Real World 21 Now Casting

Real World 21 is now casting.

Real World Hollywood

For the next season of The Real World, MTV didn't even bother to pretend that the cast members aren't wannabe actors. The show will be set in Hollywood and feature a cast of talentless actors.

The Sports Guy on Isaac from Real World Sydney

The Sports Guy nominates Isaac Stout from the Real World Sydney for Coolest Newcomer of the Year. (Click link and scroll down two thirds of the page to the Niners over Vikings heading.)

Real World Sydney

The Real World Sydney cast is southern and slutty. Dunbar and Cuhotta are southern guys. Isaac is an ex-convict -- can't wait until the girls find out they're living with a criminal. Trisha, Shauvon and KellyAnn are slutty girls, and Parisa is an uptight Iranian girl. Breaking with tradition, this season does not have a black and a gay. In a weird hookup, Isaac and Shauvon hooked up in the confession room. It went far enough that he had his trousers down. Trisha has already decided to take a break from her U.S. boyfriend -- gee, I didn't see that coming -- since when do Real Worlders take breaks from their girlfriends/boyfriends while filming the show? Her eyebrows are very strangely plucked. Trisha and Shauvon go out with two Aussie guys. Parisa gets so loaded off of two drinks that Dunbar has to carry her home over his shoulder. The girls get in a senseless fight because Trisha is on the computer non-stop waiting for an e-mail from the boyfriend she just told she wanted a break from, as if that is the most important thing on the planet, and Parisa wants to check her e-mail. These chicks are a total mess -- as self-centered as imaginable. There should be lots of fights this season.

Reunited: The Real World Vegas

The original Real World Las Vegas season was, depending on your point of view, either the best or the worst season in Real World history. It was a defining season in which cast members focused less on incessant whining about perceived problems in the house and more on having a good time partying and hooking up.

On Reunited: The Real World Vegas, the dynamics have changed since the original season. Originally, Frank was the nice guy who fell for Trishelle within minutes of meeting her, only to be disillusioned moments later when he discovered she was a slut. Now, the new Frank is much more relaxed and wants only to drink a ton and sleep with as many girls as possible. He and Steven seem awfully tight, so much so that I'm half expecting the two of them to end up in bed together some night if Frank can't get any action from the ladies.

On an unrelated note, let me give some unsolicited advice to the Maloof brothers, owners of The Palms. Banning Steven from the pool was asinine. What did he do? He may have thrown some ice at someone and then thrown her into the pool? Who cares? This is supposed to be Vegas, baby, not a Holidome in Peoria. Man up, Maloof brothers, and let Steven and Frank have fun together.

Trishelle is now bleach blonde and considers herself to be an "actress." She demonstrated for the girls how she learned to pole dance for her latest role. This was at the post-marriage, post-babies bachelorette party she threw for Brynn, who has gone from a dysfunctional go-go dancer to a dental hygienist wife and mother. Trishelle's party for her was awkward and forced, with far too many male strippers involved.

Alton, Irulan and Arissa have some major issues. During the original season, Irulan was in an "open relationship" and took advantage of that time to hook up with Alton. Apparently, after the show, Alton and Irulan dated for three years and were also close to Arissa until something happened in a bathroom. Arissa claims that Alton tried to kiss her, but he denies it, bringing to mind his bragging about a threesome and subsequent denial of it during the original season.

On the same night as Trishelle's bachelorette party for Brynn, the guys throw a bachelor party for Brynn's husband Austin in another suite -- the hardwood suite. Girls are there when the guys arrive, but it turns out they just play the guys in a lame game of basketball and leave. Later that night, Frank manages, separately, to make both Irulan and Arissa lose their minds and storm out of the suite for completely overblown reasons.

Real World San Diego's Frankie Abernathy Passes Away

Real World San Diego's Frankie Abernathy has, unfortunately, passed away due to cystic fibrosis. She was a bit of an odd ball on the show, having, for example, an unusual fear of big boats.

