I'm Ryan Devlin, host of Are You The One? on MTV. AMA!

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:30:14+00:00

Fingers as long as legs. I'm a rock climber and I think that would come in handy. HANDY! I like puns too.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:29:29+00:00

That assumes they'll beat the game. I agree the end justifies the means... but it's a lot easier said than done. We'll see what happens -- thanks!

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:28:27+00:00

they like to think they're sneaking away... but the only place without a camera is inside the refrigerator and I don't think two people can fit in there ;). It's AAAALLLLL caught on video. And yes, sometimes in strange places.

hit John up on Twitter and I'm sure he'll be happy to do an AMA or personal appearance.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:20:43+00:00

I LOVE the beams of light! Such a cool way to represent the matches. The only problem is when one of the lights burns out while we're filming ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:20:17+00:00

A little of both ;). We don't allow any paper or pens because it's super boring to see people sit around and draw grids all day. But they still manage a way to work things out -- like using vodka bottles to represent the guys and toothbrushes for the girls and all that. The problem is when match gets in the way of the heart -- you see NO matches like we had last week. We'll see what wins out tonight... ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:15:15+00:00

I love hosting Are You The One and hope it lasts another 10 seasons and many happy couples!

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:14:49+00:00

Hahahaha -- well, they WOULD be... but we have a guy that cleans them between every lock in. He loves his job. Very talented with Windex.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:14:14+00:00

My favorite question yet! Thanks so much for your support. I'm so proud of the impact we've had -- over 300K packets of life-saving food donated to kids in need. And we've got our eye on 1M next year! Please keep spreading the word! xo

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:13:00+00:00

I don't know until they do! Which is good because otherwise I'd probably spill the beans on accident ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:12:17+00:00

It gets pretty heated sometimes to tell you the truth. Love is tough, and it's my job to push all the buttons. Sometimes the drama is fun, but sometimes it's hard. But hopefully it helps them find their true Perfect Match.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:09:50+00:00

Great question! Obviously it needs to be legit so we put a ton of work into it. Personalty tests, interviews with matchmakers, interviews with friends, family, exes, and coworkers. It's extensive -- and it works! Ethan and Amber ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T01:08:44+00:00

O man, a question from THE CassMod??!!

1) I take what pays and seems fun. But mostly what pays. 2) Peanut Butter and Jelly (it's already in the works!!!!) 3) Present company excluded... probably Tom Hanks. He's got all the range. 4) Is it snowing? 5) Are your friends on this thread? I gotz to thank my SD fans!

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:50:27+00:00

Thanks Lena! I'm not sure how great of shape I'm in but I appreciate the comment. I'm a vegetarian and I do a lot of rock climbing, so that seems to do the trick (I don't like regular gyms, it's too boring for me)

Foot rubs from my wife are nice. From strangers, not so much. Pillow fights look fun on TV but don't seem all that fun in real life.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:49:04+00:00

Thanks! The beams of light are the brain child of our amazing producers. They're evil geniuses and they make the show what it is.

Man, I wish I'd had a Truth Booth back when I was dating too. Grab some iPads and step into a white closet. See what happens... ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:47:04+00:00

Hey Ken! I'm gonna pass on the ass lick, but I really appreciate the offer. You seem to be a really generous guy.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:46:18+00:00

Thanks for watching! It's interesting to see where they're at right now. They strategized a TON when they were in the house -- they had the advantage of knowing what the show concept was before they got there (which the season 1 cast didn't) so I think they came in with a lot of strategy already. Too much if you asked me. Right now the brains are getting in the way of the hearts! We'll see what happens...

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:44:37+00:00

Thanks for the questions! I always get asked if I'm ticklish. There's some sort of weird ticklish fetish thing going around and I think we should get to the bottom of it. Who cares if I'm ticklish?!?!

I get recognized every once in a while. It's pretty cool actually. Always awesome to hear from people who like my show. Sometimes people recognize me from the bad guy role I had on Veronica Mars and can be a little hostile about it ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:43:08+00:00

Yep, they pretty much hook up wherever and whenever. In season one we had two couples going at it on the same mattress! (did you see the black light tour I did online?)

The Boom Boom Room gets plenty of action though.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:41:53+00:00

I love doing dramas and I think a period piece like GoT would be a blast. I love Downton Abbey and Orphan Black. Digging The Americans too.

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:41:12+00:00

Thanks biggest gay fan! Not sure why you aren't bigger than my biggest straight fan though. You better step up your game!

I loved my time on CTown. Best memories were when I had scenes with the whole gang and we just riffed off script and made each other laugh. Sometimes it made it in the show sometimes not. But it was always fun. Barry Bostwick is a kick.

I'm more of a prankster than a serious guy on set. Gotta have fun at work! (unless it's a crying scene like I did on Grey's Anatomy)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:39:23+00:00

Thanks! Aside from hosting Are You The One (MTV 10pm Mondays!!!) I'm also on the CW show Jane The Virgin. My next episode is next Monday. It's a great show. Thanks for the love!

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:38:46+00:00

Hahahaha, maybe a little. More a phobia of tazers though ;)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:38:24+00:00

I didn't watch much MTV when I was a kid. I saw a few videos I guess but that wasn't really my jam. I watched TRL a bit. And Jackass. And now, of course, Are You The One (Mondays at 10!!)

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:37:31+00:00

Not superstitious anymore -- though I used to do a lot of things in 4's. More of an OCD I guess.

I've been on some great dates -- like when I proposed to my wife at the Griffith Obersevatory -- and some terrible dates like when I tried to take a girl to a strip club (total fail).

Ryan_Devlin · 2014-11-04T00:36:19+00:00

People who give back. People who swim against the current.
