Notes and Trivia[]
- This season marks the first appearance of Deena. She was originally cast in the first season but had to pull out due to a family emergency.
- While the third season was being filmed, the second season was airing on MTV and producers had the cast sit and watch it. This was the first time Sammi saw the whole thing at B.E.D. play out, which caused her anger at Ronnie and Jenni.
- This season marks the first appearances of Jionni LaValle and Roger Mathews.
- According to Nicole, producers took her and Pauly aside and told them they were the only two cast members that were going to return this season. They would've had an entire new cast, but in the end they didn't go through with this idea.[1]
