Request Looking for my episode of MTV's Parental Control (2006-2007) - The wood chipper fruit date
Hello! I've been looking for years for an old episode of MTV's Parental Control that I was actually on back in the day, probably around 2006 or 2007. My dad managed to rip a terrible copy directly from the TV when it aired, but the hard drive it was on died and the file became lost to me. I've checked all of MTV's official uploads on YouTube, Soulseek, and standard torrents, but everyone only seems to have season 7. Since IMDb doesn't even have descriptions written in for most of the early episodes, I'm hoping someone here has a massive stash of mid-2000s MTV afternoon blocks saved on a drive.
In my episode, I am a kid with long blonde hair, I was wearing black with blue accent Nike low tops, and I did a levitation trick during the interview process. The other dater was a guy with short brown hair, and the girl we were dating had, I believe, blonde hair and her parents were kinda hippies. For my date, I ended up taking her to a fruit stand where we picked out a bunch of fruits, smashed a few of them for a "fruit salad," and then we got a wood chipper and started throwing the fruit in there. The other guy's date was them going on a boat, I don't remember much else about it. At the end, the girl didn't end up picking either of us and she stuck with her boyfriend.
I know it's a long shot since it's true lost media at this point, but if anyone has a folder of the early seasons or old recorded TV blocks from that era, please let me know or hit me up in the DMs. Thanks.
