As 2017 comes to a close so does another wild season of MTV's Are You The One. But what happened this season? Did the cast win? Did they find love AND money? Did Ryan come back?
Finale Recap:
Perhaps it was Keith's
university major in math and secret statistics skills. Maybe it was sheer luck. Or maybe producer intervention...whatever it may have been the cast somehow finally pulled it together in the last episode to win the money.
They managed to find one Perfect Match in a truth booth (Nicole & Tyler). And a lot of stupid relationships crashed and burned- I'm looking at you Keith and Alexis. Michael showed his ass all the way to the end replacing Malcolm as the WORST guy in the house. He bounced from Audrey to Geles to Alexis and honestly I straight up lost count. It would be easier to name the girls he didn't hook up with at this point. What is it with this guy? Does he have beer flavored nipples????
Shad and his robotic declaration of love for Audrey finally won me over (was it just me? or were we all sleeping on could-be serial killer Shad????) and it seems Keyana got the last laugh because she and Michael were truly meant to be.
Now that we've moved past the boring stuff, let's get to the real deal: AYTO Reunion Special!
Season 6 Drama
Keyana thought she might be pregnant while on the show (with Michael's baby) but it was a false alarm.
Jada/Clinton/Uche love triangle is now a war
triangle. Clinton tried to defend his girl which Jada got mad about and so now no one is friends anymore.
Kareem is still mad at other men for telling the truth about his bad
behavior.
Geles remains unapologetic about going after everyone's man.
Diandra and Nurys are cool but Diandra and Macolm are not - they tried to make it work after the show but he was shitty (big surprise) and Nurys is cool with Malcolm but not interested in being with him.
Keyana and Anthony had a short-lived fling in the house.
Joe and Alexis did more than kiss.
Inter-Season Dating
Keith is now dating Carolina from season 5
Anthony is dating Shannon from season 5
Alexis is talking to Michael from season 5 (I think the season 5 cast is just trying to find some way to touch that million dollars)
Nurys is dating Nelson from season 3 (Girl, don't you watch the Challenge? LOVE YOURSELF)
Who's Still
Together
Uche and Clinton are still fused together like one of his dreads.
Alivia and Kareem are also making it work even though he cheated on her (again) with Zoe (again).
Random Drama
Shanley made a joke on twitter about Alexis's cousin and Alexis cried.
Some of the cast met up in NJ and hook ups ensued including Zoe and Kareem even though he was with Alivia at the time. Keyana and Anthony hooked up too. And then he and Zoe hooked up. I love their commitment to
being hot messes even when there are no cameras rolling.
Apparently a drunk Anthony slept in Alexis's room the night before the reunion but everyone was being really shady about anything else happening.
Dimitri left a love note for Nicole that night as well. This cast doesn't know how to not speak when their microphones are on and I love it.
Honestly, this season was a ride and this was probably my favorite cast yet. They never failed to deliver the drama. Can't wait til season 7!! And without further ado, here are the
Final Perfect MatchesAlexis/Anthony
Alivia/Malcolm
Audrey/Shad
Diandra/Kareem
Geles/Clinton
Jada/Keith
Keyana/Michael
Nicole/Tyler
Nurys/Dimitri
Uche/Joe
Zoe/Ethan
Bonus awkward rapping!!

On MTV's "Are You the One?" over a dozen single people are placed under one roof to try to find their "perfect match." This match-making process includes in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and
compatibility testing. The results are kept secret from the contestants until the end of the show. If all of the players don't choose their perfect match by the season finale, the cast loses the game. If all of the singles are able to correctly match up with their predetermined partners, they share a large cash prize and gain a potential soul mate. Read on for some things you might not know about MTV's "Are You the One?" According to season-one alum
Shanley McIntee, the MTV casting interviews can get pretty invasive when it comes to your personal life. McIntee told Entertainment Weekly in 2014 that MTV knows her better than she knows herself. Fellow season-one alum Chris
Tolleson echoed her statements in the same interview, saying before the show he "never had to ask himself how many times [he] masturbated in a day." No one is tossing a dart at a board hoping to randomly match two complete strangers on the show. The show uses a variety of methods derived from "scientifically proven
compatibility testing," executive producer Tiffany Williams told Entertainment Weekly in 2014. Contrary to popular belief, "Are You the One?" is not a scripted television series,
former cast members told International Business Times in 2016. That means all of the raw emotions, temper tantrums, drunken jealousy, and fights were real. Other than a set filming schedule, it seems no one tells the cast how to behave or what to say in certain situations. As a part of the rigorous "Are You the One?" casting process, "matchmakers" interview contestants, their family members, and even their exes, according to Entertainment Weekly. This information is said to help contestants find their perfect match, because what better way to find love than learning from your past?The

The game apparently has no rules.
This could explain the drama. MTVOther than the objective to find your perfect match, executive producer Williams told Entertainment Weekly in the 2014 interview that there are no rules on set.
People have tried to crack the "Are You the One?" love algorithm.
Many people have tackled the algorithm. MTVMathematicians and fans alike have tried to solve the famed love algorithm on the show and some have even claimed to have figured it out, according to The Observer.
In 2014 in a Quora post, someone argued that there is a 2% chance of beating the game. This is only if it's played completely randomly, however.
After creating an integer, he was able to find all matches 89% of the time after nine rounds.
Only one season of the show has lost the game.
The season-five cast failed. MTVSo far, cast members on seven of the eight seasons of the show have successfully found their matches.
Unfortunately for season-five contestants, they failed at finding all 11 perfect matches. That means they're the only cast who walked away from the show without the cash prize.
Some couples from the show — including ones who were not a perfect match — are still together.
A few of the couples who met on the reality show have pursued their relationships post-production.
The longest-lasting couple thus far is Ethan Diamond and Amber Diamond (née Lee) from season one, who were a perfect match on the show. They now have two children.
Some couples, like Curtis Hadzicki and Jenni Knapmiller from season two, were not a perfect match on TV but are still together years later.
Contestants aren't allowed to have paper and pens in the house.
Producers don't want contestants trying to use math to uncover the matches. MTVIn a 2015 Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), former host Ryan Devlin said that contestants can't have paper and pens in the house, in part to dissuade them from trying to use math to calculate the matches.
"We don't allow any paper or pens because it's super boring to see people sit around and draw grids all day. But they still manage a way to work things out -- like using vodka bottles to represent the guys and toothbrushes for the girls and all that ... ," he wrote.
The only place in the house that doesn't have cameras is apparently the fridge.
Cameras are everywhere. MTVContestants try to sneak away from the cameras, but it's not exactly possible.
In the same Reddit AMA, Devilin wrote, " ... the only place without a camera is inside the refrigerator and I don't think two people can fit in there ;)."
