Behind the Screen: Ex on the Beach Couples (Season 1) - MTV

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.

i dont think it's a bad idea I just don't think it was executed correctly at all

This wasn't as bad as y'all said it was.

right lol. Those first three episodes will get you!

TheKonquerer#77

Probably the only one watching but this episode was good.

Agreed, episode 2 ate! Hopefully it keeps that pace. The arguing and drama was actually there! 

TheKonquerer#79

For those of you wondering, this is good. Episode 4 was slow but got fun towards the end, with things kicking up even more next week. This is honestly 3rd place for me so far, and could definitely beat season 1 for 2nd place. EOTB2 is still supreme tho.

wait, this is on actual MTV?

I'm intrigued. Sad this is flopping but look at what its on

SeauxMtv#82

I may give this a try when all the episodes air

YES. 100% agree. I'm loving this season, it's such a different vibe but it works well. The arguments these couples have are so out there but hysterical -- Lola and Sorin kill me haha. I really like the cast ... didn't think I would not knowing who they are, but it's actually a breath of fresh air!  

Season 2 & 1 will always reign supreme, but this is definitely better than 3, 4 & 5 so far just based off the 4 episode that have aired. Rotten Tomatoes has 15 episodes listed for this season (the longest season to date if true), so hopefully the next 11 keep the same momentum. 

My one complaint is the damn accents! They speak so fast sometimes with them I need subtitles hahaha

xdaytons#84

hearing this is super good...i'm tempted to watch sucks the promo was so bad i bet no ones really watching lord

TheKonquerer#85

This would've been better off on paramount+. Mtv just ain't the move no more. 

thechallenger101#86

Is this worth watching?

Is this worth watching?

If you're expecting EOTB S1/S2-esque TV, no.

It started stronger than it finished, but it wasn't terribly awful throughout. The concept and vibe is very different than the original EOTB format the first 5 seasons had, so keep that in mind. It's almost like watching a whole new show tbh. I'd give it a 5/10. If you have nothing else to watch I'd say give it a shot. I enjoyed it more than S3-S5 at some points.

Are we gonna get another season of EOTB??
