Kristin from E! Online went on a mission with the Road Rulers BUT, apparently a new person was there. I'm getting conflicting reports on who wasn't there and who was there. However, from what I understand... There were only five Road Rulers there. Donell, Dave, Marybeth, Christena and a new castmember named Chris. (So this means that Abram is one of the one's to leave...) Kristin said a long time ago that one of the girls was missing when she went over to New Zealand... However, the reason for her absence is unclear.

Hope you've had a great Memorial Day Weekend... Road Rules premiered last night.

The Real World XIII Launch Special will air today. A casting special of sorts... Be ready to get introduced to the cast, who Jon Murray, producer of the show, calls a throwback to the old days of the Real World, where they didn't just rely on the crazy antics of the cast for ratings.

And apparently Trishelle and Katie have backed out of the Playboy deal entirely. No word why. Or whether or not Arissa will still pose in the magazine. This comes from Trishelle's online fan club.

Melissa was on the Montell Williams Show this weekend. She was promoting her show Girls Behaving Badly on the Oxygen Network.

And E! is airing a special this Wednesday night. It shows the reality television cast members who's 15 minutes are up. It airs at 9pm Eastern Time. Be sure to catch some of your favorite Real World cast members.

So you know how 8 girls from the show did, Playboy? So, you may be thinking... Well, what about the guys? It seems that Playgirl has been trying to actively recruit male castmembers of The Real World and Road Rules to do a pictorial in Playgirl. Of those who has been offered is Mike (Back to New York). It is unclear on WHO has been asked, but they've been looking for people since Veronica, Jisela, Flora, and Beth first posed.

In her June newsletter for her fan club, Trishelle (Las Vegas) reveals that both Katie (The Quest), Mike, and Coral (Back to New York) will be taking part of the new challenge this summer. Now, Trishelle, Katie, Mike, and Coral will also join Theo (Chicago) and Matt (New Orleans) in this summer's Challenge. To join the fan club, go here.

And joining the ranks of former alumni like Trishelle, is Mary Beth (South Pacific). Yes, Mary Beth is posing for Playboy. She actually revealed this information on the casting special for South Pacific, but you can see her page at Playboy here. Trishelle, Katie (The Quest), and Arissa (Las Vegas) will all be appearing in a summer edition of Playboy. Veronica (Semester At Sea), Jisela (The Quest), Flora (Miami) and Beth S. (Los Angeles) all posed in Playboy last year. Thanks to Jason for that.

The Real World: Paris book comes out on November 30. Thanks to Tiger for that information. You can preorder it right here.

For those of you worried about Melissa's site being gone for good... Don't worry. Melissa's website recently ran out its lease over its domain and the site was temporarily down. The domain was updated a few days ago and should be up and running soon!

Two last names are out from the new casts: Clyde "Ace" Amerson and Abram Boise. To see the compiled list of all cast members from both The Real World and Road Rules go to IMDB.com and do a search on The Real World or Road Rules.

Meet (from L to R) Adam, Mallory, Ace, Leah, Chris, Christina, and Simon: The cast of The Real World 13: Paris



Some info on who's sharing a room: Ace and Christina will be sharing a room. Chris or CT (as he is called on the site) and Adam will be sharing a room. Mallory, Leah, and Simon will be sharing a room. And they also have an interesting part of the website called The Real World Personality Quiz. They basically give you your own bio as if you were a castmember. But they also equate you to one of the Paris castmembers. And who are you most likely to hook up with and fight with. Very interesting.

OH MY GOSH! They posted The Real World: Paris site. Check it out. Also MTV is now running promos on the show.

Kristin at E-Online also had to say this about this season of Road Rules:

"It actually starts next Monday, May 26, I believe. And it sounds juicy--lots of drama and tension and yes, voting off. As some of you know, I was in New Zealand about a month ago and did a week of Road Rules with five other reporters--including a mission. You can see me in all my reality-TV glory (and humiliation) on E! News Live Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., on E! And the next upcoming column will have the lowdown on my trip, the new cast and everything you don't know about Road Rules.

And she also mentioned that the Real Worlders will be working as writers for a travel guide book on Paris. And she mentioned that every single person in the house is single (except for Simon who found a boyfriend shortly before coming on the show.)

Shane and Rachel (Campus Crawl) just introduced the world to the cast of Road Rules: South Pacific... And now... they reveal a bit of information... Not one, not two, but three people will be kicked off Road Rules this season. This means that Road Rules: South Pacific will match The Real World: Los Angeles as the biggest casts. (They both have nine castmembers.) The reason why three people are being kicked off is because the way that production set up the game this year. Once the group fails two missions, they HAVE to kick off a fellow castmember. There are no individual prize missions, just one final handsome reward. Looks like there will be major nudity, tension, and a potential fight (between Donnell and Abram) You don't want to miss this!

Road Rules XII
South Pacific
Tonight at 10:00pm ET

Watch as Abe, Cara, Christena, Dave, Donnell, and Marybeth get chosen for the trip of a lifetime.

And today is the last day to turn in tapes for Real World 14. All casting calls have been announced (ending in early June in Riverside, CA). Go to the Casting Page to see all dates.

Kit (USA Tour 1) will be taking part in ABCs hit daytime talk show, The View. She will co-host this Wednesday with the four regular hosts. To see airtimes, go to The View's Website. There have been other Real World/Road Ruler types who have actually went to co-host that show. Lindsay (Seattle) actually tried out for the spot left empty by Debbie Matenopolous. But once they tried her out, they deemed her too young. Rachel (San Francisco) actually made it to the finals with two other women, but eventually lost the spot to the now split Lisa Ling. Kit herself works at FOX where she is a correspondent for the news magazine, The Pulse and were she used to be co-host of Celebrity Journal. She's now married.

For those of you looking for information about the Real World 14... Well, it seems like they're doing this season a tad bit early. This season will be filmed in August of 2003. This is a bit early on the schedule for BMP. The only season to be filmed in mid-year like this was Chicago, when Bunim-Murray tried to avoid the wintery-windy season by having it in the summer months instead of winter. Usually, BMP films each season of the Real World beginning in January through March. This can give a hint to the locale that they are choosing for next season. An unfavorable place for Season 14? BMP will most likely announce the spot in an official press release, but many people think it will be a Texas city this time around.

And also, want to see a picture of Mallory from Paris? Valerie sent us a link of Mallory at the Iowa State soccer website.

The Real World Gnome is getting pictures like crazy. If you haven't signed up for MTVs postcards from the Gnome... go to MTV.com and do it. There's interesting pictures like an exterior shot of "the Real World Chateau". There's more promised to come!

Meet Ace, Adam, Chris, Simon, Mallory, Christina, and Leah as they hit Paris. We actually reported to you in January that Ace was a castmember of the Real World and Abram a castmember of Road Rules. The following descriptions of castmembers comes from Zap2it.com.

Ace, 24, fancies himself an entrepreneur and is co-owner of three bars around Georgia Southern University -- where he's currently a sixth-year senior. He's also coming off a recent breakup.

