Survival Rates: Which Ex On The Beach Couple Has What It Takes To Last?

If love, like life, is a marathon and not a sprint, the cast of Ex on the Beach Season 5 has miles to go before they sleep. Still, there really are a handful of romances that are showing some real promise in spite of adversity (and several cocktail tosses). So right now that we’re at the halfway point, which couple do you suggest has the potential to go the distance?


While in tonight's episode, and right after Dani finally gave up on rekindling her romance with David (“I think I got the incorrect impression, and I am done soon after this,” she mentioned as she left the beach in a hurry), there were three sparks that seemed intent on remaining aflame: Mike and Arisce’s, Derynn and Ricky’s and David and Kyra’s. And while each remained alight, each also faced an imminent risk prepared to snuff them out.


Or, in the event of David and Kyra, a few imminent risks. While the newest potential love story did, indeed, weather the storm of David’s ex Dani (even Derynn observed, “I feel like David and Kyra might be headed toward an actual relationship”), Kyra remained unsure that David, who she’s chalked up to a “football player” stereotype, is right for her. In back of that, for as close as they’ve gotten, Kyra was left at the end of Episode 6 waiting for the arrival of her ex-girlfriend Emily.


“David is a really sweet guy,” Kyra mentioned. “[But] a Ex is coming for me soon…Hopefully, David will be mature enough to go through that.”


And on the topic of maturity, Derynn and Ricky seem to have made the most progress. While Derynn seemed skeptical of Ricky upon his entrance to the home – noting that he might have been the initial person in history to disaster up an open relationship – Ricky has since made it his mission to win Derynn over by proving he’s really interested in a relationship. And the fact that Ricky has kept his sights set on Derynn even amid the introduction of his Ex, Kat Dunn, has left Derynn nearly willing to let down her guard.


“I realized what I genuinely want in a partner, and it’s you,” Ricky mentioned convincingly.


Finally, if there’s a wildcard in the categorize, it’s no doubt Mike and Arisce, who seem like soulmates sometimes and sworn enemies others. Mike’s insisted from the season’s begin that he wants an exclusive relationship with Arisce, yet his actions consistently mention something to the contrary, and his gossiping about Arisce in back of her back and kissing David have left Arisce wondering if Mike can be trusted. Are they meant to be as a couple? Are they simply settling because there aren’t more advantageous alternatives in the residence? They both seem to wonder constantly, however they’re yet pressing forward.


So between these three couples – and considering all that the Singles and Exes have been through while in their summer retreat – tell us which you think has the perfect chance of survival stateside, then watch Ex on the Beach every Thursday at 8/7c on MTV!
