Sean is up for reelection in Congress this November and faces stiff competition

The Real World Boston's Sean is facing a tough challenge this November as his congressional seat is up for re-election.

Sean from his appearance on the Real World: Boston

Sean won the seat in 2010, which was held by longtime congressman Dave Obey, a Democrat. Sean, a Republican, won the seat in his home district in Wisconsin. Sean had been living in Wisconsin, working as the Ashland District Attorney. That being said, his seat, which was held by a Democrat for many years, is looking to be one of the most contested races this November.

Pat Krietlow, a former news anchor, is running for the seat. Polls conducted as early as last year show that Sean faces an uphill battle to keep his seat. Sean is married to Rachel (San Francisco) and they have six children together.

Brad and Tori have a Real World/Road Rules baby!

Brad (San Diego) and Tori (Viewer's Revenge had yet another Real World baby!

Yesterday, August 11, 2011, Brad and Tori welcomed John Fiorenza, weighing 7 lbs, 12 oz, measuring 21.5 inches long. The two met while filming the Gauntlet III and got married in April 2010.

This is not the first Real World baby: Sean (Boston) and Rachel (San Francisco) have six children of their own, while Judd (San Francisco) and Pam (San Francisco) also have two children. Chadwick (Down Under) and Holly (Maximum Velocity Tour) also have a child. John is the first Challenge and Real World/Road Rules baby.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Today is Sean and Rachel's eighth wedding anniversary; The couple have four children

The first Real World couple to get hitched is having their eighth wedding anniversary today. Sean (Boston) married Rachel (San Francisco) on April 4, 1999 after they both appeared together on Road Rules: All-Stars. All-Stars is now known as the first season of the long running series of Real World/Road Rules Challenges.

The couple have four children together, ranging from the ages of 1 to 7. Sean is a district attorney in Ashland, WI and made headlines in 2004 when he was seriously mulling a run in the United States Congress. Rachel spent most of her time trying to make it as a television host, hosting many short-lived series and local programs, but most notably, was a candidate for the fifth co-host chair on ABC's The View.

Sean and Rachel are one of two married Real World couples. The other is Pam (San Francisco) and Judd (San Francisco) who married after dating for several years. Also, the lone Road Rules couple who is engaged, Chadwick (Australia) and Holly (Maximum Velocity Tour) are still very much married.

Sean and Rachel may be pregnant again; Mystic Tan for sale; Matt is engaged

There was a potential sighting that bears some news for Sean (Boston) and Rachel (San Francisco). Sean made an appearance with Ruthie (Hawaii), Landon (Philadelphia) and Tonya (Chicago) at the Muskegon Summer Celebration in Michigan. A fan who ran into Sean reports that Rachel may be pregnant with the couple's fourth child. Congratulations to them.

If you have around $30,000 to spend, you can buy Mystic Tan, or at least the set the cast used in Key West. Check out the Ebay auction here.

Today marks the 7th Anniversary of Sean and Rachel's marriage

Happy anniversary to the first Real World alums ever to get married. April 4th marks the seventh wedding anniversary of Sean (Boston) and Rachel (San Francisco). If you're keeping count, the couple have a six-year old daughter Eva Pilar, a 4-year old son Xavier and a daughter who will turn one this month Lucia Belen. While Sean is serving as district attorney of Ashland County in Wisconsin (he made headlines a couple of years back when he was mulling a run for Congress), Rachel is co-hosting a Lifetime television show with Florence Henderson. Congratulations to the couple who we wish all the best!

Rachel was selected as a delegate for Wisconsin at the RNC

We reported earlier that Rachel (San Francisco) and Sean (Boston) were in attendance at the Republican National Convention in New York. The Associated Press is reporting that Rachel was selected as a delegate for Wisconsin. Congratulations to Rachel on that!

Philadelphia profiled in Teen People Magazine; Sean and Rachel appeared at the RNC

October's issue of Teen People Magazine has an article about The Real World: Philadelphia. I'm told the article contains pictures of both the cast and the house. Check it out.

