Down in the Annex, the fourth round of Madness dueling was wrapping up. Maria showed up with both Ria and Myria in tow. Neither looked too terribly thrilled that their sister-in-law/sister was fighting mere days after awaking from some sort of coma. Despite beating Aya to move on, our sources tell us she looked bad enough afterward to draw concern from Kalamere, Teagan, and Tass. She stayed on her feet at least long enough to exit the building escorted again by both Ria and Myria. It seems that whatever it is that is happening or has happened, the Grazianos are closing ranks.

At the very same time, Sylus and Anubis were facing off for another division championship in the Madness Tournament. Evidently Crazy Train Tara was present to root on her man and was overheard by our sources calling Anpu’s opponent “Sylus the Virus”! Love it! She was evidently pretty worried that Anubis would catch some sort of communicable disease from Sylus. We don’t think communicable diseases scare Anubis. After all, have you met his wife???

The minions and others competing in Deathlord’s squire tournament cornered Taneth to try to get her “favor” which will give them bonus points. The quest for Teagan’s favor broke down into an insult match between the head Minion and Kattria. It seems that the head Minion takes offense to, well, a living being serving as squire to Deathlord. We hear that the bickering got pretty heated. We’re not entirely sure what Kattria even wants to be Deathlord’s squire. She seems like the type, though, to do something like that just to irritate Deathlord and his minions.

Teagan and Kalamere have gotten close awfully fast! It’s too bad that Teagan’s not capable of actual, functioning relationships because there’s definitely a good vibe between the pair. Not only do they clearly have chemistry but they seem to have a lot of heart-to-heart chats. We hear that they were having one of those Sunday night as they watched Teagan’s girlfriend, Joey, get a duel in. In fact, our sources claim that the conversation was in fact about Joey! It’s only a matter of time before Kalamere has one of the best nights of his life with those two young ladies! …And we do use the term “ladies” loosely.

Our sources claim that Roran was spotted in a pretty rough and tumble fight in the rings with Roderick laaate into the night. Evidently in the middle of the match Roran said something about how he was lucky that his “mate” was talented with ice to apply to his bruises. Mate??? Did we miss something??? That seems a bit speedy, doesn’t it??? We know that he and Ms. Wyh Not have been getting along fabulously but…. mate??? That word could mean a lot of things so we’re going to try to not jump to any conclusions. What do you think???

We are not at all surprised that Darien was seen hitting on a girl at the bar. His dame of choice was that new girl, Alice, and he seemed to be laying it on pretty thick. The great thing about Darien showing playing with girls’ emotions like a cat toys with a mouse before it eats it is that we learn more about them. It turns out that Alice is a former slave. He kept questioning her but it seems that Alice is one of those rare damaged girls who WON’T drop their whole life story within ten minutes of meeting them. Very rare. In fact, she was quick to change the subject with the help of Crazy Train Tara. Darien returned to laying down his “charm” on Collie while Alice wrote a note to Panther for Tara in some book Tara keeps of all the bad stuff that happens in the Inn when Panther is away. We wonder if she keeps track of all the bad stuff that she herself does in the Inn as well!

Maeve and Ethan looked awfully cute together. We hear that they were seen having a quiet date night together over coffee. We really want to continue to hate him but he’s really seemed to clean up his act. The pair have been together for quite a while since “the incident” and Maeve seems perfectly happy. In fact, we hear that she was quite affectionate with Ethan and that he got quite flustered by her attention. We hear that they made quite the quick exit! Cute!

OMG! Sinjin Fai was seen in the Inn! No lie! Well, maybe it is a little lie. According to our sources he was never actually seen IN the Inn but he was seen ON the porch! That’s got to be a step in the right direction, right??? We’d love to know what trouble he’s up to. Our sources couldn’t get any details but he was seen having a heavy and intimate chat with Awful Ali for some time on the porch. We’re betting that right now Ali really needed someone to talk to. He’s got to have a lot on his mind!

