Cara Maria Sorbello said she thought two of her castmates on The Challenge: All Stars 4 would reunite due to their shared “hatred” of her.
Viewers last saw Cara with her boyfriend, Paulie Calafiore, on War of the Worlds 2, but they didn’t appear in any seasons after that on MTV.
After several seasons away, the two-time champion of MTV’s competition series returned for the spinoff, All Stars 4, joining a cast that included friends Leroy Garrett and Kam Williams but also foes like Laurel Stucky.
Cara and Laurel butted heads during previous MTV seasons but also were friends at one point. However, it wasn’t clear where they stood going into the spinoff.
Along with Laurel in All Stars 4, Nicole Zanatta, her ex-girlfriend, returned to the show after an unsuccessful Double Agents season on MTV.

The last two decades have seen a swath of reality dating shows sweep on — and sometimes off — TV screens, with series like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Married at First Sight, Love Island, Are You the One?, FBoy Island and 90-Day Fiancé garnering notable and even rabid followings.
But much of that programming, despite ongoing efforts to racially diversify casting, has largely reflected one type of relationship: straight couples. Of course, there’s also been a handful of series — Logo TV’s Finding Prince Charming, Bravo’s Boy Meets Boys, Max’s 12 Dates of Christmas and one entire season of Are You the One? — that have featured either entirely gay or a notable number of LGBTQ contestants.
But mostly queer people are sprinkled in if they’re present at all (think Dating Around, Ex on the Beach, Bachelor in Paradise and The One That Got Away), a piece of a larger...

The U.K.’s first gay dating show is about to air on BBC Three. “I Kissed A Boy,” fronted by Dannii Minogue, features 10 single men hoping to find love in a sunny villa in Italy.
Wait. Hang on. It’s 2023. How is this the U.K.’s first ever gay dating show? LGBTQ+ representation on television has changed immeasurably in the past decade — just look at E!’s “The Bi Life” and Netflix’s “Heartstopper.” It used to be that gay relationships were only explored after the watershed or in soap storylines, but these stories are now more mainstream than ever. Why has it taken this long for the U.K. to produce its first gay dating series?
Of course, British dating shows do feature LGBTQ+ contestants. Channel 4’s “First Dates,” MTV’s “Ex on the Beach” and E4’s “Married at First Sight” have all featured LGBTQ+ participants.

Kamie Crawford Dishes ‘Ex on the Beach: Couples’ Is ‘as Messy as You Could Possibly Get’ [Exclusive]
MTV‘s Ex on the Beach: Couples host Kamie Crawford has serious respect for the couples and their exes who have the guts to appear on the series.
The original series concept went a step further by hosting six couples who put their relationship to the ultimate test when their exes arrive to help them decide to take their love to the next step – or walk away forever.
“It was as messy as you could possibly get, especially down to the sleeping arrangements,” Crawford told Showbiz Cheat Sheet about the series. “The fact that the exes are sleeping above their current partners is insane and it’s only going to get even more traumatic and crazy from here on out.”

Cory Wharton fought in a celebrity boxing match against fellow reality TV star Chase DeMoor. Pic credit: The Wharton Family/YouTube
On Saturday night, Cory Wharton participated in the Social Gloves 2 celebrity boxing event at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
Cory, a multi-time finalist on MTV’s The Challenge, battled fellow reality TV star Chase DeMoor from Too Hot to Handle in a five-round exhibition match.
There had been quite a buildup from the first announcement they’d fight up until they met in the ring, with several altercations during press events over the past few months.
That included this past week’s scuffle at a pre-fight press conference, with a few punches thrown between the reality TV stars as tempers flared a bit.
Saturday gave them a chance to settle things in the ring, although some fans, and possibly the competitors, may not have been fully satisfied with the outcome.

It’s been eight years since the first episode of “Are You The One?” (Ayto) premiered. Although the dating show didn’t hit mainstream fame immediately, it’s built a steady following and widely dispersed fan base over the years — even getting its own spin-off, “Are You The One: Second Chances.”
The dating series remains a fan-favorite among other series like “Ex on the Beach.” Some have even said this could be regarded as one of the best dating-style TV shows witnessed in the last decade. Many fans have likened it to “The Real World,” considered the Og of reality TV. Others may disagree, but no doubt, Ayto is one of the most entertaining dating shows you’ll watch.
If you’re a fan or someone interested in diving into this dating series, you probably have some questions. What’s Ayto been up to these days? Was the show paused due to the pandemic?...

"Everything is temporary." So said the winner of The Challenge: All Stars, except it seems the MTV reality series is anything but, still going strong 23 years in. In its first season in 1998, The Challenge pitted The Real World and Road Rules stars against each other in an adult spring break atmosphere. Now, 36 seasons later, the MTV reality hit has evolved into a sport in its own right, one an Olympian even had to quit. With that evolution, producers began tapping talent from other reality wells, including Ex on the Beach, Big Brother and Survivor. And sure, The Challenge is still one of the best and longest running reality series out there, it's just not what it used to...

“We’re always going bigger – the bigger the better!” declares production designer James McGowan about the challenges of working on MTV’s ambitious Iceland-set reality action series “The Challenge: Double Agents.” “That Iceland set, the upside-down pyramid, was 90 feet across and 20 feet high” he says “It’s all about the gasp factor! It’s terrifying because every year there’s a panic that we’re going to do something lackluster and just not quite as good as the year before.”
We talked with McGowan about his work on that show and “The Real World Homecoming: New York” as part of Gold Derby’s special “Meet the Btl Experts” Q&a event with key 2021 guild and Emmy contenders. Watch our interview above.

Don’t tread on “Treadstone.” The USA Network thriller series based on the Jason Bourne film franchise has experienced the largest delayed-viewing lift of any TV series this season. According to Nielsen’s Live + Same Day ratings, the 10 episodes of “Treadstone” Season 1, which concluded last month, have averaged a modest 501,000 total viewers. But with 72 hours of (mostly) DVR viewing factored in, that number jumps to a much better 1.337 million, a whopping +167% lift. That is the largest percentage growth among television’s Top 600 primetime series thus far this season, which started on Sept. 23, 2019. We currently have Live + 3 Day data through Jan. 12, 2020. Just behind Tim Kring’s “Treadstone” in the three-day-viewing-lift rankings is Fxx’s “Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (+148%), then truTV’s “Adam Ruins Everything” (+147%). FX dramas “American Horror Story” and “Mayans M.C.” round out the Top 5, both with +131% lifts in the Live + 3 Day viewership metric. Also Read: Ratings: 'Station 19...
