I admit I am a huge fan of the Real World, and I was before I purchased this book, but that's kinda irrelevant, 'cause I would have turned into a huge fan after reading this book anyway. If you like The Real World, you totally need this. It's got awesome gossip, photos, and plenty of Melissa (she's so cute!). Melissa, if you're reading this, that's cool. Me and my friends think you rock! Umm...what else...oh yeah, the writing is very funny and the stuff they got the cast members to say will crack you up. I strongly recommend this. Okay, bye.

This collection of behind-the-scenes capers provides Real World fans even more of their favorite vicarious thrills, watching the residents of the Big Easy's Belfort House flirt, fight, and have fun. Mostly fun. Lots of it. In after-show interviews that seem designed to encourage dirt dishing, Julie, Matt, Kelley, Danny, David, Melissa, and Jamie spend most of their time laughing at themselves--and luckily, the laughter is infectious. Hidden-camera footage and crew bloopers show the cast members at their most hilarious, proving they're not only smart enough to see through the show's manipulation of reality, but smart enough to have fun with it. Just like real life, much of the accidental humor centers around bodily functions and frustrated sex drives, and some viewers might be turned off by the spy-cam montage of nose picking, or the mindlessly drunk Mardi Gras antics of the Belfort crew. But this show is really saved by characters who are just that--characters. Melissa's hysterical impressions of her own parents (who show up in person later) might be worth the price of the video alone. --Grant Balfour

Review:

This is the true story of seven people picked to live in a mansion in New Orleans, find out what happens when people stop being polite, and start being … CD producers?
The cast members of the new Real World, this time set in show-us-your-boobs New Orleans, have reached into their mental jukeboxes to come up with some of their most beloved songs for inclusion on The Real World soundtrack. This season's housemates -- Danny, Matt, Julie, Melissa, Jamie, and Kelley (what, no David?) -- picked the tracks and added liner-note quotes. It's like a collection of two-song mixed tapes from your favorite MTV-styled exhibitionists.

Julie, everyone's darling, blonde Mormon, chose Collective Soul's "When the Water Falls" for one of her songs. Julie says, "I like this song because it talks about innocence and searching for knowledge, and that's important for me." It's classic Julie style.

Danny, a boy so pleasing to the eyes that he appeals to both sexes, appropriately chose Garbage's "You Look So Fine." He's also responsible for the inclusion of Toad the Wet Sprocket's "All I Want."

Indie-pop found its way to the Big Easy, thanks to Melissa. She chose Promise Ring's "Deep South" and the Get Up Kids' "Red Letter Day." She notes that the Kids' song is egocentric, adding that, "I'm always me-focused. I firmly believe in me-ology." Thank you, Me-lissa.

At least Melissa chose songs that were somewhat below the radar. Kelley reached far into her musical bag, and all she could come up with was Paul Simon. Her choice was obvious -- "The Obvious Child."

Rich kid Jamie is the only real surprise here. His choices included Peter Tosh's "Glass House," and "Little Blue One" by Cowboy Mouth, a budding New Orleans band. Virgin B-boy Matt adds "Want Ad" by Mxpx. He says it's "Real catchy, real quick." It's a sentiment that suitably reflects both this soundtrack and the Real World New Orleans

On June 19, MTV will air a special 10-year-anniversary tribute to "The Real World." It will include interviews with past cast members and celebrity fans of the show, (including yours truly), along with special moments from this groundbreaking television experience. In light of the current saturation of reality TV, we forget that "The Real World" was the granddaddy of them all.

It discussed real issues that much of society only discussed behind closed doors: AIDS, race, gender, class, alcoholism, religion, abortion and most of all, sexuality. Every year, from its inception, "The Real World" had at least one gay, lesbian or bisexual member in the cast.

Hopefully you'll stop by and read this before it scrolls off, but I just noticed that you were posting on the board and I wanted to respond. Yes, you are the guy I was referring to in that interview about a guy who was openly gay in highschool. I'm extremely glad you've found happiness in life and I wish you the best. Moving on from the past is the best. And one more thing Russ, get the story straight...we never held hands...more like, you tried to hold my hand. It was very obvious to me even back then that you wanted more than to be friends and I was not down with that back then. But again, i just want to say how happy I am for you that you've found your place in the world and wish you the best.
Much Love,
Danny
