Philadelphia Soul season ticket holders will be given house tours of Philadelphia house

Ever wonder why The Real World house in Philadelphia is still furnished? Well, here's part of the answer why: The Philadelphia Soul will be giving season ticket holders a chance to tour The Real World house. For a limited time, the Philadelphia Soul are offering a tour of the Real World house just for purchasing season tickets.

No decision has been made about the final fate of Road Rules

Here's some new light on the Road Rules situation:

The spin-off "Road Rules" might be hitting the road.
MTV confirmed that no decision has been made on its
renewal, although the music network has ordered two
more seasons of "The Real World/Road Rules Challenge."

"'Road Rules' has always been sort of the stepchild of
'The Real World,'" said Murray. "It usually gets
renewed based on the strength of its ratings. It's
been consistent in its delivery, but it doesn't get
the same press attention that it deserves."

Murray said there are still many destinations "Road
Rules," which crams six 18- to 24-year-olds in a
recreational vehicle, has yet to visit.

"They were focused first on the big 'Real World'
deal," said Murray of MTV's decision. "They're aware
we need to keep the challenges fresh. We need new cast
members."

The New York Post also published an article much to the same tune of this one that was written. Check that out here. Thanks to Fred for those articles.

we now have confirmation that MTV is still mulling the decision to produce another season of Road Rules. MTV Networks, which is based down in Santa Monica, California, handles all the decisions to renew these types of shows. If anyone has ideas of getting the network's attention to NOT cancel these shows, feel free to email us.

In new news, we recently reported that Tonya (Chicago) confirmed Coral (Back to New York) as being part of this next Challenge which starts filming tomorrow. Well, Coral (Back to New York) nor Melissa (New Orleans) will be part of Naughty and Nice.
