In February 2008, Doritos and MTV invited fans across the country to submit their profile on Doritos' website snackstrongproductions.com for a chance to be cast on the new reality dating series. To support this program, MTV re-branded its web site www.nextornot.com to spicyandsweet.nextornot.com to be as an interactivecommunity for hopefuls to submit their profiles. Between February 25 and March 16, online viewers helped to determine the four 'spicy' girls and four 'sweet' guys to be cast in the show by the amount of time spent on their favorite profiles. The web site has garnered more than 19 million page views, with users averaging more than 30 minutes on the site for one visit.[citation needed] In 2007 Doritos aired two consumer-created commercials during Super Bowl XLI as part the 'Crash the Super Bowl challenge'.[3]
NextOrNot.com[edit]
MTV debuted NextOrNot.com, the online companion to the series, in October 2007. Inspired in equal part by ratings sites such as HotOrNot.com and online social networks like Facebook, Nextornot.com allows users to browse through a library of user profiles featuring prominent pictures and personal information. Time spent by site users looking at each profile is logged, and at the end of each day the user whose profile has received the highest cumulative viewing time appears on MTV as the 'Hottie of the Day.'
