So who's signed up for the Battle of the Seasons Fantasy game? Go to mtv.com and play. But just make sure you sign up before 6 p.m. EST today! edited to add that my name over there is HannahBeth25 and if you sign up, post your mtv.com username so we can all add you to our buddy lists and track your team's progress! -- H (spam@hannahbeth.com), January 28, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------I signed up, and I'm so ready for my team to prove me right. I put you on my list, Hannah, but for the rest of you if you want to check out my team BlahBlahBlahWhinecakes, my user name is perpetualblonde.
Oh man, bring it on!
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 28, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------I put you on mine too. We have similar teams! We can root for Belou to self-destruct together. I'm just hoping she hasn't matured and mellowed.
People sign up! This should be fun.
-- H (spam@hannahbeth.com), January 28, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------I love Belou. She is by far the most whack one.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 28, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------Man, I am so unfamiliar with the RR casts. But I've got a team (Spawn of Our National Decline, for the curious).
-- WG (writerspam@diaryland.com), January 28, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------WG, what's your user name? Need it to add to buddy list.
My user name is the_real_slickery because some asshole took slickery. Bastige. You can tell I haven't watch either show recently cause most of my people are old skool.
The problem is the people I like - Norman, Becky from season 1 - were fairly mature when they were on the show 10 years ago, I doubt they are big babies now. Also, so glad they have LA Beth but I would pay good cash money for a team with LA Beth AND Amaya.
-- Slickery (slickery@slickery.net), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------It's jesslynn99 (I registered until my real name). What's Hannah's?
-- WG (writerspam@diaryland.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------That's under my real name. I got no sleep last night.
-- WG (writerspam@diaryland.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Okay, that was fun - my username is sperare, and my team name is Sassy N Classy! But I am bitter that Amaya isn't in this - she would be the ringer!
-- Kristin (kristin@sperare.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Buddy names are case-sensitive, i.e. typing "hannahbeth25" will get you nowhere, as I just learned.
Ooh, this is going to be fun!
-- WG (writerspam@diaryland.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Oh, wait, that's not RW Miami Dan with a bad haircut? Crap.
Slickery's team and mine are nearly identical.
-- WG (writerspam@diaryland.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I guess because having Amaya on there would jack up everyone's scores.
Did we all pick Theo?
-- H (hannah@hannahbeth.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I think so! Theo cracks me up.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Wait, that Dan isn't RW Miami Dan? Because I chose him solely for Drama Queen antics. Dammit, now I gotta go fix that.
-- Slickery (slickery@slickery.net), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I picked Theo because he's sure to get drunk so he might puke and he's sure to piss off Coral if they spend more than 10 seconds together.
I just used one of my trades to get rid of not-Dan and pick up Adam who doesn't take his ADD meds. But I really wish I'd paid more attention to reading the bios because this one girl Holly from RR is on there and I didn't realize it was her. The only thing I remember from that season is Holly is a big bitch, especially Ms. I Am the Best Athlete EVAH freaking out on the ski thing (luge maybe? some winter sport with unitards) and yelling at the camera man. And now she's married to some other person who is also there. And, well, I know what would happen to my marriage if r and I did this together so I totally would have picked them.
-- Slickery (slickery@slickery.net), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Wait. Holly M. is MARRIED. To who?! Oh, Chadwick... I totally forgot about that. Well, I'll be sure to get some hooking up points.
-- H (hannah@hannahbeth.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------And Belou is bringing her child. The hell? THAT'S how damn crazy she is.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Belou has a kid?! Damn. I clearly did no research when I picked my team. But you know, people don't change, right?
-- H (hannah@hannahbeth.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------In the Real World/Road Rules TV sense, no, they don't change.
You? Me? Yeah, sure.
Now if I find out Cowboy Jon from LA had turned into a Vegas showgirl, I'll change my opinion.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I am clueless - how can you see other people's teams?
