In what turned out to be the second-to-last matchup the Originals had en route to $1 million (the eighth one, as they closed the deal in their ninth of the ten tries), Denver native and Game of Thrones fanatic Ryan Malaty decided to dust off a costume he wore to a local Comic-Con a few years earlier depicting the title character of Disney's Aladdin. A couple years later, Ryan was chosen to be on CBS' modern-day version of the classic game show, Let's Make A Deal... and of course he became Aladdin once more. And just last year, another MTV face from years gone by, Ashley Lindley of The Real World D.C. of ten years ago, appeared on a Christmas in July episode of this daytime staple.
As it is now enjoying record viewership levels as we're all staying at home right now, yesterday for those who got to catch it on CBS (provided that it wasn't interrupted by news coverage of the ongoing pandemic), Let's Make A Deal had its second AYTO alum come onto a show that's been around since Monty Hall was its host in the '60s and well-known for making every day feel like Halloween with its contestants dressing up in those zany outfits. This time, the person who made their way to the big stage with host Wayne Brady was one who, three years ago, was part of a renowned MTV cast who has made marks on both of its entries into romantic dating television.
Three years ago at this time, New Jersey girl Diandra Delgado was auditioning to be part of Season 6 of AYTO, and she made it onto that cast of twenty-two singles who went down to New Orleans with the task of having to follow the only cast to not win the jackpot of the preceding season and to get back into the winner's circle. Her bio stated of her jumping frequently into relationships with guys almost instantly and not slowing down when she got down with one guy.
By the Bayou, she would ultimately get close to Florida party boy Malcolm Drummer, who would become the man in the middle of the good old love triangle with Maine girl Nurys Mateo. That threesome was settled into the Truth Booth when he & the ladder were not a match and they were matched with other housemates by the time they pulled out their unlikely ascent into "eleventh heaven" and that record comeback in that 10th & last matchup.
But that wasn't the end of the Didi/Malcolm/Nurys triangle: that continued into Season 2 of Ex On The Beach last year and that too, didn't turn up any favorable outcome - though the two girls in this are now rooming together. And in a new twist to this post-MTV life: it was revealed on Instagram most recently that Malcolm (who dated EOTB single Maya Benberry during and briefly after) had just gotten his current girlfriend, an adult entertainer, pregnant.

But the choice of which box she wanted was given in a interpretive dance challenge by both gentlemen right after she showed off dance moves of her own... Didi opted for the smaller container, and she was given small action figurines to probably give to the youngsters back home for next Christmas. She passed up a bigger offer: the bigger box had something that might suit her & Nurys if a Challenge call came about in a home gym as well as a trip back home to New York City. Oh, what might have been...
But an additional consolation prize for her appearing on Let's Make A Deal (and adding to the many appearances other Ex On The Beach alumni have made on a slew of other television shows outside the villa in addition to Nurys being in Cardi B's "Press" video) was of taking a selfie with the show's host. When yesterday's episode was taped all the way back in August of last year, Didi captioned on Instagram @DiandraDelgado_ (and with Jon even photobombing in the pic above), "Hey @mrbradybaby ! Let’s make a deal, shall we? πΈππ½"
