As you tune into Season 5 of MTV’s “Ex On the Beach,” you may see some familiar faces. Da’Vonne Rogers and Arisce Wanzer — two stars of MTV’s unique dating show experience — have been on the reality scene before, so naturally we had to ask them what set their “Ex On the Beach” experience apart. For Rogers, her past on “Big Brother” and “The Challenge” prepared her for “Ex” … sort of.
“I’m used to doing competition shows … We’re fighting for money, so it gets a little ugly sometimes,” Rogers told The List. “This time, I was like, ‘Oh, okay! I get to sit on the beach with a fine man’ … Little did I know that I was in for the longest and hardest summer that I’ve ever experienced.”
Wanzer had previous reality show experience starring on “Strut,” but she said “Ex On the Beach” posed a significant challenge, as no one knew what was going to happen in the paradise setting. “You don’t know what ex is going to wash up, and I thought that was pretty exciting,” Wanzer shared.
