All you Road Rules fans: Shane (Campus Crawl) put out a website that is not completely done yet. It's called shanelandrum.com. Nothing much yet but a bunch of pictures.

Rachel of San Francisco went on the View today as a co-host for reality TV day. She showed pictures of Sean and her two children Evita and Xavier. Is this a sign of things to come? Rachel competed for the spot left open when Debbie Matenopolois stepped down. The spot eventually went to Lisa Ling. (Lindsay (Seattle) also auditioned, but was deemed too young to fill in.) Rachel was part of the final three, but was not picked. Lisa Ling just left the View to pursue other opportunities. Is Rachel coming back??? They've been having a lot of guest hosts recently and they deemed her as one as well. I dunno. Maybe it was an audition...
HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY TO PAUL AND DANNY OF THE REAL WORLD NEW ORLEANS!

Visit the site, Danny and Paul!

Hello! The Real World: Las Vegas had their vacation episode last night. (Does anyone watch Real World anymore? With all this Battle of the Sexes stuff going on... Who can keep up??) So, Trishelle and Steven hit some sort of emotional low in their relationship. (Yes, it could get lower than what it was at.) Honestly, I can't believe that they didn't get the idea that they were on national television, doing those things, probably knowing they'd be criticized. Speaking of criticism, here's an article at EW.com... Right here. They do one every week on each episode. Good reviewer.

Also, we're getting news in about a guy who was chosen for The Real World: Paris. More information will come later this week, but we do know that he's from Statesboro, GA.

Blogger is being such a bastard... I keep trying to update the template and it hasn't been working for the past two days. So, I can't really upload that picture that's supposed to be up there. Bastards. Just venting my frustrations and letting everyone know.

Tuesday, January 14, 2003

Melissa, Lori, and Colin all have their synopsis up from last night's episode! Read on!

(I had this longer post posted but stupid Blogger keeps deleting it.)

Monday, January 13, 2003

Battle of the Sexes airs a new episode today. Interesting tidbit. You can keep up with Mike's wrestling career at his website. Rather than looking like The Real World, it looks like he's doing an episode of Tough Enough. Check it out at Mike's site.
Hello! Good day! New info for today. The Real World: Las Vegas was nominated for a People's Choice Award last night. Unfortunately, they lost (once again) to the cast of Survivor: Thailand. Fear Factor was also up for the award.

Melissa is back with her site after a long absence. She makes her first post about Julie... And even mentions our website in there, go check it out at Princess Melissa.

That's it for today.

Sunday, January 12, 2003

Just to all those people who emailed me about this: Julie has offended many with her latest post. Yes, I've noticed it and there has been an overwhelming response about Julie's post. No, it has nothing to do with Melissa's commentary. But with her casual generalizations of Hispanics. If you look at her journal, she makes some pretty discouraging comments at her journal when her favorite radio station is replaced with "Mexican music" sung by "Senor Lopez"...

If you want to see Melissa's new site design, its located here. The links don't work. Its simply her new design. Plus, a new addition to our list of links, is Pawel's site.

Julie posts what hopefully is the last rebuttal of this mess at her journal.

Friday, January 10, 2003

Here's YOUR responses about the Melissa/Julie confronation. Unless any other new news has been posted by cast members (Lori added a small something on her website 1/9/2003), let us never, ever speak of this horrible incident again. (And please don't send us hate mail if we do... It's almost 100% likely that there will be follow up to this. :))

"My take on Julie, she seems so nice and i'm convinced she probably is, but to me when her and Melissa were arguing the look on her face looked as though Melissa was right, Julie looked flat out scuuured " Did I do anything to offend you yet..." " Are you finished? 'cause i was going to go down to the pool with Dan..." she was SCUUURED. And when Julie was talking about how she only has 3 days to prove to everyone that she isn't who they think they are...why is she so worried about that, if she had nothing to hide, why prove anything you know? She is a backstabber, didn't she learn anything in the Great Book Of Mormon? I dunno, but to me, i think the majority of these people who are chosen for the shows take their opportunity they've been given for granted, they bitch and moan, and cry when they don't get their way, geez man just be happy you got picked for the show, i liked it when Amaya said on BOTS " We are blessed that we've all been given this opportunity to win some money" and she is right, they have been blessed, so don't take it for granted. And Colin's ONLY famous words " As far as i'm concerned, we are the most luckiest 7 people on this planet right now, we have been given the gretest opportunity" RW HAWAII ok anyway, i hope we all get to see what will prevail with this whole Julie Melissa thing, and hope they get to be freinds again."

"Granted, Julie probably shouldn't have said anything if she wasn't for certain, but how can we take what any of these Real Worlders are saying about Julie as the truth. In Lori's commentary on the situation she blatantly says she's not 100% clear on the facts, but yet she talks about what occurred between Julie and Coral and other cast members. She even admits that she doesn't know Julie, and doesn't want to get to know her, because of Coral's and Melissa's dealings with her. So to say that Julie is disliked by Real Worlders is over blown, because they are basically going on information that happened between the two drama queens, and not even taking the time to listen to Julie's side. Which is totally understandable, because if Coral and Julie are your friends, you want to believe and support them. But if Julie did not do anything to you personally, I would not write or talk about a situation that I was not a part of. It just seems to me that this fight between Melissa and Julie is about money. Melissa and Coral felt they were robbed of money, and they told their friends about the situation in a dramatic fashion, because from watching their shows you know it only takes a little to get them to blow up. It's a fight that probably happens everyday with people in or out of the business, but this one was just played out on national TV."

"When I first saw the 1st epidode of the Battle of the Sexes, I hadn't heard anything about what had happened to Julie and Melissa after the show or anything, so I was pretty much under the impression that they were still good friends. When I saw their fight, I was really shocked to hear about what had happened between them, and I was sad too, cause they were such good friends on the show. When Julie was kick out the 1st episode, I was kinda shocked, cause I thought Melissa would look past her anger, and vote out someone at the bottom. When Melissa called her a B****, I really was like "What the heck happened after the show between them?" Then I read on this website something that Danny from New Orleans said about the situation, and based on what he said, I really don't know what to think. I was always in support of Julie, but after reading about how she supposedly wrote letters to colleges that dissed other Real World cast members, I can more understand what Melissa must have been feeling, and why she did what she did. If I were in Melissa's position, and what Julie did was true, I would be pissed off too, and I would try and get rid of her as soon as I could. At this moment, I think I am in support of Melissa, cause If more than one person is speaking about this, than there has to be some kind of truth to it.
I still kinda like Julie, just because she's one of my favorie cast members of all time on Real World, and it's hard to just stop liking her because I don't know the entire story, and also because I really just can't put myself in Melissa's shoes."

"Personally, I think Melissa had every right to want Julie gone, personal or not personal. Not only has Julie belittled Melissa in the past, but she acted innocent and blatantly lied to Melissa on the challenge. She practically spit in Melissa's face by claiming she didn't know what Melissa was talking about. I think Julie is personally a manipulator! I totally agree with you, no one from the Real World said 'Oh I don't think what Melissa did was right' it was Ellen and Christina mainly who had the problem. Personally, I find Julie to be very deceitful as well!!! She lies, along with contradicting herself constantly. And then she made it like she did the best in the challenge, when she didn't do that well. She wouldn't have been have been an asset to the team, because no one trusted her, and half the female didn't like her. If that's an asset then may lightning strike me now!"

