The last season of Ex on the Beach only wrapped up six weeks ago, yet MTV is already cranking out a new season of reality stars navigating complicated relationships with their exes. However, this time around, the show is moving away from the beach and putting its cast on a snowy New Zealand mountain.
Premiering on December 5, Ex on the Beach: Peak of Love features an eclectic cast of stars of different sexual orientations, ethnicities, and gender identities. Odds are that even the most avid reality fans haven’t seen all of the shows these people originated on, so take a moment to get familiar with the 10 main cast members (via: Lifestyle Magazine).
La Demi Martinez
Martinez made her reality debut on Botched to share some of her inadvisable plastic surgery decisions, then reclaimed her confidence on Lifetime’s beauty series Glam Masters. Is she now confident enough, though, to not tolerate any nonsense from her ex?
Georgia Steel
After appearing on Love Island UK in 2018, Steel has been doing the reality circuit, appearing on other British shows like Celebs Go Dating, Celebs on the Ranch, Celebrity Coach Trip, and even Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. This series will be her official debut for American audiences (who haven’t seen her via Hulu anyway), and rumor has it that a couple of her former Love Island flames will be joining her in the snow.
Callum Izzard
Izzard made his first TV appearance on the popular show Ibiza Weekender, wherein attractive young adults stay in a resort in Spain’s trendy tourist destination. British tabloids have reported that Izzard made a romantic connection with Steel while filming this show. Will he find love or just another ex from this experience?
Tyranny Todd
Through eight seasons of Are You the One, Todd stands out as one of the most likable contestants the series has seen with her infectious smile and sense of humor. Look for her to be the witty voice of reason as drama unfolds around her here, too. If her ex turns out to be a bad guy, lord help the Twitter storm he’ll face.
Allie DiMeco
Best known for playing Rosalina on the Nickelodeon series The Naked Brothers Band in her youth, DiMeco popped back up on screens more recently as a “temptress” on USA’s Temptation Island. Hopefully she’ll bring that same kind of energy to Ex on the Beach and make things extra complicated for some of the other couples.
Nicole Zanatta
This firefighter with a thick Staten Island accent has made a hobby of pulling straight girls on both The Real World and The Challenge, so she has any number of famous reality show exes that could show up on the peak with her. Look for fellow Challenge vet Laurel Stuckey to stir up some drama.
Adore Delano
This fan favorite from RuPaul’s Drag Race claims to get along well with all of their exes, but the promos for the show suggest otherwise. Though Adore usually embodies a carefree “Party!” attitude, it’s likely that viewers will see tears and drama from Adore this time around.
Marlon Williams
First seen six years ago on The Real World: Portland, Williams is bound to bring some excitement to the cast as a bisexual with male and female exes. Apparently, one of those female exes is Jemmye Carroll, a regular firecracker on The Challenge franchise, so don’t be surprised if she shows up on this sister MTV show, too.
Daniel Maguire
Having appeared on The Bachelorette, two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise, and Million Dollar Matchmaker, Maguire is no stranger to racking up exes - for the world to see on television, no less. Bachelor Nation will have to tune in to see if there’s a reunion between Maguire and his most significant TV ex, Lacey Mark, on the slopes.
Ryan Gallagher
Although Gallagher is credited with formerly appearing on American Idol, diehards will be forgiven for not remembering him since he never made the live rounds. (Actually, Delano, then Danny Noriega, made the top 16 in season seven.) In other words, viewers will have to wait for Ex on the Beach to get a sense of who this singer/songwriter really is.
