Emily Schromm, 21, seemed pretty happy-go-lucky when I met her. She certainly didn't hint at the fact that she "was raised in a fundamentalist Christian cult," according to MTV press materials. (Don't worry: She broke free, and as "an athletic tomboy, Emily used sports as a way to ease her entry into a more secular [...]
Meet Mike Manning, 22, from Thornton Colorado. He got on the show after his friend invited him to lunch, plus a Real World audition on some random Saturday. "He said, 'Do you want to audition for Real World with me?' And I said 'uh, yeah, okay.' I hadn't planned this out, I hadn't picked the [...]
Ashley Lindley at a concert in late September.
So, as previously mentioned, MTV invited a group of journalists into the Real World DC house back in early October. We met the cast members and saw the presidentially-themed bedrooms, love sacks, and the confessional. One cast member even toured me over to the awning-covered jacuzzi area, right next [...]
On Wednesday morning, I took off for a little fall break trip to New Haven and New York City. Since that time, I've learned two crucial things. First and foremost: Amtrak still has NOT widely installed wireless capabilities on its trains. Not the Northeast Regional train. Not the Acela. If you google "Amtrak" and [...]
When news broke last week that the Real World DC was done shooting, an obvious question arose: "Now what happens to the house?!"*
Well, whatever it is—it won't involve MTV. The network's lease is up on Thanksgiving and it has no intention of extending the contract or buying the Dupont Circle property, according to spokesperson Tamika [...]
Sorry, today's packed schedule did not allow for any blogging. But I did update the Real World Stalker Stalker page a few times. Here's the latest:
This Sunday, Halo is marking its five year anniversary with a party hosted by JD Ordonez, a cast member from the Real World Brooklyn. So what if you never watched [...]
This Saturday, tweeters went crazy when the "Real World" cast showed up at a D.C. United game.
But apparently, the big drama of the night had passed by then. See, D.C. United's match wasn't the first one that evening. Women's soccer team, the Washington Freedom, played earlier in a double-header at RFK Stadium.
During that initial game, [...]
Remember that video of the MTV camera operator that blocked local reporter Lindsey Mastis as she tried to interview Real World DC fans?
Well, now we know his name, "Ryan Romkema". And we also know that he came to his senses and decided to apologize, or at least heeded the advice of someone who urged him [...]
After a day of false alarms, it appears the Real World DC cast has actually moved in.
One thing is for sure: Some people have gotten to enter the mysterious Real World house at 20th and S Streets NW. And they've also been outside in Dupont in bathrobes. So they're either really persuasive stand-ins, or [...]
The DC Real World house last night: Looks wild, huh?
Yesterday, Twitter flooded with reports on Real World DC spottings, and some pictures of the suspected housemates even surfaced.
But what does that all mean REALLY?
