Trishagate: The update

Last night's episode saw Trisha (Sydney) go home at the hands of Parisa (Sydney) much to the the dismay of Kelly Anne (Sydney) and Ashli (Sydney). The girls have been the center of drama in the Sydney house since Day 1. With the exit of Shauvon (Sydney) and Trisha, does it get any better?

Last night's episode hinted that Kelly Anne and Ashli would be turning against Parisa after they were unhappy with Parisa's decision to send Trisha home. With Ashli joining Parisa's Contiki team, the tension is palpable.

Here's a small update:

If you look at Parisa's MySpace, Ashli's MySpace, and Kelly Anne's MySpace, you can see the three are on each other's Top Friends.

If you've been keeping a close eye, they'll post messages on each other's page insinuating that they get over the drama and make up. Kelly Anne also posted a message not too long ago about spitting on the window in the phone room yesterday. She claimed that she was drunk and that there was a lot of fights between her and Parisa before that, but she did call both Parisa and Trisha her friends.

Keep watching to see how this plays out, especially with the return of Isaac (Sydney), who apparently didn't like Trisha either.

Parisa and Trisha will get into a fight; Trisha leaves; Ashli replaces her

It's been quite a few seasons since a castmember on the Real World was replaced. If you think about it, it's only happened a handful of times: Beth A. replaced Irene and Glen replaced David in Los Angeles; Jo replaced Puck in San Francisco; Charlie replaced Frankie in San Diego. That's right, it's only happened four times. If you think about the actual number of people who left the show early or momentarily and were never replaced, there's Melissa (Miami), Irene (Seattle), Justin (Hawaii) and Ruthie (Hawaii) whom all left the show earlier than scheduled or in Ruthie's case, went to a treatment program for alcohol mid-season.

It's happening once again: Trisha (Sydney) either decides to leave or hits Parisa (Sydney). It's not clear at this point what exactly happens, but tensions between the two are heating up, as you see for previews for tomorrow night's episode. The trailer makes it seems as if Trisha runs up to push Parisa.

In the past, whether it be on Challenges, Road Rules, or the actual show, the policy on hitting or physical contact has been varied. Stephen (Seattle) actually slapped Irene (Seattle) while she was leaving the house and the rest of the cast was able to vote to keep her in. Brynn (Las Vegas) threw a fork at Steven (Las Vegas) and while he demanded at first that she leave, he rescinded and decided to let her stay. Gladys (Latin America) was immediately sent home after attacking Abe (Latin America), with no intervention from the cast, who later asked if she could back to the show. Steven (Las Vegas) was immediately sent home for slapping Shane (Campus Crawl) during the Battle of the Sexes 2. So, the policy has varied.

The incident which instituted a "no hitting" policy was Steven and Shane. So, by virtue of the fact that Trisha pushes Parisa (as we see in the trailer) she could be immediately sent home. Nevertheless, Trisha does go home midseason.

Who is her replacement?

Trisha may have been spotted outside Les Deux Saturday night with MTV vet Andy Milonakis

In one of the strangest news stories yet, Trisha (Sydney) could have potentially been spotted by TMZ cameramen on Saturday night, walking out of famed nightclub Les Deux, with none other than Andy Milonakis.

While TMZ stopped short of claiming that the girl with Milonakis was actually Trisha, the similarity is striking. We also know that Trisha recently moved to Los Angeles, so it is likely it is her. However, we should mention that Trisha was not the center of the post, more of what Milonakis had to say to the TMZ cameramen.

Finally, Les Deux is famous for a couple of reasons, it was opened by a couple of Big Brother alumni, it also is the spot to hangout for the girls of The Hills, and it is also a couple of blocks away from where the next Real World house is rumored to be located.

Trisha's trip to McDonalds stirs a bit of a controversy Down Under

In a now infamous remark that she surely regrets, Trisha (Sydney) is apparently the center of controversy in the Asian-Australian community over her impatience with a McDonald's employee in Sydney.

