Welcome back... if you love reality TV and romance, this winter has been a treat. You've likely had some rosΓ© in being glued to Peter Weber's drama on The Bachelor including last night's pre-reunion, while two MTV alumni in TRL alum Vanessa Minillo & her 98 Degrees husband Nick Lachey (of Newlyweds fame) have made Netflix viewers go crazy over Love Is Blind. And as the weather gets warmer this month, we are now headed for the conclusion of the fourth season of Ex On The Beach in America, and a special winter version of the summer series at the Peak of Love.

Previously in Queenstown, New Zealand, the end of season activities began with the one sign that the end is near: the sight of a lie detector. We got to see who was telling the truth which awaited all of the singles and the remaining exes and it no doubt caused everyone to be on edge. There were surprise outcomes that may bring to an end a budding relationship with Staten Islander's own Challenge star and a Real World ex, as well as getting down to the nitty gritty of other connections. But as far as one couple is concerned, they are not worried about it at all: they have eyes on bigger things to come.

Being rooted in The Challenge on here, and last year there were three instances where winners of a final got to enjoy love's biggest moment: Tony and Jordan got down on one knee & popped out a ring to propose to their girlfriends (in the ladder's case, to AYTO alum Tori), and CT getting married. That offers the context for our last week at the Peak, where the lovebirds of the Chalet will finally have their moment. But before that, there's other business to take care of in which couples will leave with their Ex, Next or go alone, and the Truth Ceremony results may play a role in some of their choices.

After the jump, the final SocialPulse of the 2019-20 winter cycle as we bring you the last week at the Peak of Love on Ex On The Beach. Thanks for joining us...

❄️πŸ’❄️πŸ’❄️

So, as it was on Final Reckoning more than a year ago, a somewhat lackluster season of sorts compared to what we've had in earlier seasons of Ex On The Beach ends the same way as it did on that reunion stage: with a proposal and a girl saying yes to a man's question of whether they want to be together for the rest of their lives. The British tabloids got to that story a bit earlier last summer when it was filmed in wintertime down in the Southern Hemisphere, but we do have a fairytale ending to this season... and a first for this global MTV franchise that spans the globe.

As the very last couple to face Romeo at the final Crush ceremony, we got to see Callum propose to Georgia after making such a strong connection over the course of their stay down under. And now, they are the first-ever couple to get engaged on any season of Ex On The Beach among the 15 territories for which this show is produced. This certainly brings back memories of what we had six years ago when Ethan Diamond got on one knee in front of Amber Lee on the Are You The One? Season 1 reunion as they are the ultimate perfect match on that series. And now, we have our first EOTB couple... and congrats to Callum & Georgia. And continuing in this good news...

'GRAM SCAN: ROGAN COMES HOME

Rogan (front center) with the Dreamboys
(IG @ShaneTyler_Finlayson)
Tomorrow as we talk to you late on this Super Tuesday, March 3rd, the buzz for Season 35 of The Challenge will kick off when we will get our first look at the new season via the debut of an expanded trailer for that season, and we'll find out who will be going for the big bucks this spring & summer. And a man who is one of the four defending champions of the fifth major pro sport is Rogan O'Connor - the first member of the British invasion and the first alum of the EOTB franchise to lay claim to being a Challenge champ as he was part of the winning British side on War of the Worlds 2.

Before that triumph in Thailand - and the ensuing whirlwind tour of the U.S. this winter with his #Jogan brother Joss Mooney, and him being on two prior series of Ex over in Britain, Rogan was a stripper touring with the Dreamboys troupe, the U.K.'s equivalent of the show that the chaps hosted earlier this winter of the Chippendales show in Las Vegas. And last week, the man referred to by his fellow Dreamboys performers as "Rogan Bear" paid a surprise visit, a few months after becoming $250,000 richer (or about £195,000 in post-Brexit British pounds).

Creative director of the Dreamboys show, Jordan Darrell, wrote on Instagram, "So this happened today. The family is vast and beautiful and talented. I'm so proud of all my @dreamboys." Performer Chris Hunter added on IG, "My team, my squad, my family, my brothers, my mother f__ing heart G. Feeling blessed. Everything in my life is on the up right now ❤️ and it’s been so long since I’ve felt this way πŸ™πŸΎ."  And the troupe's most famous member wrote in the Dreamboys video caption, "Feels like home 🏑 ❤️."




Season 35 of The Challenge will be the next time that we'll be bringing you the action, reaction & interaction of the episodes when the 'Pulse returns for that next month, as those who Jemmye, Laurel, Marlon and Nicole competed alongside with in their around twenty combined appearances will be back for more. We'll have our traditional season preview and introduction to the season's newcomers coming up in a few weeks' time before we delve into the season itself with wall-to-wall coverage.

For the time being, Siesta Key will be the focus -- including tonight's pair of back-to-back episodes which we'll cover on the Spring Forward weekend, plus next week's winter finale. We'll then have ample time to bring you a slew of ExtraTime stories during this month of March, including a few Challengers who got to spend a girls' only weekend with the one & only Rebel Wilson -- you'll want to join us for that coming up ahead here. Enjoy Wednesday, and happy Challenge season everyone...
