Start the cameras... deadass!

Many Bravo fans watched Falynn Pina and Apollo Nida on their respective times on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. However, both Falynn and Apollo were in different marriages while on the hit Bravo show and have both moved on to new chapters in their lives.

Now, the two are returning to reality TV on the new season of MTV's Couples Retreat. Both stars are bringing their partners as they take a trip to Las Vegas and work out their relationship problems.

"It was really exciting when I got the call, not only for my relationship where we were having issues, but it was also exciting to get back into reality TV and for people to actually see who it is that I am. I feel like I didn't really get that fair shot on Housewives, but I'm back," Pina tells PRIDE.

"[Fans will see] a different mindset, growth, maturity, [and] evolving. Don't be defined from your past struggles. You can definitely hurdle over them, learn from them, and move in a positive direction. That's what they'll get to see... just a new me," Nida adds.

The couples are pushed out of their comfort zones while visiting Vegas by chatting with experts, going on fun adventures, and having candid conversations about their true feelings.

"There is a lot! There are issues that Jaylan and I had coming onto this retreat to really dissect. However, once we got there, there were a lot more other things that came to the forefront that we hadn't even had the chance to really get into. I can't wait for people to tune in," Pina says.

"I'm prepared for anything. I'm not astonished by much. When I did get there on the first day of filming, my guard was a little up, but then once I realized that everybody came in peace, I relaxed. It was a lot of fun," Nida says.

Couples Retreat premieres tonight on MTV. To see the full interview with Falynn Pina and Apollo Nida, check out the video below.
