Biography
Retrieved from MTV.com
Extreme ChallengeLikes: Basketball and the ladies. Dislikes: Player haters and homebodies. Last Seen: Dating a mom on The Real World Boston. Competition Philosophy: Leave it all out on the field.
The InfernoHottest Pre-Inferno Moment: Hooking up with a mom from the Rec Center he worked at while in Boston. Loose Ends: Syrus is a good-natured dude from L.A. who is thinking about pursuing a career in casting. Currently endorsing a new head razor, this clean-shaven guy is the self-proclaimed "Godfather of the Real World Team in the Inferno." A strong guy and a fierce competitor, he was one of the winners in the Extreme Challenge 2000 and should be a strong asset to his team this time around.
The RuinsBoston Real Worlder Syrus has been busy since we last saw him on The Gauntlet 2, dabbling in many business ventures -- everything from a clothing line to video games to a dog walking service. Syrus may be the oldest player on The Ruins, but no one should count out this veteran on the playing field. A past Challenge champion, Syrus knows what it takes to win and has the grit to get there. Make no mistake about it, Syrus is not afraid of going head-to-head against his younger competition -- in fact, he welcomes it. But can this old schooler find his place in a new game in Thailand? |
