The trailer shows serious drama as some castmembers are interested in hooking-up and others are interested in fighting. This cast also has a gay castmember (Samantha) and a bi-sexual castmember (Frank). Two seasons have previously had this combination with Philadelphia (Karamo and Willie) and Hawaii (Ruthie and Justin). This new season premieres September 28!

Jamie (San Diego) who we heard a lot about last week, with her being cast in a pilot for ABC Family and Days of Our Lives, apparently showed up on ER last night.

Jamie joined the cast in the emergency room for a brief guest spot. Congratulations to Jamie who seems to be in the news more and more lately.

We reported last Friday, that Jamie (San Diego) had been on Days of Our Lives as a recurring castmember. Last week seemed to be Jamie's week.

Jamie is actually working on a pilot that's in production for the 2008-2009 cable television season. She's been cast in the lead role of the series "Samurai Girl" which is the story of an adopted girl who's trying to merge her heritage of ancient Samurai traditions and her newly adopted lifestyle. The series is a pilot for ABC Family.

The series is based upon a book series of the same name. Congratulations to Jamie and we hope to see her on television quite soon.

Jamie (San Diego) has been keeping busy in her professional life as of late. She is officially the second alumni to join the cast of a major soap opera.

Jamie joined the cast of Days of Our Lives as sorority girl Cordy late last month. She is a recurring cast member on the show.

Jamie joins Kyle (Chicago) who once part of the main cast of Days as Philip Kirkias. Congratulations to Jamie!

MySpace has proven to be an invaluable resource for the upcoming seasons of the Challenge. The castmembers from each Challenge usually visit their MySpaces before and during filming, comment on each other's pages about the Challenges, and even post pictures on the Challenges. Yesterday, Brooke (Denver) and Evelyn (Fresh Meat) revealed that they were dating.

Today, Tori's (Viewers' Revenge) MySpace reveals that she dated Brad (San Diego) dated during the Challenge, but also she has pictures from the Challenge.

Moreover, Ryan's (Fresh Meat) MySpace has tons of pictures from the Challenge with several different castmembers.

Check 'em out.

News that has hit fans hard this past week, The Real World: San Diego's Frankie Abernathy died Saturday, June 9. She was only 25.

Frankie had moved to Shorewood, Wisconsin to be with her mother, when the disease she was living with, cystic fibrosis, had gotten progressively worse. Frankie passed away Saturday night in her mother's home after a rough patch with the disease.

Since last Saturday, internet communities and Real World fans have been taken aback by the news. Frankie, who left the show early because she reportedly said that it wasn't for her, was a fan favorite because she stood out for her unique style and personality.

Services were held this past weekend in Blue Springs, Missouri, and a scholarship fund has been established in Frankie's name at Blue Springs High School, Frankie's alma mater. In lieu of flowers, fans can send donations to the Frankie Abernathy Scholarship Fund, c/o Jackie Langston, 1205 NW Roanoke Drive, Blue Springs, MO, 64015.

The following is a list of links to major stories about Frankie and provides a pretty complete view of the events of the past week.

Our prayers and condolences are with Frankie's family, her mother Abbie, her father Joe, her stepfather Perry, her sister Mamie, and her many friends.

Jamie (San Diego), who we last saw take home the grand prize in the Inferno 2, recently appeared in Kelly Rowland's latest video "Like This". There are a couple of extras in the video, all of whom are dancing to the track at a party, but Jamie is in a couple of shots near the beginning of the video. Here's a quick snapshot:



You can catch her maybe once or twice more apart from this shot. You can also check out the video in its entirety on YouTube. For this particular video on YouTube, she shows up on 01:03 and 01:20. Check it out.

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.

Tonight is another episode of the Duel. Unlike previous weeks in which we have told you the winner and loser of the Duel, we decided to give a break. It should be a surprise, as the preview for next week shows CT (Paris) in potential danger from being sent home.

Like we told you when the season first started, there will be several weeks in which we won't spoil the outcomes. So, be sure to check out the Duel tonight, as another male will be going home.

For those of you who are disappointed, we'll re-hash the outcome of the season, which we announced back in July. To find out the outcome of this season, highlight the following blurb: The final four are Brad (San Diego), Jodi (Extreme), Svetlana (Key West) and Wes (Austin). Wes and Jodi win.

On last night's Duel episode, Wes (Austin) made a comment that he wanted to ask Johanna (Austin) to marry him. Want to know how that worked out? Well, Wes, Johanna, Melinda (Austin), Brad (San Diego) and other castmembers will be making an appearance at Cafe Milwaukee.

The event is on Friday, December 15th at 8PM. There's no cover and the drinks are 1ドル. The bar is located at 1101 N. Old World 3rd Street in Milwaukee.

If you're in the area, check out the cast, you'll never know who'll you end up running into there!

Robin (San Diego) guested on the show and watched the show with Saul. They're both excited for the "great, amazing" season." Brooke (Denver) was also on the show as a taped guest.

She says that she thought that Alex (Denver) was initially a normal, sweet guy. She was blown away by the house. She explains her choice for not getting naked in the pool.

Then comes the questions. They talk about the lesbian kiss, Tyrie (Denver), Stephen (Denver)/Davis (Denver), living with the cameras, people's being comfortable with the cameras, the Alex, Colie, Jenn affair, and who she would kick out of the house (Alex). Robin will be back next week, along with Alex.

Randy (San Diego) and Leah (Paris) are back as the countdown hosts, with a brand new countdown, detailing the castmembers brush with the law. Here's a lowdown of the countdown:
