Wilsonatmd | Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 07:34 pm     bumped up because there's some info/rumors on the next season from Kristin on Eonline...it sorta makes sense, sorta doesn't, we probably need more info.... -It's not going to be a tropical destination this year...They're looking at East Coast US sites (She's hearing Newport, Rhode Island is a leading contender) -no inner circles or teams this time, everyone for themselves, one winner. -They're a twist in voting off it seems. They still plan to vote off in pairs apparently. If both the bootees are from the same show, they're both gone. But, if it's one from each show, the two people play against each other in a game, and the winner stays (and possibly gets to pick another person to eliminate)... -Shooting starts this month, the 26th. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:38 pm     well it won't be in Newport...they had picked a mansion to house the contestants, but the neighbors complained, and it turned out that there's a rule that no residence can house more than five unrelated people (it's common...they do this in college towns a lot because people don't want mass groups of people sharing apartments and throwing large parties). They supposedly have another location setup, but not on the east coast... |
Not1worry | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 06:52 pm     Thanks for keeping us updated, Wilson. The show makes me cringe, but I watch it anyway. |
Wilsonatmd | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 03:42 pm     Some new info, from Reality World TV ,it's slightly different from what Kristin reported, but the basics are the same.... -Is most likely going to tape in West Palm Beach, Florida. Shooting had been delayed by a week, will now start first week of July. -Tenative title is :"RW/RR Challenge: The Gauntlet" -Teams will be 14 members for each show (7 guys, 7 girls) -After Every mission, each team votes out one of their members (and all members are involved in the vote, no inner circles this time), BUT... -The two people voted off compete in a mini-challenge, winner stays in the game. -At the end, the final prize will be divided among the surviving members of the winning show (so it could be split as many as 14 ways or as few as one, if the winning team has only one member remaining) -Not sure if the game continues until one team is completely eliminated, or once a certain number of people have been eliminated, they have a final challenge, where the team with more members left would have an advantage. -no word on if everyone is vunerable every time, or there will be some form of immunity involved... Actually, the voting off format intrigues me....if you pick a person you sure could win in the minigame, you would strengthen your team by having the other team lose a member, but if you pick a person who would lose, you would then increase your share of the winnings...provided, of course, you can survive and win the game with a weakened team.... |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 05:49 pm     That is an interesting twist in the voting structure. Hopefully next season won't be dominated by Melissa-types who claim to be there for the good time and not at all for the competition, because that influenced the voting. |
Wilsonatmd | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 02:24 pm     ok...the location thing now seems to be refocused on Rhode Island again. If the town council approves a permit on Tuesday, taping will begin in Middleton, Rhode Island on the 1st, and tape for 4 weeks, encompassing 16 episodes....and it looks like the council will approve it (with an eye on the budget, because of the $4 million in revenues the town's businesses will get thru tapings) |
Puttergirl | Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 04:49 pm     Here, here, Seamonkey, I second that veto. Boo, hiss on Melissa. I hated her last season!!! |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, July 02, 2003 - 08:47 pm     Well it's become quite the mess....their second location in Rhode Island is now out, because some residents got a temporary restraining order so MTV couldn't get a license to house the cast and crew. They said it would cause a "nusience" in the town for the month they were filming, but some others have said the real reason is that they didn't want the town, which is very quiet, reserved, and conservative, associated with MTV. MTV is now looking for another site out of state, and filming is gonna be bumped back again. One of the producers is from Rhode Island and wanted to tape there to showcase her state.....Like I said, it's a mess. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 05:23 am     Understandable. Would you want someone to bring PUCK into your town? What if he decided to stay??? |
Seamonkey | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 11:23 am     Yeah you never know when they'll buy a house and stay.. Just ask the Newport Beach (California) police who have made a record number of calls on a certain Dennis Rodman, because of his parties, noise, little things like landing a helicopter on a public beach, etc.. Unfortunately Rodman also owns a bar in town, so you can imagine PUCK would be worse. |
