The Challenge: What Could Have Been (SPOILERS)

Who were the alternates for this season?

I think they were Amazing Race Kayla Fitzgerald and EOTB Billie Reilich

wasn't Devin also an alternate?

wasn't Devin also an alternate?

I know he was last season, not sure about this season

so glad he wasn't on this season.  I couldn't take any more overacting people with Wes, Jordan, and Josh all on this season lol

I met Pete back when he was in college. A complete pill popper

I know it was a super long time ago, but any info on Battle of the Seasons 1?  I know Lori was supposed to be the Miz's partner but due to September 11th was scared to fly so Coral was picked.  They said that in the aftershow from it.  Just curious if any other info is out there. 

Side Note: as much as I wanted to see Lori again after Sexes 1, cause she was hialrious, thining of anyone but Coral as a partner for Mike is just crazy to me lol

Frank Sweeney was going to be apart of War of the Worlds 2? It's depressing he declined due to a pay dispute :/

If Aneesa just woulda beat Cara in That Pull elimination. Cory would be a challenge champion. Cory/Mitch, Aneesa/Rihanna (however you spell it, Jenna/Brianna woulda been in that final

Heather B. Was the alternate for Becky for Team NY. That's all I can remember.

That seems to be the reason a lot of people haven't come back recently. I assume they aren't offering some of these vets that much anymore and they have jobs that make them way much more $.

another Seasons 2 info: LaToya said in a recent interview that her and Swift were alternates for either Marie & Robb / Trey & Laura.

I still wish they would have had time to bring any other team possible instead of Fresh Meat.  Or why they ever thought to combine LV still is weird too me.

She would have been fun to see again!  I'm glad we got Becky on a Challenge though.  We just needed Julie then all three iconic original RW ladies would have been on one.  Too bad it wasn't teams of four like Seasons 2.  Would have been interesting who else popped up back then. 

going to update this with some information for S36 based on posts from PR, Gamer, jay etc. and some stuff i had

of course! i think its good to see it all in one central place, crazy how some seasons couldve went a total different route lol

Ashley Mitchell could have been cast on Dirty II...

Just read the initial post. Yeah during Rivals 2 Dustin & Heather were on Couple's Therapy I think. I could be wrong because the weather was sunny. 

Tyler from Key West just dropped some interesting TEA. So apparently he was dropped the day the before his flight for Free Agents, which what turned him against doing challenges ever again, plus he was also starting a new job. He was called to do Duel 2 but missed all 17 calls to reach him and they cast Ryan Kehoe over him. On Battle of the Seasons, Team Keywest actually was cast. They were supposed to be in place of team Road Rules and it was gonna be Janelle, Paula, Tyler, and Johnny. However casting used the Freshmeat team instead. This could be another reason why Johnny was so furious during that season. I'm sad that Janelle actually said yes, she apparently said she would only do one more bc she was starting a family, and then casting dropped her.

He screwed himself on Duel 2 then...shocked they went with that FM team over Key West

You beat me to it KVM. Tyler can only blame himself for Duel 2.

Sad we were robbed of another Janelle appearance. Although a key west team being available and then not using them during that time is weird lol Paula and Johnny were their favs it seemed. Legit so many good options for seasons 2 and they last minute used Fresh Meat. So annoying, especially since Camilla wasn't an actual Freah Meat cast members and the whole team really added nothing to that season :/

I don't get why they drop people like that. Like that is so shitty and unprofessional to me. Like I can see droping someone while they're still putting the cast together but the day before departure? Like that's bullshit. Like y'all really had people doing all that planning and getting shit together only to go "lol sorry we don't want you". I wouldn't want to do the show either after that.

I was kinda mad to hear it. Tyler also said they were a third in line alternate team. When Sydney fell through, production attempted a Road Rules team but it didn't work out, after that production called and cast team Keywest and then they changed their minds and did team Freshmeat. (Eye roll)

I'm shocked Key West wasn't final casted either. Really don't understand why Fresh Meat was brought on, unless production wanted a layup team which they ended up being. 

I'm more than happy Key West wasn't use and I don't care enough about Tyler to feel sympathy. It would've turned into a Wes v Johnny similar to FM2 with Kenny and sucked the freshness of that season.

I'm more than okay with FreshMeat being there since they went home Ep3&4

Wasn't it said that production wanted a fresh cast? That's probably why Key West was dropped. It would have been nice to see Janelle but that Key West team would have ran through everyone so I'm good. Every other team had a weak link. 

They really dropped Tyler the day before Free Agents and not Preston?? 

Cmon guys

I thought that Team Fresh Meat was a replacement team for Team Sydney so I think Tyler might be confused there. It was probably more likely that Janelle probably was on the fence so they left them off, and then Team FM was used because they were ready to go last minute to replace Sydney

Cmon guys

Preston was such a non-factor in FA, Im okay with Tyler not being on.
