I have to say that the past two challenges have been on the up casting wise. Getting Rachel (RR) back for the Island was a huge step and with the duel 2, Landon, Ruthie, Mark and Rachel are all great additions. I wouldn't be surprised if BMP gives us a few good surprises with the casting on this one.
[quote=jhl182;57612]im pretty sure veronica HAD a boyfriend. It says she's single on facebook.
but i remember Katie talking about Rachel saying "Veronica's her protégé". It'd be awkward if [B]veronica ended up doing a challenge and rachel was on it as well since they're not together anymore and not friends[/B].[/quote]
How do you know this and why are they not friends anymore?
I never liked Veronica at all!
they were together for a while starting from like "The inferno II". They lived with each other but they broke up and don't speak anymore. They're not even friends on facebook or myspace.

Perhaps "rivals" better describes their present situation?

So here's my full take on the casting of the next challenge.
It will consist of People from the Last 6 seasons of The Real World and the Fresh Meat kids
and then throw in a couple of Road Rulers and some older castmembers.
That's my take.
I wonder if CT will be called on again and possibly make it at least to a mission. I know CT gets a bad rap, but I mean as a tv viewer though, I find the guy to be pretty **** entertaining.

In a thread on the appearance of the Brooklyn cast at the Paley Center for Media last Dec 5, I reported on a conversation with Jon Murray, BMP's CEO, in which he confirmed to me that CT was a liability the company could ill afford. (Yes, in Dec, I was talking to him about the Duel II)
The history of CT's behavior, not edited present intent as seen in the Aftershow, would be seminal in any insurance underwriter's folly to even quote a rate for production insurance for any show in which CT appeared. Remember, someone has to pay for the damage he did to the private home used in NZ, the medical bills, and the legal bills potentially faced as a result. Underwriters must carefully weigh the financial risks involved.
That sucks. He seemed to be somewhat calm on the aftershow, but with CT it always seems to be two sides to him. I can see though why they wouldn't want him back now. It is a shame though because I really do find him to be very entertaining and I mean drama is why I watch these challenges lol.

The question is not do they want him back, because of course he is good for ratings. The question is all about risk...

Do they have to pay that same insurance for having him on an aftershow?
[QUOTE=hpkhg45;59062]Do they have to pay that same insurance for having him on an aftershow?[/QUOTE]
It depends upon the insurance package that was purchased. It is likely grandfathered into the one which covers the entire production of The Duel.

Imo, with the ratings being as critical as they are now for the future existance of these shows, I'd expect to see CT again and soon. Yes, he is a liability risk, but that risk factor is a ratings boom. Furthermore based on your claim that BMP wasn't going to assume laibility for any other contestant who put themself at risk in CT vs Adam, it seems to me that ratings is indeed their top priority. If they were worried about risk, there is no way he would have been allowed to be up on stage with Adam just a few short weeks ago on the Aftershow. In addition, he edit was supurb, and even the vevmoers here who had written him off, as well as Adam himself was compelled to pity him to some extent and agree with some of the points he made about the altercation and Diem.
Yes, I did see when CT went on stage, he was perhaps guarded by security, but I am curious if some sort of pre show waiver was signed by CT to appear. BMP could make moves to shift accountability and reduce risk.
So when will the cast be revealed. I heard that there are some vets in it. Hopefully vevmo will bring it out. Surely there will be alot of surprises. :)

I learned earlier today that some of the crew and prospective cast have made a decision not to participate in the next challenge should CT be involved.

Ok. Now this is crazy. I like CT and can defend him somewhat; however he SHOULD NOT be allowed to come back to another challenge. He wished death upon Adam, and would have delivered if they did not stop him. I would not feel safe if I was a cast member. I hope the entire cast will strike if he is asked to be back on the new challenge.

Well, most of every challenge cast is comprised of veterans, so I'm not sure of the point you are making.

Assuming you would agree that one should have already done 4 challenges to be the kind of vet you list, then there are about 32 eligible.
I heard a lot of information but I choose not to reveal just yet. But I think we should start narrowing it down soon because I heard they were leaving soon for filming. Well we all know Robin will be on it and no doubt Paula will be there. So thats 2 narrowed down.
[quote=molds13;59462]Rumor has it that the next challenge is going to be called Revenge, to take place in Hong Kong.
UPDATE: Never mind. My information is incorrect![/quote]
Thats too bad because that would be awesome.
I'm getting antsy.

You are completely delusional. :suicide2: Because I am involved in contract relationships with some cast members, I can't contribute to a list of who will be there. I definitely know who will not be and so far you are not doing to well.
[quote=meonlyme25;59492]You've just given me a sliver of hope that I can finally enjoy a challenge without having to endure either Robin or Paula![/quote]
You can enjoy!

I was just making guesses because Robin said she will do one until she wins. And Paula just usually does every challenge. So thats where my guesses come from.

Good to know that they were "guesses." What you wrote before was "Well we all know Robin will be on it... " That didn't seem much like a guess and visitors here for the first time might have thought you were stating fact. We see people quoting vevmo elsewhere all the time and they don't know which ones are factual and which ones are not.

A challenge without Paula or Robin. But I know of only a couple that will be on it.
