**Christian Cruz** was a male contestant that competed on ***The Royalty Challenge***. He first appeared on the second season, The Royalty Challenge: Blood vs. Water, with his pair Lani Mami where they were the sixth eliminated; placing in 14th place. He returned in The Royalty Challenge: Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty with his team **Brawn** where he was the fifteenth eliminated; placing in 13th place. On his third appearance in The Royalty Challenge: Tokyo Drift, he returned with his Fresh Meat pair Katie Jenkins where they were first eliminated; placing in 21st place.

In **Blood vs. Water**, Christian and his partner Lani were pulled into veteran Queenasia Carr's alliance Wendy's Angel with a group of rookies and close allies Duccy Johnson/Ny Love. After targeting Dorian Washington/Jeremy Balogh due to pre-existing drama between some of her alliance members, Christian and his pair found themselves targets by Blood Ring, after Kyle Hawkins/Tory Hudson ratted them out, for being unsocial; being labelled the most annoying and fake pair. Christian often made himself a target by lying in the villa chat about his scores and stealing cash from people's bank accounts using grenades. He was also remembered for his crushes and failed flirting techniques on friends Sarah Elle and Tory Hudson. As they became more vocal they were voted into elimination twice-in-a-row against new allies Jesse Grayson/Kendall Gray and Duccy/Ny; being the first people in history to win two eliminations in a row. However, after accidentally self-voting in the following round and being sent into elimination by Blake Sanders due to a tie, Christian and Lani's winning streak came to an end when they lost to Lex Quinn/Ellie Smash.

In **Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty**, Christian started the game representing Team Brawn. Failing to get into the secret majority alliance on his team, TFC Takeover, Christian was used a pawn into voting Timothy Youngblood III whilst the other split votes onto him during the First Impressions; twist; ending up in the first elimination of the season. After winning his match-up, he decided to remain with Team Brawn. Playing a quiet game compared to the rest of his team, Christian participated towards the Brawn winning streak. However, during the swap Christian found himself disappointed with being split from his original team. After thinking he was cool with Lex and Joshua Williams, Christian was blindsided when he ended up in his second elimination of the season. However, after new rival Joshua ended up in elimination against him, he failed to beat him and was eliminated from the game.

In **Tokyo Drift**, Christian was paired up with Rookie Katie during the Fresh Meat pair twist. He came into the season a lot stronger than his previous runs; creating an alliance between 8 Veterans followed by a majority alliance, Team Work Makes The Dreamwork, including the same people but with their Rookie partners. He got close and flirtatious with Veteran Tina Savage. Christian found himself in drama early when he confronted Marti De'Lyte about calling his ally, Ny, a hoe. The drama continued for Christian when his pair leaked their majority to Jamie Fitzgerald; one of the few people not included in his alliance. Disagreeing majorly with his partner, Christian told Tasha Gaspard that Katie wanted to target her pair if they had won the daily; giving Tasha the ammo to turn it around on them by nominating them when she won the first daily challenge. With the whole house knowing about his alliance, Christian/Katie were voted into the first elimination of the season; and called-out rival Marti with their partner Jaylen Goldberg to face them; but they couldn't pull out the win and were eliminated. He entered the redemption area Stasis; but chose not to compete as an individual when it came to the challenge; ending his journey this season.
