The Real World

I started watching The Real World again because its the summer and there really isn't anything else on. Also, because it's awesome. The idea for the show is so insanely simple but the show has been so popular for so long. The reason, casting.

The intro to the show says, "7 strangers living in a house..." and that's literally all it is. However, the beauty of the show takes place in the application and interview to be on the cast. The producers always manage to get 7 strangers that would never be able to have a stable roommate. Then they put them in a sweet house, close all the doors and start poking them. Hilarity ensues.

I was thinking, for the past 4 to 5 minutes about what questions the producers might ask potential cast members. Here's what I got:


1. Are you on any prescription medication?

(this one is a no brainer. If they are on medication, you can definitely make an episode where they cant find it then they get super a) crazy, b) sad, or c) drunk

2. How would you rate your self-esteem? 1-10

(answers between 1-2, you probably have somebody that is going to embarrass themselves royally. Answers 5-10, better skip this applicant. "What's self-esteem", bullseye!)

3. Can you take a punch to the face?

("yes", sweet. "no", that's ok it would be cool to watch. "I only do the punching", perfect)

4. Do you have a steady boyfriend/girlfriend?

("yes, my girlfriend and I have been dating for two years andwe trust each other 100%" not ideal, "no" getting warmer, "I have both" bingo)
