MTVRock: Welcome Roni, Tara, Anne, Dan, Noah, and Jon to the MTV Arena on AOL.
Anne: hey guys what's up!!!!!
Jon: Welcome everyone to our good chat!
Noah: Hey...thanks for coming out...looking forward to chillin'.
Roni: Hi Anne!
MTVRock: Just a note...we're waiting on Dan and Tara....and they'll join us shortly...
Jon: Roni doesn't care about anybody but us...
Anne: Roni........
Jon: Roni, how was work?
Roni: I'm a little confused right now. I'm trying to figure this out.
MTVRock: This season's six (yup -- the ante's been upped) cast members will travel the U.S. and Canada ("The Northern Trail") in ye olde Winnie following clues and fulfilling missions. The team will gladly (mmm hmm) surrender all their money and credit cards before filming begins, forcing them to live by their wits and any cash they can make along the way, forever in pursuit of their "just reward" (and some good times).
We don't want to give too much away, but get set for a sizzling romance between two cast members, some caddying at the celebrity golf tournament in Seattle, weighing in with The World Wrestling Federation, and competing in extreme sports against former cast members of The Real World.
Here's a quick rundown on the new cast:
Roni: An 18-year-old dancer from Harlem, New York, fresh out of the LaGuardia School for the Performing Arts (a.k.a. the "Fame" school). Roni is a mix of innocence and street-bred maturity, and is very family-oriented.
Noah: Opinionated, direct, and at times brutally
Tara: With a down-to-earth demeanor that defies her UCLA-sorority-girl-from-the-valley easy to her, but relationships involving commitment do not.
Dan: A hunky 20-year-old from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dan is the All-American boy. He's a jock but he's sensitive, and he's been in a serious relationship for two years. But can it last? Dan isn't so sure.
Anne: Smart and sexy, 23-year-old Tempe, Arizona native Anne is an accounting major who's still a kid at heart. She's fun-loving despite the tragedy she's endured, not the least of which was a serious car accident for which she had to undergo reconstructive surgery.
Jon: An art student from Boston, Massachusetts, 19-year-old Jon is quirky, insightful, and oddball videos with his friends and eating sugar packets (paper and all).
Jon: Roni, I love you. I haven't told you that in a while, but I do!
Roni: How sweet.
MTVRock: And speaking of questions...Ariel, the first question please!
MTV Ariel: PHIER210 opens us up by asking: how did it feel when you found out that you were picked to be on the show?
Roni: You saw my reaction. It was exciting.
Jon: I'm gonna have to go with soapy cause I had soap all over my face.
Roni: That was the first time I knew I was on the show.
Anne: I totally didn't think I got it and went out with my friends the night before
Noah: I actually saw Jake and Kalle running up to my door from upstairs--so I wasn't exactly surprised.
Anne: and then they show up bright and early.....darn
Roni: They picked out the wrong Roni at first.
MTVRock: NIKECH1C9 asks about conditions in the Winnie: Ok, Hi guys... Was it difficult to get along together in the Winnie?
Jon: I was really unhappy with the clothes that I ended up wearing cause they rushed me out of the house so I was wearing K-Mart shorts and a shirt I bought for fifty cents in CA -- I looked pretty funny!
Roni: You got used to everyone. You got used to being in small quarters.
Noah: I guess it was pretty tight quarters--but I tried to stay out of everyone's way.
Anne: Hey NIKE......it got really gross...we had a couple of sewage problems.
Jon: Yes... at times it was a little bit tough being day in and day out with the same people.
Noah: Truth...it's tough to live that close to anyone for 11 weeks, 24-7.
Anne: But you totally get used to it....:)
Roni: I used to take long bike rides to get away from people.
MTV Ariel: Thestud15 asks the question on everyone's mind: Who's gonna be tha first to score?
Roni: Not me.
Anne: Not me thats for sure.
Jon: Um...I don't have anything to say about that I guess.
Anne: Daniel......xoxo
Jon: I never score and I'm darn proud of it.
Anne: You go Jon
Dan: Hi everyone.
MTVRock: KaylLaf asks: what was your favorite place that you visited?
Noah: I really dug Toronto--they dance all night.
Jon: Tough... I'm gonna have to say the wrestling ring.
Noah: Jon--you're a tough fat bastard.
Roni: We had the most fun in Toronto.
Anne: I really liked the horse stalls in Calgary they smelled great!!!
Jon: LOL
Anne: kidding......probably Montreal
Roni: What was the name of the place where we were in the mountains?
MTV Ariel: SweetS523 poses the ever important question: Who was the most annoying out of the group?
Jon: me
Anne: oh no......
Noah: Annoying...or aggravating?
Anne: hey noah
Noah: Cause I take aggravating.
Jon: what was that name...
Anne: Noah and I fight quite a bit....you'll see
Roni: Everyone took turns.
Jon: I think Noah was the most aggravating, I was the most annoying, and Anne was the most consistently damaged.
Anne: soooooooo true
Jon: She got beat up like you wouldn't believe. She got a sprained ankle...
Roni: true.
Noah: and a sprained heart.

