Pepsi and MTV dropped a trailer to announce the upcoming debut of Match Me If You Can, a fresh spin on reality show dating inspired by the latest surprising perfect match - Pepsi and mango. Pepsi Mango and MTV set out to answer the age-old question - what if your favorite stars from across the reality TV universe were mixed up together for a chance to find their surprising perfect match? Produced by ViacomCBS' in-house branded content studio, Velocity, Pepsi Mango and MTV are giving these stars another swipe at love with Match Me If You Can. The digital series is the latest innovative content concept from brand Pepsi and marks the nationwide launch of Pepsi Mango as the brand's first permanent flavor introduction in five years. The new flavor launch also marks the brand's first permanent release of a Regular and Zero Sugar variety at the same time, designed to support consumers' growing preference for sugar-free offerings, without having to sacrifice great taste.
Pepsi Mango and MTV will bring together eight bright stars from the reality TV universe for a new five-part crossover dating series that pairs fan favorites from different franchises together for the first time. As seen with Pepsi Mango, it's often the most surprising pairings that work best together. This perfect match is what inspired show producers to not only bring together two daters from different franchises in each episode, but also set them up with unexpected activities for the ultimate dating experience.
While MTV brings its own expertise in this space, Pepsi and ViacomCBS Velocity also enlisted the help of producer, industry stalwart and founder of TheYearofElan Productions, Elan Gale, to partner on the project. Reality dating show success story, Lauren Speed Hamilton, will host the series. Match Me If You Can welcomes a diverse and exciting roster of reality veterans including Ashley Brooke Mitchell, Eric Bigger, Harry Jowsey, Onyeka Ehie, Natalie Negrotti, Kyra Green, Joey Sasso and Kylie Smith.
The first episode of Match Me If You Canwill debut during the finale of the 36thseason of MTV's hit show, "The Challenge: Double Agents," through commercial break takeovers - a new concept from Pepsi and MTV that merges fandoms and creates a show within a show. In tandem, the first episode will drop on MTV's YouTube channel, YouTube.com/MTV. The remaining four episodes, including the finale, will premiere on MTV's YouTube channel, the first-ever dating show co-produced with a brand to do so. The concept of the show – bringing together unexpected pairs to create sparks and an eventual perfect match – is informed by the popularity of reality dating shows and the surprising perfect match of Pepsi Mango, which hit grocery store shelves nationwide last month and was met with surprise, excitement, and intrigue from consumers.
Match Me If You Can debuts on MTV during the finale episode of "The Challenge: Double Agents" and on MTV's YouTube on April 21 at 8 PM ET, with subsequent episodes launching on MTV YouTube each Wednesday. To indulge consumers in one of the most satisfying activities – binge-watching – after the series' initial debut, all five episodes will also be available on demand on Pluto TV.
Okay?
I read "Joey Sasso" as "Joe Sasto" (Top Chef) and I almost screamed lmao
Wut is disssss
This cast deserves better
All deserve Challenge calls but this is so ghetto
I love this cast so I'm actually upset this is a commercial....
Who watching this ?
This outsold All Stars
I think it's a series too? the first episodes are commercials and the last are aired on the YouTube, I think?
let's not get crazy now
This whole cast should be on 37 !!
didn't see this coming.

The whole thing is so weird lmao
Why don't they just put it on Paramount + they need more content there or just air it on TV like what other shows do they have on tv right now?
I would've loved to see Da'Vonne on this, she would represent both Big Brother and The Challenge. But I guess they don't want her to overshadow the whole cast.
literally paramount plus needs something
I would have given this a try on MTV or paramount, I don't watch shows on YouTube cause it's annoying haha looks cute tho! I'm happy for queen Ashley :)
I don't get them spending all this money in getting a decent cast (feel like Harry and Lauren were given $$$$$$ for this), a nice house and everything else just to have it air in commercials. Where's the logic in this?
MTV really pissed me off with this......they finally put a good cast together to do absolutely nothing with it
somebody is sabotaging this network lmaoo
I've heard of Ashley and Natalie - end of list lol. I think I may be passing on this but hope it works out for them!
This has (or should I say HAD) SO much potential -- the cast is great! Why t'f MTV is putting it on their YouTube channel & not cable or Paramount+ is beyond me ... both of which lack content -- besides RWHomecoming, All Stars & a new Spongebob movie & series, Paramount+ doesn't offer any more then when it was CBS All Access but a new name & MTV plays Ridiculousness 22 out of 24 hours of the day 7 days a week!
everyone in that commercial with a exception of like two people i dont know should be in that 37 cast speculation thread.
its sad the best cast they've assembled since wotw2 was wasted on a commercial gig
This cast should've been called for 37.
Harry is a hot commodity right now and I am really surprised this is what he went with as his next venture.
Only watching this for Queen Natalie. Hopefully this opens the door for her to go back on The Challenge.
Why was she blacklisted anyway? Was really over Glittergate? Lol
apparently so. I mean we never saw her after that season but it's quite ridiculous how Josh was also fined even double the amount as her but still managed to come be casted again. I do wish that they cast her again on The Challenge.
Adderall-gate on FR and then Glittergate on WOTW lol
Wtf was glittergate
