Viewers Revenge Episode #11: Post your reactions here

Another week, another round of drama for the Roadies. Derek (Viewers Revenge) has been sent to the Pit and if he makes it back to the RV, the cast has a decision to make. The four alumni paired in an alliance will be either forced to integrate Derek and David (Viewers Revenge) into their alliance or they will officially establish themselves as a tight alliance of four.

The Roadies are faced with an especially perilous decision if they lose tonight's mission. If they keep their word, Adam (The Quest) is forced to see the Pit once again. Also, if they lose, the alliance of four has the task of nominating one of their females. If they win, they still have to choose one of the four of them to go in the Pit.

Will they keep their word? Who will get to the RV? Who will be nominated tonight? Post your reactions in our comments section.

Denver Episode #23: Post your reactions here

Tonight's episode of the Real World: Denver shows Davis (Denver) on the warpath, somehow insulting his three female housemates. The previews show Davis directly criticizing Jenn (Denver) and indirectly criticizing Brooke (Denver). We see Brooke go off the deep end. Not good for Davis. Tyrie (Denver) also seems to be reaching a boiling point with Jazalle.

A MTV Press Release gives the new season of reunion series a title

The Real World: Las Vegas, who are reuniting in the Palms Hotel and Casino this month, has officially obtained a press release from MTV.

MM Agency posts this new press release from MTV which states that the entire cast will live in the same suite for a couple of weeks to film a new series for the show.

The title of this new series? Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas

If this season is successful (high ratings), you probably can bet on other seasons being reunited for the series. In fact, before the Las Vegas cast committed, we were close to seeing Reunited: The Real World Austin.

Update: The Hollywood Reporter just picked up this story, so expect to see it in some other media outlets.

Inferno 3 - Episode #1/2: CT goes home, Davis is saved, and there's a showdown in the Inferno

The episode begins with the cast arriving in South Africa. They're all ready to start to throw down and prove themselves. The group goes to what Susie (Australia) calls "The Pits of Hell" and TJ Lavin walks out. He tells them that the two teams are "Bad Asses" and "Good Guys".

TJ welcomes everybody and explains the rules. There's team challenges and individual challenges. There are Infernos in every other challenge and alternate between men and women. After every other challenge, the teams announce which person from the opposite team will go the Inferno. The individual challenge, the next day, is the opportunity to save yourself if you're chosen. If you win the "LifeShield" you can put somebody of the same team, of the same sex, into the Inferno instead of you.

There's 15 Challenges worth $10,000 a piece with a final Challenge worth $150,000. Total grand prize with prizes is over $400,000. Only the people in the final teams get the prize money at the end.

They get to their house and they go crazy. Timmy (USA Tour 2) thinks he's a chaperone. CT (Paris) already misses Diem (Fresh Meat). Cara (South Pacific) mentions that she and Susie (Australia) are in an alliance. Aneesa (Chicago) loves her team. Jenn (Denver) needs to keep her eye open. Tonya (Chicago) is married, but she's still a "wild child." Evelyn (Fresh Meat) is just thinking "revenge" now that Danny (Austin) is not holding her down. CT cheers the group, which surprises Susie. Danny claims this is all fake as hell, and can't wait until the real personalities come out.

CT and Kenny (Fresh Meat) are wrestling. CT is obviously drunk and overreacts to a bloody nose that Kenny gives him. The house laughs at the big blow-up between the two. CT is automatically ridiculed for he's big persona. Camera fades to black, Davis (Denver) is in the bathroom with John (Key West). The camera didn't catch CT punching Davis in the face. John is pretty upset and Abram (South Pacific) comes in to see what's wrong.

Davis walks by CT and Abram, when CT asked him if he could take a punch. Davis said yeah. CT punched him. Tyrie (Denver) talks to CT. Alton (Las Vegas) talks to CT. He denies it, he's still drunk. Davis is visibly upset. A producer takes CT out of the house for him to leave. CT leaves.

TJ comes into the house. He reiterates that the number one rule is not using physical violence against each other. TJ tells the group that CT is going home. Danny is assured that it'll be Wes (Austin). Kenny thinks it'll be either Wes, Evan (Fresh Meat) or Derrick (Extreme). Ace (Paris) doesn't think that it'll help them.

They get their new mission clue. Timmy is nervous about how the group will perform since he's never met them. Derrick arrives in the house later that night. The house is excited to see him. So far, the Good Guys seem to be intimidated by the Bad Asses. Davis tells him he's the reason why he's there.

They get to the Lawrenceville Estate in Somersfield, South Africa. The team is tangled up in the air, 30 feet high, and they have to untangle themselves and drop down into the water to win the Challenge and $10,000. Immediately, the Good Guys, who are going first, notice that the quick release harness attached to their suit can easily be detached with the flailing feet in the tangled web of masses. Colie gets her harness detached and then lies on Davis for support, who then gets his harness detached, and they fall in the water. The team gets DQed.