And I keep getting emails about both Sean (Boston) and Rachel (San Francisco) being at the Republican National Convention, being held all this week in New York City. The married couple are both heavily involved in conservative politics, as Sean is Ashland County's District Attorney and he played around with the idea of running for Congress last year. While, Rachel publicized her Republican viewpoint by being the "conservative panelist" on ABCs The View. If you watch long enough, you might catch a glimpse of them.

Sean and Rachel appear in TV Guide with their three children

Married couple Sean (Boston) and Rachel (San Francisco) both appear in a blurb in TV Guide's cover story that hits newsstands next week. In it, you can see a picture of the happy family including Sean, Rachel, and their three kids Evita, Xavier, and Lucia. If you can't wait to check it out next week. Take a peek at it here:

Rape occurred at the San Diego house; Paris castmembers at the Inferno Challenge; Rachel doesn't get the co-host spot on the View

THESE ARE SPOILERS:

This is worth mentioning: The very night the thirteenth season of the Real World wraps up in Paris, we see the San Diego brats screaming for their piece of the pie... After a lot of flux about internet rumors, it has been confirmed by the San Diego Police Department. There has been an incident at The Real World: San Diego house. There has been an alleged rape that is currently under investigation at the house. Since it happened (about 10 days ago), there have been rumors flying like crazy. Apparently, a friend of one of the male roommates named Justin is the main suspect in the case. A 22-year old woman is said to be the victim of the rape case. Bunim-Murray Productions has made a statement about the allegations, telling the media that they are fully cooperating with the police. The news made the CNN.com front page at 10:25EST tonight. Here is the link. This, comes after much publicity of the San Diego season. Since the cast moved in a couple of months ago, another female roommate, Robin was arrested for a bar brawl. There are also heavy reports being circulated that another female roommate, Frankie has left the cast. A replacement was apparently brought in; a male castmember, Charlie. All together, you will see Charlie (M), Brad (M), Jacques (M), Randy (M), Cameran (F), Robin (F), Jamie (F) and Frankie (F) appear on the next season of the Real World. The next season of the Real World will begin airing in January, alongside the next installment of the Challenge, which is being called the Inferno. For more information on the Real World: San Diego, check out Real World: SD.

Speaking of the Inferno, full lists of the participants of the Challenge are circulating but have yet to be confirmed officially. Expect to see Mallory, Ace, CT, and Leah from Paris join this upcoming Challenge. You'll see them next week in the Paris reunion...

And after all that hoopla, Rachel (San Francisco) failed to make the final cut for The View. She lost out to Survivor's Elisabeth Filarski Hasselback.

The new release date for Jacinda's (London) movie Ladder 49 was recently announced as October 8, 2004. It was moved back from November 2003.

Rachel is the frontrunner for co-host position on the View; Jacinda set to star in Bridget Jones Diary 2

Are we back? Yes. Due to unforeseen circumstances entailing a lot of different things... (How convoluted is that?) We are back. After a few months on hiatus... We're back with news. There are a few things going on and we just like to update you on some of them. Here are a few:

Rachel (San Francisco) is looking to be the front runner for ABCs The View. Rachel is competing against reality TV cutie Elizabeth Hasselback of Survivor: The Australian Outback fame. And she is also competing against Erin Presley, of the now defunct show Port Charles...

So why is Rachel the front runner? Well, if you remember, a couple of years ago, Rachel was in the running to replace Debbie Matenopolous... She was outed from The View after the other four ladies started to hate her, citing the airhead, offbeat comments she made on air as reason for the boot. Rachel was actually the front runner back then too. And it was wildly disputed that she was going to get the spot. However, sources say that she turned down the spot because she was pregnant with her first child, Evita.

So, this time around... It's much of the same story. The women of The View love Rachel. Barbara Walters was on Bill O'Reilly's radio show talking about how Rachel rounds out the panel... She also made a comment about how Erin Presely was a little unpredictable (in a Kelly Ripa sort of way...) And well, they really didn't talk about Elizabeth... The winner will be announced in two weeks.

Until then, visit The View's website, email the ladies and tell them how much you love Rachel!

Jacinda (London) is well on her way to becoming a huge movie star. She recently starred in The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman. Next, she will appear in Ladder 49, playing the wife of Joaquin Pheonix's character. John Travolta also stars. Ladder 49 is scheduled to premiere in early 2004. She is also starring in the independent film White on White with stars like William Dafoe and Claire Forlani. And she recently gained a role in the upcoming sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary, where she will play Renee Zewellger's co-worker.

