Whhattt, Marie was awesome on BOTS IMO. Loveeedd herr. 

Why would you want Alton on there, he's a quitter., Alton and Trishelle were unbearable. If anything it should've been Dustin/Leroy/Nany/Heather.

Marie added nothing to Seasons--she has potential but she didn't really do anything

Alton & Trishelle are now quitters but they weren't at the time...there should have been two Vegas team...that should have been the second team (though it was Cooke not Heather if I recall correctly)

I have Excellent news! Smile Nick Brown and Tyrie want to do another challenge~

whee'd you hear that twitter? for one of them sees it being insane.

Seasons 2 had bad ratings moreso because the new people they chose were terrible, not because they were new..

. It was just written off from jump. No Bananas, CT, Paula, Kenny, Evan, etc. and just a whole bunch of rookies despite who they were was the issue to most viewers. Most people were'nt familiar with the new people to hate on them other than the fact that they're new. 

New people are needed and one of the biggest mistakes was how they ignored NOLA2 IMO but you need a balance.  The new people on Seasons were annoying as **** Frank & Zach were unbearable especially with how they treated Sam.  St Thomas was useless (Marie was very disappointing to me), NOLA was pathetic. etc.

They should have inlcuded SD (Randy, Brad, Cameran & Robin) and Las Vegas (Alton, Frank, Arissa & Tris****e) as they originally planned which would have been far better along with a RR team.  You have that plus Austin along with Cancun, Vegas2, NOLA2 & Diego2 you have much better chance of getting solid ratings.  St Thomas should have been held off at that point because it was too many brand new seasons (3 of them essentially) to introduce.

I don't think anyone hates people because they're new--other than AYTO who proved everyone that hated them right

Mmmmmm because Frank, Steven, Arissa, Tris****e, Brad, Robin, Cameran, and Randy with a bunch of new schoolers would have helped ratings how? They are more unfamiliar than people from SD2, NOLA2, and Cancun at the time. They would have been old and out of place in the eyes of some viewers. Even with them ratings would have been the same. 

I think Seasons 2 had unlikable castmembers that was sadly the strongest people there. I don't think it was time for a BOTS. They should've waited IMO. IMO they should've replaced San Diego (boring demales and unlikable guys) and cast like a Champion team.

Why wouldn't Alton quit had he been cast with Frank/Arissa?

Do we really need to compare their ages to the "new" schoolers again?  For example, Cameran is 2 years older than Leroy--TWO.  Rachel is all of 4

Brad, Robin, Alton (not Steven), Trishelle, Derrick, Rachel, Darrell & Katie would have definitely helped ratings.  There's no quesiton that ratings would have been better and that's why Johnny and CT will now always be on.  Wes left early and they were stuck without people from the past and they have accepted that doesn't work.

Devyn's wig funeral scene is probably my favorite (non challenge related) in recent memory.

the only funny thing about that was BackPack in his Bananas suit.

Watching RW: Brooklyn for the first time yesterday... I really wanna see Scott and Ryan on here.. Baya is shorter than Devyn... Which isn't bad but.. The girl just doesn't look athlethic. But you never know...

I didn't say he wouldn't have--they just had no way of knowing at the time.  Put guys like Darrell, Brad & Derrick in the house with him he may not have wanted out so badly

But they are VERY different people. And Cameron is no Leroy. Leroy has a huge fan base and targets a huge audience. Brad, Robin.

I think Baya is superfit now.

A quitter is a quitter. He was probably the bigget dissapointment on BOTS. They should've casted Leroy instead. 

Oh god. The thuoght of seeing Baya on my television again... #snoozefest

A quitter is a quitter. He was probably the bigget dissapointment on BOTS. They should've casted Leroy instead. 

I don't disagree that a quitter is a quitter and that he was a huge disappointment but you have to consider everything

It's not even worth having the conversation with you kvm because I have to remember that nothing will satisify you with casting unless a bunch of old schoolers are cast because that is all you know and enjoy from the show. Which is fine. So you'll think that Christena, Cameran, fat ass Randy, Melinda, and sorry Danny being on The Challenge will help ratings. I think otherwise but we'll just agree to disagree.

Baya would definitely give these girls a run for their money. She's athletic as **** and in fantastic shape now.

