Matt posts on his website that he's been sent home; San Diego moves in today; Rachel is on the View

Matt recently posted on his website that he was sent home from the Challenge in Telluride on the 28th of July. It may be indication that The Real World is losing the Battle for the Gauntlet. It also may be indication that they just didn't like Matt.

And TODAY is the day that The Real World: San Diego is said to be moving into their spacious digs in San Diego. Not much word on the house or who the cast is to be comprised of as of yet.... But there should be a surfer boy and a gay male this time around. We'll see very soon.

And still support Rachel (San Francisco) who is trying out for a position on the View. Her stint as a guest co-host begins on September 2nd. She actually turned down the last position which was recently vacated by Lisa Ling, because of her pregnancy.

And as for the lack of updates, we know... Relax... Hopefully, updates will continue to become more consistent! Thanks for waiting!

Next Real World is not casting; Lindsay is hosting a show in Tampa

Matt looked into the fact that BMP is casting for the next Real World... (They aired a commercial for it on the last episode...) Well, apparently, they are NOT currently casting for the next season, but they are currently accepting tapes. This might be a double-edged sword for hopefuls... You won't exactly be lost in a sea of auditions, but you might not recieve the same attention if you did audition during an official casting time. It's your choice if you want to send in a tape.

And more news on Lindsay (Seattle) and her hosting gig in Tampa. Check out the article, here. Her show starts in August, so it's unlikely that she'll attempt a shot at the co-host position on the View again. Thanks to Amy for that.

Rachel is set to be a finalist for the co-host position on ABCs The View

Thanks to all the people who emailed in about this. On Thursday's episode of ABCs The View, Barbara Walters announced that the search for the fifth co-host is set to begin. And none other than The Real World San Francisco's Rachel Campos-Duffy is set to be one of the contendors of the position. If you remember, when the spot was vacated by ditzy, now TVGuide correspondent Debbie Matenopoulos, Rachel was competing for the spot against Lisa Ling, who eventually won the spot. FOXsports Lauren Sanchez was also in the running for the position. Rachel was highly rumored to be the one taking the spot, but eventually lost it to Ling. Now, she is favored in the race, and will be the first co-host to audition. She will be on the view starting September 2. She'll be on the View for several days and there are 10 to 20 other people vying for the spot. They will choose the winner on November 26.

Now, last time, the final eight candidates consisted of these three ladies, plus Seattle's Lindsay Brien. Lindsay recently moved to Tampa to jump at a chance of hosting a television show there. But it is unclear if she will return to co-host The View again. Brien wasn't selected into the final three because the co-host's thought she was too young. Now four years later, Brien may be able to join the pack as a more mature woman.

Last time around, the ladies heavily relied on viewer opinion to select their co-host. When the time comes, we'll give you all the information in order to cast your positive vote for Rachel.

But for NOW:
You can e-mail the co-hosts of the View and tell them how ecstatic you are that Rachel is coming back to co-host. A few words of wisdom here: Try not to mention the Real World/Challenges too much... Try saying a few words about her personality, her warmth, her likability... You can even say something about her relationship with Sean and their two children, Xavier and Evita. Or you can talk about her experience on TV, like her co-hosting a talk show in Wisconsin. Don't make too long or exaggerated. With that said...