The Bad Asses get their turn with no time limit. They just have to get it done. They do with it with almost no problem. The Bad Asses bank $10,000. The both teams now have to nominate two men into the Inferno. Davis is immediately brought up. Jenn and Tyrie come to his defense and say that he's one of the mentally weakest competitors because of what happened last night. The Good Guys select Abram. The Bad Asses select Davis.

The second challenge is "Ladder Race" where they have to summit a tower and cross towers with a ladder. The fastest time gets $10,000 and a Lifeshield for the winner. The Bad Asses win another match-up and we find out that Abe and Evelyn win the LCD TV and Abe wins the LifeShield. Alton also earns the LifeShield. Alton actually surprises the group and volunteers himself to save Davis. Abram picks Tyrie, saying that he might cause problems for Tyrie.

And... to be continued! Until next week!

Select casting tapes may be uploaded to MTV.com for you to select a finalist for RW20/RR15

Bunim-Murray is currently seeking permission from various auditioners who sent in casting tapes to post the actual videos on MTV.com for an online contest in which viewers select one lucky auditioner to move onto the finals casting round for Real World 20 and Road Rules 15.

This was done once before when Lori (Back to New York) was selected amongst five other finalists to automatically move to the finals in the casting round and was sent to Palm Springs to audition for the 10th anniversary season of the Real World. She actually made it onto the show, so this lucky person may actually make it onto the show.

No word yet on when this will actually happen, since production is still collecting tapes until April 15, 2007 and will probably not move to the later stages of casting until summer. This season of the Real World and Road Rules is scheduled to air in 2008.

With the Inferno 3 premiering tomorrow, newspaper article reveals key spoilers

A newspaper article appeared in yesterday's edition of the Los Angeles Times, which deals with the first episode of the Inferno III, airing tomorrow. The paper describes the series as falling short because while omitting the competitive spirit of sporting games (which the Challenges have always lacked), it also lacks the drama of memorable, key castmembers who are not present this time around. This article pretty much spoils the entire episode, so stop reading if you don't want to know what will happen.

Jon Caramancia, special writer for the Times, details some opinion-laded stuff that mostly talks about missing Beth S. (Los Angeles), Wes (Austin), Coral (Back to New York) and Evan (Fresh Meat).

But then he gets to the spoilers. (Highlight to read the spoilers.) The first Challenge, which will be a rock climbing challenge which ultimately comes down to Alton (Las Vegas) and Abram (South Pacific). As you remember, on his season, Alton was a rock climbing genius, so much to the surprise of both teams, Alton ends up losing the competition.

But the real drama comes when the casts are playing around later that night. CT (Paris) starts wrestling with Kenny (Fresh Meat), which we've all seen in the previews. However, the two play too rough, and CT ends up with a bloody nose, prompting him to go on the warpath.

"I'd [expletive] lay you out cold," he says. "Naptime, [expletive]!" are some of the classic lines uttered by CT. And wonder why the preview doesn't drum this up better than it should? Apparently, CT goes off somewhere and punches Davis (Denver) in the face, giving him that big black eye we see in the trailer, but the cameras aren't able to catch it.

Read the full article here. This episode airs tomorrow night at 10PM and is a full hour.

Los Angeles' Jon is filming a "Where are They Now?" Special for VH1

Jon (Los Angeles), the cowboy hat wearing, country music singing, lovable castmember from the second season of The Real World is currently a part of a series based on former reality TV castmembers which asks "Where Are They Now?"

Jon has actually been on two Challenges since he left Los Angeles. He was on the Battle of the Seasons and the Inferno II. He was sent home early both times, once because he was partnered with Beth S. (Los Angeles), the other because he volunteered to go into the Inferno.

Jon appeared on the show when he was only 18-years-old and he had hoped that the appearance would gain him a record contract and instant fame. "Random events in a six-week period affected my life," Brennan said. "I had a manager who also managed Wynonna Judd. We had a disagreement and parted ways."

After a series of events that led to dashed hopes, Jon returned to Kentucky and is now a youth pastor at a local church. He's still singing however. He headlined at Goldie's, the venue he sang at on the show, this past Saturday.

The show should air on VH1 later this year.

Las Vegas cast leaves for Vegas beginning this Monday and filming wraps up the last full week of April

Looks like the castmembers of The Real World: Las Vegas will be hitting up the slots sooner than you think. The cast will begin arriving in Las Vegas beginning this Monday on April 9, while filming ends around April 26.

This is a little earlier than previously anticipated (the cast was thought to arrive in a week), but this time frame does fall within the suggested three-week filming period.