What had to be the most understated challenge of the year went down in the Annex early Friday night. Seriously, there was absolutely no drama connected to it. Where is the fun in that??? We need trash talking! Or a gimmick! Or a longtime rivalry! Give us something, kids! Anyway, the Baron Neo met his warlord challenger, Soerl, for the right to the Dockside barony. Neo’s hot mess of a squire/girlfriend, Kelathe, stood as his second and lady of honor. Soerl’s wife, Lydia was his lady of honor. It was a best of three. Soerl won. He went loyal to Tical which makes no sense. Let’s pick off a loyal to… go loyal? Nothing else of interest to note.

Congratulations, Soerl!

Sarah seemed on the defensive Friday night about her “engagement” to Rix. Misty and Sivanna were overheard questioning the speedy relationship and Sarah mentioned that they hadn’t set a date yet for the wedding. And you won’t, sweetheart, but keep dreaming. Sarah also mentioned that she thinks that the reason that nobody knew about their relationship is because they are taking things at their own pace. Heh. That’s pretty funny. He’s STILL yet to introduce her to ANY of his friends. Our bet remains that this is just another girl in a long line of them!

Also, be sure to vote in the primaries this weekend! The polls are open and we want to know who YOU want to be your governor!

The Many Faces of Fio was in fine crazy fashion Wednesday night in the Red Dragon Inn… which is to say that she wasn’t Fio at all. We hear that she was chatting away to some big scary looking guy about kittens and bendy straws and the baby in her belly. Ugh. We want this to work out. We want Fio to be a good mother. But how in the world could anybody trust her with a small child??? Having had to raise Intern Pumpkin Head since her parents were unfortunately lost to our cause, we know first hand that taking care of a newborn is seriously hard work! It takes everybody here at the Den of Gossip to work together to take care of her. We’re just not so sure that some of Fio’s personalities are up for the task. Really, Ali, what were you thinking???

Our sources tell us that the Arena was absolutely packed Wednesday night for back-to-back challenges. The first one of the night was Harris pressing challenge against Anubis for the right to the barony of Battlefield Park. We hear that Koy showed up as his lady of honor looking HAWT! It’s good to see that the girl’s back on her game! We have to wonder, however, how the Gov MAN-tastic Matt feels about his wife getting all prettied up for another man. Clearly, he’s not too upset as he served as Harris’ second for the night.

As is typical with Anubis, things couldn’t go off without a hitch. His wife, Dawn, was overheard making some comments to Pslyder that are so wrong that we can’t even post them in this blog! More importantly, Anubis had himself strapped to Harris and the pair had to fight the entire duel with knives while tied together. It definitely made for an interesting evening! Kattria, who we fall deeper and deeper in love with every day, was overheard saying that she didn’t know it was going to be a “hand-fasting”. OMG! We love a witty chick!

Unfortunately for the good of the city, Harris was not able to put Anubis in his place. Anubis won the best of three in two duels and remains the Baron of Battlefield Park. Ugh. Congratulations, Anubis… or whatever.

Wow! Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was overheard telling Kalamere that she is thinking of asking Joey to head home with her to visit her folks. That sounds like a major step! We had no idea they were like that. We’re a little worried for Teagan’s sake. We kind of feel like Joey’s experimenting and isn’t as serious about this relationship as Teagan is. Teagan definitely has a history for falling deeper for the people that she’s sleeping with than they fall for her.

Ugh. Rekah and Dawn were seen together again! This just keeps getting worse and worse. They were chatting with one another like old friends. We hear that there was even discussion of the pair having tea with Crazy Train Tara. Really??? Really??? These are the people that Rekah is going to be allowed to hang out with. Where is her new boyfriend??? Haven’t we already made fun of Mini-Frank Cor enough for failing to tell his girlfriend to STAY AWAY FROM THE SLAVER! Cassius has been around forever! He has no excuse for not warning his girl about the more unsavory elements of the Arena. We remain seriously unhappy.

