The Inked Magazine site additionally listed a grand prize of $25,000 for the next cover girl. Russo noted what she would’ve used the winning money for.
“I would use the money to build a foundation to reconnect with my son. I went through a grueling custody battle and I am still recovering. The money would help bring the stability in life to reunite us.”

The reality star was featured among three other couples on the show, including BMX jumper Cory Nastazio and freestyle motocrosser Jeremy Stenburg with their partners at the time.
