It was announced last week that Bunim-Murray Casting was adding another date to its list of open calls, and that would be Las Vegas. Not so strange, but once you consider that the Las Vegas cast is filming their series in the same loft they once occupied five years ago, you begin to understand why this is happening.
If you're in the Las Vegas area, want to try out for the Real World, or just want to catch a glimpse of Alton, Arissa, Brynn, Frank, Irulan, Steven and Trishelle, who will probably be conducting some casting interviews, head on over to the Rain in the Desert Nightclub at the Palms.
Casting begins at 10am and ends at 5pm. Who knows... You might end up on the next Real World.

Pit Battle put online and reveals which castmembers are challenging Derek and Susie
The Pit Battle between Derek (Viewers Revenge) and Susie (Australia) has been revealed. Over at RoadRules.MTV.com, they have posted the Pit Battle for everyone to see, but they fall short (like always) of showing who actually wins. If you don't want to know what happens, stop reading.
Derek and Susie seem to be at a little bit of odds with each other. Susie, did in fact, send Derek to the Pit for the third time in four weeks. Derek is obviously ready to go in the Pit and looks like he'll try his hardest to get into the RV again.
(Highlight to read) Dan (Viewers Revenge) and Veronica (Semester at Sea) have been chosen to face off against Derek and Susie. The tension is palpable between the two teams and Susie even gets into it with Veronica about the way that the alumni are playing the game.
Should be a good, physical Pit Battle. If you want to know who wins, highlight the rest of this post: Derek and Susie pull off another win.

Tonya posts her thoughts on the Inferno 3 and her first impressions of the cast
Tonya (Chicago) posts her first impressions of the cast (which aren't really first impressions) on her new blog at MySpace.
Tonya, who hasn't blogged on the Challenges before, lets her opinion be known about her fellow castmembers and she doesn't hold back in this blog. Right away, she almost seems at odds with most of the girls. She especially seems to be at odds with Cara (South Pacific), who she can't really stand, especially after her Playboy shoot. Although, Tonya does say that she could relate to Paula (Key West), but Tonya isn't at the Challenge to make friends. She also mentions that Rachel (Austin) got a boob job before coming onto this Challenge.
She closes out the blog with a comment about the violence on the shows, especially since it seems to happen every season. It's a good read. She even mentions the Mean Girls, who thought were to be a part of this Challenge before filming began.

Real World 20 is still looking for people with goals, casting will most likely be extended again
The Real World 20 is having problem finding people suitable for the premise that seven twentysomethings actually have goals. According to Reality Blurred, MTV casting directors are having trouble finding people who match the show's description of people wanting to actually do something with their lives. They're just getting the normal people who are aspiring actors trying to break into the business.
The article also elaborates on how casting will most likely be extended in the near future, since they don't want to be overwhelmed with tapes all at once.
And it also responds to "rumors" about casting tapes being uploaded to MTV.com and people at home actually being able to select a finalist. Apparently, Damon Furburg, the casting director that Reality Blurred talked to, has heard nothing about it.

Christina is looking for Susie's biggest fan to make an appearance on her radio show
Christina (Australia), the compatriot and confidant of Viewers Revenge alumni Susie, is looking for Susie's biggest fan.
If you consider yourself a big fan of Susie, have loved her ever since you laid eyes on her, and are pretty much as fanatical about her as she used to be about Timmy (USA Tour 2), then Christina wants you!

Alton arrives in Las Vegas but is overheard in the airport about why he came to Vegas
Alton (Las Vegas) was spotted today waiting to board a flight to Las Vegas. This comes with the Las Vegas cast all finally arriving in Vegas today and partying amongst themselves well into the wee hours of the night in many of the Palms' nightclub.
The most interesting fact that comes in this story is that Alton was talking on the phone when he was in the airport. Apparently, he was being asked why he wanted to come back and re-live his Las Vegas experience.
Apparently, the money they were offering for the cast to come back was better than the appearances and other jobs that Alton had going on, so he decided to come back to do the Real World.
Tonight, the cast is having their hurrah as they arrive at the Palms.

Janelle clears the air by confirming that she is not pregnant with Johnny Bananas' child
On last night's episode of the Inferno 3, the trailer made it seem that Janelle (Key West) might have been impregnated by her former roommate John (Key West).
She posted the following message on her MySpace blog:
NO people..... I'm not and was NEVER impregnated by Johny. I know you might have heard this on the first episode of the Inferno 3 during the brief trailer they showed of me and Johny talking. But let me just set the record straight NOW, so there's no questions about it. Johny loves to joke around and sometimes he goes a little far... i.e. pulling my top off in the ocean, yeah... I know you guys remember that. One of his favorite things to tell complete strangers when were working together is that we're married and expecting a child.... It's always funny, but people always know its not true... let's be real???? I will let you see how that episode plays out... can't give you too much information. But me and Johny are just friends, he's like a best friend to me.... never even seen that man's goods, and dont ever plan to. Enjoy the Inferno 3!!!!
Apparently, something occurs between them that causes some drama, but she won't reveal it until the episode airs. Keep watching!

