– According to our sources close to the show, “Real World: Denver” cast member Tyrie has left the Inferno 3 Challenge early. There are also rumors that Denver cast member Colie has been booted from the show. As we previously told you, four members of the Denver cast (Colie, Davis, Jenn and Tyrie) made it onto the show, which is now filming in Cape Town, South Africa.

– We know for sure that Alton from “The Real World: Las Vegas” was the one that beat Tyrie and got him bounced. We’ll find out soon exactly what’s going on with Ty when we interview him in a couple weeks in advance of Denver’s Nov. 22 premiere date. We’re working on setting that up right now, but stay posted for more info. In the meantime, check here for other details on the current challenge from MM Agency…

– Oh, goodie: After it premiers on Nov. 22, iTunes will offer “The Real World: Denver” for download on your iPod. According to Variety.com, “MTV has signed a deal to funnel four of its original series to iTunes: ‘Real World: Denver,’ ‘My Super Sweet 16′ and rookie shows ‘Rob & Big’ and ‘Twentyfourseven.’” Each episode will cost $1.99, though MTV “will make the premiere episode of ‘Rob & Big’ available for free, as a promotion leading up to its debut on MTV.”

– Might they also offer “The Real World: Denver” for free before its premiere? We’re not sure, but it seems highly likely. Either way, now we can all watch the Mile High drunks while we ride the bus, catch a flight to Omaha for our sister’s wedding, or wait for the doctor to call us. Three cheers for painfully tiny video screens!

– Check out MTV.com’s On TV section of their Overdrive site for the just-posted “Real World: Denver” casting special, which includes snippets of the original casting tapes and sneak peeks of the upcoming season. Hosted by Paula and Tyler from “The Real World: Key West,” the special surveys all the cast members and their pre-”Real World” lives and families…

Want to watch “The Real World: Denver” where it was actually filmed? Soon you’ll be able to.

– Michael Martin of MM Agency, always a reliable source for “Real World: Denver” news, recently posted an interview on his blog with the marketing director of LoDo’s Bar and Grill in downtown Denver. The popular bar, practically right next to “The Real World: Denver” house at 1920 Market St., was a favorite hangout of the cast and will likely snag a lot of airtime on the show. And, as I predicted, they’ll be hosting viewing parties when the show airs, possibly featuring some cast members (at this point they’re still working on it). Read his Q&A right here…

– “Real World: Denver” cast member Stephen recently conducted an interview with The Washington Post, in which he helped feed the unenlightening hype machine leading up to the show’s Nov. 22 premiere. Of course, he’s probably contractually obligated not to divulge anything about the coming season. But if so, what’s the point of an interview?

– It’s also curious that the Washington Post’s “Lesson Learned: How to Survive Living With Roommates” feature chose a TV star to chat with, since “The Real World” is about as far as from reality as you can get. But hey — it makes for good copy. And what else is the media but a way to deliver an audience to an advertiser? And what better subject than, as MTV describes him, a hardcore conservative Republican?
