Road Rules Extreme's Derrick Hosts a Great Podcast

Back with some new Challenge news. Fresh on the last post's news that spoiled the Challenge Rivals final Jungle, there's a great Podcast that you guys should know about.

Derrick (Extreme) runs a fantastic podcast that invites former Real World and Road Rules alumni to talk about the latest news. With the Rivals Challenge airing now, Derrick usually has the most pertinent guests for that week's episode. With all the drama surrounding Cara Maria (Fresh Meat II) this week, Derrick invited her, Laurel (Fresh Meat II), and Abram (South Pacific) to talk about the last couple episodes.

There's some great stuff on this latest podcast. Abram abruptly leaves the chat early on, and CT (Paris) has something to do with it! Also, Cara Maria and Laurel give their opinions on the "mob", CT, and Jenn. Check out Derrick's Challenge Podcasts, as there is a great backlog of stuff. We'll keep you updated as he posts new podcasts week-by-week.

Jenn talks about how she was portrayed on the show, her time on the Inferno, and who's she still close to

Jenn (Denver) gave an interview with MTV Reality World to talk about her life in the past two years.

She talks about how she was casted, how she felt that her portrayal ended up, who's she still close to on her own cast, and how she felt about the Challenge experience in South Africa.

An interesting tidbit, Jenn auditioned for the Real World four years ago when she was fresh out of high school and made it to finals. Four years ago would have put her auditioning for the San Diego or Philadelphia cast.

Brooke posts a comment on her MySpace that presumably attacks either Colie or Jenn, but uses no names

In a world where reality doesn't stop after the cameras stop filming, it seems that Brooke (Denver) may still have a bone to pick with one of her old roommates. The recent episodes have focused around Brooke's struggle to feel comfortable in the house and the frustrations that come with that.

Recently, she posted a blog on her MySpace in response to someone saying Brooke has "deep-seated mental issues":

Thanks, friend. I'm not even going to try to defend myself. Now see, this is why I laughed inside every time you got wasted/high and told me how much you "love me" and consider me a "friend for life." Fuck you a thousand times.

We all know the real issue here: You were a mean-spirited, jealous, competitive, immature girl from Day 1. You never gave me a chance because of that. Well I have news for you: there is no competition. You know it, I know it, we all know it.

I don't care if you like me or not, but you pretty much blew me off as a waste of a human being. You have hurt me so much. And what's worse is that you are so dellusional and self-absorbed you could never see that or even care. You would be lucky to have a friend like me.

I am no longer going to try to win you over or figure out why, oh why, you just have to be so hateful to me for no good reason. I don't give a shit anymore.

So stop using the "f" word-- you and I are not friends. We never were and never will be.

I will be civil because I care about being professional, and I expect you to do the same. But please spare me the fakeness of pretending you give a shit if I were alive or dead.

Peace.

Was it for Colie (Denver) or Jenn (Denver)? You decide.

Denver Episode #13: The cast splits into two groups while one lives it up, the other becomes Outward Bound interns

Last night's episode saw the group being split into two. While Alex (Denver), Colie (Denver), Jenn (Denver) and Tyrie (Denver) were busy climbing up a mountain, Brooke (Denver), Davis (Denver) and Stephen (Denver) were back at home, fixing themselves up after being sick.

The Outward Bound group is completing a grueling two-day hike in order to be Outward Bound interns. While they have trouble competing the hike, the group that's back at the house in Denver is eating at a restaurant, having drinks, and going in the hot tub.

The Outward Bound group complains about the strenuous hike and how they worry that they will not complete it. Colie complains more so than most of the group, but then is elated when she reaches the peak of the mountain. The cast is overjoyed with their decision to stay in the group.

Meanwhile, back at home, Brooke is getting a full-on day at the salon, while the guys just relax. Back up on the mountain, Tyrie has an asthma attack on the end of the first day. Claiming that he knows his limits, he refuses to go on the second day. This leaves the self-proclaimed love triangle to hike up the mountain themselves. They make it to the end of an eight-hour hike.

Davis actually ends up making the decision to come back and join the group. Although he joins the group a little too late, the rest of the cast is happy to see him return. The Outward Bound group, minus Davis, is informed that they will now be Outward Bound interns and the three who stayed behind would be assistant interns.

Upon returning home, Brooke greets the girls in her bathing suit. This immediately annoys Jenn and Colie, but all in all, Brooke could care less and goes out back to lay out in the sun.

Denver Episode #13: Brooke, Davis, and Stephen are pampered at home while the rest of the cast roughs it in the wilderness

The next episode of the Real World has the cast roughing it, but as we continued from last week, Brooke (Denver), Davis (Denver) and Stephen (Denver) are at home, enjoying their time off. The rest of the cast seems to be perturbed, Tyrie (Denver) has a panic attack on the mountain, and Davis takes up drinking again.

The preview for this episode shows a different scene that's not been shown. It's unclear whether this is for this episode or an upcoming episode. It involves Colie (Denver) and Alex's (Denver) relationship.

