These social media and reality stars will push their limits as they face the Lion’s directive for a chance to win up to $350,000, promising drama, intensity, and excitement in every weeknight episode.
“I think the Lion is going to give everyone goosebumps,” said Leslie Gallardo, a Mexican-born media personality nominated for the MTV MIAW Award. Gallardo has participated in successful reality shows such as Telemundo’s fourth season of La Casa de los Famosos, as well as The Law of the Jungle, Acapulco Shore and La Venganza de los EX VIP, among others.
