We are now on the edge of a time that will be unlike any we have gotten to enjoy while we've been alive -- after a year unlike any other we've had in our lives, the pent up anticipation we've had for two full years will finally be let out as summer 2021 is just around the corner. The regular season in TV land will soon wrap up, but there will be plenty of buzzworthy reality shows, big sporting events and more to come during the hottest season of the year as we inch our way towards Memorial Day Weekend.
On the MTV front, we've just crowned worthy champions on The Challenge: Double Agents as the focus has shifted to the All-Stars spinoff on Paramount+ that's brought back the feels of fans of the fifth major pro sport. Teen Mom Tuesdays now belong to the second generation of ladies as their season has just begun again, and the countdown is in full swing for Jersey Shore to take over Thursdays as they head out to the Poconos. And this week, the road trip of the Floribama Shore cast will come to an end as their vacation away from the Sunshine State wraps up in Arizona... and then there is their neighbors.
It's been quite a time for those who call Florida home, and if you can handle the humidity, the heat, the hurricane season that's on the horizon and the madness that's taking place towards what we hope is the end of this pandemic, there's probably no better place in America than there. And for the fifth straight year, MTV is headed down to a paradise that wasn't well known before summer 2017, but now everyone across this country knows what
Siesta Key is all about... and it's not just because of the gorgeous beach and its surrounding community located right near Sarasota and a bit aways from the present capital of American sport of Tampa Bay.
It's in this very town that we have followed the lives, the loves and the drama that collide with the sun, the surf, the sand and the sultry heat from the network and the producing duo who made Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari household names. And for this summer, they will share the same night in the middle of the week as their counterparts out in California which, like it and the show that proceeded it in Orange County, set the bar for the genre of the docusoap. The kids of the Key share a trait with those out west with the same drama and dynamic while also being mindful of what people like them are going through and being that much more relatable to us.
After plenty went down in Florida in its first two seasons, last year saw things change considerably here: a musician began to take on that sign that it's time to settle down and raise a new baby. An ex of his scored a romance of her own with someone out of left field and who knows this group just as well as anyone from behind the camera, while another ex dealt with a love triangle involving him. But it all comes back to the young lady who graduated college and scored who she thought was her match... only for that to fall apart as did a friendship with a model from the heartland as she goes about trying to make a name for herself other than being the standout character in this ongoing saga.
Now we have returned to this playground of 7,000 the width of the Las Vegas Strip, and drama awaits once again in Siesta Key: Brandon taking on that challenge of parenthood, Madisson thinking of her upcoming big day, Chloe looking to go beyond being the gossip queen, new things for Garrett and Amanda, and the race to launch new summer outfit lines for Juliette and Kelsey. And those are just the icebreakers: this summer escape will offer us quite a bit in the coming months, as this guilty pleasure will serve as the undercard to the night's main event: the return of the group they got to grow up watching in The Hills.
And after the jump, DCBLOG takes a look back to an eventful Season 3 of Siesta Key, and our first look at what its fourth installment has in store when it premieres tomorrow, and welcome back to paradise.
