Beth is up for an award as "The Most Memorable Reality Performer"

Reality Remix, which is a show that Mark (USA Tour I) reports for, is holding an awards show this year. Aired exclusively on Fox Reality, the awards show would be the first telecast of its kind.

Anyway, Beth (Los Angeles) is up for the only award you can vote on. She's up for "Most Memorable Reality Performer". She has pretty stiff competition in the likes of Mike Boogie, B.J. Averell, Omarosa, Jonny Fairplay, Janice Dickinson, Evan Marriott, Toni Ferrari, Dr. Will Kirby and Flavor Flav.

Anyway, check out Reality Remix's website and vote for Beth!

Denver promos already begin airing three months before season is scheduled to start

So after the unedited video surfaced on YouTube last week, it seems fitting that the Denver promo also surfaces on YouTube as well. Don't fret. They are actually airing this promo on MTV as well. But it doesn't even have a premiere date on it (which we know to be around the beginning of December).

Anyway, quick synopsis of the video, the cast is set up in a circle, playing spin the bottle. It's not footage, it's a staged promo. Eventually, at the end of the promo, what looks to be like Jenn (Denver) and Alex (Denver) end up kissing. Supposedly, these two hooked up during filming, but no word on if they're still an item. Here's the clip:



And for those of you who still are not so technologically inclined and for those of you who just like them, here's some screenshots. Hopefully, ImageShack can handle the large image with the bandwidth:



Top to Bottom: Brooke, Alex, Colie, Jenn, Jenn and Davis, Jenn kissing Alex.

Sneak peek of the Duel's first episode is now up on Overdrive

Just a quick announcement: Overdrive has posted a sneak peek for the Duel's first episode. If you have a broadband connection and don't want to wait until Thursday, be sure to catch it.

We'll also have screencaps and a review up here relatively soon for those of you that don't have a broadband connection. We'll also include any spoiler warnings for those of you who don't want to have the first episode spoiled.

So, what are you waiting for? Go see the first episode.

Update: The following contains a brief synopsis of the first half of the episode, now up on Overdrive. If you do not want to know what will happen on Thursday night, please stop reading now.









Clockwise from top: Diem (Fresh Meat) and Nehemiah (Austin) arrive in Brazil. The cast goes up to the Duel area. The cast assembles to hear the rules. Eric (Fresh Meat), Evan (Fresh Meat), CT (Paris) and Derrick (Extreme) conspire, The girls compete, The boys compete, Kenny (Fresh Meat) makes Svetlana (Key West) choose.


The episode starts out with the cast arriving in Brazil at the airport. This is probably the first time since the Gauntlet that the cast met up at the airport and then they board a bus to where they are staying. Everyone's talking in the bus and everyone is commenting on their whereabouts. If you read the Blog, you probably know all this information.

They go into the house and they see "The Duel" emblazoned across a wall. No one knows what it means, but the team question is already thrown into the air. TJ Lavin informs them on their first night of the rules: It basically amounts to a schoolyard picking game at the end of each mission. The winning guy or girl (dependent on which Duel day it is), will choose a member of the opposite sex to be safe. The person they chose, will then choose the next person, until one castmember is left. That one castmember goes into the Duel. That castmember also gets to choose their opponent.

It's a little mindboggling for the castmembers. But on their return home, Key West quickly recognizes the conspiring that is going on around them. Principally, Derrick (Extreme), CT (Paris), Evan (Fresh Meat) and Kenny (Fresh Meat) all decide to let John (Key West) go to the Duel. Derrick cites how it's been tradition.

So, mission day comes up and it's basically a group reverse tug-of-war. I won't tell you who wins, just to keep a little suspense. However, the group gets a surprise when they realize that there's NO deliberation time and they must pick who is going into the Duel at that exact moment. The interesting thing here is that castmembers were first choosing other castmembers from their own seasons (San Diego chose San Diego, Extreme chose Extreme, Fresh Meat chose Fresh Meat). Also, two seasons are deliberately left at the end: Fresh Meat and Key West. The manner of choosing the Duelers each week, explicitly draws lines between castmembers according to their alliances. Which sorta makes them accountable for their actions.

Anyway, at the very end, Kenny (Fresh Meat) must make a crucial choice, because after him, there are only two men left: John (Key West) and Tyler (Key West). One of them must be sent to the Duel, but Kenny must make the decision about who will get to make that decision: Is it Svetlana (Key West), Paula (Key West) or Casey (Fresh Meat), the last three remaining women? Kenny immediately goes for Svetlana wanting to make it "interesting". So, the episode ends with Svetlana torn to make a decision between her two "guardians" at the Challenge: John and Tyler.

To find out what happens, highlight the following text: Svetlana chooses Tyler, who oddly enough, chooses John. John is sent home in the first Duel.

Real World Denver lesbian hot tub footage leaked over the internet

This is the first time this has happened if memory serves correct. Someone over at BMP has leaked footage of Denver. Get Real Denver was the first to post this. It's a hot tub scene supposedly between Brooke (Denver), Jenn (Denver) and Ty (Denver). "Supposedly" because we only have pictures of the castmembers and this is the first footage that's come out. It's of Brooke and Jenn making out in the hot tub and Ty asking to join in. And yes, it's real. The interior of the house matches what we've seen before.



