MTV Real World Road Rules News Blog

The Real World Denver house is now called Theorie as opposed to The Abbey which it was originally projected to be named.

Theorie opened the 2nd week of August 2007 at 1920 Market Street in Denver Colorado as a restaurant and martini bar.

It was originally going to be called The Abbey but had to revise the naming due to a copyright conflict with a different establishment.

The Denver Post description of Theorie:

The second-floor living space, once home to many a reality-TV drama scene, will open soon as a new wine store. But the pool that people saw on the TV show is missing, and the stairs have been removed. Now the entry is flanked by two long full-service bars, one on the three-season outdoor patio to the left and one inside the main bar area to the right. Inside, several dining areas offer elegant tables, cozy booths and two banquette-lined lounge areas.

The décor is certainly creative, if chaotic, mixing vintage opulence, modern simplicity and LoDo loft style with mixed results. It works brilliantly in the entry; look up as you walk through the front doors, and you’ll see a large piece of ornate iron scrollwork on the ceiling, along with a modern chandelier of red glass ribbons and a brick wall dotted with twinkling red-beaded sconces.

The patio feels like a different place altogether, with mod brushed-steel tables, a long, sleek steel bar and a casual back lounge area. The inside bar mixes things up with plush plum-colored banquettes and throw pillows, white molded-plastic chairs and bare brick walls, and the dining areas follow the vintage route again with sparkling chandeliers, dark tables and sheer curtains.

One private dining area goes all out, with a gazebolike circular space enclosed by white crystal-studded curtains, containing a round glass table and a glittering $20,000 crystal chandelier. Walk into the VIP lounge, and the décor changes again, this time with low black tables and couches, and zebra-upholstered wall cushions.

Trisha Cummings of The Real World Sydney is currently being tagged by accusations of being a racist on the basis of her conversation describing a situation in which she could not understand a service person’s attempt at English.

As reported in Sydney Australia’s The Daily Telegraph, The NSW Anti-Discrimination Board contacted MTV as they were concerned about them airing this particular footage on The Real World.

Her recollection of events when she describes this situation has no mention of race or ethnicity and there was no direct footage of the incident, so for what anyone knows it could have been a white Australian with a thick Australian accent.

Only upon some investigation, beyond anything Trisha stated or hinted at on the show, it turns out the service individual is an Asian Australian.

I stated to the The Daily Telegraph my diagnosis of the footage after speaking with Trisha about the situation:

Cummings’ agent Michael Martin has fought back at claims she is a racist today, by telling News Limited her comments were taken out of context in the TV editing process.

“Trisha is distraught by this misconception that she is racist,” Mr Martin said.

“The edited video footage in question merely has her conveying in the second hand a person’s lack of ability to speak English and not disparaging their race or ethnicity.”

This is concerning to me as these excuses to disparage someone as a racist whereby race is never mentioned or truly underlining within the statement but simply to vilify someone for not liking what they said.  This devalues the term racist by reducing its meaning to the severity of someone’s true ignorance and prejudice.  A similar call of racism was attributed to Michael Savage for stating those on a hunger strike for illegal immigrants to get a reduced price green card in San Francisco to simply starve themselves to death as that would solve the problem.  It may not be something people like to hear but again racism did not come into play within the statement.

The only thing Trisha is guilty of is a both a lack of patience & empathy for others but of course that can said of most of us in The Real World. 

This is expressly my opinion and not that of Trisha Cummings or MTV as to get either you must contact the MTV PR staff.

The 20th season of The Real World had everything pointing to it being “Back to LA” which was confirmed recently by the MTV Press Release confirming it as, The Real World Hollywood.

The Real World Hollywood will also include the first-ever viewer-chosen housemate as Greg Halstead, aka Pretyboy, from Daytona Beach, Florida was chosen after 2.9 million total votes were tallied will join the other six housemates.

There will be 24 episodes that will begin shooting in the Fall of 2007 and air in early 2008.

In a groundbreaking initiative for the network, this new season will go “green” and introduce today’s youth to the ways in which they can incorporate environmentally-friendly household items and make eco-friendly lifestyle choices, as seen on “The Real World” into their everyday lives.

A leader in pop-culture, MTV will showcase many of the ways in which viewers at home can participate in “green” practices every day with an intimate look at the sustainable and energy-efficient choices made in the construction of the house. By partnering with thinkMTV and working with a wide range of environmentally-friendly manufacturers, the 20th season will continue to set the standard for aspirational home design, this time with an eco-friendly twist.

“The Real World” house will include everything from solar energy solutions to bamboo flooring, recycled glass counters, some sustainable furniture and recycled vintage décor, energy star appliances, a solar heated swimming pool and energy efficient lighting. Additionally, Bunim-Murray Productions has taken measures to reduce its environmental impact by adopting more environmentally-sound production practices on set. They also are working towards making the production and show carbon-neutral by offsetting remaining carbon emissions after these carbon reducing measures are applied. Eco-friendly elements will be added on a regular basis throughout production and within the show, including products seen with the cast and around the house…

“Coming back to Los Angeles after 14 years, where else but Hollywood could MTV have brought ‘The Real World’?” said Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti, whose 13th district includes the production’s location. “The combination of reality-TV excitement with strong ecological practices is a natural fit for Hollywood, the world’s capital of entertainment and the place to look for the future of building a sustainable city.”
