A brief clip of Beth S. (Los Angeles) and the drama that she's caused makes it onto Overdrive. Hosted by fellow Duelers, John (Key West) and Svetlana (Key West) count down Beth's five most "troublemakery moments". For those of you who don't get Overdrive, the top five moments are:

Denver to end filming in next two weeks; Mark appears on Rockstar: Supernova

I am being told that the Denver season of The Real World will wrap up filming in the next two weeks. The eighteenth season of the series will air on MTV this fall. As of yet, there is no word on where the next two seasons will be held, but they are both currently in production.

Mark (USA Tour I), fresh off his reporting gig on Hell's Kitchen 2, appeared on Rockstar: Supernova, apparently doing the reporting gig for FOX's Reality Channel. He was interviewing finalists during a media blitz.

Puck and Betty give birth to Rocco Kokopelli Rainey; Mark appears on Hell's Kitchen 2

People was the first to report that Puck (San Francisco) just had another baby with his wife Betty. If you remember, the two got hitched, with baby Bogart in tow, on the Battle of the Sexes. Then, wanting to leave the show, Puck went on a mysterious rampage with a machete and left. Puck's new son Rocco Kokopelli Rainey was born on August 6. Puck now runs the SPAK motorcycle shop in downtown Los Angeles, while living in Mission Hills, CA. Congratulations to Puck.

Mark (USA Tour I), acting as a reporter for Fox Reality Network, was on the season finale of Hell's Kitchen last night, where he asked the finalists questions before it was revealed who won the series. Mark, who is retired from Challenges, is now working as a reporter for the network.

Beth is posting recaps; Robin, Mark, Jodi are in a love triangle next week

In of the most dramatic Challenge seasons ever, Beth (Los Angeles) has also been providing recaps of the episodes. You can check them out here at Reality TV Stuff.

In an already dramatic season that saw the hasty departure of Jo (San Francisco), the rise of Derrick (Extreme) as a leader of the Veterans and the fight between Danny (Extreme) and Jodi (Extreme)... Comes yet another piece of drama. Next week's episode is being hyped up as there is tension between Jodi (Extreme), Mark (USA Tour 1) and Robin (San Diego)...

If you are fresh on your gossip, Mark and Robin both met on the Battle of the Sexes 2 and dated pretty seriously for a short time. Then, on the Inferno II, drama erupted between Robin and Beth (Los Angeles) because Beth revealed that Tonya (Chicago) had slept with Mark. Now, although this is still unclear, it looks like that Beth reveals to Robin that Jodi and Mark were pretty hot and heavy. (Got all that?) MTV is hyping up this episode... but in recent memory, the last time MTV hyped up an episode was when CT (Paris) pulled off "The Biggest Lie in Real World history", when he claimed responsibility for Leah's (Paris) flowers. Don't forget to catch the episode next Monday.

Happy New Years!

Alton and Irulan may have broken up; Cara and Dave may have broken up due to David or Mark; Ellen is pregnant

There are all sorts of rumors floating around about the relationships of former cast members. Here's the scoop from yesterday's chat over at the Fishbowl:

Alton and Irulan may no longer be a couple.
Cara and Dave broke up.
Cara hooked up with David (Seattle) and Mark (RR1) while Mark was dating Robin.
Ellen (Quest) is pregnant.

Veronica and Rachel start their own company, College Dropout; Kit dropped as host of Cold Pizza

Veronica (Semester at Sea) and Rachel (Campus Crawl) have started a company together... You can check out their shirts, which are all over the Inferno II at www.collegedropout.com.

Also, Kit (USA Tour 1) has been dropped as a host for ESPN's Cold Pizza. While Kit came aboard with the show when it premiered a couple of years ago, no word has been left on the show's website about Kit's departure. Since its premiere, Cold Pizza has been subject to tough reviews and low ratings (averaging a .01% of the share of household cable ratings). According to this USA Today article, the show underwent heavy retooling. The article mentions that Kit will continue on in ESPN, working on other projects like the sports fusion of Apprentice/American Idol, Dream Job.

And on a final note, the Blog hit 6 million visitors recently! Thank you for continuing to visit the best source of Real World and Road Rules information on the net today. (Or at least we think so!)

Coral and Mark push Old School versus New School for the next version of the Challenge

If you had a chance to check out Blair's show over at MTV, then you already know that Coral and Mark will be on the next challenge titled Old School vs. New School.

Coral and Mark will be Blair's first guests on his talk show on MTV.com

Also, on the same note with Blair (The Quest) having his own talk show. (His first guests are Coral (Back to New York) and Mark (USA Tour 1).) New pictures have been posted at MTV.com. It looks like there are actually televisions in the lounge, the villas are incredibly beautiful and the Inferno set is looking better than ever.

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.

Timmy, Steven, Coral will be on the Fishbowl today

If you are itching to hear from Timmy (USA Tour 1), Steven (Las Vegas), or Coral (Back to New York), check out the Fishbowl today. Timmy and Steven will be on Trishelle's show at 12:00 p.m.(pt). Coral will be on for a live chat at 7:00 p.m.(pt).

