There in Tampa Bay, Cara Maria flew down to the cigar capital of the world (and home base of AYTO's resident comedian from Season 1 John Jacobs) to not only check out this town, but also help to co-host an event at a local club. Along with hanging out with a resident of Florida's Bay Area in Nicole, the reason she came to what's called by locals as The Big Guava was for an event hosted by a Real World alum and Challenge legend that Cara got to compete with on her second Challenge, Cutthroat back in 2010 in Prague.
We first saw Brad Fiorenza on The Real World San Diego back in 2004 as that guy from Chicago who rode his motorcycle to Cali for a season that saw the cast do work with an America's Cup winning sailing club, traveled overseas to Greece and enjoyed everything about Surf City. Shortly after he moved to Cali, he found himself in love with Southern belle Cameran Eubanks, who would go on to further reality TV fame herself on Bravo's Southern Charm. But in one of the show's most memorable moments, Brad found himself having had a bad night on the town and began to rant in the streets in front of locals... all in front of the local cops. When fellow roommate Randy tried to calm him down, Brad would find himself handcuffed on the same night that another roomie, future Challenge icon Robin, would also find herself in the back seat of a police car and led the one who was back home getting a call from the police house, Jacquese, to put on a sign on his shirt saying "Free Brad!"Brad would go on to do eight Challenges, starting on Battle of the Exes 2 and would make it into four finals during his career, including both Duels -- second on Duel II -- and the Gauntlet III marred by what happened with Big Easy. It would have been five if not for a fight that took place between him and Darrell on The Ruins late in the season that cost the both of them their places in the game after Brad instigated the four-time champ into punching him multiple times, which was also Darrell's first time being sent home before a final. But along the way, Brad also found himself in love with a beauty pageant queen named Tori Hall, who came onto Road Rules Viewers Revenge and crossed over into The Challenge in being part of that Gauntlet 3 rookies team that took home the money in Mexico. The two met on that season and then went together again on The Duel II when Brad was on the victory podium and where, on the reunion special, revealed that they were engaged.
Brad and Tori then went to Cutthroat in 2010 and along with Tyler and Dunbar crossed the finish line together in Prague and shared a victory kiss atop the castle and with $80,000 to bring home after the two got married before leaving for Europe and to ride off into the sunset with good news that would come afterwards. Over a year later, she gave birth to their first child, John, and two years ago welcomed Chase into the world. Unfortunately, not everything lasts and it was revealed on the Brain Candy Podcast with friend Susie Meister that just last year, Tori announced that she & Brad had separated, though they continue to co-parent their two kids.
In dealing with this latest chapter, along with working as part of the local Chicago Public Schools system, Brad has turned to music and to DJ'ing, and the weekend before last, Brad hosted a DJ set at a local club in the Tampa area, with Cara and Nicole in the house supporting him. Below is a pic of one local guy who got to meet the three and hang out with them.
