Ricky Croft, the Key West boss, shows up on America's Most Smartest Model

Every once in awhile, the reality shows will cross over. You'll have one prominent member of a reality show show up on some other reality show. It's like one big, happy inbred family. Ricky Croft, who was the manager of Key West's mystic tan store, showed up on America's Most Smartest Model.

Although this isn't really news, Croft was hawking his mystic tan system and showed up for no particular reason whatsoever. The models won a challenge in which they were able to use the machine, but it seemed like the models didn't need direction to use it. Croft was just there to introduce the machines.

If you remember, Croft actually got a lot of criticism for calling himself the "eighth roommate" and starting a blog posting small details amongst the cast. Looks like he's moved on to other avenues.

Zach, with a new haircut, blogs about Sydney and now calls himself Isaac

Zach (Key West), who we haven't heard much of, recently sat down and blogged about the Real World Sydney. The article has a little picture of him that shows that he got a new haircut in which he looks like he's a completely different person. Other than that, he's scheduled to be on the upcoming Gauntlet 3. Since the show ended, Zach has been taking the time to produce his own movie, so I'm sure you will be hearing about that a little more as time goes on.

In the article, he gives you his opinion of each of the new roommates. Most prominently however, is the fact that he refers to himself now as "Issac", which may be his real name, and he may have used his nickname when he was on Key West.

Nevertheless, read the blog. it's a good read.

Janelle clears the air by confirming that she is not pregnant with Johnny Bananas' child

On last night's episode of the Inferno 3, the trailer made it seem that Janelle (Key West) might have been impregnated by her former roommate John (Key West).

She posted the following message on her MySpace blog:

NO people..... I'm not and was NEVER impregnated by Johny. I know you might have heard this on the first episode of the Inferno 3 during the brief trailer they showed of me and Johny talking. But let me just set the record straight NOW, so there's no questions about it. Johny loves to joke around and sometimes he goes a little far... i.e. pulling my top off in the ocean, yeah... I know you guys remember that. One of his favorite things to tell complete strangers when were working together is that we're married and expecting a child.... It's always funny, but people always know its not true... let's be real???? I will let you see how that episode plays out... can't give you too much information. But me and Johny are just friends, he's like a best friend to me.... never even seen that man's goods, and dont ever plan to. Enjoy the Inferno 3!!!!

Apparently, something occurs between them that causes some drama, but she won't reveal it until the episode airs. Keep watching!

Paula appears on the Keith Ablow Show to talk about her eating disorder

Paula (Key West) appeared on the Dr. Keith Ablow Show to talk about her experiences with eating disorders. She appeared with Clueless star Elisa Donovan to chat with Dr. Keith Ablow about her eating disorder experiences.

If you remember, Paula's roommates confronted her about her eating disorder in the early days of the Key West season. This forced Paula to finally accept the fact that she had an eating disorder. Later on, as the problems seemed to escalate, she went to counseling for her trouble with alcohol.

Paula will appear on the upcoming Inferno III which airs next week.

Svetlana to be on My Super Sweet 16 this upcoming Monday for MTVs Spring Break

Svetlana (Key West) is taking part in a My Super Sweet 16 celebration. Last December, when Fitz turned 21, she invited MTV cameras to come and document her festivities. Although no word on if she exhibited "Super Sweet 16"-like behavior during filming, I'm sure we'll nevertheless see some pretty interesting things from this episode.

She actually had her party at Mansion in Miami, which is a pretty popular club, so if no bad behavior from Svetlana, I'm sure we'll see some sort of debauchery. The episode airs next Monday, March 19. Check your local listings.

Beth posts her reactions to the Duel Reunion and takes issue with Diem

Beth S. (Los Angeles) has finally responded to the Duel's reunion special. Aside from a brief comment about the show being intended for drama and for her small rift with Svetlana (Key West), Beth heavily concentrates on Diem.

If you remember, Beth and Diem nearly got into it when Beth was calling out Diem for being fake. It never really materialized to anything, but Beth took to her MySpace to finally put the nail in the coffin.

Go over and read it. It's worth your time.

Zach has formed a movie production company with two friends; Filming of first movie will begin in February

Zach (Key West), who we saw living the sweet life only a couple of months ago, is part of a three-person movie production company called Building Block Productions. His partners, Tony O'Brien and Mark Sayre, are embarking on their first big film project, a movie tentatively titled "Perfect Sport" that will be filmed in a small town in Washington where the founders grew up.

Zach, who serves as executive producer on the project, is looking forward to taking the first step to his career post-Real World. After the press was over and done with in Key West, Zach realized he wanted to have a career behind the camera. "I knew that it was all fake," he says, "I knew that signing up. A steep decline was next, and I want longevity in my career. I have no desire to be an actor. I want to do work behind the scenes."

The first step that Zach is taking to achieving that, is to begin casting for his movie. Zach's production company will be casting in Seattle, WA, Wednesday, January 24 at Nova High School, 2410 East Cherry Street. They're looking for actors over the age of 25 to play high school-aged kids.

In addition to that special little feature, they also are going to debut running commentary from everyone's favorite Key West castmember Tyler. Tyler is still hard at work on his blog, which he updates rather frequently. So, be sure to check those things out as well.

Don't forget, an episode of the Real World: Denver airs tonight!

Don't forget: A brand new episode of the Duel airs tonight only on MTV

Tonight is another episode of the Duel. Unlike previous weeks in which we have told you the winner and loser of the Duel, we decided to give a break. It should be a surprise, as the preview for next week shows CT (Paris) in potential danger from being sent home.

Like we told you when the season first started, there will be several weeks in which we won't spoil the outcomes. So, be sure to check out the Duel tonight, as another male will be going home.

