Behind the Screen: Are You The One? (Season 7)

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

People on Reddit are actually emailing MTV/BMP to complain about Zak & his actions. I don't whether it'll make a difference but the outrage Zak has caused i'll be shocked if he doesn't do another show...

All that happenned before the me too movement and  back then society wasnt like its today. With that being said he would be the perfect candidate of ex on the beach 3, but with Shanley speaking up he can end on the same burn book as Peter (Rw Bad blood) and Mikey (Ayto 3/bad blood).I didnt even know there was a hotline for that

Im well aware. The point was that MTV loves the sociopathic type; the main one is currently the main face of The Challenge.Lmao & smh @ "sextorted". MTV & these last-minute PSAs..... Lol

Bananas is a **** but must of his stuff is not air or he is has been doing this for such a long time that he knows how to hide it from the cameras after the whole Kenny/Evan "scandal" in 2008 when society wasnt as "woke" as now. 

While Shanley literally exposed Zak at the reunion and then show receipts on lives in 2018 when the Me too movement is huge . I can see this being another Tori Deal/Big nose Mike situation, Jenn/Peter and Alicia/Eddie that none of the guys have been back over girls claims of them being abusive.

It will be interesting to see what MTV do with Zak of they cast him for ex on the beach 3 if that gets another season or he gets the treatment as those other guys.

Listen don’t nobody care about AYTO enough for whoever that boy is to be in demand for a scandal. He’ll fade into nothingness. The pool for EOTB is endless baby no one on this season with it’s horrible ratings will be there except maybe Kenya and Tevin 

WESANDNANYFAN#1715

While they were kinda dating (he was also dating Morgan at the same time), he threatened to release her nudes/screenshots or something like that. She lawyered up and called production. They flew her out to the reunion and she brought it all up. He had no remorse at all. He literally said "I was trying to scare you and it worked". Think he has some issues Nutsa called him a sociopath while almost the whole cast defended him basically saying thats just how he is. It was all bizarre. 

Saloua#1718

Zak is sooooooooo attractive. The most attractive of all guys on AYTO. But why is his personality so shit.

Absolutely not and especially after the scandal surrounding Shanley. 

He is the typical bland White male on the corner. Nothing really special, and his sociopathic personality doesn’t help...!

PinkRose#1720

He threatened to release screen shots (that he took without her permission) of Facetime sex that they had while they were dating long distance for a month and half.

I didnt watch this season after episode 5 or 6 just the reunion because of this Shanley and Zak stuff. You can watch it here if you want to:

Here are parts of Shanley lives telling her side and detailts of the story on her live yesterday:

Not just her nudes. Intimate pictures and videos of her he had taken without her knowledge or consent. She threatened her with revenge ****. That's an actual crime. She had to lawyer up on him.

hon go to your local supermarket. There will be roughly 16293903 basic white boys who look just like him. He ain’t shit 

tabula-rasa#1723

shanley said in her live that she seriously doubts at this point that he'll be back on tv. whether she can actually speak to that i don't know, but they DID fly her out to tell the story and showed that psa. they'd look seriously hypocritical to put him back on after that, so i don't see why they would. the majority of vocal fans seem to be against him at this point, and there's tons of other drama starters for mtv to put on eotb or the challenge.

Team-Hilsongz#1724

Finally watched the reunion.

1st of all, ALLLLLLLL you Asia shit talkers owe her a damn apology. 

LOLOLOL, as previously stated Brett aint shit, Nutsa aint shit & Sam was still feeling her damn ex all along. 

**** Lewis & his mama. 

Team-Hilsongz#1725

Ah, Morgan looks like Francesca, who looks like Ariana. 

Team-Hilsongz#1726
Asia looks real good with this orange wig.Also Sam is the ******* worst omg

I literally called her Ariel by accident. 

Team-Hilsongz#1727
morgan is equally disgusting for sitting by his side during this

!!! All that shoulder rubbing & her smirks too. I swear she still wants him, that's probably why they a match; she is cool with his crazy.

Team-Hilsongz#1728
Everyone should just forget this trash season

Uh no, this season brought on the theatrics & I am here for it!

Team-Hilsongz#1729
Zak giving Norman Bates a HUGE run for his money with this sociopathic shit. That’s one of the wildest things I’ve seen on this show.

Zak is fat-free mayo with a nose ring.

Yes that's why he was edited out from Vendettas over her claims of him being physically abusive when they dated.

Team-Hilsongz#1734

Yikes, that sucks to hear. 

InterFan#1735

SKB504#1738

anyone know why kenya and Tevin are heading off to Bali together??? I thought she was with her ex. Just recently she was *****ing about people in her PM's asking why she wasnt with tev. 

PinkRose#1739

Next season is filming ! Good luck to anyone that is doing cast spoilers for that ❤

ViewRam90#1740

Filming season 8? I am glad they did not cancel the show I like it, but the producers need to use the cast for another season of that matching show and plus the challenge cast I need more Bria, Zak, Kenya...

SourSavage#1741

Ain’t it a sexually fluid season.
