Irene



Irene is DJ's pet fish in Newf Kids on the Rock and Jamaica Me Sweat. Irene was given to DJ in Newf Kids on the Rock to kiss in the final challenge. He refused to do it at first because he wanted to be eliminated, in order to prevent himself from hurting more animals from his curse. Heather points out an Egyptian symbol that was on the fish. He still says no, but finally does it when Alejandro agrees with Heather and says DJ should do it for the animals of the world.

DJ kisses Irene, and ties with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot in the challenge this episode. It is then revealed that he goes two hours without hurting an animal and that convinces him that the curse is broken. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Alejandro painted the Egyptian symbol on Irene. In Jamaica Me Sweat, DJ keeps Irene, seeing the fish as a good luck charm. He takes it everywhere he goes, even the confessional and challenges. In the first challenge, DJ accidentally knocks Irene off the cliff, but jumps and saves her before anything bad happens to the fish. 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.

Alejandro tells Tyler before the the third and final run that he painted the Egyptian symbol on the fish, intending 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 him to his elimination from the competition.
