Coral Jeanne Smith (born on January 19, 1979 in San Francisco, California, USA) is one of the seven stars from the The Real World: Back to New York. Coral has competed in six challenges and made it to the end of four challenges in all. Because of this, she's earned a venerable reputation on the reality-competition spin-off shows of the Real World and Road Rules. Although she knows and has the ability to get far in the challenges, she's only won one challenge and that was with her former enemy, but long-time friend, Mike Mizanin. Coral can currently still be seen competing on various Real World/Road Rules Challenges in which she has a reputation for being one of the most formidable competitors because of her cunning and coercion. She is charismatic and has a way with getting people on her side whether it's to stay in the competition or gang up on certain individuals that get on her bad side. On the challenges, she's often considered to be one of the stronger negative female competitors which generally consists of Tina Barta, Veronica Portillo, Rachel Robinson, and sometimes Tonya Cooley. In each mission, they seem to alliance themselves as the veterans and look down on all the newbies. Ever auspicious and incredible, Coral has an inexplicable way of being successful on many of the missions, getting rid of and outlasting everyone that gets in her way, coming back to the competition when voted into elimination rounds, and surprising everyone by making it to the finals of the game. She's had a love-hate relationship with Mike the Miz and was best friends with Nicole Jackson on the Real World 10 in 2001. Although her notoriously spiteful, rancorous, and belligerent attitudes have landed her into many feuds, they're at the same time why she's so entertaining and able to take up most of the camera time. Even though Coral has been known to be fearlessly vocal, hard-hitting, and more than able to outtalk others, she has a softer side as well. She's effective when it comes to turning over a new leaf. Towards the end of the Real World 10, she started working well at her job and quickly gained success. She also got over her fear of the water by a long shot since the Real World. Coral is also helpful and considerate. She's portrayed these qualities in her relationship with her fellow competitor and good friend, Abram Boise, as well as other cast mates. For instance, she consoled her good friend, Lori Trespicio, when she hit on Kevin Dunn only to be rejected by him on the Real World. She tried to advise Nicole to let go of her silly grudge against Malik on the Real World 10. Recently, she's given Linette reassurance in getting involved with Theo on the current Fresh Meat challenge. She stood up for her Real World cast mate, Malik Cooper, when Jisela Delgado was leading him on while at the same time making out with several guys and girls. Coral is almost always the center of attention at social gatherings as proven by her animated, amusing behavior and wisecracking remarks whenever there's a big crowd. Coral is very much a take-charge woman as she's always taking control of situations, such as when she directs and gets the ball rolling at group meetings made for voting cast mates into elimination rounds. She has always had a respect for, and a good sense of her ethnic background. Since the Real World, she has become much more of a bad girl. Coral has stated she's earned her degree in law school, but that she's really doing nothing but lying around all day waiting to be called in for challenges.
Recent Mission Entitled Fresh Meat
Coral and Evan were dominant, until they were both injured in the early going. Coral busted her knee cap and was unable to continue competing. Coral was reluctant to quit however, but had no choice as decided by program producer's. Coral and Evan won 5 challenges in all.
Personal Info
It was made out that Coral had a romantic relationship with Abram Boise. On an episode of the MTV After Show, Coral makes it clear that they were never a couple and that MTV has a way of creatively editing and changing facts around for good ratings. She even made a statement at how hosting "Reality TV Secrets" because she wasn't being jaded or edited by Bunim Murray or MTV. In actuality, Coral is only good friends with Abram Boise. She is close friends with Mike Mizanin and Veronica Portillo. She was roomates with Melissa Howard from The Real World "New Orleans." Coral's favorite challenge was the Inferno. Her reasons for this were because of the location, games, and the opportunity to cuss Julie out and watch her go home early. She also stated she liked the rule where it gave someone a second chance once being voted off. Coral says an average day in her life is pretty much like everyone elses with the occasional photo shoot and being pulled over by a cop car to get a picture taken. Other than that, she says she pays her bills and goes to the movies like everyone else. Coral reveals that she doesn’t participate in any alliances and that the only allience she has is with cash.