"I personally have no reason to doubt Julie's integrity, and I believe her over Melissa. Julie had tons of college lectures, at one time her tour list was basically every day of every month for about 6 months straight. There's bound to be jealousy there. I personally know that Julie used to have a different booking agent - she worked with World Wide Talent Group BEFORE she had her mom do it (I know this because I won an item off her website, and in the phone call she gave me, I asked how I would go about getting her to come speak at my school, and she gave me that web address. The date of the call was January 9, 2001, which was also the premiere date of the Extreme Challenge.) Obviously, when she figured out her mom could do it without getting paid as much, it was a smart business move. Cooincidentally, Melissa now works with WWTG. When an agent has handled two cast members, it's very likely that, whether by accident or on purpose, the agent probably said something like "Melissa wants more then you can spend, but I know of someone else who can do it." Just because Julie was no longer working with them doesn't mean that her old agent wasn't still her friend. It all boils down to satisfying the client. If they want someone who signs autographs, and they want to spend less money, the agent is gonna try to fill their needs with the right cast member. Now, it's a proven fact that Julie was involved with the thing between Kelley and Melissa, and that was wrong of Julie, and it may have just caught up with her. I think that Melissa probably heard that Julie had called, when in reality it was one of the agents, and that Melissa jumped to conclusions and began rallying people against Julie. All of the cast members which have come forward are personal friends of either Melissa, or friends of Melissa's friends. Coral and Lori are both friends of Melissa, Mike is a friend of Coral and Lori. Colin says "allegedly" which shows that he doesn't know for himself. Danny probably said something as a result of the Kelley deal. That "person" that you know that knows the cast members is Danny's friend who runs his website (Editors Note: This is not true... JHune says that he takes the quote of my website. The author of this message also did retract the statement.). My quesiton is: if there IS hardcore proof against Julie, where is it? Why doesn't someone just publish the shit and get it over with? Melissa is known to get jealous, and even if she felt genuinely wronged, she looks like an asshole. That whole comment that Julie made in her rebuttal about "Sweetie, I already knew" makes perfect sense. It's obvious that they'd had words before this, and even Melissa's comment about "Julie missed her flight, and I would've told her beforehand" is stupid. Melissa didn't need to say anything, period, even though it did make for informing the public. I just think it's stupid. I posted on one of the message boards how even if people hated Julie before this challenge, they must admit that it is really sad to see a friendship get destroyed over money, and countless people replied agreeing, saying they thought Julie was annoying but they understood. In answering your question regarding the Playboy deal, if Julie did in fact "set Melissa up" it was probably out of anger. Now I know they both have anger, but I mean like anger "in the moment". And Julie posted in her journal because she didn't know she was gonna get to post at MTV.com . She wanted her two cents in, and if someone attacked my character I would reply too. Bottom line - I think that this is really the saddest, most stupid thing I've ever heard of coming between friends. Money is not that important - and they both make plenty by doing the things that they do. They both have TV shows, they both have websites, they both get college lectures. Melissa deliberately tried to start a fight in Jamaica, she even admitted it by saying that Julie said "Hi, Melissa" but that it was "fake" and that "set her off." I think Melissa needs to get over it and move on. I really hope this ends good. I wish they'd make up, but I know that probably won't happen."


Thanks guys for all your responses!
Incredibly amazing stuff. We sit here with jaws wide open when we hear about this stuff. Since the New Orleans show, only Danny and Melissa have come out with what they think of Julie. Add to the list Kelley and possibly Jamie... Kelley writes the following about Julie: (This just leaves out Matt and David)

"And with Melissa, things got so much better, It was really because of last year's book (the BTNY book) that we finally got it out in the open. We realized that there was something big between us: Julie. Melissa called me and read me things we'd said about each other. It was all, "Julie told me this" and "Julie told me that." We got Julie on the phone. She told us that she was just trying to help us get along. What? You tell one person the other person thinks crappy things about her? That's a helpful thing? I didn't believe her. Melissa, Jamie, and I are good friends now, and we could have been then. But there were too many lies flying around."


You can find this on the Danny and Paul website. We are going to post the emails later today.

Thursday, January 09, 2003

Im getting some great responses about the Julie/Melissa confrontation. Keep sending them to newrwroad@hotmail.com. Even Danny comments about the Julie situation on his website Danny and Paul. (Scroll down after the long quote taken from our website.) To someone who knew BOTH castmembers before hand, it looks like Julie is still looking bad. I'm getting amazing responses by the way, keep them coming. I'll post them tomorrow and HOPEFULLY this will be the end of this mess.
Here's the first email that we are posting about the Julie/Melissa incident. Send in ur emails to newrwroad@hotmail.com and we'll post Pro-Melissa, Pro-Julie emails from both sides. We'd really like to hear your opinions on this.

"Jeez, what a war it HAS become.

Just wanted to write and say what I think about the whole thing. I am a HUGE RW/RR fan, and I have been following it since the first seasons. Though it is starting get ridiculously dumb, I still follow it, cause it is such a good dose of drama - haha.

This whole Julie and Melissa war is starting to get old, but I do have some opinions on it. I think MTV totally blew the whole thing out of proportion with its editing. I am 110% behind Melissa, because Julie has always seemed shady in my eyes too - through watching her on the RW, and even seeing her on other types of shows (interviews, college circuit stuff, etc…) I think that MTV made Melissa come off as a real asshole, when in reality she was just hurt, and wanted to tell Julie how she felt. She blew up the way she did because Julie came off looking like she had no idea what the hell she was talking about, when two seconds later she was talking about WHY Melissa was flipping out on her. Julie completely contradicts herself throughout EVERY single entire interview she makes.

I don't see how any person could see Julie as the good guy. If you look at Colin's, Lori's, and everyone else's comments about this whole thing, you see that Julie did/still does have ulterior motives, and that is just plain wrong. She hurt Melissa, along with a lot of other cast mates. I see where Melissa is coming from, because she thought Julie was a friend, as you could see from how close they were in NO.

And with the whole thing about Melissa turning everyone against Julie? That's poo. When Melissa confronted Julie, no one was in the room … except maybe Ayanna, and OBVIOUSLY, Ayanna knew the shit was gonna hit the fan, cause she ran like a bat outta hell. Ayanna and Julie were somewhat tight, so obviously, Julie informed Ayanna that people didn't like her, and things were going to be said to her. That is the way I see it - who knows if that is what really happened. Anyway … why would Melissa want to turn the whole damn cast against Julie? That is 3rd grade material. If you go on MTV.com and see the video that shows exclusive footage of the inner circle, you see that it is 2 minutes of them talking about why Julie shouldn't be on. Melissa said nothing. Genesis was the one saying why she should be voted off. Then you see the actual footage of the inner circle on the show, and that is another 2 minutes of deciding. Melissa only said, she personally wanted to see Julie voted off, and that was IT! According to everyone in the inner circle, it only took 5 minutes to decide. If you see the footage, Melissa really only said her piece about Julie in 30 seconds. Amaya, Aneesa, and Genesis made the decision after that. Melissa is too smart to go and pit everyone against Julie. She told Julie her piece and said what she had to say. Melissa can stick up for herself, she doesn't need everyone else support to know she hates Julie.

Anyway … I think I have said enough about this shenanigans. It is getting quite old, and I am sure everyone is sick of it by now, but that is my two cents. Look at the facts, Julie is a shady chick and Melissa just spoke her mind. That's all there is to it."

Julie posts her rebuttal to Melissa at MTV.com. Scary...

Here's some excerpts from the interview we had with Julie:

Q: You seemed like you were so on key during your season of Real World, and it seemed like you got along with everybody (well except David, sometimes), what happened between you and Melissa, you guys seemed like you were going to be friends for life. Is everything alright now between you two?

A: I DON'T TALK TO MANY RW KIDS NOW BECAUSE WE ALL LIVE FAR FROM ONE ANOTHER AND HAVE OUR OWN LIVES. PLUS THE REAL WORLD WAS LONG AGO.

Q: Why did you turn down the Playboy deal?

A: YOU COULDN'T GET ME TO DO PLAYBOY FOR ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. THE MAGAZINE DOESN'T COINSIDE
WITH MY VALUE SYSTEM AND I THINK IT DEGRADES WOMEN TO JACK-OFF OBJECTS. INCIDENTALLY - THEY OFFERED OVER 50 G'S.

Q: Do you know who accepted it? or who else declined it?

A: I THINK MELISSA GOT OFFERED, SO SHE MIGHT DO IT. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE.


