Found this on Tontine Nation. This person says that Tontine is not going to happen as the show's producers refused to agree to the terms of any network.

What Scarabnut says about Tontine according to GMM

"The producers could not find a network, therefore the show is not going to happen. Now, one would think that the casting director or host or anyone who had anything to do with the show would have told the past contestants...but no...they are too afraid to as they have signed "nondisclosure agreements" blah, blah, blah so therefore they try to talk their way out of it by stating "NO comment" - there might be a probability that the show will happen sometime next year...but no one knows for sure. Right now, it's a disaster."

"The videos date back to January when Tontine almost thought they had a network. They were very close and they had 25 contestants, but decided to only work with 14. However, 25 were sent forward. After MANY tiring days and failing attempts, the producers COULD NOT agree to any terms ANY network set forth. They were quite stubborn in ths endeavor. Tad was instructed not to say anything, but to move on with other work. However, he DID respond to your comment via myspace which he probably shouldn't have. He still has a contract with Tontine...so now, they want to blame the producers...well, it's not ALL the producers fault....the host and casting director played a HUGE part in this but they are too afraid to say anything due to the nondisclosure agreements...I did NOT sign one so I can talk to everyone regarding what happened."
