The 16th season of Real World/Road Rules Challenge premieres tonight 10pm on MTV. And according to teasers, the contestants, 20 Real Worlders and Road Rulers are dropped off into shark-infested waters in Panama. Hot.
Cast members will face off in Cocas del Toro, yet in an unexpected turn of events, MTV is promising that this season will be different – no free-flowing alcohol at will, no cushy house, and no challenges “that call for sneaky alliances.”
Hmmm… sounds more like Survivor.
Well, at least crazy Tonya’s back. Maybe she’ll get eaten by a shark.
Same old crap… When bodies begin missing in the coastal town of Full Moon Bay, fisherman Daniel Wilder (John Schneider) discovers the culprit: a swarm of mutant Great White sharks, forty strong, cutting through the waters with one horrifying purpose—to kill. As tourist season quickly becomes feeding time, Daniel enlists the help of his wife Brook (Daryl Hannah) and marine biologist Amy to save the locals and bring some calm before swarm.
Airs this Sunday on Hallmark.

Bindi Irwin, Steve Irwin’s eight-year-old daughter, has vowed to copy her father and swim with stingrays. Brave Bindi even said she will film the same giant fish who killed her father when she presents her own wildlife TV show Jungle Girl, scheduled to air in January. It was thought Bindi’s show would be axed following his death but she wants to carry on her father’s work. Um, I have a bad feeling about this…
