True, but technically the general public doesn't even know that the season is done filming unless they're fanboys and read the press release. (Most people still think they are applying for the season after St.Thomas). I think it'll kick up once the cast is officially announced. Then the MTV and Real World twitter/facebook accounts will be buzzing.
I just see it different. The Real World Challenge stuff kind of died down during RW Sydney-Denver-Inferno 3 era and seemed to pick back up during Hollywood. Even outside of vevmo.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant season 28. 90% of the viewing audience isn't aware of Portland
Just some preliminary thoughts and comparisons on the cast. I Obviously am not basing this on a whole lot so I'm sure they wont be accurate but I wanted to see if anyone else was thinking the same things.
Anastasia - Im getting a Sahar vibe from her. She seems to be of middle eastern decent? From Michigan and a singer.
Averey - I think she'll be the "good girl" who falls for the "Bad boy". She reminds me of Sarah from RW Hollywood
Jessica - Not sure yet. Seems like she will be at the centre of alot of conflict though
Johnny - Adam Royer-ish?
Joi - Not sure
Jordan - Haven't heard much about him. Im thinking he may be the "nice guy". Zach from Key West or Eric from New Orleans type
Marlon - Did I read he is Gay somewhere? If so I see him being a lot like Karamo from Philadelphia
Nia - same as Jessica, maybe a bit more likeable though
[QUOTE=andhoo;325780]Marlon - Did I read he is Gay somewhere? If so I see him being a lot like Karamo from Philadelphia[/QUOTE]
Early reports had him pegged as being gay, but I think they had him confused with someone else who was also being filmed for a television show.
Does it almost seem that they're starting to cast the Real World primarily for the Challenges?
Marlon played football at Texas Tech (he was a solid recruit coming out of HS), Nia played college volleyball, Averey played basketball and volleyball in HS, Johnny played HS hockey and Joi played basketball as well.

Not to mention Jordan Wakeboards with 1 hand. And I don't see a problem with them doing that. They're gonna eventually need new faces slowly coming in cause not all the old vets are gonna stay around forever. And it's best to have some alpha-competitors over people who wouldn't fare too well...

Honestly, I feel like it's been that way for quite some time now.
Yeah they are which is sad. I agree with the people who say the old RW is the real world because the new ones are just there for looks and challenges sake.

I don't think it's a bad thing. Las Vegas was an awesome season!
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;325973]Hell which one? lol. Just kidding, I liked both of them too.[/QUOTE]
The second one. People keep saying they're tired of the same club-drink-fight. Dustin had real life, not drunken, drama that alone made the season insane. I don't know. Just my take on it. They could be both good looking and interesting. Problem is they cast people who are interesting and good looking but when they get to the house they hide from the cameras, ie Alex from San Diego 2
The casting team specifically said they wanted "elite athletes" this season. I can't think of any other reason than wanted most of them on the next challenge.

Yeah but look how this season is turning out. It's supposed to be insanity.

I hope the season stays consistent with everything. I'm really excited for it to air. I say that every time, but this one seems different. Different as in CrAzYYY!!!!

I agree. And I think it's a great thing, and it worked out really well with Vegas, I mean there were 5 great athletes on that season (Leroy, Dustin, Adam, Cooke, Nany), plus many had real-life drama (Dustin's ****, Leroy and Naomi's baby/STD drama, Nany's dad, Mike's mom)
The problem is when the cast doesn't mesh well together or doesn't have interesting background stories, like San Diego and St. Thomas, but that's always a toss up.
For some reason, the Portland cast gives me a great vibe, though.
I'M really hoping that there was a lot of conflict, because so far, this cast seems to all be getting along pretty well after filming. ( Reminds me of DC :weep: )

Also, I'm guessing the confidentiality agreement is up because the cast is now starting to actually admit to being on RW.

Besides a tweet sent to Jordan from Jessica, I haven't heard any of the cast talk about Averey, Jordan, or Johnny on Facebook or Twitter.
I predict: A divide betwetten Marlon and the rest of the guys, Averey and Johnny being the new Ashley and Zach (except with personality), Nia starting a lot of fights with Johnny, Anastasia being the invisible roommate, and Joi leaving to be with her boyfriend (she seems uber needy on twitter)
I doubt Joi would leave for her boyfriend. We don't need to repeat the Shauvon and David drama from Sydney. And why do you think there's a divide between Marlon and the other 2? Sure on the front it may look like they may not have a lot in common but it's still too early to tell that.
As for Averey and Johnny that will get old fast.

Just because we don't need it doesn't mean it didn't happen lol. As for Marlon, idk I just have a feeling.

No kidding Yvan. But i have to ask where you are getting that notion from?
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;326549]That hunch makes me queasy lmao. I hope you're right concerning Marlon though. The show needs drama right now[/QUOTE]
Well we have one common friend from our university. I asked her stuff about him and she wouldn't tell me much besides he kinda has ABGS. Ty and Tyrie part 2?

I hate that damn stereotype. Like it's a crime for african americans to get mad? Such bull****. You've gotta be kidding me. And Ty was never angry. Tyrie I'm still iffy about.
I decided that the casting directors went out of their way to find an attractive cast, what with all the models cast. Especially after St. Thomas. Not that the St. Thomas cast is unattractive by any stretch, but there were certainly complaints.

I think this season ties with Hollywood for the most attractive cast.
