Real World Key West . Svetlana Speaks
Today I discovered a comment left in a previous post Real World Key West . Cast Preview from a person calling herself "Svetlana".
So I started to wonder... could this actually be one of the seven strangers from the new season or mabye th is is some random girl [or boy] with way too much time [and I mean loads of free time] on their hands posing as Svetlana, speaking on her behalf to mislead me and fuck with GuyTVBlog.com.
So then the intention behind the comment began to play over and over in my head. If I was on a hit MTV reality show where the anti-fans outweigh the actual Real World fans, well, I would make the proper decision to stay away from the internet. I mean there's too many idiots like myself who are posting useless comments about people I've never met. I mean, who the fuck am I to respond or react to someone else's actions. We all know MTV loves to mislead the audience with their playful editing techniques so who am I to judge these 7 strangers...
I'll tell you who I am. I'm a fucking viewer! I live in a free country and I will rant about shit I don't know and give my three cents on all reality shows because I can. And with that said, any cast member from any reality show can respond [when maybe they shouldn't because it's most likely the entire net versus them] to what I've written here on GuyTVBlog.com.
So if this letter below is indeed from Svetlana, well then let's get into it and see what she wrote. Also, throughout the letter I address any thoughts or added rants regarding her response to my personal review of her edited profile on cable tv.
Svetlana writes: Dear Guytv ,
{Actually that's Mr. GuyTVBlog. Wouldn't want me calling you Svet or Slutlana. Wait, wait, waittt, please blame the term "slutlana" on MTV as they replay over and over that tv spot with that unknown guy renaming you in front of a national tv audience.}
For the record -- when I was talking about "getting anything out of a guy who’s in love.." I was describing [[wait, before i continue this obviously is my perspective, my opinion which is a direct reflection of me reacting to my experiences and I’m obviously stereotyping all men which i know is retarded or "special" but this could apply to any type of intimate relationship, straight or gay. however, i am not excluding men from being manipulative b/c only g-d knows my experience with that BUT i do believe that in straight relationships, the majority of men either play dumb or really are mentally incapable of thought processing in situations where there is an opportunity to compromise they're relationship. And obviously I’m referring to men who understand that cheating is wrong and are in a stereotypically "normal" relationship (i.e. a relationship where no problems arise that would be deemed a reason for the man to cheat)]] anyway, in explaining why men cannot be trusted because, any girl could get something out of a guy if she did it right, meaning that I don't trust males because even if he's a good guy...she'll get something and most likely he will really regret it but it still happened because he thought with his dick and not his heart or his brain for that matter. It wasn’t an egotistical comment although I really messed up in relaying my thought, I do that a lot, and using myself as an example was a very bad idea.
{This sounds like Svetlana to a T based on her OnDemand video profile because the girl talks a mile a minute spitting out thought over comment over rant over thought over comment. It just all comes out at once and appears like the text above.
About the whole man cheating issue, Svetlana, you're young, beautiful and still fairly new to the world of men. No lady at the young age of 20 something can say they know "men" and I'm not saying you said that but I would at least hope you look at this issue from another perspective.
The male species will always cheat, that we know. But everyone who's been involved in a relationship where cheating has been an issue, you've got to ask that one question I don't see many people asking, and that is... Why are these men cheating on their partners?
Here's the answer. I blame the relationship itself and I never blame the "other" woman/man. If a relationship between two people is healthy, enjoyable and basically happy, then one shouldn't feel the need to cheat. Maybe there's a need for a 3some involving one new person and their current partner, that's healthy because both individuals in the relationship are involved but cheating on the side without the other knowing, well that kind of thought process just isn't on a truely committed man's mind.
No one wakes up thinking to themselves while they brush their teeth, "I think I'll cheat on my partner today, maybe spice things up a bit". There's a reason why these men are cheating. Something is wrong in the relationship itself. Once cheating occurs, there is no cure for the relationship. It's dead.
