The Official Real World - Las Vegas (Mark II) thread - starts 3/9/2011

If any still cares, the new Real World starts tonight. It's the 2nd (well, actually 3rd if you count the mini Vegas reunion) season to be set in Sin City.

Here's the people you'll be watching on a future Challenge:

Spoiler:


AME: Adam
AGE: 22
HOMETOWN: Portland, ME
BACKSTORY: At 16 years old, Adam got caught in a drug robbery and as a result, spent the next three years in a juvenile detention center. While there, he took control of his life, enrolled in college courses and eventually graduated from the University of Southern Maine.
PREDICTION: This bad boy on the mend will be forced to tell his roommates about his mischievous past. It'll create some tension and make everyone question his motives and integrity.



NAME: Dustin
AGE: 24
HOMETOWN: Rayne, LA
BACKSTORY: From the outside, this guy's Southern charm makes him seem like sweetheart, but Dustin's holding on to a huge secret. After high school, he was featured on a website that gave an uncensored look at a house full of of attractive guys (think: a clothing-optional version of "Real World"...with no females in sight).
PREDICTION: All the girls in the house will fall for his flirty smile (and he'll probably hook up with some of them). But after hiding his past from everyone, they'll discover it on their own and confront him.



NAME: Heather
AGE: 21
HOMETOWN: Delran, NJ
BACKSTORY: This pint-size East Coast gal started drinking as a youngster, and at 14 years old she was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning. She's since gotten back on track and has dreams of becoming a talk show host.
PREDICTION: People will assume that she's a simple-minded, wide-eyed Jersey girl, but her confidence will set them straight and everyone will learn that they can't push her around.



NAME: Leroy
AGE: 25
HOMETOWN: Detroit, MI
BACKSTORY: Raised by foster parents, Leroy was forced to place school on the back burner in order to become financially self-sufficient.
PREDICTION: Free from his work-related responsibilities, Leroy will let loose in Las Vegas and finally experience the freedom he never had.



NAME: Michael
AGE: 23
HOMETOWN: College Park, MD
BACKSTORY: This small-town boy is definitely the Goody Two-shoes of the house, but that might have something to do with his troubled past. His parents were drug users and spent time in jail, forcing him to grow up fast and play head of household to his seven siblings.
PREDICTION: It'll take a while for Michael to break out of his shell, but once he does, he'll get completely out of control and have to make a big decision about which road to go down.



NAME: Nany
AGE: 21
HOMETOWN: Jamestown, NY
BACKSTORY: This hometown hottie was a dancer for a semi-pro hockey team, but she definitely didn't have the prototypical cheerleader upbringing. Never having met her father--he was jailed on drug charges before she was born--Nany's entrenched herself in a serious six-year relationship to fill the void.
PREDICTION: She'll discover what it's like to live away from her boyfriend and question whether or not she should stick with the guy she knows or explore what Sin City dating has to offer.



NAME: Naomi
AGE: 22
HOMETOWN: Bronx, NY
BACKSTORY: This sexy spitfire hails from a drug-infested community, but she's a focused and determined person who wants to one day work as a television reporter.
PREDICTION: She'll position herself as the mother hen of the house--possibly with the help of Michael--and try to keep everyone in line.

The nerdy kid brings back 2 girls to the room. Sits them on the bed, reads them a poem (or whatever it was), tried to score, got turned down then tells one of the roommates "i didnt even want to sleep with them" lol.

Can anyone picture all the sex that happens on these new Real World seasons happening in the 1-4 seasons of the show? people have become such whores.

That whole sequence was cringe inducing.

Not impressed by the eye candy this year. Everyone seems pretty boring. That Dustin guy who freaked because Mike kissed Heather during truth or dare needs a kick in the balls.

It just boils down to casting. How hard is to cast a few hotties and some crazy people?

That's all they ever cast. The real question is:

After 20 years on the air, how can they keep finding people to go on the show, do incredibly dumb things caught on camera, and then have the balls to actually act ashamed of such acts later when they've all been watching the show for years, know how it all works, and if they seriously didn't want to act that way, would go out of their way not to?

In the meantime, last night's idiot line of the year had to be "When she finds out I've got a juvy record, I know I'm gonna hook up with her."

Seriously? I know girls constantly have a thing for the bad boys but are you that stupid?

I just watched one episode of this. This guy Dustin is hilarious

Getting way mad over Truth or Dare. Also sounding way "hood" when he was angry and then speaking normally in the confession. So funny

No kidding. Is it more correctly spelled "poser" or "poseur?"

These people are idiots. Does anyone think Adam was really the biggest drug dealer like he was saying? Plus he was right. A few episodes ago he said as soon as Nany found out he was in juvy she would be all over him. Preview for next week shows them having sex lol.

No, he was probably just a junkie and now wants to make it sound like he was a big shot.

Let's remember that Adam's from Maine. So maybe a bag of pot is really a huge deal.

I watched the first episode because I just had a feeling there would be something worth seeing. Of course I decided to watch to see how long until the "rightous" one would be overcome by the sins of the city. 35 minutes into the first episode and we get the 2 chicks 1 bible session.

I just can't stop watching now.

The 2 chick and bible thing was the best. All the guys are like oh shit he is a player and then all of a sudden he has them in the room reading religious poetry to them lol The camera system they are using for this show is weird now too. They make it look like a movie almost.

I noticed this as well. It looks like "The Hills" now. Dont know why they would want to go that route.

Yeah, it would seem they're filming it now and not video taping it. I don't like it at all.

Well it shows her getting into the bed with him. We don't know for sure they're going to have sex yet.

Spooning without sex is a constant on this show. That could be all it turns out to be.

This guy Adam is a douche. I'd love to see the black dude kick his ass. I'd be impressed with Nany if she ends up not hooking up with Adam. Seems EVERY girl that goes onto the show with a boyfriend ends up cheating.

Odds are they planned on doing it ahead of time anyway. I swear sometimes the only reason people go on this show is for the money they know they can make from speaking tours/Challenges.

It's why I love Adam (from RW Paris)'s T-shirt one year on the Challenge:

I've been on TV, people know who I am, and yet I can't get a job.

You think its because no one goes on RW hoping to get a job in the real world after? You all think you're going to hit it big in Hollywood.

I used to wonder why most of the cast members of the first 4 seasons of RW preferred to fade into obscurity and not call back MTV when they came looking for them.

I don't anymore. They're the smart ones.

I'm disappointed that at least one or two of the RW girls from past seasons haven't made the leap to porn or at the very least "leaked" a sex tape. I thought that skank from Denver was a lock to go into porn.

Hopefully TJ Lavin is close to recovering and The next challenge show will follow right after this season is done.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. I said the same thing to some friends when watching an episode and they had no clue what I was talking about.

And there's no way in hell I believe Adam's story either. I'm sure he's a loser with drug problems though. Didn't he say he majored in criminal justice or criminology? Wonder what he wants to do with that since no law enforcement agency would touch someone with his supposed past. Just watching one episode of him on Real World would be more than enough to not hire him.
