Nurys Kimberly Mateo is a contestant from Are You the One? 6 and Ex on the Beach 2. She was a finalist on Battle for a New Champion. She also competed on Ride or Dies and Battle of the Eras.
Biography[]
Ride or Dies[]Retrieved from MTV.com A veteran of two dating games, Are You the One? and Ex on the Beach, Nurys wants her physical prowess to be underestimated. A successful model when she's not on TV, Nurys takes pride in her position as the backbone of her family. Nurys and her Ride or Die Nelson dated briefly in the past, but their relationship as friends has only strengthened, and Nurys is up to the task of breaking Nelson's daily challenge curse, as well as riding with him to his first final win, and of course, hers too.
Battle for a New Champion[]Retrieved from MTV.com Nurys proved she was underestimated all last season, even though she helped break her Ride or Die Nelson's daily challenge losing streak. What she lacks in her swimming skill set, she makes up for in her endurance, brains and politics. After being part of a messy love triangle last season, she's not necessarily looking for any more romance in the Challenge house. Nurys is excited to take her hustler attitude and prove she has what it takes to win the game. |