Adam, 23 is the son of an R&B singer who was often on the road. He grew up in Beverly Hills and graduated from Stanford, and he wants to follow his dad into the music business. He hasn't yet found that special girl.

Chris, 22, has "dark good looks" and a "mysterious nature," which means he's "never lacking when it comes to women." He's also a senior at the University at Massachusetts who works as a bartender and is close to his family.

Christina, 24, majors in criminal justice at UNLV and is helping to pay for college by working as a Vegas cocktail waitress. The daughter of a Korean mother and a German father, she lived in a number of different places when her stepdad was in the military.

Leah, 22, is a Long Island princess used to getting what she wants. She likes attention, knows how to get into parties and is pursuing a fashion career after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Mallory, 19, is the virgin of the group. She gave up a soccer scholarship at Iowa State to take part in "The Real World," and she's ready to experience things outside her previously regimented life.

Simon, 18, is the youngest of the group. He grew up in a small town outside Dublin, Ireland, in a close-knit family. He met his boyfriend a few weeks before moving to Paris and will try to stay faithful.

In other news, Jae-Ha Kim of the Chicago Sun Times sat down with Kyle (Chicago) and asked him 5 Questions:

After watching his own life melodramatically played out on MTV as one of the Chicago cast members of "The Real World," Lincolnshire's Kyle Brandt is ready to tackle another kind of soap opera. The 24-year-old actor has a three-year contract, starting today, to portray Philip Kiriakis on the long-running daytime drama "Days of Our Lives." The show airs at 1 p.m. weekdays on WMAQ-Channel 5.

During a break from shooting, Brandt phoned from Los Angeles to chat with GLARE about his fledgling career.

Q. 'Fess up--You never watched a soap opera in the real world, did you?

A. Not as an adult, but I remember being hooked on them when I was like 9 years old. My sister and I had a baby-sitter who watched "Days of Our Lives" and we would watch it with her. It's like crack TV. Once you become involved, you become hooked.

Q. What's harder--classes at Princeton or memorizing lines for the show?

A. Princeton. I've always been good at memorizing lines. Even when I was a little kid, I'd hear something once and could recite it back pretty easily.

Q. On "Friends," Joey is a star on "Days of Our Lives." Ever want to share a scene with him?

A. [Laughs.] It'd be fun doing a scene with Dr. Drake Ramoray, but I don't think Matt LeBlanc is going to be making an appearance on the show. It's funny 'cause "Friends" is set in New York, so a lot of people think "Days" is shot in New York.

Q. Do your feelings get hurt when people refer to you negatively based on your "Real World" stint?

A. Not really. When you're on a show like that you're basically there for people to rip apart. I don't blame anyone for doing that. I watch those things and scream at the TV telling them how much they suck. It's fun to call them idiots. A girl on the "Days of Our Lives" cast said she couldn't stand me on "The Real World." Now we're best friends.

Q. Uh huh. Have you dated her, or any of your other cast members yet?

A. No! [Laughs] I have a girlfriend. (Note: This is Lori (Back to New York)) Besides, I've heard only bad things about inter-cast dating. I'm not going there.


This is also off the wire: Apparently, the London Observer is reporting that BMP settled in a neighborhood in New York's West Village last week at 45 Charles Street. A spokesperson for BMP was recently asked about the situation and said that it was policy not to comment on shows in production. But apparently, she acknowledged that there was a Real World related project going on. Strange, but oddly interesting.

Cara (Chicago) is still around... Instead of trying to make it into the entertainment business, Cara speaks on behalf of GOAL, which is a national campaign to deal with depression. In the tour, she admits of problems with being depressed during the show and taking antidepressants.

Those who have subscribed to MTV.com's postcard just recieved information from the Real World Gnome. The Gnome is off to Paris to find pictures of the house and will be sending pictures to those who signed up. Go to the Paris website to sign up.

Who can forget when the Real World/Road Rules Challengers jumped off the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas? Kat (London) supposedly broke the world record in bungee jumping. Well, the Road Rulers in the South Pacific will have the opportunity to do the same again when they bungee jump off Sydney, Australia's AMP Tower. Check out the AMP Tower at this site.

TV Guide has confirmed that BMP will film two more seasons of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Click here.

Casting deadline has been extended to May 19. Go to BMP's site for information.

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

News... Well, as the new Battle is filming this summer... Be sure to find the new Road Rules cast on this season of the Battle. Paris most likely will not be invited to partake in this summer's challenge, as the past two last challenges have not included either Chicago or Las Vegas as to even out the numbers of seasons represented on the show. So plan to see New York through Las Vegas and USA Tour 1 through South Seas on the Challenge.

Check out the following websites: RW/RR Updates and Trishelle's Fan Club.

And we reported that Matt (New Orleans) was going to be on the new Battle this summer. Well, he mentions it on one of his journals.

For those of you who want to see the EW article with Colin, here it is:

Frat Chance


Colin M. exposes ''Real World'' editing tricks -- The buff ''Hawaii'' vet just won a share of the ''Battle of the Sexes'' cash and has a new sex book. EW.com lets him rail about the show he loves to hate by Josh Wolk



THE 'REAL' DEAL It's a cold ''World,'' says Colin


After battling Puck, Ruthie, Eric Nies, and the rest of the Bunim/Murray cradle-to-the-gravers for a month on ''The Real World/Road Rules Battle of the Sexes,'' Colin Mortensen (with teammates Jamie and Mark) walked away with a share of the $150,000 grand prize and a new car. That doesn't mean the 23-year-old respects the series, to which the ''Real World: Hawaii'' vet had vowed never to return: He regularly lampoons it on his website, Colins World where he is also selling his new book, ''A New Ladies' Man,'' a frank, graphic, and humorous collection of advice for young men on ''how to get a girl interested in you, and what to do when she's interested and interested in sex.''

Considering how much you slam ''The Real World'' on your website, why did you decide to do ''Battle of the Sexes''?
They've called me for the last three and a half years [for ''Challenges''], but this time I had a vested interest and a game plan. I have my book, and if you've got some kind of buzz, it's gonna be a lot easier to sell copies. So I got in my frat-guy mode -- short hair, clean-shaven face, in good shape. If I'm gonna give them an image, I'm only gonna give them the same one they already have.

You sound very savvy about ''Real World'' editing, but it seems like very few of the other returnees learned anything from their first time.
Put it this way: If you're still on that show and you're 34, the savviness has gotta be lacking.... I don't think they're horrible guys. I think they're very involved with themselves, so they give the producers everything. They spend their time running their mouths off, and what they don't understand is the producers are gonna cut that and turn you into any character they want.

Would you ever advise your teammates to watch what they say?
People would come back from their interviews and say, ''They asked me a question about you.'' They can say whatever they want about me; that's what I signed up for. But I would go, ''Say what you like, but you're gonna look like the a--hole. It's never the person who's being talked about, it's the person who says it who looks negative.'' The only reason [the men's team] had the scheme to vote out the guy with the lowest score every week is because a couple of the more mature guys were like, ''I won't be caught dead sitting in a group like a 14-year-old with two other guys as we go, 'Well, what about that guy, he's pretty weak.'''

