“We’re giving these city slickers one bed, an intermittently functioning sink, and a variety of ‘colorful’ drop-in guests from the neighborhood,” said Real World producer Mary-Alice Bunim. “Longevity bets at MTV have the over-under for the entire house at about four days – and I’m giving good odds that Clemens will be out in only two.”

The formerly standard Real World array of plasma TV’s, well-stocked bars, overflowing hot tubs and wild décor have been abandoned in deference to the location. Upon arrival at the one-room shack, the new roommates instead found a seriously ghetto 70’s era Zenith TV set with foil-covered rabbit ears, a half-empty bottle of “Old Bloodhound,” the local whiskey of choice, an aromatic outhouse, and a redneck housekeeper named “Sonny” sleeping in the one and only bed.

We just hope there will be a special appearance by that methed-out tweaker Puck from the last time Bunim-Murray were in San Francisco. In other news, Dave Eggers has just been given a six-figure advance for his latest novel, a tell-all memoir about getting turned down by The Real World again.
