10 Things You Didn't Know About Maria Kanellis

10. She Was On The Reality Show Outback Jack

Kanellis was a member of the Diva Search on Raw in 2004, and while she came in fifth place overall, she ultimately was signed to a contract with WWE. However, that wasn't the only reality competition in which she took place that year - she was also a part of the show Outback Jack, which aired on TBS.

Not to be confused with the '80s wrestler, Outback Jack the TV show was a contest that saw a dozen women compete for the hand of a bachelor. The twist, in this case, was that they were all taken to a mansion in the U.S., and then told that their would-be beau was actually in the Australian Outback. The women were then flown there and forced to skydive out of a plane before competing in all sorts of other trials.

Kanellis ultimately came in third place, so she actually did a little better than in the Diva Search. Still, wrestling would end up making more of an impact in her life.