Puttergirl | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 02:23 pm     For those of you watching Road Rules, it looks like Abahm will be on the next challenge show (from the Bozeman Daily Chronical) "Abram Boise has been invited back to MTV to participate in a Road Rules/Real World challenge show, which MTV will begin filming in July. He said he knows little about the challenge show." As a matter of fact, according to RealWorldRoadRules.blogspot.com, the cast so far is: The Real World: Norman (New York) Nathan (Seattle) Matt (New Orleans) Coral (Back to New York) Mike (Back to New York) Malik (Back to New York) Trishelle (Las Vegas) Road Rules: Timmy (USA Tour 2) Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) Katie (The Quest) Abram (South Pacific) |
Seamonkey | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 02:38 pm     Man, I'm tired of some of them.. is Norman still going to be doing challenges when he's 50? Theo and Mike seem to be making a career of it also. Trishelle.. well it was inevitable, but BOOO! Malik, now that's COOL. I like him. Matt, hmm.. could be ok, could be annoying but at least he's fresh. Nathan, meh. Coral, who really bugged me on RW, I got to liking more and more on the challenge, so that's cool. |
Puttergirl | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 03:07 pm     I didn't see Trishelle as very athletic. She could be another Melissa- whining about EVERYTHING!!! On the flip side, there'll be 18 new men she hasn't slept with yet!!! |
Jedisan | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 04:07 pm     ROTFLMAO Puttergirl. I couldn't have sid it better myself! |
Cjr | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 04:32 pm     If Trishelle is going to be seen picking through 18 new men I DO NOT want to watch! LOl |
Jedisan | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 04:34 pm     I will co-sign THAT CJR. |
Cjr | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:00 pm     But like the infamous train wreck, I will watch! |
Jedisan | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:03 pm     ditto cjr.

Laura11103 | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 05:16 pm     Oh goodness... Coral and Mike again! Jeez, they seem to be running out of ex-es to cast. Norman again, Theo and Timmy again... they need to dig out some new ex-castmembers like maybe Julie from NY or Kit from RR's or I wouldn't mind seeing Lindsay again.... |
Seamonkey | Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 06:17 pm     Well it is clear why Trishelle is going to be there I'd rather never see Lindsay again and most of those I would like to see have actual lives and careers or have moved on.. Still seems like there are some who much be on the permanent challenge payroll or something. |
Pantageas | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 05:09 pm     I think TPTB must be putting something in the water... "Jeez these people are idiots! I can't believe this is on TV! I can't believe I'm actually watching this!......What time is it on next week?!" |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 11:20 pm     I hear you, Pantageas (in fact if you were yelling REALLY loud I might ACTUALLY hear you, depending where you are in OC) |
Puttergirl | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Here's some other wierd news about Trishelle (from http://realworldroadrules.blogspot.com/) "Trishelle (Las Vegas) will be starring in an off-Broadway play once she gets off the Challenge filming right now. It's a revolving cast that also stars Jenna Morasca, the million dollar winner of Survivor: The Amazon." They also had this to say: "And Jonny Moseley is supposed to reprise his role as host. Anita recently heard Moseley on the radio talking about going to Rhode Island to film the next installment of the Battle. This is unclear on whether or not he'll actually appear. But for now it's just a rumor." Just found more about the play Trishelle will be in (from http://www.playbill.com/news/article/80490.html) "Jenna Morasca, the recent winner of CBS' “Survivor” and soon-to-be Playboy covergirl, makes her Off-Broadway debut in Pieces (of Ass). The work, which will play at Theatre 80 July 10-Aug. 3, will also star Trishelle Cannatella (MTV's "Real World"), Kirsten Buschbacher (ABC's "The Bachelor"), Carol Grow (FHM's "100 Most Beautiful Women") and Lori Heuring ("Mulholland Drive,” "The In-Crowd"). ... The rotating schedule is as follows: Jenna Morasca (July 27 and 29), Trishelle Cannatella (July 10-13), Kirsten Buschbacher (July 15-17), Carol Grow (July 25-27) and Lori Heuring (date TBA). More featured guests are to be announced. "

Seamonkey | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 07:50 pm     Sounds just enchanting (NOT). |
Puttergirl | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 02:01 pm     According to http://realworldroadrules.blogspot.com/, the challenge is now in Telluride, CO and will have:
Elka | Irulan | Montana | Rachel (BTNY) | Sarah (Campus Crawl) | Trishelle | Veronica | |
| Abram | Alton | David (NO) | Laterrian | Matt (NO) | Mike (BTNY) | Theo (Chicago) | Shawn (SAS | | | | I can't imagine Sarah from Campus Crawl. She's afraid to try anything. She'll be even worse then Melissa last year!! |
