Biography[]
Rivals II[]Retrieved from MTV.com Rookies can be sacrificial lambs in this game, but Marlon and Jordan are hoping to buck the trend. Former Big 12 linebacker Marlon is no stranger to intense competition, and despite being born with only one hand, Jordan has excelled in sports his entire life, from rugby to wrestling to gymnastics. Marlon explains, "Some of the people that don't know Jordan are going to underestimate him a lot. But they don't realize that him not having two hands has actually made him that much better of a person and that much more of a competitor." As impressive as their athletic abilities are, this is a pair that really knows how to push each other's buttons. Jordan admits, "We are both very high-strung competitors. We both want to be on top. We both want to be heard. And we both feel that our opinions are the best way." Know-it-all Jordan gets under everyone's skin while getting under the covers with two veteran girls, while Marlon explores his sexuality by playing both sides of the fence, hooking up with a guy and a girl. Could these rookies morph into a power pair? Or will their time in Thailand be cut short? |
