future Congressman and former lumberjack SEAN DUFFYKamila (wifey)Elka (wifey #2)some boring skater dudeSYRUS (aka total inspiration in that it was amazing that a dude who looked so much like a gummi bear could get so many chicks)

Oh yeah! I think that was one of my favorite seasons. Montana also had an awful bf named Vaj(???)
― MrDasher, Friday, 22 July 2011 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
And Sean married Rachel from the San Francisco season, right?
Was the skater the one who was related to Bill Clinton?

beat. or bested.
They've converted that firehouse they lived in into a rec center IIRC; I did a recording session in Church of the Advent, which is a block down the street, a few years ago and was going "why does this all look so familiar WAIT A SECOND THAT'S THE RW HOUSE" on my way there. It was a canny location; you can barely see the house at all from the main street but it's massively present and perfect for those sweeping exterior shots once you get on the side street.

I am late for the Beth portion of the thread, but I think I saw Beth from RW:LA in a TV commercial once. I don't remember what the commercial was for but I think she was one of a group of party guests (no lines or closeups). And do you remember there was an episode where she'd had headshots taken and they were really awful?

of course they were, they were pictures of her face

it seems like there were a lot more girls who looked like the girl in the upper-left in the '90s. did some sort of face-shape-change occur in 2000?

The orange-looking chick in the last one was this little blonde girl from my school. I think i saw her at a hockey game or two.

I found her very annoying-the orange chick that is. The other curly headed girl was also annoying.

Jamie was also in "Sucker Punch" and "The Hangover II", making her (I believe) the most successful RW actor alum

Hawaii was the last one I watched. I really disliked most of that cast. Matt (?) was such a scumbag. And that pretentious girl was really awful was well.

The days are long, the years are short.
Wasn't it the Chicago/Wicker Park year where there was finally the coordinated online effort to fuck with the house/cast since everybody knew where they were living?
― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
I think it was RealWorldSucks that started calling her (Kaia) K-A1-a, claiming she was a malfunctioning android
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
Andif I remember correctly her real name was Margaret and she started calling herself Kaia after a trip to Africa.

I remember thinking that had I lived in that house, I would have either pulled a Ruthie and drank myself into rehab or a Justin and attempted to make my roommates destroy each other
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
She seemed to really relish being mean to Amaya after Amaya did whatever she did that justified everyone being mean to her. And then she decided she "liked" Matt.
― MrDasher, Friday, 22 July 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
I remember Amaya saying some stupid shit about Ruthie at the beginning but watching her go from being "the vain popular girl" to "crying target of unearned ire" was really difficult to watch; Ruthie's behavior/support in the midst of all of that given the shit that happened earlier really made me love her more.

TECK IS HOSTING HOLE IN THE WALL NOW
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, Ruthie definitely ended up being the most admirable and likable of that cast. The others (except Teck, I think) were obviously enjoying ganging up on the weak one and being able to "justify" it.
