Once paired up with their exes, these competitors must overcome their past in order to face the present, if they want a shot at claiming their share of the $350,000 grand prize. Will romances be rekindled or will unresolved issues ruin these pairs? Between the bitter rivalries, jealous lovers, and demanding challenges, it'll take the ultimate couple to withstand the pressures of the game.

A brand new, mid-season twist called "Battle of the Ex-iled" will shock the cast like never before, making the stakes even higher. Exclusively on MTV.com, "Battle of the Ex-iled" gives eliminated teams the chance to re-enter the competition for the first time ever! Each week, the newly eliminated pair will face the Ex-iled winners from the previous week to battle it out for a spot back in the game. Eager for redemption, these players are more determined than ever to knock out this second tier of opponents and shock the existing competitors with their return.

Jay & Jenna - Twitter: @JayGMTV & @JennaCompono

Jay and Jenna had been in a long-term on/off again relationship before reuniting on "Real World: Ex-Plosion." While filming,they attempted to rekindle their relationship but that fell through due to major trust issues on both ends.

Adam & Brittany - Twitter: @IamAdamKuhn & @brittany_baldi

Adam and Brittany met during "Are You The One?" where they had the ultimate love/hate relationship. Between the hook-ups and fights, they ended their relationship after Adam became fed up with Brittany's obsessive behavior.

John "JJ" & Simone - Twitter: @MaybachDiamonds & @SimoneKelly

John and Simone hooked up early on "Are You The One?," but John hit the brakes on the relationship due to lack of compatibility. Simone was not happy with this as she continued to pursue the relationship even after finding out they were not a match.
