No need to read past the first one to understand your opinions will mean nothing to me.
[quote=tjhallow;54920]I don't know where to put this but I'm looking at the cast bio's on MTV, a lot of their information is wrong. The first couple names down the list where it says past challenges, it doesn't even list all of the challenges they have been on. WTF? I have only looked at Adams, Brad, & CT's but its all wrong.
Adam it says Adam was only in the Battle of the Sexes 2 & Gauntlet 3. Adam was also in the Gauntlet 2. If Adam was only in two challenges, that would have made him a rookie instead of a vet on G3.
It has all of Brad's challenges except for the Inferno 2 & Gauntlet 2.
On CT's they forgot to Duel.
Whoever writes these needs to check for information before putting it online for the public. I haven't checked the rest nor do I have time, just thought I would point that out.[/quote]
Yeah, I just read the bios and was going to post about it (but of course found your post!). I was like, "Who writes these things?" I wonder where the interns get their information from about who has done what challenges, since they forget particular ones.
Gauntlet 2 seemed to be the one they had a good about of trouble with. They forgot Ruthie and Anessa did that one as well.
Adam is listed as having been on the rookie team and winning Gauntlet 3.
Eric was forgotten as a participant in The Duel.
They claim Katie won in her "first" challenge entry, which they list as The Inferno. Well, of course she won that one, but The Gauntlet was her first challenge.
Rachel's bio also seems to imply that she was more emotionally attached to Jenn than Veronica (Veronica in the past, of course).
Inaccurate and incomplete information aside, there were a lot interesting tidbits in the bios - more like updates. Some things I didn't know about, or at least didn't remember, concerning what some of the cast have been doing more recently. Landon finally completed his college degree (he was a seventh year senior during RW Philly). I'd read he was done, but read some conflicting info in an article, so it is good to have more conformation that he is done. I'm happy for him. I'm also very happy for Brad, getting a master's and taking the LSAT in hopes to go to law school. Jenn's on a professional dance team, Katie's finishing up film school, Robin's working in real estate, etc. It's very nice to hear about the cast members - the vets in particular - having other things going on in their lives and growing and such. Don't get me wrong, I love them doing challenges (I prefer to see them over the new crowd), but it's cool to see them pursuing other avenues as well.

You all finally got my attention and I've now read these bios. All I can say is that some of the updates regarding cast members are pure fiction. I'll talk to some of them and see what they have to say about their bios.

I just glanced also, and it's almost bizarre. Did the interns actually speak to the cast, or did they just sort of speculate based on myspace pages or something?
Case in point: Brad's myspace says he is planning on taking the LSAT, but the masters thing in his bio strikes me as somewhat odd. It usually takes a couple of years or at least one year to get a masters, and IIRC, this time last year he was running an insurance business, not going to school.
Hmm.
I thought about the masters thing as well concerning Brad, because he'd done G3 not too far back, and he would need at least a year to complete a masters if he was in an accelerated program. Perhaps he is still in graduate school right now. Checking the bio again, it says he is "finishing up a masters degree." If the bios were made to reflect what the cast was doing now, as opposed to what they were doing at the start of this challenge filming, then he could still be finishing up a semester, maybe.
Wasn't he just working for an insurance company instead of owning one? He could have been taking some graduate classes during that time as well.
Well, regardless of the timeline or the writers of the bios getting a lot of info wrong, it does seem like Brad is pursuing higher up education and is trying to further himself for him, Tori, and their future family. Kudos to him and I wish him and Tori the best.

Wow, they sure don't have a good rep for taking care of their hosts (The Island). That's too bad.
