Sorry for the lack of updates within the past few days. It's been difficult to get updates on the blog lately. I again, apologize for the inconvience. There has been some interesting news submitted by people who visit the blog.

Eric (New York) seems to be reliving his old days as the host of the Grind. Nies, who recently appeared in both Battle of the Seasons and Battle of the Sexes, will host a new show on ABC Family called Dance Fever. Thanks to Tom for that information.

And joining people like Jacinda (London) (The Human Stain, Ladder 49) and Janet (Seattle) (Freaky Friday), Frank (Las Vegas) will be making a small appearance in the movie American Wedding, the third installment of the American Pie series. When Michelle and Jim get married, Frank somehow gets thrown in the mix as a "Gay Bar Back"... We don't know either... Thanks to Den for that.

And a new online game is starting out, if you want to be apart of it, email jamesddog3@yahoo.com or go to his website at this site.

And Jonny Moseley is supposed to reprise his role as host. Anita recently heard Moseley on the radio talking about going to Rhode Island to film the next installment of the Battle. This is unclear on whether or not he'll actually appear. But for now it's just a rumor.

Have a good/great 4th of July!

Geminikitty is starting her own online BOTS game. Email her at geminikitty@aol.com if you want to participate.

And TV Guide recently did an interview with Kyle (Chicago). Check it out here. Thanks to Jessica for that.

For those of you on the west coast... As we reported last week, VH1 Goes Inside The Real World airs tonight at 9pm, only on VH1.

It's unbelievable that Rhode Island hates MTV so much. Five Middletown residents filed an injunction against MTV today, stopping them from obtaining an amusement license from the Town Council. In an official statement, production is now searching out of state for a new locale. Read the article, here. The show would have raised $4 million in revenue.

Kyle (Chicago) is appearing in a nationally run commercial for Right Guard. He's doing the one with the power strip and where all these guys get hit with a ball. He's one of those who gets hit by the ball.

And Trishelle (Las Vegas) was on the new Tom Green Show recently. She was also nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Reality Television Female.

Thanks to those who emailed us about these two things!

So I'd say this news is pretty damn official if you know what I mean. Julie Pizzi, who has been a producer for BMP since she orchestrated the booting of Jisela on the Quest has commented that production is officially trying to establish itself in Middletown, Rhode Island. Pizzi, who grew up in Rhode Island, wanted the locale, mostly because she wanted to shine light on her home state. So, rumors that production is in Florida may be false. (This isn't to say that they didn't scout down there as well.) But according to the following newspaper sources, construction on the house is already begun. The walls are being painted for the house to be turned into a Real World-type house. The only thing standing in production's way is a meeting to grant MTV an amusement license. Now here's the crux of the matter: Over 100 residents of Middletown have signed a petition to bar MTV from filming there. However, the Town Council loves the idea of bringing a big-scale production to the city that they've moved up the meeting to approve the license from Monday to tomorrow. MTV producers will meet with the Town Council to avoid having the license approved the day before filming is set to begin. So basically, the expected outcome is that the town council members are going to approve their license. Filming is scheduled to begin this upcoming Tuesday and will end on July 28. The house is located at 165 Indian Ave and is a waterfront property owned by Brian O'Neill. He leased it to MTV to use for a month. The selling price of the house? $5.55 million. Go to the article, here.

We reported several weeks ago that VH1 was working on a Real World Behind The Scenes Special. And noWe reported several weeks ago that VH1 was working on a Real World Behind The Scenes Special. And now it has come to television. Next Monday at 9PM ET on VH1, MTVs sister cable channel will air VH1 Goes Inside: The Real World. I caught promos for the show and it hit me as more interesting than usual. Why? Well, they are interviewing castmembers, but at the same time, they are interviewing people we have NEVER heard from before (ie. cameramen). It'll probably also focus on the bigger events in the Real World, like the slap heard 'round the world, Hawaii/Ruthie, and they will probably give an uneven amount of attention to Las Vegas. Watch!

I've recieved concerns about the premiere dates of the Real World: Paris and Road Rules: South Pacific. It makes total sense. Before the days of Chicago, this is what BMP did. Literally days after filming ended, the first episode would air. An example that comes to mind is The Real World: San Francisco. Literally, three days after the final day, the first episode aired. It's not that uncommon. The reason why Las Vegas took some time to premiere was because there was a whole skewing of filming times with Chicago, where it was filmed in the middle part of the year because of weather concerns.

Just FYI... Here are the top 5 castmember searches for the site in the past three weeks:

1. Marybeth Playboy
2. Mallory
3. Brynn
4. Cara
5. Rachel

And it seems that BMP had been doing some last minute casting for their 14th season which will be in San Diego. I am hearing rumors abound. But apparently, they went to DC for a final casting call. Several hundred people attended the call. I am already hearing news about castmembers and the house. But it's all rumors until this point. And The Gauntlet will begin filming July 1st from what I'm hearing as well. Today, Middleton will decide whether or not to grant producers permission for an amusement permit. And we will find out if The Gauntlet will be filmed there.

If you go over to Sarah's (Campus Crawl) site at Sarah's Brain she comments about how another castmember insults her on a message board. It's unclear who is insulting her, but another online fued seems to be abrewing. Thanks to Christina for that.

Cara (Chicago) was the focus of a CNN Headline News Health Segment this weekend. Cara (who goes by the last name Kahn, not Nussabaum... presumably her stage name) spoke about her bout with depression in high school. She also spoke about how depression rushed back into her life when she invited Real World cameras into her life. You can read the article online here.

And Abram (South Pacific) will be chatting at 4pm ET TODAY at this link. Be sure to catch him!

