Ten years ago, MTV's The Real World headed to Las Vegas for the second time, where it gave us an iconic Challenger who has just hung up his uniform for the last time. Leroy Garrett made his way from being a Detroit-born garbage man to being a beloved & respected competitor in his decade-long career, despite leaving this chapter in his life as one of the best to never win a title... though having a great girlfriend in "Killa" Kam Williams doesn't hurt either after falling short on Double Agents.

When Lee made his debut on Rivals down in Costa Rica a decade ago this month almost off the plane from the desert, the one who had the enigma of being his partner was Michael Adam Royer. He might rank as one of the least-liked people in Real World history due to his obnoxious behavior, which after destroying the suite at the now-former Hard Rock Hotel (now Virgin Hotels Las Vegas) and falling in love with Nany Gonzalez. And Adam's bad boy ways continued on Rivals where he got kicked out for a second straight show for getting into it with Ty Ruff after he & Lee shockingly won that first daily challenge.

During the midst of his stay in Sin City -- and a far cry now as he's now a Orange County, CA-based lawyer, both Adam and the one who he tipped to Nany about that now infamous scandal, Dustin Zito, tried their hand at an activity that's as Americana as apple pie, blue jeans, country music and a summer's day at the local fairground. And earlier this summer, one who got to compete with Nany on War of the Worlds but who made a name for himself two times in the romantic reality television, joined with a guy who shared the same Big Brother house with four future Challengers for a night at the rodeo.