Guill seems to be on a mission to be the first duelist in history to give each and every one of the sitting barons a defense. He and Deathlord also chose Wednesday night to meet up. Slightly more than twenty-four hours beforehand, Deathlord had changed his alignment to loyal and Overlord Tical had accepted it! It was definitely a surprising move but everyone could see the writing on the wall after that! Tical did step in to intercede on behalf of his newest loyal baron. He lost by a point but it turned out that Deathlord didn’t need the intercession. He came close to a shutout but couldn’t make it happen. He did, however, take an impressive 5-1 win!

Congratulations, Deathlord! New Haven continues to be represented by one heck of a scary dude. We can’t help but laugh.

We’re a little worried still about Deathlord’s fascination with Taneth. She was present to cheer for him as well as Harris. It’s more than a little creepy, isn’t it??? Thankfully, she was distracted from Deathlord and his minions by the presence of Shy who it seems showed up to cheer on Harris. When did Harris get so many friends??? Don’t people know that he’s a world class jerk! But maybe it’s just that compared to Anubis, he’s a really nice guy.

We hear that the adorable little Amber was overheard offering to find one of her friends a date that wasn’t “all grabby hands”. Niiiice. The problem is that most women in this town like their men grabby and rude. The bad boys prosper and the good boys remain single. And then these same ladies can’t figure out why it is that the men they find end up leaving them! Maybe we should hire Amber on as an instructor in this dating school! She certainly seems to have her head on straight!

Ali was seen catching up with his dear friend Kate. They certainly seem pretty… well, intimate friends. We’re not so sure we trust her and we’re not so sure that Fio should either. We don’t believe that her feelings for Ali are completely platonic and she seems like one of those pseudo good girls who will stab you in the back and steal your man as soon as you turn your back. Ali’s not the type to leave a pregnant wife, is he??? No, probably not. However, we wouldn’t put it past him to cheat on his pregnant wife with an old flame. Watch your back, Fio! That’s all we’re saying! We don’t want to see the first marriage that we ever officiated end in a blaze of fire. Seriously. This time we really don’t.

Everett and Glenn were seen chatting together at the bar… which really isn’t all that surprising. We don’t think that they knew each other from when Everett was first in RhyDin but their personalities are so similar that it was only a matter of time before they met and became fast friends. What was surprising is that Juliane was seen with the pair of them! Let’s take two somewhat shy, quiet men and throw in an effervescent, beautiful young woman??? We’re surprised that the two didn’t spend the whole night tripping over their tongues in her presence. She can’t possibly be interested in one of them…. could she???

There was a lot going on in the Annex Friday night! Not only were Madness duels in high swing but there are quite a few people participating in this New Haven Squire tournament. Seriously??? There are people out there who WANT to be the Squire to Deathlord??? This is really just getting too weird. Somebody finally needs to step up and end his reign! It’s not enough that the scary looking guy is the baron of the most upscale district in RhyDin but he’s also starting some sort of creepy real estate business in New Haven. We’re not big on the interest Taneth has taken in him either…. or that he has taken in her. Really, Lucky Lawyer Lucien should put an end to that!

It seems that Kattria survived her sexual encounter of the frequented kind. She was back in the Annex Friday night getting some dueling in and we hear that she had a new face with her. Evidently the young woman’s name is Tristanie and she’s Kattria’s sister. She’s definitely a bit more on the silly side and evidently she had a toad with her. A bit odd but what else would you expect from a sister of Kattria??? The girls were quite the bubbly force and according to their conversation it seems we can expect dueling out of Tristanie in the future!

So it seems this whole Rix/Sarah thing is for real! What in the world??? He was seen hanging out on the couch with her while she called and we’re told that the action was one step from inappropriate behavior for a caller. They were even overheard discussing how he had just moved into her place!  We’re totally confused. We know one thing, though. Rix has been with a lot of girls over the years but he never makes it to the end of an aisle. We’re betting that this wedding never happens.

