The Real World 21 season location has not been decided or disclosed yet but Washington DC does seem likely as the casting director, Damon Furberg, is looking for activists and politically minded people; so where better to be with this type of cast than in the nation’s capital?

Bunim-Murray Productions has confirmed it will not be filmed overseas, although Canada could still be an option, and that filming will begin in May 2008 and be televised on MTV in the Fall of 2008 when there will be a much anticipated Presidential election in November.

The contract between Bunim-Murray Productions and MTV does not exist, at least publicly, for any seasons of The Real World beyond the upcoming Real World Hollywood season.

An article on an Onion-like site described what a Real World Washington DC would be like with 7 of the former presidential candidates that included Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, and Dennis Kucinich.

Below is an excerpt:

MTV Marketing Manager Tim Fields noted that this marks the first time in the history of the show that all seven cast members are male, which apparently rubbed Giuliani the wrong way. According to Fields, Guiliani was overhead complaining that the cast didn’t include “at least one slutty party girl that [we] could all take turns banging.”

However, Fields said Romney was quick to respond that “at least they didn’t stick us with any of those alternative lifestyle guys. If you live with them, there is a pretty high likelihood of them infecting you with the gays.”

On this Valentines Day in 2008 news of The Real World Austin cast members Melinda Stolp and Danny Jamieson’s wedding date has been announced to be on Saturday August 2nd, 2008.

The news is much better than what Danny received back on Valentines Day in 2005 as it is the day his mother passed away during the filming of The Real World Austin.

Danny announced he and Melinda’s wedding plans at an event appearance at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Iowa on Wednesday February 13th, 2008.

Danny and Melinda were engaged just before The Real World Austin Reunion Show in 2005 and was televised during it.

They also have the intention of having children within the next 3 years and most likely reside in the Boston area.

Rumors of Melinda being pregnant or having her engagement ring paid for by MTV or Bunim-Murray Productions is false.

No news if they will be filming the wedding to be aired on MTV.

MTV has announced that on Saturday March 29th the Real World cast members from all 20 seasons, including the upcoming Real World Hollywood, will be at a first ever Real World awards show called Roast Em and Toast Em.

The categories will include:

• Best Meltdown
• Best Fight

After seasons of talking amongst themselves about who are the cutest, funniest and nastiest, viewers now have a voice on MTV and will determine in an online voting poll at http://realworldawards.mtv.com/ the winners of the “The Real World Bash” awards.  Now through February 29, The Real World Awards site allows viewers to vote as many times as they want in 13 different categories, including “Best Meltdown,” Best Fight,” “Hottest Male,” Hottest Female,” “Favorite Love Story” and “Favorite Season.”  To better help people decide pictures of former roommates and video highlights will be available to review before casting votes.  [Editors, please note: the online site will roll out the 13 categories during the week of February 11-15 so viewers will need to check back to vote for all awards.]

The Real World launched the modern reality television genre and is the longest-running reality series in history.  Past seasons have taken place in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Miami, Boston, Seattle, Hawaii, New Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas, Paris, San Diego, Philadelphia, Austin, Key West, Denver and Sydney.  The first season, set in New York City, debuted in 1992.  Each season, the show brings seven young strangers to live together in a new city and rolls the cameras 24-7, witnessing as their lives intersect, their ideas are challenged and their passions emerge. 

The Real World was created for MTV by Jon Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim of Bunim-Murray Productions.  Jon Murray, Jim Johnston and Audrey Morrissey serve as executive producers of The Real World Awards Bash: Roast ‘Em and Toast ‘Em.  Scott Freeman is co-executive producer.  Jacquelyn French and Drew Tappon are the MTV executives overseeing the project.