You make the call. It seems very suspcious with what Julie told us in the interview. Why would she lie about Playboy and deliberately set up Melissa like that? (Keep in mind, this is after Julie was booted from the Battle.) And the whole Real World alumni thing is really true. Lori comments about it on her website. How others (Not Melissa) avoid Julie and whatnot. Not that alumni live far apart. (She lives in Hungington Beach, a suburb of LA, which contains like 40 or 50 RW/RR castmembers)

Plus, read Julie's journal entries. They're kinda weird when she talks about the Battle. She says that she doesn't trash talk Melissa and doesn't care about the money. But at the end of the entry she tries to belittle her and makes comments about how good it was to be kicked off the Battle because she made more money playing with her band.

We want to hear your opinions, thoughts on this matter. This is big. There hasnt been a brew-ha-ha this big since Stephen slapped Irene. Email us at newrwroad@hotmail.com and tell us what you think! We are going to be posting messages! Thanks!

Catch this article by MSN stating that this incident (among others) signifies a renaissance of reality TV.

DRAMA!

So many people have been asking about the Julie/Melissa thing. So many people want to know! Well, read Melissa's commentary over at MTV.com. She even mentions our website. Julie conducted an interview with us a couple of weeks ago and she told us that she was offered to do Playboy. When asked if anyone else is doing it, she commented that Melissa was offered and might do it. Well, we do have an inside source here close to cast members... Here's the brew-ha-ha:

"Here is what happened between Julie and Melissa. Melissa was 100% in the right to confront Julie and tell her off. Julie has been screwing Real World cast members for years now. She has even been caught writing emails degrading other cast members, so she gets the appearances before the others. Some universities have even forwarded emails they received from Julie on why they should book her over Melissa as well as other cast members. She would usually just tell lies to steal the appearances from other cast members. As well, the school they were arguing about in the episode happened like this.

The school called Julie first directly and asked her to speak. Julie wanted a higher fee then what RW cast members usually get. When Julie heard they were also trying to book Melissa and that Melissa charges the accurate fee, Julie started talking shit on her to the school and even put it in writing, saying Melissa was not a good speaker, curses frequently in her appearances and will not sign autographs and is all in all rude. Now this could not be further from the truth. Melissa as well and most cast members do triple the amount of appearances then Julie does, and Julie has such a bad reputation at the colleges that her speaking days are limited. Julie has also been know to charge I believe 10 dollars for an autograph picture of herself and up to $100 dollars for a simple interview with her. And this has been documented!!

The fact that Melissa said something to Julie was just because; Melissa is the only one with a pair of balls to expose Julie. She has screwed so many people at this point, if she stayed on the Challenge others would have come forward to chat with her. Other cast members even decided to not participate in the Challenge because Julie was doing it. It you really watch last nights episode, the only people who really protect Julie are people who don't know her, which were Road Rules cast members. As well, the fact that Julie just sat there with that dumb look on her face is because she knew it was coming and Melissa was just the first to do so. In reality the "Inner Circle" took not even 5 minutes to vote Julie off, but they didn't show that.

Also I'd like to point out that Melissa was working with her booking agent the second she got off the show. While she was minding her own business Julie was immediately off filming The Extreme Challenge, hence not working on the college lecture circuit. This idea that Julie "helped" Melissa out, and that Melissa made thousands of dollars with her help is an outright lie. Melissa did maybe two jobs with Julie, discovered there was something dishonest going on with her money and never worked directly with Julie as her "friend" again. Melissa was one of the first cast members from New Orleans to do the college lecture circuit, and does so with professionalism and integrity. Her anger is a direct response to being lied to, lied about and misrepresented.

Julie's booking agent is her own mother. That explains why she claims her agent "works so hard for her." They make the money together!"


This is what Lori said about the situation on her website:

"All of a sudden, I’m surrounded by faces I’ve only seen on TV in the years of watching the show, and I have to tell you, it was strange and exciting. I gave everyone a hug (like a true fan – feeling like I already know them), and walked around confused and weirded out. I saw Tonya who was so excited to see me because we had talked a bit when we were both in NYC a few weeks before. The TV doesn’t lie, that girl’s body is just ridiculous. Luckily, I knew Melissa already, but people were telling me that I fight between her and Julie had already occurred. “Before we got here??” I asked.

Apparently so. I knew that was going to happen. Melissa and I had already discussed it on the phone. Julie’s fan club didn’t so much exist in Jamaica. It’s the truth. There were very few who liked her, very few who trusted her, and everyone had either had a previous bad experience or had been forewarned about her, and NOT by Melissa. Julie’s sketchiness is well known in the world of BMP types, and this was the first I met her. I’m not good at hating people I don’t know personally. I’m not good at being mean to someone when I haven’t witnessed something fucked up first hand. And if Julie is truly as bad as everyone swears, then the girl is DAMN good at what she does because she comes of really genuine and really sweet to me. Melissa said, “You can’t see through that bullshit?” I reminded her that she didn’t see through it in the year she was friends with her during New Orleans. She agreed. I’ve never known a true liar and manipulator. A good one has you constantly buying their shit (just like the best players seem like the sweetest guys and not creepy at all). Well, I bought her shit, and I know I trust easily and give people the benefit of the doubt – so I just steered clear of her to avoid having to be on one side of the situation or another."


Plus, Colin (Hawaii) has his own website, Colin's World!

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!

Tuesday, December 31, 2002

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!)
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!)

That's all folks!
Zap2it.com reports on the new season of the Battle of the Sexes. They give insight on some missions for the challenge. Their names include "Dead Man's Drop," "Breath Hold Bungee," "Ice Ice Booty" and the "People Mover". Plus, they also mention a spit-fight between David (Los Angeles) and Puck (San Francisco). They also say that we will see the cat fight between Julie and Melissa (New Orleans erupt. There's really no word to over what the two girls are fueding over, but the fight spilled onto their websites shortly before filming. Melissa, aligning herself with friends such as Amaya (Hawaii) and Lori (Back to New York) is successful in voting Julie off the Battle first.
New news folks! According to some sources, Steve and Trishelle will be in Sayerville, NJ hosting a New Year's Party at the club Abyss tomorrow. If you can make it out there, snap some photos for us!

In new news, casting on the Road Rules: South Seas and Real World: Paris seasons, the twelfth seasons of the shows is over! The casts have been chosen and filming in set to start within the next two months.

Short news update today... Lori from the Real World Back to New York is selling her laptop that she got from Arista and the scooter she got from the Hamptons. You can buy them at Everythinglori.com!
That's it

Monday, December 02, 2002

OK, about the 11/18... I must've got hundreds of posts threatening to cut my head off. Here's the story. Arissa is living in Las Vegas. She is the one who would stay up hours gambling and such. She was also the one who was seen at Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday party smuggling up to him. Here is where we messed up: Arissa was asked about Irulan's relationship wtih Gabe. Arissa then said "They are not together."... Then they asked if it had anything to do with Alton she offered no comment followed by "I guess you can figure out what that means." Sorry to get everyone confused on that one!

And an update about Cara. She is now on the college lecture circuit talking about depression and her own bout with it. She says that she still takes antidepressant pills and she also comments on the Real World. She says that she'd do it again, but the fact that MTV edited it like they did annoys her. The fact that they only included fights or sex in the episodes shows that it wasn't really everything that went on in the house. She also commented on the fact how producers don't allow tv or music, which eventually leads to fights.

And according to E!Online, there are two definite cast members picked for either Real World Paris or Road Rules South Seas. Supposedly, casting is whittling down and E! claims to know two defnite finalists. Fatima is from Cardiff, England who manages a coffee shop and Soraya is from North Platte, Nebraska and works as a cocktail waitress in a bar called Skinny's. Most likely, if this information turns out to be true, Fatima will most likely end up on The Real World. Producers went overseas looking for castmembers, just like they did in the London season when Sharon, Jacinda, Lars and Niel were cast opposite Jay, Mike and Kat. But producers may opt to the very same thing like the Europe season of Road Rules where they cast Belou, Patrice, and Antoine opposite Michelle and Chris. Who knows? The fun part is in the guessing!

