Real World Key West . Troubles At Sea
rita the bitch . as tropical storm rita moves through key west, the wherabouts of the new cast is unknown. rwrr blog reports that the cast has already moved in and been frequently hanging out at the local bar irish kevin's. so if this is true and the new season is now filming then we're in store for more personal drama that now includes a key west evacuation and a violent storm with 65 mph winds.
in other parts of the key west islands people are boarding up their homes and businesses. the mayor, as of today, reports that the evacuation is mandatory but they can not force their residents to leave. those who stay are a liability to themselves and not the city. i expect the real world producers will not make this too much of a big deal. the weather channel reports that the storm will most likely pass the keys before it turns into a category 1 hurricane.
can you imagine this new season starting around the start or aftermath of hurricane katrina? now imagine one of the cast members listing new orleans as their home city. talk about emotion caught on camera and the cast member leaving the cast after the first episode or so. it could happen!
i don't expect this tropical storm to cancel the real world. i expect the cast will move somewhere in florida, maybe a trendy hotel, if the storm becomes a hurricane sooner then expected. only time will tell.
hurricane rita update . looks like tropical storm has dropped her dress revealing that she is in fact, a hurricane category 1. it is now confirmed that key west is in the middle of a hurricane and i expect the real world cast is somewhere in florida chillin' at a hip hotel suite. let's just pack up the drama and move it. hopefully the house isn't fucked up and the cast can return to key west for drunken fun. or they may return to help clean up the city. that would be interesting.
key west dodges rita . key west florida missed a knockout blow from hurricane rita, but had it suffered a direct hit, officials say they would have been ready. nbc's mark potter reports. [i will say this will definitely make for some great tv drama this up coming season!]
the house locale . the real world house is located on 32 Driftwood Drive in Key Haven and is leased from june 28th through december 1st. yeah there are some lawsuits from cunt neighbors but i already know real world brings drama, drama and more drama to any city they choose.
the real halloween . not since real world: chicago [i think] has halloween been documented during a season. finally we get to see a ghostly side of key west through the mtv cameras. residently i watched a haunted special on the travel channel all about the ghosts in key west. the spookiest that still creeps out this blogmaster is the story that centers around robert the doll.
"are you gay?" . i doubt i'll be the website to first report a gay and/or lesbian cast member for the new season but when the news breaks, expect guytvblog.com to be among the first to gossip all about it. key west is amazingly popular for gay getaways. the city's tag line is "come as you are". i do expect a gay virgin [do these still exist?] to be cast as well as a wild lesbian. it could also work the other way around.
premiere date . expect the real world: key west to begin airing on mtv this january although there is no official premiere date as of yet. but a reason i strongly suspect that the premiere date will be in january of 2006 is because mtv plans on going HDtv in january. a report from mtv says the channel will include concerts, music videos and other music-related programming.. um... the real fucking world!

If this one is anything like Austin, forget it. The show is now about mainstream straights drinking and fucking and having tantrums. And eating! What's with all the eating scenes. When the original producers left (one died), the show's snap went with them. It's an ad for binge drinking and boys behaving badly. Remember NY? Remember San Francisco?? Remember Chicago??? These were shows that had something to offer about people with differences learning to get along...or not. Austin is about black, white, and brown average straights getting laid.

The San diego season was taped around halloween also. Remember Randy and Brad dressed up as The Super Mario Brothers.
