beyond the challenge cameras podcast: sam and trey talk popping their cherries

Challenge podcasts aren't something I normally do, but there's no real reason for that beyond it being my "off season." Of course I still watch and get into it, but it's not as intently as a fresh season of Real World.

When Trey tweeted me about doing another podcast, I was totally down! And I had a genius idea: having Sam on as well! She comes into the studio to hang every once in a while, and it worked out perfectly!

They agreed and disagreed, and covered a LOT of ground... and considering this season leaves a whole lot of questions like "WTF JUST HAPPENED THERE?!" and "WHY IS THIS GOING ON?!"... they were able to answer a lot of those.

Just SOME of the things we talked about:

• Trey and Laura's "activities" while filming
• All of the couples' current relationship statuses
• How Trey and Marie were while filming
• The truth behind potential cast members being evaluated by psychiatrists
• The REASON everyone hated Trey
• What made the fish challenge even grosser than what we saw
• The prank that was pulled on Sam because of something Trey did
• and "Flagpoling"... the new pic trend thanks to Alton.

I really should do more of these, huh? I enjoy having Sam's take on it, too. If only it had been on video. Some of her facial expressions said WAY more than any of her words. How 'bout this: Next time I'll Ustream it live for you fancy folks.

Leave me some comments and let me know what you're thinking about this season so far! I haven't gotten to tweet much about it because of work, so I wanna know your opinion!

watch: trailer for new mtv challenge- battle of the seasons

Ohhh snap! They're rolling these seasons out quick! As soon as Real World St Thomas is done, the new Challenge: Battle of the Seasons is up, and four of our St Thomas'ans are in there!

So are four of our favorite peeps from San Diego, including Sam! And I'm very pumped to see Jemmye back in action, along with those crazies from NOLa.

I've heard things from a couple people who were out there, and the hook-ups/fights sound random/unexpected and totally intense. I'm definitely excited for this season.


And YES! You're seeing the original AND the new Las Vegas in there, but they'll be teaming up together!

Full cast is listed over on US Magazine, if you're interested, which I'm sure you are.

Get ready! This is going to be a fun season of rooting for our favorites from a LOT of seasons! [Except RWDC.. LAME!]

etv: investigating the real world auditions in norfolk, virginia

As you now, the Real World is casting for its 28th season right now! They're all over the country, and in multiple cities at once, so click here if you wanna try and catch them before it's too late!

They came to Norfolk last week, so just like old times, I went down to see the crazies that were trying to be on the show. I also snatched Sam, who was helping judge everyone, for a quick chat.

Yeah, so, not a whole lot of crazies came through at all. A few people made it back for a second call back, but who knows if any of them made it beyond that. I'm totally rooting for the red-haired girl, but hopefully she didn't try too hard.

As for Sam, she's hilarious as always and how awesome is that mohawk?! In case anyone was wondering, she's still as humble and "normal" as I've ever seen her. She's even still delivering sandwiches for Jimmy John's.

watch etv: party rockin with real world san diego's nate and sam in the studio

Nate was in town for a couple bar parties over Thanksgiving weekend [SO upset I couldn't make it to them because of having to get home for the holiday], but he and Sam stopped by the studio for a little bit on Wednesday night to get the party started.

I had them cohost my show for an hour while talked about the best and the most cheesy pick-up lines, since they seem to know their stuff.

Here's the podcast/calls:



BUT, that's not even the best part. I also wanted to know exactly what dance moves they throw onto the dance-floor when they're tryin' to get the ladies. After a couple minutes of going on tangents and stopping everything we were doing in order to get our Party Rock on, they spilled the beans.

[I also had to ask Sam what kind of underwear she wears, and of course, Nate got asked who he'd bang, kill, and marry.]



They were TOO fun, as expected. Hopefully he'll be back because I'd really enjoy a "How to Prank Your Friends" lesson from the two of them.

exclusive [video and podcast] interview: sam mcginn- real world san diego

It's about that time again! Okay, so it's BEEN about that time, but there are some people I have to deal with in order to make these things happen every time, and they don't always work with me in the beginning.

ANYWAY, Sam is LOCAL here in Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads, and called into my show on my first day, so I HAD to bring her into the studio for not just a podcast, but some video interview action, too.

She's just like you see her on the show- Real, genuine, hilarious, and comfortable being her and no one else. I loved her!

In the video, we talked about all the roommates- who she'd bang, kill, and marry; what they did around the house [hints: secret drinking games and "gay monkey"....], and of course: Do her and Priscilla hook up?!

[As for the extreme green-screen, it was the best room for the job, but I didn't wanna take away from the interview by adding something to the back! So, it's there, and you won't care.]



She told me before about how some people have gone to the extreme in trying to contact her, and I want to talk about it on tonight's show, so in the podcast- she explains what happens late at night at her parents' home.
Sam also revealed her current relationship status and how the Real World fame has changed her life in Hampton Roads.



I'm sure I'll have her on again sometime! It was great to have her in studio for a change! [It made for a lot more ADD conversation, though. We were all over the place!]

Make sure you watch tonight's episode! It's going to be a tough one for Sam, and probably a lot of her fans.

love,
elizabethany

real world san diego update: meet ashley and sam

Whew, it's been too long since I've done a full catch-up on all things Real World San Diego. I guess I got lazy with the boringness of stalking last season, but this season is proving to be full of hot tub wannabes!

Because of that, and thanks to the people on Vevmo for getting ALL of it posted on their forums, I can introduce you to two of the girls in the La Jolla house!

Meet Sam McGinn.

• 21 years old
• From Chesapeake, VA [More DMV'ans! ...kinda]
• Lesbian
• Current school unknown, but rumored to be CNU or a community college in the area
• Ran track in high school
• Here's her Twitter page

All her friends from home have been commenting saying she's a really awesome person, and if you can tell by a smile and Ke$ha Halloween costume, I'd say I agree. I'm excited for her!

Also, meet Ashley Kelsey.

• 24 years old
• From Winsted, CT
• Graduated from UConn with a business major
• Trying to get into the model business [which shouldn't be too hard after this]
• Here's her Twitter
• Here's a video of her trying out for America's Next Top Model
• Here's more of her modeling pictures

She's flipping BEAUTIFUL... and she has the "girl next door" type of beautiful about her, plus seems pretty likable in that video. I can't hate, that's for sure, and I know the boys definitely won't.

There have been some other cast sightings that I will put up in a separate post. I'm just here doing all I can to keep y'all in the loop without having to search through millions of posts like I do to get the info to ya! [And, duh, I kinda miss my stalking days.]

Let me know what ya think about these two ladays!

love,

elizabethany