That's it. Thanks for reading

Sunday, December 01, 2002

Sorry about not updating within the past few days. A lot going on in a little amount of time. We realize that the website has suffered a lot because of the lack of updates. But we will try to begin updating more frequently now. With the last update, the information was about Irulan and not Arissa. Plus, look for the upcoming Real World/Road Rules Fast Enuff Challenge. Thirteen recently chosen cast members race to the finish line to become one of five finalists. The five finalists will then face off against Coral (Back to New York), Darrell (Campus Crawl), Mike (Back to New York), Rachel (Campus Crawl) and Shane (Campus Crawl). The winner will then have the opportunity to race against a professional race car driver. The Challenge airs December 7th. Check MTV.com for your local airtimes.

MORE TO COME SOON!

Monday, November 18, 2002

Sorry for the lack of updates, Blogger has been slow the past few days.

Anyway, news on Arissa from Las Vegas? Remember reports of her gambing problems surfaced back when the season was about to premiere. Well, according to Arissa herself, she did not go to Gamblers Anonymous. She did have a taste for it though. She reports that she would spend 12-hour periods in the wee hours of the morning, gambling her life away. Also, when asked whether she was still with Gabe she offered no comment. When asked about Alton, she also said no comment, followed by "I guess you can figure out what that means." She also reported to us that she is now living in Las Vegas, while the six other cast members are living in Los Angeles.

That's it for today.

Hello, Hello! More alumni news!

Ever wonder what's going on with your Seattle crew? Well, Nathan has been recently spotted in a Ross commercial. Since the end of his Real World days and VMI, he's gotten the acting bug. Also, Janet is still on Channel One, the educational news program that Lisa Ling from ABCs the View appeared on. Maybe Janet will become the next Diane Sawyer?

And according to Melissa... she was not offered to pose for Playboy. We recently conducted an interview with Julie from her cast, who said that Melissa was offered and she might've have done it. Melissa commented that, "I am not posing for Playboy nor was I offered to and I wouldn't if I had been. I'll be keeping my tatas to myself :). I have zero idea why Julie would make that up."

That's it for tonight!

In more Lori news... Remember when Lori said something about doing a Yoga video, which made her body hurt at her website? Well, if you were looking for the video, this is it. It's called MTV Yoga and it is slated to be released November 26th (Just in time for Thanksgiving Sales)! It is hosted by Lori but is guided by a Yoga instructor named Kristin McGee.
This review was taken off off AMAZON:
Host Lori Trespicio is from The Real World. Instructor Kristin McGee is also referred to as "choreographer." The setting is a New York hotspot, and a cool DJ supplies the music. These are not promising signs if you're seriously into yoga, but MTV Yoga is surprisingly good. Advertised as a "faster-paced, upbeat" alternative to standard yoga workouts, the practice is actually quite traditional, based on the "vinyasa" (i.e., flowing series of poses) style. Beginning with several sun salutations, which are among the most vigorous sets of poses in yoga, it includes a variety of standing positions, lunges, twists, backbends, and so on. McGee knows her stuff, especially when it comes to breath instruction, the focus of any good practice; she also breaks down several of the more difficult asanas following the main 40-minute practice. The only real flaw is that not nearly enough time is allotted for warmup, but experienced yogis could do far worse than MTV Yoga.

Buy your copy today!
Ever wonder about former Real Worlders and what they're doing? Well, one of the most elusive Real Worlders seems to be doing quite well for herself. Jacinda, the beautiful Australian model on the London season, recently finished production on The Human Stain, which stars Oscar-nominated/winners Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, and Gary Sinise. Jacinda who distances herself from reunions, challenges, and other reality television appearances, plays a young mistress to Anthony Hopkins, who in turn is battling a raging controversy, because he has been a black man posing as a white man. The film is set to be released in early 2003.

Plus, if you have moments or quotes from the Las Vegas season... SEND THEM OVER to newrwroad@hotmail.com. It'll be greatly appreciated!
So, Lori from Real World: Back To New York got a new design, and she's got a new header too. And yes... She is dating Kyle from the Chicago season... But that's old news... (Yawn!) Check out her site at EverythingLori.com!

In Battle of the Sexes news, Lori did add a little commentary on the upcoming Battle. The following is taken from her site:
"Battle of the Sexes" is the Challenge of summer '02. It is scheduled to air January 2003. I'm really looking forward to this one, mostly because I'm not terrified of what the world will see. I think it will be fun-loving. Less action/adventure, more focus on group relations. I stayed out of trouble, which gave me peace of mind. Peace of mind = no air time, so you may not see me. I think what we see on this show will be as new to me as it is to you. I know a lot of shit went down when I was reading Prince of Tides and hanging in the girls villa with Anne and Ruthie (confirmation that Anne and Ruthie will be on the Challenge this year). I'm curious to see, and I'm so excited. Should be fun."
Check it out here. I think we're in for a good season of the Challenge this year.

And for those of you asking about Melissa's (New Orleans) beloved Princess Melissa, it will be back. Melissa recently took up a 9-5 type of job... something she hasn't done since the days before New Orleans. So, she probably doesn't have as much time to post daily on her website. But look for it to reopen January 2003 (she'll probably complement it towards the Challenge.) where we can catch more of Melissa's crazy antics.

Sunday, November 10, 2002

Julie from Real World: New Orleans has said that on her website she will be filming an episode on the Blind Date today. She also said that her boyfriend, Gabe, doesn't mind "since I'm getting paid and all. It'll be cool." So she's going on a date with someone she doesn't even know, possibly meeting someone that she likes!? and what happens then? Buh-Bye Gabe? Or Move-over Blind Date! We'll see.

I also wanted to share this picture of Arissa from Real World: Las Vegas that has been popping up in my e-mail box: Click here to view it. That's all I have for now. Send news to me at newrwroad@hotmail.com.

Well we've got a story from Candace in Baltimore, MD saying that Alton, Trishelle, Brynn, and Steven were on 98 Rock in Baltimore, MD, www.98online.com. They were in the studio for the morning show. Alton was asked if future episodes will show something more with Irulan. He said there would be more down the line and that they are currently living together. The cast all live very close together (Brynn lives on the beach)...but they live in L.A. and are all very close. They will be at Jillians in Columbia, MD tonigh but they will be hanging out doing Karaoke. Also, I'd like to thank Danielle T., Keep up the good work!

RWRRB EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
We recently performed an e-mail interview with Julie from the Real World: New Orleans and here is what we found out (KEY: C- Comment, A- Answer, Q- Question):


