The Real World: Washington D.C. Will Not Be As Meaningful As The Press Release Suggests
Whoa. The Real World: Cancun hasn't even premiered yet and MTV is already gearing up for next season, in our nation's capital. Doesn't this Disaster Factory ever take a break? Nope. From a press release:
The series transitions its 23rd season to a different lifestyle as "The Real World" will begin production in Washington D. C. in the summer of 2009 and is slated to premiere in 2010. In the upcoming season, eight young adults will experience life in the nation's capital as they live and pursue their passions in the city that many of our country's most influential figures call home."Young people have never been more engaged in what's happening in this country and Washington, D.C., is the perfect place for The Real World' cast to express their opinions and pursue their passions," said Jonathan Murray, the creator and Executive Producer of "The Real World."
"In a time when our country has witnessed the impact and spirit of our nation's young people, it is a pleasure to welcome MTV and The Real World' cast to the District of Columbia as they utilize the immense opportunities that the District's backdrop will undoubtedly provide," said Adrian M. Fenty, Mayor of Washington D.C.
Haha, right. Express their opinions that people need to clean up after themselves more, and pursue their passions of drunken fucking/fighting. CHANGE WE CAN BARFLIEVE IN. Look, it's fine to have the Real World in Washington D.C. Those booze-soaked children need to pass out in a windowless compound filled with tacky kitsch decorations and studio lights somewhere. But don't act like this is the greatest thing to happen to American democracy since the 19th Amendment. It's just a bunch of babies taking showers together and exploring the effect that each of us can have, individually, on a half gallon of well liquor.

the press release makes it sound like they're all going to get jobs as lobbyists or something.
i've never watched the real world, but it does it really matter what city they're in? doesn't the locale just determine what kind of hard liquor they drink and whether it's so cold that the women have to wear coats that go down past their skirts on their way to bars?
Score = 7
yup, you're pretty much right.

23 seasons?! I am an old, old man...

My buddy lives around the corner from the house, so we're wondering how much of an effect this is actually going to have on the neighborhood (there's already one bar around the corner from my place that's cited as a definite maybe shooting location for one cast member's story).
DC's definitely turning into an epicenter of bad/good/*sigh* bad reality TV though with its own Real House Wives franchise on the way, and CW's Blonde Charity Mafia this fall.

Sucks for him, but I'm glad they chose Dupont as opposed to places I actually hang.

PLEASE please let them get jobs as lobbyists . . . that would be AMAZING.

I bet Bill Clinton is all "Drunken Fat Bitches in Town, Hell Yeah" right now

I can only assume that, since this will be a Serious Real World, Meghan McCain will be on it.
Score = 2
i've never watched more than a handful of Real World episodes...but if this turns into "Dunken Sexfest with Political Talking Points" i will watch every episdoe. it could be the funniest show of all time.
"EPISODE 2: a drunken argument about Roe v. Wade results in a late night hook-up!"
Score = 3
Apparently the house is going to be right behind my stepbrothers apartment building. I'm not sure if this makes me want to visit him more or less. I hope they don't start hanging out on U street.
Score = 1
I meant this in a I don't want video cameras all around the place way not in the I hate the Real World kind of way. Now I kind of wish I could delete that last part.

i'm surprised mtv didn't learn their "let's cast smart but unattractive people" lesson with the brooklyn season...they should just set this show up permanently in vegas and provide unlimited quantities of free booze. that would be worth watching.
Score = -1
In order for MTV to have learned a lesson about casting smart people, they would have had to try it. Being a walking Tyra Banks Show episode topic does not render someone intelligent.

When I was in 8th grade (Seattle season) my life goal was to be on the Real World (I was ambitious). Now I'm just annoyed these sure-to-be-fucktards are living a few blocks from me.

Best Real World ever.
