Irene

Irene is DJ's pet fish that he kept during Newf Kids on the Rock and Jamaica Me Sweat.

In Newf Kids on the Rock, Irene was given to DJ when he was instructed to kiss the cod for the final challenge. He refused to do it at first, because he was trying to eliminate himself so that his "curse" would finally end his continual injuring of animals as well as believing that he would bring harm to the cod if he made contact with it, also due to his alleged curse. Heather then pointed out that the fish had an Egyptian symbol on it, telling DJ that the fish might be able to end the curse. DJ refused at first, but finally listened to Heather when Alejandro agreed with her and said that DJ should do it for the good animals of the world. DJ then kisses Irene, and ties with Tyler and his team in the challenge of this episode. It is then revealed that, afterwards, he goes two hours without hurting an animal. This convinces him that the Curse truly is broken, and that Irene is his lucky charm, and as long he has her, his Curse is rendered null and void. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Alejandro had painted the Egyptian symbol on Irene in order to gain DJ's trust.



In Jamaica Me Sweat, DJ still kept Irene with him in a bowl (and occasionally in a bag), seeing the fish as a good luck charm. He takes her everywhere he goes, even in the confessional and during the challenges. In the first challenge, DJ accidentally knocks Irene off the cliff, but jumps after her and saves her before she lands on the ground. Because DJ is too preoccupied with Irene's safety, he fails to gain the advantage in the second challenge. During this second challenge, DJ goes through the bobsled course with Irene and finishes with the two fastest times out of everyone. Before the third and final run, Alejandro tells Tyler that he painted the Egyptian symbol on the fish, intending for DJ to hear it. Upon hearing this, DJ loses his confidence, and believes that he's cursed once again. Due to this, DJ loses focus during the challenge, leading up to him losing the challenge and being eliminated from the competition, being the last member of Team Victory to be eliminated.
