Tyrie begins his womanizing ways and he actually protects Davis from a local at a bar

Here's the trailer for tonight's episode:



Here's the brief synopsis of the episode:

"As the Real World seemingly moves past it's first three days for this
fifth episode, Tyrie has clearly been busy cultivating his "ho-train."
While "Dark Kent" is nervous about juggling two girls for the first
time, "Leroy Jenkins" is not shy in coming to the Davis' defense when
things get testy between Davis and a local [uh, he wants to beat Davis
up, get chore mind out the gutter maaaaaaan!]. Get on over to MTV this
Thursday at 10pm to see how many faces Tyrie threatens to break."

Real World may go international for the third time with its nineteenth season

The rumors are starting. According to this posting, BMP is considering moving the nineteenth season of the series all the way to Sydney, Australia. Recently, the Fresh Meat Challenge was filmed in Byron Bay, Australia, and of course, Road Rules: Down Under was filmed in Australia as well.

They list the top five cities that season 19 is rumored to be considering. If you remember, many people believed Detroit was the site of the 18th season, then a surprise announcement came from BMP announcing Denver would host to the seven strangers. Atlanta was heavily rumored to be the location for the 17th season, but producers threw a curveball and opted for Key West. And way back when, there were a lot of rumors that Real World was headed for Washington DC and even decked out a loft in the Adams Morgan section of the city, which turned out just to be a renovation of an old building.

They also report that the finalists for season 19 are all being asked if they have their passport.

Are we ready for The Real World: Sydney?

1) Sydney, Australia
2) Detroit, Michigan USA
3) Atlanta, Georgia USA
4) Washington DC USA
5) Montreal, Quebec Canada

Watch the trailer for the next Duel episode, which features the CT/Diem relationship, on YouTube

Send in your questions for Evan who will be doing an interview with BuddyTV on Thursday

Evan (Fresh Meat) will be answering your questions in an interview that he will be doing with Buddy TV on Thursday.

Buddy TV, which is that interactive chat platform that both Evan and Derrick (Extreme) have used this season to chat with you about the episodes, is conducting an interview with Evan.

So, if you have any questions to ask for the Fresh Meater turned Duelist, be sure to send in your questions to newrwroad@hotmail.com by the end of the day today and we'll get them off to BuddyTV.

The "new" Road Rules 14 cast, composed of alumni, is rumored to be selected

Road Rules 14, which has yet to get a title, is rumored to have been casted. I'm getting word that the castmembers who are on the new season of Road Rules have already been contacted, although this is not entirely confirmable.

While you can probably figure out some of the favorites, the preliminary list that we have received seems like casting has attempted to somewhat include castmembers from earlier seasons. However, it is useful to note that all of the castmembers that are rumored to be selected have been on at least one Challenge. We still don't have a full OR a confirmable list, so it's still subject to change. As more information comes our way (especially when we get word to release names), we'll do our best to make the info available to you.

This season of Road Rules premieres next month although no official start date has been given. This season the cast will be based in California (a first for the series). Presumably, each week the cast will be given a mission to travel to somewhere close to their "home base." Once they complete or fail their mission, they are required to return to their home base in California and face the consequences of their mission. The show will actually be in real time, so there won't be much to spoil, but there will be a lot of online content. Stay tuned for more information.

New Years Bash: What the Denver and Fresh Meat kids are going for on 12/31

This website did a story about how much stars are asking for on New Year's Eve. Some stars are available for hosting your parties, while others will perform, while others will just show up. The most expensive? Fergie is going for $50,000.

How much are our favorite stars going for? Seeing as Denver is the hot season right now, you can get a member of the Denver cast at rock bottom prices. (compared to Fergie, of course) For just $1,000 each, you can get Alex, Brooke, Colie, Davis, Jenn, Stephen or Tyrie to appear at your party on New Year's.

How about them Fresh Meaters? They weren't on the Real World or Road Rules, but a few of them seem to be Challenge veterans already. If you can't spring for the $1,000 bill for Denver, you can have a Fresh Meater for $500.

Of course, prices are subject to change. If you're actually interested in booking the castmembers for appearances, check out this website.

Aftershow: Aneesa joins Blair in a very revealing showing this week in the Aftershow

Aneesa said this Challenge is the first in which she had to rely on herself to get through it. She liked the team concept better than individual. They talk about Beth (Los Angeles) and how she couldn't hold any ill feelings toward her. She called Nehemiah (Austin) and Beth "slim pickings."

She talks about the fight that she had with Robin (San Diego). She couldn't believe what was coming out of Robin's mouth. The talk they had goes nowhere, but she gets to pull Robin into the Duel. She says that she needs to be the female Derrick (Extreme) to pull off a win.

The Basket Game:

Svetlana (Key West): "I wish you were a lesbian. I hate her douchebag boyfriend Martin, but they broke up, I think."

Casey (Fresh Meat): "I love Casey. She gives great blowjobs."

Evan (Fresh Meat): He was playing Jodi (Extreme) and Robin. "They definitely had sex on the Challenge."

Jodi (Extreme): She tried to make out with her. Cries a lot when she's drunk.

Kenny (Fresh Meat): The funniest, most uncoordinated person she's ever met. But he's fabulous.

The Sh$* You Didn't See: CT (Paris) and Evan playing with the food. The cast singing/scatting in the car. CT puts fart powder in coffee and gives it to Aneesa.

