Everything You Need To Know About The Season 5 'Are You The One?' Cast

Guys and gals, we’re only one episode into the new season of Are You The One (AYTO) and already there’s some ~seeeeerious beef~.

Ooh yah, Season 5 of AYTO has the usual fighting, loving and everything in between of past seasons, but with a few cheekay twists. Firstly, there are now 22 (that’s right, TWENTY-TWO) people competing to win ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS. *Cue Dr Evil laugh*

Aaand, there’s this new thing called the Truth Booth. What’s that? Oh y'know, just a cheeky booth that gives everyone a chance to see whether another couple are a perfect match. Should they not choose to use the truth booth, the prize pool goes up by $150,000. Wowza.

But wait, THERE’S MORE. If there are no new beams (matches) at the match up, THE PRIZE POOL GETS REDUCED BY HALF. Enough of us talking to you though – have a look at this season’s contestants and get ready for the biggest emotional rollercoaster since that time Plankton nearly stole Mr Krabs’ secret formula.

Ladies first…

alicia wright..

This gal is fierce – she pretty much raised her siblings, and now she’s studying to become a dentist all the while working at a veterinary hospital. Brains & beauty.

carolina duarte..

Carolina is sweet, but maybe tooooo sweet. The gal born in Sao Paolo admitted she’s stayed with guys even after they’ve cheated on her. Oh, she also admits to having a fear of being alone.

casandra martinez..

Casandra is a serial updater – she updates her Insta all the time, but also updates her guys regularly (which makes her date some seriously bad peeps).

gianna hammer..

Looks like an Ohio, country bumpkin but bites like a Siberian tiger. Dropped a massive bombshell in Ep 1 when she chose Ozzy over Mike, so we know this queen don’t back down for no one.

hannah fugazzi..

Hannah is the definition of confident – so much so she doesn’t have trouble finding boyfriends (but has trouble keeping them)!

kam williams..

Flight attendant by trade but pilot in nature, Kam is the definition of an alpha female. She loves keeping men in her orbit and breaks hearts out of fear of being heartbroken.

kari kowalski..

Kari is a soon-to-be doctor who also slays in the fashion industry. She has every reason to be confident, but maybe her over-confidence is pushing a few guys away.

kathryn palmer..

A self-confessed loveaholic, Kathryn’s biggest downfall is her love of loving. She’s currently studying to become an elementary school teacher, let’s hope she can pass her relationship exams, too.

shannon duffy..

Definition of a pocket rocket. At just over 5ft tall, Shannon is hot, confident but maybe a little too domineering.

taylor selfridge..

It seems this teacher’s aid needs a hand with her love life! Taylor lacks self-confidence which often leads to her falling for lying sweet-talkers.

tyranny todd..

If ever there were a name more fitting for an individual. Tyranny has the sass and intelligence to make a great partner – the only thing is, she’s been on the receiving end of cheating in all her relationsips. Eek.

Drum roll for the men, please!

andre siemers..

Business owner at 17 and now a budding rapper from the country, what’s there not to love about Andre? This boi has struggled to find love ever since being badly hurt by his ex. *sad face*

derrick henry..

Derrick is funny and confident, and so he should be – he is a star college athlete studying for an MBA! Only problem is he struggles with new years resolutions (three years running and yet to get that girlfriend he’s wished for).

edward williams..

With a smile and body like his, does it surprise you that Edward’s a model? His confidence and sweet demeanour is often misread as sleaziness – let’s hope girls can trust him the way he trusts them.

hayden weaver..

Hayden’s sheltered upbringing on the edge of a cornfield has made him pretty hopeless in finding love – he shows his friends girls’ texts to see if the girls are into him. Here’s to hoping his niceness won’t be his downfall.

jaylan adlam..

You wouldn’t think this shredded ex-footballer still feels like his awkward teenage self. Hilarious and charming, let’s hope Jaylan finds someone who can put up with his wacky humour.

joey amoia..

Garbage man by day, comedic centre of attention by night – Joey can’t find love because he’s too scared of getting hurt. Aww, we just want to give him a hug!

michael halpern..

Loves the chase and gets bored of women who give him too much attention – sounds like a recipe for disaster! Doesn’t put his heart on the line because he prefers that rush from flirting.

mike cerasani..

Has a habit of rushing into things, only to regret it the next morning. With a jaw like that, though, I’m sure we can learn to love him.

osvaldo romero..

Umm, cutie alert! Don’t let Osvaldo’s tough, Chicago upbringing fool you – he’s a sweetie at heart, which often leads to women trampling on his heart *sniffles*.

ozzy morales..

On the verge of becoming a footballer in Costa Rica, Ozzy packed it all away to live in the USA with his dad. Ozzy’s biggest failure is fear of commitment despite his affectionate character.

tyler o’brien..

Despite his gorgeous looks, you’ll be disappointed to know Tyler is single because of his player ways. He’s gonna have to smarten up if he has any chance of finding l-o-v-e.

Watch the new season of Are You The One? S5 Mondays @ 9:30pm – only on MTV!
