USA Network has unveiled the entire cast of the upcoming season of Tough Enough.
Of the 14 contestants, there are five female contestants, four of whom have previously been revealed either through leaks or press releases.
The female contestants are: Ariane Andrew, Christina Crawford, Michelle Deighton, Rima Fakih and Ivelisse Velez.
Perhaps of note, three of the five contestants have prior experience in wrestling.
Cast bios for all of the contestants can be found here.
More info on each of the ladies after the jump!
Ariane Andrew, 23
The only name not previously revealed. Ariane is from Northridge, California.
Read her bio here.
Christina Crawford, 22
Crawford is the sister of WWE Diva, Alicia Fox and was previously under a WWE developmental deal. She was signed last July and had been working under the name ‘Caylee Turner’ in FCW before joining the cast of Tough Enough.
Interestingly, the USA Network bio makes no mention of her relation to Alicia, real name Victoria Crawford.
The story we were told is that WWE held a meeting with FCW talent asking if anyone wanted to be let out of their contracts to do the show. Obviously, doing Tough Enough would mean being on TV rather instantly compared to going through developmental.

Michelle is married to Jonny Fairplay of Survivor and TNA fame and has a daughter with him.
