Road Rules South Pacific just ended its run last night. Mid-season, it was thought to be that South Pacific would be the last season of Road Rules. There were several reports, however no official announcement, that BMP would stop with this twelfth season. However, probably because of its impressive ratings, BMP has decided to continue on the series. Casting has begun for the thirteenth season. This season, Road Rules consistently beat out The Real World Paris in ratings. For the past few seasons, Real World ratings have been at an all-time high, primarily due to the reason that it was a lead-in to the Osbournes. However, with the Osbournes bowing out early this year, Real World has been turning in dismal ratings... with Road Rules actually coming out on top. They even actually used South Pacific casting department to cast the San Diego season. Personally, this season of Road Rules was great. It was reminiscent of the older seasons, and the quality of this last season was probably not last seen since Australia. The only issue with the show is the voting out rule. Although, Chris, Tina, and Jeremy were great additions to the cast, it throws the group dynamic that is the heart of Road Rules. Road Rules was never a reality game show, it was more of Real World on the road. Our advice to BMP, save the games for the Challenges and Battles, revert to the old Road Rules design.
Rebecca (Seattle) will be making an appearance with her band, Becky. You can check her out tomorrow on the Sharon Osbourne Show. Check your local listings for airtimes. (Notable: Keanu Reeves, star of The Matrix, is in the band.)
