"Exiled: The Real Deal" features two brand new episodes each extended to a full hour! Twice as long as regular episodes, these premiere one-hours will take you even deeper inside the journeys of former Sweet 16ers Cher and Erin, as they trade their pampered lifestyles for huts, bugs, dung collecting and blisters.

MTV's Think Community will continue to provide viewers with information about the country and the indigenous groups of people visited in each episode and connect viewers to ways they can get involved both online and on the ground with solutions to the social issues introduced in the series. Issues explored in collaboration with the United Nations Foundation include water and sanitation, malaria, environmental conservation and access to education. In addition to learning more about these issues viewers are able to take action, as Think will connect viewers to both local and international organizations. Example actions include sending micro-loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries through Kiva, increasing their knowledge of issues like the global water crisis and the Millennium Development Goals through Millennium Promise and PlayPumps International, or starting a school dance to raise money for bed net distribution with Malaria No More.
