Irene from Seatle tours and speaks about lyme disease. My housemate met her and her mother a couple of years ago when she was in MA for a speaking engagement and went shopping at the mall he worked in at the time. He said she was a really nice person and very gracious towards people who recognized her from the show.

Did anyone get all of tonight's show? I got the first 15 minutes played twice! There was a commericial before Genesis did the challenge, and when it came back Emily was going home again. Grrrr.....like I needed to see that twice!

Same happened here. Did not get to see who was sent home. Wonder if we can catch it on a rerun.

Not1, I thought I was losing my mind. I was taping it, cuz I feed the kitties at ten and couldn't see the very beginning with the Emily bologna. I thought maybe I had somehow rewound the tape and pushed play, but the VCR still said "REC". Yeah, it was a wreck alright.

I hardly ever watch this show because I prefer to watch a whole bunch of them together, and I managed to catch 8 or 9 over the weekend. I wanted to see tonight's show and now they went and messed it all up. Hopefully when it's repeated over the weekend we'll get to see the whole thing.

Yep, someone in the MTV control room screwed the pooch tonight! Hopefully they'll fix it on a rerun.

Bit o' trivia: "Screwed the pooch" must be a legitimate phrase now, 'cause Sam Waterson's character on Law and Order used it in a courtoom scene the other night! :)

Double run of the first half of the show happened to me too. Very annoying!!!

The Princess Melissa website tells what happens if anyone wants to know.

Corriecat - Thank You for the Irene update. She was the coolest. Glad it didn't scar her too much.

Now I'm annoyed by my double post (guess it is a triple post by this point). Checked repeatedly for my first post - it isn't there. I give up and post again - wa la!!! Both posts!!!

They finally got the end working by west coast, so the reruns should all be okay. And in that little bit, I came to admire Antoine; he's a class act. Shane is too.

Does anyone know when the reruns will be on this weekend? My guide just says Real World for anything and everything that fits the category, whether it's the Vegas one or the challenge. I also missed the beginning episodes, I didn't start watching till they were down to about 12 per side. I wish they'd put out a DVD of the whole challenge.

Danged MTV morons! Now I'll have to watch over the weekend. I normally read Melissa's recaps anyway, so I'll read what she had to say.

Emily was so full of shizznit - since her sister needed her so much, why do the challenge in the first place? Ruthie and Ellen will both have to deal with the fact that they could have kept Veronica and sent her butt home earlier.

How much do you want to bet that if Emily had been the one to be disqualified, James would have surely stayed for the money. Oh well, they are both gone, hallefriggin'lujah!!

My cable is down so I couldn't watch it anyway, glad to see I didn't miss much.

Saw the rerun, didn't miss much anyway....Genesis got DQ'd for getting off the scooter, Antoine won the event. Genesis and Shane got sent home. And the final teams are pretty much set: Melissa is too far behind to get into the top three for the girls, and Antoine basically needs Colin to DQ and get a zero somehow to make it in the final three.

Also, the rumor next year's Challenge will be "Old
School" (Seasons 1-6 of both shows) vs "New School" (Seasons 7 and later)

And personally I would do it differently....you can keep the Inner Circles and the cumlative points, but do it like this: The teams vote for two (IC people are immune, as well as lifesaver person) people to put up before the OTHER IC, and the IC eliminates someone from the other team....it gets everyone involved in the vote-off process every week, and the IC have to make a decision for once....the lifesaver winner must tell who is getting it before the teams vote on nominees, so its useful for once. Once you get down to say, six people on each team, only the top person on each side is safe (as well as lifesaver), and there is no IC: Everyone participates in the nomination and the elimination decisions. So the process is somewhat out of their hands....You may want someone out, but even if you get that person nominated, it doesn't mean that person will be eliminated by the other team.

The thing that bothered me about Emily using her sister as an excuse to leave, was that she said if James wasn't leaving she would have stayed. So, are you leaving because your sister needs you or are you leaving because your boyfriend is? Of course this is typical Emily behavior which is why she's not my favorite.

Well, I can tell you one person who won't be on next year.....Kit from season one....Starting in October, she's gonna be on ESPN2. They're starting a morning sports-talk like show called "Cold Pizza".

I believe Jacinda Barrett (RW London) was on that very short lived show with Bo Derek a few years ago. Come to think of it, I have never seen her on one of these challenge shows, but yet the same crop keeps popping up over and over again.

It's interesting to see how people have changed. Prime example is Chadwick - I thought he was cool on RR Australia. But then he married that Holly, who I always thought was a b!tch, and now he's just as much of a jerk.

Jacinda is going to be in the movie The Human Stain coming out in September. I don't know how big her role is, but it is a very impressive cast.

THE HUMAN STAIN is the story of Coleman Silk (Anthony Hopkins), a distinguished professor at a prestigious New England college whose professional life is shattered by allegations of racism and whose personal life is infected with the cancer of a lie he has been living for fifty years. His career and reputation in ruin, Silk begins a dynamic resurrection through two new relationships: one, a friendship with the writer Nathan Zuckerman (Gary Sinise) whom he intrigues with his story, the other a scandalous affair with a young woman (Nicole Kidman).
MPAA Rating: R for language and sexuality/nudity.

Release Date: September 26th, 2003 (LA/NY).


Cast and Credits

Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, Jacinda Barrett

Directed by: Robert Benton

Written by: Nicholas Meyer

Distributor: Miramax

Crazydog, I agree about Chadwick and Holly.

Thanks for the info, Grooch. Wow, Jacinda gets listed just after 4 Oscar winners or nominees. "The Human Stain" has a lot of buzz and many say that Hopkins and Kidman are strong Oscar contenders. Good for Jacinda.

Crazydog, Jacinda's show with Bo Derek was called "Wind on Water". Yes, it was VERY short lived - I believe it got pulled after 2 or 3 episodes. I think I also saw her in one of the Urban Legends movies - the last one? Can't remember.

Of all the RW/RRers, she has had the most legitimate acting career. I also posted a while ago about how the same people show up every year. Kind of makes you wonder if all of them are wannabe actors and this is just their avenue for continued exposure. They also make public appearances. Why anyone would pay several thousand for someone like Emily to show up somewhere is beyond me.

Wasn't Jacinda in a TV show about a group twenty-somethings living in D.C.?

Yes Frog - I kept thinking there was another one. It was more recent than the Bo Derek show. I watched the D.C. one. The show wasn't terribly interesting, but Jacinda's acting was as good as anyone else on the show. (Didn't it also star the guy who played Zach on Saved by the Bell?)

D.C. was the name of it. Here is a link.
