FINALLY I got a podcast set up to get a closer look at this new-ish season of Real World!
You all voted for her to be the first one, and I [eventually] made it happen!
Of course I had to ask her about the details of her and Johnny getting together, but I also really wanted to know more about her roommates. Is there any realness to Nia? Is anyone's sexuality questioned throughout the season? What is Jess like in person?
SHOCKING!: She says Jordan isn't as big of a douche as he's portrayed. I find that hard to believe, but I'll try and take her word for it for now.
I always liked Averey, but after talking to her.. she's one of the most real, and dare I say normal roommates I've ever talked to. She doesn't ever seem to be exaggerating something for a camera or an interview, she's just being her. And "her" is cool.
Next week/time I wanna get even deeper into some of these crazy people, so comment or tweet me with questions/comments. I have a feeling we're gonna need to know a lot more than what's being shown pretty soon.
Judging from the bios on the site, we have another group of people that have very troubling pasts and family issues that are obviously going to be brought to life in the show. We also have a very tall set of girls, if that intrigues you. If it doesn't, you should know that it's the girls that are clearly going to be causing the trouble this season.
The trailer officially debuts tonight during Catfish, but that's too far away.
There's a solid amount of hitting in there... and a solid amount of serious issues being brought up. That's everything a Real World fan wants in a season, right?! Oh, and a relationship, duh. Only question is: Where's the gay?!
I've chatted with some of the roommates randomly, so I think it's fair to say I'll be getting some podcasts up early in the season. I'm hoping Marlon and I become BFF.
Also, I'm still having a bit of an identity crisis with Jessica. Everything I've read about her on MTV's website, and after talking to her, she seems like a genuinely nice person. Still, people are feeling the need to blast her in every way on my website. If all of this hate is because of a couple mistakes she may have made in her past, I'm going to lose my mind. MOVE ON!
Now I must ask you: What do you think of the first sneak peek?! Excited? I GOTTA KNOW!
Let the countdown begin!
love,

PS: Follow all the roommates on Twitter over here!
A video rocked the world of Real World stalkers earlier this week. It was supposedly a fight between Jessica, Nia [Moore], and Johnny... The weird parts: There were no cameras around, it was hard to see anything, and it was deleted a couple days later. I don't know if it was a fake, a ploy to get some publicity for this season that most people are expecting to be hella boring, or a legit leaked video that BMP had removed.
Now that we've addressed that, let's move onto some photos that won't be taken down.
Jordan and I think that's Averey.
The much-hated [in the comments section of my blog] Jessica.. His caption with the bottom one is "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
These are all taken from Ryan Downs' [the guy who's in all of them] Facebook. He also regularly hangs out with Tony Pieper from The Bachelorette, too. [Based on pictures, I really wonder if he shoulda been on Bachelorette, and not the Bachelor.....]
I don't know what his connection with the roommates is beyond being a guy who's known by everyone in town. Someone suggested that he has a relationship with one of them, but I can't see that in the pictures.
Jessica certainly looks like a normal, fun, girl that I'd probably try to be friends with in these pictures. I am beyond interested to see how she is. After reading the 80+ comments on her post [90% of which are REALLY bad], I have no idea what to think! Ryan seems to like her, though!
Rumor has it they've also finished production and sent the cast home. That'd be about the right timing, but it's lame for them to miss out on Halloween! Womp.
OMG. I can't even begin to tell you guys how excited I am right now!
I've known [and told you in a podcast] that the next Real World would be in Portland for a little while, but I was waiting for some good details to share with you. Well friends, those details are finally here! But that's not exactly why I'm excited.
He even posted a video of a mysterious dog on their balcony/porch/rooftop! [Which, by the way, is pretty neat... but while BMP probably thought they were being sneaky and hidden up there, they had no idea this spy dude existed.
Some people may have thought I'd be jealous when someone did this, but absolutely not! [Truth is, I know I was the first to do it on Twitter/video/blog/podcast, so it's fine! ;)] I'm so excited to see what they post and I'd really like to talk to him ASAP!
I'll RT stuff I think is interesting, and of course keep you updated on here with big happenings. In the meantime, here are some of the things he's posted:
And as soon as I saw that picture, it totally took me back to RWDC. I know we shouldn't always compare, but whatever. It looks so much like the scene on S St.
Well, maybe not exactly in the pictures... but definitely in my real-life memory. ;)
I think that last picture seems very old-school Real World for some reason... Of course, just a first impression off four pictures of people I know nothing about, but that's fine.
We do know some stuff about one person, though! Meet Averey Tressler:
21
From Tecumseh, Michigan, now lives in Phoenix/Temple, Arizona
Hooters waitress
Played basketball and volleyball
[That second picture is her HS senior portrait from 2009, I believe...]
Not much to know about her as of now, but Hooters waitresses always provide a good time, eh?!
And that's basically the gist of what's been happening in the past week! Comment or tweet me about your thoughts on Portland and the new "spy!"
