[QUOTE=Challenge 17;436644]You do realize they don't have the huge amount of support like survivor or big brother does to be able to give people a million dollars. They'd have to cut many things to make the money 500,000 and life in the house would be MUCH worse.[/QUOTE] Well then they should scale down these challenges then. These challenges are way too extreme for the amount of money their playing for.
[QUOTE=PinkRose;436703]Devyn made a comment when the first Season of Real World New york had the marathon before Portland that I though it was kind of accurate: [ATTACH]6038[/ATTACH] Whenever they have a back to back season they cast some similar personalities as the first season in some cases like for example Vegas: Trishelle/Nany- The hot girl, that had slutly tendencies. Steven/Dustin- He work at a gay bar, while Dustin did gay ****. Both are straight. Frank/Mike- The nerdy guys ARissa/Naomi- Strong personalities, that don't mind talking their minds Bryn/Heather- I always though they look alike lol[/QUOTE] LOL! The Broke down version of Season 1. That's funny as hell. Devyn is awesome.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;436704]Well then they should scale down these challenges then. These challenges are way too extreme for the amount of money their playing for.[/QUOTE] It doesn't bring enough ratings to increase it, plus they do get pay for just appering on the show.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;436704]Well then they should scale down these challenges then. These challenges are way too extreme for the amount of money their playing for.[/QUOTE] What would that accomplishment? It would just make the show lamer...... besides people literally get paid for showing up on the challenge so its not like they are getting nothing, 125 grand may not seem like a lot but it is for six weeks of work. Look at free agents, the house was great they got a free trip to south America and they got 5 free Jerseys each so IMO that's not so bad. If conditions stay as nice as they did in free agents then I don't see a problem
The Challenge needs to bring back prizes for the winning team or MVP of that days mission.
[QUOTE=PinkRose;436708]It doesn't bring enough ratings to increase it, plus they do get pay for just appering on the show.[/QUOTE] Maybe they should try doing the pay scale similar to Survivor's (not as much money, but a similar format). You get paid depending where you place. Winner gets the most, first person out the least. Shelling out ridiculous appearance fees on top of what they win is ******* away money.

Without them I cant see some; older vets coming back

A lot of people do this shows knowing that they are NOT going to win, but the appearance check is what motivated them to come back.
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;436649]Laurel Stucky @laurelstucky · 35m Jordan and I are officially over. Laurel Stucky @laurelstucky · 33m I am fine, thank you, but there is no need to explain. Some things don't work out - and this was one of them. I learned a ton. Laurel Stucky @laurelstucky · 23m Moving on... I knew they wouldn't last.[/QUOTE] Yo just 3 days ago they were saying i love you on twitter.. I know a lot can happen in 3 days. But this sounds sketchy
[QUOTE=boncat23;436724]Yo just 3 days ago they were saying i love you on twitter.. I know a lot can happen in 3 days.

That means a lot to me despite xyz. tweeted by laurel 3 days ago also if you break up w someone, (maybe its just me) but I wouldn't post it over social media.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;436720]No they shouldn't, putting a big enough appearance fee is what convinced people like CT and Averey to accept the second call.

A lot of people do this shows knowing that they are NOT going to win, but the appearance check is what motivated them to come back.[/QUOTE] I completely understand why they do it, and I'm grateful that they do it because it gets people like Averey to say yes. I just think a lot of the budget could be better spent.

Sounds like a ploy to be cast as an Exes 2 pair.

The only thing getting rid of then would do is get rid of even more people

It could be better spent, but without a good appearance check less people would do this shows. They will lose more people. [QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;436727]Bingo. Sounds like a ploy to be cast as an Exes 2 pair.[/QUOTE] I don't think is a ploy, what would she need to make one? The thing is that Laurel declined after the first availability call and kept declining after they kept calling for it even offering more money. She even tweet it that she is doing an appearance on August 23 in Arizona yesterday, the cast leave on the week of August 5th. I was thinking the same with Jamie/Thomas, but they actually really broke up lol [ATTACH]6039[/ATTACH]

[QUOTE=JamieFire;436732]Wish she would have been on another! Haha for some people its like "okay I won, Im done."[/QUOTE] I think she wanted to do one, they just never call her after Fresh Meat lol

Laurel said that she's pretty sure she's hanging up her hat with the challenges, so I don't know why she would need to devise some scheme to get on the next one. As far as her putting it on social media, I see people tweet at her about Jordan sometimes, so maybe she just wanted to make it clear that they're no longer involved.
[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;436727]Bingo. Sounds like a ploy to be cast as an Exes 2 pair.[/QUOTE] I don't think Laurel is that desperate
[QUOTE=PinkRose;436701]Averey looks more like Lori, she doesn't look like Kellyanne at all.[/QUOTE] Thank you!!! I always thought Averey looked like someone but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Sorry, it's not Kellyanne, it's definitely Lori. I stand by my other comparisons though! Anyone have anymore?
[QUOTE=JayTee;436712]Just because you're too weak to handle being on a Challenge doesn't mean these ppl are.[/QUOTE] There you go attacking me again.

If conditions stay as nice as they did in free agents then I don't see a problem[/QUOTE] The accomplishment would be a better show all around. More people would have a chance to win and it wouldn't be so damn predicable. And so what if they got to live in a big house and got some jeresys? doesn't mean much if the experience is miserable and the living conditions are bad(that is if they were, It didn't seem like it on Free Agents) 125,000 is NOT that much money doesn't matter for how long. You realize taxes are taken out of that right? How much are they really getting? But regarding missions...If they're not going to scale them down at least make them unique, Diverse and fun. Free Agents had a good mix of missions, Some were fun, some were unique and some were diverse. If they keep going that route then I'd be a happy camper.

[B]A lot of people do this shows knowing that they are NOT going to win, but the appearance check is what motivated them to come back.[/B][/QUOTE] Yeah. They should keep the appearance fee. If they don't win at least they get SOME amount of money out of it.
[QUOTE=peachytay;436731]just finished watching Fresh Meat for the first time and can i say WOW Aviv is cute as hell and severely underrated![/QUOTE] Those eyes!
You know people have said that Wes looks like Abram but I never saw it.They both look VERY different to me.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;436740]You know people have said that Wes looks like Abram but I never saw it.They both look VERY different to me.[/QUOTE] Mmm I guess they are both pale white men and sort of resemble each other when Abram had shorter hair.
