MTV: Fresh Meat

Anybody watching?

Coral was the only reason I decided to tune in.

I kinda like the twist of having them compete in pairs: one alumni with one of the fresh meat. Although, all of the attention is going to be on the alumni competing and the whole politics amongst them. The Austin people, being new to the challenges, have a huge target on their backs. But, I really don't mind, because I can't stand either of them. I particularly don't like Danny/Melinda and Wes.

If you haven't, you gotta watch the After Show on MTV Overdrive. Coral and Danny are interviewed, and of course Coral will just crack you up with her observations of the cast. LOL!

I thought it was fairly entertaining. Loved all of the plotting against the Austin crew. I remember why I hated Johanna exactly. Stupid !@#$%^&*] could have had it exactly the way she wanted it, but she was too stupid to realize it. Guess her brain can only comprehend one command at a time.

I kinda felt bad for Danny, though. I actually liked him during his season, and he's the only RW/RR'er who has a cute Boston accent. CT and Randy had terrible accents.

Wow! Clearly, I love Coral again!

I like Johanna the bets out of all the Austin people. And, ummm, Danny is a MORON, PER USUAL! Because if Johanna and her partner voted for Tonnie and Jonnie, Danny still would have had 10 votes. T/J would have had 8. DUH! Danny is such a moron. I can't even take it!

OH HOORAY!!! DANNY IS GONE!!!! I am so glad I don't have to watch him ALLLLLLL season!

"The Walk of Shame is the worst feeling in the world." - Danny.

God, if I had a penny for every time he has called something the worst feeling in the world....

My predictions for four of the final 8 are Aviv/Darrel, and, obviously, Coral and Evan.

I watched too and it wasnt too bad. I didnt like the setup at first bc I thought it was going to be the Alumni vs the Newbies but that wouldnt be fair and really pairing them up is the only way for us to care about any of them.

Now I see why everyone hates the Austin cast. I didnt really watch that season but HATE Danny. Why do they think they're the sh-t? They walk around strutting their stuff as if they run the place. I was upset that they were classifed as Alumni. No they are not. This is their first challenge and barely know any of these people. They are just as much newbies as the fresh meat. I thought they were so rude, bullying and taking advantage of the newbies, by kicking them out of their rooms so they could have their "personal" space. Oh and where does Wes get off calling Tonya a slut? He doesnt even know her!

I had to laugh though when they're plan backfired and both Danny and Wes went into exile. I was kind of rooting for Wes bc I do like him despite his trashy gf and best friend. So glad Danny got the boot. He sucks and he's the worst. I dont know what happened bc he seemed like such a sweet guy when Austin began. Johanna is dumb. Dont know why she didnt vote to put the leading team in. I never did like her and I hope she's next. I'm also glad that idiot, Ev got the boot too. In her video, she called all the vets stupid. Um you dont know them and they were obviously smarter and better than you since you left after the first challenge.

I still think the cast is weak. It feels really bad when Coral is the oldest there. I guess they couldnt find anyone before her to come on this one. Love that Tina's here. She's so funny. I loved her line about the Austin cast when she said "You're initiation is to stay here for a week and then go home" lol.

No, because then a team after Johanna and her partner also voted for Danny. So, even if Jo and her partner voted for Tonnie and Jonnie, the team after them still would have voted for Danny and Ev, and Danny still would have lost by two votes.

First, this is much better than I was expecting...love the pairings.

Half of the newbies barely have a personality worthwhile for TV though. Casey is 18 and from the Woodlands (rich suburb of Houston)...and she is disappointing me.

The house is cheap, the bedrooms are cheap - the opening is cheap - the entire feel and look of the challegen is cheaper than the Infernos and the Gauntlets - I expected more from that aspect. Oh and Exile Island? Ripoff of Survivor I think...

The Austin cast is pissing me off. First, I've never liked Wes - he's arrogant and annoying, let alone ugly as hell. I don't see what Johanna seems in him- except she's a FLAKE! Danny could do better than Melinda too - she's homely. Anyway that season sucked (Austin is like my PLACE to go have fun, and the season disappointed). Glad they are ganging up on them, but kinda sucks to be them as you'd figure the newmbies would be given hell or initiation as Tina calls it. I mean Austin has been on TV before and had higher ratings than any of those Road Rules seasons and most of the RW seasons...so I mean they are way more known than half the people in this Challenge.

Anyway I'm sad that Danny is leaving over Wes - I mean they are both annoying, yet Wes is worse of the two.

Love Love Love Coral though. But that is sad she is the oldest player they could get and she's SEASON 10!

Anyway this is still all much better than I expected - I'll keep watching.

Austin was *the* worst, more poorly cast season in the HISTORY of Real World so it is poetic justice seeing them bashed in this challenge, lol.

I don't know why everyone was so hard on the idea of Fresh Meat. The challenges were getting stale and bringing in all those boring people from Road Rules didn't help last year. I see a few people who could be interesting for later challenges.

The casting here was PERFECT. I'm so glad that Tonya, Coral and Sexy Shane are back.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