And that's it for now!l

The Blog is back; Rachel is one of three finalists for co-host spot on ABC's the View

Are we back? Yes. Due to unforeseen circumstances entailing a lot of different things... (How convoluted is that?) We are back. After a few months on hiatus... We're back with news. There are a few things going on and we just like to update you on some of them. Here are a few:

San Diego house is revealed; Kit appears on ABCs the View trying out for a co-host spot

Some news on the Real World House... First and foremost, Real World Houses has added new shots of the San Diego house. Including shots of the house at night... Check out the light setup for this year's season. And some news on the history of the house.

Obviously, the house is located in the Point Loma area of San Diego. Although it is a waterfront property, many native to the San Diego area believed that the house would be located in other sections of San Diego. La Jolla, an affluent town, home to UC San Diego, was thought to be a front-runner to the San Diego home. Also, Mission Beach, site of MTVs Beachhouse, was also thought to be a great choice for the setting to the Real World. Also considered was Downtown San Diego. However, Point Loma became the evident choice, surprising many San Diego natives. Point Loma is known for fishing... and isn't a trendy spot in San Diego. Probably chosen for a greater sense of privacy, the waterfront home was once home to a seafood restaurant. Shortly before the roomies moved in, the house was known as the Blue Crab Restaurant. Once the restaurant went out of business, a company set up their offices in the building. And now it's known as the Real World house.

And tomorrow, Kit (USA Tour 1) will be vying for the fifth co-host spot on ABCs The View. If you remember, Rachel (San Francisco) tried out for the spot this past month, sitting in with the ladies for two days. So far, no other MTV alumns have been interested in the spot... But the last time when The View was looking for a co-host, both Rachel (San Francisco) and Lindsay (Seattle) tried out. We will also tell you how you can help Kit tomorrow. The final decision will be made live November 26. Before then, most likely, finalists will be invited to sit in with the ladies one more time.

Ruthie drives cross country, Lori will start singing, Rachel is a finalist and frontrunner on the View

A few new updates on castmembers... Ruthie (Hawaii) who has been living out of Los Angeles for the past few years, recently upped and took a trip. She actually drove cross country and is temporarily in New York. She plans to work out of New York within the next few weeks.

Another update on Lori (Back to New York)... Recently, she was seen to be singing at one of her appearances. After a long absence from singing, Lori is said to have something special in the works... But more information on that will be available later.

And this morning, Rachel (San Francisco) appeared on ABCs daytime talk show, The View. She is the first of many hopefuls to try and attempt to fill the chair left vacant by the twentysomething Lisa Ling. Rachel tried out for the spot back in 1999, and she is the frontrunner in this second search. If you missed today, her MTV past wasn't really discussed, but she showed a picture of her husband Sean (Boston), and two children, Xavier and Evita.

Meredith Viera emphazised that this year will be the Year of the Viewer, telling the audience that their opinion of the hopefuls will be a major determinant of who gets picked. So, we are going to lobby for Rachel. You might be curious as to why... But here at the Blog we are supportive of all former and current castmembers and their endeavors. We are asking YOU to write into the four current co-hosts of the View. We will also ask you to do this when Kit (Season 1) tries out for the spot later this month. However, we should mention a few things you should say to the co-hosts:

Don't say that you want Rachel to be on the View, just because she was on The Real World.

Talk about how Rachel's conservative, Republican views were a positive, refreshing change to the panel already existing on the show.

Mention how impressed you were with Rachel's involvement in politics. Today, she spoke about Arnold's bid for California Governor.

Mention how Rachel's lifestyle of being young, married, and a parent of two children brings a different light to the fifth chair.

Rachel's status as a C-list celebrity (as Kathy Griffin was explaning to Rachel this morning) lets her easily relate to guests on the show.

Just be supportive of Rachel and if you have something nice to say, say it!

With that said... Here is where you go to email the ladies of The View: These lead to webpages... You don't need to send them mail from your own personal mailbox. (Note: Star Jones is known to check her email diligently.)

