The Challenge/Real World/Road Rules: Where Are They Now

[QUOTE=molds13;309407]Did anyone know that this was Alton's half brother?

I don't think it was mentioned on the show though, so now I don't remember why I knew this. Or maybe it was mentioned? Either way, that's absolutely terrible what happened. Reading those articles gave me the chills.

How weird, literally yesterday I was looking up the guy's Wikipedia page to find out whether they had final executed him yet. It was mentioned quite a few times on the show, I think filming started not longer after he had been arrested and Alton had to sign something to say he would give evidence in court. The moment that really sticks out in my mind is Alton swearing on his brother's grave that he never had a threesome in Australia, which unfortunately he did. Edit: Also just remembered that on the team building workshop they did, Alton said that he felt guilty because he should have been on that bike ride but he felt ill so his brother went instead.

I still feel bad for the family that the brother got molested and ****. Nobody should have to go through that and the brother should've been supervised anyway. not that I am pointing fingers or anything either.

The brother was between 9-10 years old. I actually was following the case as well after it was mentioned on the show.

Not calling you out, but I just think that people should be vigilant and stories like that shouldn't end or be forgotten when someone is convicted or even executed.

Guess I was a little harsh though. Also I am not saying it was old news as in should be forgotten that would just be ridiculous but either way, my bad.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;309504]Guess I was a little harsh though. Also I am not saying it was old news as in should be forgotten that would just be ridiculous but either way, my bad.[/QUOTE] Oh I know. I just was spinning off the phrase to make the point that -well I don't know what point I'm trying to make is. We hear so much about CT's adult brother being killed but something like this doesn't seem to get the attention it should. The media even only focuses on the child killings where the victim is white and a relative is the likely suspect.

I guess because CT has been on the show for a while recently whereas Alton has been on the show since 2006 (2007) airing wise so nobody really knew about it or just didn't know how to ask him or follow pre-social media. But you're absolutely right. I still get chills from both of these incidents. It saddens me in general because that could've happened to my brother or sister or child what have you.

That's really terrible to hear about Alton's brother, that's a real tragedy right there. Speaking of CT, does anybody know exactly what happened to his brother? Not trying to be nosy, I'm just curious. If CT is keeping it personal that's completely fine with me, I'm just curious, that's all.

I don't remember them all so I'm not the best source. It was as best as I remember a fight with some guy over some incident that happened earlier that day where things went out of control.

Big Step for Bronne I guess [URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=14035"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/49504ff039eb9890c.png[/IMG][/URL]

I think he would do pretty well. Is it because of this fire extinguisher incident?

[QUOTE=TwoStrikes;310034] anyone know why Bronne hasn't been on a challenge? i think he would do pretty well. is it because of this fire extinguisher incident?[/QUOTE] I heard somewhere he has a real job now. With Student City, actually.

[QUOTE=arilicious;310035]I heard somewhere he has a real job now. With Student City, actually.[/QUOTE] That's true now. I think he wanted to be on them after his season but they didn't ask him (I say that based on some tweets he sent out in the past).

[QUOTE=TwoStrikes;310034]Anyone know why Bronne hasn't been on a challenge? I think he would do pretty well.

[QUOTE=arilicious;310035]I heard somewhere he has a real job now. With Student City, actually.[/QUOTE] What a coincidence.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;310078]What a coincidence.[/QUOTE] LOL. I think they book a lot of MTV RW people for summer events and it more evolved out of that. I think Mike Ross did one for like 2 weeks with them, and Dustin & Heather too but I am not sure if it was as long as Mike's.

What happened to Beth Anthony from Real World: Los Angeles. She was one of my all time favorites!

[QUOTE=CrazyRealityGuy;310543]What happened to Beth Anthony from Real World: Los Angeles. She was one of my all time favorites![/QUOTE] She is married, with kids, and, if I recall correctly, living in Southern California.

[QUOTE=V1man;310553]She is married, with kids, and, if I recall correctly, living in Southern California.[/QUOTE] Always can count on you V. We all know Beth was the break out star of that season... How is she doing?

[QUOTE=CrazyRealityGuy;310577]Always can count on you V. We all know Beth was the break out star of that season... How is she doing?[/QUOTE] Season 2 was a good cast. Beth just had connections in LA. Trivia, she was Axel Rose's Personal Assistant at "Guns and Roses" when she was cast for RW. She is doing great, two happy, healthy kids, great husband. She has a semi-scripted pilot that has attracted attention in NY and LA. Hoping for a mid-year replacement pickup. Definitely not pitched to the MTV market demographic.

Donell is friends with Julie from Bad Girls Club Mexico , Weird lol [url=http://twitter.com/#!/JulieOfcharsky/media/slideshow?url=http%3A%2F%2Finstagr.am%2Fp%2FNiNgdDn-zC%2F]Twitter[/url]

Dave Giuntoli's show [I]Grimm[/I] was picked up for a 2nd season. It starts on Monday, although I think it will also be shown on Fridays. NBC has been doing a good job of promoting it during the Olympics and they have even been nice enough to post all of season 1 on their website so any new viewers they pick up can get caught up. I definitely recommend it for any of y'all that have room in your viewing schedules. It took a few episodes to hit its stride, but it really is a fun show especially if you decide beforehand NOT to nitpick about police procedure and just enjoy it for what it is.

You mean, the guy with whom Abram started to fight with on his Road Rules season ? I think that's the only time that they cast a fat guy on RW or Road Rules (yes, i know there was Eric B but he was on Fresh Meat).

It's just not as cool anymore but we'll see. I can see it lasting if OUAT gets the can.
