San Diego house is revealed; Kit appears on ABCs the View trying out for a co-host spot

Some news on the Real World House... First and foremost, Real World Houses has added new shots of the San Diego house. Including shots of the house at night... Check out the light setup for this year's season. And some news on the history of the house.

Obviously, the house is located in the Point Loma area of San Diego. Although it is a waterfront property, many native to the San Diego area believed that the house would be located in other sections of San Diego. La Jolla, an affluent town, home to UC San Diego, was thought to be a front-runner to the San Diego home. Also, Mission Beach, site of MTVs Beachhouse, was also thought to be a great choice for the setting to the Real World. Also considered was Downtown San Diego. However, Point Loma became the evident choice, surprising many San Diego natives. Point Loma is known for fishing... and isn't a trendy spot in San Diego. Probably chosen for a greater sense of privacy, the waterfront home was once home to a seafood restaurant. Shortly before the roomies moved in, the house was known as the Blue Crab Restaurant. Once the restaurant went out of business, a company set up their offices in the building. And now it's known as the Real World house.

And tomorrow, Kit (USA Tour 1) will be vying for the fifth co-host spot on ABCs The View. If you remember, Rachel (San Francisco) tried out for the spot this past month, sitting in with the ladies for two days. So far, no other MTV alumns have been interested in the spot... But the last time when The View was looking for a co-host, both Rachel (San Francisco) and Lindsay (Seattle) tried out. We will also tell you how you can help Kit tomorrow. The final decision will be made live November 26. Before then, most likely, finalists will be invited to sit in with the ladies one more time.

Jacinda appears in Vanity Fair and more news on the Robin San Diego arrest

Jacinda (London) has recently appeared in an issue of Vanity Fair magazine. In it, she talks about her two new films, The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Ladder 49 with Joaquin Pheonix. She even alludes to her Real World days as well in the article.

And more news about the San Diego arrest from The San Diego Union Tribune. Some members of the cast were filming on Pacific Beach (where MTV crews set up their beachhouse a few years back) at a bar called Moon Doggies. Apparently, Robin got into an altercation with a marine who was also at the bar, and Robin scratched his arm and face. She posted bail on Wednesday, but no word yet on Robin's fate on the show.

Thanks to Eddie and LE for their information!

News suggests that castmember Robin is arrested during filming of the San Diego series

The Smoking Gun is reporting that a castmember of the Real World: San Diego has recently been arrested. 23-year-old Robin, a female bartender from Florida, has been arrested for a bar-room brawl with no one other than a marine. There is no picture of Robin on Smoking Gun's site (NOTE: Smoking Gun has NOW obtained a picture of her), but they have confirmed that she was a part of the cast. Never before has a castmember been arrested during filming, so this puts new light on the situation. There has been drunken fights on the show before (Seattle's David), but no arrests have ever been made. She spent some time in a jail before posting bail. It's unclear on whether or not she is going to continue on with the show.

Domain name opening up, Tami appears on KTLA news, Paris DVD will be released

Just something that we need to notify you of: Mid-summer, we reported that we were going to go public with an official domain that we had already purchased. We do have the dot-com already. However, the issue soon became web hosting. Well, with the enormous amounts of hits that we got all summer, we found out that we simply could not afford web hosting because the huge amount of traffic the site experiences monthly. So, that is put on hold until further notice.

And KTLA5, a local WB affiliate in Los Angeles, apparently reported this morning that a Reality TV Award Show is in the works. After a couple of years of the burst of reality television shows on mainstream networks, an award show is finally being planned. However, they were quick to mention that it would be both hilarious and prestigious... One of the categories according to KTLA??? "Best Female Skank" The show should launch in February.

And Tiger reported to us an interesting piece of information on the Paris DVD: Yes, on November 11th the Real World That You Never Saw: Paris DVD will be released. But also, it will come in a two-disc set with the 9 Degree Hookup Show that aired on MTV. Both DVDs are available at amazon.com.

Colin refuses to do appearances with Julie in the future, Melissa and Coral are moving in together

New news! Yes, yes... Apparently, the appearance that we told you about with Colin (Hawaii), Lori (Back to New York), Nathan (Seattle), and Julie (New Orleans) didn't go as well as they wanted to. Apparently, Colin will not do any more appearances with Julie claiming that her on stage "creates a bad end-product". This having to deal with Julie's lies about spirituality, abstinence, drugs, and her 9/11 ordeal... It is unclear what that means exactly, but obviously Colin did have a problem with Julie. However, Colin is still giving away copies of his book... And he's going to be filming some upcoming appearances. Go to his website to keep up with him.

Also, some news with other castmembers. If you follow any of Melissa's (New Orleans) rants on her webpage, you know that she and Coral (Back to New York) are great friends... So much so, that the two plan to move in together soon! Both Melissa and Coral moved to Los Angeles after their stints on the Real World.

And rumor has it that both Coral (Back to New York) and Julie (New Orleans) have been both asked to do the next installment of the Challenge (after the Gauntlet), which will begin filming in October.

And today was Rachel's (San Francisco) last day on ABCs The View. She is trying to get a spot on the show as a co-host. SUPPORT RACHEL! Read yesterday's post to see how exactly to do so! Congratulations to Rachel! She did wonderfully, even as Star Jones seemed to take a shine to her! Good luck!
