Booooo. They should've cast Cohutta on that season. I would've loved to see him. He could've gotten either Dario or Anthony's spot. 

KellyAnne, Cohutta, and Isaac all need to come back on the challenge. #JusticeforSydney

and all three times we were supposed to get her it was bc of kids. Hahaha. The closest we got was Battle of the sexes 2, but then they said they didn’t want to pay a nanny again.

I'm mad that Alton's *** is the reason we never got Irulan back. That and she eventually just moved on.

Lmao what would Irulan have really done on the challenge though? Especially since the vote off challenges were done....and had she came on Island, she'd be out right before or after Rachel..

I think Brynn could've been a breakout rookie though with the right cast...I w***o hype to see her fork throwin *** on G3....but she aint go. SMH...

i still find it weird how we ended up with jay&jenna and thomas&hailey instead of cory&jenny and thomas&jamie the latter seemed like obvious choices

Jenny declined out of respect for Brian and I doubt Lauren was gonna do it leaving Cory with no one. I’m not 100% sure but weren’t Jamie and Thomas still dating during initial stages of casting and then broke up when they found out the theme? Loll

Cory could've been with Ashley since they hooked up in the shower...I think she wasn't even asked...

Dustin/Heather Cara/Abe were still dating.....and a lot of these ppl barely high fived(Bananas.NAny) but they exes today so whatever....production just stupid.

well Irulan lasted long on the one challenge she did plus contributed to good tv. She honestly was like having a second Coral. 

Sigh, we almost got her on G2, but declined last minute once she and Alton broke up.  And she was asked for exes but had moved on by that time.

im hoping with enough convincing Lowell can get an interview with her. Lol Arissa did say Irulan was touched that she still had fans asking about her.

I loved Irulan too.  I heard the cast didn't care for her on The Gauntlet (her or Alton) but she made good TV and was a decent competitor.  I would have been stoked to see her return.  Her and Rachel from B2NY.  They both impressed me on The Gauntlet then disappeared forever. Sad

Still waiting for Avery to coming back. In another time line she has won already and is a heavy hitter.

True...but I think new couples are always disliked....Cara Z wasn't well received on Gauntlet 1 (or 2 for that matter lol)....but Dave really didn't even care lmao.

And yeah Rachel B WAS ****** AWESOME! Her gauntlet against Sarah was heartbreaking...."It's ok you didn't do anything wrong...they just keep ******* us over."

And Rachel B siding with Coral about Mike ******* over his friend for Trishelle"He's ****** thinking with the wrong head!"

Yeah Rachel B would have been an awesome recurring cast member...but at least she got a great supporting spot on The Gauntlet.  I loved the duo confessional of Sarah G and Rachel B...Sarah says one of my favorite quotes: "Once you get rid of the whipping boy, who do you whip?"

Some updated info for the main page:

Jon (RW: LA) said he was a last minute replacement on Battle of the Seasons and David was supposed to be Beth's partner but got exteremely sick and he was flown in.

Any reason The Infero and The Duel 2 are left off the first post?  Anyone have any dirt on the casting process for those? 

CeeGee523#261

The reason that people really wanted to see Irulan back is because of the great potential that she displayed.

She's smart, scrappy, fearless, witty, confrontational, and probably was the best female competitor on the RW Gauntlet team along with Rachel B. Also, she beat Rachel R. in a wrestling competition. I almost guarantee that if she faced anyone else other than Sarah in the Deadman's Drop, she would've been in the final.

I wish she would've come back. She had the potential to be a champion.

HonestTea101#262

Irulan was a queen! I'm glad her last show was Vegas Reunited. We saw her growth from her original season, breakup with Alton, and kinda concluded everything. She'd be a pointless return in 2018, but if this were 2008 sign me the **** up!

I think I remembered seeing on here that Dan and David Leech from Viewers Revenge was considered for The Duel 2. But I’m not 100%.

Yeah she def was the strongest on the Real World side.  Rachel B and Coral were as well but Irulan was great.  I was sad she didn't come back, because I felt like she easily could have won a future season.

Emily said he was.That team is the biggest mess to figure out *********. Moreso for the guys. Emily and Ashley were locks. 

I think a DC team would have been San Diegos biggest competition

Britni said her and Hunter were contacted as replacement for Rivals but she had sprained her ankle so they used Nelson and Amanda instead

Tyranny was also asked for when the theme was bloodlines 2

Yikes. Imagine using Hunter and Britni before the star of season 3.

Nobody knows, nobody cares. They picked the correct AYTO5 cast member in Alicia Smile
