The Real World Denver two-minute trailer shows up Overdrive, transcript is here

The Denver trailer has been posted at Overdrive. This is the 2-minute clip that is airing on MTV. It introduces us to the conflict between Alex, Brooke, Colie, Davis, Jenn, Stephen and Tyrie. We've tried to make it as coherent as possible, but it's a full transcript of what is said. Without further ado, here's the transcript:

It opens looking at the mountains of Denver, storm clouds abrewing. To the house.

Brooke: Don't you talk to me like that ever again!

Stephen and Davis confront each other.

Stephen: I think it's wrong that you're gay.

Davis: What if I said that I think it's wrong that you're black.

Alex and Jenn are in the living room/shower.

Jenn: Do you trust me?

Alex: I am really attracted to you a lot.

Jenn: I am so sorry. I don't want to do that to you.

Ambulance screeches by.

One of the girls crying.

Tyrie: I'm trying to talk to you like a man, but you're gonna walk away from me like a boy?

Davis: I think I saw something last night that just kinda scared me.

Davis fighting with what looks to be Tyrie, with Brooke in between the two of them.

Colie: You worry so much about being here.

Alex: If you want to be with me, just tell me you want to be with me.

Jenn: You asked me to be this person and now you're yelling at me.

Davis: Living here is the most unstable environment I've ever been in.

Stephen yells at Jenn.

Stephen: You shut the fuck up. You don't even know what's going on here.

Stephen, Davis and Alex talking in the kitchen about Jenn.

Alex: Everything she says is to get you where she's at. You take the most personal things you can ever think of and crush her right there.

Jenn is crying in the arms of Davis with Brooke and Colie standing nearby.

Jenn: Life isn't about Tyrie. Welcome to the real world. This is not Tyrie's world, this is ours.

Jenn gets up to fight.

Brooke: Stop it! Stop it!

Alex: If there's one girl I would want to be with, it would be you.

Tyrie (to someone not on the cast): I want you here, I called you my baby for a reason.

Brooke: If I can't even talk normally... just... I hate this place. God!

Tyrie: I'm not taking the blame for that.

Alex (to Jenn): You know you've said things and I've said some things and you know that you're a wonderful person. I love you so much.

Tyrie: Yes or no?! Did you leave him? I'm not taking a backseat to anybody, if you started it, I'm gonna squash you.

Davis (crying): If you're gonna hit me ever, you hit me right now.

Unidentified male: Everybody sometimes messes up.

Davis: My worst nightmare is if I had done what I did last night.

Davis leaves the house gate with a bag over his shoulder.

Yet another MySpace message confirms that Johanna will be a part of this next Challenge

So, MySpace is the wave of the future, I suppose. After confirming that Ace (Paris) and Paula (Key West) will be on the next Challenge. Here comes another confirmation via Paula's comment on Johanna's (Austin) MySpace:

"uhhhohhhhh.... I get to finally meet your cute ass....yippeee!!! see ya soon, xoxoxo hope all is well, take care :)"

So, now the question is: Will Johanna's boyfriend Wes (Austin) be joining her in Cape Town, South Africa? Only time will tell. But now we can officially add Johanna to the list of castmembers headed to the next Challenge.

Diem graces the pages of Glamour; She may be in a documentary to be aired later on MTV

Diem (Fresh Meat), who was triumphed over her fear of taking off her wig in front of her fellow castmembers and the rest of the world, is in the pages of Glamour Magazine this week.

In the article, she mentions how she handled the diagnosis, the pain that it caused her and her family and why she went on the Challenge even after she had found out that she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The article also reveals that Diem filmed a documentary for MTV about her chemotherapy treatments, that may be aired later this fall.

Check out Diem's website which is at www.l4tc.com. You can also check out the article on newsstands or you can read it online here.

Ace's MySpace posting confirms that he will be at the Challenge and it will be filmed in Cape Town, South Africa

Ace (Paris) posted a new message at another of his friends' MySpace. This time, he pretty much confirms what we had speculated in the last post.

"So I hear Draigo Productions is about to take over ATL!! Hold the fort down till I get back from Capetown in November!!"

Several implications stem from this: Ace will be going to the Challenge. By association, Paula (Key West) will be going to the Challenge. And now a new piece of information, the city they are headed to is Cape Town, South Africa.

MTV finally formally introduces us to the seven strangers by opening up the Denver website

So, the ceremonial MTV website release has come for The Real World: Denver. Up to now, we've only seen the castmembers in individual photographs or in videos that have hit the web or in those promos.

But now, MTV has opened up the new website which lets you get up and close with this new group of seven. The website also reveals that the cast will be working as Outward Bound guides for Katrina survivors.

So go check out the new cast. The new season begins November 7th.

Paula and Ace may be headed to South Africa according to comment left on Paula's MySpace

Ace (Paris) left a comment on Paula's Key West) MySpace saying that she better get ready for next week, because living with him is like living with an open bar.

So, again, just like the Cameran (San Diego)/Susie (Australia) comment, they may be reading a little too much into a MySpace comment.

Or, of course, this could mean that both Ace (Paris) and Paula (Key West) will be headed to South Africa for the new Challenge. Look for more confirmations this coming week.

Tina visits Blair in the premiere episode of the Duel's Overdrive Aftershow

"Straight after beating the sh*% out of Beth (Los Angeles)", Tina (South Pacific) was invited to sit in with Blair (the Quest), who was celebrating his 50th episode of the Aftershow.

She was actually wearing a College Dropout shirt on the show. They started with talk about the alliance she shared with Kenny (Fresh Meat) and how Tina didn't vote for him. Although she acknowledges it as a stupid decision, the two don't talk as much as they used to.

She also hinted at a hook-up between John (Key West) and Casey (Fresh Meat). But then she went into the Beth explanation and how she "body checked" her after the mission when no cameras were around ("Just to get it out of her system") which began the fight.

Tina loves Svetlana (Key West). She mentions that Beth's mole is missing. She calls Evan (Fresh Meat) the biggest scumbag. She gets Casey back from her Aftershow appearance by calling her out on who she slept with. She gives props to Diem. She calls Johnny "not the brightest bulb in the bunch". She loves Kenny (Fresh Meat). She says Jodi (Extreme) is a lot of brawn, no brains. She says Tyler (Key West) doesn't care about what he says about people.

And finally, "The Sh*& You Didn't See": John and Evan playing a "Jackass-like" game. Johnny Bananas throwing bananas at other castmembers. And Tina running into the sand circle even after TJ Lavin gives the group repeated directions NOT to.

That's the Aftershow episode for the first season. If you missed the first episode, be sure to catch it on MTV or you can actually watch it on Overdrive.

Duel Episode #1: Fitz picks Tyler, Tyler sends John home, Diem triumphs and Tina hits Beth

The first episode of the Duel just finished airing. The first episode of the season delivered and there was no shortage of drama. As the previews special on MTV showed, Svetlana (Key West) was picked to choosed between John (Key West) and Tyler (Key West). Svetlana picked Tyler who then chose John (with the reasoning that they would eventually send John anyway), who then sent home John in a rather lame Duel.

The real pivitol moment came when the girls were performing at their mission. Diem (Fresh Meat), who had just gone through chemotherapy, hesistantly took off her wig amongst her fellow castmembers, which sent a wave of pride for Diem's courage. (Visit Diem's website.) Diem ended up winning the Challenge, but shortly thereafter, Beth (Los Angeles) went to Tina (South Paciffic), confronting her about being pushed. And then ensued the now infamous clip that was played over and over and the episode ended.

Next week: We find out what girl goes home. (It's not hard to figure it out.)