Are you very wary about what you say during those one-on-one interviews?
My mind was like was a machine. They would ask me a question, I would stop, phrase it in my mind, understand how that could be perceived, and begin. A director said, ''If you just free-flow, it's a lot easier, we get better stuff.'' I was like, ''Are you kidding me? If I free-flow, you f--- me! I'm gonna wait here, plan my response, tell you my sentence, and if you don't want to use it, fine.'' When Puck left the show [after smashing his room], he didn't give them an exit interview, he told them to f--- off. So they said to me in my interview, ''Don't you think it was really aggressive and violent the way Puck left?'' And I started laughing, and I said, ''Objection, your honor. Leading the witness?''

Well, for drama they can always go to people like Jisela, who got worked up about a challenge where you just had to hold your breath underwater.
I know! And she was under the water for 14 seconds! But who the hell thought that challenge up? Who said, ''We need really exciting television. I got it! We'll see if they can hold their breath!'' What kind of TV is that? And still shots of people sitting on ice? People hanging upside down? Are you serious? Who thought that up? And why were they ever hired? The sad thing is, they're making more than their talent.

And yet the bulk of the show is dedicated to these challenges, and you never even see some of the contestants.
There are so many people that even I have seen in interviews and been like, ''Oh, are they still on this?'' Like Jamie [from ''Real World: New Orleans''], who is f---ing hilarious. Seeing him on the show is my favorite part: You just see his ass with a beard in the background walking around. He had just spent 30 days in the desert by himself, where he pitched a tent for 30 days, drank water, ate oats, and meditated all day. That's some interesting s---. But why don't we find out anything about who he is now or why is he so far out?

Well, they were busy focusing on Puck.
The first day Puck got there, he went up to one of the other cast members and said, ''Hey, I'm Puck. This is my show.'' And it IS, it's Puck's show until he decides to leave. Bunim/Murray has this love/hate thing with him -- he's the only reason people are watching this show.

I loved watching Jon Murray having to adjudicate whether David could spit on Puck to keep Puck on the show. I imagined him repeating to himself in his head, ''Remember, these people made me a millionaire...''
He's a grown-ass man, negotiating a spitting deal between other grown men! At one point, you have to look yourself in the eye and go, ''I don't know what kind of life I'm leading.''

Also, Julie, a fan, wrote in saying that the E! True Hollywood Story is being done on the Real World. They are currently interviewing castmembers and it is unclear when it will air.

Melissa posted this at her site yesterday:

"Rumors are hysterical. We don’t know who started it, but… Veronica was told by Rachel that BMP was filming two challenges this year, one this summer and one in September. In the car on the way to the airport, Veronica said, “It’s so funny how rumors get started…” and told me about what she heard that night and that Elka later told her the same, but wasn’t sure about the information or the validity of the source. We laughed about it. Then, when we got to the airport, we saw Mark and totally casually, not having any idea that we just talked about the ridiculousness of the rumor, he goes, “So, did you hear about the September challenge?” Veronica and I looked at each other and started cracking up. I’m sure this phantom September challenge is a creation of somebody at a desk at BMP who has to call cast members back that they originally invited but then changed their minds about. Kinda like a consolation prize. Two challenges? No way. Or some former cast member has entirely too much BMP on the mind."

Interesting...

For those of you who are asking, the people at the reunion are Colin, Mark, Jamie, Antoine, Shane, Blair, Ruthie, Ellen, Lori, Melissa, Genesis, and Veronica. James and Emily declined to attend.

Apparently, you need AOL to see this article that EW did with Colin. Click if you got AOL!

And Lindsay (Seattle) is now appearing on CNN. (As we reported to you several weeks ago.) Check CNN for entertainment updates by the firecracker from Pier 70.

And a fan is setting up his own Battle of the Sexes for fun. Click here to see his site.

We reported on this way back when... But Adam (The Quest) and Timmy (USA - Tour 2) are on ECO Challenge this year. They join Ethan and Jenna from CBS' Survivor. Eco Challenge airs May 5 thru May 8 at 10pm EST on USA.

A Road Ruler in a commercial. Devon (USA - Tour 2) who is in several other commercials is in a Miller Lite commercial that airs during the NBA Playoffs. Thanks to Dennis for that.

And we got an email from Anna May who attended the Reunion. She definitely enjoyed the taping which lasted most of the day. Antoine and Jamie were two castmembers who got up and close and personal with the audience. While there were others who weren't so nice. Antoine even hung out with some audience members after the taping!

Battle of the Sexes is now over! It looks like not many castmembers went to the actual reunion. The flipbook at MTV.com of the reunion shows interesting, interesting things. Ellen seems to be engaged now (Do you think she'll invite Puck to the wedding?) Jamie no longer has a beard! And he has long hair. Genesis broke up with Paige, her wife, and now has a new girlfriend Beth (Not Beth S. from the show.) It looks like only 12 castmembers or so actually attended the reunion.

The Paris page at MTV.com is up, with little information!

And we hope you have a good day!

THIS IS THE NEWS OF THE YEAR: Our site has hit a million visitors! That's right... Over a million websurfers have laid their eyes on the Real World/Road Rules Blog. This number of a million actually comes from the counter being put on the site in mid-June 2002. That's right. In less than a year, over a million loyal fans have read news and information on your favorite Real World and Road Rules castmembers.

The site actually has it roots in June of 1998. Our webmasters began with the Real World/Road Rules Network which transformed into The Real World Road. Eventually, we turned into the Blog and have been dedicated to bringing you news ever since. So keep coming, because we hope to serve a million more people!

Hey, check out this fansite dedicated to Theo (Chicago).

Anyway, I'm sure that you are hearing that a new Challenge is being filmed this upcoming summer. So far, Trishelle (Las Vegas and Theo (Chicago) have been confirmed. Now, Matt (New Orleans) is supposedly joining the ranks in this year's Challenge. The new Challenge will probably air January 2004.

Kyle (Chicago), fresh off the news that he will be the new addition to Days of Our Lives as Phillip Kirkais, will be appearing on ET on MTV next week to promote his appearance. Thanks to Julie for the news.

Apparently, Arissa, Trishelle (Las Vegas) and Katie (The Quest) will join the ranks of Beth S. (Los Angeles), Flora (Miami), Veronica (Semester At Sea), and Jisela (The Quest) as official Real World/Road Rules Playmates. The issue will be out in June, but is considered the July issue.

And yes, for everyone who has been asking for the past few months. Casting for The Real World 14 (It's unclear if Road Rules will continue on as well.) is now on. The deadline for casting tapes is May 12, so hurry up and go to BMPs Casting Site.

Also, some interesting news about Road Rules. It seems like there is going to be a crest involved (just like The Quest). However, its a different kind of crest. Anyway, the crest has some crazy design involved and each castmember has the option of getting the crest tattoo if at the end of the trip (if they make it that far.) It still functions as a "piece" and there are 12 pieces to the crest. It's sort of a Road Rules tattoo. The last cast to get Road Rules tattoos was Australia with Shayne, Chadwick, and Kefla getting the Road Rules sign and the Christina, Piggy and Susie getting their own individual tattoos.

