We absolutely cringe at the thought of running into a former lovah, so we can't even imagine what the "Challenge" cast must be going through on "Battle of the Exes." Being forced to interact with someone with whom you shared personal facts--not to mention shower time--is a delicate doing, which is why we've always believed in steering clear of the whole thing altogether. But, if you're ever put in a situation that makes socializing with your ex unavoidable, here are some tips we recommend following, based primarily on big mistakes the cast has already made.

Don't Makes Moves If They're Already Taken
This one's a bit tricky, but chances are, if your ex-flame is seeing someone, they're probably over you. The caveat to this truth, of course, is the off chance that they're only hooking up with a fresh fish to make you jeals. Either way, you should proceed with caution and do the exact opposite of what Wes has been doing with his teammate Mandi.
Example:

Talking S*** Will Turn Out S***ty
If you can't stand the sight of your ex, well, you're not alone. Disliking the old beau is tres normal, but that doesn't mean you need to make that public information. Let's take Jasmine for instance. Her telling Naomi that Tyrie was still totally into her (which isn't really that apparent) was a very, very bad idea, and we can't wait to see how it unfolds in Episode 2.
Example:

Don't Run From Your Issues
When your mom told you that you couldn't have the lollipop you wanted for dinner, yeah, you probably stormed off into your bedroom like the age-appropriate brat you were, but if your former fling wants to sit down with you and--oh, we don't know--DTR, don't bolt off if he or she says something you don't like. Basically, don't do what Abram did.