We'd like to say good luck to Rachel! Tomorrow is her final day on the View... Be sure to catch her final day and we'll remind you to write in tomorrow as well! Tomorrow's guests are Craig Kilborn and Jessica Simpson. Most likely she will be brought back for additional appearances on the show!

Rachel and Kit tries out for a spot on ABC's The View; Mallory and Ace are dating; San Diego is filming

I apologize for the sporatic updates... New news... In addition to Rachel (San Francisco) trying out for the fifth chair on ABCs hormonal chatfest, The View... Kit (USA - Tour 1) will also be taking a stab at it. Yes, other Real World/Road Rules alumni are taking a stab at the chair, just like last time around (Lindsay (Seattle)). While Rachel will be on the show next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, Kit will be on September 10th and 11th. Also of MTV fame, Kennedy, a former VJ, will be trying out on September 17th and 18th. Good luck to them! We'll notify you of their appearances and any way that you can turn out and support them!

Also, Kristin on E-Online posts some interesting news... First, Mallory and Ace (Paris) are now an item. Mallory has been spotted for weeks in Statesboro hanging out with Ace... And just like Kate, Ace's girlfriend on the show, Ace has been heard spouting out that our pal Mal seems to be "the one". And we're not talking about the Matrix. She also reports that San Diego has begun filming... But some interesting information... Apparently, South Pacific is doing amazingly well in the ratings department... Even better than the Paris season... (No surprise, as the Real World fell out of the Top 10 this year with decline in the ratings of the Osbournes.) So the casting people who did South Pacific will be doing San Diego... And that a new guy will be taking America by storm on San Diego this season... Word is that his name is Billy... We can't confirm this yet, but we'll see once the season premieres.

Matt posts on his website that he's been sent home; San Diego moves in today; Rachel is on the View

Matt recently posted on his website that he was sent home from the Challenge in Telluride on the 28th of July. It may be indication that The Real World is losing the Battle for the Gauntlet. It also may be indication that they just didn't like Matt.

And TODAY is the day that The Real World: San Diego is said to be moving into their spacious digs in San Diego. Not much word on the house or who the cast is to be comprised of as of yet.... But there should be a surfer boy and a gay male this time around. We'll see very soon.

And still support Rachel (San Francisco) who is trying out for a position on the View. Her stint as a guest co-host begins on September 2nd. She actually turned down the last position which was recently vacated by Lisa Ling, because of her pregnancy.

And as for the lack of updates, we know... Relax... Hopefully, updates will continue to become more consistent! Thanks for waiting!

Rachel is set to be a finalist for the co-host position on ABCs The View

Thanks to all the people who emailed in about this. On Thursday's episode of ABCs The View, Barbara Walters announced that the search for the fifth co-host is set to begin. And none other than The Real World San Francisco's Rachel Campos-Duffy is set to be one of the contendors of the position. If you remember, when the spot was vacated by ditzy, now TVGuide correspondent Debbie Matenopoulos, Rachel was competing for the spot against Lisa Ling, who eventually won the spot. FOXsports Lauren Sanchez was also in the running for the position. Rachel was highly rumored to be the one taking the spot, but eventually lost it to Ling. Now, she is favored in the race, and will be the first co-host to audition. She will be on the view starting September 2. She'll be on the View for several days and there are 10 to 20 other people vying for the spot. They will choose the winner on November 26.

Now, last time, the final eight candidates consisted of these three ladies, plus Seattle's Lindsay Brien. Lindsay recently moved to Tampa to jump at a chance of hosting a television show there. But it is unclear if she will return to co-host The View again. Brien wasn't selected into the final three because the co-host's thought she was too young. Now four years later, Brien may be able to join the pack as a more mature woman.

Last time around, the ladies heavily relied on viewer opinion to select their co-host. When the time comes, we'll give you all the information in order to cast your positive vote for Rachel.

But for NOW:
You can e-mail the co-hosts of the View and tell them how ecstatic you are that Rachel is coming back to co-host. A few words of wisdom here: Try not to mention the Real World/Challenges too much... Try saying a few words about her personality, her warmth, her likability... You can even say something about her relationship with Sean and their two children, Xavier and Evita. Or you can talk about her experience on TV, like her co-hosting a talk show in Wisconsin. Don't make too long or exaggerated. With that said...
