As the show opens, we see the team rallying around Jenn (Denver) to win the LifeShield. Susie (Australia) decides that she enlists the help of Colie (Denver) and Paula (Key West) to allow her to win the LifeShield. Susie is adamant that sending in Rachel (Austin), the girl powerhouse, would not backfire on their team.
The team gets their clue and they meet TJ to Norhood Peak at Silvermine's Nature Rerserve to play "Wrap and Roll". There's a 50-foot platform raised 1,000 feet above them and they have to wrap and unwrap themselves on the platform. It's a pairs mission in which the girl has to do the work. The team with the fastest combined time to cross the platform wins.
Every single team fails to complete the mission, until Susie and Alton (Las Vegas) step up to do the mission. It looks like they're both pretty concentrated on winning the LifeShield. Susie and Alton come through and win the Challenge, the LifeShield, the prize, and the $10,000.
The Bad Asses start fighting in the van on the ride home about throwing the mission and people sending other people in. Jenn and Susie arrive in the Inferno. Susie chooses Rachel to go into the Inferno. They'll play Ejection, which is hitting a target that tilts a platform which each player is standing on. Once the target is hit three times, that person's target loses.
Rachel wins the first round. Jenn loses the second round because she hit Rachel in the face. Jenn wins the second round. She finds out once that she attacks Rachel and the stick, she can knock her off. Jenn wins the Inferno. Rachel ends up losing and goes behind the stages and is ashamed that she lost.
Rachel ends up leaving without saying goodbye.
Next week: Rope Burn Challenge. Ace (Paris) and John (Key West) come into the girls room late at night, do something, and cause controversy.

Inferno 3 Episode #4: Post your reactions here
It's a girl's Inferno Day as both Susie (Australia) and Jenn (Denver) have been selected to go to the Inferno. It's also a pairs mission as the girls try to win the LifeSaver to save their butts from the Inferno. Anessa (Chicago) accuses Evelyn (Fresh Meat) of trying to get the other team to vote for her. Drama ensues. Will either Susie or Jenn be victorious in winning the LifeShield? Will someone else be sent into the Inferno?

MTV will begin to "View and Spew" the Real World and the Challenges; will not do it for Road Rules
If you've been keeping in tune with the recent developments over at MTV, you'll know that MTV is gearing its on-air content toward a more interactive approach. We've seen some of that with Road Rules this year, with some decidedly mixed results.
If you tuned into MTV last night, you saw Damien Fahey, MTV VJ, asking you to comment on your favorite MTV shows after they aired a new episode. You can actually send in videos to MTV.com and they'll air them in an upcoming episode of what they're calling View and Spew.
Both The Real World: Denver, which is close to wrapping up the season, and the Inferno 3 will be a part of the remix which begins Sunday, April 29 at 2pm. This is an effort to boost sagging ratings for the network, which is facing criticism in the light of the fact that even it's two flagship shows The Real World and Road Rules have consistently turned in low ratings this year.
They will not be doing View and Spew for Road Rules, presumably because the network wants to end the show as soon as possible. The show was set to air 18 episodes, but was cut short in order to coincide with the finale of Denver.

The RV is down in San Diego and the horns have been stolen
MM Agency reports on a story by the San Diego News Tribune in which we find out that the Road Rules horns have been stolen and unrecovered.
Last night, at around 9:45PM, the RV was in Pacific Beach in San Diego (the area where Brad (San Diego) and Robin (San Diego) were arrested) and three men were seen ripping the horns off the RV. When crew members followed the three men and caught up with them, they claimed that they didn't know where the horns were. The crew members informed police officers, who promptly took action.
The three men were arrested for public intoxication. The horns, however, are still missing. Expect this to be shown on this week's episode. The last time the horns were stolen, Sarah (Campus Crawl) tracked them down by meeting with the alleged kidnappers, much to the dismay of her teammates, who wanted her just to ignore them.

Charges may be dropped against the guy who hit Danny on the first episode of Austin
The Austin American Statesman is reporting that the man who hit Danny (Austin) in May 2005 on the very first week that they arrived in Austin may have charges dropped against him.
Ryan Getman, who was already on probation for a felony theft charge, was arrested after the incident. But in an attempt to revoke the probation as a result of the assault attempt on Danny, the Texas courts may have already tried and convicted Getman. This means, that Getman may have already been subject to thirty days in jail and anger management classes, which makes him unable to be put up for trial once again.
Here's the clip of the incident, which clearly shows Getman hitting Danny:

More corroborating evidence that MTV will put casting videos online for Real World 20
Brian Graden, an executive for MTV, gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times stating that casting for Real World 20 will be different this year.
People who have been sending in casting tapes have been receiving emails from producers who want to put their tapes online. The casting director will then send a release form, the auditioner signs it, and presumably in a few weeks, we'll see a gaggle of videos online from Real World hopefuls.
Graden makes it seem as if the entire finalist pool will be selected by the viewers, which would be a huge departure for the series, which traditionally casts the show with little outside input. However, the number of hopefuls who have been asked to post their videos online seems widespread, which seems to suggest that those who win the online portion of the casting process will be selected to go to a final round of casting with BMP in Los Angeles.
Two more casting calls have been announced. One in Buffalo, NY and one in Santa Barbara, CA. Check Bunim-Murray for more details.