Denver Episode 12: Brooke gets out of work, Colie ends up with the man of her dreams, Davis and Stephen join the fun

Last night's episode should have been themed, "Outward Bound Sucks". Brooke (Denver) makes it clear that she doesn't want to go on the trip once again. She complains that she'd rather die than have to spend five days sleeping outside. While her desire is imminently clear, she also somehow manages to roll her foot when chasing Davis (Denver) around the house. She concludes that she has to go to the doctor soon.

Meanwhile, Colie (Denver) is falling desperately in love with the Outward Bound Guide she met on the trip. Remember, she spent the night "flirting" with him when she was confined to camp because of her mono? Well, he calls her back telling her that he can't see her anymore because of Outward Bound. She's upset.

Brooke somehow manages to make it to the doctor and the doctor actually give her a note that says that she's not to do any physical activity (hiking, running, etc) for the next seven days. Brooke is elated.

Colie gets an email from her Outward Bound guide telling her that he's quit the job for her. The two meet up in an art show and are excited about exploring their relationship even though Colie is in an open relationship at home.

The group then goes to the local supermarket to buy food for the trip. Jenn (Denver) thinks Brooke is faking it because she's wearing heels with her brace. She begins to get on her nerves.

The cast makes it up to the mountain. Meanwhile, Davis is visibly sick. Once they make it up to the mountain, Davis immediately throws up. When they convene for a quick talk, Davis, Stephen (Denver), and Brooke all make it clear that they're not in their top physical shape. They're sent to get a doctor's clearance, along with Colie to clear her for her mono. The only one to pass is Colie, so Davis, Stephen and Brooke are sent home for the day or at least until they get better.

Then the best shot of the night, as the four who stayed in the mountains are climbing rocks and sleeping in the middle of nowhere with a flimsy shelter, you have Brooke and Stephen in the hot tub at night, drinking. Priceless.

Denver Aftershow #11: Dan joins the fun, Stephen drops in

Dan (Miami) joined the fun last night in the Aftershow. Dan has done three challenges, contributing to TVgasm, is a writer, writes for entertainment publications, has a blog, etc.,

Stephen (Denver) came in as the last roommate to make an appearance on the Aftershow. They discuss the hot tub scene first. He makes excuses for his actions, then says Jenn (Denver) was the most sensible in the house to keep him in check. After a caller calls in blasting Jenn, Stephen defends his choice of picking Jenn to take care of him.

The fight with Jenn resulted from Stephen trying to take something personal and use it against him. Then they get a question about Jenn running the house, which Stephen doesn't agree with. He did forgive Jenn fairly quickly, but didn't seem to think that things stayed the same between them.

He did admit that he was cheating on Mercii. He then gets asked if he was a role model on the Real World and how his Christian values conflicted with the show. He says that he was conflicted, but he never thought he was a role model. He says he wouldn't have hooked up with any of the girls in the house.

Then the last question he asks: He would kick out Colie (Denver) and bring in Janelle (Key West). Next week the guest is Alex (Denver).

Denver Episode #11: Emotions run high as the cast test each other and Brooke/Davis flirt

Last night's episode reach an epoch of sorts: either the cast was so drunk that they just had a breaking point in ridiculing each other or they genuinely learned to respect each other after all these drunken fights.

Two storylines pervaded the episode: the Stephen/Alex/Jenn storyline where they're all entangled in a web of personal insults and the potential Brooke/Davis hookup. Stephen had been out at clubs, making out with girls. Jenn claims to have been told to keep Stephen in check because he has a girlfriend at home, Mercii. Jenn, only doing what she was told, albeit drunk, tries to get Stephen to stop.

It culminates in Stephen and Alex bringing home three girls from a club and having a group kissing session with them in the hot tub. Jenn and Stephen, after they get home from a later night of partying, start to playfully ridicule each other, but it quickly turns menacing as Jenn brings up Mercii. The two explode, causing Jenn to walk away. However, when Jenn walks away, Alex tells Stephen to get back at her by saying the most personal thing he can think of, which for Jenn is her estranged father.

Davis, being the instigator he is, is a part of this conversation. Mid-way through Alex's tirade, he runs up to Jenn and tells her what Alex said. This sends Jenn straight down to Alex, while Brooke, Colie, Davis and Stephen look on, Jenn tears Alex down by saying he's a horrible person.

This has an odd effect on Alex, who begins to cry. After sobering up and a phone call to his mother, Alex tries to patch things up with Jenn and the two seem to be on good footing, for now.

Meanwhile, Davis and Brooke were flirting heavily. But nothing materialized. Maybe in a future episode?

Denver Episode #11: Davis and Brooke flirt, while Stephen's mistake may cause friction in the house

Tonight is another episode of The Real World: Denver. Here's the episode preview. While they return from their Outward Bound trip, it seems that Davis (Denver) may want a little more from Brooke (Denver) than her friendship. Plus, Stephen (Denver) tells his girlfriend back home that he may have cheated on her, only to be ridiculed later by Jenn (Denver), when she questions his true feelings.