Roni: Drive a car.
Anne: lol
Noah: Roni, aren't you better at that by now?
Roni: No.
Anne: go on top of a plane like the islands cast...
Roni: You don't need a car in NYC.
Jon: Anne, I love your laugh cause I can hear it just reading.
Noah: Anne--you'd sprain something, though.
Anne: She has the subway and cabs......she don't need no stinking car
Jon: Dan, would you really skydive naked? Isn't that too much like something Jake would do?
Dan: Jon, I'd go skydiving naked only if Jon would go with swimming trunks on.
MTV Ariel: JPasc1677 needs to know: So what did you guys think of Jake streaking naked past you guys at the raceway?
Noah: Small--very small.
Roni: Jake had a hairy ass.
Dan: I won't comment on the size
Anne: I could have gone my whole life without seeing that......

Anne: sooooo true
MTV Ariel: AL0HABuD1 ponders: Did any of you all get hurt on any of the missions??
Jon: LOL LOL LOL
Anne: lol...not me
Roni: Every mission, Anne.
Noah: Anne--a lot. I fell from 30 feet at Sean's little lumberjack thing.
Jon: Roni accidentally hit me in the face once. I had a black eye for the last week.
Noah: And, the Headbanger's kinda hurt me.
Roni: Jon, get over it.
Anne: sprained ankle, broken toes, food poisoning...etc etc.......it's a jungle
Dan: I think Jon would look best on a carshow turning stage selling superwax 2000.

Dan: in a bikini with a banner that says "I buff for no one!"
Anne: lol
Jon: Noone's gonna beat that response, Dan, that was great.

Jon: And Alice always cooked a tasty roast for our evening meal.
Roni: We bickered a little bit, but we got along overall.
Anne: overall we all love each other and totally stay in touch
Noah: We were like brothers and sisters--there was a lot of love, even when there was a lot of hate.
Jon: That's true. He's got a way with words, that Noah.

MTVRock: Ohshelly asks: It seems that four out of the six of you were paired up by the end of the first episode last night...Hadn't you learned ANYTHING from watching the previous casts?
Noah:Haven't you learned anything about editing?
Tara: It worked out really well, so I don't think there was a lesson to be learned

Dan: We had nothing to do with the pairings.
Anne: Noah and I don't get paired up if you know what I mean;)
MTVRock: Rsnzs5 asks: Did you ever feel like telling the camera guys to get out of your face?

Tara: Rarely, I really love the camera guys
Anne: yep....
Noah: I did once-- and then I got in theirs...nut I felt bad about it later.
Dan: Never. I didn't care.

Dan: Jon, you fat bastard.
Noah: I'll kill you!
MTVRock: Toadster9 asks: How will being away for 10 weeks change your lives?
Dan: Being in a different situation makes you learn things about yourself..
Tara: First you get fat and break out, and then you lose all sense of style
Dan: that you never knew before.
Noah: It gave me perspective on the endlessness of the world and myself....
Anne: you'll all be glad to know I'm more mellow and I'll eat everything (within reason:)
Jon: LOL Tara
Roni: You learn how to deal with different people, people you're not used to being around
Noah: it taught me to dream bigger than I had before.

Dan: Anne, how about cheesy potatoes?
Jon: cool people (giggle)
MTVRock: RES PEACE asks: Did you ever wish you could be on Real World rather than Road Rules?
Dan: Jon, quick sucking up...
Roni: Hell, no!

Tara: Absolutely not, on road rules you are always moving
Jon: I'd like to be on Real World and Road Rules and this new show, Catch Me If You Can
Roni: and you don't have fun, you just sit around looking at people you hate.
Dan: The missions were too tempting. Road Rules wins!

Anne: I love Buffy...im not ashamed
Dan: Or at least in the front of the Winnie, Anne.
Noah: LOL, Jon.
Anne: at least you have someone to die with
Dan: That's the best introduction that I've had.
Roni: It was too cold to think about meeting 5 people or jumping.
Jon: Extremely overstimulating. That's why I was so nutty at the time and jumped
Dan: No time to chat... let's go.
Tara: Scary and Jon kept saying we're going to die
Jon: and got the duck.
Noah: Jumping was so scary...I didn't care about meeting anyone to after. I figured I'd die.
