Any RR fans out there?
Bbgunner | Tuesday, August 08, 2000 - 02:52 pm     I've watched both RW and RR since their beginnings. Guess it was only natural that I'd get hooked on Survivor and BB! Now that I read the Salon article Adamblast posted (http://www.salon.com/ent/tv/feature/2000/08/08/watching_bb/index.html), I understand why this season's RR hasn't been as good as the last few...Robert Caplain left as producer of RR and came to BB! Anyway, this is just a test message to see if there are any fellow fans out there. If so, let's start bashing the RR crew!  |
Ryn | Tuesday, August 08, 2000 - 03:30 pm     Yes - I watch all 4 shows -BB, Survivor, RW, and RR <sigh> and my wifes makes fun of me  |
Bbgunner | Tuesday, August 08, 2000 - 03:38 pm     LOL, Ryn. We have a lot of company. There was an email questionnaire circulating a while ago where you answer a bunch of questions about your like/dislikes and send it to a friend. The friend then fills in their answers and sends it back to you. It's a way to get to know something different about people in your life. I sent one to my pastor. His favorite TV show? Road Rules! Who knew?  |
Rollerboy | Wednesday, August 09, 2000 - 09:36 am     Another RR/RW fan here. Have been since day one. You are not alone Ryn. However, my wife enjoys RR/RW and Survivor. Hates BB. Doesn't understand my facination with BB. |
Jombie | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 07:18 am     I am just as bad off, except that I watch "Making the Band" as well... I think the RoadMaster is a horrible addition to the cast this year...although I have found Theo to be funny and refreshing... |
Rollerboy | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 09:14 am     Jombie-I warch MTB as well, wonder why no one mentions it here? I agree re Roadmaster. Also, what do you think of their challenges? For program named Maximum Velocity, they have been pretty weak, in my opinion. |
Jombie | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 03:06 pm     Rollerboy...I completely agree...I have watched all of the RR shows, and none can really compare to the excitement that Mark and Kat provided... These challenges (prison escape?) are totally lame...I guess they've used up all the good ideas already... |
Max | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 04:20 pm     Oh, for the days of Mark and Kat! I loved those two! Yes, the roadmaster is totally lame and the "adventures" this year are weak. Theo is the most interesting cast member and it was really great seeing him with his mom. You can actually see him maturing with each passing episode and that's cool. Kathryn, on the other hand, is giving all us Oregonians a bad name! |
Rollerboy | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 09:40 pm     Oh she's ok. Anytime you're feeling blue just replay scene of her (one phone to each ear) "mom, I just can't take it, I'm gonna die, excuse me got to talk to (forget b/f's name)", "sweetie, we have a problem sort of, remember Latarian, or "T" as I call him...". Too funny! |
Bigbrothergal | Friday, August 18, 2000 - 07:35 pm     Love Road Rules and Real World. And my all time fav is Timmy Beggy, the boy is just sooo out there. |
Tessa | Saturday, August 26, 2000 - 11:51 am     Just wondering how long RR has been on? I only saw it a few weeks ago for the first time. It was the "Europe" one. Is this the latest one, or are we in Canada totally behind? |
Rollerboy | Saturday, August 26, 2000 - 05:14 pm     It's been on for 9 seasons. Current season shows at 10:00pm WED on MTV and is called Maximum Velocity Tour. |
Tessa | Sunday, August 27, 2000 - 08:26 am     Thanks Rollerboy. Unfortunately no MTV here. The show is on the outdoor life network and I believe the next one to air will be the "Islands". Any idea how far behind this is? Thanks in advance! |
Jana | Sunday, August 27, 2000 - 09:43 pm     i notice that everyone loves the first year of RR....with Kat etal...i think that this is because it was new and it was more exciting to watch because the RR'ers had no idea what to expect...i don't see them having another BB, but if they do, i think a lot of the "coolness" will be lost, because the second cast would see how things work and they would have to really work on "surprising" them. |
Rollerboy | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 08:07 am     Not sure which season was "islands" as they have never done one like that. They did do a South American tour that included some island locations. However, several have featured some island location work. Also, last season was filmed on a cruise ship (semester at sea college organization). Sorry not to be of more help. |
Jana | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 02:25 pm     yes there was an islands one...i believe it was the one that started in Australia with Piggy etal....i may be wrong about the particular one, that one may have been just Australia, but i do know there was an islands one...Tessa, you can find out fairly easy by searching the net...try www.mtv.com and go to shows, or www.bunim-murray.com which produces the show |
Jana | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 02:26 pm     and p.s....tell us what you find, i'd like to remember which one was the islands one too! |
Rollerboy | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:35 pm     It was Australia. No one season confined to islands as such. |
Jana | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:49 pm     Rollerboy, i respectfully disagree, as an avid watcher there WAS a specific islands one, if i wasn't so busy i would do the research, can someone help me out here? if i have time later i will look it up jana |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 08:09 am     My mind isn't what it once was so you are probably correct , I just don't have a specific recollection. Seems all RR/RW's have had island locals at some point so that might have left me with wrong impression. |
Jana | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 09:11 am     my memory stinks too! getting old! i just remembered finally, the islands were the ones with Effie the cranky girl, the black guy with dreads, the girl that he messed around with, Timmy, and Christian the foreigner...i don't remember all the islands, i know one of them was Bimini...whew, glad i finally remembered it bothered me! |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 10:23 am     I thought Timmy and Christian were on the "Northern Tour" where they spent a lot of time in Canada/Northeast-North Central US and got new cars for the handsome reward. I think they had to drive them back from Alaska. Now I'm confused. |
Jana | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 12:22 pm     aghhh, ok, i'll legitimately check it out after work...just to put an end to this |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 02:17 pm     Jana-Don't waste your free time. Since I'm retired I know how valuable free time is. There was an island tour! Cast was: Erika, Jake, Kalle, Oscar and Vince. When I saw the names I remembered. At least I remembered Kalle and Oscar (small elfin blond girl and Puerto Rican guy). This was the one where one of the girls did the wing walking on the bi-plane. I don't remember much else. Sort of like European Tour (in that I don't remember much, except Balou the girl who went after one of cast with butter knife in resturant and was always throwing hissy fits in public). Back to you |
Tessa | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 03:46 pm     Thanks to everyone who's racking their brain trying to remember!! Since this "mystery" Islands tour starts here tonight, I will let you know which people were in it. |
Tessa | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 07:09 pm     Rollerboy, you've got all the names correct. The tour is named "Islands". The first challenge was paintball with previous cast member on a military "island" in San Francisco. Thanks again Jana & Rollerboy!! |
Jana | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 12:01 pm     Thanks goodness this season is over! could they have picked a LESS cohesive cast....by the end i was wanting to smack James....what a baby! and that marriage mission? (yaaaawwwwnnn) this was DEFINITALY the WORST RR ever! |
