I've always wanted this show to be an hour long, it always seemed short at 30 minutes. Good to have TJ Lavin back and some of the returning veterans and rookies. Should be fun to watch again!

im actually pretty stoked about this. i hate that reality tv. but this looks drama filled. it's members of the real world from when we was younger

cdollaz

You hate reality TV but you want to watch this? This is the armpit of reality TV.

I see that Coral still hasn't found anything better to do with her life.

raven56706

cool.... i am there...

but i miss veronica.... she's so hot

Giantrobo

I'll watch.

boogieman03

Totall agree...but I still love these.

asianxcore

Agreed

I can't wait for this show to start. I'm kind of disappointed by so many cast members from "Fresh Meat" and "RR: Viewers Revenge". Then again I'm guessing a lot of the older vets don't want to do the show or have "retired".

terrycloth

i am also another one who hates reality tv shows but for some reason i love these and i hate the stand alone real world and road rules shows

Rob V

Too bad they couldn't squeeze in that loose canon from RW: Sidney -- Dunbar. He's thisclose to popping somebody or slappin a ho and going to jail.

mh4268

Me too...

Bluelitespecial

I am shocked to see thats almost the whole cast of RW Austin minus two people are back.

VHS?

What a resume these guys have.....A couple of seasons for these shows was fine but to make a career out them is just ridiculous.Is that one chunky blond chick still doing it? Beth?

Puck was the best thing to come out of all these shows

Giantrobo

But see, I think you miss the fact that the ones who keep coming back often bring a lot to the show. Beth's constant drama, Coral's big tits and drama, CT's violent "I might kill you" temper, Tanya's drunken slutty behavior, and etc all add to the show. Slowly sprinkling in RW/RR n00bs so they can get shit on and sent home early by the Old Guard adds even more good times.

Wait...don't tell me you actually watch the Challenges for their Sports Value.

j/k

raven56706

wow Coral really cant find anything to do

SPiRAL

It's about damn time. They usually took a month or two, off between seasons.

SPiRAL

Same here.

Double_Oh_7

I would pay money to see Robin's cans.

mwbmis

No need to pay.

NSFW (Robin, Katie, and Jenna Lewis from Survivor in outtakes from Beth's reality calendar shoot)

Giantrobo

That was actually a pretty decent ep.

CT is a douche....but ya'll knew that.

mwbmis

At least he made it through an episode w/o punching someone out and getting sent home. It's weird having a challenge show without Derek.

sergtv

Alex in the mud with the ball looking cluesless was just to funny.. i can't stand ct either.

mrpayroll

God Bless having CT there. I give him 2 or 3 more episodes before he pulls off a repeat of last year.

And Diem is deluding herself if she thinks that he is any different at home with her, compared to being on the show. There is no way a person with that much anger can hide it at home. If she had kept arguing with him he would have started cussing her out and probably would have smacked her around a bit.

She really needs to break it off with him. He's ugly looking and has a terrible personality and disposition. She can do much better.

Chris

asianxcore

Not a bad episode.

It's weird seeing so many cast members from Viewers Revenge and Fresh Meat. Mostly because I barely watched any of those shows.

Giantrobo

So does the Big Hillbilly Dude die or something? The promos show him gasping for air with a blank look on his face and people yelling for medics.

Also, Coral once again proves how badass she is getting up in CT's grill even with him being' drunk and probably slightly dangerous.

mwbmis

I'm sure we would have heard about it if he actually died.

Both Coral and CT are veterans and know how to play to the cameras in order to get time on the televised show.
