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

Castmember websites have now been updated

Brynn may have had her baby; Mike and Steven updating on the Gauntlet

Several people are reporting that Brynn (Las Vegas) recently had her baby. This is all word of mouth, but apparently, Brynn had a baby boy at the end of last month. This is her child with Austin, her boyfriend on the show.

Also, if you want to look for updates, you can also check out Mike (RW10) and Steve (RR10) and their reviews.

The Gauntlet airs its second episode; STA Travel having a Real World Tour

The Gauntlet airs its second episode tonight. Check your local listings for air times. Plus, you can find reviews of Gauntlet episodes at: Norman (RW1), Colin (RW8), Melissa (RW9), and Sarah (RR11)'s sites.

And just so you know, STA Travel, the agency that hooked up the Paris cast on their trek throughout Europe, is having a Real World tour across campuses in the United States. Several schools that have a STA Travel on campus have had Paris castmembers appear. Last year, the Vegas cast did the same. There should be announcements in your college newspaper.

Site experiencing problems; Norman opens a website

Blogger wasn't uploading correctly for the past few days. Anyway, for the time being we are able to update. Just a small note: Visit Norman (New York) on his website at http://www.normankorpi.com. He talks about the Gauntlet.

Lori confirms that engagement was a hoax; San Diego may have eighth roommate; Gauntlet premiered last night

Yes, it was yet another hoax... Lori (Back to New York) officially announced today that she was not engaged. This comes off our announcement on Friday, that our suspicion was most likely, this was a hoax. The announcement came off the registry on The Wedding Channel. However, it is very easy to falsify registries, and therefore the validity of their engagement was in question. Again, this isn't the first time for something like this nature to happen. Unfortunately, there are some people out there who have nothing better to do than to concut these elaborate stories. Anyway, good luck to Lori and Kyle (Chicago)!.

A great site to note: Real World San Diego is made by San Diego residents who have pictures, names, ages, and lots of information about the new cast in San Diego. So what's the latest word? There's an eighth roommate in the house.

And yes, the Gauntlet premiered last night to much anticipation. Both Sarah (Campus Crawl) and David (New Orleans) were sent to The Gauntlet last night. (I'll keep mum on who won for those of you who are waiting on reruns... If you don't want to know more, don't read.) Elka (Boston) took the $10,000 for the first mission. And now a word on strategy: Yes, it's different. For the past two seasons, there's been a point system that at least one team follows. But with the point system out the door, the question of who to send to the Gauntlet is a huge question. However, I see the game turning to alliances. The whole point of the game is to stay to the end. You can try to win missions, but as long your team is working hard, you really don't have to make a huge effort. The missions aren't really important to the game, unless people are judging you on performances. If you have an alliance of seven, there is no way that you can really be sent home. And the pressure to trust your fellow alliance members is easy, because ultimately in the end, not everyone is going home. (That simple fact may make this game boring.) Even smaller alliances are beneficial as well. I think Matt (New Orleans) put it well when he said that this game is extremely political. Because all you have to do is sway the group... So, count on loud, popular castmembers to make it to the end.

Lindsay denies boob job allegations and the Gauntlet Fantasy Game opens up

Well, here's the lowdown on Lindsay (Seattle). Apparently, Lindsay's extra size on her TV show was a big deal. Lindsay got a whole bunch of emails from Bert Show listeners about her supposed "boob job" on her Tampa TV show. Well, Lindsay herself decided to answer the allegations. Apparently, it wasn't nothing but our good friends at Victoria Secret. Her boob size didn't increase, it just looked that way to a pretty damn good bra.

Tonight! The Gauntlet will premiere. Join the Fantasy Challenge at MTV.com today. It looks like this first week will not count... But pick your team, just in case. If tonight doesn't count, use tonight's episode and the preview to pick your team! It looks like a great challenge this year. My only complaint is that this Challenge cast is too young. The oldest members of the Road Rules team are Roni (Northern Trail) and Veronica (Semester at Sea). While the oldest members on the Real World team are Norman (New York), Montana (Boston), and Elka (Boston)... Big gaps, anyone?
