Tonya Cooley

Tonya Cooley is a household name on MTV’sReal World and on its spinoffs, The Challenge. Originally appearing on the Real World: Chicago, blonde-haired Tonya was known to be the strong-willed, party girl. Season 11 was made memorable because of blue-eyed Miss Cooley which is why she was invited to participate in 8 spinoffs that pinned Real World contestants against Road Rules alums. Busty Tonya worked hard to win challenges –and got into many heated arguments with cast mates who did not share her point of view. “I’ll tell you what I think, as well as what you think, but in a flirty, loving way,” admits the Los Angeles native. During the 2003 taping of Battle of the Sexes, Tonya had made the bold decision to not take part in a challenge that included nudity for personal reasons. Miss Cooley surprised fans when a year later she decided to do nudity the right way—by posing for Playboy. While the MTV audience missed out, fans are glad Tonya waited for Playboy –and that’s why she’s our Cybergirl of the Week for December 6, 2004.
