The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Discussion (SPOILERS)

The depressing thing about this is even though it's like a fresh meat I doubt we'll ever see the bloodlines on another challenge. They are wasting 11-15 spots just to be one timers. I'd rather have Fresh Meat 3 because at least that doesn't limit their casting pool and also might add some cool new regulars
Its to early to know, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the bloodlines are back after this if the shows continue.

They'll probably do what they normally do for Fresh Meat. Choose around 7 people who actually brought something to the show and make them regulars. 

I'll only watch if Sylvia/Violetta and Cory get on the final cast. If they don't, I guess I'll find something else to do with my time.

 

Cool. Thanks for letting us know. Everyone else please inform us what cast members MUST be present or else you'll pretend you won't watch.

If Lindsay RW7, Raquel RR11, the entire RR7 cast minus Gladys, Patrick RR13, Cara and Keri RW11, and Julie RW1 aren't there I WILL NOT watch.

Like I said last time, I totally understand if you take what I say with a grain of salt since I'm new-ish here and I haven't broken any news or whatever in the past. But I can confirm a few things.

1.) Like I said in the other thread, Bananas & Hannah have accepted. So they may not stick strictly to the "blood" aspect.

2.) Nia has accepted. Not sure who her "blood" is going to be.

3.) Wes has declined

Oh, please. Cut the dramatics, and hop off my tip, 'ight? Cool.

I'll retract my previous statement. It's definitely likely that I'll still watch, if anything, a few episodes here and there. However, I'm human and I have favorites, so if I'm disappointed that Cory and Violetta/Sylvia aren't there, I don't need anyone to jump me with sarcasm.

If they stick with Bloodlines they need to incorporate significant others to widen their options. Plus it would give an interesting dynamic.

That was the initial idea.  Don't know why people think it somehow changed to exclude S/Os.

Okay. I thought so. Good deal!

 

Which if it's co-Ed pairs with m/m and f/f then I'm assuming it's gonna be either individual or team.

Unless they get an equal numbers of males and females bloodlines. Have something similar as fresh meat, which would be a bloodline pair up with an alumni that is not their "bloodline". Then we would be stuck with pairs again lol

Think about what is involved in the process.  It's not like BMP is calling people on their list, finding out they are available and telling them they are in.  It doesn't work that way. Add into the equation that this time at 1/2 the cast will need to go through the full vetting: background screening, medical, psych profile.   After that is finished (it takes a few weeks), them BMP will put together a draft cast from those who have passed  -- and sometimes people don't pass -- before giving a proposed list to MTV which has final approval.  (For some reality shows, the insurance carriers also have input in cast approval.) 

In the past, some  a few potential cast members have mentioned on social media their travel plans to certain cities where testing takes place.  Has anyone, ANYONE, seen that happen yet; e.g.,  brother/sister from Phoenix with a pic together at a hotel gym LA?  I've not seen anything like that?  When we see that evidence, or info from someone telling us they were warned not to post such pics, then we'll know we're close to a casting decision. 

Bottom line:  Chill for now.  Impatience only raises blood pressure for no good reason.

 

I think we all know this, but you have to be contacted first in order to even take the test and what not to get on the show. And usually when you are contacted and ask to take the test its because you are wanted for the cast-- meaning they have an idea of who they want to cast and while maybe a couple if not more names may change, I think they have a gradual idea of what they are going for which IMO is garbage! 

As a fan of this show and someone who grew up with this show, like its my childhood, for the first time in like EVER I'm so disappointed with all of this. Like I want no spoilers because I don't care. I 'm not really gonna watch either because I don't care and Nia will be there too so that speaks a lot because I love her but this is riduclous. I would take anything other than this. And believe or not and I know I'll catch hell for this but I hope it does fail-- MTV as a network needs to go its complete trash. And I hope someone at BMP or MTV is reading this! LMAO

You have read nothing in the past few posts, have you? Lol.

Just chill, enjoy the ride. Why get mad over something you don't have control over? Why get mad over something that hasn't even been confirmed yet? Literally enjoy the ride, 95% of the time Vevmo freaks out about the casting and the seasons end up being better than what we make it out to be lol

Actually I haven't read this *********** why should I? I don't have too, to know what's up. 

And I am "chill" expressing my opinion just like anyone else around here. Problem? Shouldn't be. So maybe you should chill or back the **** off my post. Thank you! 

lmao okay. Blissfully ignorant. Gotcha.

Do you think there will be another twist this season? That seems to be the direction of things as of late.

Another pairs challenge makes me want to puke.

Probably

There better be some sort of a twist to eliminate pre-show alliances or a predictable outcome. That would kill this format...

You all do realize that this is not the CT forum. Please learn how to comment in the correct forums involving specific information. It's not that difficult lol

Hey molds, I've missed you!!

Robin is going to flip out if she is passed over for this one.  She pushed for this sucky format awhile back.

Nah, this goes back farther than Robin's tweet. Plus she's got a baby who needs some motherly love

Her twitter wars with her husband were messy that can be interesting tv lol but yeah I agree with lukernomore timing wouldn't be ideal for her

I agree that normal parenting logic would have Robin wanting to stick close to her newborn, but she seems desperately thirsty for another shot.  If asked, I think she would jump.

No she won't.  She is aware that MTV is not going old school.   She is in the circle of old cast members who were informed of the decision. 

And, as an aside, "significant other" does not mean boyfriend or girlfriend.   It's intended to imply a committed couple who may have no intention to marry or any belief in marriage. 

V1man can you reveal this circle of old school cast member?
Beth?, Robin, Mark?, Rachel?, Susie?, Darrell?, Abram?, Coral?, Aneesa?

or is it just the pre FM2 cast not being looked at anymore

yes please. That'd be great.

V1man, glad to have you back! 

My thoughts: 

I hope they have Leroy again. CT is probably not on this one due to the loss of Diem. I hope they have Darrell and possibly 3-4 vets. (Real vets)

Still praying for Marie/Kellyanne/Cory. If those three are on it then I'm good.

like Abram and Cara

Hold up. Robin had a twitter war? with her husband? That's more cringeworthy than child sacrifice.

That was 99% Robin venting...  Not much back from the "other" side.   She told me she know that her challenge days are over.      

 

..."Significant other"...

like Abram and Cara

Yes, but they have both said they wouldn't want to do another one together, plus Abram has also said he has some projects scheduled for the summer.

Beth?, Robin, Mark?, Rachel?, Susie?, Darrell?, Abram?, Coral?, Aneesa?   Susie's husband worked for BMP, so he's automatically out ...

Come on, LOL, you know I can't go there. Pleasantry

 

CT is the biggest name from the show and to casual viewers he always brings something.

'Currently' not all time.

CT has been through a ******* a lot. Regardless if you think he is good for the show or not, show some ******* respect. God damn it's disgusting seeing people hate on him so shortly after everything he went through.

I ******* hope he comes on the next challenge or as soon as he is ready and wins for Diem.

He has been through a lot. I think we sometimes forget the cast members on the challenges are human beings. This man just stayed by the bedside of the love of his life through her entire battle with cancer, never left her side. I know it took a tremendous toll on him too and I also know nothing could have ever made him leave her. It says a lot about who he is as a person, so some of the comments I've seen about how he's not a good person....I'd like to know where that comes from....because of past actions that were not perfect....well who among us is perfect.   By the way, this post is not really directed at the "currently not all the time" comment but more towards several people who have posted in the past week or so who have not been respectful in my opinion.