MTV has put up the Road Rules: South Seas website...



Meet Abram, Cara, Christena, Dave, Donell, and Marybeth as they cruise through Tahiti, Fiji, and New Zealand. This is an adventure you won't forget! Go to the Road Rules website. Road Rules premieres May 26!

The article coming from NIU's newspaper stating that Trishelle and Arissa would be appearing in the June issue is not right. Apparently, both ladies did not show up in the June issue. Read the article that said they would. Anyway, apparently they won't even show up in the July issue...

Since news broke that TVGuide came out with pictures of The Real World Paris house... It has been scanned onto the internet left and right. For the most ready source of the pictures, go to Reality World TV. The house is quaint, nice and is a 1869 house, 30 minutes outside of Paris. The house has hints of the Back to New York house.

Oh, no... Them's are fighting words. One of the twins from the Real Cancun recently did an interview with TV Guide and one of them went as far as to call Trishelle a slut... Here's the article... On further notice, they say that they will pose for Playboy if the opportunity comes along.

And what have your favorite Battle of the Sexes girls done since leaving Jamaica? Well, two Filipinos of the show, Ruthie and Melissa are appearing on Fillipino-run clothing sites. That's right. Check out Ruthie and Melissa modeling off some duds at these sites. Tsinilas Clothing and Pnoy Apparel. Thanks to Nadia for that. (Note: Lori is also half Filipino... Sorry for the mix-up.)

Mohammed and Rachel (San Francisco) will be on tonight's episode of Street Smarts. Check that out if you have the chance.

Know how Trishelle and Arissa are set to be in Playboy's June issue. Well, Sarah Kozer is set to be on the cover of the June issue. Most likely, Hef and company will be pulling off some reality television theme for their June issue. Check for it soon.

We've been hearing that TVGuide has pictures of the Paris house... Is this true? Has anyone else seen these pictures?

And finally... Remember, Rebecca's (Seattle) singing career... Well, it seems the days of "Innocence" and hanging out with high profile stars like Sir Mix A Lot are not over. Rebecca has joined a band with none other than Matrix star Keanu Reeves. Reeves, who has his own band, Dogstar, has recently formed a band with Paulie Kosta, Rob Mailhouse, and Rebecca named "Becky". Check out their site.

And as part of Reality TV Week on Street Smarts... Rachel and Mohammed will be appearing on the show. Check your local listings. (Thanks to Jessica for that info.)

Ruthie, Ellen, Lori, Mark, Jamie and Colin are the final participants of Battle of the Sexes. Congratulations!

And you can visit the new Trishelle fan club at the new fan website.

Someone is starting an online game with Real World/Road Rules trivia and they need help. If you are interested in helping, contact Hookup1407@aol.com. To see or play the actual game go here. A new review site also sprouted up done by Doug, go here for that.

More information on the Kendal (Campus Crawl)/Nick Zano dating rumors. Kendal recently posted on her site that she recently went to a taping of her boyfriend's pilot. Well, Nick is filming a pilot called "Sweet Potato Queens" with Delta Burke. Thanks to Erin for that piece of information.

A special is being filmed in the beginning of May for VH1. The special will interview and follow several casts of the Real World and get the behind the scenes perspective of the show. Watch for that. It is uncertain when it will air.

And the Challenge is definitely being shot soon! We just got confirmation on that and more information is due to come soon.

The Real Cancun premieres in theaters today. (I don't know why they just didn't call it The Real World: Cancun) They keep advertising it as From the Producers of the Real World: The Real Cancun... Anyway, this is reality television's first venture into major motion pictures. We'll see how it does. The Quest, the other reality-TVish, spring break movie that is being produced by some other company has been put on hold. Check out The Real Cancun and look for Casey who supposedly hooked up with Trishelle while she was hosting Maxim's Spring Break Party in Cancun.

Kyle (Chicago) will start his turn as Philip Kiriakis on the soap opera Days of Our Lives on May 13. Check your local listings and support Real World alumni! Congratulations to Kyle for landing this role.

Theo (Chicago) and Trishelle (Las Vegas) were both at NIU last Tuesday giving a speaking engagement. Among the things mentioned, Theo now has a girlfriend. And Trishelle is currently single... Those rumors of her dating Andy Dick are UNTRUE. Trishelle mentioned that she and Arissa (Las Vegas) will be joining the likes of Jisela (The Quest), Veronica (Semester At Sea), Beth S (Los Angeles)., and Flora (Miami) as they will be posing in the June issue of Playboy. And finally both Trishelle and Theo say that they will be heading to another exotic locale this summer to film another Battle of the Sexes... It is unclear if they are doing another Sexes series. But they will probably change the format once again. (Good vs. Evil? Old casts vs. New Casts?) We will see. But it seems that they already selected the castmembers for the next challenge. All this in the following article NIU Northern Star. Thanks to Nan for that article... Exciting information! A Playboy issue and another Battle coming soon!

Regarding the reunion... All of the castmembers have been invited back, but it won't be all thirty-six castmembers. Word on the street is that some castmembers are passing up this reunion special for various reasons. The show is filming this Sunday in the MTV studios in New York City... But those who won't attend include one of the winners and a girl who was almost in every single inner circle.

And YES... An episode of Friends was rerun last night that had Teck in it. He played one of the interns. We reported on that when the episode originally aired.

A good site that promises to review new episodes of The Real World: Paris and Road Rules: South Seas and is currently reviewing Battle of the Sexes can be viewed here. An interesting feature of the site is that they post Melissa, Colin and Lori's reviews on the same page. Some problems with the size of the page though. Good site overall.

And Frank (Las Vegas) will be serving as a celebrity judge for UCLA's annual Spring Sing. Cara (Chicago) was last year's celebrity judge from The Real World and Frank takes over this year. The Spring Sing will be held on Friday, May 2 at UCLA's Los Angeles Tennis Center. For directions and ticket information, visit the Spring Sing website.

There is going to be a reunion special for sure. MTV recently posted on their site that all 36 members of Battle of the Sexes would be in studio for a special reunion. So I guess that dispels rumors of the inner circle reunion. Although, Colin did say something about calling Ellen out on one of her lies later on in the show. Here is the link

And remember that Kendal had a new boyfriend. We’ll she mentioned that her boyfriend’s name is Nick and he could be spotted on MTV Movie House Shorts. There is only one Nick on MTV Movie House Shorts, and that’s Nick Zano! It hasn’t been confirmed yet. But thanks to Gianina for pointing that out to us. Zano also serves as a VJ sometimes for MTV.

And yes, this rumor seems to be true… Trishelle may have a bit part in The Real Cancun. Time magazine recently reported that Casey, one of the castmembers of the movie hooked up with Trishelle when she was down in Cancun hosting Maxim’s Spring Break Party. However, it is 100% likely that we won’t see her. BMP is producing the movie and a crossover would be highly unlikely. Time claims that Trishelle won’t be appearing in the movie because she’s under contract for other things.