From Gil in New Jersey
Q: What made you audition for the show?
A: Curiousity
Q: I heard somewhere that you were unfamiliar with the show. I also want to ask if you acted fake on the show, to make your season better?
A: No
From Taylor in Michigan
Q: You seemed like you were so on key during your season of Real World, and it seemed like you got along with everybody (well except David, sometimes), what happened between you and Melissa, you guys seemed like you were going to be friends for life. Is everything alright now between you two?
A: I don't talk to many RW kids now because we all live far from one another and have our own lives. Plus the Real World was long ago.
From Nick in Louisiana
Q: Why did you turn down the Playboy deal?
A: You couldn't get me to do Playboy for all the money in the world. The magazine doesn't coinside with my value system and I think it degrades women to jack-off objects. Incidentally - They offered me over 50 Gs.
Q: Do you know who accepted it? or who else declined it?
A: I think Melissa got offered, so she might do it. I don't know anyone else.
From Natalie
Q: Are you still a virgin? and do you still practice the Mormon faith?
A: Yes and Yes.
From Victor in Mississippi
Q: Being that you were rejected from BYU, how has that affected you? and Did you ever go somewhere else to recieve a degree and complete college? Do you still have a bad relationship with BYU?
A: I have never had a bad relationship with BYU. The truth is, I'm so busy with my band and touring that I couldn't go back to school if I wanted to. Eventually, I might go back to finish, but right now that's not a possibility.
From Danny in Chicago, Illinois
Q: Who do you think you have learned from the most ever since your experience on Real World? Also, who do you still keep good contact with?
A: See Question 1
From Dave
Q: When you were in the Belfort, did you or the cast have any problems with fans?
A: Not really.
From Martell in St. Louis, Missouri
Q: How have you dealt with the fame that comes along with being a castmember on the Real World?
A: It's cool.
From Annalisa in Buffalo, NY
Q: How has your love life been treating you? Are you in any relationships at this time?
A: Yeah, I have a boyfriend. I'm all in love and stuff. You can read about him a little on my website PLANETJULIE.com.
From Chris and Tammi
Q: Regarding the episode where you and your father got in a bit of an argument: Have you and your father watched that episode together? Have you all made up?
A: We never fought about that episode. We think it's funny because the whole fight was about The Real World and the cameras and that got editted out. We laugh at it.
From Tracie in North Carolina
These Questions are coming from a fellow Mormon:
Q: Do you find it hard to stand for truth and right?
A: No
Q: Are you very active in your ward?
A: Yes
Q: Do you aim for a temple marriage one day or are you just aiming for love?
A: Please don't degrade love, as if it is a second place prize. A strong loving relationship built on trust, faith, and committment is my first priority. Where the ceremony takes place is not as important as who you are with for eternity.
C: [I] keep up with you through your journal and enjoy reading that someone else goes through the same thoughts and feelings I had a few years ago.
A: Thanks
From Lisa in Franklin, Ohio
Q: What was the biggest misconception you had going into the RWNO house and what happened that made you realize it was a mis conception? What was one event that took place during either RWNO or the Challenge that you wish would have aired in one of the episodes, but didn't?
A: They never aired the guys I dated. Instead they blew up the Matt drama - which was really very small.
From Patty
Q: Are you living with Gabe?
A: No
Q: If so how is that affecting the relationship with your dad? If he's not happy about it, how did he take it?
A: No Comment from Julie for that question
From Micheal
Q: Has your relationship with your parents changed or not changed since you've been on the Real World?
A: No
From Nick
Q: What do you think of that Chicago, New York 2, and Las Vegas casts? Do you keep in contact with any of them?
A: I don't watch it.
From Jennifer in Jackson, Mississippi
Q: What made you do that Eminem video?
A: He asked and it was so fun.

On behalf of our site w all the readers we'd like to thank Julie for partcipating in the interview. We are in the works of setting up another one (possibly with Melissa from Real World: New Orleans), please send people's names of the one's you want to hear from. Send all requests to newrwroad@hotmail.com.
RealityWorldTV.com claims that that girl on the left, Is one of two finalists for the "Real World Paris" and "Road Rules South Seas." The first of the finalists is Ashley Wagner (picture at left), a junior in college from Atlanta. Ashley is most-likely in the top 100 semi-finalists. She says "If they put me in that stupid RV, I'm going to die. I'd rather be in France, just sitting in a badass house and going to EuroDisney." The second finalist, Suzanne Rudnick, is definetly among the top 20 finalists for both shows, giving her a 2/3 shot of being one of the 13 castmembers. She is a sophmore at Lehigh University. MTV will make their final decisions later this month, just several weeks before taping is set to begin. On the idea of whether she made the show, Rudnicj says “No, I wouldn’t make it because I can’t fathom making it. But on the other hand, yes because I’ve already made it from 30,000 people down to 20.” So we will see how true this is. Also, I've recieved the answers back from Julie, and they should be up later tonight.

Tuesday, November 05, 2002

Due to the heavy volume of questions that we have recieved for the Julie interview, I am no longer accepting any questions, the final interview has been sent off to her so that she can answer them. When I get the answers, I will post them. Thanks to all that participated.

Remember that tonight The Real World: Las Vegas will be on at 9 central 10 eastern on MTV. So be sure to watch and send in your synopsis' and we will post the best 3!

Monday, November 04, 2002

Just wanted totell you all that Danny's site, http://www.countrytoconcrete.org/

So send in your questions to newrwroad@hotmail.com. That's all for now.

Sunday, November 03, 2002

On Amazon.com, we noticed that the release date for the Real World: Las Vegas book has been pushed back from November 5th to December 3rd. Also the release dates for the Real World Movie: The Lost Season DVDs and the Real World You Never Saw: Las Vegas will be released on January 28th, 2003. So some disappointing news there.

Also, Kevin Powell of the first Real World season has got a new book out, as seen on ET on MTV this weekend. Kevin is the editor of "Who Shot Ya?", a new pictorial which documents three decades of hip hop history in photographs. Eminem, Eve, Tupac, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Salt n Pepa, Mark Wahlberg, and Notorious B.I.G. are just some of the past and present hip hop artist whose photos will be featured in the book. No release date has been set yet.

Also, we're still accepting questions, so send them in to us at newrwroad@hotmail.com.

Also, we have a picture of Kelley from New Orleans with her new boyfriend, Scott Wolfe:



Also, we heard news that Coral (Back to New York) took another step into reality television and recently completed an episode for the 5th Wheel. Word has it that she won the date.
In today's Celebrity Dodgeball Game at UCLA, the cast of The Real World: Las Vegas was slated to appear. However, as the people who attended the event saw, some cast members were evidently missing. A sorority from UCLA put on the event, benefitting the Elizabeth Glacer AIDS Foundation. They were posting fliers and posters around campus with pictures of Trishelle, Brynn, Steven, Frank, Alton, Arissa and Irulan, saying that they would be slated to appear. However, the only one to appear was Frank who seemed to be in good spirits. (Maybe because Steven and Trishelle were absent. However, they did put together an MTV team consisting of Timmy (USA Tour 1/Battle of the Seasons), Veronica (Semester At Sea/Challenge 2000/Battle of the Seasons), Yes (Semester At Sea/Challenge 2000/Battle of the Seasons) and Frank (Las Vegas). The MTV team took the competition beating out other teams like Survivor and the TV team.

The other cast members, reportedly went to Jillians in South Carolina to sponser a nationwide event.

Friday, November 01, 2002

For those of you in the area, every single castmember of the Real World: Las Vegas will be on the UCLA campus Saturday from 11pm-3pm participating in a dodgeball tournament benefitting a local group on campus. There are other celebrities set to appear as well. The event will take place at the LA Tennis Center next to Drake Stadium. Go to www.ucla.edu for directions to the campus. Admittance is free!

Thursday, October 31, 2002

Frank said in a recent interview with MTV.com on last night's episode:

Brynn's hot. Brynn is much better looking than all those other girls on those boxes. I'd say Brynn is a nine in a city of sixes of go-go dancers. On top of that, I look at her and I'm just like, oh yeah, our roommate. She's so hot. That's why she's obviously a go-go dancer. Then I looked at all the other go-go dancers and they seem half-retarded. They barely move around. It' just kinda like they're sick of it. They're like, oh yeah, look at me. Look at me. And they barely move their hips and then I look at Brynn and she's going crazy. She looks terrific. I think she's fabulous. And this is probably what she should be doing for the rest of her life.

I agree, I think she is hot. She's a very good dancer too, she got me on the up side dancing like that. I love her now.
Fulton wanted to tell us that Mrs. Melissa Howard from the Real World: New Orleans has been keeping herself busy. She's one of the hosts on Oxygen Network's 'Girls Behaving Badly.' Ya see Melissa keeps herself busy....and she also looks like she lost a lot of weight, and she looks great! I always did like Melissa, but she looks wonderful now days. Check her little Oxygen website at http://www.oxygen.com/girls/.

Tuesday, October 29, 2002

Well on the day of the Real World: Las Vegas night, I'd like to tell you that Kendal has a site now! It's http://www.misskendal.com/ (We clicked on several of the 'butterflies' and they didn't link to anything, so it may not be complete yet, stay tuned) thanks to Savannah for the tip! This and more sites should be popping up on the net as the season for the Road Rules: Campus Crawl ended. Anyways....On tonight's episode of the Real World: Las Vegas......Brynn tries to Go-Go dance, and some other stuff happens, watch to find out tonight on the 10 spot on MTV.