If we are to believe we only live once and many seem to believe they have a limited number of years on this planet, then move on and start a new relationship instead of thinking "I can't believe I wasted X amount of years of my life with this person".}
Svetlana continues: Also, if you have big boobs—it makes sense to wear revealing shirts b/c otherwise you look like sponge-bob-square pants when your covered up. Boobs are only flattering to the body when you wear certain clothes---girls with “tigg ol biddies” I know you feel me (no offense sponge-bob, I love you). And if I don’t enjoy my youth now—when should I wear sexy clothes? When I’m 40 and people think I’m having a mid-life crisis and my skin looks like leather from tanning so much to keep up with societies stereotypical beauty (inner conflict statement—remove from memory)? Blat! (Russian word for Shit, it just sounds stronger, and if you have a lisp I just made you feel that much better about cursing! Love you too)
{I highly doubt that spongy faggot is offended. He needs to hook up with Patrick already and get it over with.
I also look forward to seeing your breasts on MTV blurred to perfection. And about that tanning thing, just fuck what society's demanding need of perfectly tanned bodies perpetuates. Just don't die at an old age draped in leather skin! Why white girls feel the need to bake is just stupid. I'm still waiting to hear from any girl a vaild reason to over tan. Anyone?
We need more self love apperication courses in school and less sex ed classes.}
Svetlana continues: Sorry about my defense mechanism spewing into your comments but I got really mad about the way I explained my trust theory because I do explain it a lot and they didn’t show it, only the part where I said it wrong (of course – g-d forbid I realize I might have been even more confusing and this was all the editing people could come up with so people didn’t turn there heads to the side like “huuuh?”)
{I understand what you mean about MTV's editing, it will forever play a major role in your lives. But then one can always say- or blame "that's not what really happen, it was the way they edited it."}
And I reconsidered fixing my shnotzer – okay maybe not—but its really %^$#& expensive – maybe ill figure out a way to deviate my septum and then it will be free --- yeay insurance policy!!!
{Please leave your nose alone. You look fine the way you are. Life is about imperfections and your unique nose your parents gave you unwillingly should be something you value. A fake face is a worthless face. Harsh words but words to admire.}
Take Care!
-Svetlana
p.s. incase you thought someone this annoying couldn’t possible exist— TA-DA!
**I'm here all week, bring friends.
{You're not annoying, but calling yourself annoying won't stop 100,000 anti-fans from calling you annoying. My advice, cause I know you wanna hear it as you've got a few more seconds to spare...
Watch out for fucked up veteren alliances when you join the next Real World vs Road Rules Challenge cast. Destroy all veteren alliances. It's bullshit that Jeremy and other participants out of the circle of drunk-frat-friendship-alliances got picked off by RW/RR bullies. I mean did you see last week's episode of the Gauntlet 2 when Rock Hard Alton chose Jeremy to fight in the Gauntlet?
How fucking fair was that? They give bullshit reasons, "it's for the team" when someone should call them out and say "no, it's to make sure the people who don't matter to you leave and your drinking buddies stay". Fuck Alton and his newly installed cunt between his rock hard, muscled thighs.
Svetlana, watch yourself against these alliances. Break that shit up in future seasons!}
If this letter proves to be a fake, then It was fun to address it. Simple as that. If it's the real Svetlana, email me some scoops about the upcoming season that I won't spoil to anyone just 'cause I love spoilers! ;o)

Real World Key West . Cast Preview
Thanks to MTV OnDemand through Comcast cable we get a proper introduction to the new cast of The Real World: Key West. After viewing their submission videos and pre-interviews, this cast looks like the one you're going to love to hate- okay, let's not be so mean. This will be the cast you will love to "dislike" or "not agree with" or maybe "look down on". These are the 7 strangers of Key West.
Tyler . Here we find out Tyler describes himself as "conniving, good looking, have a great body, very intelligent actually." He also came out to his parents by first telling them that he wasn't gay and then told his father that he was "bi." Tyler's mother then asks him if he's questioning his sexuality to which Tyler is sent to a counseling group run by ex-gay and ex-lesbian members. These whack jobs teach us that through pray, love and forgiveness that we queers can be straight. Tyler, of course, did not graduate.
