Imagine being in a bar with the guy you're trying to impress and in walks your ex. But you can walk out of the bar before a confrontation can happen.
Now imagine being told you're going on a trip to the beach where your ex appears and you can't get off the beach..
That's what happened to Victoria Alario, one of the "OGs" (A non ex) on the MTV show "Ex on the Beach." 10 single reality stars and influencers flocked to the beach in hopes of meeting and connecting with other singles to find love, but more on that later. I mean, it wasn't all a lie, because they did meet and were able to connect with other singles to find love- but they were thrown a curve ball when the show announced their ex's would be showing up. Hence the name "Ex on the Beach."
I'm about to start a petition for her to become my best friend, because we're the same age, both have a blog, both studied Public Relations (PR) and are both obsessed with the Bachelor!
Ex on the Beach airs Thursdays at 9/8c on MTV, after Jersey Shore.
Let's get to know one of my favorite "OGs" of the show: Victoria Alario!
Tell me about your background-
VA: All Italian family from Staten Island! Pretty traditional: grew up with a big extra loud family. Never miss a Sunday dinner altogether to this day! Very very tight knit and close!
Going into Ex on the Beach, you obviously didn't know the "ex" part, what were you lead to believe it was?
VA: I was told the show was featuring a big group of singles and we'd basically be getting drunk all the time and playing games and challenges!! I was told it would be the "ultimate singles vacation." And to expect to meet the love of my life.
How many more episodes are there of Ex on the Beach? Do you have any more ex's coming?
VA: There are 10 episodes in total so 3 more left, and you'll have to see to find out.
Do you have any more ex's you were glad didn't come on there?
VA: I didn't want any of my exes INCLUDING the one who showed up to be there!!!
You grew up on the Jersey Shore, have you ever met the cast of the show?
VA: I grew up in Staten Island but spend my summers since I turned 21 down the Jersey Shore, but nope I've never met the cast!
If you could be on any other reality show, which would it be and why?
VA: Prior to doing Ex on the Beach I would say I'd want to be on The Bachelor, but after doing it I don't want to be on reality TV again!!!
Tell me about your own blog?
VA: My blog is a means of me expressing myself and my style! I love having something to call my own where I'm free to be myself and no one else has any control over it. I started it for fun and now I'm looking forward to take it more full time.
Where do you like to shop?
VA: Zara is absolutely my favorite!! And Misguided.
Are there any places you would like to be an influencer for?
VA: Revolve is my goal influencer collaboration. I would kill to work with them. I can't wait for the day that happens- I'm speaking it into existence.
Let's talk about your PR background- what did you do in PR? Did you go to school for PR?
VA: I absolutely loved PR. I landed my dream job right outside of college and thought it was everything I'd ever want. Needless to say, I wasn't happy there so I moved on from that job, and shortly after I got the show. I'm not sure when I'll be back in PR, but definitely in the future.
If you could have dinner with three people who would they be and why?
VA: If I could have dinner with 3 people, they would be-
1. my aunt who passed away in 9/11 when I was only very young.
2. Mark Lee, the CEO of Barneys.
3. Bill Gates at the worlds fanciest restaurant, as long as he's paying.
