VIDEOS Meet 12 couples from WE tv’s new Extreme Love reality series
WE tv just announced a brand new reality series that will most certainly be the talk of the internet! Titled Extreme Love, the series “takes an intimate look at incredible and unusual real-life relationships” ranging from “real-life polyamorous vampires, adult babies, swingers, feeders, sex robots, sister wives, love slaves, and shocking age differences.”
I could try to describe the show further, but I could never do as great a job as the jaw-dropping preview trailer. So, here you go:
Extreme Love is set to premiere on Friday, December 28 at 10/9c after a brand new episodes of the highly anticipated second season of Love After Lockup.
“No offense to Tom Jones, but sometimes love CAN be on the more unusual side,” WE tv president Marc Juris said in a press release. “We’re extremely thrilled to tell these very real and compelling stories of fascinating people who break with convention to stretch the typical definitions of love and relationships.”
The press release reveals that Extreme Love is based on a web series by Barcroft Media, so I looked into it a bit and found out there are already almost 60 episodes of Extreme Love available to watch on YouTube! Don’t get too excited, however, because the “episodes” are very short and range from roughly 4-10 minutes in length.
According to Real Screen, there will be eight one-hour episodes featuring five couples each. Some of the couples have more than one webisode, so that will help stretch the clips for the full 45ish minutes.
The WE tv press release includes descriptions for three of the five couples to be featured on the premiere, so I tracked down their original Barcroft Media episodes and embedded them for you below. One of the couples, 700-pound Monica and her feeder beau Sid, also had follow-up episodes on another Barcroft web series title Hooked On The Look, so I included those as well.
Monica and Sid, Fort Worth, TX. Sid will stop at nothing to support his 700lb girlfriend, Monica, and help her gain weight. Her goal is to become immobile and to become the fattest woman in the world. With Monica eating between 6,000 – 8,000 calories a day, Sid gets a real thrill out of helping Monica maintain her calorie count. But everything changes when she gets pregnant.

Kyle and Marg, Pittsburgh, PA. Everyone has a type, and grandmas just happen to be Kyle’s. Although he is deeply in love with Marg, his 91-year-old girlfriend, Kyle, 31, is not a one-woman-man. Enter the competition: Annie, a 68-year-old side piece. As long as Kyle is around, no one’s nana is safe. What will happen when he introduces his 91-year-old girlfriend to his mom?
* I could not find an Extreme Love episode for Dave and Shawna, but I did find the video report above. You can also read this lengthy article on the couple from the New York Post.
Dave & Shawna, Nova Scotia, Canada. While Shawna has her own obsession with dogs, her fiancé Dave has his own unconventional obsession – sex dolls. While Shawna’s family reluctantly accepts his fetish, will they be as accepting when Shawna decides to get her own male sex doll to join the party?
And here are more episodes from the couples featured in the preview trailer:
Jess & David – LOOKING at Jess’s collection of dummies and sippy cups, you’d be forgiven for thinking the pretty 21-year-old from Florida had a baby of her own to care for. But Jess’s collection of babygrows aren’t sized for a newborn – they are designed with her 5ft 5in frame in mind. As an ‘adult baby’, Jess likes to wear nappies, drink from bottles and ‘regress’ back to her infancy. A sexual abuse survivor, Jess, who lives in Lakeland, Florida with her 24-year-old boyfriend, David, says that regressing has helped her make peace with her troubled childhood. Now a confident and happy young woman, Jess says wearing diapers, babygrows and drinking from bottles has done more for her self-esteem than years of traditional therapy and medication.
Tony and Andrew – Playing fetch on all fours might seem like an unusual activity for a human, but one man who identifies as a dog says it has brought him closer to his partner. Tony McGinn, known as “Tony Bark” to his friends, says he has been into animal role-play his entire life, and refers to himself as a “human pup”. Tony, who is transgender, is supported by his husband and “handler” Andrew, 32, who accompanies Tony to regular play dates with other role-players. Tony, 30, of Los Angeles, told Barcroft Media: “To me a dog is everything pure in the world. Dogs experience the world through a lens of pure joy that I don’t think other animals have.