If you happen to be in Las Vegas, I wouldn't exactly suggest approaching the cast. The whole dynamic of the show is changed, as everyone knows exactly who the cast is and as everyone knows exactly what the cast is doing at the Palms. (During the airing of the season, the cast would make up funny stories about what they were filming because they were never allowed to say what they were taping.) Don't expect the cast to be galloping the Palms too much.

But, if you do see the cast, snap a photo or email us at newrwroad@hotmail.com to let us know.

Susie compares Viewers Revenge to Australia and this may be her last hurrah on MTV

Viewers Revenge alumni Susie (Australia) gives an exclusive interview to BuddyTV where she reveals that she might retire from Challenges.

Susie, who originally appeared on Road Rules: Australia when she barely turned 18, was a self-proclaimed "superfan" of the show. She made a casting tape when she turned 18 and was sent to Australia to become part of Road Rules history. After taping the Inferno III, she begged producers to let her be a part of another Road Rules experience, but comes to the conclusion that the two games are far different.

"I think that it’s changed the way everybody’s played the game," Susie explains in the interview. The voting off and interactive element of the show has caused "some of the cast members... [to] monitor their behavior and change like, their character to maybe please the audience." She also goes on further to explain the backstabbing nature of the game and how the dynamic will shift as we near the end of the game. "The volunteering and you know playing it nice might start to fade a little bit in favor of you know more cut throat strategies."

Finally, she mentions that she might be done with Road Rules, Challenges, and other MTV-related things after this stint. "I just really appreciate what Road Rules has brought to my life and it’s been so rewarding but I’m an old lady now and I think I’m going to move on to a different stage but I feel like I’m passing the torch to Tori because she’s only just begun."

Viewers Revenge Episode #10: David vs. the World as things get heated in the RV

The episode opens with us, the viewers, finding out that David (Viewers Revenge) is going in the Pit against Shane (Campus Crawl). Eager to reclaim his spot on the RV, Shane claims that he's more than the meets the eye, as he claims that he will put up a fight against David. They get "Fumble" and the clear advantage is to David.

Shane almost has no chance as David clearly outweighs him and has the advantage. David wins the first two heats and is declared the winner. Back on the RV, the cast pretty much concurs that they don't want David back on the RV. It seems that after watching last week's episode, the cast thinks that David is two-faced.

Upon entering the RV, the cast is solemn and David and Tori (Viewers Revenge) are at each other's throats. David claims that Tori is fake since she turned her back on the Pit Crew and joined the Roadies. The argument gets pretty heated and Susie (Australia) even joins in and tells David that if he ever speaks to Tori like that again, he'll go to the Pit everytime. It's a pretty heated conversation.

The trust bond is broken between David and the rest of the cast. It seems like his time is limited in the RV. The Roadies get their mission, which is to do some racing/tricks on dune buggies out in the desert. It's a two part mission that seems pretty difficult. The first part of the mission is to complete a six-mile course under 15:00 and the second part of the mission is to complete a jump off a ramp and reach a certain distance. The Roadies end up failing their mission and not banking $10,000.

When it's time to vote someone into the Pit, it seems that they'll be throwing David into the Pit again. However, Derek (Viewers Revenge), who is David's only confidant, volunteers himself to prove himself to the cast and to save David. The two of them are banking on the hope that the alumni won't continue to vote the two of them out.

Keep tuning in to see how this ends up and whether or not the alumni will keep their alliance strong against the Pit Crew.

Denver Episode #22 : Stephen is accosted by the entire group and makes amends

The episode begins with the Outward Bound kids and the final days of their hike. Some roommates are excelling at motivating the kids, while others aren't doing so well. Tyrie (Denver) and Colie (Denver) seem to take a leadership role, while the other cast seems to be doing well. All except Stephen (Denver) that is.

Stephen went to his sister's wedding and missed most of the trip. Colie and Tyrie accused him of not taking too much interest in the kids. When Stephen returns, he's met with anomosity and negativity.

The kids go home and the roommates are once again left to their own. Once they get home, they get their evaluations. Stephen is confronted with the fact that he didn't care too much about the kids and took a backseat role to leading the group.

This leads Stephen to confront Tyrie and Colie. Davis (Denver) tells Stephen that both of them had talked behind Stephen's back while he was at his sister's wedding. He also tells him that Tyrie thinks he's "too integrated into white culture."

For whatever reason, Stephen decides to confront both Tyrie and Colie. Everyone seems to work their differences out. Tyrie tells Stephen that he thinks that he didn't put 100% into the Outward Bound experience and that he thinks he's "whitewashed", just like Stephen thinks Tyrie is "hood". The two realize that they just had their first disagreement. Stephen confronts Colie at a bar, where they just vent their frustrations, and hug it out at the end.