And Tami (Los Angeles) has been spotted by several people in a Pier 1 Commercial. She now has short hair… But you can probably recognize her.

There is a new site up that promises to update you on every episode of Real World, Road Rules, and Challenges... It's here, Check it out. It just started out.

And Colin mentioned on his site that Melissa and Antoine may have had a little fling while they were in Jamaica. He also mentions that MTV might mention it on its "wrap up" special. Does this mean that they are not keeping the same format as last year where they reunited the final inner circles... OR does it simply mean that Melissa is a part of the female inner circle (because we know that Antoine will be leaving for sure...

No word on that Ruthie rumor yet. It looks highly unlikely that she will leave Jamaica.

So, half of the Battle of the Sexes episode was cut off last night on the east coast. And played from the beginning. They didn't show who got voted off. Emily did end up leaving and Genesis and Shane were both voted out of Jamaica. This leaves Ruthie, Ellen, Lori, Melissa and Colin, Mark, Jamie, and Antoine as the final participants of the Battle of the Sexes.

The Trishelle episode of Punk'd is airing round the clock. But Steven was involved with it. Apparently, they set it up so she couldn't get into the MTV Network building in Santa Monica. The metal detector kept going off. Eventually, Ashton Kutcher showed up and she realized what was up.

Speaking of Trishelle, you can now join the official Trishelle fan club. It is run by Heather and you can directly email her at AMCFAN7@aol.com. You can also visit her webpage for more information.

And speaking of Trishelle... (It's just a Trishelle day...) Andy Dick went on Craig Kilborn saying that they were in a relationship. No one knows if this is true... We will know soon enough.

AND.. finally MTV announced that the Real World Paris would premiere Tuesday June 3rd at 10 PM and Road Rules South Seas would premiere Monday May 26th at 10 PM. Thanks to Doug for those dates.

Trishelle and Steven were on Punk'd the other night. I haven't watched it. But apparently, the trick is being played on Trishelle who then calls Steven to help her out. I will watch it this weekend to give you the skinny on what happens.

For those of you asking... THEY ARE NOT CASTING FOR THE NEXT EDITION OF THE REAL WORLD. Casting for Real World 14/Road Rules 13 has not yet begun. But once it does, you can count on us to update you on when they are casting. We will also tell you what you need to do in order for you to be in the running. The Real World is highly rumored to be somewhere in Texas for its 14th season. But who knows? It can be anywhere.

Chadwick (Australia) is extending his 15 minutes of fame. On June 15, Chadwick will be part of an AMC special called Fame: The New Reality. It follows what happened to Tonya (Big Brother 3) and George (Big Brother 1). Most likely, it will deal with Chadwick and his foray into his acting career. Holly (Maximum Velocity Tour) will be mentioned as well. If you were wondering about Tonya from BB3, she's posing in Playboy's June issue.

Anti-war sentiment... Before Americans were banning French's mustard... The Real World was long gone. Apparently, BMP finished filming The Real World: Paris months ago. This according to E!Online's Kristin. It actually makes perfect sense in the long range of things. Both The Real World Paris and Road Rules South Seas are set to premiere in early June.

Clarification: Melissa being on top of Ruthie before the Sargent Says mission is BEFORE any points were ever awarded. This is in regard to the spoiler information down below.

This is about the last strategic information we posted: (Highlight to read)
Many people are confirming that Melissa being on top of Ruthie on the scoreboard was in the beginning of the Sargent Says mission. In fact, no one has really confirmed the final 3, but most are saying that it will probably include Ruthie, Ellen and Lori. Now, this is assuming that Emily drops out (like Kristin/Wanda from E-Online said. But many, many people are seriously doubting Wanda's magic touch, since she has been wrong with spoilers before. Only time will tell.

Blast from the Past: Tami (Los Angeles) has been on the Smoking Gun. And she's not the first RWer either. Apparently, Tami's ex-husband Kenny Anderson, who she recently divorced is being sued by his ex-mistress. Tami is actually named in the suit as the wife that Kenny agreed to divorce in 1998. He never did. Apparently, Kenny promised his mistress that he'd leave Tami, buy her a multi-million dollar house and a whole bunch of other promises he never kept.

Tami is actually doing well for herself. She is raising two beautiful daughters and is working on her film and TV career. She appeared in several feature films alongside rappers Nas and Ice Cube. She also guest VJed for MTV a couple of times and appeared on the Steve Harvey Show and Drew Carey. She recently wrote a script as her life as an NBA wife. We wish good luck to Tami!

Quite the controversy... Many people have been set ablaze by Kendal (Campus Crawl) and her recent post on her website. Kendal referred to her "man", who we thought was non-existant. Kendal dated Blair (The Quest) briefly while Battle of the Sexes was being filmed, but they have since been said to be broken up. Her new "man", who she just went to Vegas with also finshed filming a pilot for a new television series.

Now, the rest of this crap is just some thinking out loud stuff that concerns Battle. It contains somewhat of a spoilerish type of info, highlight to read:

So, I'm pretty sure we can find out who the final three girls are in the Battle. Now, I think we can all agree that Genesis is out of the running. That was made pretty clear with her forty point defecit. So that leaves five girls, Ellen, Ruthie, Melissa, Emily, and Lori. Well, Kristin from E-Online said that when James ends up leaving, Emily ends up going along with him... voting herself out. So that leaves Ellen, Ruthie, Melissa, and Lori. Colin said on his website that both Mark and Ellen are present at the Battle finale special. Last year, only the remaining inner circles were present in the final reunion. We know that Mark is one of the final three guys (along with Colin). So that means Ellen is in the inner circle. So, out of the three girls left... Ruthie, Melissa, and Lori, two of them are going to be in the inner circle. Melissa made a comment on her website about Shane leaving the Battle. She made this comment while still in Jamaica. (She posted about two or three times while filming went on.) So Melissa either outlasts Shane or gets sent home with him. Lori keeps on saying on her website, that interesting things will happen. And things are going to be twisted around. (Maybe it's a hint about her being in the final three.) And also, someone emailed me about this... If you look at the preview episode of the season, they briefly show the inner circle scoreboard, with Melissa being first and Ruthie being second. As far as I know, this has not happened yet. (If someone could actually confirm this... it'd be great.) So, there's a lot of small hints for you to find out who the final three girls are. Hopefully, we'll find out before they air it.

So, Colin and the gayness... I'm pretty sure his comfort with his sexuality doesn't mean that Colin is actually gay. It's more of a joke kind of thing. Anyway, a lot of people have been emailing like crazy. And I have yet to find evidence or proof that Colin is indeed, gay. He's straight! Just trying to clear that up. Read the review that led up to this craziness. Have a good weekend everybody.

Mike, a fan, spotted Msaada on the $1000 Pyramid. Does anyone remember Msaada? She was on the Maximum Velocity Tour? She is one of the many Road Rulers who haven't been seen in ages... They should do a Road Rules reunion. Anyway, she looks very different from when she was on the show. Last we heard, she was hosting Homework Help on the Los Angeles Public Access Channel.

And... many people have been telling me that Colin (Hawaii) just came out of the closet along with half of the other guys on Battle of the Sexes... Go to his website and read his review.