I bet Devyn could convince her to say yes since they are really close.

People were talking about Nany/Jordan/Devyn/ During Free Agents. Those 3 made waves that season.

And Marie Brought something to Seasons. She was **** entertaining and that actually matters since this is Reality TV show and Drama and conflict are the main draw.

And I do think Another Seasons can work. It wouldn't be with all first timers and many of the people that were on the first one are now well known to the audience now. They're in a better position to do it now honestly.

I think Nany/Jordan/Cara Maria/Laurel were the stars of the season. I also think LaToya was pretty relevant for the spiodes she was on. Nia was very low key that season.

Oh yeah. I agree I was responding to another post saying that none of the newer challengers were talked about that season when that was far from the truth.

I didn't say any of those people alone would.  Although MTV/BMP believes Danny/Melinda make a difference.  Randy & Cameran add Brad & Robin which would help.  Darrell, Rachel, Derrick & Katie absolutely would help.  There doens't need to be a bunch of veterans.  It is about balance.

For example, if the next cast has 32 people (just using the number of people on Seasons) I would want/expect to see 6-8 people from ExPlosion/Skeletons that haven't done a season already...after that you're going to have 12-16 regulars/core people (for example-Bananas, CT, Wes, Jordan, Zach, Leroy, Reilly, Dustin, Cara Maria, Camila, Emily, Nany, Jonna, Theresa & Jemmye--clearly some state they're done but just using names)...that's 24 people which leaves 8-10 spots for a mix of people...that's where you add people from other seasons to fill the roster including new & old...like Mark, Darrell, Danny, Marlon, Robb, Trey, Scott, Ryan C, Rachel, Melinda, Mallory, Sahar, Cooke, McKenzie, Ashlee, Marie, etc.

If you don't think a cast of something like

Men:  Mark, Darrell, Bananas, CT, Wes, Danny, Zach, Jordan, Reilly, Leroy, Dustin, Reilly, Trey,  ExPlosion, Skeleton & Skeleton

Women:  Rachel, Melinda, Aneesa, Camila, Cara Maria, Emily, Nany, Theresa, Jonna, Cooke, Marie, Sahar, ExPlosion, ExPlosion, Skeleton, Skeleton

would help ratings then you're only looking at what you want.  I'd be thrilled with an all Old School cast but what is needed is balance...and a lot of newbies need to be introduced.  This is a simple concept that BMP understood until about the time of FM2

I have no idea what you think any of those three did on Free Agents.  Cara & Laurel got far more air time than Nany/Devyn.  Jordan only got talked about because he foolishly flipped over all the cards like a ******* tool.  Without Bananas Jordan becomes irrelevant on FAs

Name something Marie did on Seasons--maybe I just don't recall because I've only watched that Season once

You and others would enjoy another Seasons but it won't work in terms of ratings

Honestly, I don't. And its hard to make random cast like that because it all depends on the theme. That could work on maybe an individual challenge but you have to look at the theme and cast the best people possible and I think that can be without some of those people you named.

THis is the mistake--you create a cast then work on theme not the other way around.  I'd be thrilled not to see Bananas or CT but I'm not going to act as though that's going to happen.  If they want to come back they'll be back...reality.  We have to now, unfortunately, build a cast around them

Marie actually was interesting on seasons... Well at least when she got crazy that one time and pushed Derek AND Sam into that plant... That shit was funny. LOL

But that is not realistic. With that cast you just posted, what theme could you use with those people granted they said yes and wanted to do a challenge? What theme could you do that is marketable and promotable and will attract viewers and make people want to tune in? 

Can we stop this seasons **** please it's not happening and plus the way they set it up the challenges where stupid 

Plus bananas is the only one from his season still doing this and there not doing another challenge without him

Pretty much anything--what can't you create?  You can also sub out a few for someone else.  It isn't definite.  Reality shows typically determine a core cast then get a theme that fits.

Marie actually was interesting on seasons... Well at least when she got crazy that one time and pushed Derek AND Sam into that plant... That shit was funny. LOL

So, the best thing Marie did was fight with Derek & Sam...like I said, she didn't add anything.  She still should come back because she has potential but she didn't shine on Seasons at all.
