So Entertainment Weekly made a list and named the MVP for each season of the Real World:


Real World New York: Eric Nies

"The most ab-ilicious of the original seven strangers, model Eric may have parlayed his post-Real World celebrity — and taut torso — into hosting gigs on MTV (see: The Grind), but we'll always remember the Jersey boy for his sweet flirtation with country bumpkin Julie."


Real World Los Angeles: Jon Brennan

"Goody-two shoes doesn't begin to describe the non-drinking, non-sex-having country crooner from Kentucky. Keeping your morals in a RW crib is something few have managed to do, and we give Jon props for his unusual resolve."


Real World San Francisco: Perdo Zamora

"Snot-spewing bike messenger Puck may have made the most noise, but it was HIV-positive Pedro who left a lasting impression. The AIDS educator, who became a symbol of the growing epidemic, died at the age of 22 — one day after the final episode aired."


Real World London: Jacinda Barrett

"Fresh-faced Aussie model Jacinda had us fooled — but not for long. Potty training hijinks with petulant puppy Legend and a naked jaunt down the streets of jolly ol' England, let us know this lady had a knack for drama — long before she became the only RW veteran to build any kind of real acting career."


Real World Miami: Melissa Padron

"Oh, Melissa. Whether by accident or by design (we're leaning toward the latter), the feisty Latina always found herself in the middle of a Miami dustup. From opening an important letter addressed to Dan to playing third wheel in a risqué shower romp, Melissa knew how to instigate a RW-worthy ruckus."


Real World Boston: Montana McGlynn

"Let's be honest: the Boston cast was a smidge...dull. Yeah, we dug sweet Sean and eccentric Genesis, but Susan Sarandon look-alike Montana is the one we'd like to get a glass of white wine with and discuss post-modern feminism."


Real World Seattle: Irene McGee

"Sure she's the obvious choice, but how could we pick anyone other than Irene? This curly-topped Lyme disease sufferer was at the receiving end of the RW's most infamous ****h slap. Not to mention her poor stuffed puppy is now sleeping with the fishies!"


Real World Hawaii: Ruthie Alcaide

"The record for quickest RW meltdown has got to go to Hawaii's resident boozer Ruthie. Within minutes of arriving at the Honolulu beach house, the Filipina got nekkid, skinny dipped with new roommate Teck, and lost consciousness after a drinking binge. Yay for first impressions!"



Real World New Orleans: Danny Roberts

"A gaggle of googly-eyed gals was left heartbroken after Southern boy Danny revealed his big ''secret.'' Yep, he's gay. But that didn't stop us from picturing ourselves in that steamy hot tub with the New Orleans cutie."


Real World Back to New York: Coral Smith/ Mike Mizanin

"Mike and Coral ended up one of Real World's oddest couples. While Coral still may not wrestle (she instead ''f---ing beats b---ches up'') Mike took his RW alter ego ''The Miz'' to the ring and now delivers WWE Smackdowns instead of annoying roommates."


Real World Chicago: Tonya Cooley

"Small town Tonya perfected the role of the ignorant blonde who opens her mind. We watched as she passed kidney stones and hooked up on challenges, but this reality TV star will always be remembered for dabbling in Cinemax soft-core porn."


Real World Las Vegas: Trishelle Cannatella

"You can't really blame this season's cast for drinking and having sex all the time. Good for us but too bad for Trishelle: What happened in Vegas (three-way Jacuzzi makeout sessions, blackouts, pregnancy scares) was shown on national television."


Real World Paris: CT Tamburello

"With a beefy build and a temper to go with it, C.T. introduced true Mass-hole style to gay Paree and subsequent Real World/Road Rules challenges. Always the first to rip off his shirt and start a fight, C.T. stirs up the kind of drama that makes you glad you're not dating him."


Real World San Diego: Robin Hibbard

"From tending bar at Coyote Ugly to spending a televised night in drunk lockdown to future Real World/Road Rules challenge winner — Robin's life is a fairytale that only reality TV could write. And make better by adding a handful of MTV-cast relationships."


Real World Philadelphia: Willie Hernandez

"Philly had a tame cast, but housemate Willie actually brought something to the table besides the usual ho-hum family history of alcoholism, life-threatening illness, etc. — he was a regular in the kids' series Ghostwriter!"


