Former MTV star Connor Smith was arrested after being on the run for one year.
Smith, known for his appearance on the dating show Are You The One? in 2015, fled from authorities after Illinois police put out an arrest warrant. Police tried to arrest Smith after the reality star allegedly planned to meet with a minor for sex, who was an undercover detective. Smith allegedly sent sexually explicit photos and videos through online messaging.
While Smith prepared to meet the minor, police came to his home. Smith was able to escape. Police issued a nationwide arrest warrant in February 2023. Smith had three felonies attached to his name: traveling to meet a minor, grooming and disseminating harmful material.
In 2021, Smith was arrested for rape and assault against a minor. The minor, 16 years old at the time, said Smith attacked her and physically abused her when they met up. The charges were...

The Challenge’s Nelson Thomas recently appeared in a live video with castmate Nany Gonzalez to address the lack of support following his car wreck and Dwi last year.
As previously reported, Nelson’s car accident resulted in a severe injury to his foot, and he recently had part of his leg amputated.
A superfan account shared parts of his Instagram Live chat with Nany, in which he discussed concerns regarding cast members’ post-reality TV insurance situation.
“They give us insurance, but what do we do after? How do I retire? Are you gonna give me a job? Is there an office job waiting for me,” he asked in part of his video.
Nany then asked if Bunim Murray Productions (Bmp) had reached out to provide any assistance following his crash and injury situation.

There will inevitably be feuds and rivalries among cast members on MTV’s The Challenge, and many times, Amanda Garcia is on the other side of the feud.
The former Are You the One? star has been known to get into it with her castmates during the show’s filming and off the show via social media.
Among Amanda’s recent targets were her castmates on CBS’ The Challenge: USA 2 spin-off, Tori Deal and Michele Fitzgerald.
Those televised feuds only lasted briefly, as Amanda was eliminated before Michele or Tori were on the season.
And while Tori and Michele seem to stay away from the online drama mostly, Michele recently fired shots at Amanda as one of her top villains.
The former Survivor winner appeared in a new video with her throwing shade at Amanda, and unsurprisingly, Amanda has since responded.

Reality dating shows have been so focused on heterosexual relationships for so long that there's always some excitement when queer people finally get a chance to find love on television, whether they’re there for the right reasons or not. Back in 2007, MTV’s A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila was one of the first to break the mold, with the twist that the social media personality would be dating both women and men. More recently, we’ve seen Logo’s Finding Prince Charming, MTV’s Are You the One?: Come One, Come All, and Netflix’s The Ultimatum: Queer Love, all featuring queer millennials and seemingly tailormade for a similar demographic.

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...

After Are You the One? Season 9 ended with the contestants going home $750,000 richer; it seems as though a few couples have remained together. Shortly after the finale, Leo Svete and Brooke Rachman, who clicked from the beginning but were determined not to be a perfect match, revealed they had started a relationship. Two more couples from the show have seemingly done the same.

The Are You the One? Season 9 cast had two more opportunities to find every perfect match following episode 9. The highest number of beams they had gotten at any matchup ceremony was six, so their outlook wasn’t good. Despite the odds, were the singles able to identify the perfect matches and win the $750,000 in episode 10? Or would they have to go back to the drawing board?

The clock is ticking for the contestants, but outside of the villa, it’s much easier to determine which couples are perfect matches.

[Spoiler Alert: Spoilers ahead for The Challenge: All Stars 4, including elimination matchups and the winner.]
The Challenge: All Stars 4 has seemingly concluded filming after six weeks in South Africa. Hosted by long-standing presenter T.J. Lavin, the theme doesn’t force the cast to couple up or compete in teams. Instead, the players alternate between solo, duos, or groups for every daily challenge.
This season reportedly features a variation of the star twist, which required the competitors to earn one by winning an elimination for entry to T.J.’s final. However, in All Stars 3, only six stars are distributed following the first challenge. According to the spoiler account PinkRose, if a player earns a star after winning one, they can steal from someone else and gift it to another competitor of the same gender. Similar to season 1, only one person will walk away as the champion.

After more than a three-year break, Are You the One? returned with a new cast and a new platform. Season 9 of the reality series is now streaming on Paramount+ instead of MTV. And it includes contestants from around the world. But those aren’t the only things that changed — the challenges are also very different from the ones in earlier seasons.

Most Are You the One? viewers agree that season 9 has been tedious, repetitive, and overall not entertaining to watch. After waiting more than three years for a new season, fans are understandably disappointed with the current competition. But where exactly has Paramount+ gone wrong with Are You the One?
Will Gagnon and Courtney Rowe | Gerardo Valido/MTV Entertainment The ‘Are You the One?’ Season 9 challenges don’t give the cast a chance to build connections
First things first — the challenges in Are You the One? Season 9 are uninspired and terrible. Every competition in the show’s first six episodes has just revolved around matching contestants’ faces to something they have said. It’s boring to watch for the audience, but it also hurts the players because it doesn’t help build connections in the house.
In past seasons, the challenges often required the singles to pair up and compete together.
