The Austin cast had a garage sale; Judd has a new cartoon on TV; Steven, Trishelle, Mike on Fishbowl; Dan leaves the Challenge

Here's an interesting bit: Austin actually had a garage sale this past weekend at the site that was their house. There are no details on what was for grabs or who was selling stuff...

The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, a relatively new cartoon on Cartoon Network is actually produced and written in part by none other than Judd (San Francisco). Congratulations to him on that.

Also, don't forget tomorrow that Steven (Las Vegas) will be having his weekly Fishbowl chat along with Mike (Back to New York) and Trishelle (Las Vegas). The chat is at 12pm (Pacific) / 3pm (Eastern).

And finally, a spoiler for you people out there loving this Challenge that is airing. Highlight the next bit of text to find out which team loses a guy in next week's Inferno II:

The Bad Asses will be saying good-bye to one of their male team members for sure. The question is will Dan (Miami) pull through and win the lifesaver?

Road Rules still has not been renewed in the light of new seasons of Real World

I've been getting a lot of email asking about the new season of Road Rules, considering that The Real World: Austin is set to premiere next month. Here's the skinny on Road Rules:

Road Rules has been put on hold for now. There was never a definitive announcement from MTV or BMP saying that Road Rules was cancelled, but Road Rules creator Jonathan Murray said that although MTV didn't order any episodes of the series when it was up for renewal, there is a possibility that the show may come back. If you ask any castmember or insider, they'll tell you Road Rules was cancelled. However, there's an issue of renewing the supply of castmembers for each new Challenge. This next Challenge which is scheduled to begin filming in Trindad and Tobago next week is the last one that MTV has ordered. After that, it will be up for renewal once again. (Real World is renewed through its 20th season.) There will have to be a decision once that point is reached on the future of both the Challenges and Road Rules.