Duel Episode #9: Robin mouths off when she's drunk, pisses off Aneesa, and it sends them to the Duel

This episode begins with the cast dancing at a club. Robin (San Diego) declares that she's "drunk as a skunk". They get back to the house and she attacks Aneesa (Chicago). This sets off Aneesa. Even Kina (Extreme) is surprised at Robin's outburst.

Aneesa is visibly upset after the confrontation. Brad (San Diego) denounces Robin's actions and tries to distance himself from her. Robin sobers up and says that in all the Challenges she's been in, she can't figure Aneesa out. Aneesa declares that she is done with Robin.

The first challenge is a eating challenge. They're split into two groups. The winning team moves on the next heat. CT (Paris) wins, but is DQed. Evan (Fresh Meat) wins the hockey package. The cast throws up.

Diem (Fresh Meat) wins the Challenge. Then the show is edited to show that Brad has a big decisino to make in whether or not he should pick Robin. He, of course, picks Robin. This pisses off Aneesa. Wes (Austin) is left to pick Aneesa and of course she picks Robin.

They choose Ascender. Robin has trouble releasing the puzzle pieces and this gives Aneesa a huge advantage. Robin is leaving Buzios.

Duel Spoiler Alert: It's a girls Duel day today and a rift between Aneesa and Robin send them to the Duel

Tonight is yet another episode of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel.

If you missed the trailer for this week's episode, you can check it out on a previous post. This week, the girls are up for elimination, which of course, has tensions running high throughout the cast. For whatever reason, which we don't know if it happens before or after the mission, Robin (San Diego) and Aneesa (Chicago) get into an argument because Robin (San Diego) tells Aneesa to choose a side when it comes to her sexuality.

Whether or not this causes tension during selection is unclear. To find out whahappens, highlight this blurb:

Robin (San Diego) and Aneesa (Chicago) are actually picked to go into the Duel against each other. Capping off the argument the two have, Aneesa is able to send Robin packing, further perserving whatever was left of the "tenderoni" alliance and putting a dent in the "drama mafia."

Don't forget, the Duel airs tonight only on MTV.

Aftershow: Lacey joins Saul in the Fishbowl where Davis joins to explain himself

Lacey (Austin) is joining Saul this week to talk about the new episode of The Real World. Lacey, by the way, is opening her own salon in Florida. Congratulations to her.

Davis (Denver) joins the show and he gives his own explanation of what happened. He says that this happened the second night they got there. He blames the free drinks, the high altitude, and his drinking problems.

The situation just escalated when they were trying to calm down because they kept taunting each other. Davis calls the night one of the worst nights of his life. He said the n-word to hurt Tyrie because he thought he was leaving.

He says that he's learned a lot, he's grown a lot. He appreciates the experience. Lacey makes the comparison to Nehemiah (Austin) and Rachel's (Austin) fight about the war in Iraq.

Then they move on. He was excited to be the gay guy on the show to break the stereotypes that people have of gay people. He said he wanted to go home because he felt like he negated any positivity that he potentially could spread. He then thought about it for more than a second and knew it would be worse if he had left.

Lacey (Austin) will be joining Saul next week with special guest Tyrie.

RW Denver Episode #4: When drunk, Davis goes off the deep end and the roommates get into a group confrontation

The cast begins the episode by going out. Tyrie (Denver) mentions that he has an alter ego in which he doesn't want to come out. Foreshadowing, anyone?

Davis (Denver) drinks a lot in a very short amount of time and decides to go home because he's not having a very good time. While leaving, Stephen (Denver) is called the n-word by a bouncer. For some reason, probably because he's drunk, Stephen mentions that he's pissed off at Davis for leaving.

Stephen explains to Tyrie why it's unfair for Davis to leave. Tyrie yells at Davis to get out of the tub. And then while Davis tries to walk away, Tyrie begins to get even angrier at Davis. The two begin to start shoving each other, all the while the girls are watching in the tub. Tyrie gets really angry and starts insulting Davis. Brooke (Denver) and Colie try to break up the fight between them, while Davis tells Tyrie to hit him so he can be sent home.

The two finally break it apart. Davis goes back and taunts Tyrie. Stephen then comes in and explains why he was angry at Davis. All the while, tensions between Tyrie and Davis are still at it. Colie then mentions that Davis is the one who keeps getting into the roommate's faces. Davis then confronts Tyrie crying while one of the producers intervenes between the two. Davis then says he can't live in the house anymore and gets on the phone he yells to the house that he's going home because of Tyrie, who he then calls the n-word.

Davis leaves the house to stay in a hotel for a night. Brooke asks Tyrie how he's feeling. She too agrees that Davis is in the wrong. Tyrie says he's over it, but he won't be able to forget it. Davis returns home to the open arms of Jenn (Denver). The house has a meeting and Davis personally apologizes to Tyrie. Davis announces to the house that he's leaving, blaming his alcohol problem.

Jenn immediately starts to cry. Tyrie doesn't care and looks like he's bored. Stephen attempts to convince him to stay. Then, Tyrie steps in and tells him that they would be able to work things out if he did stay, although he wouldn't care about him leaving. stephen attempts to befriend Davis to teach him about race issues. Tyrie apologizes to him and wants him to stay, which Davis says that he already made the decision to.

Next Week: Tyrie is juggling two women and he defends Davis when someone confronts him in a club.
