'Ex on the Beach': Cameron cannot bear to see Ariana and Mechie grow closer and tries hard to ruin her day

Mark and Devin finally confronted Cameron for his manipulative behavior as Cameron threatened to beat them up

Last week, Cameron's ex Alexis was voted off the show after the girls decided it was best for her to be away from Cameron and work on herself. This left Cameron on the island with Ariana, the ex he rejected when he picked Alexis over her. So when Ariana tried to move on with Mechie, Cameron's manipulative behavior came to the fore again. At the end of the episode, Cameron berated Ariana leaving her in tears causing Mark to step up and call out Cameron for his behavior.

It's Crush Week and Aubrey has won the vote for the romantic date and she picked both Coffey and Mark to have a date with; she knows she will have a great time with Coffey but she also wants to explore things with Mark more. When Aubrey choose both of them, Cameron ironically calls her out for "stringing both of them" along and many fans fumed at his comment. One fan rightly said that "Aubrey and Cameron are not the same. Aubrey was honest with both of them from the beginning. #ExOnTheBeach". 

But if viewers thought Aubrey's "thruple" date was going to be scandalous, it is Cameron's manipulative behavior that left everyone from the singles, the exes and the viewers at home disgusted.  

Billy and Mechie have a man-to-man chat to talk about Ariana and Mechie possibly asking her out. And while Mechie is divided on moving on with her considering she is Cameron's ex and Mechie's exes are still to show up, he agrees that she is a cool girl, eventually asking Ariana to spend some time with him. This does not sit well with Cameron and through the whole episode, he is seen sulking and being obnoxious. And while Cameron told Mechie he had his blessing to take Ariana out, Cameron had a separate conversation with Ariana where he said that he just wanted to make sure that Ariana's doing this for herself and not as some sort of revenge on Cameron. This right away pisses off Kenya who tells Ariana that Cameron is straight-up manipulating her.

Later, after Billy's ex, Emily showed up on the beach (making Billy possibly the happiest guy around), the group decided to have a circus-themed party. Ariana and Mechie are together at the party, kissing and touching each other, which made Cameron angry that they were "disrespecting" him. The next day, Cameron took his tricks up a notch when he has a conversation Ariana, warning her that Mechie told him that he would definitely end up with his ex only, and asking her why she was not giving Cameron the respect that he apparently gave her when Alexis was on the island. Poor Ariana is done with Cam's hypocrisy now while Mark and Devin are angry that Cameron is still trying to manipulate her. 

When Cameron started talking about Geles, she reminded him that he told Geles that she shouldn't have to worry about his exes after which Cameron even admitted that he lied to Geles (but according to him, because Geles lied to him as well). Mark has had enough now and openly confronted Cameron for all this scheming and lies. 

But our favorite part comes after Mechie says Cameron gave him the okay to go for her and Devin rightly said that Ariana is "not a piece of meat" and "is an actual person who is pretty dope". Devin even pointed out how Mechie sees this and is treating Ariana better than Cameron has ever done. He even corrected Cameron's "baldfaced fact", exasperatedly looking to the sky and saying "bold, not bald"

As Cameron's "shit-o-meter" (as Devin calls it) goes higher and higher, it's clear that no one is on his side. And as the episode ended, Mark and Devin continued to call him out as Cameron finally threatened to "beat the shit out" of them with Ariana watching on crying. Mark and Devin were the heroes of the night for finally standing up to Cameron on behalf of the girls and pointing out all the lies he tells them.

But wait there's more, it's Cut Week next Thursday on 'Ex on the Beach'. Kenya has revealed that "the exes have the power". Does this mean Cameron's behavior will finally catch up to him? As we know someone will be going home soon? Will be Cam? Tune in to 'Ex on the Beach' on Tuesday nights at 9/8c only on MTV.
