Johanna continues to post her views about the Sydney cast over at RealityDish

Johanna (Austin) first shared her views about the Sydney cast during the casting special. Now she's turned around and given us what she thinks about the first few days of the cast now that they've moved into the house.

Reality Dish posted an article where Johanna talks about the interesting dynamic that took place in Sydney the first day. She blames a lot of the drama on the producers and how they choose who comes to the house first. She was almost certain that KellyAnne (Sydney) and Trisha (Sydney) were one of the first to arrive, because they were most likely to cause drama. She was also certain that Isaac (Sydney) and Shauvon (Sydney) met each other first to stir romantic inclinations. She compares this to her first day where Rachel (Austin) wanted to immediately room with her, but Johanna told her to wait until the other castmembers came through the door. She also says that she and Wes (Austin) were made to meet each other first, as were Danny (Austin) and Melinda (Austin).

Johanna goes on to comment on the fights between the girls. She says that the only team she seems to be on at this point is "Team Cohutta", although she is taking a liking to Shauvon. Check out the article for more.

Alton will face Evan, Kenny will face Tyrie, Beth S. will face Tonya; Wes and Johanna will host

In two months, former Real World and Road Rules alumni will battle it out in three boxing matches to find out who's the real competitor amongst the group. Alton (Las Vegas) has agreed to face off against Evan (Fresh Meat). Kenny (Fresh Meat) has agreed to face off against Tyrie (Denver). And finally, with what should be called the title match as these two have had some bickering in the past, Beth S. (Los Angeles) will face off against Tonya (Chicago).

The three pairs will train for the next two months in order to square off against each other in a "professional boxing match" which will allow each winner to retire as an "undefeated professional boxer". No details are given about the organization is running the event, but all proceeds will go to charity.

The event is scheduled for October 20, 2007 at the Celebrity Theater in Pheonix, AZ. There's no word yet on when you can buy tickets but you can check out the website here.

Johanna tells RealityDish what she thinks of the Sydney cast after watching the casting special

Johanna (Austin) blogged about the first episode of the Real World Sydney that aired last week. In it, she talks about her personal feelings about the seven new strangers from the perspective of someone who went through it several years ago.

You can check out what she said here but, in her blog, she takes issue with KellyAnne's (Sydney) seemingly insecurity with herself and Dunbar's (Sydney) action with KellyAnne in the hot tub.

She pretty much sides with the rest of the cast, praising them for their five minutes on television last week. Check out the article, it's an interesting read.

Johanna posts pictures from the Gauntlet 3 of girls just being girls

Johanna (Austin), who is a part of the upcoming Gauntlet 3 Challenge, recently posted some new pictures on her MySpace of the Gauntlet 3.

There are other photos surfacing out there, but this one has a pretty good group shot of a large group of girls huddled around in their "costumes" for some sort of party the group had when they were in Mexico.

Check out her MySpace for more information.

Danny and Melinda, the third Real World couple scheduled to be hitched, may tie the knot soon

In the spirit of our last post reporting on Rachel (San Francisco) and Sean's (Boston) anniversary, we're reporting on the third couple scheduled to be married, Danny (Austin) and Melinda (Austin).

Way back when, when the reunion aired, the pair were aiming to have their nuptials in Spring 2007. I actually received a few emails that the pair is scheduled to tie the knot fairly soon, but I have no real confirmation. Danny, who is appearing on the upcoming Inferno III, and Melinda will become the third Real World couple to marry.

The other Austin couple, Wes (Austin) and Johanna (Austin) are still together and splitting their time between Arizona and Los Angeles. Those two have put off plans for their engagement until Wes finishes school at ASU.

Duel Episode 12/13: Interesting night of the Duel tonight with two episodes after a week of no Duel

This week, MTV returns with two episodes of the Duel, while we had to spend one week without a Duel episode. Here are the two upcoming previews for each of the episodes. One should be a male duel, the other should be a female duel. However, it shows that Wes (Austin) and Evan (Fresh Meat) clearly fight about some sort of strategy in the first episode, while the second episode (highlight to read)shows CT (Paris) in the Duel with Brad (San Diego), which CT loses. This is also where the fight between Wes and CT takes place. There obviously should be a female duel somewhere this night, but the drama seems to surrender the guys. This trailer, which is not being shown on MTV, also shows CT making light of Wes' relationship with Johanna (Austin).

