Have they really run out of cities already? RW: Philadelphia isn't exactly "sexy". Have they had one in Texas yet? Much more comedy potential there I'd imagine.

I definitely over that selection as well. I can't believe that they haven't done one in DC yet (Georgetown). I'd like to see them do one abroad again - maybe a place like Rio, Tokyo or Sydney.

They could do one in Dallas. Look at how long it took them to get around to filming one in the Windy City.

Red Dog - DC and Sydney would be great ideas. you would think that they would have gone to Sydney by now.

They will probably head back down south soon. Atlanta - probably in the next couple of years. maybe Orlando. They could also go west and film one in Phoenix. But they should go overseas and film one in Dublin or Munich during the fall.

Wow, I didn't think this was actually going to happen. There was a dispute between Philly and MTV's union workers, and the workers just up and left after the argument.

I think my illustrious Gov. Rendell and Mayor Street had to do some horse trading with MTV to get it greenlit again. I hope they don't destroy the town like they usually do .

Wow a new one already. All of the people are starting to blend together in my mind. I kind of wish they would do back-to-back seasons. Let me miss it for awhile.

Apparently it is, one of my black friends ( I dislike the use of the term african american), has told me that all names such as that are the equivalent of white trash.

They just get 2 or 3 names and add them together to make one.

Like crossing the english channel a one way swim, or like Ian Thorpe a 400M butterfly with 8 lengths of the pool.

Melanie isn't the hottest RW chick, but she definitely gets the "RW Philly chick I most wanna do" award.

Sarah isn't that pretty. Bought boobs don't equal hotness.

Karamo is a tired, played out stereotype (angry black man)

MJ ... whatever

Melanie is a drama queen that no one likes.

Shavonda, probably more white than she knows.

Landon is either Dumb or Dumber, time will reveal which.

Willie should never be a gay guy's name.

The casting special looked pretty interesting. Karamo reminds me of Keefla (RR - Australia) and is very handsome.

Shavonda seems to be interesting, black woman attracted to white men, very sassy.

The special actually made me want to check out this season.
