Reunion night... And this looks like its perhaps going to be one of the greatest reunion shows ever... The whole cast is there and all of these people are so fricked up, yet the chicks are all mostly so hot, they just dont care about crazy stuff because they can always get another man.

I have a feeling there was some absolute shite show stuff that happened in real life between the show finale and now.

The Challenge reunion shows are sometimes pretty good, but the central theme in that show is competition and winning... In AYTO, it's about emotion and hook ups.. Which obviously makes for so much more drama and cheating and backstabbing... Plus we really don't know how devious many of the AYTO cast is because they haven't been on TV for a decade.

This reunion is a 2 parter... And I believe it should be some incredible TV.

First 5 minutes and already Great... Alexis hates Keith so much, she wouldn't even clap for him who actually put about 50K in her pocket... She is clearly still in love either him, but so emotionally fricked... I love this show

BTW.. Terrence is 10x the host Devlin was... He fits so much better in this show.

This Keith and Alexis shite is so messed up yet so fascinating and hilarious...they're both clearly insane and actually probably made for each other...but damn, Keith is throwing low blows...the Carolina thing was hilarious, but the secret footage of Joe and Alexis hooking (apparently multiple times) was crazy.


Joe is secretly as big a player as any these other guys...he just is so sneaky and. On chalnat about it all and no one thinks he can get those women....

The hey seriously need to do an all star version of this show, except with a different format. Clearly all these casts are inbreeding with one another and the drama and jealousy would be incredible

Part 2 should be fun. The Alexis-Keith shite is just-watch TV. That was pretty entertaining from last week.

Joe’s EX was bat shite but easy on the eyes, so not sure why he got a bunch of hate for being a “loser.” He just seems like he conducts his business behind closed doors, although it was funny when Alexis admitted she just hooked up with Joe to get back at Keith

Did anyone watch S5? I only got a few episodes in and stopped. I don’t really remember Carolina. I do remember the dude Alexis is apparently seeing now

I’ve watched every episode ever but it’s weirdly a very forgettable show. I could tell you absolutely everything about this season and the cast right now but the second the next season starts, I won’t even remember these people

Zoe, nurys, geles, and Alivia were probably my top 4 hottest

They never did a season 5 reunion show, did they?

I’m really interested to see why these other girls have beef with this entire cast.

I agree that I forget who most of these people are after their season ends.

If we’re being honest, ayto is approaching goat mtv show status with all the hookups and drama. Only jersey shore competes.

To understand the inside drama between everyone, they need to go around the room and say, "since the show, have you dated your perfect match" and "between the show and the reunion, who from the AYTO cast or previous MTV characters have you hooked up with"

The beef with the prior cast is going to probably be Keith and Alexis both dating people from season 5. Maybe Alexis hooking up with Joe and he is dating Taylor, also from season 5.

I remember Carolina and a couple of the other people they showed, but I have no idea what happened in that season other than I recall they didn't win. That's probably MTVs biggest downfall of the show is it is widely unmemorable. I still remember various seasons of the Real World from a decade or more ago better than I remember season 5. But it is great while it is on.

Good point(s).

But we also have to remember there are what, like 20-22 people on these shows each season? RW used to be 7 and then 8. Much smaller cast to connect with. The Challenge is much bigger, but we already know those folks and most of them repeat each season

I’m guessing S5 beef with current cast is about girl drama mainly due to Twitter. That always seems to be a catalyst

The reason we remember most of those old Real World casts is really two-fold. Obviously the Challenge has kept many of them in the forefront, but the GOAT Real World seasons (I'd say around 2002-2007) if you remember were half hour epsides that aired for like 6 months for only one season... Back in tbe day too they used to shoot for like 5 months... Just the 7 of them. It's really almost an impossible feat to do again because 18-20yr Olds being closed off from the world for that length of time now is impossible.

Even AYTO which has 22 cast members only shoots for 10 weeks. And the challenge now probably only shoots for about the same.

Old school Real world was simply incredible social experimenting on TV that will probably never happen again.