-- Kristin (kristin@sperare.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------On your own roster page, in the left column is a link to Buddy List or something. You need to go there and then add user names. -- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Thanks Keli! -- Kristin (kristin@sperare.com), January 28, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Whew, I was worried when they were talking about voting off Chris and Belou. Belou is my fighting/crying bread and butter baby!
But here's my question: WHY would they show scenes? You could totally see people fighting and hooking up, and from what I saw Theo and Holly ain't going NOwhere.
-- H (hannah@hannahbeth.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Gah! I'm like 100 points behind Keli. Who do you have that pushed you so far ahead? It's because Chris and Belou came in last and Mike and Flora didn't do so hot either. Damn them.
But.but. Holly cried. And Belou yelled!
-- H (spam@hannahbeth.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Man, I'm in last place y'all. That sucks.
I was suprised that Jisela was the highest scoring girl until I checked the breakdown. 30 points for the buzzword alone! Anyone know what the buzzword was? Holly M. was next highest with a good score in the challenge and crying. Woo! Although it seems they are giving her and Chadwick platonic kiss/hug points for macking rather than hooking up points. I suppose that makes sense as they are already hooked up but it's weird.
So Beth is gone and I have to do another trade. I'd like Belou but I'm wondering how long her "but my baby is asleeeeep!" whining will keep her around. I can't even believe they let her bring a baby. Cute kid though. I may go with Jisela, she cries at the drop of a hat.
But what I really, REALLY want to know is the backstory behind the Beth and Norman hatefest. She said he was trying to sell a movie and didn't and she did (she did? to whom?) and he's jealous. Norman said they were friends for a year and a half and she lied and lied and cheated and lied. I'm sure the story is "Hey Beth, here's my idea for a movie." "That's neat Norman. . . Hey Producer, here's my idea for a movie! Hey Norman, I sold a movie!" "that's my movie bitch!" But still I want the story.
-- Slickery (slickery@slickery.net), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Where do you get the breakdown?
I'm getting rid of Chris (as much as it kills me) for Mike from NY. He's a total pep and trash talker. Why didn't I have him before. I'm also trading out Lindsey or Flora for Jisela. Where was Flora this episode???
I am WAY too obsessed.
-- H (spam@hannahbeth.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm in like 96,000th place. I'm not exagerating. (Also, I found the point breakdowns.)
Who were the girls in the RW inner circle? Coral, Becky and...?
-- H (spam@hannahbeth.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Uh, no idea, apparently someone with nothing to say. Elka?
-- Slickery (slickery@slickery.net), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Yep, it's Elka.
Dizzamn people! I loved the show last night. Right now my team is ranked 10912.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I know. You schooled ALL our asses. Except Kristin who isn't far behind you.
I got rid of Flora and picked up Piggy. And I got rid or RR3 Chris and picked up NY Mike. WHAT was I thinking not picking him to begin with? I guess I didn't realize he was so athletic. And he was representing the whole show with his Buckeyes tee.
-- H (spam@hannahbeth.com), January 29, 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------------------See, I picked Mike NY and Adam and Theo because they're all absurdly hyper. I picked Chris because I figured Belou would be fighting with him in no time. I picked Belou, because she is crazy ass. Same for Jisela, but more whorey. Coral, because she enjoys schoolin' triflin' minds, and Coral, because I have no doubt she'll refuse to participate in something and talk shit about people.
I'm not going to change my people around yet, since you can only do that 6 times and there's 16 weeks of shows.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I meant Flora for my last girl
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I changed one yesterday and now I have to change another because Beth's ass got kicked.
I have Stephen, Theo, Adam and Sean but I had Sean benched and he score twice what Adam did. So do I keep Adam because dude is going to go off his meds or put Sean in since he might keep giving pep talks and doing well in challenges? Dizamn who figured there would be strategy?
I have Beth, Flora, Lyndsay and Coral and I benched Coral because I am a dumbass. I'm benching Flora and upping Coral and picking up married Holly the crying athletic baby. I know Belou is nuttier than a breeding fruitcake but I don't see her lasting. And I get this "Team Guido of Survivor" vibe with Chadwick and Holly; they'll make us hate them, all the other players will hate them, but they'll last fucking forever. And if Chadwick goes? Holly will cry and bitch and moan.