For those of you who are disappointed, we'll re-hash the outcome of the season, which we announced back in July. To find out the outcome of this season, highlight the following blurb: The final four are Brad (San Diego), Jodi (Extreme), Svetlana (Key West) and Wes (Austin). Wes and Jodi win.

A starstruck, nervous Paula goes on the Aftershow to talk about the Duel and flirt with Blair

Paula (Key West) went on the Aftershow this week and began with being a bit starstruck with Blair (The Quest).

She talks about being a newbie on the Challenges. Not having the team element messed up any hopes for the Key Westers. Especially since her roommates were Tyler (Key West) and Beth (Los Angeles).

She talks about she gravitated toward CT (Paris) and how they played pranks on Kenny (Fresh Meat). Then she talks about her relationship with Kina (Extreme) and got Paula through the first couple of Challenges.

She wanted to get picked for the Duel, especially after the mission with Aneesa (Chicago). She talks about wanting to do another Challenge and not be so intimidated the next time.

Then it's the basket game: Robin (San Diego): They shared their "craziness." Evan (Fresh Meat): The girls and Tyler (Key West) love Evan. Robin, Jodi (Extreme) both "tried". Tyler (Key West): Still pissed off at the reunion. Tyler likes the camera and pointing fingers. Aneesa: She's fun on Saturdays.

The S(*$ You Didn't See: CT playing with a hot dog weiner in his pants. The cast dancing in the streets of Brazil. Paula spilling drinks on himself.

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.

Paula was on the Tyra Banks Show talking about her season, Jose shows up to give support

In an item that was missed, Paula (Key West) showed up to talk to Tyra Banks on her show shortly before she left for South Africa for the new Challenge.

Paula spoke about how she was forced to come to terms with her eating disorder and the fact that she needed help once she came to Florida. She says that watching the episode made her painfully aware of how she was ignoring help and only her roommates opened the door for her to get help for herself. She told the audience to seek help if they thought they needed it and not to be afraid to let others in.

Then Jose (Key West) surprised Paula with flowers and came out just to give her his support. We wish all the luck to both Paula and Jose in the future.

Tyler hits up Blair in Episode #2's Aftershow talking about everything and anything

Freshly voted off, Tyler (Key West) visited Blair (The Quest) in the Aftershow this week, bringing us a whole bunch of dirt and his view of the cast.

Tyler begins by explaining how he knew that he would be targeted on the Challenge, even if a couple of Fresh Meaters were there. He also talked about how it was difficult for him, because he didn't like his cast too much.

Tyler then accuses Beth (Los Angeles) of being in bed with Nehemiah (Austin). He used this as an example of being as a disadvantage of The Duel, as the rest of the cast picked who they wanted to hook up with.

He also explains his choice in picking Johnny Bananas (Key West). He wanted to go against John because he knew that he had an advantage against John. But then, he explains his change of heart in picking Derrick (Extreme) the next time around. He also calls the guys cowards.

He calls Tina (South Pacific) and Beth S. (Los Angeles) bitches. Then he starts on his "popular" and "non-popular" rant about how "popular" castmembers gang up against "non-popular" castmembers (aka Beth). Then he calls everyone trashy for calling Tina trashy. He then goes into the Casey (Fresh Meat) and John connection as "Dumb and Dumber." He then praises Diem (Fresh Meat) and how he, Brad (San Diego) and Wes (Austin) cried after she took off her wig. Tyler says that he would want to come back, but only if he can play nasty this next time.

Then it was time for the game they play for talking crap about other castmembers for a free trip:

Kina (Extreme) - "No amount of hairspray will ever take the Jersey out of this girl."
Tina - "Fat, Asian chick"
Svetlana - Uses her "tits" to her advantage.
Aneesa - She looks like she's been used and abused on the corner of Rodeo.
Kenny (Fresh Meat) - Has a wrestling ring in his backyard, lives with his parents and has cartoon bedsheets.
CT (Paris) - Spawn of Satan. Male version of Emily Rose.

And the S$%* you Didn't See: Tyler and Kenny watching Evan (Fresh Meat) stretch out Wes. CT flirts with Tyler. Robin and Tyler dancing. Aneesa, Diem and Tyler highkicking.

Duel Episode #2: Tina is kicked off, Evan wins, Tyler goes to the Duel and is sent home by Derrick

Last night's episode of the Duel was exciting once again. As we told you, Tyler was targeted and the systematic elimination of the Key West cast continued.

Tina (South Pacific) was quickly sent home by TJ Lavin, who quickly told her that she would go home for what she did. Tina knew she'd go home, so she left without much of a fight.

The mission was a pairs mission with guys choosing girls. Evan (Fresh Meat) and Jodi (Extreme) pull out the win and then starts the chain. Eventually, Casey (Fresh Meat) is pressured to choose between Kenny (Fresh Meat) and Tyler (Key West), so she picks Kenny.

Tyler, in a surprise move, chooses Derrick, who sends him home. Next week: Aneesa (Chicago) is the center of controversy and the rollerderby mission looks rough for the girls.

Tyler will be performing his stand-up act with Three Dollar Bill at the Upright Citizens Brigade

Tyler (Key West), who is now living in Los Angeles post-Real World, will be performing with Three Dollar Bill at the Upright Citizen's Brigade.

Tyler is going to be performing an act that's based on his recent move to Los Angeles, so be sure to catch the act if you live in the area. It's a rather small theatre, so make sure to show up somewhat early to get tickets.

5919 Franklin Ave.,
Hollywood, CA
(323) 465-7980

The event starts at 9:30PM and it's this Friday, October 20. If you're in the LA area, be sure to support Tyler and his new comedy act.

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.

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.
