant queen, has a hard time keeping drama out of her life. Having appeared on multiple seasons of Ex on the Beach in the UK, she's had her fair share of blow ups. Melissa arrives in the house with her friend-turned-bitter-enemy Kayleigh, a vendetta created by hooking up with her former friend's only love interest on Ex on the Beach (oof!). Will she be able to use her DJ skills to pump the Challenge house up and stay alive? Or will her cheating and devious ways make her an instant target and early casualty?
Final Reckoning[]Challenge Rookies, Kam and Melissa competed on their first season together on The Challenge: Vendettas. While Melissa went around the house flirting with a number of people, Kam with her alliance actively plotted against Melissa. After a drunken night out, Kam lashed out at Melissa, leading to a heated argument, which almost became physical. Will the pair be able to put vendettas behind them and work as a unit?
Total Madness[]The last time we saw Melissa, she lasted all of one night in the Challenge house on Final Reckoning before a heated physical altercation with Kailah got both combatants the boot. This fight was hardly out of character for Melissa, who has shown herself to be utterly unafraid when it comes to confrontation and willing to get in just about anyone's face at the drop of a hat. Still, when the unpredictable Brit can channel her energy toward the game, she stands as an imposing competitor and a definite threat to make her first-ever Final.
Battle for a New Champion[]Melissa is making her long-awaited return, and while her fiery personality is still there, her life has changed quite a bit. This single mom of a three-year-old has more fight in her than ever. Being one of the only Contenders with a Final appearance, she's ready to make another run at the final. Melissa is ready to manipulate the house and take home the money for her daughter. |
