Coral and Rachel are doing well in the Challenge; Veronica is not doing well

Here's a small, itty-bitty update on people's performance at the Challenge:

As far as the last few people being sent home, we haven't really heard anything, but the last we heard, some of your favorite "regulars" had some varying degrees of success. Now, we all know that performing well in the missions doesn't actually mean that you're not going to be sent home. But, it does tend to help you sometimes... Coral (Back to New York) is said to performing well in the Challenge along with Rachel (Campus Crawl), while Veronica (Semester At Sea) is said not to be performing as well.

Kristin from E!Online says that the Philadelphia season might top Vegas in its antics

According to Kristin from E! Online, the upcoming season of the Real World in Philadelphia is said to be the craziest one yet. It is said to be dirtier than the Vegas season and have more jail time than San Diego season. It has also been reported that the Philly cast has two undercover police officers following them at all times in case any fights break out. Tune in this fall to see just how crazy the new cast can get.

Cynthia was the replacement for one of the girls who dropped out

Howdy, this small tidbit from the Challenge currently filming in New Mexico. Highlight to read:

We reported last week that one of the Real World girls had dropped out and was replaced even before the Challenge began. The replacement is Cynthia (Miami). There's no word as to who she replaced. We're still working on that one, although a few of the female Real World girls have been confirmed to be in attendance.

Jacinda lands a leading role alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Ladder 49

Some alumni news on a person you don't hear too much about: Jacinda (London) has a leading role in Ladder 49, starring both Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta. She plays the wife of Phoenix's character. It has a nationwide release on October 8. She will also star opposite Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Reportedly, she plays a co-worker of Bridget Jones who "experiments" with her. It's set to premiere in November. And finally, she has also just finished production on Mr. Ripley's Return which follows The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) and Ripley's Game (2002). She stars opposite Willem Dafoe and Tom Wilkinson. No release date has yet been set.

Ayanna is voted off; Girls are losing to the boys; Jisela was supposed to be on this Challenge

The following is spoilers for Battle of the Sexes 2. (Highlight to read:)

Ayanna (Semester At Sea) has been voted out. And some people have been asking if the girls are faring better than the boys, since we're hearing more about the boys' being kicked off than the girls... The answer is no. The girls had a rough start and it seems like the first Battle of the Sexes, without a winning streak to start things off.

And apparently, there has been a line-up change in the girls' side. One of Road Rules girls decided to drop out of the Challenge right before boarding the flight to New Mexico and was replaced. My guess is, since it happened before the Challenge started, the other person will not be mentioned at all. Definitely more on this later.
