Where Beer Does Flow And Men Chunder!! MTV Launches THE REAL WORLD SYDNEY!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Some notes on “The Real World Sydney,” launching tonight with a casting special:
* According to this piece in the New York Daily News, this 19th edition of the series is the first to feature a Muslim cast member. So I guess this means Mohammad from season three wasn’t a Muslim.
* The Sydney season’s Muslim, the gorgeous Parisa Montazaran, doesn’t always wear a berqa and, according to the same Daily News story, is one of those Muslims who (unlike “Big Brother” alum Kaysar Ridha) likes to get hammered on occasion.
* The Sydney cast is a rare one for the series in that it apparently features neither a black nor a homosexual. There’s a guy named Isaac from Ohio, so hopefully the show won’t be entirely Jew-free.
* While 1995’s “Real World London” featured two Britishers (and a German) among its seven-member cast, “The Real World Sydney” cast is comprised entirely of Americans.
* Ages range from 19 to 24. The almost-youngest is redhead KellyAnne from Austin, Texas.
* The Sydney season is not the one for which the cast was chosen by viewers. That’s the 20th season, which begins filming Aug. 26. The 20th season is rumored to be set, like the second season, here in Los Angeles.
Meet the entire Sydney cast here.

What the hell happened to VH1?
-
As well all remember YOKO is code for his right hand
-
Look how young and pretty we are. And the women are, too.Ugh...
-
What MTV wants the Real World to be. You know... made up of worthless self-centered drunken WASPs.
-
...because they still have the occasional good show. All those "I love the 70's, 80's..." shows are good, "Best Week Ever" is consistenly hilarious, and even the "World Series of Pop Trivia" is worth a watch. MTV on the other hand has squat. Okay, I do get a kick out of "Pimp My Ride" now and again, but I see that on MTV2 so it doesn't count.
Has anyone heard of the new trash TV show on BET "We Got To Do Better"? I've heard *interesting* things... -
The majority of VH1's shows seem to be the 70s and 80s shows along with lists, Top Ten Celebrity Colonoscopies, etc, etc. These shows are nothing but some narration over red carpet footage, still photographs and any video clips cheap enough for the network to pay for. Then add a couple of barely-successful comedians to insert sarcastic, "ironic" comments. Virtually no actual content.The rest of their shows have the new theme: "Exploit has-been celebrities' chronic need for any attention whatsoever, while mocking them at the same time." MTV may actually show more music videos than VH1 now, and that's saying something!
-
Seriously....my 13 year old niece is the only person I know in the entire world who gives a crap about anything on MTV anymore. What the hell is it doing being covered on this so called 'cool' site??????
-
Which chick is going to be off her meds in this one? This show is up there with homeless boxing on the exploitation chart. I'd kind of like to see them just pick random names out of the phonebook so that we'd get a little less of that. But then I suppose that most 20-somethings aren't listed. I hate this show, but I watch it anyway because nothing is a greater motivator for me to plan carefully for retirement than to see the devil-spawn that's rising through the ranks to destroy what little we have left.
-
Getyour niece's parents to block that damn channel. Like they used to say about rock n' roll back in the day, MTV is the devil's channel!
-
Seriously, any of you watching this should be ashamed of yourselves (unless you're 13, and female). This is "cool" news?

No, not even 13 year old girls watch the Real World....
by angry mean panda
MTV's ratings are in the shitter. To the point that there was talk last year of shutting down MTV2 altogether. Instead Viacom ended up cutting a bunch of jobs with no notice. The point is, it's not the pop culture phenomenon it used to be, it's just another cable channel, and their once solid demographic of teenage viewers has all but completely abandoned the channel. So, from a "who gives a shit?" standpoint, this news is as meaningul as announcing what episode of Stark Trek: TNG will rerun on Spike TV this weekend.
-
I can't believe anyone cares. They're not even driving trucks on a dangerous ice road!
-
* Ages range from 20 to 24. The youngest is redhead KellyAnne from Austin, Texas. --- excellent research. Never mind the 19 year old Trisha from Fresno.
-
Give us some love for stuff that actually is cool
-
who cares. ser-i-ous-ly.
-
. . . the oft-promised but never-produced Real World Detroit? Now that would make things interesting.
To quote Tina Fey, "MTV announced this week that the next season of The Real World will be shot in Detroit, as will several cast members." -
Let's just be clear about that.
-
Now I'm going to be humming that Men at Work song for the rest of the day. They just need to get it over with, and just start showing hardcore videos of the sex going on in the house. That'd probably get me to stop if I was flipping past it.
-
Not sure why people continue to be surprised when MTV does something sucky.
-
he can actually remember the names of cast members from season three.
-
Let's see what secrets are revealed! One guy's actually gay and doesn't know it! One of the ladies wakes up with a bit of black in her after a night of partying! Will she indeed want to 'go back?' FIND OUT... on the Real World. Or go back to jackin' it and Tivo-hopping.
-
Screw that then, the gay guy on last season was the best (or worst, depending on how you look at it) part of the show. It's a well know fact that the gays make the best drama, I'm surprised MTV didnt cast one.
-
"neither a black nor a homosexual" Oh brother, a bunch of drunken WASPS with a token Muslim girl thrown in to teach them about all Muslims in the world. Count me out.
-
Sigh.....
-
I remember the good old days like the 91/92 MTV Video awards....nirvana, pearl jam, U2...good times
-
Aeon Flux, The Maxx, Sifl and Olly, Beavis and Butthead, hell even Dharia was funny at times. As I recall the last Real World I ever kept up with was Real World 2..I was 15 at the time. At least back then it didn't seem nearly as phony and scripted as it is now. Reality TV is dead, stop beating the horse already.
-
Hercules IS a 13 year old girl. The rumors are true.
Gilmore Girls?
Buffy?
THIS!
Hello! -
I don't even give half of that.
-
theres a dude in the cast named Dunbar. what the fuck