Anyone see Theo's constant wearing of his Royal Family gear?? Well, Theo (Chicago) is setting up his own website at this link. There are no shirts for sale as of now. But we have been assured that they are coming soon. Thanks to the fan who brought this to our attention.

The last episode of Battle of the Sexes found Eric Nies and Anne packing their bags. With Antoine, Shane, James, Melissa, Lori and Genesis left out of the inner circles, it's going to be a real Battle to try and push those people into the inner circles. However, Lori comments over at her site, Everything Lori, that next week's mission is really, really LAME. But it contains some interesting twists. If I were you, I'd be watching.

Have been waiting for the Real World to hit the big screen? Well, it has in some ways... The Real Cancun (which is similar but not to be confused with The Real World: Cancun) is set to premiere in theaters April 25. Check out the site at The Real Cancun.

Just a clarification: the Steve we mentioned that was living in Los Angeles was from Las Vegas, not Steve from The Quest. He now resides in New York. And a new fan site came out on Kendal's domain. It's right here. Designed by Jaxon, the same girl who designed Kendal's site.

So, Frank is also dating a former Road Ruler according to E! Online's Wanda/Kristin?!? What is this madness?

And someone pointed out to me that Julie (New Orleans) had her band Bunkbed Incident (The shirt she wore when she got kicked out of Jamaica.) has been picked up by a major record label. That's right, Capitol Records picked up Julie and her band. She'll probably start touring more or will release a CD soon!

BOTS episode last night (No reviews up yet) and Reunion Las Vegas tonight... Keep watching!

Thanks to Snow for this article which appeared in the Las Vegas Review Journal:

"Real World" cast decides to get real now that show is over; Norm Clarke
Las Vegas Review/Journal 04-03-2003

"Real World" cast decides to get real now that show is over
Byline: Norm Clarke
Edition: Final
Section: CITY

They're out in the real world now, trying to cash in on their new fame.

Six cast members of "Real World" Las Vegas reunited on Tuesday night in the Palms suites to watch the finale of their highly rated MTV show shot in Las Vegas.
Alton and Irulan, who fell in love on the show, brought their 6- week-old bloodhound puppy, Duke.

Only Trishelle, who had a smoldering thing going with Steven, was missing. She is in Amsterdam, touring with Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew.

"That was over before the show was over," said Steven.

So what are they doing now?

Brynn is living in Portland, Ore., engaged to Austin, whom she met during the show. He popped the question Jan. 1 on Fremont Street.

Arissa is living in Las Vegas and dating an ex-Marine named "Rock," who is the personal bodyguard to Palms owner George Maloof. She's working on a demo for a hip-hop CD.

Irulan, who lives with Alton in Hollywood, is working on a record deal, too, and has a high-powered agent, ICM.

Steven and Frank are living in Los Angeles, as well. Frank is attending grad school at the University of Southern California. Steven hopes to get into radio. "He's too ugly for TV," needled Frank.

Meanwhile, Alton is keeping up with the war in Iraq. "I've got eight friends over there. San Diego (his hometown) is a ghost town."

He's supporting it, reluctantly. "We've had to fight wars before, but this isn't one of them. I think we could have done it differently."

Hola! Had a good weekend? We did too... :) Anyway, to clear up that update on Trishelle:

Trishelle is now rooming with Katie (The Quest). They live in the same neighborhood as Blair (The Quest), Adam (The Quest), Steve (The Quest), Frank (Las Vegas), and Alton and Irulan (Las Vegas). Trishelle could not make it to the reunion because she was in Mexico the whole month of March filming Spring Break Cancun with MAXIM Magazine. She just finished working with MTVs Jackass in Amsterdam and Switzerland on their European tour. Frank, Steven and Trishelle are all traveling around the United States doing promotional and club appearances. And she is involved with charity work for the Elizabeth Glaser Pedatric AIDS Foundation. Good luck to Trishelle and there are many of us hoping to see more of her in the future! (To book cast member appearances, go to World Wide Talent Group.)

Kyle (Chicago) will now have a recurring role on Days of Our Lives as the new Philip, set to air in May. This is courtesy of Soapcity.com.

Confirmation about the Frank/Steven thing. They both live in LA but are NOT currently roommates. Irulan and Alton both live in LA as well.

Kay provided some information about the Trishelle hookup with a Road Rules cast member. Apparently its none other than the Ellen-teasing Adam. Kay told us that Trishelle posted a message on the EcoChallenge Message Board that was for Adam... It looks like they really are together OR were together. Trishelle also mentioned Katie from Adam's same season. Interesting to know.

And for those of you emailing about how Frank attending USC and the whole New York deal... Well, this comes from none other than the mouth of Frank and Steven themselves at their MTV.com profiles. Frank deferred grad school for a year. So he probably won't be attending USC until this upcoming September! He says something about moving back to New York after the show on his profile as well. You can check it out here. And assuming that Steven's profile is recent, he and Frank are still roommates. So go here to read his profile. I believe the real scoop is that Frank did not attend USC this year and is living in Los Angeles with Steven and Frank's friend Joe. Frank probably momentarily moved back to New York before moving out to LA.

According to a fan (Julie), there is an interesting sentence at Arissa's site. In the section titled "My Wordz", she says that you will be able to see me again, with a laugh included. It might be reference to an upcoming challenge. If BMP is planning a new challenge, they are in the planning stages as we speak. If it happens (AND it's very likely that it will) cast members from Las Vegas to New York and South Seas to USA Season 1 will be included. Ideas for the Challenge included "Battle of Good vs. Evil" which Jon Murray had mentioned. Personally, I believe that is a great idea. However, it would be a little difficult to select who would be "good" and who would be "evil". And who would want to see a team of "goody goodies"? Anyway, I think it would be great just to get all the past castmembers who would never really do the show again. IE (Andre (New York), Aaron (Los Angeles), Dominic (Los Angeles), Tami (Los Angeles), Melissa (Miami), Irene (Seattle), Stephen (Seattle), Matt (Hawaii), Kaia (Hawaii), Justin (Hawaii), Effie (USA Tour 2), Erika (Islands)....) I mean, we haven't seen those people in a while and some of them HATE the Real World/Road Rules or are having personal troubles.

And then of course, you'd throw Emily in there just for fun. Emily should have her own website. It'd be interesting to see what's going on with her.

And then, if you haven't had enough of your Real World Vegas... the full season is coming out on DVD May 20th. Basically it includes 4 discs, contains all 28 episodes, and Bonus Content: bonus footage, house tour, cast video profiles, and episode summaries. Retail Price: $49.99. Special thanks to Mike for that info.

So what's up with the Las Vegas cast? Frank moved out of LA... Didn't go to USC and is now living in New York. Steven shortly moved to Austin for a while, but he will join Frank in New York as his roommate. Arissa is still living in Vegas. Alton and Irulan are still living in Los Angeles. Trishelle is supposedly dating a former Road Ruler. And Brynn is moving back to Oregon (from LA) to be with Austin, who she is engaged to and is expecting a child with soon.

