'''Coral Jeanne Smith''' (born on ], ] in ], ]) is one of the seven stars from the ]. Coral has competed in six challenges and made it to the end of five 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 make it to the end of the challenges, she's only won one challenge and that was her very first challenge. She won with former enemy, but long-time friend, ], as her partner. Coral can currently still be found competing on various ]s in which she has a reputation for being one of the most formidable competitors because of her cunning and compelling persuasiveness. 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 ], Veronica Portillo, Rachel Robinson, and sometimes ]. On each of the seasons, they seem to categorize 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 vocal, hard-hitting, and more than able to outtalk and intimidate 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 each of the 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.


==Career==
===''The Real World: Back to New York''===
Smith was a 21-year-old part-time student and ] living in ] when she decided on a whim to audition for MTV's long-running reality TV series, '']'' and '']''.<ref>Aurthur, Kate. '']'', October 10, 2004</ref> She and two dozen finalists were housed together for a casting special leading up to the selection. During her stay at the casting house, Smith came into conflict with finalist Ellen Cho. Smith was ultimately selected as a cast member for the ] of ''The Real World'', which would be set in New York, the first season of the show since 1992 to be set there.


During Smith's season on ''The Real World'', which aired in 2001, she came into conflict with ] over views he related to Smith from his uncle, who opined that black people were slow and uneducated. Although Mizanin attempted to disown the comments as merely those of his uncle, Smith and their other housemate, Malik Cooper, who are both black, were offended. Coral and the other housemates went on to teach Mizanin about black culture, such as the life of ].
== 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, ever unstoppable, won 5 challenges in all. Most likely, them being forced out of the competition gave other teams an opportunity to win.


Observing that every season of ''The Real World'' features cast members in archetypal roles, Smith asserts that she was the "bitch" of her season, though she insists that her use of this label is meant to connote her assertiveness and outspokenness, and not lack of likability.<ref name=Outlook>Pratt, Paul E.

== Personal Info ==
'''REALITY TV''' - It was made out that Coral had a romantic relationship with Abram Boise. On an episode of the ] After Show, Coral makes it clear that they were never a couple but that MTV has a way of creatively editing and changing facts around for good ratings. She even made a statement that the reason she decided to host "Reality TV Secrets" was because she wasn't being jaded or edited by Bunim Murray or ]. She says the best way to hear her directly is through the ] secrets ]. Coral has revealed that she doesn’t participate in any alliances and that the only alliance she ever has going is with cash. She says as opposed to how anything may have looked, she was only friends with Veronica and Rachel. She has stated she finds it hilarious how people talk smack in front of the camera and how they think their smack-talk isn’t going to get back to the person they were talking smack about. She thinks reality TV is a completely surreal experience and is definitely a lot of fun and financially rewarding. She's made it clear that getting on Reality TV is not a factor of luck, looks, or talent, but knowing what the casting directors want to see and giving it to them. She says if you want to be a star, get the get the DVD and watch it before you audition. She added, if you become a reality star on the challenges not to vote her behind off. Coral mentioned she didn't participate in the challenge after the beginning of 2005 because she found out about some proactive bitches already plotting and alliancing to to take her out. Who they were was never specified, however Coral did lay into ] at one point about it.


After filming ''The Real World'', Smith went to work at a ].<ref name=Outlook/>


===Reality television appearances===
'''FRIENDS''' - In actuality, Coral is only good friends with Abram Boise and nothing more. She is close friends with Mike Mizanin and Veronica Portillo. She was roomates with Melissa Howard from The Real World "New Orleans." In regards to who she stays in contact with from the ], she keeps in touch with Mike (whose currently involved with the ]), Lori, and Malik who she states she absolutely adores. She states she doesn't get to talk to Nicole all that much and that she thinks Kevin Dunn is a dick so she never cared to keep up with him after the show and didn't.
Smith has appeared on six seasons of the ] series '']'', and has made it to the final mission on four of those ''Challenges''. During '']'', Smith's partner, Evan Starkman, developed an abdominal ]. Smith herself sustained a leg injury, and the producers of the show removed them from the competition. This marked Smith's first Challenge in which she did not make it to the final mission.


Much curiosity and speculation has arisen over Smith's relationship with Abram Boise from '']'' during '']''. In response to a question by an MTV rep, Smith said:


{{quote|I wouldn't expect Abram to invest his time or pursue a woman like myself, that's so mouthy and such a feminist I believe that I'm a strong woman and I believe that a lot of my morals and how I live my life was completely opposite than his. I really feel like he has come into a reality about meeting new people with me and I'm happy to be in his life, and I'm happy to teach him and help him, but it's not hard. We're going through this weird racial thing. He doesn't bring it up and it's not an issue with us, which makes it even more wonderful. It's just right and it's something that happened naturally. He didn't have to fight against this racist thing. I give all the credit to Abram for his changes, and for who he is now. I believe that it was his ability to learn and be open to other people's words. We both get really angry and we both are really sensitive and we both put up this front and inside, I believe Abram is one of the kindest and most gentle people I've ever met. And I think it was his ability to get in touch with his own kind, gentle side that allowed him to like me anyway, despite my big giant mouth and how bitchy I can be. And I think that we found a common ground there, and because I was open to him, I feel like he was able to open up to me. And when Abram and I opened up to each other, it was a beautiful, beautiful friendship that I've never experienced before, ever. I've never met anyone like Abram. Never, and people underestimate him all the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/onair/rwrr_challenge/battle_sexes2/interviews/?episodeID=79602&id=1492730 |title=Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Sexes 2: Episode 3 |access-date=2007-06-21 |publisher=MTV |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050825222412/http://www.mtv.com/onair/rwrr_challenge/battle_sexes2/interviews/?episodeID=79602&id=1492730 |archive-date=August 25, 2005 }}</ref>}}
'''FAVORATE CHALLENGE''' - Coral's favorite challenge was the Inferno. Her reasons for this were because of the location, games, and the opportunity to cuss ] (Another Real World girl who was bold enough to stand up to Coral on one season of the challenges, even though it backfired on her) 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.


