Las Vegas cast is cavorting with celebrities; Road Rules cast meets up with Vegas cast; Partial cast list of Challenge revealed

Hello! Hello! Interesting updates today...

According to several Las Vegas news sources, Las Vegas had plenty of close calls with famous celebrities. Most notably, the cast hooked up with bands O-town, who was at their closing party. A source reports that the cast was once seen partying on camera with model Tyra Banks and beau Sacramento Kings star Chris Webber, at ghostbar in the Palms. Will we see it? Who knows?

Also, there were reports in the Las Vegas Review Journal, that Road Rules 11 was in Vegas. Apparently, according to E-online's Wanda, they literally hooked up with the Real World cast. We do know that the Roadies end their southern trip with a four-day stay in mid-April running through Las Vegas, and apparently UNLV.

The Lost Season will premiere on MTV in August; Campus Crawl sits down with Wanda; Next challenge is Battle of the Sexes

Welcome! Welcome!

Let's start today off with some semi-new news! The Real World: The Lost Season will premiere on MTV on August 6th. They have already begun to run promos for the movie. The premise is that somewhere between the Back to New York season and Chicago season, something happened. BMP was filming The Real World: Vancouver with seven new strangers... but it was never aired. So, what happened? Well, apparently the cast was taken hostage by a disgruntled Real World fan who was rejected several times from all the shows. He threatens to kill them unless they allow him to live in the house. Expect cameos from David (Seattle), Melissa (New Orleans), Amaya (Hawaii), Mike (Back to New York), and Aneesa (Chicago). Sounds good!

Also, the hot maven Wanda from E-online recently had the opportunity to sit down with the cast of the Campus Crawl. You can read the transcript here... It's a pretty interesting conversation. There's nothing revealed about upcoming missions, but they do clue us in on a few things. Someone does get voted off... Everyone looks to Sarah. But is it Sarah? Hopefully... and it's looking good... BMP won't be that predicatable. It also says that Eric and Kendal develop a love/hate relationship (a la Adam and Ellen - RR10) and are not currently dating. Also, Kendal is currently dating Road Rules 10's Blair whom she met at their premiere party (a la Chadwick and Holly - Battle of the Seasons). They seem to be in love. Check out the transcript for more.

Also, there's huge buzz about the new Battle season. It will be called Battle of the Sexes... Pitting guys against girl this time. More info on it tomorrow... But they have recently begun filming in the exotic local of Jamaica!

Stephen arrested for prostitution; Cara's brother writes speeches for politicians; Las Vegas location confirmed; Rumors for Season 13

Welcome to the first blog of the site!

Let's begin with news of a past Real Worlder: Stephen from Seattle! It looks like Stephen has recently been arrested in Los Angeles. He has been accused of taking a car from it's owner without their permission. Unfortunately, this is a felony and Stephen was in jail. The Smoking Gun reported the incident back in March, when Stephen was arrested for taking possesion of a Camry. No word on what happened. But apparently, Stephen was booked on prostitution charges in January and failed to make a court appearance. At the time of his arrest, he was wanted for that too. As you recall on the Real World Reunion: 2000, Stephen mentioned he was doing some modeling and whatnot. Also, on MTV.com, it says that he worked as a talent agent for a website. The Smoking Gun contacted that website and confirmed that Stephen had not been working there and in fact hadn't heard from him in almost two years. No late word on this story as of yet.

Let's rehash some other interesting information of a current Real Worlder, Cara: For those of you who didn't read Stuff Magazine, Cara is the brother of Tom Daschle's speechwriter. For those of you who don't know who Tom Daschle is... He's big news in Congress... Also, Cara mentioned that the cameras reportedly caught her smoking pot and another one night stand that was not shown on the show. She told Stuff that she was misinformed of the hidden camera's purpose and believed it was for security.

And now news of Real Worlders future: It seems that the new season in Las Vegas seems to be a huge dramatic season. There are reports of a disagreement occuring between two roommates on the FIRST day. Also, Reality World TV reports that "the Season 12 roomies were the raunchiest cast ever...Remember the season in Chicago, when loose-caboose Cara hooked up with the singer from Big Head Todd? Well, she’s got nothing on the Season 12 hussy, who apparently did it with members of 311, Incubus and O-Town. And what’s a season without violence and the threat of dismissal? This time, there’s an inter-roomie fork-stabbing, blatant philandering, rampant Viagra use, crack, all-night ragers and pregnancy scares. Stay tuned..." Joke or no joke... It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