On a side note as well, I believe that Irulan and Alton are the second hookup on the show. Colin and Amaya were the first and there have been a lot of flukes in between. But I believe realtionships like (Trishelle/Steven, Kevin/Lori, Kyle/Keri) are not real. However, I do believe I read somewhere that the thing between Kyle and Keri was real and hot. However, they were VERY careful with what they showed to the cameras, because of Nicole. Well, that doesn't matter now, seeing as Kyle is with Lori now.

The Real World: Las Vegas auction is now going on at MTV.com. The cheapest things are at least $100.00. Two days left: Here's the link. All proceeeds go to charity.

Norman (New York/Battle of the Seasons) opened a site about his movie, The Wedding Video. The movie actually came sometime while Maximum Velocity Tour was still filming. And this was the movie that Beth S. mentioned when she was kicked off at Cabo San Lucas. The site tells you about how you can order the movie and updates on the cast members that were in the movie. Apparently... Syrus (Boston) is now married. (How could the ultimate Real World player get married??) and he's working with Sony in Santa Monica. Heather (New York) released a new album. Lindsay (Seattle) is now actually working at the Bert Show in Atlanta and as an entertainment anchor for CNN. Rachel and Sean are living in Wisconsin where Sean is the DA. They have two beautiful children, Evita and Xavier. Norman is living in LA working as an art director. Mike (Miami) is living in Los Angeles and just got his piloting license. Cory (San Francisco) is now married and teaching in Anaheim. Julie (New York) is now a mother and lives in Birmingham, AL. Lars (London) is deejaying all around the world. But you can read all of that at Norman's website: The Wedding Video.

The ion lifesaver will be used next week. The girls decide to vote Genesis off (this is how its percieved in the preview for next week's ep.) and she is then given the ion. Interesting. IT would've been more interesting if they let Veronica use it.

To clear up some things:

Yes, Kelley (New Orleans) and Scott Wolf (of Party of Five fame) are dating and they have been dating for a while. It is unclear when Peter dropped out of the picture... But it was sometime after Kelley returned home from Cabo San Lucas, when she filmed Battle of the Sexes. They were seen at Oscar parties in NYC a couple of days ago.

Speaking engagements and questions about speaking engagements of former Real World and Road Rules castmembers can be found at Worldwide Talent Group.

And finally, Las Vegas ended tonight. Probably the first time every castmember left loving everyone on the show.

So, the Las Vegas reunion was recently filmed and the Real Worlder who failed to show up this time... None other than Trishelle. There always seems to be one missing from these things.

You heard it here first: After appearing on The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Janet (Seattle) resurfaces. Janet who appears on Channel 1 News, the educational news program, only made an appearance on The Real World 10th Anniversary Special after her stint on the Challenge. Janet will be appearing in Freaky Friday alongside the Parent Trap's Lindsay Lohan and True Lies actress Jamie Lee Curtis. Janet will play Dr. Mary Ann Smyth and it is unclear what her purpose in the film will be. Janet joins Jacinda as a Real Worlder releasing a major motion picture this year. Jacinda (London) will star in The Human Stain alongside Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins & Ladder 49 alongside Joaquin Pheonix.

I apologize for the lack of updates in the past week. It was a pretty crazy week for the Real World... Who wants to slap Emily, Ruthie, and Ellen for that decision??? Kristin from E-Online said a long, long time ago that Emily ends up leaving BOTS because of James. (She ends up voting herself off...) And what about The Real World? Who thought that this season was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long?!? (That was because they increased the number of episodes this year.) I mean... How many times can Irulan and Alton break up? We're back. And we hope you check in regularly for updates!

Ever wonder what happened to Adam (The Quest) and Timmy (USA - Tour II)? We'll they're living life with Ethan and Jenna from Survivor. Check it out!

Ever wonder what happen to Pier 70 of Seattle fame? Take a look here. It's been completely remodeled.

SPOILER - Highlight to read (It's about who wins BOTS):

Colin, Mark, and Jamie win the Battle of the Sexes.

A new website has been discovered: Chadwick (RR6)

Apparently, the two reported cast members who were in the process of finals, were cast in Road Rules: South Pacific. Both Ace and Cristina join the cast of Road Rules 12... Along with Donell.

Also, here's info on a new Battle of the Sexes mission.

If you're in the NY area and want to be a part of the Las Vegas Reunion, go here. Hurry!

Kristin from E-Online revealed something. This is actually something we reported wwwwwwayyyyyy long time ago: ;) These again, are SPOILERS. Mask your eyes and don't look if you don't want to see. Colin wins this year Battle. No big deal. And she actually revealed the first Road Ruler from the South Seas. His name is Donell and he's a hysterical, overweight guy. She says that this is the first overweight cast member. Which I dont think is neccesarily true... And she also met up with them in New Zealand (not the South Pacific). BMP was really lucky to get this filming done. With the war and what not, it probably isn't the safest place for an American cast and crew to be. Filming is probably wrapped on the show. She also made the comment that only five out of the six were at the promo. She didn't specify why. But who knows?

There's been question as to which three female cast members will make it to the final inner circle. Colin has commented that Mark and Ellen do both appear on the reunion special for the Battle. So, if they run the same format as last year's reunion, that means Mark, Colin, and Ellen all make it to the inner circle. But, who are the other two ladies who arrive in the Inner Circle? Well, it's been speculated that both Melissa and Lori make it because of the fact that they both say they lasted a month in Jamaica on their websites. However, that means that Ruthie, who is considered to be a front runner doesn't make it. Doubtful. I'd say the lead is between these four ladies though. Probably expect Jamie to take the third spot for the males.

Just one of them things that we noticed on one of our "bored runs". If you are thinking of inviting a Real World or Road Rules cast member to your school or event, don't do so with out looking at this. Yes, it's about Julie and Melissa. (We were just bored. But it was one of those things where you're like "WOW" if you haven't read it before. Which we haven't.) To our knowledge, Julie hasn't listed any speaking engagements on her website since that first episode ended. She's only done appearances with her band, nothing to do with the Real World. Bored? So are we.

Lori has posted her synposis of tonight's episode. A couple of spoilers! Everything Lori

Ayanna (Semester At Sea) has her own website.

Also, a Real World: Las Vegas reunion is in the works. It is probably going to be filmed in the next couple of days. Las Vegas is nearing the end of its run. Also expect a New Orleans, Back to New York and Chicago reunion as well. It'll be interesting to see Julie, Melissa, Kyle, Lori and Keri reunite all together in one place.

Rachel in Spring Break

A new website has been discovered, Andre (New York), Got Milkweed?

And apparently, Jamie, Eric Nies, Ruthie and Rachel (Campus Crawl) are filming a spring break segment for MTV. No official word on this.

Want a piece of Road Rules history? Now you can own one. Buy the Road Rules 11: Campus Crawl RV. YES, the RV! BMP put the RV up on E-bay. Here's the link. See where Shane slapped Darrell, where Kendal and Eric slept together. The place where they voted off Sarah.