If you remember, this is the impetus behind Trisha and Parisa's (Sydney) falling out, after Parisa becomes disgusted after hearing Trisha's comment.

While the article doesn't post any information about the scandal, it links you to a clip of the comment. If you want to know what a Crunchie McFlurry is, consult this Wikipedia entry.

Trisha has no regrets, has moved to Los Angeles, and is still friends with Shavoun

Trisha (Sydney), who has been the center of some controversy early in the season, sat down with the Fresno Bee to talk about her experience in Sydney.

While she admits that she did things that don't match with her conservative upbringing, she has no regrets about her time in Sydney. If you remember, Trisha is seen almost hitting or hitting Parisa (Sydney) in the preview, and it's rumored that Trisha will be sent home and an eighth roommate will be sent in her place.

Trisha also says that she has moved to Thousand Oaks, a suburb of Los Angeles, to capitalize on the attention that the show is bringing her. She also mentions that she is still friends with her fellow castmember Shavoun (Sydney).

Sydney Casting Special: The alumni discuss the new seven strangers

Blair (The Quest), Randy (San Diego), Colie (Denver), Wes (Austin), Paula (Key West) and Svetlana (Key West) start by sitting around the couch, discussing the season.

Issac (Sydney) is first and he talks about the calamity that is his life. He talks about the stuff that he pulls, how he gets high, how he gets drunk. He’s a “boob guy”. He says that he can always find good things about everyone.

Shavoun (Sydney) has her own column called “Sexcapades”. She wants to be an entertainment reporter. She’s single and she got out of a long-term relationship where her boyfriend made her pick between her career and him.

The alumni talk about how Issac and Shavoun might hook up. Blair shows a sneak peak, where the two of them are flirting heavily throughout their season. The two are making out in the confessional and are caught by roommates. The two end up fighting later in the season.

The alumni discuss the two. They’re excited about the impending fights. Randy thinks she’s pretty, but she’s not his type. Wes thinks that he could be friends with her and she looks intimidating.

Dunbar (Sydney) is next. He’s more proud to be Southern than he is to be American. His girlfriend Julie is something accidental, but he acknowledges it to be special because she is willing to do anything to make him happy.

Parisa (Sydney) is from New York City. She knew since she was little that she was different. Her friends think that nothing fazes her, that she’s the “tin man”. Parisa used to have trouble rejecting guys. She used to put a lot of self-worth in her relationships.

The alumni girls seem to love Dunbar. Parisa takes herself too seriously, according to Colie.

Dunbar and Parisa meet each other. Parisa said that if Dunbar is single, it would be a fairytale. Parisa flirts heavily with Dunbar and he responds by treating her differently than the rest of the cast. The two end up fighting because he seems to be disrespectful toward her.

The alumni feel like the relationship between the two is unrequited. They think that Parisa is finally learning what it is like to be rejected. Paula calls him a beefcake.

Cohutta (Sydney) is up. He’s from a “different country” where everyone knows everybody. He introduces us to his family. He’s looking for a “good mama” that he can “take back to the mountains” and raise some children with.

KellyAnne (Sydney) doesn’t like guys who talk about their families, bad kissers, bad teeth, people who have different opinions of her. She wrote “Pick Me” on her underwear in her casting video.

Paula says that Cohutta seems genuine and he’s going to get rocked the most. Colie says it’s weird that he’s living in 1976. Paula says he won’t be used to these kind of girls that show up on the show. Colie says that this Real World harkens back to the “social experiment” because there are different people reacting to each other.

KellyAnne hears Shavoun and Parisa talking about her in the bathroom. Parisa doesn’t want to babysit and KellyAnne flirts heavily with Dunbar, which irritates Parisa. KellyAnne calls herself a “co$%tease”. KellyAnne and Cohutta seem to be crushing on each other later in the season.

Wes says that he hates girls that are teases. Colie says that she’s gonna get picked on by the other girls, but the other girls says that she may want to get picked on.

