You don't know if Will or Greg for sure wouldnt work out though. And so what if Dave quit? Look at the season he was on I'd quit too if I were him.

Unless you're Coral, if you quit you're probably not coming back.  Even Coral hasn't been back though I'm sure they'd take her.  People just want every black male to be on the show.  Greg couldn't follow the rules on his show.  He wasn't going to be on The Challenge.  Will's best known for dating Janelle.  Enough said.  Dave was the only guy on that cast that had potential to be on The Challenge more than once or twice.  Now, I'd teak Will or Greg over Nick Brown but I highly doubt Will was interested and Greg probably wasn't considered.  

Did you even watch Hollywood? Both Greg and Will were great characters and brought alot to the show. Yes Greg quit but so what? Shavoun did too and she got on the challenge so I'm not trying to hear that "Follow the rules" Bullshit. 

And don't give me this "People want every black male to be on the show" BS. If that was the case why aren't people clamroing for Swift or Preston then? Not to mention people DON'T want Leroy anywhere near the show so what are you talking about? People want Greg and Will because they could be good competitors and good drama. That's what this show needs.

And you're right in that Will and Greg weren;t interested then but they're interested now so BMP needs to get them IMO. I don't care how long it's been since their season they need to be calling past RW'ers from all periods of the show. Not just the new genearation and the old-schoolers because there were alot of people during that time that would've been good for the show. Now Alot of them probably have moved on at this point but I'm sure there's some willing to get on.

Personalities matter far more on team challenges like Cutthroat, The Gauntlet and The Inferno.  But with the Duel and even The Ruins (because of Champs vs. Challengers) competition mattered greatly.  This is why I miss big team challenges because weak competitors (see Katie) could still be relevant.  And they could also surprise us.  With pairs & individual formats they're simply wasting a space.You put Will or Greg on a season like Cutthroat then I'm sold.  On The Ruins or a Duel...no.

Personalities matter on EVERY Season. Not just some.  

People claim they want Swift--which is pathetic. People only don't want Leroy because of Bananas desptie their claims.

I'm fine with anyone being on the show...including Will & Greg...but let's stop pretending  they were the solution to The Ruins

Personalites matter far less on some seasons...that's not debatable.

Yes it is. You fail to realize once again this is a reality show first. Competition second. You need interesting personalities to make the show watchable, That has always been the case in every format ever in this history of this show and in Reality TV in general.

So then who or what would've been the solution to that shit show? 

And last I checked only I and someone else wanted Swift back on the show. Most people on here are against him being cast so...

Actually when you think about it I don't think anyone could've saved that crap show. The Ruins should've never happend honestly. 

I wish BMP took a page from Survivor's book. Survivor casting is typically on point.

Except for having Sarah on this season of Survivor.

Survivor does a great job casting when it comes to non returnee seasons. Returnee seasons, they only got it right once with HvV. (talking about either full returnee seasons or FvF)

I swear when I read that I had to think about who that was. 

But honesly Survivor always has some WTF casting choices when it comes to returnees seasons. I mean look at Amber(Austrailian Outback). But overall it does cast their retunee seasons well.

They did good with Second Chances IMO.

Well I am. I liked Swift on Free Agents and wouldn't mind him returning.

The WTF casting decisions on Survivor generally pay off though.

Horrible winner who shouldn't have even been on the ballot to return.

I thought the winner was great honestly...Or at least better than the two that he was sitting next to.

Yeah. Not to mention they didn't seem all that good as players either. Like I have no desire to see those 2 ever again.

HA. 

The real issue is casting for The Real World

The problem with BMP's casting process is that they just cast instagram models and people who look good.  They pay NO attention to personality.  Some of the cast even admit they got randomly approached to be apart of the show without going through a real casting process.  

Honestly I don't think we'll get amazing personalities like Katie Doyal, Coral, Old School Aneena, Veronica, and Julie Stoffer ever again.

We Won't.