They weren’t the only surprising pair caught cuddling in the Annex late into the night! We hear that Paradise was seen all snuggled up to… Shadow??? Now there are rumors that Paradise was dating Venom Vinny but we’re sure that it wasn’t exclusive because nothing ever is with Venom Vinny. Therefore, we’re not too terribly surprised to see Paradise with another man but… Shadow??? When did these two start hooking up? She definitely seemed to light up when she saw him and he was definitely feeling her. Iiiiinteresting!

Riley and that Aolani chick got into it again…. right in front of Riley’s new man, Daniel. Riley wrote us some long winded explanation about why she and Aolani don’t get along but it was vague and we don’t buy it. Considering Riley seemed to throw Thursday night’s fit while Aolani was in the middle of working her assets to flirt with another woman we think jealousy is the real motive. And hold your letters now, Riley, because it doesn’t matter if it is or it isn’t. That’s how it looks and that’s not the image you want throwing around in front of your new guy now, is it??? Men like stable women, not nutcases. If Riley doesn’t get her act together maybe you ladies will have a second shot at this Daniel fellow!

The Arena was busy as the third round of Madness dueling began. Kalamere faced an unfair disadvantage while dueling Jay (who eventually beat Kalamere by a point) because Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was outside the ring moaning Kalamere’s name. That’s got to be more than a little distracting. We hear that her full court press didn’t end there. When Kalamere left the ring she seemed to be on a mission to get him back in bed and make herself his “favorite”. Iiiinteresting. We hear that she’s going to have to work harder to be the apple of Kalamere’s eye. He was seen with Jaycy and Maria chatting later in the evening. Evidently Maria was pissed at Kalamere for some story he leaked and Jaycy was helping to smooth things over. We don’t see Kalamere picking a favorite anytime soon. He seems quite happy playing the ENTIRE field.

Um. Lavender is NOT Neo’s color! Our sources report back to us that he looked less than enthused Thursday night when he was spotted in the Arena in a lavender uniform. Duci and Sivanna were greatly amused. Duci called him “brave” for wearing the color in public and Sivanna seemed to be struggling against laughter. According to Neo, when he woke up Thursday morning he found that all his clothes had been turned lavender. Some sort of April Fool’s joke we suppose??? We here at the Den of Gossip don’t celebrate the holiday. We don’t understand why there should be only one day to celebrate mean-spirited pranks. Our entire lives are a celebration of mean-spirited pranks!

We’ve got to hand it to poor Loxley. Even though he was being hit on by two notorious flirts in Kelathe who he was dueling and Jaycy who was standing outside the ring, he still managed to win the duel by a point. The ladies still didn’t lay off him and were seen blowing him kisses and making suggestive comments. Classy, ladies. Poor kid! There should be laws in this town about those two women keeping their distance from impressionable young teenagers.

Jaycy added a new name to her lil’ black book it seems! She was overheard by more than one person convinced Kattria to come home to “play” with her and Pslyder. OMG! Come on! Our sources have told us that over the past week or so it seems that Kattria has given up on Kalamere being interested in anyone that doesn’t have a barony so she accepted pretty readily. Do any of the women that frequent the Annex have any moral backbone at all??? Another good girl brought down by Jaycy’s ridiculousness! Ugh!

Too late, ladies! We told you that this Daniel seemed a bit too good to stay single long in this town! The restaurant owner is handsome and doesn’t seem to have any weird tendencies at first glance. Well, Riley seems to think the same thing! They’ve been seen together in the Inn quite a bit lately and last night she was overheard asking him out on a date. We like girls who know what they want and don’t wait for men to make the first move! Get him, girl! She looked pretty hot too in a pencil dress and with her hair and makeup done smartly. And he was no fool! He accepted her invitation for dinner and a movie. Who wouldn’t???