Okay, the shots for the rest of the season? Speculation as to who the guy in bed making out was. I thought it was Sean (RW Boston) and was shocked since his ass is married. On the MTV boards they think it's Mike from NY but I don't think his hair is long enough to stick up like that.
-- Slickery (slickery@slickery.net), January 29, 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I couldn't tell who the guy was in the bed, but the girl looked like Lindsay. I could be wrong.
And over at TWoP (MBTV), there are rumors that Chadwick and Piggy get kicked next.
-- K (keli@zoomtown.com), January 29, 2002.
-- Anonymous, January 30, 2002
If Chadwick and Piggy go next I will be pissssed because I just traded out for Piggy. Then again, it will make for a LOT of crying and yelling from both Piggy and Holly, both of whom I have.Man, then I'll only have 3 trades for 14 episodes!
-- Anonymous, January 30, 2002
The biggest way I'll get screwed over is when Chris and Belou or ADDam and Jizzela or Mike and Coral get kicked out. Hopefully, Mike and Coral are in it for the long haul.
-- Anonymous, January 30, 2002
but the girl looked like Lindsay...
Y'all know Lindsay is a DJ on a morning show here in ATL, right?
-- Anonymous, January 30, 2002
Yeah! She's also in one of Miss Cleo's infomercials.
-- Anonymous, January 30, 2002
And she is. So. Annoying.I accidentaly set our radio to that station a few weeks ago. It is never fun to wake up in a blind fury of annoyance at insipid Lindsay.
-- Anonymous, January 30, 2002
Becky from RW1 gives a peek into her Extreme Challenge diary her e. It's hilarious.
-- Anonymous, February 01, 2002
Y'all have to read that! So good.
[The Road Rules] version of team spirit consisted of eating their teammate's liver with some fava beans and fine Red Bull.
HA!
-- Anonymous, February 01, 2002
I thought the guy in bed looked like Dan. Not Miami-RW-Dan. The RR Dan. And he had past hookups/"connections" with both Holly and Tara. And they're both there... I was surprised that never came up. Maybe they're saving it.
-- Anonymous, February 01, 2002
Is everyone ready for tonight? Don't forget that if you have last minute changes, the roster freezes at 6.My team better do better.
Go crazy Belou!
-- Anonymous, February 04, 2002
Go Belou! Go Jizzela! Please let Coral rip Stephen a new one!
-- Anonymous, February 04, 2002
Jisela? Meet issues. Issues? Jisela.But yay for crazy Belou! But I went and benched Lindsay, who was all OVER this episode, and Piggy was mum.
Next week looks goooood though.
I wonder if we get points for NY Mike's humping...
-- Anonymous, February 04, 2002
Evidently not. Most everyone had really low points this game, obviously, since there was no competition. Too bad we don't get points for pouting because then Piggy would be my bank.Go Keli for being number one and for being like in the top 500 overall. Wow!
-- Anonymous, February 05, 2002
I am completely and utterly confused by MTV's math.I thought I was in 1482nd place. Now I'm 500?
I just want the car.
-- Anonymous, February 06, 2002
Like I even need to reiterate this point: Stephen = freak.
-- Anonymous, February 11, 2002
Even though, yet again, there was little challenge, it was still a good episode. I don't know why Holly and Chadwick don't bother me, but they don't. How crazy is Belou?? Did you see her freaking out when Piggy got eliminated? Weird.O.
-- Anonymous, February 12, 2002
ARgh! I'm sucking ass at this game.Lindsay had 55 points. Guess who's on my bench. Yup.
WG kicked ass in points this week, by the way...
-- Anonymous, February 12, 2002
Thanks, Hannah, but I traded Lindsay for Jisela. So, I suck.I can't even watch the show (no cable). Is Flora ever going to start being the bitch I knew and loved?
