Fresh Meat 2 debuts, but no Situation? Come on...

So MTV debuted Fresh Meat 2 and I think MTV really missed the boat on NOT including Ronnie or The Situation as part of the Fresh Meat. I know that it is an attempt to bring some "new blood" into the challenges, but the only guys that I think might stick are Vinny, Noor and the guy Pete that kept yelling at Jillian during the exile challenge. As far as the women, sadly Cara Maria (darrell's partner) will be back because she cried while Laurel is hooking up with everybody, so you KNOW she is down to party. Same with Theresa (I think that is her) that is trying to hook up with BOTH Wes and Mr. Beautiful Kenny. She will bring an end to the shaky treaty that those two have agreed to, which is what we need to happen to Serena and Venus.

As far as the "alumni," can somebody answer me as to why Katelynn is allowed to have a guy as a partner. (Sorry, that was too easy). Also, CJ is a rookie himself. I'd be pissed to be his partner.

Going back to the episode, Darrell's early exit is huge, and I think that if he can stay on the correct side of the politics, Landon is now the HUGE favorite to take the thang home. If Ev and Sara ever go head to head, that will be awesome. But they won't be in a one-on-one, it would be in an exile, and Ev will lose because her partner seems like a tool. Why wouldn't they let Bronne play? Why did they let CJ go to BC? I dunno. Maybe Bronne could have co-hosted with TJ?

But back to my original point, I wish that MTV (owned by Viacom) could have reached over to its sister Broadcast channel CBS and swiped a few Survivor folks for the Fresh Meat. Imagine Tyson in there. He would do well AND his quick wit would RULE in that house. He would TEAR THEM ALL APART verbally and in confessional, and since he is clearly an idiot-he REALLY believed Russell?-he would fit like a glove.
And throw Pavati in there...she'd get all of the guys on her side by flirting before stabbing them all in the back. NICE.

Or, MTV could have jumped into its OWN programming for other players. The Situation and Ronnie (though with Ronnie, we'd probably have to wave the steroid testing...). The Situation would think that ALL of the chicks wanted him while Ronnie might kill someone with Roidrage. And you KNOW they'd form an alliance only to break it because Jenn got between them.
Also, MTV could have snagged Charlie (Spencer's friend from The Hills, as I don't think Spencer would do it.) and Stephanie/ShePratt (since clearly she'll do anything to be on TV) for two more. Charlie could rock the creepy, flesh-colored beard while She-Pratt could just be utterly useless but still more valuable than, say, Casey.
Next, MTV could go to its A Shot at Love2 crew and get Chad, who headbutted Bo to get DQ'd. And also from that same season, Lisa, who just willed herself to win EVERY SINGLE date with Tila, until she was eliminated....probably because she was a softball coach. This is what I wrote about her back in June of 2008: Lisa ALWAYS is doing something stupid to piss Tila off, but she can ALWAYS earn the private date RIGHT before elimination to patch things up and she is NEVER in any danger it seems. I believe she is the odds on favorite to win this because, NO WAY Jersey is winning this thing, No WAY Bo wins, because Bo is basically Bobby-the jerk that "broke her heart." And Lisa is so much cooler than Kristy, so Lisa is the odds on favorite to take this thing. I bet she gets that attitude from being a softball coach. I bet if one of her players struggles, she just YELLS at her OR goes out and physically does it 100 times until she gets the results she wants. Lisa is mad strong and seems to be in everyone's head in the Tila House.

So we are at Ronnie, The Situation, Chad, Charlie, Tyson and Parvati, Lisa and ShePratt. Thus far. Throw Ozzy in from Survivor:Cook. From Newport Harbor: Samantha, who was fat; Lo from Laguna Beyotch and the Hills. Our last two both come from Maui Fever: Chaunte and Anna. Anna would be good in the challenges while Chaunte would be the new slut that Wes gets to yell at.

I'm not saying this is an all-star lineup or anything, but I DO think it would make for a good show. If I were to redo the draft, with the same order, here is how I think it plays out....

Darrell picks Lisa.
Jenn takes Ozzy
Kenny takes Parvati
Danny takes Anna
Wes takes Chaunte (I made him in this case)
Ryan takes ShePratt
CJ takes Lo
Landon takes Samantha (fresh off eating her way through Europe with Allie)
Paula takes Tyson
Sarah takes Chad
Jillian takes The Situation
Katelynn takes Ronnie
Ev takes Charlie

Yep, that's how it goes. It would be a strong show. You KNOW you'd watch.
