[QUOTE=JEKFAN;331015]Jonna is pretty with a TON of makeup but other than that she really isn't that attractive. Emilee was the prettiest one of her season. I like her and everything but she defends Frank like she was on the challenge. I get they're friends but she literally says something to every single person on twitter who says something about him. It's annoying because she wasn't even there. [B]I wonder if she is still "banned" or if she ever was[/B].[/QUOTE] She was asked for Exes (I think) or maybe Battle of the Seasons.
[QUOTE=gamer73;331019]She was asked for Exes (I think) or maybe Battle of the Seasons.[/QUOTE] Emilee was an alternate for Battle of the Seasons, so she would have been on had Jonna (shudder) or Jasmine dropped.
If possible, can anyone specify what was so horrible at the conditions on the Ruins that turned cast members like Veronica, Casey, and Kimberly off? Was it just how bad JEK was?

There was no air cinditioning and they couldn't leavr the house at all. Add that they no longer were allowed to use cell phones or computers, plus the stress they said they endured from the guys of the house, they were all ready to move on.

I'm guessing the Ruins was the first challenge where they were not allowed to really use technology? Completely understandable as to why they don't want to do another, though I still would love if Kim returned and did another one, one day.

Veronice, Ibis, and kim were using the ruins to see if they would continue challenges....well we see what happened.
[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;331018]I must have missed this, but why was it assumed that she may be banned?[/QUOTE] Derrick said on one of his podcasts that he heard she was banned because she linked a bunch of spoilers about Cutthroat when she was on there. I don't if it was true, he said that a long time ago and she has been begging to get asked back but they haven't. Johnny also said she gossiped a lot about the show so maybe production doesn't like her? I have no idea but I would love to see her back!

I'm sure over time she'll be asked back and I would like to see her return too. We never got a fair grasp on what she could or could not do.
I have two Questions: Did the challenge got Renewed? Did availabilities calls already went out? ''@TylerDuckMTV: To my MTV brothers and sisters, with another #Challenge looming, who wants to start training with me at @soulcycle in weho? #Lookingto3Peat'' Frank Sweeney wrote back to him ''Down,down,down'' -.-
I like Frank, but he should definitely sit out the next challenge. 1 because I just generally think if you win a challenge you shouldn't be called back for the next challenge. 2 because it would be hilarious to see the ***** fit he would have that would undoubtedly be broadcast over twitter. and 3 to see how the ratings do without him.

If Frank is on the next one I want to see some of the power-house vets also. It would be fun to watch how the rookies do against the vets.
[QUOTE=alaskak94;331002]My take on this: People I want to see: Team Vegas, Laura, Marie, Robb, Chet, Devyn, Sarah, Cara Maria, Melinda, Knight, Jemmye, CJ, Danny People I wouldn't mind seeing: Ashley, Trey, Sam, Brandon, Frank, Zach [only cause those two would probably be casted again to keep ratings afloat], McKenzie, Wes People I never want to see again: Preston, JD, Lacey, Camila, Eric, Derek, Jonna, Jasmine[/QUOTE] I know the people that I do not want to see again from this past challenge and they are: Frank, Zach, Ashley, Sam, Laura, Jonna, Trishelle, and Brandon. Everyone else I could careless whether they were on another challenge.
I think we are seeing Frank and Zach again. :( I want to see Jonna again, but how she was on Rivals. She didn't hook up, kiss no ones butt, even if that meant going to an elimination round. I don't think we are seeing Lacey again, since she said on the reality radio podcast that this was the first time they have ask her to be on a challenge since her season of real world Austin in 2005. It took them 7 years to ask her and they just ask her in order to have Melinda/Danny. She was their only option since Johanna moved on from The Challenges and Rachel was pregnant. I don't two those 2 funny comments made her a priority to get asked again.
[QUOTE=alexad;331176][B]I think we are seeing Frank and Zach again.[/B] :(.[/QUOTE] Guys, please you should have saw this coming. Frank and Zach dominated the last season(Well they didnt had really competition), but they won the season. They are both pretty good athletes, they are cocky, they can deliver plenty of drama and they say that they are not afraid of any challenge(rs). Prefect background for a villain. They said on twitter that a rookie revolution was on the way. No matter how you shuffle it if Frank or Zach wouldnt be on the next challenge, BMP/MTV would make a huge mistake. Duel 3 ---> Zach is said to be the new CT! Frank said he is the smartest Real Worlder in history Ruins 2 ---> Zach& Frank won the last season. JEK and Zachary Franklin on one team? Drama would be huge Island 2 ---> Vets. vs. Rookies

