**Money Won:** | $0

**Dorian Washington** was a female contestant that competed on ***The Royalty Challenge***. She first appeared on the first season, The Royalty Challenge: Parthenon, where she was the eleventh person eliminated; placing in 10th place. She returned in The Royalty Challenge: Blood vs. Water with her pair Jeremy Balogh where they were the ninth eliminated; placing in 11th place. On her third appearance in The Royalty Challenge: Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, she returned representing team **Brain** where she was the twelfth eliminated; placing in 16th place. In her next appearance on The Royalty Challenge: Cold Zone, she was the fifteenth eliminated; placing in 4th place.

In **Parthenon**, Dorian and her duo Queenasia Carr found themselves and their loyalties included in the majority alliance The Cloud; often being referred to as the co-leaders behind Stewart Minch. After the alliance split in two; she found herself in the Peanut Butter Petty Time alliance. Initially a challenge flop, Dorian let that motivate her to improve her physical capabilities; eventually winning a creative daily challenge and tying for first in a strategic daily. Dorian was involved in a few confrontations in the house with Tadakatsu Watanabe and her "one-sided" rival Donnchadh Fitzgerald. She found herself the victim of Otto O'Reilly's advantage power which resulted in her being eliminated in the second double elimination of the season with ally Stewart.

In **Blood vs. Water**, Dorian returned with her partner but her friendship with Queenasia had deteriorated before the season; turning them from allies to rivals. Dorian masterminded the Blood Circle alliance which transformed into the infamous veteran alliance Blood Ring; where she and Donnchadh put their rivalry aside to work together. After a rocky start with her rivals unsuccessfully targeting her, Dorian remained loyal and lead her alliance while member Randi Smith was secretly plotting her demise as revenge for last season. She also found herself in confrontations with her earlier rivals and Lex Quinn/Ellie Smash. After dominating the first half of the game, Dorian became the target for the double elimination round as Randi exposed the veteran alliance to the rookies and painted her and Donnchadh as the leaders. After the veterans caught wind of Rhea Sunshine's flip, they grouped together and voted her and Ludvig Karlsson in whilst Blake Sanders broke the tie to send her and Jeremy in. Dorian and Jeremy fell victim to the double elimination and were unable to beat the other two pairs against them.

In **Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty**, Dorian started the game representing Team Brain. She instantly formed a bond with season 1 ally Joshua Williams and season 1 co-star Nicole Q; resulting in Joshua creating the OG Brains alliance; where they strategically manoeuvred their way through Original Brain. Putting their past behind them, Dorian welcomed former rival and friend Queenasia to the Brain team. She even called a truce with former rival Lex after both of them agreed not to target each other. However, Dorian clashed with fellow Brain member Marti De'Lyte early on in the game after voting them into the first elimination of the season. Her strategic game came under threat when Brawn members Smash, Ben Gaspard and Knife Weston put her in elimination. After trying to trap Isabel Banks during the live elimination, Dorian trapped herself into a corner and was eliminated from the game alongside Kay Opondo.

In **Cold Zone**, Dorian returned on Day 2 after Lani Mami pulled herself from the game. Instantly making a statement with her return, Dorian contributed to her team's first daily win of the season and was the only Zoner to successfully vote; targeting former opponent from **Blood vs. Water** TN Tea. After he confronted her about his vote, she explained it was because of what happened in their previous season. Alongside her initial bold move, Dorian formed a majority alliance called Ice Ring as well as being included in Devin's Black Is Magic alliance with former ally Donald G and Kay Opondo. Winning another daily in Round 2, Dorian joined the majority of the winning Zoners in voting Mariah Neveraz into elimination. Getting close to Veterans Caoimhe Mulcahy, James X and Remi Rowan, Dorian joined Devin's The Inner Circle alliance including the five of them; with both her and Devin being positioned strongly between this alliance and their Black Is Magic alliance. With Round 4 including her third daily win of the season with ally Donald, they targeted Sierra Castillo and voted her into elimination; resulting in her indirectly shading them. Dorian's game was at risk due to a poor performance during the purge challenge, but was saved by Evan Jewell's failure to submit. After winning the daily challenge in Round 6, Dorian joined the majority of the house and her allies in targeting the younger group of players, Izel Bitcherzina/Sierra/Sylvia Riah, for elimination. After voting Izel with the majority of the Zoners, Sierra called-out the obvious majority alliance, in which Dorian argued against and questioned her about the alliance Mariah said good luck to in her exit during Round 2. Dorian told them they should get to know other players rather than forcing themselves into a bad position.

During an intense daily battle for power in Round 7, Dorian found herself one of the first players targeted by the younger players; getting eliminated from the challenge alongside allies and teammates Caoimhe/Remi. With conflict in the villa, Dorian/Caoimhe called-out the obvious alliance of Izel, Sierra, Sylvia and Zaire Langill. Painting Zaire as the leader, Dorian got into it with her after Zaire questioned why she hadn't responded to her message where she was reaching out. Dorian labelled her a rat and a liar based on actions she had heard from her allies in the house; including when Zaire told Donald he was one of her first picks on the chain. Dorian also got into it with Sierra, who was trying to defend Zaire, labelling her Zaire's mini-me. She joined Caoimhe's Kid Killers alliance with her Inner Circle allies and Ryan Matthew in aims of taking out the younger group. After winning the daily challenge in Round 9, Dorian voted against the majority on Izel by choosing rival Zaire. Surviving the following rounds, Dorian struggled to vote anyone in the Round 11 house-vote as her loyalties were with everyone eligible. After being unable to vote herself, Dorian voted against Caoimhe with the rest of the house. Making it to the round before the finale for the first time, Dorian was left blindsided and frustrated when allies Remi/Ryan joined Zaire in voting her into elimination. Being placed against James, Dorian was eliminated from the game unaware of the events surrounding why she wasn't in the elimination against Sylvia.
