Trishelle and Mike advance to the next round of NBCs Fear Factor

If you're missing the Fear Factor three episode special event over on NBC, be sure to catch it next week. Last night, we caught a glimpse of the first two stunts: the first being a demolition derby that American Idol's Carmen Rasmusen and Anthony Federov won. They won a trip to Kenya in the process, also giving an exemption to The Apprentice's Tana Goertz and Craig Williams. The second stunt was a timed race through a well, a swamp and basically what amounted to an alligator hole, which Mike (Back to New York) and Trishelle (Las Vegas) won, giving them to chance to select the order for the next stunt.

However, we were all winners during the second stunt when The Amazing Race's Jonathan Baker got into a fight with the host, Joe Rogan. After Jonathan and Victoria Fuller refused to complete the stunt, Victoria returned to the lineup, only to hit Survivor's Jonny Fairplay after he had heavily taunted them during their attempt to complete the stunt. Joe Rogan intervened, telling Victoria that she and Jonathan could hit each other, but assualt between contestants was unacceptable on the show. This prompted Jonathan to confront Rogan, which then prompted Rogan to put Jonathan in a headlock. This really had nothing to do with Mike and Trishelle, until Mike had to break up the fight, while Trishelle looked on and began to cry. The second episode airs next Monday at 8PM on NBC.

And this is a great time for an update on our favorite two Fear Factor contestants. Mike is doing extremely well at his hosting gig on WWE's Smackdown! After a deal to host his own segment called "Reality Check" fell through because of a reshuffling at WWE, the series gave him hosting duties for the whole show. Mike opens each show and has several segments in which he introduces other wrestlers. Trishelle is also doing extremely well. She will be appearing in the 2007 "Sexiest Women of Reality TV Calendar", which we all know is the mastermind of Beth S. (Los Angeles). She also landed a part in the "Dukes of Hazzard 2", which allegedly will feature fellow reality alum Laguna Beach's Kristin Cavallari as Daisy Duke. We also reported that she was dating Adam Duritz of the Counting Crowes, which we found out to be wrong after the two claim that they're only friends. She is however dating actor Chad Lindberg. Lindberg is featured in a movie called "Push", which releases this month. He also starred on CSI: NY and played Jesse in the 2001 film "The Fast and the Furious". Good luck to both of them.
