But like...Why would anyone want to see Landon back?...he was boring back then and he'd be boring now... Sure he was a good competitor...but that's about it.

Honestly the only old-schoolers I really want to return is Abram(Which is happening at the moment) Darrell and Ruthie. I wouldn't mind Coral either. Beth and Mark(Only if Backpack isn't there) aswell. I'd be okay with Brad too despite there being no point for him.

 

Landon was hot af, if he don't look washed up I wouldn't mind seeing him back. And lmao @ that vid posted, I would've been the only one cheering in the audience.

Half the people on this show are boring now so...

But despite me liking him I don't think Landon should return only because He won his last season and It's best to go out with a win IMO. Plus I think he's done all he's can for this franchise.

Right? We aren't about to get a Key West team; so they either going to pull some real strings to get him on, or they just eliminate him from the cast. Preferbly the latter.

They wpuld do a real world miami to make sure he has a hibryd team for seasons hahaha

How would that work though? Unless they do a new RW season of Miami(Which I would love).

Because he is a beast, plain and simple. Overall a good guy that people rooted for. He was actually asked to be on exes 2 and bloodlines. He devlined both, as far I know he is done for good.

why you gotta do me like that? lol

Who would have been his partner on Exes 2? Damn, I would love to see him back but he did go out on top winning 3/4 challenges so good for him.

No idea lol but he got an availability call that he declined. A lot of people got calls for exes 2 , a lot of those people declined.

Really? Didn't know that. 

But I don't get it though...They want Landon but not bother with Darrell? He's just as much of a beast as Landon.

Lots of options for him...not sure if any would do it but lots of options.  And, yeah, he won 3 of 4 but his best challenge was the only time he didn't win

Most people checked out long ago b/c if the older crowd not being on.Hollywood was getting 2 million+ viewers, how many did AYTO 2 & 3 get again?The ratings will be trash regardless so they can cut this whole demographic/theme bullshit they use to justify their lazy, piss-poor casting & ideas. 

The reasons why ppl are not watching doesnt have to do with old schoolers at all. MTV ratings as a whole have gone down even shows that have actors way more popular than most of the old school combine (example Victoria Justice show). Ratings still would be as low with old schoolers.

that's why I said ratings will be trash regardless so at this point, what do they have to lose? Themes don't work anymore, nobody cares about AYTO people on this show & if they advertise it right (which they won't do sadly), older fans would be brought back slowly but surely. I already know they're high on various drugs so all of this is pretty much a moot point either way...I just know the newer RWers better be getting their time on Challenge 29 (Sydney - Vegas 3 excluding the ones who show up over and over again).  

Truth. That's all I really want at this point.

Younger viewers are probably going to contact more with Landon than Darrell.  Ideally the both would come back but...

Key West team with Zach, Bananas, Janelle and Svetlana would be awesome! Zach and Janelle can be eliminated along the way and Bananas and Svet can kill it in the finale!

Themes don't seem to be working but I think they are slightly helping the ratings still. Just not as much as it use to when they started doing Rivals and Exes. 

Cutthroat II could be cool but with the right ******* cast and a new format. Like they have to have some old, middle, and new. 

Redemption isn't even a theme. You can throw in a cast of people who never won and call it redemption.If it isn't Exes 3 (which I think it might be so they can save the 30th season for something special, even though they didn't do that with seasons 20/25) I think it's either a new individual format/Duel 3 or some other theme that can bring back older vets.

Wait what do you mean lol season 20 & 25 was Cutthroat and Free Agents, those were great and special themes.

RW south Florida or even just south Florida. If they called the team that it would work. 

If these two ended up on a season together, they'd deliver such unexpected slayage that I don't think I'd be able to even partially absorb the slayage.

I was at work and we was discussing the challenge, a lot of people didnt even know it still came on.  I told them the date and time and everybody came to work and said the same thing "I dont know any of these people, where is Darrell, Beth etc... A lot of them were fans of the challenges but said they couldnt get into it because they didnt know anybody but Bananas and Annesa.  Even of twitter I see people say the same thing.

Bloodlines is comical, its like a awful parody compared of what the challenges use to be. Just look at the old school females vs what we have today. Terrible.

If I have to put up with Madison and Brian on a future Challenge............

Hahhaha I can't with you. Your opinions and reasonings are so hypocritical that they are comical

I only want a few old school people, like coral, beth, mark is ok, Brad (old brad), Kenny/Evan (Never will happen), Susie (Never happen-she was like a female wes to an extent), I hope if they do a seasons that they do a road rules team. I would be ok with just 4 of them. If they did I seasons I also see them doing an All-Star type of team so they can get Wes & Bananas on. (Maybe they could get Danny & Melinda for wes, but I don't see them getting lacey, rachel, or jo for a girl)

This.

You don't care about old schoolers except you listed about 8-10ish of them that you would like to see again lol

Ruthie is literally the same person she was 15 years ago. It be awesome to see her come back.

 

If they promoted the show correctly bringing back old schoolers would be huge for the show and ratings. Ratings have dropped over the years meaning the majority of the fans who used to watch the show don't anymore. They're older and have moved on/don't care about the new cast and the drama. If people who watched the show years ago saw that old schoolers/their favorites/people they know were going to be on a new season they would probably tune in. The only problem is these people most likely do not watch MTV anymore so the promotion would have to go a lot farther than it does now. Plus, a lot of regulars would still be cast so casual fans would still watch. Also, they would learn/meet the old schoolers as if they were knew, and learn to like/hate them.

I think Old Schoolers will come in the nesr future just not all on one season, I see CT, Darrell, Beth idk I just feel like they'll come around soon.

you do realize fresh meat is basically fans vs favorites. Most of the fresh meat people applied for rw and were fans of the show. 

Not really. Not everyone who's applied for the show a actual fan of it. You should see what the casting calls are like.
