Cribs will be doing an expose on the Chicago house

New news! MTV Cribs will be airing a short segment on the Real World XI: Chicago house. Cribs premieres soon, but it will be on the show titled Finest II. The outside of the house is pretty well known, so I'm sure Cribs will have a lot on the INSIDE of the house. From what we've seen, the house looks PHAT! Cribs airs every Wednesday at 10:00pm, check your local listings for showtimes.

Yes, BMP did film a fifth installment of the Challenge, coming after the Rachel (San Francisco)/Sean (Boston) hookup on All Stars, Playboy antics of the first Challenge crew, fighting fits of Piggy (Australia) and Los (USA Tour 1) on 2000, and the Ayanna (Semester at Sea) booting on the Extreme, this new challenge, simply called the Real World/Road Rules Challenge promises to be a kicker.

To be premiered sometime in January, airing opposite of the Real World: Chicago, Challenge has 40 Real World and Road Rules castmembers hitting it up in Mexico.