Mohammed is now giving speaking engagements; Trishelle has Katie and Steven on her show; Mark is on Extreme Dodgeball

Here's a much needed update from a not-so-heard from castmember. Mohammed (San Francisco) is now living in Los Angeles doing diversity training and speaking engagements. He also has a website called Mo Speaks where he has a book about the Real World that MTV tried to block the release of. You can check that out along with some of Mohammed's music.

Trishelle (Las Vegas) will have Katie (The Quest) and Steven (Las Vegas) from Battle of the Sexes 2 on her radioshow at the The Fishbowl next Wednesday.

And if you have the Game Show Network, you can catch Mark (USA Tour 1) on Extreme Dodgeball! He's one of the players on one of the teams! Good luck to Mark!

Mark is now divorced; Eric has a wedding ring; Shawn, Tina, Chris are engaged

Just a tiny clarification on our last post: Mark (USA Tour 1) has been divorced since the last Battle of the Sexes aired, so he did not cheat on his wife with Robin (San Diego). We also reported when Battle 2 was filming in New Mexico, that Eric (New York) was seen with a wedding ring. Eric is wearing the ring as a "promise ring" between him and his on-again, off-again girlfriend of two years. The ring puts any flirtation between Eric and Veronica (Semester at Sea) to rest that happened when they were on the first Battle of the Sexes. Also married on this Battle of the Sexes is Arissa (Las Vegas). Shawn (Semester At Sea), Tina (South Pacific) and Chris (South Pacific) are all engaged as of the airing of this show.

Tonya hooks up with Mark; Mark hooks up with Robin; Angela is on everyone's bad side

With Battle of the Sexes gearing up soon, we have been hering gossip flying left and right about who hooks up with whom, who hates whom, and everything in between... We can confirm some speculation with some spoiler-ish information right here:

Talking about love triangles: Tonya (Chicago) will get action this season as she hooks up with Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) and then breaks it off with him, only to go over to Mark (USA Tour 1). However, that doesn't even last long, as Mark (USA Tour 1) steams it up with Robin (San Diego) who I hear are still a couple today and are officially dating.

As for the hating game, Angela (Xtreme) will digress into the same role that she was placed on in Xtreme. She won't be getting along with her teammates and will cause a huge stir for one reason or another. We also hear that Cameran (San Diego) arrives late and is not well-liked by her teammates as well, which is supposed to explain her early departure. We'll see, Battle of the Sexes premieres next week on MTV.

Pictures of Abram, Dan, Mark, Eric, Randy, and Shane at the Challenge surface on the internet

For your viewing pleasure... These are the first pictures ANYWHERE on the internet from Battle of the Sexes 2. Here you have Abram (South Pacific), Dan (Northern Trail), Mark (USA Tour 1), Eric (New York), Randy (San Diego), and Shane (Campus Crawl). Lisa from NM submits these exculsive pictures. We want to send a big shot-out to her!





With Lisa's information at hand, the latest information for the participants on the Challenge are:

Girls Team: Cameran (San Diego) Robin (San Diego) Arissa (Las Vegas) Tonya (Chicago) Aneesa (Chicago) Coral (Back to New York) Ruthie (Hawaii) Genesis (Boston) Beth S. (Los Angeles) Rachel (Campus Crawl) Jisela (The Quest) Sophia (The Quest) Katie (The Quest) Tina (South Pacific) Ayanna (Semester At Sea) Veronica (Semester At Sea) Remaining Road Ruler Remaining Road Ruler

Boys Team: Brad (San Diego) Jacquese (San Diego) Randy (San Diego) Ace (Paris) Adam (Paris) Frank (Las Vegas) Steven (Las Vegas) Mike (Back to New York) Eric (New York) Derrick (Xtreme) Patrick (Xtreme) Abram (South Pacific) Chris (South Pacific) Shane (Campus Crawl) Darrell (Campus Crawl) Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) Dan (Northern Trail) Mark (USA Tour 1)

This obviously completes the boys' team and the remaining two Road Rules girls are most likely, definitely from Xtreme... Lisa from NM (much Blog love to ya!) also confirms that she saw Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour), Ruthie (Hawaii) and Derrick (Xtreme). There is also a mission with punching bags hanging over a river. Castmembers have to hold on the punching bags and the person who holds on to them the longest wins. Once again, thanks to Lisa and remember you heard it first on the Blog!

Some additional added info: The pictures were taken at a local rodeo on Sunday. Randy, Eric, and Shane were said to be the nicest of the group. And, if the picture is enlarged enough, it's noticable that Eric (New York) had a ring on his fourth finger on his left hand...

If you're in the New Mexico area and happen to snap pictures, send them over to us at newrwroad@hotmail.com.

Kit from the first season of Road Rules is the host of ESPN's Cold Pizza