After the Brynn panic attack episode on Tuesday night, she responds on the MTV Message Boards:

"I just want to clarify a few things...................
Wow, I agree that last nights episode came out of the woodwork, so to speak, I have now figured out that unless you are intimately involved with one of your roommates on this show, you will not be allowed a somewhat if any portrayl of your life! First of all, Ive been having Panic Attacks since I was 19. They only happen every now and then when my life starts to get overwhelming or it starts to change dramatically, and this show was dramatic! I did acctually go to the doctor twice while I was in Vegas for these "attacks". The doc confirmed that it was such, and gave me the option to go onto Paxil and Xanax. Now knowing that my mother, has been in rehab, more than once, for prescription drug addiction, including Xanax and pain killers, I am not one to really even take Ibuprophen, because I have grown up in the environment of addicted parents. So, I didnt take any of the docs advice, I knew that I had dealt with them before on my own, that there was now reason for me to turn to drugs now, especially on National Television, unlike Steven, who was on an antidepressant the whole time we were in Vegas and wouldnt tell anyone until after the show, just reitterates why I decided not to bring it there! The cameras were there for all of my visits and attacks, they chose what to show and what not to show, I have to control. I would however, turn my backs to the cameras while I was in the docs office, just because I thought it was fd up and how was I to know this doc would give me the correct diagnoses while he too was on camera, people fake, a lot, when they are on camera!!! I should know, I lived with a couple. Anyways, to further update my situation, my mother, who was not the woman in the picture that they showed, is out of rehab and is now working as a drug rehab counselor. I am engaged to Austin and we are expecting a baby in mid September. My anxiety and panic is still there and it too was hard for me to watch last night, not only because it was sad, but in fear of triggering another attack, I havent had one, in months, Ive done it all on my own, that is, controlled the attacks, via el natural! I wasnt implying that all of those on antidepressants are nut jobs, if that was the case my whole family and about 60% of americans would be crazy! I do feel those who have chosen to take these drugs are benefiting themselves and those around them and are most likely leading more successful and happy lives, my congrats to you! Take care, Brynn"

It's down! Colin ripped the review off his website. But you can still find the spoilers below.

I thought this was pretty funny, but there was no episode of BOTS tonight. However, Colin failed to note this fact and prematurely posted his review of the episode. The following are SPOILERS for the next episode:
Not too many things revealed. Christina and Eric N. are the ones chosen to go home. Veronica is disqualified from the mission. The mission is walking across these triangles things. She falls. And from what I gather, Anne, Christina, and Emily all talk -ish about Veronica the whole time. Only to let Christina go home. Christina, untastefully as said by Colin, gives props to both Emily and Anne in her goodbye speech.
Check it out at Colin's World. I'm sure it'll be up for a little while longer. At least through tomorrow afternoon.

For those of you who were wondering about the standings on Battle of the Sexes... Here they are after the Battle of the Opposite Sexes Mission:

Add one more cast member to the list: Malik has a website.

Kristin over at E!Online mentions something a little weird over at her web column. She mentions that next week she'll be flying down to Australia to meet with the new Road Rules cast. Correction: She says "Down Under", which I believe is Australia. The cast might be doing press... (But in Australia?!?) This most likely means that the season is about to begin shooting or end shooting. We'll see... Season premiere is in June.

Oh my goodness! Real World: Las Vegas The Complete Season will be out soon on DVD. After bringing the first season (New York) to DVD, producers decided to come out with the Las Vegas season. The 4-disc set is set a retail value of $49.99. A great gift for all Real World lovers! Keep your eye out for it!

The moment you are waiting for is finally here. While both seasons just began filming, The Real World: Paris and Road Rules: South Pacific already have premiere dates. According to Zap2it.com, "Road Rules XII: South Pacific" will be premiering May 26 and "The Real World Paris" will premiering June 3. Set your calendar right now!

A lot of Real World/Road Rules cast members were in tow at the UCLA Dance Marathon this past weekend. Castmembers like Mike (Back to New York), Kendal (Campus Crawl) and Blair (The Quest) help to raise $50,000 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Read about the event at Melissa's site and Mike's site.

The Real World: Texas? It looks like it. BMP is currently staking out locales for their 14th season. And Dallas and Austin seem to be front runners. Other locales in the past included Atlanta, Key West, and St. Louis. Usually, BMP ends up buying space in several cities, waiting until close to the season premieres to make a choice. For their 13th season, it was wildly speculated that it would take place in Atlanta. However, they quickly and quietly switched the city to Paris. Stay tuned to BMP for an official press release later on.

Wanna waste time? Bored out of your mind? Take some Real World quizzes here. It's a fun little site I stumbled upon. Some are actually hard.

Thanks for the huge response! We have recieved your emails and we will keep you updated on our decision within the weekend. Keep checking in this weekend... In news, David (New Orleans/BOTS) appeared on the Chapelle Show on Comedy Central. Chapelle (who is actually David E. (Los Angeles) cousin) did a sketch called the Mad Real World. It's funny and David does "C'mon Be Your Baby Tonight"... in the sketch. This classic song back in full force!

Looking for feedback on this one: We have several copies of Real World/Road Rules seasons on VHS tapes. Some are complete, others are incomplete. Parts of seasons may include Islands, Boston, Northern Trail, Seattle, Australia, Hawaii, Latin America, New Orleans, Maximum Velocity Tour, RR All Stars, Challenge and Challenge 2000. We were wondering if we put these tapes on E-bay, with most seasons being incomplete, would there be bidders for them? Email newrwroad@hotmail.com, if you are interested.

After last night's Battle episode, we got eleven more people left on each side. Check out Melissa, Lori, and Colin's website for the reviews.

Let us break down tonight's episode two hours before it airs on the east coast: THESE ARE SPOILERS Puck gets booted off the Battle tonight. (This is for the machete incident.) Dan is brought back, but leaves because he is again the lowest scoring member of the guys team. Aneesa is booted from the girls side. The girls' inner circle is formed of Ruthie, Emily and Ellen once again. Emily tries to pull off a Rachel thing again where she wants to vote off Veronica this time. But Ruthie and Ellen stop her. Girls win this pairs mission. It's a mission where you have to solve a puzzle. Ayanna and Ruthie are the winners. They decide to give it to Tonya.

This hasn't been confirmed. But most is correct!

So that's 3/7 Las Vegas castmembers who have ran into trouble with the law. Arissa had a warrant out for her arrest in Boston during the filming of the show. Frank was picked up on misdemeanor charges shortly before coming to the show. And Alton has been arrested for assualt. This latest edition of Real World turned Cops happened at a promotion in a bar in North Carolina. Steven, Trishelle, Brynn, Alton and Irulan were serving as temporary bartenders for the night, when Alton got into an altercation with the bar's managers. He posted bail after spending Saturday night in the slammer. The Smoking Gun reports this all in their website, saying how sweet it was for Irulan to walk Alton out to the cop car. They are still together. You can check out the Smoking Gun's report, here. His mugshot is there too, it looks like he's posing for an MTV photo shoot rather than a mug shot. Damn those beautiful RW kids!

New design. Kinda not original. Will have to suffice for now.