Evidently Darcy hasn’t been reading our blog… or she was playing dumb to give Lilli a hard time. Knowing Darcy and her love to hear about herself, we’re pretty sure she’s not skipping our blog and that she was actually just playing dumb. Anyway, Darcy gave Zev the third degree to find out exactly what his relationship with Lilli was. The pair were very vague but it was clear to everyone, including clueless Darcy, that they’re quite together. Good for Lilli! We sure hope that he treats her as well as she deserves to be treated!

Porthos seemed to be giving lessons in romance to Renne in the Outback Wednesday night. Iiiinteresting. We’re not really sure that Renne has any need for that and if we were going to be getting lessons in romance we’re not exactly sure that Porthos is who we’d go to… but whatever. We hear that the Frenchman was handing out flowers and sappy soliloquies. If nothing else, Porthos sure is entertaining! While our sources may have been entertained, Renne just seemed a bit confused.

Considering it is the night before the start of the next round of Madness dueling, things might be starting to look rosy for Jake! His opponent for this coming round, Maria, was seen looking mighty worn down and ill in the Outback. She had a quiet conversation with her teammate, Kheldar, and then had some sort of confrontation with Kalamere before stalking out. Kalamere didn’t linger long on whatever went down between them because Teagan was on hand to distract him. It seems she was trying to get him to say that she’s his favorite baroness. Iiiiinteresting? Could this all just be some sort of power struggle between the baronesses with Kalamere in the middle? Now THAT would be amusing! If that’s what’s going on, he certainly doesn’t seem to be complaining!

Kalamere also had a conversation with Ms. Wyh Not about her struggle to become a warlord! She’s so close now and we’re so excited for her! Just two more wins and there will be a Ravenlock among the upper ranks. How exciting! Anyway, it seems that Wyh is definitely interested in challenging when she does make rank but is still torn about whether to challenge on principle or because she’s interested in the district. She questioned Kalamere at length about the baronies he’s held and the reasons he’s challenged for. Isn’t she just the classiest lady EVER?!?!

Fio was later heard chatting with one of Our Darling Taneths and some disturbing news came up in their conversation. It seems that when Fio asked Taneth how many Taneths there are, Taneth replied that there isn’t as many as there used to be. That’s a little scary, isn’t it??? What do YOU think happened to the missing Taneths??? We had hope in the beginning that they would all be reunited as one but we’re quickly starting to lose that hope. The longer this goes on the more it seems like it will have a tragic ending. So, so sad!

Speaking of tragic, that’s just how the night turned out. In the middle of the crowded Inn, two (or three depending on the source) gunshots rang out. Everybody ducked for cover and when people started getting up, one person didn’t — Fury. Considering the fact that she had just entered the bar and our sources say that the only shots that were fire struck her dead center, it certainly seems that she was the object of some sort of hit. Poor child Taneth was in the room and quite shaken by the whole event. Ugh. How awful! We have a feeling that Panther is not going to be happy about this at all. We hear that the Divine Mrs. Storm kept Taneth occupied while her husband Ewan helped Fio get the body upstairs. Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Crazy Train Tara (who is still referring to Taneth as her and Lucky’s child much to Lucky’s chagrin) showed up shortly thereafter to help calm little Taneth down.

Oddly enough Fio stayed upstairs with the body for quite a while. We hear that Veighn showed up and tried to get Fio to let him in the room. Fio was very adamant that he should stay away. Their argument could actually be heard in the common room. Ewan actually had to go up and convince him to leave by promising to get him a drink.

This whole situation is very, very odd. We don’t really know what else can be said about it so we’re going to move right on to what happened in the Outback!

We hear that the ever cheerful Duci was spotted in the Outback Monday night for the first time in for-freaking-ever! We do love Duci because she can always be overheard spilling all sorts of great gossip. She’s broken some of our biggest stories for us! We do so love bubbly blondes with big mouths here at the Den of Gossip! Speaking of people who haven’t been seen in FOREVER, Dris was spotted on the couch! Yay! We are so glad he’s back! He always seems to put himself smack dab in the middle of interesting situations!

