A Look Back at Mission: Man Band

by Heather Scoville

sureshot.jpgWell, the season has come to a close and Sureshot is looking for a record deal. I thought it might be a good time to take a trip down memory lane and revisit Watching VH1’s coverage of Mission: Man Band.

Long before the season started, I was able to make a post announcing the show. Were you ready for the Man Band? I know I sure was! In fact, I was able to find a video blog of Chris giving a tour of the Man Band Mansion and I was surprised to learn the show would take on a serious tone. From all I know about these guys, being a boy band fan, I just knew they were fun loving guys with a crazy sense of humor.

I then got word that I got to do phone interviews with the guys from the band and squealed about it for awhile. The interviews kept getting postponed, but their publicist sent lots of Man Band info for me to share. The exclusive interviews with Chris Kirkpatrick, Jeff Timmons, and Rich Cronin were a great experience that I was happy to share with other fans. After talking with Rich on the phone, I really wanted to help out his foundation, so I signed up to walk 100 miles and collect pledges (which I am still taking, by the way, if you can donate). I never did get a chance to talk with Bryan Abrams, but maybe if they get their record deal, I can track him down then!

sureshotvid.jpgI was relieved to find out that the guys weren’t always so serious. Their crazy video to “Work That Out” proved it, and I posted the entire video for everyone to see that, too. I, of course, wrote recaps of all the shows for RealityShack, as well.

All-in-all, it’s been a great season. I, for one, am keeping my fingers crossed for season 2! How about you? Leave your comments below.
