REAL WORLD TO DC?
Haha, no. But the show looks (again) like it may come to DC. Seems like every few years there is a rumor that the "reality" show--which had been around for 21(!) seasons-- will make it's way to the nation's capital. Who knows if we'll get he gig this time around. Maybe we'll lose out to Real World Louisville, or Real World Boise this time around. Who wouldn't want to have a chance to live with the likes of Tami "it wasn't not funny" Roman, Eric"the Grind" Nies, or Mike "yes, The Miz is his wrestling name" Mizanin. If the show does make it to DC I've got my money on Adams Morgan as the location. But what would the show look like? Hmmmm...(The 42 Bus)
