"totally has a shot" is based upon what evidence? First, the executives at MTV must want the show to return. The support is simply not there. They are emotionally invested in their little Fresh Meat streat urchins.

it is clear that fresh meat was a bad idea. why not cut your loses and move on? just forget about the fresh meat kids and stick with what works. tell evan and kenny to take a hike.

maybe i'm wrong, but i have to believe that BMP is trying to come up with a new ideas like this.

MTV does not agree that Fresh Meat was a bad idea. They have a certain attachment to Kenny, Evan, Diem and Evelyn. There is some demographic suppot to their view, though I think they ultimately are wrong in the way they have permitted BMP to cast several past challenges and the way the challenges have been run.

I'd be most impressed if they hired Matt Kunitz to EP any future challenge. Matt was the EP and creative genius behind Fear Factor, and long ago worked at BMP. Overall, I don't think the relationship between BMP and MTV is rock-solid. I see more than a few cracks in the mortar.

thanks for the input v1man. i think it is certain that something needs to be done. some new ideas and spice needs to be brought back.

I can see the demographic appeal to Diem and Ev.......but KENNY AND EVAN??? that doesnt make sense............oh wait, yeah it does. 'Cuz most MTV viewers are morons and/or 12 years old. NOW i see the distinction...

I was just sitting here thinking, and I figured you guys could answer this question. Are they going to have another Road Rules? Or was the ratings bad again?

Ratings were horrid. Odds are better that we see Fresh Meat 2 at some point in the future to bring new folks into the RW/RR family.

That's disappointing to hear. I wonder why the ratings were so bad? I liked the show real well, it sort of reminded me of a challenge (with the whole pit thing). It kept me at the edge of my seat constantly......... Am I the only one who liked it? lol.
