re: Siesta Key

I bailed on Siesta Kay after the first 3 episodes, but I might fly through them one day and catch back up (if you take out all of the slo-mo shots and "parents" talks, the episodes are like 20 minutes)

AYTO this year looks like it has a pretty good cast. The girls also seem to be getting a little better looking overall, too. Plus, AYTO serves as good scouting for upcoming Challenges.

I like changing the hosts too. Devlin had become a pretty insufferable douche, plus the Terrence guy seems is nice, likeable dude.


I know MTV has recently had a change at the top of their network, but whatever they are doing seems to be working for me at least. Over the last decade or so, I watched the network for literally one show that lasted about 3 months -- the Challenge.

Now my dvr has about 4 shows that always record nearly year round. The Challenge (which now airs about 4 times a year), AYTO (about twice a year), AYTO second chances, and now Siesta Key (which will probably get a spinoff with an improved cast).

I'd imagine the new network head is catering far more to the slightly older crowd who remembers the MTV heyday of the late 90s and early-mid 00s. I'd say that's probably a wise move since most 16-18 yr olds basically only watch YouTube now and have their heads buried in social media 24 hrs a day.