Janelle . Apparently she's now a "superstar" after being picked to be on The Real World Key West. Here we find out she prefers to date "black guys" because she stays within her race due to that fact that she's "half black". She also doesn't know any of her [limited] white friends or white co-workers' names because she just doesn't have many white friends. We then find out that she comes from an interracial family with one parent described as "hard work" and the other as "education" thus guiding Janelle into law school.
But she's only 22 years old and doesn't want to put three years of her life into a book so expect her law dream to fly right out the window for a career in MTV challenges. Janelle also announces that "yeah, I had my boobs done and I really love them. Really love them, yeah." And she doesn't think her parents will watch the show. Finally we find out that Janelle will get angry "very quickly" and "over anything". God help the white chicks in the house.
Paula . This Real World cast member informs us that she doesn't like relationships or being someone's girlfriend. She also doesn't trust other people, can be "very jealous" and compares the words "I love you" to throwing a baseball because she'll say it first, very quickly and tosses it around like nothing.
Paula also announces that she is now bisexual, thanks to a woman named Jen. "This is very, very weird and new" is how she describes being Bi. She goes on to tell us that one night she drank too much and ended up making out with Jen in the bathroom that led to hanging out that changed into best friends that then led to "real feelings" but Paula has decided that she does not want to be with a girl.
Paula's next story is that she pissed her pants one night and then walked around with piss all over her pants. Golly I want to be just like her. She also tells us that she has had an eating disorder, something she now has control over, but never really thinks anyone actually gets over the disorder. Paula also says she has a "bitch switch" that if anyone ever comes at her, she gets upset. She says it could be your hairstyle and for that reason she will start verbally attacking you. But she does say that she warns people and it's then your fault if you keep doing whatever it is you're doing that pisses her off.
John . Oh here's a fucking winner from this season's cast. John says he likes to be the center of attention to which he says most people are not too fond with. He adds that he has played sports boasting an injury in his video and that he has played... girls as well. He chuckles while he says this as if the game of "girls" is only for the big boys.
John then announces that he has been in love once where he describes it as "beautiful as it was painful." We also find out John has had one night stands and that a lot of girls don't know this but... "guys loose a lot of respect for them [girls] when they give it up on the first night". Wow, John is like the best cast member so far. They should have just cast him and named the show The Real World: John. It gets better.
John is currently single and begins to tell us a story that happens often to him while attending social gatherings i.e. parties. He says guys usually invite "certain girls" over and well, these girls end up spending the rest of the night with John and his buddies ditching the guys they came with. According to John, this doesn't "sit well" with the guys who first brought the "certain girls".
Finally, John's winning quote of his entire interview is this. "If anyone ever needs to talk, I'm there. I feel like I know so much, that I have so much information and I've experience so much that people- that I think a lot of people can benefit from things that I have to say and support and advice that I can give to people." He's only 22 years old and he has "experienced" life. Gee golly, you just wanna love him and squeeze him... until he stops breathing.
Svetlana . Okay ladies, start hatin' because according to Svetlana, there's are a lot of haters, especially girls that love to hate the people they see on tv because now Svetlana is one of those "tv people". So ladies, start hatin'.
She begins her introduction video with "Hey guys, if you think you have to be this hot to make it onto The Real World... you do." [She's right, but this statement only pertains to the last few seasons] Later we find out that she's 19 years old and was born outside of the U.S. She also has a list she presents to us as to why MTV should pick her.
1. Tig Ol' Biddies. She swears to God that they are real and that they jiggle. She also swears that her lips are real. "They [her breasts] really are a weapon and are a huge advantage. I love them, they're hot, they're cute and they're bubbly." But she hates her nose and wants to get that done.
2. Drama Queen. Apparently her 19 year old life is an "inevitable shit storm." Everything is very dramatic, she's overly sensitive, everything's a big deal turned ten times bigger, things hurt her more than it would to other people, she can't take a joke and she takes certain things more personally. Whew, that was a lot of "shit storm" to type out.
3. I love nudity. So Svetlana loves nudity! She loves seeing people naked, getting drunk and running around naked, getting people naked, being naked and everything that involves the word naked.