OMG! Will someone PLEASE tell us why FLAWLESS Koy is looking so darn miserable??? It’s driving us bonkers! We hear that she was again seen moping around the Outback but evidently after Cutie Carley offered to let FLAWLESS Koy dress her, she seemed to be in a bit better of a mood. Our sources tell us that Cutie Carley looked pretty smoking and not so much like a twelve year old when she came out of the locker room after Koy got done with her. If Cutie Carley let Koy dress her all the time she may have to become Hottie Carley!

Juliane was seen in the Outback strangely enough. Yep, Juliane of the Smith clan! She was evidently chatting about her art gallery with Cy… who is evidently something of an artist! Imagine that! After all the stories we’ve heard of him and his legendary mouth, we can’t help but admit we’re a little surprised at the news. The pair seemed to get along swimmingly and had quite the little discussion on art. Juliane seemed in a much better mood than she had several nights earlier and Cy really seemed to be on his best behavior!

Dris was overheard questioning Rekah about her relationship with Cassius! FINALLY! Somebody is finally showing some concern about whatever Cassius is doing to Rowdy Rekah! Rekah was overheard saying that Cassius has never asked to be her “boyfriend” and that he really is more of a “man-friend” anyway. Dris encouraged her to call him her “lover” instead. WHAT?!?! Dris, you’re supposed to be on our side here! Anyway, Rekah said she couldn’t because Tara hadn’t given her the birds and the bees talk yet… which finally gained some concern (or maybe more appropriately, humor) from Dris. Ugh. Seriously, Cassius??? You’re dating a woman who needs a birds and the bees talk…. and is going to get it from Crazy Train Tara!!!

There was some sort of relationship drama on going in the Inn most of the night but we don’t know the players at all. Brian showed up and seemed mildly amused by the evening’s entertainment. A very subdued Brian caught up with some friends and had a couple drinks. He certainly doesn’t act like the carefree Brian of old…. but really who could blame him??? He’s had one heck of a year. We only hope that he can focus on his wife and children. They definitely need him to stay strong through this whole mess.

Speaking of somebody that hasn’t been seen around much lately, Maia was seen in the Inn and seemed to be trying to keep a low profile. When someone introduced themselves to her, she was polite but not the least bit friendly. In fact, we hear that she spent the whole night appearing very guarded. We wonder if that whole melee at the St Patrick’s Day Shindig really has shaken her. Rumor has it that she was definitely in the thick of things and there was a lot of carnage. We sure hope that she’s okay.

Collie was seen hanging out with an old friend (whose name our sources were unable to catch) and feeding the kid version of Taneth masses amounts of cookies. We hear that Taneth was pretty well behaved but we’d be well behaved too if somebody just kept putting down cookies in front of us! Anyway, we hear that Darien joined Collie and her friend. There definitely seemed to be some tension between the two men. Our sources got the feeling that this male family friend (who is evidently a friend of Collie’s son-in-law) did not think the whole Darien/Collie thing was a good idea. We agree! She’s a grandmother for crying out loud! She needs a nice stable guy whose been around the block a time or two.

Ballerina Katarina and her cousin Juliane were seen chatting in the Inn late into the night. Those girls stay awfully busy with their individual endeavors. They seemed thrilled to have the opportunity to talk about old times and catch up on each other’s lives. Things seem to be getting awfully serious between Katarina and Locke. We just hope that she doesn’t make the same mistake that Eva has! MAKE THE MAN MARRY YOU! Anyway, the girls were overheard trying to put a plan together to take care of the Smith twins so that Johnny and Sianna could get a little bit of alone time. How sweet are they???

The dueling venues were packed with the last of the first round of Madness duels going on in the Annex and a crowd gathered in the Outback for a Slugfest Tournament to try to win MoonBeryl.

Harris was in the Outback at the start of the tournament but didn’t participate. We have to wonder if he has other plans that involve another opal. Why else would he miss out on the opportunity to take MoonBeryl??? Considering most of the opal holders are friends of his, we’re at a loss at who he would choose to go after. Iiiiiinteresting! He did take the opportunity to try to convince Carley (who was there to participate in the tournament) to leave Cy YET AGAIN! It just doesn’t seem to be getting him anywhere. Carley’s pretty head over heels about this guy.

