Rumors abound that the next Real World/Road Rules Challenge will in fact be the sequel to Fresh Meat. I'm told production has been making calls to rejected Real World applicants, inquiring about their availability in early September. Although "Fresh Meat 2" has not been specifically brought up, it is quite logical that if they are seeking out cast members for a Challenge that have not previous been on the franchise Real World (or Road Rules) series, it is indeed going to be a continuation of the much talked about and somewhat controversial Fresh Meat.
While I personally have mixed feelings about bringing aboard more cast members who will be taking up precious screen time without a well defined back-story, at least there is an opportunity for the current juggernaut of cast regulars to be broken up and possibly dethroned.
Ok, I know...wishful thinking.
On another note, if they are going to bring in Fresh Meat and conceivably pair them up with generation one Fresh Meat, shouldn't they finally change the name of the show to something more fitting such as, "[B]The Real World and a bunch of people you have never heard of Challenge Series?[/B]"
I could see a challenge or two from now where the majority of cast members were never actually on The Real World or Road Rules...
[B]Edit:[/B] I was not doing the math. This will be a challenge that has more randoms than actual Real World/Road Rules cast members. The Challenge series is officially an MTV side show and no longer has any connection to the franchise that brought it to bear.
