In the "Real World: EX-PLosion" reunion airing on Wednesday, April 9 at 10:00PM ET/PT, the original housemates and their exes get together one last time. Did the roommates leave San Francisco as a family or can they barely stand being in the same room? Find out what really went down when the exes moved in: who is still together, who is broken up, and who is in between. We'll see one roommate plea for their ex to take them back, and the whole group finally comes clean about the shadiest roommate in the house. Hosted by Girl Code's Nessa, we'll check out some never before seen footage, and dive into why two cast member's exes never made it into the house.
