Veronica Portillo

Smart, sexy, and undeniably sly, Veronica is one of the most cunning competitors to ever play the game. Yet, it has been years since this crafty contender has been on a Challenge and the game has only become more cutthroat. In Thailand, she returns to discover a new crop of players, ready to take her out. Describing herself as a "born-again Rookie," Veronica is an old school vet, hoping to show the new crowd how the game is really played. Does this queen of manipulation still have what it takes to retain her crown? You'd be wise not to underestimate Veronica in The Ruins.

Veronica is one of the original "bad girls" of The Challenge. With three wins under her belt, the Road Rules export knows how to play the game hard. She's the queen of manipulating votes and has even encouraged her team to throw challenges in order to get rid of weak links. This old-school crème de la crème is ready to show everyone that despite her break from the series, she still has what it takes to dive deep, play dirty and sway a new generation of players to do her dastardly bidding.

After years away from the series, the legendary Road Rules vet returned to Dirty 30 and reminded us all how she earned her reputation as one of the original "bad girls." Proving she still has what it takes to manipulate the game, she exploited a poorly timed burn vote to throw Leroy into an elimination and immediately created a new vendetta to face this season. Will she use her devious political game to earn her fourth win, or will Leroy have the last laugh this time around?

Challenge Veterans, CT and Veronica, have competed on their fair share of seasons together. Reuniting on The Challenge: Dirty 30, the pair consistently argued with one another. When CT was given the opportunity, he sent Veronica into elimination, claiming that no one wanted to be on a team with her. After returning from elimination, Veronica earned her revenge by sending CT straight to the Redemption House. Will these two Vets be able to put their differences aside and claim another Challenge victory?
