Can Tina even come back after hitting Beth? I know it was barely a little tap but did she get banned for it, or is she still on the playing field?

Doesn't sound like she would be welcomed back even if she could return per the rules, but what do I know.

because now it should be Paula Coconuts

Johnny Banannas and Paula Coconuts... All we need now is a little Captain Morgan to get the party started.

Sometime people come back. I wish I could explain BMP's philosophy on this; but, having been directly involved in two of previous incidents on behalf of clients, I'm completely at a loss to understanding the rationale.

All I can say is that I believe it would be an exceptionally unwise move for MTV to bring Tina back, as Viacom's attorneys are very well aware. There is evidence that it was a premeditated assault on Beth and not a spur of the moment incident. Conveniently, Tina announced that she had moved past the point of being at all interested in another challenge, so it is a moot point.

Why am I not surprised?

Geez with a cast like that, this challenge is gonna be a snoozer unless they do something COMPLETELY different as far as format goes. Its good to see my boy Dunbar and the lovely miss Tonya is on it.

At this point I must comment...why the hell is it only the newer people on these challenges??? I would absolutely LOVE for a couple of vets like Theo, Adam, Coral, Rachel and Veronica to do another challenge. Hell even Evil Emily would be better than some of the fresh meat (speaking of them, notice that Kenny is on there without his bf (I mean bff) Evan...he gonna be all lonely awwww).

Now for the cast. I can not say that this will be the final list (I am sure a few names will be added and maybe one or two subtracted.) However, I can say with a high level of confidence that this will basically be the cast that we end up with when Challenge 2008 hits the airwaves this fall.

Ashli Robson - (The Real World Sydney)
Kelly Anne Judd - (The Real World Sydney)
Colie Edison - (The Real World Denver)
Johanna Botta - (The Real World Austin)
Robin Hibbard - (The Real World San Diego)
Tonya Cooley - (The Real World Chicago)
Jennifer Grijalva - (The Real World Denver)
Evelyn Smith - (Fresh Meat)
Paula Meronek - (The Real World Key West)

Ryan Kehoe - (Fresh Meat)
Cohutta Lee Grindstaff - (The Real World Sydney)
Dunbar Flinn - (The Real World Sydney)
Johnny Devenanzio - (The Real World Key West)
Dan Walsh - (Road Rules Viewer's Revenge)
Derrick Kosinski- (Road Rules X-Treme)
Dave Malinosky- (The Real World Hollywood)
Kenny Santucci - (Fresh Meat)

I wouldn't worry about poor Kenny. Ryan was nice to Tyler when they were on camera. I'm sure if the nights are cold, he'll make sure Kenny doesn't miss Evan too much.

Why the newer people? Because the MTV execs see the youngest viewers as the heart of their audience... an audience who only cares the cast is skewed towward their age, regardless of ability, etc. They want the casual viewers and know that we will keep watching no matter how offer we say we're not going to. Their approach is one reason I prefer not the work for any network. They don't appreciate that the real key is to steal people from the shows in other demographics. There are at least 3 million former Real World and Challenge viewers that have moved on to something else. When the old school types reappear, the ratings spike in the higher end of the demographics.

Theo, Coral, Rachel and Veronica have all said they've retired their challenge spurs. Adam has not.