Real World Austin: Wes Bergmann

"Wes is ''that guy.'' Short of smashing beer cans on his head and talking about his glory days playing high school football, he's the jock you love to hate. And regret sleeping with — just ask former fiancée and roommate Johanna."


Real World Key West: Johnny Devenanzio

"Johnny Bananas was reality TV's perfect party boy, helping us all relive playground flirting tactics. We watched him get drunk and hit on Svetlana. Get drunk and make Paula cry. Get drunk and make Janelle mad..."


Real World Denver: Brooke LaBarbera

"All that was missing from this roomie's tantrums was head spinning and projectile vomit. She may have been kicked off the Gauntlet after a bisexual tryst with Ev, but we envision her return on VH1's inevitable Celebrity Anger Management in the future."


Real World Sydney: Isaac Stout

"You have to love a roommate that comes to the house equipped with costumes, Barbie dolls, and a case of acid flashbacks. Although legitimately nuts, Isaac was somehow the sanest roommate in Sydney."


Real World Hollywood: Brianna Taylor

"With just the right amount of baggage (former exotic dancer) and clips of her beating someone up and saying ''oh, no you didn't!'' on the trailer for Season 20, Brianna already has our vote for MVP of the Hollywood cast."


I enjoyed the list and thought overall it was pretty accurate.

Season 1 definitely should have been Julie. I think I enjoyed her the most and she made the biggest impact.

Season 2 should have been Beth or Tami. They also made the season entertaining.

Season 4 should be Sharon. Maybe that is just because she is the only reason I enjoy that season remotely. I love Sharon.

Season 5 I thought Flora was the best to watch, but Melissa is agreeable.

Season 9 should have been Julie or Melissa. They definitely made that season, but the season was good so I have no complaints.

Season 13 should have been leah, but CT is reasonable.

Season 16 should be Wes, but I would much rather prefer Johanna.

Season 17 should be Paula without a doubt. She was the most entertaining. Personally, any 3 of the Key West girls could have taken this.

Season 19 could have been Parisa, because she rocks, but Isaac is cool.

Looking at their list you would think that they never watched the show, only the highlight reels or something. They are way off on 90% of these picks, although I guess it can be argued that it comes down to personal preference.

Jon from LA the MVP? No so much...

I agree, but just an added thought... Individuals are certainly entitled to personal preference, but Entertainment Weekly gets no pass from me. What were there standards of measurement? What evidence/information/data did they consider in making their selections? Did MTV PR have a hand in guiding their picks?

Overall, I'm thinking they did much worse in their selections than would an individual very knowledgeable about the show. Of course, to compare picks, one much have a standard of measurement. The media companies never offer any criteria because we could then pick them apart. Intuitively, we already know that their criteria must suck when they give us Jon - LA, Montana- Boston, CT - Paris, Robin - San Diego, Willie - Philadelphia. I must have watched different shows -- or did anyone from Entertainment Weekly actually watch them? I have my doubts.

Parisa and Issac are definitely MVPs(because together they form Voltron....I mean they are both awesome). Some of the list does highlight some good ones but they seem to forget others who made the season much more enjoyable.

The most recent EW said this? I read it every week and didn't see it in there at all.

IIRC, this article came out a few months ago, right before RW Hollywood premiered.

I agree. People who watch the show religiously like us would disagree with the show. I do agree with Montana though. I personally enjoyed her more. I could see why one would choose Syrus, Kameelah, or Genesis over her, but Montana is not a bad choice.

Personally, Leah was much more entertaining than CT on Paris. She was the only reason Paris was a good season.

Robin also isn't a bad chocie, but Brad us the better choice, and so is Frankie for me. They both were more entertaining than Robin.

Willie is an insane choice. Karamo, Landon, Sarah, and Melanie were all better choices than Willie. He did absolutely nothing for me on that show.

Also Jon should not have been picked for LA. HE did nothing, but sit and watch t.v. Beth and Tami were great for causing drama. I will never forget the bed scene and the fight that occured afterwards.

Ha ha I thought Willie was a random choice as well. I mean, because he was on Ghostwriter?! If anyone from that season Sarah or Landon or MJ.

And I really liked Leah from Paris too, but CT definately took the cake for that season. (If MVP means most loud, rude, and unstable.)
