I was angered and saddened to watch this programme with my 17 year old grandson. Angered to see how cynically manipulated these empty, silly young people were by the programme makers, who are feeding and exploiting their shaky and desperate narcissistic needs. I am sad for the cast, but also sad for the young audiences who are drawn to the series, and encouraged to think that this is a normal, even healthy way of relating to other people. The programme makers must know that that they are appealing to the most vulnerable and deprived in our society. I wonder if they would think it good nourishment for their own children. I doubt it.

Please, please, please, get this rubbish off my television!

Ex On The Beach: Proof positive that people who believe they are really, really good looking are relentlessly self-absorbed, sex obsessed narcissists who treat other people like crap in order to get what they want.
And from what I've seen thus far, they don't have much going on upstairs. Besides their own self image and how to get in someone else's pants, of course.
Yet they're getting paid to behave deplorably in a nice, warm country, while TV cameras record their every move. In the name of what? Are we supposed to live our lives vicariously through these people? Or is this the new low that is lowest common denominator television?
I have been forced to sit through this god-awful show because my teenage kids find it entertaining. I really do despair, I thought I'd raised them better than that. It's enough to make me want to cancel my television licence, sell the telly and replace it with something useful, like a big toilet.
This is just another nail in the coffin of TV entertainment. John Logie Baird must be turning in his grave to see his incredible invention being abused in such a fashion.

The same boring problems that egomaniacs experience when they are jealous, they make stupid mistakes like they have no self-control. Whatsoever.
It also reinforces previous 'stars' from series such as Geordie Shore, like who wants to see them again? They might be great actors but they scream their animalistic personalities.
Show is packed with recaps and what future occurrences, that are to happen, which take around 30% of episode. Who watches this brain dead programming, unless it's for simple amusement?
Only positive aspect was the set, shame they absolutely done no favour with it.
MTV are famous for mundane shows, high budget and little knowledge behind it.
So in theory, yes, money can buy you a awfully made TV program which brings a little happiness for being that bad.

Does What It Says On The Tin

All the people complaining about this make me megalol. What were you expecting? Shakespearean drama? Die Hard action?
This is a great show if what you are looking for is fun and entertainment. Don't look too deep into it.
This is like James Bond gone wrong and Stephen Bear is Bond.

MTV Trash on the Beach
Johnny_West12 October 2021
Another horribly trashy stupid TV series from the masters of teenage exploitation. The put sixteen people in a beach house with all the sex, drugs, and alcohol they can manage, and then drop in their ex-lovers for pointless fighting and drama. Boring!
Entertaining and Educational

Okay so let's acknowledge this for what it is. A stupid reality tv show. And reality tv is entertaining. Obviously, the people on this show have a few screws loose and they're not the brightest, but there's a lesson everyone can learn from this show. When you're in a relationship, don't cheat, don't be fake and most importantly tell the truth! Because the one thing I've learned from this show is the truth will find you one way or another. The producers had dirt on everybody. Hopefully all the contestants learned their lessons because dang. That was a whole lot of baggage.
Could be great

I watched the last season and it was a lot of fun. Big breasted babes especially with no underwear, a mix of guys who spent their lives in the gym. A few fights but mostly fun. I forgot flashes of nudity.
This season is a dud. Women with silicone flotation devices and guys that haven't seen the outside of a gym. They never have fun, they're always fighting. And the phookin guy who phookin tells them to phookin say "phookin" all the phookin time should phookin be sent phookin home
For next season, clean up your act. Get back to having fun with a bit of drama. The constant fighting gets old really fast. 2nd episode fast

Gave it a 2 for the location footage

Where do I start? If these people were left alone and not subjected to horrific writers it could be interesting. The narrator isn't funny- just dumb jokes that go no where. I'd love to see this without whoever is writing and see if reality stars are interesting in these situations on their own. If nothing else replace all the writers and try again. Awful.