Everyone else I could careless whether they were on another challenge.[/QUOTE] Well, you're definitely going to see most of them again. Only Laura, Sam and Trishelle aren't locks IMO to do at least one more
A Rookies vs Vets Challenge would just be another domination from the Vet. I'd like to see a mix of rookies & vets in a Cutthroat 2, with Mark, CT, & Johnny as the captains, and make sure Laurel, Emily, Ashley, Chet, CJ, and Leroy are there.

As they began to dominate the early part of the season, the audience began to disappear as their favorite cast members were eliminated. San Diego came into the challenge with the lowest ratings since London and nothing they collectively or individually did made any difference in adding viewers throughout the season. Anyone who thinks the challenges are about winners is being delusional about how TV works. Villains must the people many in the audience love to hate. This is why Beth was so good for ratings for so long. No episode she was in pulled fewer than 2M across the demographics. Frank and Zach may have won the challenge, but they cost MTV an audience and the good will of advertisers who had expected so much more from this challenge.
[QUOTE=V1man;331182]lowest ratings since London[/QUOTE] Are you sure, I thought London was a ratings success, or maybe that was just compared to the first 3 seasons.
The only person I want to see from San Diego and ST.Thomas is Robb just because I think he is cute.
I think we will definitely be seeing Zach, Frank, Dustin, Nany, Sarah, Marie, Trey, Knight, Jemmye, Camila, Cara Maria, Danny and Wes in the future if not the next one. I think it's possible we will be seeing Ashley, Trishelle, Chet, Devyn, Jonna, Jasmine, CJ, Derek, Robb, Laura, Mckenzie, Brandon and Melinda. I doubt we will see Lacey, Eric, Preston, Alton, JD or Sam again.
I would love to see Lacey again...mainly if Wes comes back. She had some great comments whenever talking about Wes that I thought were hilarious, I think she would be a good thing for Wes to have mentally too. Out of the people from this past season...the ones I enjoyed were Devyn, Sarah, Trishelle, & Mckenzie (Mckenzie didn't do much, but I'd like to see her again!) Any word yet if they've been renewed?
[QUOTE=Psy4potato;331189] Any word yet if they've been renewed?[/QUOTE] Just what Tyler wrote on twitter about another Challenge looming and people starting to train for it. He make it seem like availabilities calls already went out, since in another tweet he referred to other castmembers as &a"Any potential MTV #challenge contestant." But there hasn't be an official MTV confirmation, so no I guess.

[QUOTE=ILoveRW;331183]Are you sure, I thought London was a ratings success, or maybe that was just compared to the first 3 seasons.[/QUOTE] I have been wrong on occasion. I'm in Colorado without access to my full reality TV database, but even if I'm remembering the numbers wrong re London, my other comments hold true.

[QUOTE=V1man;331193]I have been wrong on occasion.

I also could be wrong. Why MTV casted Frank on Seasons is beyond me, totally not realizing he was THE reason why his season of Real World bombed especially since he had the most storylines and talking heads. if only they read vevmo for feedback. He now has put two franchises in danger. Nate wod have been better, or just 2 people per season.
[QUOTE=g30068g;331197]Why MTV casted Frank on Seasons is beyond me, totally not realizing he was THE reason why his season of Real World bombed especially since he had the most storylines and talking heads. .[/QUOTE] Thats not true. He was part of the reason but not THE reason. The cast was not put together well. Sam, Nate, Priscilla, Alex., Zach. They should have had 2 of them, 1 girl and 1 guy with Ashley, Frank and 3 others. Priscilla was also way too young for the show. She shouldnt have been casted at all.
I just finished a marathon viewing of the original Battle of the Seasons and it is shocking how terrible this season was in comparison. I was riveted to my computer screen for the original with nary a break for over five hours even though I had already seen it and knew what was coming next, while this season it was a struggle to stay focused on even one mind-numbingly boring episode at a time. I hope they figure out a way to fix this problem next season. If there is a next season.
I honestly want Frank to come back. It would be great TV to see frank vs johnny or Ct vs Zach. And there is a next season Tyler got a call. And Frank might be going as well. (according to twitter)
