Battle Of The Networks Reality Stars
Another 15 Minutes

Just when you thought reality televisions stars (and I use that term lightly) couldn't stretch out their 15 minutes any longer, Bravo comes along and creates Battle of the Network Reality Stars. For those old enough to remember, it is supposed to be a new take on the old Battle of the Network stars from the 70's.
In this version, 32 reality stars will compete in challenges such as: relay races, a kayak race and of course the famed tug-of-war. As of yet we are not sure how the teams will be separated but the assumption was that they would be separated by networks. After looking over the list of some of the confirmed contestants, I am not sure how that is going to be possible. We do know there will be six teams with six members on each team. The show was filmed June 2nd thru June 11th at Pepperdine University. We also know each participant got $3000 just for showing up and the winning team won $60,000 to be separated between the six winning members.
So I bet you are wondering which of our favorite reality talent will be on board for this possible train wreck. Well, first off not only are the contestants former reality participants, so are the hosts. Trishelle from Real World Las Vegas, Omarosa from the Apprentice, and Bob Guiney from the Bachelorette and Bachelor will be the hosts. Contestants that are rumored to be on the show are as follows:
The Amazing Race's Chip & Kim and Charla & Myrna
American Idol's Nikki McKibbin and Ryan Starr
Americas Next Top Model's Brittany Brower
The Apprentice's Heidi Bressler and Bradford Cohen
Average Joe's Adam Mesh
The Bachelor's Tina "Fabulous" Panas
Big Brother's Will Kirby and Mike Boogie" Malin
Joe Millionaire's Evan Marriott
The Joe Schmo Show's Matt Kennedy Gould
Project Runway's Wendy Pepper
The Real World's Coral Smith and Mike 'The Mize " Mizanin
Road Rules' Theo Vonkurnatowski
Showbiz Moms & Dads' Duncan Nutter
Survivor's Richard Hatch and Susan Hawk
Temptation Island's Valerie Penso
The Swan's Rachel Love Frasier
The above mentioned people have either said that they are on the show or were mysteriously out of town during the time the show was being shot. Other people rumored to be on the show include:
The Amazing Race' Jonathan Baker and Victoria Fuller
Survivor's Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca
Real World Chicago's Tonya Cooley
Big Brother 5's Will
I am not quite sure about how this show will go but you can bet I will be watching. I would love to see Coral and Sue go at it and can you imagine Will Kirby and Richard Hatch in the same room. I am hoping this is going to be really cool and not just some super cheesy reality knock off. I will be keeping my ear to the ground to see if I can get everyone a definite list. The show will premiere August 17th at 9 PM on the Bravo network.
