Real World Chicago
 

I am a little late on this, but I heard that the "Real World" Chicago started filming last Friday. Has anyone in the area seen the house or run into the cast yet? (I'm guessing it would be pretty easy to guess who they are by the numerous cameras around them.)

I haven't been near the house or seen the cast yet - but I know i'll get around to it. The Chicago season has already been having it's share of controversy. My sister lives right around the area (Wicker Park area) and recently there was a murder by the house in which the security guards who stand gurd at the entrance were summoned by someone who found a dead body in a car. No one from the house was involved - but the exact location of the house was given out to the public - so if youre familiar with the area (as i am) it is a piece of cake to find!
Check out this story - Real World Chicago is going to be very interesting - not just becuase i'm from Chicago, but b/c of all this hoopla surrounding it!

Well it is about time the real world was filmed in the midwest http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Is anyone watching Road Rules 10? I loooove it! I saw the first episode and I was hooked, it's so good! Ellen's my favorite cause she's the most like me...she has all my clothes too...hahaha!

I'll second that Ex Greek. I thought they should have done Chicago before they went back to NY...to kinda give it the all-over-America appeal. Oh well. I'm glad it's closer to home.

Sorry for being off topic but...another question for anyone who watched Real World Hawaii...Wasn't Amaya in a sorority? Which one was that? I can't remember! That was the only other Real World I've ever watched. I met Colin & got his autograph, he was doing a book signing thing at my high school. He's a lot smaller in person. Hehehe.

Amaya is a KKG from UCLA.

I don't know how I feel about this season. I think now, more than ever, people see this no longer as a springboard to an entertainment career, but to hook-ups. That Ellen seems so desperate, it's embarassing to watch her on TV. I thought Kevin has made it pretty clear that he has no romantic interest in her. Coral seems like she won't give Mike a chance...but he annoys me too. The other ones seem okay. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hell yes - I keep writing them about The Real World: Des Moines . . . I'm still working on it, they can use my place if they want. But yeah - definitely didn't really need to go back to New York so soon

<<That Ellen seems so desperate, it's embarassing to watch her on TV. I thought Kevin has made it pretty clear that he has no romantic interest in her. >>

Lori! Not Ellen! Ellen's the cool Road Rules girl....Lori's the Catherine Zeta-Jones lookalike who's lusting after Kevin. Hehehehehe. I like Rachel, she seems the most normal of the girls. I like Mike too, he's cute!

Well, I'm happy that y'all are happy that the RW will be in Chicago...just don't end up being a RW groupie like I was when they were here.

But, to be honest, I don't know if I can take anymore RWs/RRs after this season.

Have y'all noticed that Road Rules appears to be sponsored by American Eagle Outfitters? All the kids are decked out in their clothes. Cheesy, but it's probably easier than when they had to gray out other name brand labels who weren't sponsoring the show. So called "reality" television. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

KSig - I second that Real World: Des Moines... or maybe a Real World: Iowa City http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Nah, it would never come to this small metro area http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Well, one of my best buddies just got a job in Chicago this summer, after graduation, and I'm going to spend a weekend with him in August. The apartment or whatever that he's planning on getting is in the same 'hood as the Real World is evidently being taped. We're gonna see if we can't meet up with some of the cast. It shouldn't be to hard to figure out which ones are them http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

why hasn't there been a Real World - Detroit yet??? I'm sure the numerous Michigan people on this board will agree with me.

hahaha - yeah, here's the scene: Camaras follow KSig RC out of the Airliner, across the ped mall, and witness him 'falling asleep' on the steps of the Old Capital . . . wakes up in morning, grabs taco in the mall, and goes home. Repeat, for 16 episodes, perhaps changing to other bars to start with.

No way. Where would they film it at? Not a very appealing city for ashow like this. Sorry to offend anyone but it is kind of a drab town with not much in it. Sure it is plenty big enough but not much to do there.

There are just as many beautiful parts of Detroit as there are ghetto-looking parts. They could always do Real World - Ann Arbor, but it's not as known a city as Detroit.

KSig and IowaHawkeye-
Yeah, keep dreaming, Real World-Iowa City! I agree, it would be a repeat of the same scene. They will never get close to experiencing the wonderful "Field of Dreams" we live in! However, can you see all the Real Worlders working at a Hog confinment or an elevator, rather than a big TV station or record company?? I think THAT would be a true RW experience!
Keep up the hunt for RW - Iowa!

Here we go Hawkeyes, here we go!!!!

Puulleeeasee not much to do there? Let them come to Detroit..Then that ish will be REAL. Let them live in a house on the East side and see how long they last.lololol. Oh they will be plenty busy just trying to survive. MTV is too scared to come to the D.

Speak your mind even if your voice shakes...

Well, as a true-to-the-heart Texas girl, I have to say I'm surprised they never filmed in Houston or Dallas. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

Agreed meeks http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Any updates??? Anyone from the Chicagoland area run into the cast members?? What area is the house in? Just a few questions I guess.
