The top source of information & credible news online for both The Real World & Road Rules shared in part with the MM Agency is The Real World/Road Rules blogspot created by Mario who is a big fan of both shows as well a friend to many cast members.
This blog has existed in some form since 1998 when Mario was a freshman in high school. To give this a true perspective of time he is currently pursuing his graduate Ph. D. studies now in Los Angeles.
Mario’s blog was first to point out last week that there seems to be a plan that the final selection process for The Real World 20 cast will be an online vote.
Eric Weidner posted 2 weeks ago in this blog claiming to be a finalist and there will be a vote online as well a gentleman named Weston Ashley posting in a forum that in early May there will be profiles placed on MTV.com and fans will choose who makes it to the last round of casting.
There is nothing official from MTV on this yet but the president of MTV music group entertainment, Brian Graden, told the Los Angeles Times on April 17th that casting for The Real World will take place entirely online. He also confirms that The Real World is still MTV’s top franchise but that the current Denver season’s ratings are the lowest in over 6 years since Back to New York.
