Lantern7 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 RealityBlurred reveals RW: Skeletons. I probably say this every year, but this might be the line I'm not willing to cross.

I dunno what ticks me off more . . . that I share my first name with one of these MENSA members, or there's another girl from my neck of the woods ready to disgrace our hometown.

Lantern7 December 3, 2014 Share December 3, 2014 From the Department of I Don't Know Where Else To Put This: I saw CT on the third season sneak preview of Kroll Show tonight. Short story: he more or less plays himself (smoking and all) in a movie produced by one of Nick Kroll's creations, Bobby Bottleservice. I checked the credits . . . that was our boy. And with our luck, the sneak preview isn't slated to air. My suggestion: check the web site. It should pop up there soon. ETA: CT pops up in this teaser clip. Check 0:16 (in the driver's seat with the headphone) and 2:02. Apparently, he's going to be taking part in Gigolo House, one of the many shows within Kroll Show.

Maharincess December 13, 2014 Share December 13, 2014 I would have put Judd at the top of the most forgettable list. I couldnt stand his whiny, know it all ass.

Lantern7 December 13, 2014 Share December 13, 2014 I think stuff outside the season counts. Otherwise, you could've made a case for Jamie Chung, who seldom took the spotlight in RW: San Diego. Judd wound up coming a cartoonist/comic book writer, adapting Pedro's story to graphic novel (Pedro & Me; not exploitive and a must-read), and he married Pam. I can understand Judd turning some people off, but I never thought he was especially bad and/or dull. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13952-rw-in-the-media-somehow-the-show-is-almost-relevant/#findComment-648087
Bastet December 13, 2014 Share December 13, 2014 I liked Judd from the moment he described himself as a "real bed-wetting liberal" in dissecting his attraction to the conservative Rachel. He was so awkward to watch at times, but so relatable in that awkwardness. My most forgettable from that season would be Mohammed; I remember liking what I saw of him, but it was so little that nothing stands out all these years later. Jamie I barely remember from the SD season (one of the last I watched; I can't remember when, exactly, I threw in the towel for good) and I've never seen any of her acting gigs, so she's quite forgettable to me. I remember the name when she's mentioned, but I don't have a clear mental picture.

Which might be why Anessa didn't answer since she is still on MTV and might get a ton of "fan messages".

I admit, I've lost track over the years which networks fall under the same umbrella. I don't know who, but someone. I could totally see Oxygen scooping it up and pairing it with "The Bad Girls Club" (both Bunim-Murray), thus making the Bad Girls eligible to compete on the Challenge ... even though they'd be worthless at the present-day Challenges. Maybe if it was the "challenges" were constructed for original Challenge, Challenge 2000, Extreme Challenge, and even the original Battle of the Seasons, but certainly not for the current "5th major American sport" / extreme-sports version we have now.