Real World Las Vegas Mini-Season

The entire Real World Las Vegas cast will move back into the same suite at The Palms for a mini-season. Filming will last about three weeks. Trishelle is taking time away from her busy movie career to join the rest of the cast.

Tyrie goes nuts on Real World Denver

Here's my view on tonight's RW Denver.

MTV Casting 20th Season of Real World

The Real World is seeking cast members for its 20th and possibly last season. I don't believe this for a second, but the notice says they're seeking people with career and life goals. I actually thought having career and life goals would disqualify anyone from the cast.

For Real World’s upcoming 20th season, we are searching for cast members with career and life goals that they want to pursue in a major metropolitan city.

Aspiring actors, models, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, athletes, artists, journalists, stylists, and fashion designers are particularly encouraged to apply, as well anyone else with interesting career goals and a passion to succeed.

Weird Real World Amazing Race 'N Sync Love Triangle

Davis from the Real World apparently is involved in a weird love triangle with 'N Sync's Lance Bass and The Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl. The Amazing Race has a disproportionate percentage of gay contestants on the show, and who would have thought that anyone in 'N Sync was gay?

Real World Denver: Colie Strives for Attention

This week's Real World Denver focused on Colie's never-ending demands for attention from guys. She is in the standard Real World "open relationship" with a guy back home -- which is a recipe for disaster by at least one cast member every season. She is dating a local guy who quit his job to be with her because Outward Bound has a no fraternization policy. And she continues to try to make Alex feel guilty for doing his friend Stacy in the house, loudly, every night.

Real World: Jenn and Brooke Melt Down

On the Real World Denver, two weeks ago Jenn had a few too many and had a major meltdown fight with Tyrie. She constantly said that Tyrie reminded her so much of her old boyfriend and that that made her dislike him.

Last night, it was Brooke's turn to have a meltdown. She went to have her nails done and could not find the salon. Has she never heard of Mapquest? She was walking around by herself in a slutty outfit trying to find the salon. It appeared that she was in a decent but not the greatest part of town, certainly not skid row. Given the way she was dressed, someone made a catcall to her that she didn't care for. When she returned to the house, she said she had been to the ghetto. Tyrie made a joking comment about her use of the term "ghetto," and she flew off the handle, calling her mother and wailing into the phone about how she is living through hell. Those trips to the manicure and pedicure lady sure can be traumatic. Poor girl. She also whined about how she is paying $725 a month on her apartment in California. Her mom corrected her, saying she only pays $475. Brooke responded by saying it's $725 if you include utilities, to which her mom responded by saying that the mom is paying the utilities for her. Brooke's response was to tell her mom to throw her a bone because she was trying to make a point. Colie came down with mono. Who knows what other diseases she may have.

Tyrie Hits on Two Girls

On the Real World Denver, Tyrie hit on two girls, Ashley and Jazelle. He seemed to prefer Jazelle and spent most of the episode with her. The group went out on June 6, 2006, and Brooke and Jenn dressed as sluts and Davis put on eye makeup and a Zorro mask. They seemed surprised when nobody else in the bar was dressed up. For some reason, Colie was not with them.

Real World Producer Interviewed about Last Week's Fight

Real World producer Jon Murray talks about the smack down fight between Tyrie and Davis on The Real World Denver.

Real World: Tyrie and Davis' Drunken Fight

On the Real World Denver, the cast members were out at a bar, and Davis left early to go home and call his boyfriend. The boyfriend warned Davis not to drink too much. When the rest of the group came home, Tyrie went nuts on Davis in the hot tub. Apparently, the bartender called Stephen the N word, and Tyrie assumed that Davis had heard the remark and nevertheless left the bar.

Tyrie did not seem upset at all with the bartender who uttered the slur, and he did not try to go back to the bar to confront the alleged racist. Instead, he blamed everything on Davis despite the fact that Davis may not have even heard anything. Of course, had he heard anything, he was so drunk that it probably would not have registered in his brain anyway.

At first, Davis was so drunk that he just had a silly grin on his face in response to Tyrie's outburst. After being repeatedly harassed by Tyrie, Davis started to yell back, telling Tyrie to hit him so Tyrie would be sent home. The yelling went on for much of the episode.

