If anyone keeps up with Susie's "Brain Candy" podcast, she did an interview earlier this year with Tara from Road Rules 5. Tara mentions that she recently reconnected with Anne, shortly before learning that Bruce Toms had passed away, which she thought was an interesting coincidence. The interview ended with them wanting to schedule a "Road Rules Reunion" dinner and gather all alum who live in the LA area. And yes! Maximum Velocity Tour was nominated for an Emmy in 2001. More specifically, the episode where they travel to South Africa. And if anyone's curious, so many Road Rules alum now live in the Los Angeles/Greater Southern California area today; Mark, Kit, Allison, Devin, Timmy, Kalle, Erika, Vince, Tara, Anne, Susie, Christina, Chadwick, Abe, Gladys, Pawel, Holly P., Theo, Laterrian, M'Saada, Blair, Sarah G, Eric, Dave, Jeremy, Patrick, Ibis, Angela, David, and Dan, just off the top of my head.

Interesting. From what I've found, Effie moved to New York City and works as a chef. She was a chef at one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco about 5 years ago before she moved. She has a daughter, but from what I remember she had divorced producer Mark Perez. Mark Perez, along with two other producers, and Devin and Timmy flew out to Norway two years ago to see Christian. There's a picture on Christian's facebook.

Reading those recaps is what got me to post here! I have about 5-6 episodes taped from the original airing, along with the 'Ultimate Missions' special. I'm hoping that someone out there has it taped too. I've seen so much mention of this season on this forum. It's getting my hopes up! Speaking of M'Saada, she's a big time casting director now, having cast movies like Selma, and shows like Grey's Anatomy. James just got home after living in Jordan for awhile, and Theo obviously is a stand up comic in Los Angeles.

So, I'm going to go ahead and resurrect this thread, and ask those who have recorded episodes on VHS to come forward, haha. I'm dying to see Road Rules 9 again. It was the first season that go me hooked, and it seems to be the only season that's not available ANYWHERE.