In confirmed news, the roomies will be moving in the 28th floor of the Palms Hotel/Casino. The Hotel is located on Tropicana Ave. a short way from the Strip. This year's cast is all over 21 because of the strict rule imposed by the casinos. So, casting was somewhat difficult for this year, selecting candidates seven out of 40,000+ applicants, ages 21-24. Reportedly, filming was moved back from January to February, because of casting problems. In late January, BMP held an open casting call, looking for locals to move into the house. The house is NOT a penthouse! It is a set of converted suites. There are rumors to how they actually get up to their house. The button for the 28th floor DOES NOT work for the elevator. So, either the roomies have their own personal elevator (doubtful) or they have to get off on the 27th/29th floor and go through a secret door. George Maloof, owner of the Palms, has confirmed that the group will work of the nightclub/swim/casino/bar venue Swim, promoting concert events, working, and whatnot. The Swim venue consists of sets of different colored pools, which are called "relaxing pools." Also, insiders do tell us that there is a jacuzzi and the house is PIMP. Also, production reportedly ditched their old cameras for new, updated, image-friendly versions. Plus, with the arrival of the filming of the Charles Angels' sequel "Halo", locals have happily greeted the Real World bringing its shameless promotion and production jobs, which is a lot more than we can say for Chicago. More info to come later.

Also, there is buzz as to which city Real World 13 will be filmed in. Close to production, it is rumored that BMP chose Atlanta. Using Key West, Denver, Minneapolis, and other cities as close second choices, BMP buys houses in several cities, chooses a city, and sells the other houses. And word is ATLANTA will be the site of Real World 13. Rumors have been circulating that Real World 14, will be another international season (Remember... Real World 4 was filmed in London) with the Carribean and Sydney as front runners. Rumors or truth... you decide...

Thanks and have a nice day!

Cribs will be doing an expose on the Chicago house

New news! MTV Cribs will be airing a short segment on the Real World XI: Chicago house. Cribs premieres soon, but it will be on the show titled Finest II. The outside of the house is pretty well known, so I'm sure Cribs will have a lot on the INSIDE of the house. From what we've seen, the house looks PHAT! Cribs airs every Wednesday at 10:00pm, check your local listings for showtimes.

Cast profiles for Chicago released; 9/11 may be profiled on the show

Hey! Told you we'd be back! Here's the news on the Real World Chicago! Trust me, it'll be a wild ride unlike the Real World has ever seen.

The cast:

Aneesa: A 19-year-old from Philadelphia. Her father is black and her mother is Jewish. She's described as a lesbian trying to find her place in the world.

Cara: A 22-year-old from Boston. A middle child of upper-middle-class Jewish parents, she's a student from Washington University in St. Louis.

Chris: A 23-year-old from Brockton, Mass. He's a gay recovering alcoholic who's been sober for eight months and regularly attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Kyle: A 22-year-old from Lake Bluff, Ill. An all-American golden boy with good looks and athletic ability. Princeton University student.

Keri: A 21-year-old from New Orleans. A southern blonde with a seemingly limitless circle of friends and acquaintances. She grew up on a farm in the Louisiana and her family is deeply rooted in Louisiana culture and politics.

Theo: A 19-year-old from Riverside, Calif. An African-America son of a pastor who is a ladies man. His move to Chicago is the first time he's lived in a diverse environment.

Tonya: A 21-year-old from Walla Walla, Wash. A blond-haired, blue-eyed woman with a "Baywatch body." Neglected by her mother, she grew up in the foster care system.

While in Chicago, the cast worked at Piece (a restaurant), a beach, and a newspaper. It is unclear why they worked at different places, whether they were given jobs this year or whatnot, so we'll see what BMP will show. Also, the cast was filming during 9/11, so I'm sure you'll see something about that, because the Sears Tower in Chicago was evacuated that day, and there was widespread panic in the city. Also, if you haven't heard... filming began with trouble.

Supposedly, the day the Real Worlders moved in, a shooting occured in front of the loft. Attention was brought to the Real World house because of the Chicago Sun-Times reporting the address of the loft in the newspaper. Protests begun to kick the Real Worlders out. Things happened from there, cast members were offered the chance to leave the show for next season. We'll see what happens, but I'm sure it'll be a great season. More later. Stay tuned.

The Blog makes it onto Blogger; Sarah from the Real World Miami spotted at a Britney Spears concert

Welcome! To the Real World Road! Our first ever venture into the territory of blog. Bare with us as initial changes are still taking place. All of the information that was once on the old site can still be seen! No worry! Click Here for pre-Blogger bliss!

Yes! It's true! We've switched to Blogger! Well, we thought that the Blogger stuff looked spiffy so here we are. A lot easier to update I must say! First thing's first: The Real World Chi-Town! More dish to come later including lesbian love affairs, the hatred of Theo, Chris' wild love affairs, and the second inter-cast member relationship since Hawaii??? Stay tuned! You won't want to miss this!

