So according to Danni from Bad girls club, some real world cast members get 24k as apperance checks for 1-6 weeks, no wonder some of them do some many of this:
I share the opinion of many others on here that would like to see a lot more new and/or less used cast members (BOTS 2 was one of my all time favorite seasons). But I also strongly agree with those that have maintained the fact that unfortunately the show is simply dependent on having these same veteran cast members (mainly bananas) on every season due to the mistake of casting them too many times in a row in prior seasons. I mean shit production dug themselves such a deep hole with bananas now being the "face of the show" that it goes beyond them just casting this guy every season. We already know without a doubt he will be there. Instead its gotten so bad that the bigger question going into every season is what kind of new ways will production make exceptions to the rules and create new twists and themes in order to not only make sure bananas is part of the cast, but also to give him the best possible chance to stay in the game and win it all. Its really pretty sad. It seems as if all of the remaining fanbase of this show is more or less just split into 2 categories at the end of the day; those that like bananas and hope he will win, and those that dont like bananas and hope someone else will win. (and for the banans fans out there let me just say also that i do respect him as a competitor as well as his ability to dominate the challenge. Even if production seems to throw him a bone, he still had to create that situation himself by winning, and thats exactly what he does....win.)
So now wether we like it or not we are stuck with hoping the show will be as entertaining as it possibly can be in its current "bananas dynasty" state. So in my opinion the only way they can do that is to add as many quality competitors as they can in order to give bananas a run for his money until ultimately the show either tanks and gets cancelled, or until that d-bag retires at age 65 (as you guys can see i am clearly not a bananas fan lol). I dont care if these quality competitors are brand new to the show, seldom used prior cast members, or the same repetitive ones we see every season. And thats where i differ from a lot of other posters here. I am in the unpopular camp that still wants to see leroy, zach, jordan, CT (maybe include Dustin on the list and im sure i am missing one or two others) come back because unfortunately they are still pretty much the best competition (or at least the best proven) to bananas out of everyone available new or old as far as im concerned. The show is simply boring as shit if bananas can come in there and get an easy win because no one poses a threat physically or politically and just follows in line with whatever he says. And thats exactly what will happen if they cast shitty rookies and vets (many of whom i am seeing have received availablity calls thus far). So i am probably the only one on here that would like to see at least CT, Zach, Jordan & Leroy back for this next season. And thats because i think it would be the best move for the show (both entertainment & competition wise). I dont see how so many people dont want them back (especially Zach). If you guys will look past the fact that zach is a **** to his ex gfs and talks shit about people in his confessionals, you would see that he is actually really good for the show and brings a lot to the table.
As far as this "bloodlines" theme, it seems like production is REALLY reaching here to make a splash. But i have no choice but to be optimistic and really hope that it will introduce some nice plot lines and drama in order to increase ratings and create more buzz about the show as it is clearly on life support right now. I am a long time fan like the rest you. Born in 86 and grew up with MTV throughout its glory years (minus the early 80's obviously) and it has been painful to witness it begin to decline into what could end up being a slow and painful death for them if they dont make some big changes and do it fast. So here's to hoping they can turn it around and give us many more challenges in the years to come! (wishful thinking i know)
Well Shit. This list is ok so far but i hope like hell there are more calls out there. I would like to see stronger competition on the guys side as the current ones on the list are marginal at best outside of CT and good ole annoying *** Johnny Bananas . Anyone know if Zach got a call? What about Jordan? I mean I understand most Vevmo posters hate these two (especially Zach). I personally find them to both to be funny and entertaining as hell. But more importantly they pose the greatest threat to Bananas and CT. So far this looks like it would be an easy ride to the end for both of them otherwise. And I know there are plenty of people here including me who would rather not see bananas win again. Plus at least Zach gives you guys someone to dislike and root against the entire time lol. Would be very disappointing to hear that neither him nor Jordan ended up being invited. I mean for gods sake, jay got a call? Jay?! Are you ******* kidding me? The guy is worthless to this show. And most of the others listed are hardly any better......
Zach and jorda atleast got availabilities calls same with Johnny R.
Ok good to know. And thanks for the updates! Well here's to hoping they will be on the final list. I would include Wes but I did see in a prior post already that he was either not invited or declined maybe? And unfortunately he just does not pose a a physical threat to anyone in the house anymore. Sorry to keep bugging you PinkRose but can you confirm if LeRoy got an availability call? I forgot to include him as he also provides good competition outside of a body of water lol. Does he have a bloodline they can use for him? He's the last one i'll ask about I promise since I am going to go back and try to read as many prior posts as possible.
Leroy got a call as fa as I know, but I am ***uming he declined since he is moving to Florida on June , starting a new job and I doubt his sister would do a challenge. But who knows with these people, they are really unpredictable at times.
Got it. thanks again for the update. Certainly hope he will be able to make it. but definitely doesnt sound promising. Anyway sorry for the essay above guys. Thats my rant for the night. Curious to hear your thoughts though. I am sure many will disagree with me but i always love good quality debate. And always respect other peoples opinion even if it doesnt line up with mine.
A Grantland article from 2013 states "each cast member receives a flat $4,000 fee for appearing on the show. "
If you click on the $4,000 in the article, it shows an actual contract they sign.
For those that used to listen to Derrick Kosinski's podcasts he said veterans (3 or more appearances) made $7500 fee for appearing on the show. This was before 2013 though.
Obviously, it stands to reason the likes of Johnny Bananas and CT have the leverage to require more, but I would find it hard to believe that more than can be counted on one hand would get $24,000.
Yeah same, if they game 24k or even 10/15k to every veteran + prize money for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, that would mean their prize budget would be higher than CBS' Big Brother and I just don't believe it is. $7,500 for vets and $4,000 for newbies is much more believable.

