where are they now?: the first seasons of mtv's real world!

Looking back, the casts of Real World have changed quite a bit... and I don't just mean by growing older. BUT... that's what we're here to look at right now. How they've aged and what they're doing with their lives [assuming they didn't ruin it on MTV].

The first New York and New Orleans seasons, San Francisco, Los Angeles.... we're going way back here.

Amaya from Hawaii, who looks completely different, is now a coach for aspiring TV hosts. I need to holler at her.

Dan from Miami got arrested for masturbating in a theater, and now has an online blog. The tux is just a look.

Jon from Los Angeles is now a pastor in Florida.

Eric from New York- Just turned 41! And has been on all sorts of shows. 

David from Seattle has the title "Vice President of Promotional Revenue." Okay, big shot!

Genesis from Boston is running her own graphic design business in Cali.

Danny from New Orleans is still cute, and that's all that matters. Well, and I wish he became straight.

Jacinda from London was in a couple movies like Bridget Jones and Poseidon!

Irene from Seattle actually tweeted me the other day! She's doing a podcast/blog called "No One's Listening" and wants all the ladies to not shave in December, since guys don't in November.

Jason from Boston has his own casting company.

Judd from San Francisco married his costar Pam, has two kids, and now works for DC Comics!

Leah from Paris looks the exact same, but has a kid these days.

Kelly from New Orleans married Scott Wolf! And have two kids! They probably made great babies.

We all know what Mike the Miz is up to... I just wanted to post this ridiculous picture.

Kevin from New York- has published TEN books and ran for Congress three times.

Montana from Boston looks the exact same and is an acupuncturist.

Matt from New Orleans, another online blogger with a wife and kids.

Norman from New York... an independent film producer

Nathan from Seattle, who apparently hasn't been seen/found since 2008.

Rachel from San Francisco and Sean from Boston [below] got married and have SIX freaking kids. Hi full hands.

Puck from San Francisco- he's been arrested and on TMZ a lot.

Randy from San Diego is now a DJ in Massachusetts... and hopefully doesn't always look that douchey.

Teck from Hawaii was apparently in Van Wilder, Lincoln Heights, and NCIS. I woulda never recognized him.

Tami from Los Angeles- You may recognize her from Basketball Wives, too.

Kat from London is a TV producer and actress, but not any major titles. 

Neil from London is still in England, as a researcher. 

Melissa from New Orleans, also an internet blogger and has a baby.

Sharon from London is a film composer and singer/songwriter.

And [creepy] Lars from London is now a DJ in NYC!

So I guess you can do something with your life beyond more reality shows and jail time after being on the Real World! Or... you can run a blog... or have a really normal life with a bunch of kids.

Also, can I just point out that way back in the day, they weren't focused on picking the hottest/most perfect roommates?! Can we get some more of that without a ton of haterate, or is that too much to ask of 2013?

If you wanna find out about more Real Worlders [a lot who have been seen on recent Challenges], head over to toofab or NY Daily News.

exclusive interview: frank sweeney rages through real world san diego

It's time for another Beyond the Real World Cameras podcast! Frank has been one of the most fun, but also one of the most controversial people on the show this season. We've seen him deal with drinking and anger issues, coming out of his shell a little and dealing with Zach and Ashley's discrimination, and last week's break up with Michael.

I talked to him about all of these issues, and asked him who he'd bang, kill, and marry [of course], but also find out which girl he's waiting on so he can be with her, which roommate rips out their fingernails, and his one regret in the house. Also: apparently some people have really changed after filming!

the real world san diego drinking game

I decided during last week's chat that a drinking game is necessary for the Real World. So, starting tonight, grab your friends [online friends in a chatroom totally count] and drinks, and be ready to get drunk!

Every time...

• Sam tricks a girl into thinking she's a boy, DRINK
• they show Ashley's butt, DRINK
• the fact that Priscilla is underage is mentioned, DRINK
• Frank hits on Alexandra, DRINK
  
• Alexandra mentions her boyfriend, DRINK
• Zach looks, acts, or says something narcissistic, DRINK
  
• roommates shower together, DRINK
  
• a roommate gets punched, TAKE A SHOT
• roommates make-out, CHUG
• a roommate punches someone else, CHEERS!
• anyone suggests Ashley and Zach are perfect for each other, BARF, then rally and CHUG

I'm sure this will be edited throughout the weeks. Added to, of course. If you have any ideas, leave em in the comments or tweet them to me and we'll make it happen!

The object of any drinking game is to get drunk, after all.

catching up with real world san diego spottings: there are lots of elizabethany-alikes

As far as how the locals are treating the filming of Real World San Diego, everything's looking pretty familiar. It's a lot like DC. Stalkers everywhere. Neighbors hating. And even a crazy blonde chic who keeps going to find them outside the house.

No, really. There's an EB-alike [or wannabe, depending on if you're a B or not] who's been making these videos of her going outside the house and then commenting on it.



Half of me is kinda obsessed with the fact that there's someone out there doing what I did, the other half has no comment. :) I'll leave that to you all.

Other stalkers have gotten some other good video of the cast, though. Here's another one of them at the Bird Rock Coffee Roasters:



Looks like someone found some boyfriend material, and then the ever-so-exciting coffee talk outside with all of the roommates! Weee.
[Side note: Apparently the Asian girl is only 19! I enjoy the idea of the stories she'll bring.]

And here they are inside Hodad's, sitting at a table, trying to avoid the papz.




They made the same reaction the DC'ers did- covering their face, looking pissed off, stopping their conversation. Looking back, I realize how obnoxious I was, but let's be real- they don't need to be all dramatic about it.

As for story lines... doesn't look like they have figured much out. Sightings have been pretty lame. There are a TON of tweets out there from strangers saying they hung out, signed waivers, made out, etc with the cast... but who knows what's real or worthy of anything.

I'll continue to keep ya updated on what I find on Vevmo/Twitter! If you know anything and want to share, you know how to get in touch with me.

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,

the next season of the real world is back to san diego!

It's about that time kids! Real World: Las Vegas is wrapping up, the next Challenge is right around the corner, so it's only right we have strangers moving into a house together to get Real sometime within the next week or so.

Location: San Diego!

Apparently they've run out of places considering we've had three back-to-___ seasons in a row, but I can't even complain after looking at this house. It's unreal.

For all my fellow stalkers, if you happen to be in Cali, here's the address: 5212 Chelsea St.

They've already started hooking up the outdoor cameras and renovating, but who even cares about that? Just look at the house that is costing them $15,000 A MONTH in mortgage.

See the cameras?! It's about that time!


It was thanks to the movers that we have these deets!


The view


San Diego residents- be lookin' out for these vans all summer!



Bringin' back the pool aspect!



BEAUTIFUL front door/porch area.


Oh, just a tennis court on the roof... NBD.


Doubtful that this will be the furniture, but ya never know.


And I thought the DC house looked beautiful all lit up.......


Perfect for shooting and tons of cameras.

This place is UN.REAL!!! Wow. If any of the roommates who are moving in happen to stumble across this here blog before moving in- please know you are some lucky b-words. My jaw is literally on my desk right now.

As usual, I'll keep you up to date on all the roommates and their arrivals and identities with the help of molds at Vevmo! I can't wait to see what beach babes we'll get to stare at next season!

love,
elizabethany