4. Men are my pets. She claims that no penis can be trusted. She apologizes to the men watching because they're stupid and her "pets". She can also get anything she wants from a guy, even a guy who's "so in love with his girlfriend". She can get a kiss out of that boyfriend, get his number, get him to take her number, or call her, or talk to her, or go out with her or do something that his girlfriend wouldn't want him to do with her. Svetlana's tits sure do have a massive size ego.
She's my new favorite cast member so far! Gee golly, I hope when I get the chance to squeeze her Tig Ol' Biddies that they don't POP!
Jose . Okay, Jose is just boring [so far]. Every season we get a boring cast member and this guy is it. He goes on to tell us that he went to Barnes & Nobles and read real estate books that led to him buying property and fast forward to him now owning his own house and a Camaro. Um... what else. He busted his ass to get where he's at today [who hasn't?]. He doesn't have a girlfriend and that usually girls are more into him than he is into them. Vanity issues!
Oh wait, his ex-girlfriend is one of his tenants on his many properties and they both apparently live in the same damn house. Jose calls this situation in his life that he help create as "really really complicated, really complicated". Okay, so don't laugh but now when he brings girls home he actually feels bad and doesn't want to hook up in front of his ex, you know, because she's his ex... living in the same house or property. He also tells us that he waits about a month until he has sex with a girl. We'll see if he waits a month in the house that no average cast member can afford.
Finally he doesn't date Hispanic girls because of their cultural differences. He dates interracially but doesn't or hasn't dated "black girls" but he does date white girls- I mean "American girls" is what he calls them.
Zach . Here's the heart breaking story. Zach's mother has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and he calls his parents his "best friends". He goes on to say that not enough people are doing the same thing as he is. But then again, not everyone's mother has MS and who knows what kind of son he would be if she had never had MS. He also states that he wants to be the ulimate Jerry McGuire and has played the sport of tennis for four years.
We also find out he's Jewish and that he wants to represent his people the best way he can. He also doesn't want to fit a stereotype and wants to educate people who will listen to him. He next talks about his high school days letting us know that he use to be the "puggy" kid with all girl friends. And now since he has lost the "puggy" weight he wants to have "random sexual encounters"... with girls. He's done the whole girlfriend slash relationship thing and now just wants "random sexual encounters". But he has yet to specify if they must be Jewish girls.
Well thanks MTV OnDemand for the indepth video profiles of each cast member. So what do you guys and gals think about these 7 strangers? Why not check out the official trailer for The Real World: Key West so you can pass even more judgement on these tv people picked to live in a house to battle Hurricances... and each other.
After viewing the trailer, John gives us another award winning quote to add to his "life experiences" and wealth of "advice and knowledge"... He tells someone on the phone who's just another simpleton like you and I... John says "You don't understand what the last four or five days of our lives have been like man". Is John on his way to be the new, younger Dr. Phil? Educate me John. Teach me John. Help me learn to love... again.
MTV needs to pay big bucks to have the Abercrombie building banner in New York taken down and replaced by towering size posters of Tyler & Johanna- I mean Svetlana! Tune in Feb. 28th for an all new season of The Real World: Key West.

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!

AnchorTV . Real World: Key West
news has broken. major news networks across the world have interrupted regular broadcasting to alert the public. mtv + bunim-murray producers are currently scouting key west, florida as the next location for the real world series according to reality blurred dot com.
in the 1980's, the gay + lesbian community brought the city to into a new social life. the streets in key west welcome tourists and open interaction with locals with sidewalk cafes, open bars + pubs and resturants that fit perfectly in the isle's locale. part of the florida keys, key west is the perfect complete opposite of the current real world: austin.
mtv is s-m-r-t for selecting key west. it's part of a chain of islands, key west at the end, the island that is furthest away from the state of florida. this would give the new cast some kind of solitude and privacy.
it makes sense that the news for key west is breaking just about the time that real world: austin debuts on mtv. reason being is when the viewing public is focused on the current season, mtv + bunim-murray takes the chance to film a whole new season under an unaware public. and when real world: austin wraps up with its season finale, a few months pass and we get a whole new season of the real world.
and some wonder how they film them so fast...
based on the casting special for real world: austin, there are no gay or lesbian castmembers. i was shocked! but then again, it makes sense that 3 gay and/or lesbian castmembers could be saved for the possible key west season. texas is also very unfriendly when it comes to queers in public. just another reason why this queer writer is still closeted.
i expect the producers to cast at least half of the key west cast with queer strangers. it makes sense. nearly every season is full of straights. why should the gay castmembers continue to be the supporting characters. let's make them the stars.
so in tomorrow's post, i will cast my own real world: key west! each has unusual names mixed with everyday names. each are diverse and different and i expect to create a full season in a series of posts here on guytvblog!
bonus article . real world: miami season.