There is a different rank of vets, I know that for Free agents people like CT & Nany didn't wanted to do it production had to negotiated their apperance check to conviced them. To my understanding both got pay more than that.
Jenna/Tori Anne (Jenna's Sister) , Thomas/Stephan (Thomas Twin)
Madison/Rachel (Sisters) , Tony/Shane (Brothers)
Violetta/Irena (Cousins) , Adam R./Mikey (Adams Best Friend)
Jay/Charlee (Jay Brother) , Adam K./Mike (Cousins or Friends)
Wes/
Cohutta/
Isaac/
Jemmye/
Marlon/
Johnny R./
Dont hold your breath on any of the bold ones getting second calls or agreeing to do it.
Faith is still doing intership on the summer based from social network, doubt she would drop it for a tv show.
By what I heard Adam R he is still banned for Viacom lol
As for Dustin, his gf was tweeting negative stuff about MTV and BMP 2 weeks ago when second calls started going out and some people started to get drop like Trey/Laura/etc. She delete must of those tweets of her rant just left this one:

Really excited to see Adam K. and Cohutta on the speculation, definitively two of my favorite male competitors, and I know that maybe they wont bring ad much competition and drama value as CT, Johnny D., etc., but I love to see some "good guys" on the challenge once in a while... If only Landon would come back...
In the girls side, i'm really hoping for Latoya, Averey and Cooke... Hope they make it

Wait Adam King is being speculated??
Well, in the list posted by Pasqual, it says Adam K./Mike and I assumed it was him... Even though the post has no sources or screens, tweets, etc. Its nice to have his name thrown around.

I think they were referring to Adam Kuhn from AYTO.

Aww maan, we need to find a way to tell which one is which one... I was starting to reaaaally get excited about the upcoming challenge and care about the bloodlines theme
She always gotta write essays smh

I just hope averey, nany and Nanys hot cousin are on it. I wish Leroy was on it so he could win. I also hope he learned how to swim

Nany's cousin? Why wouldn't she?
Cohutta wants to do another one. He said so on twitter.
I would love to see Cohutta. He's so sweet!
BY what I heard from little birdies is that Nany's have another bloodline willing to do it. The cousin it was just for my fantasy list lol
I'm happy she has a big family. More chance that she'll be on!
Jessica from AYTO posted on instagram 'tb to when I was on mtv you'll see us again soon enough my loves'.
It was a picture of Christina, Bri and her. It may be nothing..
I hope not.
It's something.
But something... different.
They're probably gonna make a little appereance on AYTO3 or maybe a AYTO2 Reunion Special like AYTO1 had.
Exactly but of course they are acting like they are getting their own show...
Which was why having Simone, JJ, Adam and Brittany on was a mistake. They now think their season will get on too.
Only people for AYTO I care about being on the challenge are: Shanley, Dario, and Shelby (because Shelby is hot af, better than Nany)
So she's better than Nany because she's pretty? Well ok. Shelby is indeed pretty but Nany is entertaining.
Shelby is boring lol
He was invited but declined due to the format.
I said Shelby is better than Nany in the looks department not entertainment lol

Damn. Adam King would have been a nice surprise.
I don't know why but he always annoyed me for some reason.