Denver Episode #8: Outward Bound guides, Jenn gets a little wild (again), and lashes out at Alex

Tonight is yet another episode of The Real World: Denver. Be sure to catch it, as the cast gets their jobs as Outward Bound Guides tonight. As you see, Brooke (Denver) has some major trouble getting used to the job, but look for her to make the most dramatic turn by season's end. The cast will take Katrina survivors on Outward Bound Adventures for their job.

Here's the clip:

Denver Preview: Fight between Jenn and Tyrie centers attention towards Tyrie

"Blindfolding! Spanking! Girls Gone Angry! Too much fun in one night
leads Jenn into a drunken, mascara-smearing tirade, with Tyrie again
involved and at the forefront of said anger. Are you noticing a trend?
Watch Jenn get her beef on this and every Thursday at 10pm, only on MTV."

Denver casting special hosted by Paula and Tyler is now up on Overdrive

The casting special, which was originally thought to be hosted by Dan (Miami) but is now hosted by Paula (Key West) and Tyler (Key West), is now up on Overdrive. So here's a play-by-play:

Jenn - 22 (Martinez, CA) - Cheerleader since 5 years old. She used to cheer with the Oakland Raiders. She doesn't have many friends that are girls, but has many friends that are guys. She's a party girl.

Alex - 21 (Houston, TX) - Swimmer from the ASU swim team. No longer swims. Is more confident in himself as he grows older. Not a "chronic bachelor". Not ready to give the hard work for true love.

Colie - 22 (New Jersey, New Orleans) - President of her sororitory at Tulane. Remodeled her sororitory the day before Katrina hit. Her casting tape showed her touring destroyed New Orleans and helping rebuilding New Orleans. Claims drinking brings the worst in her.

Sneak Peek Clip: Alex kissing both Jenn and Colie on seperate occasions. Then the three of them kissing in a bar together.

Davis - 22 (Marietta, GA) - From Stetson University. Works at the Stetson University Post Office. Likes the attention of girls and the guys being jealous of him. Comes from an extremely Christian background. Has "two girlfriends" who he likes the attention from, hoping that they turn him straight.

Stephen - 22 (Sacramento, CA) - Goes to Howard University. Used to do things "by the book." Was Student Body President from the 6th grade. Student President of the Howard University, his fraternity, and he is a black Republican. Grew up Baptist in a Conservative environment. Part of the reason that he's not a Democrat is because of their support of gay marriage.

Sneak Peek: Stephen telling Davis that there's something wrong with him for being gay. Then Davis telling Stephen there's something wrong with him being black.

Brooke - 24 (Nashville, TN) - She's an only child. Both parents are psychologists. She is a girly-girl. At 14 years-old, she was dating a 18 year-old drug addict and she lost her virginity at 14. Never was a slut, but was "highly sexual." Has had anxiety problems since she was 8, has had panic attacks since she was 18.

Tyrie - 23 (Omaha, NE) - Goes to University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He has the reputation of being "anti-white" and his preference for white women is due to his "liking ass." Has gone through a rough childhood. He was in a gang. Tae Kwon instructor and has been doing so for eight years, he's an instructor at the university.

It then shows Brooke and Tyrie being accepted on the show. They're both at home and they are told on the phone they are accepted. Both yell and jump for joy.

Sneak Peek: Cast toast, girls on a bar, dare from Tyrie for Alex to lick Colie, sexual tension between Alex and Jenn, Jenn apologizing to Colie (crying), Davis and Stephen discussing homosexuality over lunch, Davis and Tyrie fighting with Davis hitting the pull-up door in frustration, Brooke yelling at someone. Then a little snipet of fun times. Then, Tyrie gets in Davis' face (which looks like another incident), Jenn fighting with Tyrie in a van.

Alex hooks up with Brooke and a server at Lodo's, the bar across the street from the house

Because castmembers are under contract and can't reveal much about the new season, MM Agency interviewed Lodo's, the bar across the street from the Real World: Denver house.

Amongst the things they reveal: Brooke (Denver) and Alex (Denver) actually hooked up. However, they do mention that when they were kissing, no cameras were around. There will be a focus on the relationship that Alex has with Jenn (Denver), however, there was no mention of Brooke in this equation.

Also, the interview mentions that Alex hooked up with a server from the bar for about two weeks and that it might be mentioned on the show. All in all, the interview gives the impression that Alex will be a central character on this upcoming season.

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.

New Challenge set in South Africa may be the third Inferno

Yes, the folks over there at Get Real Denver are reporting that this Challenge, currently slated to begin filming mid-October will be the second sequel to the Inferno. Now the first Inferno was obviously Real World vs. Road Rules, while the second Inferno was "Good Guys" vs. "Bad Asses". No word on what the "twist" will be this time around.

Also, they're reporting that Stephen (Denver) might have joined Colie (Denver) and Davis (Denver) as Denver castmates slated to appear in the new Challenge. I'm also getting a substantial amount of emails confirming various other alumni through hearsay in the internet. No concrete information as of yet, but we'll soon be getting confirmations.
