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,

real world portland: pics of the cast partying

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.

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