Jaycy was there calling duels but she also had a conversation with Maria about Kattria. It seems that Jaycy wanted to know why Maria would warn Kattria to stay away from Kalamere. We hear that Maria was pretty pissed and denied the accusation. Jaycy tried to get her to calm down but Maria didn’t seem to be having any of it. She was seen stalking out shortly after the conversation began and Jaycy was left looking none to pleased by how the confrontation went down. We’re still DYING to know what is going on here. Kalamere is just causing TONS of drama among these women and we totally HEART him for it!

The final match for the opal came down to Jake of Red Orc Brewery and Badsider fame against Cutie Carley. Yep, you read that right. CUTIE CARLEY made it through a sixteen person tournament to show up in the final round. The match was VERY quick but that doesn’t mean that Cutie Carley didn’t hold her own. It was over after six rounds with a final score of 5-3 with Jake as the winner. An amazing performance by the little spitfire, though. And a big old hearty CONGRATULATIONS must go out to Jake!

And it seems that he got more than one prize for the night! Not only did he take home the opal but rumor has it that he was seen carrying Lil’ Black Book Jaycy out of the Outback after she promised to help him “celebrate”. OMG! We’re not really sure which one of them to want to slap upside the head. Maybe Jake because he just took home the Arena slut??? Maybe Jaycy because she went home with a half-orc??? Or maybe they just deserve one another! This makes my head ache.

After participating in the tournament, Ms. Wyh Not was seen calling duels in the Annex. She and that Roran fellow seem to still be going strong. He was seen looming behind the couch as she called. We hear that he was, as usual, very attentive to her needs and at the end of the night carried her out. This Roran certainly seems to have swept Wyh right up off her feet! Good for him to notice a real catch when he sees one!

Wow, wow, wow! Kalamere was chatting with Teagan… which wouldn’t be all that unusual considering his love for baronesses… BUT we hear that he was asking to use the kitchen at her baronial manor for the week since he evidently had his removed to put in a pool table. We assume this has something to do with the bet that he lost to Maria in which he has to cook her dinner. Anyway, Teagan let him use the kitchen FOR A PRICE! Evidently Teagan is going to make him challenge. No idea who the challenge has to be issued to but it was about somebody specific. We hear that Teagan was seen jotting down the name for Kalamere. And Kalamere AGREED! OMG! We’re so excited to see if he’s still got it and to see who that challenge has to be issued to!

The mood in the Inn was pretty upbeat even if the crowd was still small. The pretty young owner of Cameron Horse Farms, Aliss, was out and about. We hear that she was seen joking around with Ali, Fio, and Mac. Of course, as the much of the rest of the crowd was eating cookies and drinking milk, Mac was throwing back vodka. But that’s just Mac for you!

The playful atmosphere was ruined by some ice queen type who seemed to make Ali, Fio, and Lirssa awfully nervous. Our sources say that while she was quite beautiful she was a bit scary as well. We’re told that her presence left Ali looking for Darien. Chief Mischief Maker Eless who had just come from a visit with her friend, Rena, in the Outback was able to tell the tense group that Darien was in the Outback so Lirssa led the strange woman into the Outback. We’re wondering if this woman is some chick that Darien has wronged. We bet he’s got a past littered with scorned women.

Earlier in the evening in the Outback, Harris and Cy reeeeaaally got into it. Harris was overheard telling Cy that he failed as Carley’s boyfriend and telling him to hand over all of Carley’s possessions (including her underwear). Evidently, Harris felt that Cy had not done enough to protect Carley during the mayhem at the Shindig. Carley tried to break it up even as Cy destroyed a bar stool over Harris’ back and Harris had to even things up by breaking a stool across Cy’s knee! We bet Matt’s going to send him a bill for that! Even Koy was overheard mentioning that Matt was NOT going to be happy. You’d think with all the times people have destroyed or burned down the Outback, Matt would have gotten used to it by now! Anyway, Cy stormed out and Harris used this as further proof that Cy was not good enough for Carley and then he tried hooking Cutie Carley up with Kalamere!

