beyond the real world portland cameras: answers with averey

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.

love,

it's back! watch the real world: portland trailer and meet the cast!

It feels like it's been forever since it's been Real World season! I've felt so out of place... but! It's time to get back in action!

Real World: Portland premieres March 27! [Ugh, still a whole 'nother month!]

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,
elizabethany

real world portland cast update: meet jordan wiseley and johnny reilly

Lookie here! We've got our first two GUYS identified in the Portland house! And BOTH of them have videos showing us exactly who they are. Hello CONVENIENCE, it's nice to meet you!

And nice to meet you, Jordan Wiseley!

• 22
• From Mustang, OK
• Oklahoma State University, Business major
• Wakeboarder
• Missing at least four fingers on his left hand:
  

He seems like a pretty awesome guy, and he looks nice, too! Plays all sorts of sports, likes country AND rap music, and is basically my future husband. Or.. something.

And there's Johnny Reilly.

• 21
• From West Bridgewater [AKA Boston], MA
• Wrestled in high school, now is a chef

His audition tape isn't the most exciting thing in the world, but remember what I and all the roommates have always told us in podcasts: It's not about being obnoxious or having "the craziest, most dramatic, party life in the world." It's about being able to tell a story [and probably have something hidden in your past]. All Boston guys are good for the show, let's be honest.

That's all for now! No big stories besides being out at the bars and mingling with people from their balcony. Sounds so... familiar. 

love,

elizabethany
