Hello, Fantasy Challenge starts today at MTV.com. Go and check it out. And they will be running marathons up the wazoo this weekend. SO check your local listings.

Also, OUTMagazine has reported that Aneesa (Chicago) and Rachel (Campus Crawl) are living together in New York. (Along with Rachel's girlfriend Amy, who appeared on the show.) Once the subject of a rumored relationship when they posted on the MTV message boards one night, it is now known that the two are just close friends.

And Puck (San Francisco) appeared on a radio show in Northern California talking about his new wife. Yes, it is the same one he met on the show and the same one that he got put in jail for beating. Supposedly, the two have a child together. And there was a small uproar from blog viewers about Puck's antics. Many stating that Puck is just a Real World ratings grabber. We'll see once again when Battle premieres.

And this news is a little late. But Danny (New Orleans) is hosting a video about gay first times. Here's the link. The video contains six critically acclaimed gay short stories.

And on a minor note. The website hit a quarter of a million visitors today! Thanks for making our blog the best RW/RR Blog! That's all for today.

Wanda comments on the new season of the Battle:

"Just that it really does sound insane, as I've been saying all along. I've talked to a few different castmates, and the Puck stuff was intense--between him getting married and then going ape-dung after the camera crew with the machete. Plus, the girls sound bitchier than ever. Hurrah!"

If you missed anything about the machete incident... Supposedly, after one of his favorite girls gets voted out from the girls side... Puck really goes ape-dung. AND then gets kicked off... Plus, people were asking me about the marriage... Wanda reports that it is Puck and his girlfriend. (The one he got put in jail for beating... I think it's the same one he met in the park at San Francisco too..)

Also, watch for the Surreal Life which premieres on the WB. It's basically a rip-off of Real World, but with has-been celebrities. It was even called the Surreal World until BMP sued for the change.

Happy New Years! 2003 is looking to be a great year! Start it out with the Battle of the Sexes. Finish out Las Vegas. Premiere South Seas and Paris in June... and it'll be a great year! Have a good rest of the day!

Last night, MTV aired a introduction special to the Battle of the Sexes. If you missed it, you missed some major Battle drama. Johnny Moseley, the host of the Battle hosted alongside Ruthie (Hawaii). Boy, oh BOY! For months, we've heard this is going to be DRAMA. And boy it is. Even Johnny is going to get in a fight with Jisela (The Quest), when he makes a bad call. They re-introduced each cast member, showing a memorable moment of them, then showing them in the Battle. If you missed it, here's a quick re-cap of the action: Eric (Campus Crawl) is disgusted at the actions of his fellow 30-year old cast members when David (Los Angeles) and Puck (San Francisco) get into a fight. Puck spits at David after a screaming match and David picks up the phone and demands that Puck be ousted. A very dramatic scene. Later on, we see the whole cast gathered around Puck, right after he begins crying, because the director just told him something. David is far off, alone. Speaking of Puck, we see him and Ellen (The Quest) fighting. And Puck telling Ellen that she's made a great mistake. This follows Ellen saying that "He's gonna kick my ass." It's even gone as far as Veronica (Semester At Sea) telling Puck to stop his berating of Ellen. David (New Orleans) and Ayanna (Semester at Sea) get together, with some "feelings" involved. Emily (USA - Tour I) and James (Maximum Velocity Tour)'s relationship is in full blast. However, a hint of drama when Laterrian (Maximum Velocity Tour), James' good friend, says that he never wants to see Emily again, after she's been on the last three Challenges. (This happens when Emily votes herself off, after James gets voted off.) We see James storming about his room and Laterrian becoming the fierce competitor. Dan (Miami) becomes disgusted at the competitiveness of the guys' team. We see Gladys (Latin America) having to sit a mission out because of her pregnancy. We see the marriage scene, but no hint about who gets married... (It's Puck and his girlfriend.) And probably the most dramatic scene that happens in the first few days... We know that Julie (New Orleans) is the first person to get voted off. Within the first three days, Melissa (New Orleans) seeks Julie out... Melissa tells her to keep her name out of her mouth (The same thing she said on her website.) And that Julie is a backstabbing a**hole, who for the past two years of her life has just talked behind her back.

It seems to be a great Battle. Emily puts it well, when she says that it's going to be the Jerry Springer of all the Challenges. They bring back probably the most dramatic characters from each season, and pit them together in this edition in the Battle. The first episode airs January 6th. Check your local listings. (Also, check your local listings for repeats of this episode!)

So you want to date a pseudo-celebrity? Now here's your chance... Remember the bosses on the Real World: Back to New York? The Arista guys?? Well, one of them has listed himself on JDate.com... The Jewish Dating Service... You can go to the site and look for the member NotoriousJEW27... That's him! Maybe you can try and get some Real World insider secrets from him.

And Elka who had been selling her Saturn SC-2 from the Battle of the Seasons failed to get one bid for her car. She listed it for $25,000... Maybe she might re-list it with a lower bidding price later on... And for cheaper Real World memorabilla... Julie and Kelley's (New Orleans) clock that they used in the Belfort is up for sale on E-bay right now! The asking price is $70.00.

That's all folks!