However, Smith indicated in another interview that she and Boise were not involved in a romantic relationship, and that any appearance to that effect was engineered through the use of selective editing on the part of the show's producers in order to elicit ratings.<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview With Coral Jeanne Smith from ''Battle Of The Sexes'' and ''The Real World''|date=2004-12-23|url=http://www.realityreel.com/index.php?file=article&sid=976&pageid=2|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928185155/http://www.realityreel.com/index.php?file=article&sid=976&pageid=2|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-09-28|access-date=2007-06-21|work=Reality Reel}}</ref>

'''PERSONAL LIFE''' - 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, not for tickets, but to get a picture taken.

Coral Jeanne Smith (born January 19, 1979) is an American former reality television personality, known as a cast member on MTV's The Real World: Back to New York, and for her subsequent appearances on various seasons of The Real World's spin-off show, The Challenge. Her most recent Challenge appearance was on Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet III, which aired in early 2008.

On April 2, 2008, Smith appeared on the first Real World Awards Bash, winning the award for "Roommate You Love To Hate." In 2013, Smith returned to television and MTV as host of The Real World: Portland on-air aftershows and the season's reunion show.

Career

The Real World: Back to New York

Smith was a 21-year-old part-time student and nanny living in San Francisco when she decided on a whim to audition for MTV's long-running reality TV series, The Real World and Road Rules. She and two dozen finalists were housed together for a casting special leading up to the selection. During her stay at the casting house, Smith came into conflict with finalist Ellen Cho. Smith was ultimately selected as a cast member for the tenth season of The Real World, which would be set in New York, the first season of the show since 1992 to be set there.

During Smith's season on The Real World, which aired in 2001, she came into conflict with Mike Mizanin over views he related to Smith from his uncle, who opined that black people were slow and uneducated. Although Mizanin attempted to disown the comments as merely those of his uncle, Smith and their other housemate, Malik Cooper, who are both black, were offended. Coral and the other housemates went on to teach Mizanin about black culture, such as the life of Malcolm X.

Observing that every season of The Real World features cast members in archetypal roles, Smith asserts that she was the "bitch" of her season, though she insists that her use of this label is meant to connote her assertiveness and outspokenness, and not lack of likability.

After filming The Real World, Smith went to work at a rape crisis center.

Reality television appearances

Smith has appeared on six seasons of the spin-off series Real World/Road Rules Challenge, and has made it to the final mission on four of those Challenges. During Fresh Meat, Smith's partner, Evan Starkman, developed an abdominal hernia. Smith herself sustained a leg injury, and the producers of the show removed them from the competition. This marked Smith's first Challenge in which she did not make it to the final mission.

Much curiosity and speculation has arisen over Smith's relationship with Abram Boise from Road Rules: South Pacific during Battle of the Sexes 2. In response to a question by an MTV rep, Smith said:

I wouldn't expect Abram to invest his time or pursue a woman like myself, that's so mouthy and such a feminist I believe that I'm a strong woman and I believe that a lot of my morals and how I live my life was completely opposite than his. I really feel like he has come into a reality about meeting new people with me and I'm happy to be in his life, and I'm happy to teach him and help him, but it's not hard. We're going through this weird racial thing. He doesn't bring it up and it's not an issue with us, which makes it even more wonderful. It's just right and it's something that happened naturally. He didn't have to fight against this racist thing. I give all the credit to Abram for his changes, and for who he is now. I believe that it was his ability to learn and be open to other people's words. We both get really angry and we both are really sensitive and we both put up this front and inside, I believe Abram is one of the kindest and most gentle people I've ever met. And I think it was his ability to get in touch with his own kind, gentle side that allowed him to like me anyway, despite my big giant mouth and how bitchy I can be. And I think that we found a common ground there, and because I was open to him, I feel like he was able to open up to me. And when Abram and I opened up to each other, it was a beautiful, beautiful friendship that I've never experienced before, ever. I've never met anyone like Abram. Never, and people underestimate him all the time.

However, Smith indicated in another interview that she and Boise were not involved in a romantic relationship, and that any appearance to that effect was engineered through the use of selective editing on the part of the show's producers in order to elicit ratings.

In 2005 Smith appeared on Battle of the Network Reality Stars. In January 2007 Smith appeared on the Fox Reality reality show, Camp Reality. In January 2008, Smith appeared on The Gauntlet III. She voluntarily left towards the end of the Challenge. This marked Smith's second Challenge in which she did not make it to the final mission. At the end of that season, at The Gauntlet III Reunion Special, Smith explained that she left because she was unwilling to tolerate what she perceived as disreputable behavior by her teammates; an observation that was corroborated by teammate Katie Doyle.

On April 2, 2008, Smith appeared on the first Real World Awards Bash, winning the award for the "Roommate You Love To Hate". In 2013, Smith served as host of The Real World: Portland's on-air aftershows and the season's reunion show.

Personal life

Following her Challenge appearances, Smith moved to San Francisco, where she worked as a freelance writer and the host of an internet-based travel show.

Smith was present at a gay pride event at Paramount's Great America amusement park in 2007, which prompted in interview with OUTlook magazine in which she explained that her sexual orientation was at that time "very cloudy" and she was "venturing toward my lesbian qualities. It's been a long time coming."

Smith gave birth to her daughter, Charlie Beatrice, on June 22, 2013.