And for those of you who don't have high speed internet and don't want to wait forever to see the clip, check out the following screencaps:



Brooke says she wants to liven things up and asks Jenn what she wants to drink.



Jenn asks Brooke if she's drunk.



Jenn goes to hug Brooke.



Brooke and Jenn make out for the rest of the video.



Ty asks if he can join in. After getting no response, he says he'll just sit back and watch.

Melinda and Landon are on tour with Nick Lachey promoting yFly.com

Yes, Melinda (Austin) and Landon (Philadelphia) are on tour with Nick Lachey. Nick Lachey has a partial stake in a new online community called yFly. So, in an effort to promote the new website, which is a bit like MySpace, he's bringing along several people to help promote it (Melinda and Landon being two of them).

The upcoming dates that they'll be there are:

10-10 - DC
10-17 - Tampa
10-19 - Orlando
10-20 - Atlanta
10-21 - Nashville
10-23 - Louisville

yFly is almost exactly like MySpace. It's actually a pretty good service that actually confirms if members are celebrities. A couple of castmembers are already on it. Svetlana (Key West), John (Key West), Paula (Key West), Casey (Fresh Meat) and Aviv (Fresh Meat) are just a couple who've signed up already. Check out Landon's website for more information.

Andre's band, The Andre Comeau Band, has album available at iTunes

Andre (New York), who is part of that group of alumni that we don't hear much, is in a band called none other that the Andre Comeau Band. They've been together for about two years and they recently released their latest album on iTunes. So, if you were a fan on Andre (New York) in his Real World years, check out his new stuff.

Also, his band is on MySpace. You can preview the music there and check out his latest appearances in the Los Angeles area. Good luck to Andre and his band.

Timmy opens up his own website apart from RealitySpot

Timmy (USA Tour 2) and Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) have had a long standing partnership in the form of a website together. They've released a couple of DVD together even. Well, Timmy, who's had success has a hosting personality on television, has opened up his own website at www.timbeggy.com.

The website will feature his resume, photos, contact, links and stuff to generally help out his career. He'll also post his schedule so you'll be able to catch his appearances wherever he might be around the country.

Danny and Melinda have not broken up; The two are still engaged and a date has been set

There was some news over the summer that Danny (Austin) and Melinda (Austin) has possibly broken off their engagement and were no longer living together. According to TMZ.com, the two are still very much engaged and living in Boston.

There was some question as to whether the two would have their marriage air on MTV after Danny proposed to Melinda on the reunion show. It looks like Danny told TMZ that he's not looking to broadcast his nupitals over the airwaves, especially since most MTV couples don't have the best track record.

I'm also being told that the two have set a date for Spring/Summer 2007.

Castmembers will be at a casting for RW19/FM2 in Lubbock, Texas; Castmembers will have an after-party

Usually, casting news isn't normally news. (By the way, if you want to know what the scheduled casting dates are for Real World 19 and Fresh Meat 2 scroll down.) However, this yet unannounced casting date is a bit out of the ordinary.

BMP will be casting on Saturday October 21 in Lubbock, Texas (no details on where yet) from 10am to 5pm. The interesting thing is that there will be several castmembers holding an appearance the same night in Lubbock at Beer Garden. Mark (USA Tour I) is confirmed to be there and there should be other castmembers showing up.

So, for you Real World/Road Rules aficionados who live in Texas, this should be a special treat for you. Try to get on the show during the day and hang out with castmembers at night.

Fresh Meat 2 is now casting, which probably means that Road Rules was passed up by MTV again

Over at the Bunim-Murray casting webpage, there is somewhat of an official announcement saying that they are currently casting for the Fresh Meat 2 Challenge.

Fresh Meat 2 is being casted alongside Real World 19, which has yet to have announced its host city. The Fresh Meat concept came from the fact that there were not as many Road Rules castmembers available to do Challenges as there were Real World castmembers. So, in order to offset that, newbies were brought in to liven up the Challenges. The news of Fresh Meat 2 comes as a bit of a surprise, as there were expectations that Road Rules 14 would be reformatted and come back as a series. Since Fresh Meat 2 is being casted, MTV most likely decided against renewing Road Rules once again.

This new edition of Fresh Meat will be filmed after the 14th season of the Challenge (presumably The Inferno 3) which will begin filming this month in South Africa.

Cara and Susie may be going to South Africa says Cameran's MySpace

Well, although I don't like reporting on stories of this nature because they are ambigious at best, a posting on Cameran's (San Diego) MySpace may reveal that both Cara (South Pacific) and Susie (Australia) may be headed to the next Challenge.

Here's the text of the comment:

Cammie, It's Monica Ericson. I just thought you should know that Cara and I are about to go start some trouble. Won't be the same without your skinny buns.

Now, maybe we're just reading into this waay too much... Maybe both Cameran and Susie have a mutual friend named Monica Ericson, who have a third friend named Cara, which coincidentally may or may not be South Pacific's Cara. Maybe Monica, Cameran and Cara take regular trips together. Or it really means what we think it means and we'll be seeing Susie and Cara in South Africa.

Update: The post was directed toward both Cara and Susie going to a party in South Carolina, which incidentally is Cameran's hometown.