This reunion would have been much better if they lost. They'd all be pointing fingers and yelling. Now, they're just thankful to Keith, happy they won, and a lot of the issues they had in the house can be forgotten because of the money.

Yep, and it has to do with the fact that MTV is pumping out 3 and sometimes even 4 challenges a year. A decade ago, we were lucky to get 1, maybe 2 a year. (Dirty 30 ended recently and after a 6-week break they are airing another challenge)

I want to say challenges are shot in even a shorter amount of time. I recall some being wrapped up in 4-5 weeks. They used to give them time off in between, but now I think they compete every other day (challenge then elimination).

So after that reunion episode, I believe if you play the game and don't find your match week one and you go on trips with the cast outside of the show, you can hook up with most of the cast. Not to mention prior casts.

I wonder if they have to disclose all of their hookups contractually. They are a lot more open about it than most people I know are about their love lives.

I thought the same

Zoe just casually stated how she banged two different dudes on consecutive nights like it was nothing

It’s just a cesspool if bad decision making, really. I imagine similar things happen with the Challenge/RA, but it just doesn’t get blown up as much since this is strictly a dating/hookup show

I wish they would have gone through the entire matches and asked if they were friends/tried things outside the house etc. Of them all, none are together right?

Clinton Uche and Alivia Kareem. But I agree. They should have asked everyone if they hooked up or dated after the house. I really just want a couple of the answers. Did Tyler and Nicole ever date? Did Zoe give Ethan a chance?

On the same train as Zoe, Keyana also went off and loud capped a couple of people about them hooking up. Maybe I'm getting old, but that just wasn't something people did when I was that age.

Also, I didn't see a reason to bring out the past cast unless they were dating someone. The online beef with Alexis should have stayed online. No need to talk about it on TV.

I meant perfect matches that won the competition.

Clinton and Uche/Kareem and Alivia weren’t matches. Clinton matches with Geles, Uche with Joe, Kareem with Diandre and Alivia with malcolm

I guess the point of the show is that rarely people go for their “ideal” matches and instead go off lust and looks?

And yeah I am curious about Tyler as well. Seemed obvious Nicole had a thing for Dimitri but it never worked out. I’m sure Ethan never had a chance with Zoe. She was the most closest sloot I’ve seen on a show

this reunion show irritated me a little bit because they tried way too hard to stir up drama (including terrence j constantly bringing up different hookups). it was childish and petty.

i've thought this forever, but the matchmaking process obviously sucks. they've gone through 6 seasons, and well over 100 cast members, and the matchmaking process has produced 1 success- the season 1 couple that got married and had a kid. it's hilarious to me when a new season starts, and a cast member is talking glowingly about trusting the matchmakers and finding their perfect match. if i was on the show, i'd just want to party, hook up with as many girls as possible, and start using strategy/logic/problem solving from week 1 to win the game. if i fell for a girl who was a confirmed no match, i'd for sure keep the relationship strong, and wouldnt criticize anyone else that did the same.

i really wonder how much stuff we dont see (obviously a lot because 1 week is condensed to a 40 minute show), and how much the producers manipulate the presentation. it really seemed like this season barely anyone was actually interested in finding their perfect match, and they were acting how i'd act.

The Bachelor is the Match.com version of reality TV, while Are You the One is Tinder of reality TV. Sure there is a chance you find love, but no one really signs up for love. It is all about hookups and having fun.

I think they are going to have to change the game in the near future. Add more truth booth but with a penalty assessed for no matches? Change the rules some way? It's just going to get old fast if this turns into a stat contest, which it appears to be becoming.

Yeah they need to do something to switch it up.

What’s weird is they did switch things up in season 2 or 3 where they added the extra girl, but they reverted back the next season.

Honestly, I really don’t even care who’s a match and if they win, I just watch for the hot girls and the drama. There’s plenty of both to keep me happy.

Who’s in for siesta key s2 starting next month

Is it really S2 tho? I thought they just added 8 episodes to the first season

Either way, it appears they recruited some more talent (actors) to manufacture drama and spice things up. Should be interesting
