-Trishelle ("Real World")

-Butterbean (boxer/former WrestleMania participant)

-Nikki Ziering (Playboy playmate)

-Frank Stallone (Sylvester's musician brother)

-Erin Murphy ("Bewitched")

Yikes. So much for Hogan's hope that Kid Rock would be among the participants. I suppose he could be one of the two surprise contestants, but I'm not sure why he'd want to he'd want to appear with such a low budget cast. A well-placed source continues to insist that Danny Bonaduce is involved in the show, so he is likely one of the mystery participants.
