Now You Can Party in the Real World Cancun Suite Me

Posted on Jun 22, 2009 by Michael Martin

The Real World Cancun SuiteME is now available to stay at the ME Cancun hotel as the actual show premieres on MTV Wednesday June 24th.

The bi-level suite looks out onto the Caribbean Sea with the top floor having a fully stocked bar, pool table, and deck.

The bottom floor is joined by an outside staircase to Balcony X.

The bottom floor has the kitchen, bathroom, and the 10 person hot tub.

There is also The Playroom which has a plasma screen TV with a Nintendo Wii & Rock Band equipment.

The ME Cancun is obviously trying to capitalize off The Real World like the Palms did in Las Vegas.

There is yet not confirmation on the price of suiteME but it would safe to assume at least $10,000 per night since The Real World Las Vegas suite runs about $20,000 a night on the weekend.

Of course you can save that money and watch The Real World Cancun at home to witness the 22nd season of The Real World with Ayiia Elizarraras, Bronne Bruzgo, CJ Koegel, Emilee Fitzpatrick, Jasmie Reynaud, Jonna Mannion, Joey Rozmus, & Derek Chavez.

Real World 23 Heading to Washington DC

The 23rd season of The Real World is confirmed in the Dupont Circle area of Washington DC with filming starting the weekend on June 20th, 2009 through the end of the summer of 2009.

The DC Real World will have to top the high level political debates sure to be on display during the preceding season of The Real World Cancun.

Although the only real hint of Real World politics recently is from Ryan Conklin of the Real World Brooklyn who posted that he is doing well in Saydiyah, a section of Baghdad, and that this Iraq is a different Iraq than what he last saw in 2006 as its a MUCH safer country and for the first time he actually believes it can stand on its own.

Back in the US, the physical location of The Real World DC house is 2000 S Street NW at the corner of 20th Street in Dupont Circle.

Once the cast moves in around Saturday June 20th, 2009 you can track them by checking out this customized Google Map by the Washingtonian and notify them at realworld@washingtonian.com.

Of course there is already backlash against the upcoming filming so headlining this movement is The Anti-Real World DC at this site.

Standard quotes about the season include:

Tony DiSanto, MTV’s president of programming, said MTV is “thrilled to be filming our classic franchise in the heart of where history is being made. The charged atmosphere of Washington D.C., the center of our country’s social and political change, will provide an electric setting for this next season of the Real World

Jonathan Murray, the creator and Executive Producer of The Real World added “Young people have never been more engaged in what’s happening in this country and Washington, D.C., is the perfect place for The Real World’ cast to express their opinions and pursue their passions.”

In a time when our country has witnessed the impact and spirit of our nation’s young people, it is a pleasure to welcome MTV and The Real World cast to the District of Columbia as they utilize the immense opportunities that the District’s backdrop will undoubtedly provide,” said Adrian M. Fenty, Mayor of Washington D.C.

Ryan Conklin Now in The Real World of Baghdad Iraq

Ryan Conklin from The Real World Brooklyn season is now back in Baghdad Iraq for a 2nd tour this time with the North Carolina National Guard.

Since The Real World Brooklyn concluded Ryan had been training at several southern forts including Fort Jackson in South Carolina, Fort Benning in Georgia, Camp Shelby in Mississippi, and finally Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

Although Ryan has never been to North Carolina before he is now fighting for the state’s National Guard in the 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team and in the 252nd CAB of the 30th.

He states he is in good spirits as he will be performing again as an infantryman but not to the extreme as his first tour since he will just be supporting the the Iraqis who he affirms are actually doing a lot more of the work than before.

Ryan Conklin’s rotation may be as little as 9 months rather than the year plus tour he did previously.

He claims he has almost no fear as he has over 100 times the people praying for his safety in Iraq and is absolutely confident he will be back not only to the United States but on TV again.

Real World Pivotal To the Death of MTV According to SuperNews!

SuperNews! on Current TV had an entertaining take on the downfall of MTV as they trace it to the meeting Jon Murray had pitching The Real World.

The MTV Down skit was part of the March season premiere of SuperNews!

It starts out showing a 70s style storytelling of music’s survival then morphs into a current MTV LA marketers meeting as they look to further exploit “drunk-tardism” to the delight of the advertisers.

It was funny how it shows the desire of the execs for cheap, low maintenance productions with even cheaper and younger stars, thus the natural (de)evolution to a show called, Malibabies.

This upsets the current MTV stars from The Hills as they bitch and moan while MTV is in its sickbed.

Then it flashes back to a young MTV in the 80s declaring to not want any gimmicks or “corporate crap” but just music videos and the ability to connect with & educate the youth.

Over time we enter the early nineties as MTV meets with Jonathan Murray of Bunim-Murray Productions pitching The Real World.

Jon declares its the train wreck you can’t look away from and with no flash in the pan musicians to get sick of, you can simply rerun it, rerun it, rerun it…as here we are with the casting for the 24th season of The Real World!
