They probably wouldn't enter White Flint @ 10pm for anything besides Dave & Buster's. Dave & Buster's might have been encouraged by the producers like Buca was. Both are national chains.
The show is not above product placement like nearly any show on tv and as seen by Cancun's hotel location, and the American Eagle clothing.
and PS: there are much closer places to go, to get away from the microscope and negative atitudes of some of the folks in DC.... As I said before, I think they should stick to going to Halo, Nellies Sportsbar (on U Street), Town, or any number of the bars on 17th street. They're at least welcome at the aforementioned locations!
Real World Cancun has been shown riding public buses, so maybe they have to do with public transit.
At the medical center, they did seem to be talking with crew about how to get back with the camera off.
So because they are filming a TV show, that everyone should heckle them and constantly stalk them? I mean I heard they got rocks thrown at them? They should have rocks thrown at them because they are filming a TV Show? No RW has never gotten this much press during filming. And Wiggy, I am very aware of a lot of things, I have been watching The Real World since season 10.
Reports that people in Dave and Busters on Sunday night were rumoring their appearance and thought they'd show up Sunday. Not sure why it became Monday. Seems like cast didn't exactly pick this venue.

And while we're on it: I'm not sure figuring out their personal information and posting it on Vevmo is any less invasive than some people taking pictures of people filming a TV show. And while no previous RW had this much media and blogger coverage, I believe it's a sign if the times. Don't get me wrong, l condemn any untoward behavior and heckling; I just don't believe that the fact it's being covered is a big deal.
In closing, I pose this: What makes info seeking on Vevmo any more appropriate than bloggers and media covering the subject on site? If everybody just left the story alone, I can guarantee there'd be griping from even you, tj.

Not only am I not saying that, I'd also appreciate it if you didn't take my comments out of context and make insinuations and assertions that I neither made nor support. Thanks.
They signed up for TV show, and have a camera crew follow them. Not random people who are just doing it to get on the show.
The issue is not so much people taking pictures of them, its stuff like throwing rocks, heckling, shouting, at them is rude. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, even if you are filming a TV show. Its a bit much.
And there is a difference to what Vevmo is doing. Posting pictures of them are and putting links to their myspace/facebook is different. That information is publicly available. I didn't say there was a problem with snapping pictures, etc. It is the rudness and I feel bad for the cast members.
Like I said before, the issue is not taking pictures of them or being curious, its the heckling, etc. Its only going to get worse and make the experience miserable for the cast members, and that is not the purpose of the show.
I don't see the point in stalking them everyday. I understand the first day or so.. (to get pics and see what the castmembers look like). But why keep following them everyday? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the pictures but I don't think its necessary to continue stalking them. We have enough pics to know what each of them look like. I say just let the camera crews do the filming from here on out.
[quote=wiggyndc;93662]I highly doubt they would travel about 45 minutes outside of DC just to go to P.F. Changs -- when there are several PF Changs in DC....
Remember - ultimately they are filming a TV Show; and the cast doesn't really have as much freedom to say "heck, let's go to XYZ an hour away...it's Metro accessible" ...
It is, however, possible that they got lost....and didn't know what time Metro stops service... and ended themselves stranded. taking the bus (gasp) is something I would never do, nor know how to do (to be honest) so more power to them.... i'm not sure how great that was to ride on the bus with camera crews in tow.
the crew does have six silver vans that are parked around the real world house - but, those aren't for the cast, i don't believe.[/quote]
What type of idiots don't know how to research the cut off time for Metro service? Why would these people use the service without doing that? I originally thought that the cast was unattractive, but they are also proving to be rather unintelligent. I hope they get lost in an area of South East next time. Now that would be the real world.

Well, then although I am not one of those stalking these people, I don't feel spoken to. But, since it sounds like no further info that I may have from sources is of interest, let's consider this my final post.

It's not like I was speaking on behalf of all vevmo members. It's just my opinion.

I have given up actively looking for the real world now that I have randomly seen them like 5 times without even trying. I still post a tweet when I do, but have stopped posting twitpics since the pics stopped being unique any more. If I saw something interesting though I would....
That said:
1. I met wiggy at Town last Saturday and he was cool so I hope he continues to post interesting things.
2. Are there really no gay/bi guys on the show?? And they moved into Dupont Circle which is sooooo gay? I guess that's why they go to Big Hunt and other awful places instead of Cobalt/Halo/Town/JRs... Maybe the blond guy with his dorky blue glasses he's always wearing.... hahaha

I guess its kind of weird that there is no gay guy, considering its DC but there have been seasons without gay guys. Sometimes two in a row.
Does he wear those glasses all the time? haha

Well, there have been reports of an openly ******** girl, so we'll have to wait and see.
From the other pictures we've seen, no. But that would've been fairly interesting, wouldn't it?

Yes, that would have been hilarious. :)
I want a lesbian!! We haven't had a Lesbian since Chicago..:(.

One of my friends met Wiggy a few weeks ago and says he's very nice and cool. :)

I guess if they put a 21 year old gay guy in Dupont they'd have too much drama to film :)
and yes every time I've seen him he had on the glasses... except the one time I saw him walk out of the house to meet the rest of the cast walking in (and that was like almost dark at 8 pm as I walked to the Wash Sports Club).
The stranger thing is I met two gay guys and a girl wearing similar glasses INSIDE IN THE DARK in the Russia House on the weekend prior to move in trying to claim it was because they were on the real world... maybe they knew somehow haha

OK I know it's lame to reply to my own post but a friend just texted me that the crew was filming inside my gym tonight... OK that's not cool. It's a small neighborhood gym and I don't need my sweaty *** on TV working off the 20 pounds I gained from Chipotle...

Mmmm Chipotle
Is it so small that it would be impossible to stay off camera?
[QUOTE=Stacee_Danielle;93902]Mmmm Chipotle

It's not THAT small - I mean it is the WSC Dupont but there is just one weight room and one cardio room. There is no room for a crew that doesn't block machines and that would annoy me. It's usually pretty crowded and has a mixed-fitness crowd unlike the supergay gyms like Results and Vida. I think a lot of the regulars would feel uncomfortable.
Besides, I don't like the idea of having to sign a waiver to use a PRIVATE club that already makes me pay $72.50 a month to get in (don't know if a waiver is required though)
[QUOTE=tjhallow;93908]Damn thats a lot of money, lol.[/QUOTE]
It's Dupont honey... that cute Real World House you see across from the WSC is tax assessed at almost $5M... ;)
As opposed to my 509 square foot condo which still cost as much as my sister's 4 bedroom house only 2 hours away... but i love Dupont and it's worth it :) Can't see myself living anywhere else!
