I just started watching Queer Eye and damn, Karama seems like such a genuinely good person. I wish MTV still cast people like that instead of fame ****** and idiots they pick now.

Karamo from Philly?  He was a fame where back then

I don't remember much about him from his season, but he seems like such a nice guy now.

he's almost 40 and not on a network that rewards fame ******* anymore of course he's better now. He was annoying when he was younger but so are most people

They cast like that back in the day too. Nothing's changed honestly. 

The EARLY seasons weren't cast that way in my opinion.  That's why I liked London while so many hate it

I see where your coming from but the girls were the only entertaining ones IMO

Anyone got any current pics of RR Raquel?

True Kat Sharon and Jacinda carried it. Neil and Mike had their moments

Side note: I think it would be cool if old school vs new school was it’s own series like champs vs stars. And maybe only film it in a month setting. They would probably bring more old schoolers back out.

This is the best idea i've heard on this site in awhile....that'd be epic and fun.

 I loved Sharon on the original Battle of the Seasons.  Kat recently did a '15 Min of Blame' over at Brain Candy.  I didn't know much about her, but it was interesting to here how it used to be back in the day <3

Do you do that in every thread orrr?

Wow

I just read about Vinny in this article and came here to post it:

https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/the-challenge-alum-vinny-foti-suffers-heart-failure/

(Sorry, for some reason this link doesn't go where it's supposed to, at least not for me.  I tried to delete my post but the site isn't allowing me to do that either... no idea why).  Anyway, the article mentions that Vinny is married and that they have 2 young kids.  It also said they have a GoFundMe page.  While he was never a favorite of mine, I don't wish something like this on anyone and I hope he comes through this, for himself and for his family... his kids are really young and they deserve a chance to get to know their dad.

Theresa got married & is expecting her second child. Queen is winning at life.

I didn't care for Vinny, but that sad to hear.

High cholesterol smh. 

We get Adweek at work and while looking through it I saw a familiar face. Christena from Road Rules. She made it on a "Young Influential" list and she's now the Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Omnicom which is a HUGE company.

Actual Queen shit. 

Love seeing castmembers be succesful away from the shows. 

I'm not surprised Christena is so successful.  A beautiful girl  with a brain, a good head on her shoulders & an awesome competitor aside. Most of the trash we're subjected to today won't ever come close to her achievements.

I'm still disappointed we only had Christena, Kendal and Mallory for one season.  They could have definitely changed the era if they would have been regulars but had better things to do.  The Inferno had the beset one hit wonders IMO

Christena >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

She was supposed to join the Elite ranks but it wasn't in the cards. :/ Love that she's successful regardless.

Speaking of Golden Era gems, Jisela is STILL bad as **** >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

She was definitely supposed to be a bigger name than what she was as far as entertainment; Gauntlet 2 was supposed to possibly be her 6th Challenge (I remember hearing rumors that she was supposed to do the Gauntlet, Inferno and BOTSexes 2). I would've liked to see more interaction with her & Katie.

The only time she even tried was on Seasons IIRC

I'm glad she wasn't on The Inferno--that was a great cast without her.   I wouldn't give up Holly, Veronica, Christena, Kendal or Katie for anyone.  It was accidentally the best female cast on one side ever.  Hell--Coral, Julie, Trishelle, Leah & Mallory might make that the best female cast ever.  They probably would have bumped Roni from The Gauntlet for her so I'm glad that didn't happen either.

I feel like I would've like her. But I only saw her on Gauntlet 2, I think. And she quit that season ******

Oh she was not the best competitor lol but as far as drama she could bring it. I honestly think had she not missed her flight, Tina wouldn't have debuted until BOTSexes 2 but we'll never know.

The Inferno cast definitely worked well without her but looking back on it, I wouldn't have minded her taking Kina's place on the next season.

Battle of The Seasons was definitely her standout season. She stayed getting into it with Holly & Chadwick + the RR team in general for how they were voting.
