No one is paid.

I believe everyone signed a contract in which they agreed to post at the site. Beth may be the only one who takes her commitments seriously, even when not included in the reunion show. She also regards it as a platform to take a few shots at the villiage idiots.

Beth doesn't joke with me on business matters or much of anything else.

Does anyone know what Danny did to make the vets so mad? It's amazing that with everything that seems to leak from these challenges, seemingly no one knows any information regarding this situation.

I know, it has been killing me, but I didn't ask since I figured if someone knew it would have already been brought up. I wonder if V1man knows, but he can't say

I know. We found out about every fight, every gauntlet and all the gossip about the "extracurricular activity" that went down (over six months ago.) It was like a cast member left the challenge then told all, as the details are deftly accurate.

Now that I think about it, the only thing that had not been leaked to this point was the Melinda concussion story and the incident with Danny (which I assume we will see tomorrow night.) Hmmm....wait a second. Something is not right here.....


*chooo choo* *Chug-a-Chug-a* *choo choo*

Beth wasn't included in the reunion show???? That's a first, isn't it?

Danny may have just made everyone mad just by being Danny. That kid is wound waaay too tightly, homeboy needs to lighten up!

Are you alluding to some sort of situation similar to that of David from RR: Viewers Revenge? Hmm...

Not a first for Beth. This was her 7th challenge, but I think she has only participated in three reunion shows. The stage only fits about 1o comfortably and they apparently had 14 for the taping -- a crowd . There is a formula that MTV uses to build their reunion cast. It begins with those in the final mission -- winners and losers, (obviously there are fewer people in the final mission on something like The Duel). Then they choose cast members who have a particularly dramatic story line that many people will remember, and that usually occurred late in the season -- like Coral's departure. Ev was there as a final mission person, so she and a couple of video clips can handle the Ev/Brooke thing; and, likewise, Coral and the vet guys can talk about Beth and say things they wouldn't dare say if she were present. Beth, herself, has said how much she detested the guys this season, and since MTV's thinks their little "Stale Meat" toads actually are interesting TV, they really don't want an articulate Beth telling the truth about them. Then they go for the hookups, especially if there is video. With that, you have a very full stage. You also have to remember that the challenge is not a big budget show. There is no way Viacom would allow them to bring in a full cast, and what would you do with them, anyway? The studio is about the same size as your average high school classroom, but with a stage, an audience, three cameras and several monitors/crew.

As for Danny, I'm not sure that whatever happened was really a big deal. It smells of "hype by edit" to me. Anyway, we will know tomorrow evening. He just strikes me as an alter boy whom the bigger kids pounded into the granite floor once too often when he was growing up.

V1Man, in general, how much reunion footage is shot that doesn't make it to air?
