Multi-Platinum rapper and actor Romeo is set to host the social
experiment that features 10 romantically embattled reality stars
from "The Bachelorette," "Big Brother," "Bachelor in Paradise,"
"The Challenge," "Vanderpump Rules," "Are You The One?" and "Bad
Girls Club" alongside everyday singles who show up for what they
think is a run-of-the-mill love and dating show in paradise, only
to be completely blindsided by their exes (in some cases multiple)
face-to-face. A complicated web of hookups, deceit, revenge and
drama unfolds against the sultry backdrop as couples decide if
their love can be reignited, or if the flame of romance is gone for
good. Meet the cast Thursday, April
12th at 10 p.m.
ET/PT during the launch special in advance of the 10,
one-hour episode series debut on Thursday,
April 19th at 9:00 p.m.
ET/PT. The U.S. series will also air across MTV's channels
internationally.