But as we know Kalamere is only interested in baronesses! And he certainly had his hands full last night with them! We hear that Lil’ Black Book Jaycy had her hands ALL OVER HIM! We knew that this thing with Pslyder was only a brief visit in the land of monogamy. Lil’ Black Book Jaycy simply cannot help herself! Evidently Kalamere was certainly interested. The two were overheard planning a lunch date in order to talk in a more private location. Thanks for FINALLY remembering your roots, L.B.B. Jaycy! This is juuuuust the start. She’ll have bagged a half dozen guys before the next WLT and somewhere along the way broken Pslyder’s heart. What would we do without Jaycy in our lives???

Darien was seen chatting with Collie’s GRANDdaughter! That’s right! Not only is Collie a MILF but she’s a GILF as well! We have to wonder if it makes him feel a little sleazy to be reminded that he had his grabby hands all over somebody’s granny the other night??? We doubt it, though. We’re pretty sure that Darien embraces the sleaze. No idea, by the way, about what happened between him and that mystery woman that spooked Ali so much. They were seen leaving together once Darien mentioned wanting a private conversation with her. Iiiiinteresting!

Things were immediately tense between The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker and his bar mate, Serena, when they showed up for their shift. The back-and-forth bickering lasted pretty much the entire length of their shift and at one point T.W.H.T. Tucker accused her of not being excited enough about getting married. We hear that Serena also had some sharp words for some girl that she seemed to think was too trampy to be flirting with T.W.H.T. Tucker. Reeeeaaaally? Too trampy, huh? We’re starting to see a possible motive behind all this tension. Are you??? It wasn’t just Serena who he exchanged harsh words for, though. We hear that he got into it with Manly Mason, threatened Prof. Jolyon, and yelled at Crazy Train Tara for calling him a “pod person”. Then he screwed up The Many Faces of Fio’s order so badly that she looked ready to bash him over the head with something. Awful Ali had to step in and calm her down! You have to be careful with those pregnant women, T.W.H.T. Tucker! They will bite your hand off if you mess with them!

The fireworks didn’t end with T.W.H.T. Tucker storming out! Both C.T Tara and Dawn were spotted at the bar exchanging biting commentary. What do the pair of them have in common? Well, Anubis, of course! Dawn is the wife of Anubis and as most know C.T. Tara is madly in love with him and probably sleeping with him. The wife and the mistress face-off! It’s an oldie but NEVER EVER gets played out! The nasty comments didn’t last long. The two seemed to agree that they should be besties…. er, we’re not buying this at all! We’re sure they’re each just playing this frenemy game to sit in wait to kill the other. Who do you have your money on???

Daniel is NOT going to like to hear that Kazzy has given up all hope of Lizzie coming back but it seems that she’s done just that! She was overheard chatting with Fiora (and, really, those two are just two peas in a pod) and when Fiora asked about Lizzie, Kazzy said that she wasn’t holding out much hope that she would be coming back. Aw. Poor Danny. That’s so sad! Well, we know a couple cute, single chicks to hook you up with Danny. Give us a ring! You can have your pick!

O.M.G. Say it ain’t so! We have just about had enough of this! Lil’ Black Book Jaycy looked down right ridiculous according to our sources with a rose up to her nose when she came into the Arena Thursday night. We hear that she couldn’t tell the Girlfriend of the Keeper Who Shall Not Be Mentioned Per His Orders fast enough about how Pslyder spread rose petals all over her bed. Ugh. GAG! This is getting completely ridiculous. The next thing you know she’ll be skipping and making chains of daisies. What happened to the tough heart-breaker that we fell in love with??? THIS MUST STOP!!!
