Tonight is the third episode of the Real World: Denver. Unfortunately, there won't be a three-way episode, so you won't be able to catch it three times in one night. However, they are moving the series back to its regular time at 10PM.
For this episode, Colie (Denver) is finally pushed away by Alex (Denver), who begins to pursue his relationship with Jenn (Denver).
For those of you Aftershow fans, Alex will be on tonight, along with host Saul and veteran Robin (San Diego), so be sure to catch that as he will probably have some explaining to do.

Ratings debate over the premiere of the Real World Denver
Last week's episode of The Real World: Denver has come in with mixed reviews. While most of the reviews of the show weren't great (as usual), there was some surprising praise for the series as we reported to you yesterday.
But the ratings seem to be a point of debate amongst critics and supporters of the series. Variety is reporting that the ratings for this season of The Real World Denver is down 53% from last year's Key West premiere. However, Get Real Denver is reporting the number at around 8 million viewers, which is a huge increase.
The difference in numbers comes from looking at the numbers in its 1-hour premiere or 3-hour premiere. Over the 3 hours, more than 8 million people tuned in, but for the premiere itself, only a small number of people tuned in for that first hour. What is more impressive is that the Overdrive channel experienced an 82% increase in traffic after the episode aired as compared to the Key West season, so the show must be doing pretty well.

NY Daily News actually gives the new Denver season a good review
It's strange to hear journalists praise the newer seasons of The Real World. The precipitous decline of the series into binge drinking, promiscuity, and a whole bunch of other questionable activities usually make the series an easy target for journalists reviewing the series.
Surprisingly, this article by the New York Daily News' George Huff, actually gives praise to the series and wants you to watch the upcoming episodes.
Tomorrow is yet another episode of Denver, where we will see the aftermath of the Alex, Colie, Jenn hook-up.

Beth (Los Angeles) came on to the Aftershow to explain her fifth Challenge appearance. She takes one final swipe at Tina (South Pacific) and the infamous hit.
Blair (The Quest) comments on Beth's alliance which grew out of Kina's (Extreme) alliance and Tina being kicked out.

The basket game:
Nehemiah: her "tenderoni", one of a kind
Evan (Fresh Meat): a snake in the grass. Biggest asskisser.
Paula (Key West): a sweet girl, tougher, and should definitely stop drinking. She's a good girl.
Tina (South Pacific): Threatened by everbody who she thinks is prettier than her, which is everyone. Jealous. Crazy.
Casey (Fresh Meat): Great new set of boobs.
Derrick (Extreme): They go round and round. Make up and talk crap, make up and talk crap...
Robin (San Diego): She's insecure so she tends to follow who she thinks is cool. Robin can be the cool one, but she's got low self-esteem.
Diem (Fresh Meat): She seems like she's a very sweet girl. She knows what she's doing. She's using her sexuality.
Svetlana (Key West): Pure luck. She could kick her ass, anytime, anyday.