Sean and Mindie – Mindie Kniss reveals she and her husband live a normal life despite the fact that he is 2ft 8in tall. Mindie, 36, received unwelcome questions and comments regarding her relationship and sex life with Sean Stephenson, 35 who was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bone Disorder. At 35, he is just 33.6 inches tall with shorter than average legs because it affects bone growth. Mindie received an email from a woman who asked if Sean allowed her to cheat on him to satisfy her needs or if she was with him for his money. She responded publicly and revealed that they have a great sex-life.
Edward and Your Parking Lot At Work – Edward Smith, aged 63, a self-described mechaphile, said he has held intense sexual feelings for automobiles since he was 14. “I feel a tremendous sense of calm when I am with her,” Smith explained. “No matter how I tell people they are blown away. ‘What’s he do just stick it up the tail pipe?’ That’s all they can think of and the sexual satisfaction it’s not like that. It’s so much more. It’s about making a connection with this car’s spiritual energy. I’ve been with Vanilla for 30 years now. I still get the temptation to pull over the side of the road if I see a really cute car parked. But I don’t want to break my promise to Vanilla to remain faithful to her.”
Thom, Belinda and Reba – A polyamorous pastor with two “sister wives” has become a father for the twelfth time – after his 20-year-old “bride” gave birth to a baby girl. Reba Miller, who “married” Thom Miller, with his 44-year-old wife Belinda’s permission, gave birth to her first child, Catherine Angelica, last month. Now the devoted women and Thom, 61 – a devout Christian – plan to raise the baby jointly – with Reba calling herself “mom” and Belinda calling herself “momma”.
Nina and All Of Your Ex Husbands – Busty Nina Peterson has made more than $1m as a sugar baby – and has no problem with her young children following in her footsteps. The 37-year-old has spent most of her adult life pleasing rich, older men and has even had her suitors pay for her extreme body modifications. The 6ft tall mother-of-four has had her sugar daddies spend more than $100,000 on her cosmetic surgery, which included tripling her breast size from a 34C to a 34H. Her youngest children Juliana, nine, and Ymahni, 12, couldn’t be happier with their mother’s arrangements as they are regularly treated to exotic holidays and expensive presents by their mother’s sugar daddies.
Amanda and Amazon Lovers All Over The World – Meet Amazon Amanda – the 6ft 3 ins, 20 stone model who is paid to dwarf men. Amanda, 38, is a big hit with guys who like being squashed, crushed, wrestled or simply seen out in public with super-sized women. After growing too big to be a mainstream model, Amanda discovered a subculture where she could put her natural assets to good use. With 63 inch hips and a 44DD bust Amanda is worshipped by amazon fans all over the world. And shockingly she was once asked to crush a terminally ill client to death – so he could die doing what he loves. Despite the suggestive nature of her work Amanda insists nothing sexual ever takes place between her and her clients.
Paulo and Katyucia – Tiny Paulo Gabriel da Silva Barros and Katyucia Hoshino are the world’s shortest couple – each measuring less than three feet tall. The tiny pair from Brazil both have forms of dwarfism and stand at 34.8in and 35.2in respectively. But their height has no limits on their lifestyle – or their love – and they are hoping to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for their size. Paulo, 30, who has diastrophic dysplasia dwarfism, drives a specially adapted car and works as a legal secretary. He even has ambitions to run for mayor in his home town of Itapeva, Brazil. Meanwhile Katyucia, 26, who has achondroplasia dwarfism, owns her own successful beauty salon that has been specially adapted for her height.
Elisany and Francinaldo – Brazil’s tallest teen Elisany da Cruz Silva has had her dreams come true after her compact fiancée popped the BIG question. Elisany – who stands at 6ft 8ins tall – was delighted when her boyfriend Francinaldo Carvalho further increased the 1ft 6ins height difference between them by going down on one knee. Francinaldo – who is 5ft 4ins tall – proposed while the pair took a romantic stroll on the beach.
The show reminds me A LOT of TLC’s My Strange Addiction, and I LOOOOVED My Strange Addiction! I was already going to be tuned in for Love After Lockup, and I will definitely stick around for another hour — I mean, that’s about as exciting as my Friday nights can get! 😉