Here's the dish on our very first sighting! It comes from Mallory who spotted Sarah from the Real World: Miami!

"I was at the Britney Spears concert last night in Philadelphia, and after my two friends and I got out tickets scanned, we walked into the lobby and my friend goes "Oh man..Is that...it is!" It was Sarah from Real World Miami selling glowsticks! So we stood there like idiots and stared at her, and she saw us and she mouths "Yes it's me..It was a long time ago." We were amazed! We came back a little later to buy glowsticks from her because we felt bad for gaping at her, but she was so cool about it. We talked for a little while and she said it was funny how only the older teenagers (seniors in highschool, like us) and younger moms only recognize her and their kids are like "who is this chick?". She was really cool and she also gave us some background info on the concert. Not backstage passes or anything, but it was till cool. She's so nice and looks just the same! Hey - I'm definitely going to keep that glowstick!"

Thanks Mallory! More to come soon guys! Hold tight!

Casting for Road Rules 11 and Road Rules 12 is underway; New art for New Orleans cast is available

Hello! Hello! BMP is NOW accepting videos for
Road Rules 11 and Real World 12. Location is already decided upon,
but has not yet been released. The four locations, announced by a BMP
spokesperson, for Real World 12 were Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
and Las Vegas. Las Vegas was the front runner. And probably because
of what has happened in Chicago, Las Vegas will be picked, because
the kids are most likely not to be bothered in Las Vegas, where there
is filming all the time. If you might remember, Las Vegas has been considered
since Boston. Hawaii's original location was Las Vegas but for
some reason, it was quickly changed last minute. Also, there are only 11 spots open instead
of the usual 13, because two of the original Chicago cast members dropped
out of RW12 because of the shootings. Submit Your Tape at:

Attn: Real World/ Road Rules Casting

6007 Sepulveda Blvd.

Van Nuys, CA 91411

No open calls have been announced or deadlines have been set. Good Luck to those
who apply.

Lionel Milton, who you saw on the RW New Orleans as Melissa's artist friend,
still loves the Real World. He made computer shot-outs that look awesome.
Visit his site to send a shot-out to your
closest friends.

Rumors about the Battle of the Seasons cast; Chicago collage to showcase the new cast

What's going on? Yes! News two days in a row! OK! Here goes nothing. I've been searching around on sites of Real World Chicago pics. I formulated a collage of every possible cast member. It just puts them all together. The majority of the pictures are from liquidgeneration.com. Other pictures are from realityworldtv.com, realworldblows.com, and facelink.com/beck612.

Just go ahead and click below to check it out. These are not our pics, visit the above sites to get access to the originals.

RW11 Cast Collage

I just forget about the most important things! The jobs at Piece are
short-lived. The Chicago Sun-Times report that they are currently not letting
the cast members work. They are reportedly "not currently on the schedule". Thanks
so much for the people who gave us the sightings... WE NEED TO POST THEM! Anyways,
we heard the 45-minute wait for Piece isn't worth it.

Here's the Challenge tally so far peoples:

New York: Heather, Norman

San Francisco: Puck, Jo

Miami: Flora, Mike

Seattle:Lindsay, Stephen


Back to New York: Mike

Australia: Chadwick, Christina

Maximum Velocity Tour: Theo, Holly

The following are TOTAL guesses. It's from speculation
I got and reasoning. Some of them are just total guesses in the
dark. This is pretty fun. LOL.

Los Angeles: Beth S., David


London: Mike*, Sharon

Boston: Jason*, Elka

Hawaii: Teck, Ruthie

New Orleans: Kelley, David*

Back to New York: Lori

USA Tour 1: Shelly, Mark

* = rumored to be STRONG possibilities.

By the way, it is still VERY unclear if this Challenge will pan out like hoped
for. There are rumors that filming of the Challenge might be pushed back
or whatnot with RW11 going overseas. This is the first time production
will film two different RW/RR projects at one time! It can be done!
Filming is slated to begin in September.

Mike and Lori rumored to be a part of the new Challenge; Melissa and Danny get into a car accident

It seems that Mike from the current Real World season will be joining the cast of the new Real World/Road Rules Challenge! We're also getting conflicting reports as to the female joining the cast, but we think it's Lori! We might be wrong! But we're almost sure that we're right! LOL... That's it for today kiddies. Got to go. Oh yeah, I've been getting news that the Challenge is still having problems signing people... hopefully that'll work out.

Melissa also got into a car crash with Danny of the New Orleans season. They aren't hurt, but someone else was injured along with them. Read about it at Melissa's site, Princess Melissa.