Also RealityWorldTV.com reports that Julie from Real World: New Orleans turned down a deal with Playboy Magazine and Julie mentioned that there will be an upcoming Real World Playboy issue. She turned down a deal to pose for 120,000 dollars! Can we call her dumb or smart? The site claims that more details will be revealed later.....I'm wondering what other details are there? If you know something e-mail us at newrwroad@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Sunday, October 27, 2002

I forgot to ask you all, what did you all think of that fork incident? Did Steven make the right choice? and was I the only that saw Steven move his head like that or what? That was gay. LOL.....that was funny. So send in your comments to me and I'll post the best ones to newrwroad@hotmail.com. Thank you to all that send in your comments.

We've got an update on our girl from Real World: Las Vegas, Arissa....she's getting a site it's www.arissahill.com. It's a very nice site at that! I like that picture, but it's not open yet. Thanks to Danielle T. for this tip.

We have some very tragic news to report, Michell Parma, a cast member on the third season of MTV's Road Rules, killed in a weekend car accident in Texas. (Thanks to all who tipped off the Eonline.com news tidbit)! Our thoughts and condolences are expressed to the family.

RealityWorldTV.com has uncovered some interesting news about the Real World: Las Vegas house:

George Maloof, whose family owns The Palms (the casino in which 'The Real Worlders' live), said the value of return from the heavy promotion on the show "is hard to measure" — in part because MTV's core audience is 12-to 24-year-olds, and the Palms covets adults, but he is quick to mention that many young celebrities are finding his hotel to be Las Vegas' new hot spot. "Every young celebrity watches MTV, and we're getting a lot of interest in the Palms because of that," Maloof said. Not only are they interested in the hotel, but in 'The Real World' house. According to NaplesNews.com, "an A-list movie guy and 10 of his buddies" will have a bachelor party in the suite. They also mention that Mike Tyson, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Tobey Maguire, have all paid over $5,000 dollars to rent the suit for one night.

Man has it been slow or what? NO news...or is it that we just aren't seeing it...After that last episode of The Real World: Las Vegas I was speechless...it was kinda fake if you ask me. But that's just my opinion. "Brynn, I want you gone" ---- CLASSIC! from Steve. Anyway got any news? Send it to us at newrwroad@hotmail.com.

Sorry about that brief pause in the news updates.....really busy this weekend. Here's what I have found on the web today...

Becka sent me a link to http://www.stuffmagazine.com/sex/girls/real_world_girls.html which was HOT! The Real World: Las Vegas chicks....one word----FINE!

Also we've got some news from www.Realityworldtv.com:

Marc Portugal, boss for 'The Real World: Las Vegas' cast, no longer works for N9NE Group. He was dismissed after sexual harassment charges were aired during last week's episode. "[W]e have zero tolerance for such behavior," said Michael Morton, co-owner of the company that owns N9NE steakhouse, the nightclub Rain and the pool lounge Skin at the Palms. "Obviously, we were unaware of the things that were going on," said Morton.

also some news on Kyle and Lori's relationship:

At last night's E!Online Wanda Chat, Wanda revealled just how serious 'Real Worlder's' Kyle and Lori's relationship is. She says "they are very much in love. Just spent a weekend in Vegas and were spotted at the Bellagio. She's still debating a move to the West Coast to be closer to her honey."

That's all for now, send in your comments on tonight's show to . Thanks!

Friday, October 11, 2002

An anonymous e-mailer sent in this portion of the MTV.com guidelines or something...it was really unclear. But I'll paste the quote from the MTV.com guidelines (or whatever they're called, maybe for the Cheap Slots game):

The Promotion will be conducted based on the airing of approximately (30) thirty episodes of "The Real World Las Vegas" (the "Program")scheduled to air weekly from September 17, 2002 through April 22, 2002 (MTV reserves the right to modify the total number of episodes and the actual airdates to accommodate changes in the onair programming schedule).

We'll see how true this is in the coming weeks....The Battle of the Sexes air date is unclear to us, we are trying to gather facts on it, and we will get it to you as soon as it's confirmed with sources at MTV.

We need your help! Send in your comments, questions, news tips, links to RW/BOTS news articles, etc. send them to newrwroad@hotmail.com.

I just wanted to add a tidbit to your Favortie places on the net....Janeen A. provided us with a detailed list of a site that has all the cast members that were ever on the Real World. If you click on the cast member's names it will have all kinds of information about what they've been up too since the show, and more. Goto it at >>> http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/CastGuide/showid-4287. And yet another article....We found this Entertainment Weekly article...and it's located at http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,339480~3~0~meetcastofreal,00.html. That's all for now. Send news to newrwroad@hotmail.com. Thanks!
Here are some of your comments from that enquire about "Is the Real World REAL anymore?"

Anna Norman wrote us and she said:
"The Real World has really lost it's element of reality
this season. People know what fame being a cast
member can bring, so the people trying out and getting
cast are the actors and potential performers. Not
only this, but BMP tries so hard to get such dynamic
personalities and people with such crazy backgrounds
just for drama. I miss earlier seasons and even more
recent ones like B2NY and Chicago where the people
actually were relatable."


Raven Nichols from Las Vegas, NV wanted to add a comment and here it is:
"I feel that the casting for both Real World and Road Rules have become so appearance oriented. Yes, most of the people on both shows are interesting to watch, but they are also beautiful, physically fit, drink and have sex like rabbits. In the REAL world most of us do not fit those descriptions at all."

Jennifer Newnan from somewhere in GA wrote to say:
No, it's not real anymore. Gone are the days of the "Puck's" and "Irene's." R.I.P.

Michelle and Eric wrote to us and wanted to express their opinions on the current cast:
""Real Word" Las Vegas is a far fetch from reality. How many of the past cast members from previous shows got their bags carried for them on day one? How many people in the real world live in a casino and throw parties as a profession? I am truly disappointed in this season. Not in the cast members, but in the environment they were put in, and their reactions to this environment."

Send more comments to newrwroad@hotmail.com and we will post them only if they are in the 50-75 words range. I will post most of them, if they're good, and not long.

Today Wanda from Eonline.com wrote about Melissa, here's what she wrote:

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch: Get ready. The more I hear about this upcoming Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Sexes, the more I'm convinced it could be the nastiest unscripted catfight in MTV's history.

A source tells me that Melissa of The Real World: New Orleans set up an alliance against former housemate Julie before the show even began in Jamaica. (Rumor is their close friendship went south over a business-related dispute.) And it sounds like Melissa's plan may have paid off--Beth from Real World: Los Angeles, the first bootee from Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Seasons, managed to survive the first voting-off process in Jamaica.

I saw Beth at Mike Boogie's Big Brother bash and, despite the rumors of fire and bitchstone, decided to introduce myself (albeit timidly) and ask how the Challenge went.

"There's a lot of drama, but I think it makes me a stronger person," she said with a lovely smile. "Most of the castmembers are so screwed up I walk away thinking, God, my life's not so bad after all."

Relieved by her charming demeanor, I pressed on, asking Beth if she'd do another show. "They ask me back because they know people are going to fight with me," she said. "And I think they'll keep asking me back until somebody kills me--on the air. And I keep asking myself, Why? Why? Why the bitch comment?! Why are they calling me Osama Beth Laden?!' I'm really nice--I don't get it!" She then let out an evil cackle and the gates of hell opened before my very eyes.
LOL, I wish that we seriously could get an interview with that Princess Melissa, I love her! She's hilarious. I will try to request one. E-mail me if you want one too. Our address is newrwroad@hotmail.com. Melissa, if you're out there? Please e-mail us if you want us to give you an interview, also fans send in some questions. This is somethingn new we're going to try.
We want to know something....

