| MTV’s “Road Rules: Campus Crawl”
visited Appalachian State University two years ago. Cast members
participated in missions including the Polar Plunge at Duck
Pond and crossing a tight rope between Coltrane and Gardner
residence halls. |
Representatives from MTV arrived Wednesday and
will begin interviews today in the Grandfather Mountain Ballroom
located in Plemmons Student Union.
Interviews will last from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and continue throughout
Friday and Saturday in the Blue Ridge Ballroom
“The intent is to meet students and talk to them about ideas
for a storyline that will make it an interesting segment of their
special,” David L. Robertson, Director of Student Programs,
said Tuesday.
According to MTV’s press release, they are looking for “the
most interesting people, the most unique stories and the most bizarre
events of the year.”
“What they’ve told me is that it’s a two hour special
that will air on Oct. 18,” Robertson said. “It will feature
four schools’ homecoming festivities. Each school will have
a half hour of this special.”
“I’m not sure why they’ve selected Appalachian,”
Robertson said.
Two years ago, MTV filmed the first episode for the show Road Rules:
“Campus Crawl,” on campus.
The event involved cast members fetching the keys to their Winnebago
out of Duck Pond during Appalachian’s “Polar Plunge.”
After the interview process is complete, MTV will be reviewing the
interviews and returning a week before Homecoming to begin filming,
Robertson said.
Application forms are available online at on AppalNET and can be