Here is another link to the location of the Challenge. This time it's in Middleton, Rhode Island. And it seems those rumors that it'd be in Florida are false. They even give an address: an 11-room estate at 165 Indian Ave. And it seems that the City Council will support this venue.

Interesting note... Seems like Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) spoke out about Newport rejecting the Real World/Road Rules Challenge from their city. Read the article here for that. Thanks to Gotmilk for that!

And some new news! Someone sent me along a picture that looked like Adam (Paris) was involved in a little porn deal. Well, it seems that Adam was involved in one of those College Fu** Fest parties. Now, any college kid at a relatively large university in California will tell you, it isn't that uncommon to find one of those parties at a frat house. Basically, the website goes around and films people doing the deed in front of large crowds at parties. Adam was in one of the pictures and apparently one of the videos. (He was just one of the onlookers.) Here is the link. You should be over 18. Those who are under 18, should not click. Thanks to Jay for that.

And BumpSetHit reports that Frank, Trishelle, and Steven (Las Vegas) were keeping up bartending appearances in New York City. They were at McFadden's doing their thing. Again, Steven can be seen alongside Danielle Fishel on this seasons Say What? Karoake. It airs everyday.

And Chris has sent us an email about the Challenge... Giving official word for "The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet" and scouting for a location in Florida. Read the article here.

There have been reports that Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) is going to be on this next season's Battle. But those reports are false and Theo will not participate this season.

Chadwick (Australia) and Holly (Maximum Velocity Tour) were on AMC the other day. They were on "Project AMC" and they were discussing reality television. Chadwick was on the show talking about how reality television was bringing down his career as an actor. After appearing on Battle of the Seasons, Chadwick said he was portrayed as a manipulative, hateful person. Now, he's brought to removing the two credits of his resume. Chadwick is starring in B movies right now. But it's his dream to win an Oscar someday. Apparently, he really shot down BMPs editing on Seasons. Holly made a small appearance.

Sean (Boston) is making headlines today by considering a run for Congress in 2004. Although nothing is definite, Sean will run as a Republican in his home state of Wisconsin. His wife and two children, Rachel (San Francisco), Eva, and Xavier are sure to be determinates in his final decision on whether or not to run. We wish Sean and Rachel good luck on whatever they decide. If you remember, Sean won Battle of the Seasons and Rachel made her last appearance on a season in 1998, when her and Sean partook in All Stars where they met.

Hey y'all. Ace (Paris) has an official website at http://www.aceamerson.com.

And I'm getting some news about San Diego, the 14th installment of the Real World. I have heard reports that the house has been selected, the cast has been selected, and so on and so on. I don't know if this is true, since casting for the Real World ended in the beginning of June. But I also heard a report that Road Rules was out and about as well. This is entirely unconfirmed at this point. But we will soon see if it's true.

After breaking news of Donell's arrest by us last Saturday, it has expanded into a frenzy of media coverage. There are many articles covering Donell's assualt and battery. After we reported to you that he had a rap sheet, we contacted the The Smoking Gun who provided many more details.

Cheyenne emailed us about an article done in Sports Illustrated about Mallory (Paris). Mallory ditched her full soccer scholarship to go onto the Real World. This is unconfirmed at this point, but you can check it out if you please. And you know that mission Kristin did with the Road Rulers in New Zealand. Well, one of her reporter castmates writes the article for J-14 magazine. You can check that out too. Another article found by Jason, which can be read here reports that Lori (Back to New York) is working at Waterworks, a fancy bar in Quincy, MA. Lori is actually planning a move soon, and word is that she's going to Los Angeles, to be with her Days of Our Lives beau, Kyle (Chicago). Thanks to the people who sent those articles in!

The Battle will not take place at the Ivory Tower as once previously reported. Residents of Newport, RI, successfully lobbied to get the Battle out of Newport ASAP. (They cited a law in which there can't be more than five residents living in a single house together, who are not family members.)

This is VERY last minute, as the Battle is scheduled to be filming in the next two weeks. MTV scouts are said to be checking out Narragansett, Rhode Island. Although is very unlikely that production would be pushed back on the show (causing several people to probably drop out), it is unclear where the show will actually be shot.

OOOOHHHHH!! How bad are we itching to get this new website off the ground!?! Dang... However, the extensive nature of the site will prohibit us from posting it anytime soon. We are looking to set a tenative date at around the end of June/beginning of July... We're not too sure yet, but 4th of July is looking pretty darn gosh good. Anyway, if you haven't heard, we got a domain! (our own .COM, our own little place on the internet.) It's at:

www.therealworldroadrulesblog.com

Not much there. The blog will still be on this page as well, we don't plan to get rid of it. Anyway, enough with this talk. If it begins to take longer than expected, we are working on a promotion page to get out to you that will show you some great aspects of the site. It's already beginning to take form and it does have pictures! We're not even close to being done however. Stay tuned.

You heard it first: Remember last Saturday, when we reported to you that Donell was arrested for assault and battery? Well, we contacted The Smoking Gun and told them they might want to look into it... (Once again, thanks to Ex-Man for that info.) Guess what they found? Not one arrests, count them TWO arrests. One before he left for Road Rules and one after he left for Road Rules. They are both against his girlfriend. Read more at TSG.

And over at We Love Ace, a linked site, Mallory recently was in Statesboro, visiting her friend Ace. Hmmm... Join the group, see the pic.

And an interesting article... By Trishelle... Says here that she's still doing Playboy? Here's the link. Thanks Colleen!

Just a litlte remark: The top three searches from the site for last week: 1) Ace 2) Marybeth 3) Mallory. Interesting note: Playboy is the #5 most searched topic on the website.