Has the Real World gone to far? Is it real anymore? Is it as good as it used to be? We're going to compile a bunch of your comments, and post them here. PLEASE limit them to 50-75 words. So we can post as many as possible.
Here are some of your comments:

Here's one on the fact that Brynn is not leaving.

Of course she doesn't get kicked off. We already know she was there to
compete in the RW/RR Challenge AND that pic of her in the newspaper
article you posted yesterday shows her in Australia holding a koala. So
obviously she's around for the trip which usually falls much later in
the season.
From Micheal H., Las Vegas, NV

Please make sure to include City, and state when submitting comments, it is optional though. Send your comments or opinions too us at newrwroad@hotmail.com.

NEW: We've got New Guy that sent us a link to this article on the Las Vegas Weekly it has information about Arissa Hill. Thanks to New Guy for that link.
So next week, will Brynn get kicked out the Real World: Las Vegas House? Well as we saw the preview shows Steven and Brynn trying to fight, but both getting held back. This is going to be the most exciting episode! Send us you're opinions on last night's show, and I promise that I'll post some. Send them to newrwroad@hotmail.com. Also keep sending in the names and last names of cast members.

Also, to refresh some your memories, since we've goten a few requests for the Battle of the Sexes Cast, well here they are:

Real World guys: Eric, David (LA), Puck, Dan, Syrus, Colin, David (NO), Jamie, and Theo.

Real World girls: Beth S., Genesis, Amaya, Ruthie, Julie (NO), Melissa (NO), Lori, Keri, and Tonya.

Road Rules guys: Mark, Antoine, Jake, Yes, James, Laterrian, Blair, Eric, and Shane (CC).

Road Rules girls: Emily, Anne, Christina, Gladys, Ayanna, Veronica, Ellen, Jisela, and Rachel.

I don't know about some of you, but I can't wait to see the Real World: New Orleans cast members again! AND they had to put Jisela on this show didn't they? As much as she bitches about BMP how would she sign on to do the show? Since she claims they screwed her over? I don't get that, and then she wants to talk about the fans. Whatever, this will be an interesting season. We've also recieved some rumoring air dates, Wanda from eonline.com says January, but they may push it up or back, it depends. They have to fill the spot that Road Rules: Campus Crawl occupied, so it may be earlier. We'll see, I haven't even seen any commercials for it. Off-topic discussion, Is MTV bringing back Jackass (the show)???? Please E-mail me concerning that topic.....newrwroad@hotmail.com

Tuesday, October 08, 2002

and We're back!

First off I was tipped off about this article on Brynn (Thanks to AJ for the link) it's here.

We want to know if you know the Real World: Las Vegas cast member's last names. This is always fun to do. I think we know some. But just send in the one's you know to newrwroad@hotmail.com and then we'll post the final list eventually. Please send in confirmed names. Thanks a lot!

Also, just a quick note from RealityWorldTV.com on Coral and Mike (Thanks!) --- Mike and Coral of 'The Real World: Back To NY' were at Saginaw Valley State University on Thursday updating the crowd on what their lives has been like since the show has ended. Mike is working at a charity organization for terminally ill children, attending wrestling and acting school, and traveling to colleges across the country doing open talks. Coral is also working for charity. Coral founded Zapatos, a charity organization that gives shoes to the homeless, travels with Mike to colleges and is trying to find a job hosting a television show. (Reality World TV is also going to do an interview with Sarah from RR Campus Crawl, so go there and submit your questions.)

On tonight's episode of the Real World: Las Vegas the TVGuide has it saying that this is what's going to go down.:
Irulan flirts with her boss Marc, but becomes uncomfortable with his attention; Arissa is hurt by a “joke” Frank makes, causing Alton to come to her defense.
That's all for now, Check back later for those full names (first and last). We'll credit thosee that send!

Bad news, the power has been out since October 4th, just got restored. And my phone was out since this morning. We had a Hurricane (Lili) pass through over here, and destroyed our communications and power....so it just got restored. Well I will try to get back to normal posting.

Tuesday, October 01, 2002

Thanks to RealityWorldtv.com for these news stories:

First off, we've got Cara News!, When asked tonight in her weekly chat what the 'Real World Chicago' cast were up to, E!Online's Wanda replied, "Cara has landed her first TV acting gig, on The Drew Carey Show. She plays the daughter of a Ritz Carlton manager played by Paul Benedict in the episode that airs tonight." It's the first I've heard of the appearance, but Wanda said she heard about it straight from Cara's mouth. The Drew Carey Show airs tonight at 8pm on ABC.

Next, news on the Real World:Miami house, An agent at the Miami Beach office of Coldwell Banker has sold 'The Real World Miami' house for $2.2 million. Miami-Dade property records list the home as last sold in 1994 for $800,000 to an individual buyer. This year, the home was assessed at about $1.67 million, up from $974,534 the prior year. Coldwell Banker would not disclose the names of either seller or buyer or the home.

Monday, September 30, 2002

We were right the season finale for Road Rules: Campus Crawl is next Monday at 10/9 CST. Catch it on MTV. Also tommorow, The Real World: Las Vegas at 10/9 CST. Please send us any news, synopsis', etc. to newrwroad@hotmail.com.
Wanda recently had a talk with Real World: Miami's Dan and here's what she uncovered and confirmed:

First there was Rachel and Sean. Then Pam and Judd, Holly and Chadwick, Emily and James, Kendal and Blair. And now, in the long string of Bunim-Murray matchmaking, yet another dynamic duo has arisen from the Real World clan: Lori of The Real World: New York (and the upcoming Battle of the Sexes Challenge) and Kyle of The Real World: Chicago.

A source close to the Chicago cast tells me Lori and Kyle met a few months ago and are "in a very serious, committed relationship--and sickeningly adorable together." Although Lori still lives on the East Coast and Kyle is in Hollywood working on his screen career, they frequently fly back and forth to visit each another, and Lori is considering a move to La-La Land. And by the way, word is that the recently paired Road Rules couples--Kendal and Blair, Emily and James--are still going strong.

So why do these cast members keep dipping their pens in the Bunim-Murray ink? Dan from The Real World: Miami, who just finished the Battle of the Sexes Challenge along with Lori, shed a little light. "If you're on the Real World," he explains, "it's a given that you're crazy and if you can find your crazy brethren, it makes this world a happier place for you. If you're having a tantrum and they understand and even encourage you, that's a beautiful thing."

He also explained how it is that cast members keep hooking up after their shows end (much to the producers' chagrin, natch). "Real Worlders are incestuous. You don't even know. The newer cast members still live with each other. And you go to their apartments, and they still have drama about who'll do the dishes. They talk in soundbites--short, quippy, one-liners. You're looking around like: Is there a camera crew around here? The drama and the hookups do not end."

And that is a beautiful thing.

We apologize for causing such a freenzy...Please stop e-mailing us about that picture. We've fixed the problem. Sorry to all the people that got mad. We apologize. PLEASE STOP SENDING E-MAILS about the PICTURE!, they will just be deleted!

Thursday, September 26, 2002

Well we've uncovered some information on the Real World: Las Vegas control room, off of the Tubescan.com Boards, we'd like to thank latinosupafly19 for the information the boards..... And....here it is:

Meanwhile, back in the Batcave -- as the show's staff members have dubbed their darkened 28th-floor control room. (Rm. 28102) four large and 25 small TV monitors record the action (or inaction) throughout the "Real World" penthouse, from the office to the kitchen, the pool table to the living room.

Wipe-clean boards posted in the control room list each cast member's whereabouts, along with upcoming schedules, needed background shots and planned excursions. (During their 4 1/2-month stay, various "Real World" cast members ventured to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Hoover Dam and Los Angeles, among other destinations.)