Colie would occasionally interject herself into the argument to take Tyrie's side and blame everything on Davis. Given that the focus of the incident was on alleged hate speech, it is ironic that nobody seemed to bat an eye at Tyrie's anti-gay tirade.

Eventually, MTV's producers stepped in to try to prevent things from escalating and took Davis to a hotel room for the night. The next day, in true Real World fashion, everyone hugged and made up. Davis apologized and said he has a drinking problem, to which Alex responded by saying he just needs to go out more, presumably so he can build up his tolerance so he can drink more.

My description of this fight does not do it justice. Nearly every Real World episode has stupid fights, but this one takes the cake. It has to be a new low, even by Real World standards. The shallowness of the Real World cast members is mind-boggling. Here you have people who are wildly concerned not with their own actions but with any hint of perceived disrespect to them by others, yet after they have the ugliest fights imaginable, the next day everything is fine and dandy. I could not imagine the Real World casting crew finding any more shallow, self-absorbed people than they do season after season. Which is, of course, why we watch the show.

Real World Denver

Big stuff went down. I wasn't ready for it. Colie is going to end up doing Tyree. More tomorrow. Check in.

Real World Denver: Study in Alex and Colie

So Colie finds out that Jen did Alex. But they both decided they they loooove each other and that their friendship is much stronger than either of their relationship with a guy. I mean, come on, Colie is going to be in Jen's wedding! That's what she said. Jen was so upset, I think more worried about getting caught than anything and she probably wouldn't have told Colie about the hot sex in the guest room. But then Colie saw the hickey on Jen's neck while she was showering. Yeah, girls do that, watch each other take a shower. Just like when we have slumber parties and have naked pillow fights, right. Anyway, they bonded over this issue. Alex and Colie talked it out. and I don't think Colie wants to be the desperate girl on the show. ( I like her better now) It's just that she likes Alex. So they talked and made a pact. Not to hook up with anyone the next day. Gosh, that's a committment. It was hilarious though. Alex took it back the next day.

I like the Tennesse girl. Colie, Jen and the TN girl went out. Colie picked up Nick, a dude in a bar. Brought him back to the house to make Alex jealous. It worked.

Nick told the TN girl that she didn't like him. TN girl said she liked him as long as he didn't F Colie. I like TN girl. She's a girl's girl. She has Colie's back and I kind of feel sad for her that's she's the third wheel. I hope Jen atleast asks her to read in her wedding. But seriously. I like her, she seems normal. Or seemed normal this time.

Poor Colie, just wants a boyfriend and Alex is really the only option for her. That's what she said.

Oh, one more thing. Check out this link. It gives 5 reasons why you're too old too be watching Real World.

Real World Denver: Good Stuff

I am waiting anxiously for Wednesday to come around again. I thought the premiere was good stuff and if it says anything about what the rest of the season will be like, it will be HOT.

Colie: At first I didn't like her but she grew on me throughout the show. Sometimes she's pretty, sometimes she's not but I think it's the voice that makes her come across as unattractive at times-nasally and whiny and kind of manly. I hope she doesn't turn into a Trishelle-needy and desperate. Although Trishelle will always be one of my favorites, I don't feel like revisiting her inadequacies.

The Southern Girl: Same thing, sometimes she looks great, others she comes across as kind of cheesy. I'm still not sure where she is going to fit into the picture.

African American Baptist: Reminds me of a boring Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bellaire. I am so over the "I don't believe in the homosexual lifestyle" scenario. Seen it all before.

Trampy Chick: She's going to be good for the show and the ratings. Instigating lesbian makeouts and what not.

Alex: Don't really find him very attractive.

Blond Baptist Gay Boy: Love him. He's the cutest one on the show and he's definitely fit.

Big African American Guy: He will hookup with someone in the house whether they want to believe it or not.

Can't wait to find out what other reality tv bloggers think of the group on the attractiveness scale. I wasn't impressed and I don't think there will be any in house love relationships other than the occasional hookups.