Trisha (Sydney) comes to the house with a boyfriend and a chastity ring, kind of. She got the ring when she was 12 years old, but she lost her virginity. Trisha is trying to “get it all out right now”.

Wes likes Trisha more than he likes KellyAnne. He thinks that he’s trying to figure out what she’s about.

Trisha and Parisa start a fight. The tension seems to mount. Trisha starts to flirt with Cohutta, which irritates KellyAnne. Trisha seems to try and hit Parisa.

The alumni think that this season will be good. Blair can’t wait for the Sydney cast to see the casting special and talk about the alumni.

The Seven Strangers are finally profiled by MTV's new website

Cohutta, 23 - Blue Ridge, GA

Born and raised in small-town Georgia, Cohutta is a southern gentleman who's quick to impress the ladies with his chivalry, his wit, and his country wisdom. When he's not building houses (he's a self-employed contractor), this 23-year-old cowboy spends his time wandering the mountain ranges, riding horses, and playing the banjo. Ultimately, Cohutta wants to settle down and raise a family in Georgia. In fact, he'll be the first to tell you he's looking for a wife. But in the meantime, lookout Sydney.

Dunbar, 22 - Natchez, MI

At first glance, Dunbar appears to be the stereotypical southern fraternity boy, but a series of life-changing obstacles has forced him to learn responsibility. When his family lost everything after a money-laundering scandal, Dunbar was forced to negotiate his own financial situation, and since then has taken full responsibility for his livelihood. He enrolled in the military to help build his college fund, and now he attends Ole Miss. Dunbar is well-spoken and opinionated on political issues, literature and poetry. He's also arrogant and hot-headed. Though he doesn't seem the "relationship" type, he's very committed to his girlfriend back home.

Issac, 21 - Cleveland, OH

His rugged, "bad-boy" look makes this 21-year-old seem intimidating initially, but deep down Isaac is just a handsome, lovable party boy. He grew up in an unstable household surrounded by drugs and crime, but he's worked hard toward achieving a better future for himself. A student at the University of Arizona, he strives hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA. With his comedic personality, he bonds with the guys and charms the ladies.

KellyAnne, 20 - Austin, TX

Twenty-year-old Texan KellyAnne doesn't just show up to the party; she has to be the center of attention at it, too. She's a self-described tease who craves the attention of men. She's hot and she knows it... and she'll use it to get what she wants. At a young age, KellyAnne had to deal with her parents' divorce. As a result of that difficult split, she has trouble trusting men. Despite all of the drama that might have come her way, KellyAnne just wants to have fun.

Parisa, 21 - New York, NY

Parisa is a thoughtful and smart New Yorker, who at first might seem out of place among The Real World party girls. She was raised by loving but hypercritical Muslim parents who don't support Parisa's dream of being a singer/songwriter. So, Parisa maintained a perfect GPA in school and jumped straight into a business career to please her parents. It wasn't until recently that she put aside their expectations to make room for her own dream of stardom.

Shavoun, 24 - Sacramento, CA

Shauvon is more than just a buxom blonde bombshell; she is also an intellectual sex columnist for Sacramento State University's newspaper. Raised primarily by her controlling mother, Shauvon was pressured to have her ambitions and goals intricately planned out. This often resulted in Shauvon putting her mother's happiness before her own. Tired of being told what to do, she recently broke off her engagement to a man who forced her to choose between a career and him. Although she knows she made the right decision, the wound is still raw.

Trisha, 19 - Fresno, CA

Trisha is a sharp-tongued party girl from California who enjoys flaunting herself with the popular crowd. Raised as a devout Christian by her adoptive parents, 19 year-old Trisha lives a life of rebellion, spending most nights drinking and hooking up. She recently committed to a serious relationship with her boyfriend, shedding her self-proclaimed "virgin party girl" image. Trisha is talkative and opinionated and will do whatever it takes to make her voice heard.