Isn't this a very interesting summary of the control room, I think it is. It's cool to know that the cast will venture off to the Hoover Dam. That's all for now, e-mail us with news, newrwroad@hotmail.com. We'd also like to address a problem that may have occured lately. I read a thread on the Tubescan.com boards and it was talking about how we steal posts from them, we don't really steal them and act they are ours. Also, If you send information or news to us, we do get it confirmed before posting it on the blog. So all you people that send fake news or information it will probably not get posted. There are some really loyal fans of this site, that love the information and news we provide and there are times that we will report something false, but we are human too, we do make mistakes. We try our hardest to get stuff confirmed before posting it, and most times do. So we would like to acknowledge those that send in NEWS to us. We regret the confusion that this may have caused on the boards and at the blog. Sorry.

Well we found the brief episode summaries at TVGuide.com for the Real World: Las Vegas. Check them out below (Highlight them to read):

10/1:
The roommates receive their job assignments; Arissa misses her boyfriend and becomes annoyed with Irulan, who blames Frank for the rift.

10/8:
Irulan flirts with her boss Marc, but becomes uncomfortable with his attention; Arissa is hurt by a “joke” Frank makes, causing Alton to come to her defense.

Tuesday, September 24, 2002

BREAKING NEWS:

Frank (the guy that has been to so many college's) has an arrest record, we've got the news from The Smoking Gun:

Here's hoping that Frank Roessler, a cast member on MTV's "Real World" series,
treated his swanky Las Vegas crib with more respect than he showed a couple of
Pennsylvania residences. The 22-year-old man was convicted last year of criminal
mischief for vandalizing two fraternity houses at Bucknell University, where
Roessler was a student. According to the amusing criminal complaint, Roessler
and codefendant Charles Reiter broke into two frat houses and caused a variety
of damage, including broken toilets, a smashed door, and a broken window. At the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, Roessler and Reiter left behind a calling card, of
sorts: "two fresh piles of feces." Charged in a five-count criminal information,
Roessler pleaded guilty to criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. He was sentenced
last June to two years probation, fined $1000, and ordered to pay Bucknell $1000
restitution. When we asked MTV spokeswoman Allison Bennett if any current "Real
World" cast members had criminal records, Bennett initially said she was
"unaware" of any such legal scrapes. However, after TSG provided details of
Roessler's rap sheet, Bennett suddenly recalled hearing about the bust, saying
it "wasn't like he committed a robbery or raped someone. It was a frat prank. He
is not a dangerous person." Roessler--on probation at the time--spent four
months living with six roommates in the palatial "Real World" penthouse atop
Vegas's Palms Hotel.


Thanks to the Smoking Gun for uncovering that dirty little secret!

The Road Rules: Campus Crawl Season Finale will air on Monday October 7. Obviously their are only 3 episodes left.

The Road Rules: End of the Road Marathon will be airing on Saturday October 5th, at 12:30 p.m. Which means that the following Monday will be the finale air date (October 7th, 2002) They may bump the Battle Of the Sexes release date up earlier. Otherwise, The total number of episodes for Road Rules: Campus Crawl is 16. Remember this week on the show the cast will travel to Las Vegas, they will meet up with the Real World: Las Vegas cast and pull a prank on them. This is our chance to see the Real Worlders behavior at the time they filmed this episode.

Friday, September 20, 2002

Is there nothing but confusion created by the BMP site? Well, if you are looking to be cast in The Real World 13: Paris or Road Rules: South Seas Adventure, then you have until October 7, 2002 to turn in your tapes to BMP. (If you need casting tips, look at the left side of the page.) BMP finally changed their site to the correct date and they even changed their address to:

RW/RR Casting
Bunim/Murray Productions
6007 Sepulveda Blvd
Van Nuys, CA 91411


If you think you'd be better at open calls, visit BMP's site for a list of open calls.

Thursday, September 19, 2002

Bunim-Murray has thrown another curveball this time. After most of the internet sites had reported that The Real World's 13th season would be filmed in Atlanta, a frontrunner for many years, BMP drops a literal bomb. They announce that The Real World will be filmed in Paris. Only the second season to be filmed overseas, BMP decides to pick a "romantic" location. Many believed that BMP would go overseas soon, as an overseas season was long overdue, however, the frontrunner for an overseas season was supposed to be Sydney. Rumors? Well, they also confirmed that Road Rules will be filmed in the South Seas. Send in those tapes!

Wednesday, September 18, 2002

I've thought about this for a while now....I've come up with a little something for you all to do...send you're cast ratings of the Real World: Las Vegas cast. Like list all the cast: Trishelle, Brynn, Irulan, Arissa, Alton, Steven, and Frank. Then by there names list the score 1-10 and add one sentence as to why you gave them that rating. Send them to us at newrwroad@hotmail.com. This is what we like to call Rate the Real Worlder. I'll post some of your opinions. The very good ones. Here are mine:

Trishelle (5) - Damn that was mean what you did to Frank....in his face..
Brynn (8) - You are way to quite.
Irulan (9.5) - You are HOT!
Arissa (10) - Another hot one.
Alton (8) - Ya that's you, holla at them hot girls in the house.
Steven (2) - That was wrong, but it's all you....You lied....but damn you aint had to play Frank on the first day...that was wrong.
Frank (0.5) - You are a complete idiot....what the hell is wrong with you? You just let crap like that slide? And walk out the door....oh no...there's no way...Do something about that..:-)

SEND in those ratings!
Being hailed as one of the most innovative, dramatic seasons of all the twelve, the producers of the long time running show, The Real World promise that their Las Vegas installment would be one of the best. Now that the first episode has aired, there has been mixed reaction to Trishelle, Brynn, Irulan, Arissa, Alton, Steven and Frank and the circus called the Real World.

Personally, I thought that the episode was a little too much too soon. We accurately reported most of the dramatics of the first episode about two weeks ago (That's for all you haters at the message boards.) And we did see the love triangle... (Love square, rather) of Steven, Trishelle, Frank and Brynn. Most people who are new to the show emailed in saying that the first episode absoultely disgusted them. They were appalled by the season's tackiness and fake reactions of the castmembers. However, long standing fans of the series have applauded the first episode, saying that it has all the dramatics of a classic Real World season. More than likely, production decided to jump into a huge issue far too soon. That should've been a third episode topic... not a first episode topic. However, Las Vegas is promising a lot more than this love square, so they probably had to fit that into the first episode. What do you think? Email us at newrwroad@hotmail.com.

Have you seen the new issue of TV Guide? Well, there is an article detailing the behind the scenes drama that went on when the castmembers first moved into the house. Apparently, within minutes of meeting each other Steven had his hands on Trishelle's leg, maybe foreshadowing impending moments to come. They also had trouble with the elevator. (They have to push in a secret code.) There's also an incident where on their way to Ghostbar, the cast takes the emergency stairs only to be led to a dead end. On their way back to the elevator, they lock two cameras in the stairwell. It also has a short profile of each castmember. Frank says that he's pretty embarrassed about the first episode, leading us to believe that this will blow over. Brynn rates the Real World experience with a 5, saying that she would never do it again. It's a pretty interesting article.

Wanda over at Eonline had her chat on Monday. Just to keep those who want to know informed, she only reported on Cara's appearance on Jenny Jones. She also talked about Lori and Kyle dating... Which we both reported to you several days ago.

Also, we are unfortunately behind on the site with all the new things. It's a lot of work, but thanks for waiting!

Tuesday, September 17, 2002

Well everyone tonight as you all know is the Real World Premire of Las Vegas, We want your synopsis', so please send the in after the show or tommorow to newrwroad@hotmail.com. Thanks! That's it for now.

Monday, September 16, 2002

Sorry for no updates yesterday... No real news to report yesterday.

If you remember the San Francisco house was ravaged by a fire a few years back and was restored to its original glory. Prior to the fire, the house hosted an internet company. Anyway, the owner put the house on the market 9 months ago and it has failed to sell. It's price has dropped to a measly 1.2 million dollars. So, if you have the spare change...

Also, The Road Rules Blog, that site where the Road Rulers posted is down now. SO... Sarah started her own online journal at Diaryland! Enjoy!

IT PREMIERES TOMORROW!
