We’re total suckers for reality dating shows, from Love Island to Love Is Blind, and yes, most recently, Love Overboard. But now? We’re ready for some full-on competition drama… especially when it involves some reality TV legends.
Enter the Unwell Winter Games, hosted by Call Her Daddy’sAlex Cooper. This four-episode reality competition, which takes place in Park City, Utah, follows 16 of today’s most “polarizing” pop culture personalities — think House of Villains, but make it chic. And trust us, they really mean polarizing. These are the people we never thought we’d see in the spotlight again… and yet, here we are, intrigued.
Once you see this cast list, you’ll absolutely be wondering: Where can I watch this reality TV gold? Unwell Winter Games will premiere on the Unwell YouTube channel on Monday, April 6. New episodes will continue to drop through April 9.
Without further ado, meet the spicy cast of the Unwell Winter Games. We’re getting you up to speed on who these reality TV stars are and where you recognize them from. Alongside Cooper, commentators Adam Waheed, Graydon Cutler, and Grace O’Malley will guide the chaos, and these contestants are ready to bring it.

Alissa Violet
The 29-year-old is best known for her YouTube and TikTok content. Alissa Violet appeared in Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child and was part of Jake Paul’s Team 10 before allegedly igniting drama by hooking up with his brother, Logan Paul. She also had a brief fling with DJ Marshmello and has dabbled in acting, including a cameo in Machine Gun Kelly’s “Love Race” music video.
Okay, a bit of an outlier in this influencer-heavy cast, Andrew Vetter is an Unwell production team member, looks good shirtless… and that’s about all we know right now.
Explain to us how an under-10K (Instagram followers) guy like Vetter ended up on the same cast as THE Anna Delvey?! We all watched Inventing Anna, chronicling her fake heiress scam. She served a brief stint in prison, got out, and even went on Dancing With the Stars. Her dance moves? Forgettable. Her attitude when eliminated? Legendary. Most recently, she made headlines for BunnyGate, after three bunnies used in her photo shoot were dumped in a park.
This guy’s a social media influencer, and sleuthing shows he’s got just under 750K followers on TikTok. That sounds impressive, but let’s be real, it’s not Instagram. On Insta? Under 2,000 followers. (Yep, less than me, so why am I not invited, Alex Cooper?) Honestly, it’s giving “men have to do less than women in the industry.”
And now a man we know… unfortunately. Dakota Mortensen is mostly famous for his ex, Taylor Frankie Paul, and their tumultuous relationship. They even made headlines recently over a domestic violence incident that involved the cops. He’s part of DadTok (because of course it exists, thanks to MomTok) and a minor character on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, using his ex’s phone book as a personal dating app.
Another former cast member of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Demi Engemann starred in Seasons 1 and 2, dipped into Season 3 during the Vanderpump Villascandal, and was out by Season 4. Most memorably? She’s the legend behind the Fruity Pebbles reveal. Seriously, we’re praying this gets addressed on the show. Let’s serve it at breakfast in the chalet, please!
Less Mormon, more TikTok, Dylan Kevitch is a social media star famous for his prank calls. He dubs himself the “gay Kim Kardashian” and is best known for the catchphrase, “Shut up and f**k me.” Let’s be real, he’s guaranteed to stir up some drama in the chalet.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
How do you know Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu? More like, how could you not? She won Love Island UK with Davide (he’s out of the picture), returned for All-Stars and left with a ballroom dancer, and absolutely slayed on The Traitors. Before all that, she was a star on Turkish soap operas. Truly an icon.
He was in a boy band. He starred on Love Island UK season 4. He dated Lisa Rinna’s daughter, Delilah Belle Hamlin, for two years. He’s… so close to being a someone.
He’s a Dancing With The Stars veteran, having starred in over 10 seasons. But Season 33 was his last, after he started a romance with Brooks Nader, his partner that season, which allegedly ended over his infidelity. Tut tut.
Hallie Batchelder is an NYC-based TikToker and Instagram influencer known for her chaotic, unfiltered stories, often centered on dating drama and confessions of overspending. She also hosts the Extra Dirty podcast on Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network, so honestly, it’s no surprise she ended up here. Bonus points: She was spotted with Noah Centineo in 2024, and we still haven’t forgotten it.
An OG from Vine (remember that?), Hannah Stocking has leveled up to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. This comedian is guaranteed to drop some unforgettable one-liners in the chalet.
“I’m a mommy” is entering the chalet. She stole our hearts on Love Island last season, and now she’s apparently dating Too Hot To Handle’s Louis Russell (who is also competing) — making the most of that villa fame.

Joe Amabile
It’s Grocery Store Joe! Remember him from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise? Oh, and of course, his stint on Dancing With the Stars. He’s also got a podcast now, but honestly, who doesn’t these days? Joe is also married to Serena Pitt, a fellow competitor on Unwell Winter Games.
If you watched Siesta Key, you’ll remember Juliette Porter for her epic feud with Kelsey Owens. She later popped up on Perfect Match, most memorably dating Love Island fixture Scott van der Sluis — before flipping at the end. Yikes. Redemption arc, anyone?!
Excuse me, Huda’s boyfriend is here, too?! Louis Russell is a charming, British-accented troublemaker who’s broken hearts on Too Hot to Handle, Battle Camp, and Perfect Match. Yet somehow, we can’t help but love the scamp.
Once again, an interesting pick on the men’s side! Niko Emanuilidis hosts the podcast The Daddy Academy and is still busy growing his social media empire.
Okay, now this is something different! Saraya Bevis, aka Paige, is an English pro wrestler famous for her WWE days. She’s also an author — her memoir Hell in Boots is a must-read — and the host of the podcast Rulebreakers.
Another partner in the chalet? Competition or relationship show, you be the judge. Serena Pitt is now the wifey of Joe Amabile after the two met on Bachelor in Paradise. Off‑screen, she’s also the founder of the Reset the Label brand. She cohosts Not Married To This with hubby Joe.
