'Road Rules': Viewer's Revenge

Scott Thu, Feb 1, 2007 at 10:52 PM EST

I think that the fan participation really ups the stakes in this incarnation of Road Rules and I am glad to see they have refreshed the series. Another positive thing about the format is the fact that it is almost in real time which means we can go to the myspace pages of the cast and truly interact. I did a few interviews with cast members through myspace and you can find them on my site if anyone is interested.

MTV Canada will be airing Road Rules, shortly.

You're missing my point, Mikey. I'm just saying that they gave us the option of picking from everyone who's ever been on the show before, and most of them probably want nothing to do with it anymore. I don't honestly believe that these six were the top vote geters, but they probably were the top six vote geters that would agree to appear on the show. All of the smart ones (no offense, Susie. I still love you) said no.

Does anybody know when Road Rules starts showing in Canada?

I can't agree more with you Jill. I can't believe people still watch this crap. Why on earth does MTV keep bringing back the same people for these shows. Don't they have anything else to do with their lives than do these stupid challanges?

Thanks for the HTML advice, Tim--much better! Hmmm...I'm not finding the place to vote, though. Is voting still available, and if so, can someone guide me to it or post the link?

for everyone having trouble with mtv's website:

if you expand your screen and scroll down to the bottom right-hand corner, you can click on "HTML SITE"

this will bring up a non-flash version of the site that is way, waaay easier to handle. doing this, you're about 85% more likely to navigate it without getting a migraine.

It took me forever to get the page to load , then voting wouldn't work... it finally did. I don't understand how this is going to work. Didn't they show us the 'pit' in the MTV studio where the battles are going to take place? How does that happen if they're on the road? The Roadmaster is terrible.

Mikey K Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 01:45 PM EST

No offense, Todd, but you were probably the only person that voted for Allison. No matter what random person some of us might have liked to have seen, the majority of people are gonna vote for the same old people time and time again. Vicky, holla @ the love. The voting was a few weeks ago. When the RR site was hardly built, it had a voting thing for any of the old cast members.

Vicky Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 01:37 PM EST

Hey Mikey K? When did they do that?? I never saw any commercials on MTV about it and I went to the website and it says nothing about letting the audience pick the alumni/allstars/whatever for the show. All it says is you get to vote as the show goes along. Nothing about choosing the castmates before the show even started. Oh and props to you and Veronica. I'm not trying to hate, I just want to see different people.

Jill Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 01:36 PM EST

The one who has definitely run out her 15 minutes of fame is Veronica. Aren't these people getting a little old to be doing this stuff?

Todd Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 01:21 PM EST

Yeah, Mikey, they let us pick, but they were offering us choices that were never going to do the show. I think I voted for Alison from the first season. Think she'd be there if she got the most votes? I don't think so.

kav Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 01:07 PM EST

I fell asleep at 9:23, so I didn't see the end. What happened?

Mikey K Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 01:05 PM EST

Vicky, they did let us pick who was on the show...

I don't care what anyone says, I love Veronica. SO much.

aramis Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 12:58 PM EST

MTV=MORON TELEVISION. Will it ever get back to the music? *sigh* :(

Vicky Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 12:51 PM EST

Yeah I agree Todd. I hated when they changed the format. Voting off cast members doesn't really work with 6 people. And I don't know if I like this new new format either. Instead of letting us choose who to vote off, they should have let us picked the cast for the show (Even though that'd never happen). I mean, Kina? Veronica? Again? Are you serious? And yeah, mtv.com is always crazy slow. I don't get that. It's kinda pathetic.

Todd Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 12:02 PM EST

I haven't liked Road Rules since caved and started the vote off nonsense. Remember when it was the same 5 or 6 people the entire season? That was fun. And remember when one of the missions was to paint a giant pink dinosaur in order to make cash for the trip (it was season one, if you don't)?

What I don't get is "Road Rules" was a success long before the rest of the shows started, so why does "Road Rules" want to be a combo of "Survivor" and "Fear Factor"? It was always like "The Real World," but they actually gave them something to do, which always made it more interesting. I know the kids today like to drink and have sex, but come on, give us a break. Give us something more interesting to watch please.
