First Glimpse of the Next “Real World” House

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

“Real World” season 20, as we’ve known for some time, is set in LA. Hollywood, to be more exact. If you click here, you can read a post that I wrote a few weeks ago detailing everything we know so far about the season. Here’s a snippet:

  • The house will be “green,” meaning that it will be environmentally friendly. “The house will utilize solar energy and feature recycled glass counters, “sustainable” furniture and energy-efficient lighting.”
  • One of the cast members, “PretyBoy,” was selected by the online voting system earlier this year.
  • The house is located in downtown LA, just a short distance from major bars and clubs.
  • Producers looked for cast members that had strong ambitions. This will somehow tie into the show’s storyline, but we’re unsure as to how.
  • This is the last guaranteed season of “The Real World.” MTV renewed show up to this season, but no further, so its continued existence is up in the air.

But now we have a picture!! Read on!

A little while back, there were rumblings about a “Laguna Beach” type show set in Brooklyn. There would be all the same drama, all the same fights, and all the same cliques, but the… socio-economic conditions (read: money and ethnicity) would be decidedly different.

It has arrived. Read more!

That acronym means “America’s Funniest (Home) Videos,” folks. Now that that’s taken care of, let’s dive right in.

We know that TRL has been inching towards death–a few months ago MTV announced that “live” shows would be taped twice a week–but it seems something is in the works to spice up the drab program…

Funny videos! (WTF?)

The story says that “Interim Principal Jan Watson said Thursday that a producer notified her that MTV wasn’t coming, but she did not know why.”