``REAL WORLD'' INTRODUCES THE MIAMI SEVEN
MEET MIKE of MTV's ``Real World V.'' Today, he's nobody you ever heard of before - a 24-year Floridian who knows a little accounting, dabbled in the restaurant business and is working hard to shave some strokes off his golf game. After tonight, when the fifth season of ``Real World'' premieres at 10 on MTV with back-to-back episodes, who knows?
Mike may evolve into a household name, as did the obnoxious, scab-picking, eating-peanut-butter-with-his-fingers bike messenger David ``Puck'' Rainey of the ``Real World'' set in San Francisco.
``Real World'' also brought fame to the late Pedro Zamora, who impressed viewers with his struggle against AIDS. And it gave celebrity to Lars, the Berliner in leather who was part of ``Real World'' when it was set in London. And to Neil, also of the London ``Real World'' bunch, who got his tongue bitten when he tried to kiss a dude in a club.
After ``Real World I'' in 1992, Julie, Kevin, Norman, Eric, Andre and the others who shared a Manhattan loft became as well-known as the cast of ``Friends'' today. And wasn't ``Real World I'' the inspiration for ``Friends'' on NBC?
Now come seven more young people to open their lives to the MTV cameras. Will they connect with MTV's audience as did the seven who shared the cool digs in San Francisco in 1994? Or will they be as forgettable as the shallow, bickering bunch who were set up in Venice Beach, Calif., by MTV in 1993?
Now it's time to get acquainted with seven new Real Worlders. Will they be appealing or appalling?
Mike isn't talking much about how ``Real World V'' evolved after the seven - five Americans, one Cuban-American and one native of the former USSR - settled into their house in Miami.
This ``Real World'' has a twist. The seven roommates will be partners in a new business they will start from scratch with the help of fiftysomething Landon Thorne, hired by MTV to clue the Miami Seven in on entrepreneurship.
What kind of a business do they choose? A coffee bar, perhaps?
Mike isn't saying.
And does the business succeed or crash?
``I'm sworn to secrecy,'' he said.
Mike's roommates include Cynthia, 22, from Oakland, Calif., a waitress who also attends San Jose State; Flora, 24, the Russian immigrant who's a bartender when she's not studying art in Boston; and Dan, 21, of Overland Park, Kan., who is a senior at Rutgers. MTV says he's the most talkative of the bunch.
And there is Melissa, 22, who is in her last year at the University of Miami; Sarah, 25, a graduate of Indiana U. who works as an editor; and Joe, 25, a graduate business student from Fordham U. who says he's a computer nerd.
It is an older, wiser and more mature bunch than seen on ``Real World'' in the past, says MTV.
``We're all grownups,'' Mike said.
Starting tonight, we'll see if they act like grownups.
It took about two weeks or so for Mike to get used to living with a camera crew of 25 scrambling through windows and doors to get the best shots. ``You have to remember to close the bathroom door,'' he said. ``Or the camera will follow you in there, too.''
``After a while, you regard the camera as a piece of furniture that doesn't intrude. To be honest, when taping ended, I missed seeing the camera. I almost freaked out when it was gone. I had gotten used to it.''
``Real World'' started out as an experiment on MTV in 1992 - something different to break up the hours of music videos, a soap opera without a script. When viewership reached 700,000, MTV asked the producers to do ``Real World II,'' which attracted an audience of 2 million.
Today, ``Real World'' is an MTV franchise seen in 34 countries, a docu-soap watched by millions. It made Puck darn near as popular as Beavis and Butt-head.
