Discovery Channel's new program Dodgeball Thunderdome is off to an exciting start. The show is an exciting hybrid of reality TV classics like Wipeout and American Ninja Warrior. These sport-centric competition series have gained a lot of momentum as of late, but Dodgeball Thunderdome's focus on a gym-class favorite has granted it a loyal audience in its first couple weeks on air. The show also features a dynamic pair of hosts, with Internet sensation David Dobrik acting as the face of the franchise, and former NFL player Andrew Hawkins joining Dobrik in the booth. But even with these intriguing personalities commentating on the events of each episode, it's a recent contestant on the show that has fans talking: Instagram model Alanna Dergan. Here's everything you need to know about Alanna and her popular Instagram account.
Alanna competed on the second episode of Dodgeball Thunderdome entitled "The Hits Keep Coming." She finished in the top two of her first wave, advancing to the second round of the show. Unfortunately, she was eliminated in the second round by fellow competitor Patrick Israel. Still, Alanna made a strong impression by featuring in some of the most outlandish wipeouts of the episode, prompting several hilarious replays. She also, of course, was able to flaunt her impressive figure and even more impressive Instagram follow count, something Patrick poked fun at as he pegged Alanna with countless dodgeballs throughout her gauntlet run.
According to her IMDb page, Alanna was born in Beverly Hills, California, in 1994. Her father was a Hollywood stuntman, and Alanna has been acting since she was 7 years old. She has just under 250k Instagram followers, and continues to provide content to her followers today. Her posts primarily relate to swimwear and fitness, and her burgeoning TikTok account provides similar content as well.
Although Alanna did not earn a chance to compete in the final round of Dodgeball Thunderdome, she made her presence felt. In the early days of the show, she is already one of the most popular contestants to ever appear on the program. She proved her fitness by making several difficult dodges, even if she did succumb to some hilarious hits as well. Surely, her online popularity will only continue to surge after making such a strong impression on the new series. Of course, she's far from the only Instagram model to use reality TV as a launching pad for further popularity.
Dodgeball Thunderdome seems to be off to a promising start. With a great pair of commentators and a unique batch of contestants, perhaps it can emerge as a staple for The Discovery Channel.
