Hey check THIS out. Tryouts for MTV's Real World are nigh. You guys have until Monday, May 7th to see if you'll be the next to fill the shoes of Pedro, Puck, or Judd . . . and subsequently appear on all sorts of weird competitions where you fight people from other MTV shows.
Ah, memories of that awesome third season, when it was here. Gosh, was that really 13 years ago that Pam met Judd? That Puck put his "snot rockets" in Pedro's peanut butter? That someone called "Jo" showed up to replace Puck mid-season? That Mohammed used incense to "cleanse the bad vibes" away when Puck left? And why the hell do we remember all this?
We haven't watched the show regularly since, only catching an episode here and there, but somehow we doubt a new version can live up to the lightning-in-a-bottle that was season three: the unique combination of the Pedro's poingnant struggle and activism with the high comedy of Puck's over-the-top persona and poor hygiene . . .
Then again, if anyone can be as compelling a reality TV star as Pedro or Puck, we'd place money that it'd be one of our SFist commenters. Yes, Anonymous, I'm talking to you.
writer's note: edited from previous version due to severe lack of reading comprehension--the host city isn't specified.

The 20th season of the Real World will NOT be in San Francisco rather if you live in the San Fran area you can request a personal casting interview with a director from Bunim-Murray Productions.
This is taking place in 8 cities nationwide as first notified in this MM Agency Real World 20 Post
I would watch this if it were: three gay guys, three lesbians, and one Marina Girl. With occasional weekend "sleepovers" by Ted Haggard, Violet Blue, and Ann Coulter.
It won't be me. Maybe one of the other anons.
But when they start filming, SFist sure as hell better be keeping the population informed on their every move.
Back when that SF season aired, the Real World used to be interesting. The crew were actually trying to do things like start careers, find love, find themselves, or in the case of that dude Pedro, save the world. Now the show's basically "Girls Gone Wild". Gah, I'm old.
