As this post drops on the last full night of summer (September 21st), before you know it we Americans will again feel like kids getting to enjoy the sights of snowflakes falling, dusting off the snowboards we've kept in storage since spring, and having to put up with packed malls and airports. And also for some, to cross those fingers that there will be a "White Christmas" on December 25th, all smack dab in the coldest season of all.
Last year, DCBLOG featured the times where two MTV alums, Real World/Challenge alum Trey Weatherholtz and Are You The One? original Ryan Malaty, appeared on CBS' two daytime game shows, The Price is Right and Let's Make A Deal. For some of you who get to wake up a little later during the warm months and having nothing much to do while the parents are at work and have no worries about school, probably you've surfed onto some daytime fun watching contestants win cash & prizes. It's likely you probably have someone you know from work or school or even a family member go onto national TV and try their luck on these game shows.
This summer during the offseason in broadcast land, another alum who appeared on a MTV reality series got to try her luck on the latest incarnation of Monty Hall's wacky game show... and in a special episode that got to celebrate Christmas in July. For this story and its roots, we gotta rewind back to the penultimate day of the 2000's, and the same month that saw the debut of two MTV shows that, by the luck of fate, is still on its schedule 9 years later in Teen Mom and Jersey Shore.