-- Anonymous, February 12, 2002
I know that Stephen is a fucker, but it hardly seems ethical to vote him off after you're signed your name indicating otherwise.Shit. Now I have to use a trade to get rid of Belou. Boo.
-- Anonymous, February 25, 2002
Do we know that they actually signed anything? Remember last week when Stevil mentioned signing something and everyone else was like, "Whatever, Dude. Trust us" and whatnot?As much as I hate hate hate him, I hope they don't vote him out just becuse he is the most annoying person on Earth. Now, if they hadn't all agreed to something, I would have hoped he would have left last week.
And I'm going insane with the abrupt ending of the show with no previews.
-- Anonymous, February 26, 2002
Someone tell me what's happening! I have no cable! Should I trade Stephen away now? Who for?Also, go Slickery!
-- Anonymous, February 28, 2002
My cable went out, so I didn't get to see it, but from what I've read, a lot of people went home.Luckily I only have to trade out Belou and Lindsay and then bench Miami Mike.
Plus, how is it that I'm totally losing. Of all my buddies I'm last. Mayn.
-- Anonymous, March 05, 2002
Yeah, I have five people I need to trade now.I'm relieved that they sent Stephen home. I hated seeing him on my screen and hearing his delusions.
It looks like Miz Mike and Tara hook up next week, but I'm not so sure I want to add her. It's going to be a pain figuring out who I should pick.
-- Anonymous, March 05, 2002
Does anybody else remember how curly-haired Holly was "sooooo unbelievable close" to Dan and how he was "the best male she's ever known, period" on the last RW/RR Challenge? When I saw them both on there I figured there'd be at least a little drama from that but nada. Also the fact that on their RW trip, Dan and Tara were totally BF/GF and she got pissy when she met his real life girlfriend, etc. Nada there either. What gives???

Maturity?

Not very likely!
-- Anonymous, March 05, 2002
Here's my questions: if they point now is to win as a team RW vs RR, then why do all the 2-person teams care so much about where they place? I can see aiming for first due to the prizes, but other than that, wouldn't you just want to make sure someone from your show is in first?
-- Anonymous, April 17, 2002
Hannah, I could be totally wrong on this but I thought that the pair team winner from whatever team (RW or RR) wins gets the big money and then the 2nd and 3rd place from that same winning team gets a payout as well.By the way, how cute is Sean? I almost had a freakin' tear in my eye when he and Elka won the cars.
-- Anonymous, April 17, 2002
Emily and James?!? Gag.And will Elka go all greedy? I bet her daddy wouldn't like that.
Has anyone checked on their team stats? I haven't looked in weeks. Don't care. That got boring fast, huh?
-- Anonymous, May 06, 2002
The whole money thing is getting very complicated, so I can't blame anyone for not wanting to go in with someone else.Word about Emily and James though. Didn't she see how kooky nuts he is?
-- Anonymous, May 06, 2002
Hmmmm....Emily taking Seattle Rebecca's sloppy seconds....lovely.
-- Anonymous, May 07, 2002
Holly's such a baby.Do you think any of the Holly/Emily tension stems from the fact that Emily now dates Holly's former crush?
-- Anonymous, May 13, 2002
Did anyone catch the RW/RR end of season Q & A session the other night? Just like the rest of the show, it was as challenging and entertaining as unfurling two entangled paper clips.The most interesting thing was they revealed that Theo and Becky had a tryst.
-- Anonymous, May 29, 2002
I'd read that on E!, so for me the most enlightening thing was that Theo and Coral had a little something on the side.And of course Mike is going to wrestling school. Doesn't it seem like most people can't really tolerate him?
-- Anonymous, May 31, 2002
Doesn't it seem like most people can't really tolerate him?I think that he is one of those people that is really nice but has a tendency to do/say things that embarrass the people around him, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
In a word, immaturity. Sadly, my boyfriend sometimes suffers from this disease. But his good qualities override his buffooness for the most part.
I'd read that on E!, so for me the most enlightening thing was that Theo and Coral had a little something on the side.
This surprised me too...do you think that she is attracted to his intellectual side? (giggling uncontrollably)
