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.

If you're missing it, Ev and Tonya are offering commentary on the Inferno

Both Ev (Fresh Meat) and Tonya (Chicago) are both offering commentary up on their respective MySpace pages. Several people have emailed me and asked me to re-post the links, as both offer pretty candid commentaries on the show and their castmates.

Evelyn pretty much explains her dissonance with her own team, and having to prove herself to the veterans who believe she's undeserving of being on the Challenge.

Tonya just gives a play-by-play commentary and doesn't really hold back on what she thinks of what's going on.

Tonya posts her thoughts on the Inferno 3 and her first impressions of the cast

Tonya (Chicago) posts her first impressions of the cast (which aren't really first impressions) on her new blog at MySpace.

Tonya, who hasn't blogged on the Challenges before, lets her opinion be known about her fellow castmembers and she doesn't hold back in this blog. Right away, she almost seems at odds with most of the girls. She especially seems to be at odds with Cara (South Pacific), who she can't really stand, especially after her Playboy shoot. Although, Tonya does say that she could relate to Paula (Key West), but Tonya isn't at the Challenge to make friends. She also mentions that Rachel (Austin) got a boob job before coming onto this Challenge.

She closes out the blog with a comment about the violence on the shows, especially since it seems to happen every season. It's a good read. She even mentions the Mean Girls, who thought were to be a part of this Challenge before filming began.

Tonya, Syrus, Ace, and Cameran have all gone wild

Former alumni Tonya (Chicago), Syrus (Boston), Ace (Paris) and Cameran (San Diego) have all taken the plunge and have Gone Wild. The foursome are a part of a series of DVDs from the creators of Girls Gone Wild called "Wild World".

In fact, if you go to the Girls Gone Wild website, the four are on the front page with Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis promoting the latest DVDs to hit stores.

THe link is obviously NSFW, but there's no word to if any of the alumni actually participate in any craziness that these videos are famous for. Cameran is on the front page of the website, however, holding an energy drink, but she is fully clothed.

Tonya will be appearing on VH1 Celebreality: The Celebrity Paranormal Project

After she was on MTV's True Life: I'm a Reality Star where she was suggesting that VH1 was contacting her for an appearance on the Surreal Life, Tonya (Chicago) has actually ended up on the channel.

Tonya (Chicago) will be on this upcoming episode of the Celebrity Paranormal Project. This show combines several celebrities to do a Fear-like show where celebrities investigate paranormal activities in a known haunted location.

The preview prominently featured Tonya, so be sure to catch it next Sunday. Celebreality begins airing at 9PM EST/PST, but check your local schedules.

Kill Reality has Trishelle, Steven, Tonya; Movie is now available and isn't all that bad

We here at the Blog had the pleasure of reviewing Kill Reality's end product, "The Scorned". Many of you had the opportunity to catch the edited version on E! which aired Halloween night. Fishbowl Films releases its uncensored, unedited 2-disc DVD version of the Scorned romorrow exclusively on The Fishbowl and E!. We got our hands on an advanced copy and give the lowdown here.

Well, first of all which Real World stars appear in the film? Steven (Las Vegas), Trishelle (Las Vegas) and Tonya (Chicago) all have major roles, while Irulan (Las Vegas) has a cameo appearance. They all join a gaggle of other reality television stars from other television shows such as Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, Big Brother, etc., And if you're familiar with the cast of Kill Reality, you're familiar with those other reality television stars who scored major roles in the film.

As for the story itself, you can't really call the Scorned much of a horror movie. It's much more a parody of the stars itself. Most everyone plays gross exaggerations of their alter-egos that once appeared on television. Every joke in the movie is pretty much geared toward reality television. If the story can't keep you reeled in, the movie poking fun of itself will.

The DVD also comes with an extra disc of extras, including director's commentary, Rob C.'s history of reality television, a bloopers/gag reel, the auditions of the stars of the movie (oddly featuring Jonathan of the Amazing Race), and a passcode for other features only included on the web. And again, this is the uncensored version of the movie, so yes, there is tons of nudity in the film. The DVD will become available tomorrow exclusively on The Fishbowl and E!. It will become available via major retailers early next year.

Trishelle and Tonya are on tonight's episode of Kill Reality; Palms suite is on the Surreal Life; Eric is on the Guiding Light

On tonight's episode of Kill Reality both Trishelle (Las Vegas) and Tonya (Chicago) will be featured heavily. The episode has to do with Trishelle's death scene in the movie and both of their relationships with Survivor Pearl Islands' Johnny Fairplay.

If you watch The Surreal Life over on VH1, the seven psuedo-celebrities are being shacked up in The Real World digs in Las Vegas. The pad, which is the infamous site where Britney Spears spent her honeymoon in her first annulled marriage, still remains exactly the same way the seven roomies left it. What's interesting though, is for those of you that didn't know, The Surreal Life owes itself to The Real World. The original title of the Surreal Life was the Surreal World, until BMP sued to have it changed. Surreal Life airs every Sunday night.

Also, Eric (Campus Crawl) recently filmed a guest spot on the Guiding Light which aired last Monday.

