BMP tries out strange casting technique for the next few days in Atlanta, GA

BMP has been hitting up different cities around the country all month in hopes of finding the perfect cast for The Real World 19 and Fresh Meat 2. But BMP recently posted a weird message at their casting page, asking people to send requests for them to review groups.

Yes, BMP is searching for student organizations in Atlanta, GA to be a part of the next two casts. We don't know why this is. However, I'm sure it has something to do with the "type" of people that BMP wants to cast. (IE. Maybe they want people who are casted in the confines of a bar or a nightclub.) Anyway, it's all speculation.

Atlanta and Lubbock, TX are the last two cities on BMP's list and no word yet if there will be any last minute additions for this season's casting calls.

Northwestern University chronicles the audition process for this season and asks past castmembers advice

Now that Fresh Meat 2 and The Real World 19 are currently casting, Northwestern University has two articles in its newspaper detailing the audition process (MTV recently came to Chicago for casting) and contacted Norman (New York), Danny (New Orleans), Mike (Back to New York), and Tyler (Key West) about their thoughts on their casting process.

The first article talks about the audition process that day in Chicago and even details what the actual audition process is like. (You sit around in a circle with other applicants and talk about yourself.)

The second article asks the former castmembers what their audition process was like and asks their advice on potential castmembers wanting to go through the audition process.

Check out the articles. They give a pretty interesting view of what's going on in the casting world of BMP. They also give the Blog a mention too.

Castmembers will be at a casting for RW19/FM2 in Lubbock, Texas; Castmembers will have an after-party

Usually, casting news isn't normally news. (By the way, if you want to know what the scheduled casting dates are for Real World 19 and Fresh Meat 2 scroll down.) However, this yet unannounced casting date is a bit out of the ordinary.

BMP will be casting on Saturday October 21 in Lubbock, Texas (no details on where yet) from 10am to 5pm. The interesting thing is that there will be several castmembers holding an appearance the same night in Lubbock at Beer Garden. Mark (USA Tour I) is confirmed to be there and there should be other castmembers showing up.

So, for you Real World/Road Rules aficionados who live in Texas, this should be a special treat for you. Try to get on the show during the day and hang out with castmembers at night.

Fresh Meat 2 is now casting, which probably means that Road Rules was passed up by MTV again

Over at the Bunim-Murray casting webpage, there is somewhat of an official announcement saying that they are currently casting for the Fresh Meat 2 Challenge.

Fresh Meat 2 is being casted alongside Real World 19, which has yet to have announced its host city. The Fresh Meat concept came from the fact that there were not as many Road Rules castmembers available to do Challenges as there were Real World castmembers. So, in order to offset that, newbies were brought in to liven up the Challenges. The news of Fresh Meat 2 comes as a bit of a surprise, as there were expectations that Road Rules 14 would be reformatted and come back as a series. Since Fresh Meat 2 is being casted, MTV most likely decided against renewing Road Rules once again.

This new edition of Fresh Meat will be filmed after the 14th season of the Challenge (presumably The Inferno 3) which will begin filming this month in South Africa.
