Yes SoCalGirl - this means my chances of getting on are getting even better I'm from Chicago too - Janet from RW Boston went to Northwestern I believe (Chicago). On the most recent RW 10 and RR 10 - Rachel is from a chicago suburb (orland) and Ellen "the princess" is from Vernon Hills, another chicago 'burb. Real World 11 is currently being shot in chicago (wriggleyville) - so you know there will be at least one native (hopefully!)