"You in the Crew" sweepstakes chooses the final three contestants; Mike is winning
Ask.com partnered up with MTV to provide a chance for the viewers at home to get onto the RV, without having to go through the trials and tribulations of the casting process. Three finalists have been selected:
Kaitlin - a bubbly gymnast from Michigan
Mike - a strong-minded, fun gay guy who is majoring in entertainment public relations
Jarrick - a former football player/caddie from Illinois
Now, you can go to ask.mtv.com and vote for the person who you want to see in the Pit Crew. Since there are only three weeks left and only two weeks in which these finalists can join in on the fun since the first week has already begun filming, expect them to be up during the last week of voting.
If voted into the Pit Crew and into the Elimination Pit, they'll most likely have the chance to steal away an opportunity from a Road Ruler who will know nothing about their athletic ability. All this at the very last Pit. How's that for Viewers Revenge?

Viewers Revenge Episode #12: Susie and Derek return; The Pit Crew gets angry; David back up
Last night's episode of Viewers Revenge saw Derek (Viewers Revenge) and Susie (Australia) face off against Dan (Viewers Revenge) and Veronica (Semester At Sea). After doing a Pit where they had to push each other out of a circle, Susie and Veronica came out victorious.
The alumni were ecstatic to see the pair back on the RV, because the dynamic of the game would be completely changed had they lost.
The group finds out that they will be playing football at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA. This is a pit stop and they'll be playing under the tutelage of the San Diego Chargers. The Pit Crew is obviously at the RVers throats, as Ivory (Viewers Revenge) and Kristin (Viewers Revenge) have a couple of words for the RV crew.
Ivory is at both Tori (Viewers Revenge) and Susie's throats. The group is exchanging threats between each other and apparently are at odds over Ivory's blogs.
The football game is uneventful with the Roadies dominating. Tori bumps into Ivory and Dan, and momentarily gets hurt, but she shakes it off. David (Viewers Revenge) is accused of not being the greatest at the game, which is unexpected. The Road Rulers end up winning the football game 49-15.
The Roadies decide to vote David into the Pit and for the following reasons: He has volunteered; He wasn't good at the football mission; He hasn't been on long enough; He was saved last week. The group, including Derek decides to vote in David into the Pit.

Denver Episode #23: Jenn and Jared drama, Davis is involved; Brooke finds a man
On last night's episode of the Real World: Denver, we saw Jenn (Denver) finally confess to Jared, her boyfriend back home, that she had fooled around more than once with guys since she had been away.
Meanwhile, Brooke (Denver) talks about the lack of men in Denver and how hard it is to find one that is to her liking. The girls go out to a sushi restaurant, and Brooke exclaims that a guy she sees at another table is the "hottest guy she's seen since she's been there." Brooke decides to give him her number. She just gets up when she's leaving and drops off her number.
Jared comes into town and the cast goes off for a night on the town. Davis (Denver) runs into the bathroom with Jared and tells him that Jenn had sex with Alex (Denver) twice.
Brooke gets a call from the man she left the number with, Kyle. Brooke invites him to a club that night so they can get to know each other better. Kyle seems a bit nervous and hates sitting in the club, but the two are heavily flirting after the night is over.
Kyle calls Brooke and asks her if she wants to go bowling. It doesn't sit well with Brooke, who can't exactly iterate her frustration to Stephen (Denver) about bowling on the second date.
Davis wonders about what the reaction from Jenn will be. He tells Tyrie (Denver) that he's worried about it when he finds him on the street in Denver. Jenn then tells Jared that something happened with another guy, but they only fooled around. Jared got angry, walked out, and spoke with Tyrie, who told him that they actually slept together (Darnell and Jenn.) For a minute, Jared believed that Jenn hooked up with Davis.
Jared gets over it. Davis makes up with Jenn. Brooke and Kyle are TBD.

Inferno 3 Episode #3: Tyrie is out, Danny goes off the deep end, Susie/Jenn nominated
So it begins. Last night's episode began with the Challenge between Tyrie (Denver) and Alton (Las Vegas). The two had to hang upside down from a contraption and put together a puzzle that needed to be stacked in a certain pattern. Both had trouble with it, but Alton seemed to have it down, as he stacked as he grabbed the pieces. Alton easily won the Inferno.
The Good Guys are happy and are looking forward to winning their mission. Both teams begin discussing who they want to send to the Inferno. The Bad Asses seem to fall apart as Aneesa (Chicago) accuses Evelyn (Fresh Meat) of being in the competition for herself and not the rest of her team. Evelyn seems to be ganged up on by her teammates and storms out of the room.
The next day, the teams get to their mission which is to knock down a castle wall with a battering ram. The Bad Asses seem to want to go in a million different directions as everyone offers an opinion of what to do. Eventually, they decide to stack their strongest people in the back. The Good Guys develop a strategy involving their momentum, so they aren't stacking people.
The Good Guys end up winning the mission. Danny (Austin) then freaks out and gets angry with his team because the girls didn't defer to the rest of the team and wanted to do what they thought was best. The Bad Asses are obviously shaken up by the loss.
The teams have 30 minutes to vote who goes to the Inferno. The Good Guys pick Jenn (Denver), presumably because she's a weak target. The Bad Asses pick Susie (Australia), as she's one of the smartest and strongest on the team. Next week, the two girls will try to win the LifeSaver and the first girl will be sent home.
