The latest season of Tough as Nails is all set to premiere this week. Fan-favorite TV host Phil Keoghan, who is the co-creator of the CBS show, will return to his hosting duties.

Tough as Nails Season 3 was shot at Red Beach in Camp Pendleton, California. The reality show welcomes 12 contestants who don’t think twice about rolling up their sleeves to get their hands dirty and work long hours to complete tough jobs. All the participants are the best workers in their chosen fields and they are going to use that professional talent in the upcoming season of the competition series.

One of these hard working individuals is Christine Connors, who is appearing on the show to prove that women are tough.

The 29-year-old Tough as Nails contestant Christine Connors is an ironworker by profession. Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, she currently lives in Glendora, California.

Connors has described herself as an ambitious, hardworking and funny person in her bio posted on the network’s site. The ironworker erects steel buildings, connects them and then rigs and welds the buildings. She believes that women are great welders, in fact, she proves it every day.
