– This promo has been floating around MTV for a few days but here’s a YouTube version. It starts out normal enough (typical male fantasy stuff) then gets all surreal and, dare I say, a bit disturbing. And the colors on those bathing suits… yikes. What is this, 1991? The girls all seem a bit mindless as well, but I guess the same argument could be made for the guys. Sex sells, yes?

– MTV.com also recently posted extra casting footage and a sneak preview titled “First Impressions” (see the left side of the MTV.com page), which looks to be the first 10 minutes or so of the premiere episode, in which the cast members leave their hometowns and meet up in Denver. Lots of sweeping camera shots and all that. Our fair city looks pretty good already, all sun and gleaming skyscrapers and historic brick buildings.

— Of course, the repeated shots of snowy mountains must have been filmed before the cast got here, as that stuff is usually melted by late May and June, when Bunim/Murray Productions actually started filming. It ends, of course, with Tyrie and Jenn entering the house. What a tease. Guess we’ll have to wait until Nov. 22nd to see the rest, even though we already have a pretty good idea of what the house looks like.

P.S. — my interview with Tyrie is scheduled for tomorrow so I’ll get that posted soon after it’s done.
