Don't take this personally, because you've just given me an excuse to point out that careful reading of what Lord Bacchus writes is important. People read a name and instantly jump to a belief that is often most misplaced, and in hingsight, silly.

"Replacing" Tyrie isn't accuracte, because it appears that he was never on the casting list. "Replacing" suggests to me that he decided against doing the challenge after first agreeing to do so, agreeing he or others discovered that he was unable me meet the terms of the offered contract, or the invite was withdrawn by BMP for some unknown reason. The only reason his name came up here was as the result of something said by a very infrequent poster. Other websites gave the name life after reading it here. Not a single one appears to have checked to see if there might be evidence that it was true or false, the standards of journalism regrarding sources of such things having not been a priority in many quarters.

I dont take it personally. You are just correcting a frequent mistake. It's okay.

Well, I would like to see another Hollywood castmember be the missing spot. It would be nice to see Dave not be alone. Joey would be great for the Challenge. He would probably be a brute.

Sure she would bring the drama, but that girl just gave me a headache with her holier than thou, racist, "I am never wrong" personality. It wears thin real quick and she learned absolutely nothing from her Real World experience so why even offer her a slot on a challenge, they need to be offering that girl therapy not a publicity oppurtunity. Besides she teaches young girls that watch these shows (right along with us) that acting like that is okay, and it is not...in the actual real world.

Yeah, I did hate how she used her religion as a way out of everything and she acted so holy. Religion is great but the way she was using it was annoying. Yeah and thats why I loved Parisa. She never took her crap. But her in a Challenge would be different. Imagine her getting physical.

Her as in Trisha. I think it would be interesting.

Parisa would also be interesting in a Challenge. I think she has the mental ability to take her far.

I think she has the mental ability to not need to go in the first place. Of course, I like to suck up from time to time.

Haha. Definitely. But Parisa is one of my favorite five castmembers ever and it wouldn't hurt to see her do a Challenge.

I'm excited to hear the final cast. A lot of newcomers to the Challenge brings my hopes up because we never know how they are going to be. I see Tonya taking them to school.