Beth S. defends Susie, criticizes the game, and points fingers at production on her MySpace
Beth S. (Los Angeles) has been intermittently posting on her MySpace about this season of Road Rules: Viewers Revenge.
First, she calls the altercation between Tori (Viewers Revenge) and David (Viewers Revenge) a little contrived. She makes a good point, as both of them were clearly ready to confront the other when they both got on the RV. She also mentions that you look at the faces of Adam (The Quest) and Derek (Viewers Revenge) in the background if you TIVO the episode. (They laugh some, but nothing huge.)
She also comes to the aid of Susie (Australia) saying that Susie blew up at David because she was coming to the defense of her close friend Tori. But she also acknowledges that Susie has definitely been playing the game, as she has resigned herself to the fact that this trip is antithetical to what a Road Rules experience should be like.
Finally, she brings up what may be the common theme of this season. This season, production has been constantly shifting the rules and things are up in the air pretty much every episode. Beth mentions that in the last episode, the cast were carrying cake and milk in their go-karts, which is why they failed the mission. She claims they omitted this to make the remaining alumni look bad. She also claims that they made this last BMX mission impossible to send 1/3 of the cast into the Pit, so they could change up things in the RV. The tide has definitely turned against the alumni, who once enjoyed immense popularity from the fans at home. Is production actually at fault?

Press day for the Real World Las Vegas begins on April 23, signaling end of filming
Press have been invited to the Palms Hotel and Casino to speak to the cast of the Real World: Las Vegas about their new experience reuniting in their very same house and living with the same people while being filmed by cameras.
Castmembers have known to have already left for the city, so filming might or might not be happening right now. So far, press are barely picking up on reports of the cast being in Vegas, so no sightings have been confirmed of the cast, who will probably be more low-key since they have little anonymity this time around.
Every season after filming ends, the press are invited to the house, to tour the house and meet the cast, to film interviews and promos for the new season. Therefore, this season is slated to stop filming shortly before April 23rd. This series is scheduled to air on MTV this Summer.

Viewers Revenge Episode #11: TJ Lavin makes an appearance and the alliance may be broken
Tonight's episode marked an especially somber note for the cast, as they are faced with a major turning point with only four episodes left in the season.
Derek (Viewers Revenge) is sent into the Pit with Dan (Viewers Revenge). The two play gripbreaker and Dan says he wants to get back in the RV to put Tori (Viewers Revenge) and Susie (Australia) in their place for yelling at David (Viewers Revenge) last week. Derek is ready to defend his position. The two battle fiercely, but Derek is victorious and wins his spot back on the RV.
Upon coming back, Tori mentions that she wants Derek and not Dan to come back. It seems like some tension has developed (maybe via the blogs?) between Dan and his former castmates. When Derek gets back on the RV, it seems like the two are heavy-duty flirting.
The cast gets their mission and they know they will "drop in". They figure out that they're going to be working on some ramps, but little do they know that they will be performing death-defying tricks on skates and bikes in the mission. TJ Lavin is a guest host for this Challenge, as he leads the Roadies through six tricks. Susie, Tori and Derek are on skates. Adam (The Quest), Kina (Extreme) and David are on bikes.
Tori has to drop in and stick a sticker above a line on a ramp. She does it. Derek has to perform a long jump at the end of a ramp. He fails. Susie has to drop in on a steep ramp. She fails. Kina has to perform a high jump over a bar. She does it. Adam has to do a backflip into a foam pit. He does it. Derek has to do a front flip on skates. He fails.
TJ Lavin gives Adam the chance to do a front flip and land on solid ground. He attempts it, but they fail. The Roadies have to send a male and a female in the Pit and fail to bank $10,000.
The deliberations begin and we find out that David cannot perform because he injured himself in the mission. That leaves Adam, who claims he doesn't deserve to go in the Pit, and Derek, who would go into the Pit three times in the past four weeks. Susie volunteers herself, but in doing so, and realizing that she must work with the male nominee, chooses Derek for the Pit as well.
Derek looks angry, but the show didn't give his thought process about the nomination full exposure. We'll see next week how Derek will treat the cast and if they actually get back to the RV.

Denver Episode #23: Davis pisses off all the girls, especially Brooke, starts World War III
Davis (Denver) was the intense subject of scrutiny last night, as he let his mouth run a little longer than it ever should have. The episode opens out with Brooke (Denver) being all lovey-dovey with Davis. The two flirt, the two are friends. Awww.
So, the next night, Jenn (Denver) and Davis are drinking at the bar and Davis tells Jenn that Colie (Denver) is plain, Brooke has a double chin, and Jenn needs to lose about 10 pounds. Although Jenn is angry, she doesn't reveal her anger right away.
Instead, Jenn goes directly to Colie and Brooke, and tells them what he said. Jenn and Colie get upset, but Jenn doesn't tell either her or Brooke what Davis said. Brooke begins to dwell on it.
Meanwhile, Tyrie (Denver) is wrapping things up with Jazalle. He decided to take a "detox" from Jazalle and she keeps questioning the status of their relationship. Eventually, Tyrie gets tired of it and decides to break it off. Now, apparently, he can leave the stress behind and bring in "Darc Kent".
Brooke's parents come into town and she tells them about what's going on with Davis. Davis is extremely nice and cordial to her parents, which leads them to have a conversation about the possibility of Brooke confronting Davis about what he said.
Brooke decides to confront Davis, but decides to do so at a club, where they are both drunk. Davis tells Brooke the truth of what he says, and this sends Brooke off the deep end. Brooke runs home while crying, freaks out by throwing stuff in the house and screaming at the top of her lungs. She tops it off by writing a note on Davis' bed telling him to burn in hell. They are still both drunk by the way.
The two cool off, and the next day, they work out their problems and semi-apologize to each other, but it looks like the two are friends once again.

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.