A few alumni will be showing up in Milwaukee as a reunion in a club appearance

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

Nehemiah calls out Danny, Danny proposes to Melinda, the cast hates each other

If you missed last night's Austin reunion special, there's plenty of drama that you missed. Apparently, tons of stuff happened between the cast from the end of filming the show to the filming of the actual reunion special. Here's a couple of tidbits:

Rachel said she was on good terms with Nehemiah and Wes. Although they aren't the best of friends, she was glad that she knew where she stood with the two of them through out the season.

Danny and Melinda called out Lacey for talking behind people's back. While Lacey fully admitted to talking behind people's back, she also said that she wouldn't have said anything behind people's back that she didn't say to people directly. They seemed angry that Lacey had told Johanna that Wes and Melinda had kissed early on in the season, and then lied about it. Johanna defended Lacey, and Lacey said she told Johanna the truth the next morning. Both Danny and Lacey admitted that their relationship had deteriorated to nothing. But Lacey said there was no relationship there in the first place.

Lacey is still together with Ryan. Then Nehemiah made some off-handed comment about how it was easy to stay together if you weren't having sex.

Rachel is still together with her boyfriend.

Nehemiah professed to liking Lacey a lot more outside the house, after watching the show. Rachel and Nehemiah also seemed to patch things up as they took their friendship in smaller doses.

Wes and Johanna revealed that they were dating. During the final days in the house, the two got closer and once the show was over, the two decided to be exclusive. Wes is no longer allowed to talk to Wren.

Danny proposed to Melinda in Central Park the night before. The two moved in together and bought a house in Boston.

Susie, the TRL host, had asked where the cast stood with each other. This is where all hell broke loose. Danny and Melinda were saying something, then Nehemiah broke in, pointing out that Danny and Melinda had changed dramatically. Then it became a fight between Danny and Nehemiah of who had the bigger ego. Once that got heated, Wes stepped in and told Nehemiah to shut up and be respectful of a friend. Wes then accused Nehemiah of berating Danny and Melinda only in front of the cameras. Rachel then stepped in and said that the two had changed, ignoring her phone calls and emails. While they did hang out in Boston and Los Angeles, Rachel said that it was "horrible" and they could never "look her in the face".

Then, Susie, looking overwhelmed, after a very heated reunion, signed off telling the cast that they hoped that they would resolve their differences. Danny, Melinda, Wes and Johanna will all be a part of the Fresh Meat Challenge which should be airing in mid-2006. The Sh*! They Should've Shown, the bloopers episode, will air next Tuesday at 10PM. They will be re-airing the reunion special at regular intervals until then.

What's really news is the very short preview that they showed on the Key West season. Key West is slated to debut February 28. They revealed the names of the castmembers which are Janelle, John, Jose, Paula, Svetlana, Tyler and Zack. And besides showing the back of castmembers heads, some of them running a flight of stairs, and a whole lot of shots of the hurricanes that hit Key West, the promo revealed nothing but their names.

John, Jose, Paula, Tyler, Svetlana, Zach rumored to be the cast for Key West; Melinda, Danny, Johanna are the first to be kicked off Fresh Meat

In an otherwise slow news cycle, adding to the preliminary list of members of the Key West cast is Jonathan from Pittsburgh, PA. So far, Jonathan, Jose, Paula, Star, Tyler, Svetlana and Zach are the seven strangers of The Real World: Key West.

Also, in a little bit of more news that we can confirm... The first few castmembers kicked off the Fresh Meat Challenge that is currently winding down in Australia are: (highlight to read)

Danny (Austin) is the first to be kicked off followed by Melinda (Austin) followed by Johanna (Austin)... No word on the fate of Wes (Austin). The Austin cast are the first to get booted out, but it didn't seem to hamper the spirits of Danny and Melinda. There are rumors circulating like crazy that the two are engaged, sparked off by the diamond ring that Melinda is wearing on her ring finger.

The location for the Fresh Meat Challenge is in Australia; Danny, Johanna, Melinda, Wes are there

The tentative location for the Fresh Meat Challenge, which begins filming October 15, will be in Australia. So far, we have confirmed that Danny (Austin), Johanna (Austin), Melinda (Austin) and Wes (Austin) will be participating. This isn't the first time BMP has headed Down Under. The sixth season of Road Rules was filmed entirely in Australia and New Zealand. BMP has previously fiddled around with the idea of taking a season of The Real World down to Sydney, so this might help push production to do a season in Sydney.