Inferno 2 rules are up online; Tonya will fight with Beth on this Challenge

We posted that the rules of the Inferno II would be the same, but there is actually one change. Instead of nominating two players to go up from the opposite team, there is only one person who is nominated and the only way they can get out of it is by using the Lifesaver.

Also, here's some inside info on the Challenge: (Highlight to read as these are major spoilers) It seems that this Challenge will also feature someone who actually walks off the show. As you know, Beth S. (Los Angeles) went on both Battle of the Seasons and Battle of the Sexes I and had trouble getting along with her teammates. Well, this time around, she gets into a fight with Tonya (Chicago), who is on her team, and Beth walks off. We can also confirm that Brad (San Diego) and Robin (San Diego) have both been sent home.

Tonya, Derrick, Veronica, Mark, Coral will be on this new Challenge

On today's Fishbowl chat, Tonya (Chicago) revealed who would be appearing on the new Challenge. She, Derrick (Xtreme), Veronica (Semester at Sea), Mark (USA Your 1) and Coral (Back to New York) are confirmed. But she also said Melissa would be participating. Unclear whether it is Miami or New Orleans Melissa.

Tonya leaves this Sunday, the 9th and there is no clue (as usual) as to where the Challenge will be filmed. Production will be taking away their watches and sunglasses. Possibly so they are up longer and can catch them crying.

The Challenge premieres in June.

Mike is close to a WWE contract; Tonya is Playboy's Cyber Girl of the Week

For those of you who are big Miz (Back to New York) fans, Mike has now made it to the final two against his biggest competitor Daniel Puder. I'm hearing rumors abound that a big part of the final decision as to who gets the million dollar contract is going to be the final vote. However, the judges will also factor the winner of a match between Puder and Mike in the final decision. Most give the advantage to Puder, who is a fighting expert as he has several belts for something (or so I'm told). So us Real World fans need to support Mike and push him through to the final contract. Although we've been criticized a bit for our undying support for Mike, here at the Blog, we love to help out any alumni any way we can. If you remember, a huge part of Rachel (San Francisco) being chosen as the final three on The View was huge fan support. So really come out and vote for Mike when voting starts tomorrow. This is where you vote!

Tonya (Chicago) has now joined the growing ranks of alumni who have posed for Playboy. Beth (Los Angeles), Jisela (The Quest), Veronica (Semester at Sea), Flora (Miami), Trishelle (Las Vegas), Katie (The Quest), Arissa (Las Vegas) and Marybeth (South Pacific) have all posed for Playboy in one form or another. Cara (South Pacific) was actually Miss November 2004 and will be up for Playmate of the Year 2004. But Tonya (Chicago) is now a Playboy Cyber Girl of the Week, following Marybeth (South Pacific) who appeared on the site shortly beforing appearing on Road Rules. Check out the Playboy pictures of Tonya, here. Also, if you want to check out the Playboy DVD that some alumni did, go to our store, which is accessible from the menu on the left.

Cast profiles for Chicago released; 9/11 may be profiled on the show

Hey! Told you we'd be back! Here's the news on the Real World Chicago! Trust me, it'll be a wild ride unlike the Real World has ever seen.

The cast:

Aneesa: A 19-year-old from Philadelphia. Her father is black and her mother is Jewish. She's described as a lesbian trying to find her place in the world.

Cara: A 22-year-old from Boston. A middle child of upper-middle-class Jewish parents, she's a student from Washington University in St. Louis.

Chris: A 23-year-old from Brockton, Mass. He's a gay recovering alcoholic who's been sober for eight months and regularly attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Kyle: A 22-year-old from Lake Bluff, Ill. An all-American golden boy with good looks and athletic ability. Princeton University student.

Keri: A 21-year-old from New Orleans. A southern blonde with a seemingly limitless circle of friends and acquaintances. She grew up on a farm in the Louisiana and her family is deeply rooted in Louisiana culture and politics.

Theo: A 19-year-old from Riverside, Calif. An African-America son of a pastor who is a ladies man. His move to Chicago is the first time he's lived in a diverse environment.

Tonya: A 21-year-old from Walla Walla, Wash. A blond-haired, blue-eyed woman with a "Baywatch body." Neglected by her mother, she grew up in the foster care system.

While in Chicago, the cast worked at Piece (a restaurant), a beach, and a newspaper. It is unclear why they worked at different places, whether they were given jobs this year or whatnot, so we'll see what BMP will show. Also, the cast was filming during 9/11, so I'm sure you'll see something about that, because the Sears Tower in Chicago was evacuated that day, and there was widespread panic in the city. Also, if you haven't heard... filming began with trouble.

Supposedly, the day the Real Worlders moved in, a shooting occured in front of the loft. Attention was brought to the Real World house because of the Chicago Sun-Times reporting the address of the loft in the newspaper. Protests begun to kick the Real Worlders out. Things happened from there, cast members were offered the chance to leave the show for next season. We'll see what happens, but I'm sure it'll be a great season. More later. Stay tuned.
