[QUOTE=Superboy;277377]Veronica always looked like she was more fit for Real World than Road Rules. The same with Jisela, Abe(RR7), Noah(RR5), Sarah(RR7), Erika, Anne, Angela, and Vince to me.[/QUOTE]
Veronica is more of a Road Ruler in my eyes. She was confident with who she was and didn't really seem she needed a house with a bunch of people to "find herself". From Road Rules, the only cast members I thought fit more for RW were Christina (Down Under), Jisela, Mary Beth, Chris (South Pacific), & Angela. Whereas I thought people like Sean (Boston), Nathan (Seattle), Nicole (B2NY), Brynn, Landon, Wes, Rachel (Austin), Tyler, pretty much all of the Sydney cast except for Parisa & Shauvon, Sarah (Brooklyn), Ryan (Brooklyn), Jonna, Callie, Emily (DC), Eric (B2NO), Ashlee, McKenzie, Cooke, and Nany would have been better for Road Rules.

Johnny Bananas interview with Bill Simmons and Dave Jacoby. I honestly thought that the whole law suit thing was a bunch of ****, but he brings up a very valid point about the Mark Walhberg thing.
[QUOTE=lulax3;277406]I think The battle is going to be similar to road rules[/QUOTE]
I hope it's not similar at all... in that case that they should just title it "Road Rules". Lol. In a perfect world, they would advertise this show as "The Battle" and just act as if it's a completely different show with similarities and then when it starts up, be like "Oh btw, this is just Road Rules, we're giving it another go." Ah. That would be great.

Those are your top 18 challengers.
She is such an attention *****, she is just writing that for attention lol. Hopefully they don't ask her to be on the next challenge, I hate that BMP keeps asking her, Mandi and Theresa over entertaining Real World girls (Trishelle, Brianna, Ashley (DC), Trisha, Cooke, even Ashlee and Jemmye from NOLA)
Camila's not my favorite by any means, and I only understand like half of what she days. But I could watch her push Luke over all day long. However, as we all know this post isn't remotely close to a sure thing. She could just be challenging herself to find the gym, you never know. Haha, this post leaves a lot open to interpretation.

I honestly wish there was a site where we could see who production asked/called for each challenge, because that would be really cool to see, how many old school people they have really been asking, so if anyone has that info, you should share.
In response to this tho, you can't hate on BMP for not asking those people you mentioned. I'm pretty sure Camila, Theresa, and Mandi are all in positions in their lives where they would go to every challenge because they have nothing going on. You don't know, BMP has probably asked Brianna to multiple challenges since the Ruins, I'm sure they've asked Trisha on a bunch, same with Ashley, there people just simply might not be interested or not in positions to go to 3 or 4 back to back challenges, like Mandi, Camila, and Theresa are probably gonna do here.
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;277815]I honestly wish there was a site where we could see who production asked/called for each challenge...[/QUOTE]
There is such a place. It's vevmo. Buried in several past threads are the names of many of those who were asked for their availability and who declined. Past cast members often feel comfortable sharing that they were called and either declined or were later not among the final cast selected. My perception is that since they didn't sign a contact, they don't feel the need to be silent about the invitation.
Personally, just as I think MTV could increase it's audience via a more positive and proactive relationship with websites following their shows, I believe they could also benefit from a more attractive PR position regarding show casting. I think it is at least worth an experiment by the network. They have recently taken a different position with regard to encouraging cast to use twitter in show promotion, and the result has been very positive.

I don't know about the others but I think Ashley was asked to do Cutthroat and Rivals but declined.

Oh yes he/she can and I can too. I mean what has those 3 ever done? What do they bring to the table on these challenges? NOTHING! all they do is just take up space. And honestly I don't care what their situations are there's no need for BMP to keep bringing them back. They're just Irrelevant filler and I don't think these shows need that(especially not now).

Who would be her rival?
[QUOTE=LaneV95;277849]Who would be her rival?[/QUOTE]
Erika. I think she's interested in doing a challenge but since Ashley declined, they had no one to pair her with.

Well Camila had that whole "You're going in every time because you're supposedly hooking up with the enemy thing" that made her look like the good guy, despite later on indicating that it's probably true.
[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;277917]Does anyone know who the biggest draws are for these Challenges? Like which competitors tend to bring in larger audiences?[/QUOTE]
Most likely CT and jke (sadly)

That whole thing made no sense to me. Camilla and John boinking couldn't affect The Red team in any way so why the **** were they so worried about it? It's not like John had any say about who goes in on The Red Team so it seemed dumb for them to just vote her in just for that. I don't really care for Camilla and I really don't want her on anymore challenges but honestly the way they treated her was just crappy(I'll say the same for Brandon too).

They seemed to be afraid that Camila would throw the final if Johnny was there and be "rewarded" off camera. Kind of farfetched, but it's Johnny we're talking about. I'm sure there's other things we didn't see, but I know that Sarah and possibly Abram didn't trust her either.
Brandon's a completely different argument. Outside of maybe the 2nd time he went in, I don't see any real reason to not send him in considering he couldn't swim and DQ'd twice.
[QUOTE=lulax3;277922]Most likely CT and jke (sadly)[/QUOTE]
That's what I suspected. CT is a tremendous competitor and a pretty exciting guy, so that make sense. Johnny, Evan, and Kenny don't bother me as much as they bother most other people. I don't care for Johnny, but I like Kenny and Evan. In fact, Evan's my favorite.
[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;277917]Does anyone know who the biggest draws are for these Challenges? Like which competitors tend to bring in larger audiences?[/QUOTE]
CT, Wes, Kenny and now the Vegas kids.
[QUOTE=LaneV95;277980]CT, Wes, Kenny and now the Vegas kids.[/QUOTE]
Kenny and Wes? Doubtful. Fresh Meat 2 was based around Kenny vs Wes and it got the worst ratings of any season (or at least since the show became popular).
[QUOTE=LaneV95;277980]CT, Wes, Kenny and now the [B]Vegas kids[/B].[/QUOTE]
I was thinking the same thing. My guess is that they will be on challenges for a long time. They really need to bring them in a lot in order to keep the numbers up.
[QUOTE=RMD1;277984]I was thinking the same thing. My guess is that they will be on challenges for a long time. They really need to bring them in a lot in order to keep the numbers up.[/QUOTE]
I think if Ryan and Preston or Abram and Adam L. were there instead, the challenge would've done just as well. The Vegas kids were barely shown, the entire show was based on CT and Wes.
But i don't know if there's any way to say who brings in a bigger crowd. I think the format helps the most. But i do think CT was a big draw to Rivals because that's who everyone was talking about when the trailer came out. Of course you have the same fans talking about how they wanna see their favorites but there is a reason this challenge did better than FM2, Ruins, Island, and D2. The format was fresh and there were some "fresh" players, (i.e Jasmine, Jonna, Cara Maria, Laurel etc...) who weren't just pushed into the background as usual. So with "fresh" players comes fresh drama, hook ups, and competition.

Couldn't have said it better myself, I think CT, fresh faces (Jasmine, Jonna, Leroy, Cara, Laurel) the concept of Rivals and the fresh dramas = ratings.
