Calico | Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 11:31 pm     http://www.mtv.com/onair/roadrules/season12/ Here is the link I think Donnell would be a great castmember. props to BMP casting him! Cara is really pretty and I have a feeling I will like her. I hope the voting off rule will be not in effect for this season. (I'm not sure what the title will be. South Seas or South Pacific. if it's the latter you can edit the title. I apologize if this thread is already made or it has to be moved somewhere.) |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 11:49 am     Calico, I think they are doing voteoffs.....Kristin, the TV Gossip person from E! Online,actually met the cast while filming , and she specifically stated she met only five of the six. She did not say if it was a voteoff or someone got kicked off, but it was implied it was a voteoff...links: http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Trans/Archive2003/030317.html http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Trans/Archive2003/030317c.html |
Frogichik | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 01:42 pm     Wilson, unless I read the article wrong, she states she was with 5 other "reporters" not castmembers. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 01:54 pm     from the second link: Q:Any hottie Road Rulers? A:Actually, something I think is very cool: They have their first overweight cast member this season. His name's Donell, and he's hysterical. The rest are, uh, yeah, pretty damn hot to trot. Though I only met five of the six, because, well, you fill in the blank. |
Seamonkey | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 05:09 pm     Filling in the blank from past seasons.. when they started voting out on RR, they also always substituted in a new person, so the only way she hit them with 5 members would be in the short time between one leaving and another arriving. RR South Pacific sounds like it could be interesting.. time will tell. |
Frogichik | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 11:10 am     Wilson, ok, so I'm an idiot, I didn't go to the second link! =) |
Azlen | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 12:01 pm     Word has it that Mary Beth was in one of Playboy's college girl issues and was also one of their computer girls of the month, so I guess that answers the question on whether or not there were any hotties. |
Calico | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 06:22 am     I missed the "casting special" but it seems that this time around, if the roadies lose two missions in a row, they have to vote off THREE people. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 10:49 am     Well THAT should totally destroy any sense of a team thing.. and the whole idea of having to travel together.. sigh. |
Max | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 09:51 pm     No, they said the rules are the same. Fail two missions and one person gets the boot. So, if you fail the first two, one goes. Fail another, another goes. Fail a third, buh-bye #3. That's apparently what will happen. |
Guinevere | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 10:51 am     Well, I also read some speculation that Abram (is that his name? Anyway, I can't stand him, just from the preview) and Donnell might get tossed out for fighting. The preview showed a rather heated argument between the two, with Dave holding Abram back and Donnell making what sounded like threats. Personally, from what I've seen so far, they can toss out five of them, keep Christena, and start over. I don't think I'm going to like this group. |
Ladybug007 | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 10:48 am     Guinevere...that would prob be why the producers took a different appraoch this year by showing the missions in advance to gain viewership....know what I mean? |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 10:58 am     I think the whole season is going to be when is the big blowup going to happen and all the hows and whys.....because I don't see them losing so many missions that they have to vote off 3 people. Based on the information Kristin from E! had when she was with them, it looks like whatever happens happens after the first person has been eliminated (We might get more information Friday, because Kristin will be doing an article on the show). Since the season is so far away from the States, I think they might not replace eliminated people this time around, just because it would take several days to inform someone and get them down to where they were filming......and Azlen, yeah, apparently Mary Beth was in a "Girls of the Big 12" Playboy issue, and then was the featured person on Playboy's website for January 2003. I've not liked RR lately...the first few seasons (8 years it's been since Season 1) were great, and it seems the show hasn't had that charm, trying to be like Survivor in the voteoffs..It used to be the journey was the prize, but now they won't let the people have that, they want conflict. As an example, take Sarah last season. A lot of people knew she was the "designated victim" when the time came for a voteoff. She never wanted to be on RR in the first place. She originally applied for Real World, but she was too young (It was for the Vegas season, so the producers limited the cast to 21 or over and Sarah was 19) so they put her into a bad situation on RR, and was just so out of place there and a lot of people knew it and didn't like it......But it's still popular, the show has been picked up for 2 more seasons... |
Ryn | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:09 pm     Its on tonight for those who might have forgotten (on right now for me). I changed the thread title to "South Pacific" - you were close Calico |
Seamonkey | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:13 pm     I noticed that there are two episodes tonight so I must have missed a casting special.. cool.. nothing else tonight really, so i can catch up. Ryn.. did you know that some post in a Bachelor thread has you linked with Trista?? LOL |
Ryn | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:21 pm     Whoa - really? I better go check on that!! ;) |
Ryn | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Was that the typo on 5/22? Man!! Got my hopes up ;) |
Ryn | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Hmmm - pretty boring 1st episode if ya ask me. |
Monkeyboy | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 12:11 am     Crap i missed it! |
Muse | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 01:11 am     Not a thrilling first episode, no. But I think anything will be better than Campus Crawl (location-wise, at least). So far Mary Beth, Dave, and Christena seem okay to me. I'm a bit more iffy on Donell and Cara. Donell's need for attention might get old. And Cara seems a little immature, and I'm not sure if she's going to handle the missions well or not (I *really* don't want another Sarah type -- I want girls who give every mission their all, darn it ). I really dislike Abram. Blech. Chauvinist, arrogant, weird (scarring stuff), immature, lack of self-control (apparently), etc. Not good. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 11:04 am     Boy, they sure picked Abram well (to fit the bad boy image). Nobody is going to like him!! I felt sorry for Donnell- he looked like he was going to cry all evening! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 11:54 am     I like Donnell, but didn't it occur to him that he might be climbing?? I thought they really let them (especially him) off the hook on that "mission" and he seemed to be pouting about it for the rest of the episode. Abram.. seems to not engage with people, and proud of it! Cara may have mission problems, but being teamed with Donnell on that first attempt, we really don't know. My theory is that Road Rules (and RW probably) has become more of a "factory" to churn out controversial/badboysngirls/exhibitionists to use on future challenges and other MTV shows. Too bad. |
Monkeyboy | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 03:49 pm     What a bunch of whiney babies! I only like Christena and Mary Beth, the rest can go. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 11:01 am     Donnell is really getting on my nerves! Abrahm has his problems but Donnell is treating him much too badly. It seems to me that as a large man who might often expect to be the butt of other people's jokes, he is overcompensating and taking advantage of the situation to "give it to" someone else. It seems like a symptom of very low self-esteem to me. |
Monkeyboy | Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 11:18 am     ITA Puttergirl. I liked how Christena was talking sh*t to the "island god" or whatever. LOL. I really like her. |
