What do cast members of "The Real World" do after "The Real World"?

(Okay, so I'm not really keeping to the thread topic. I did try to get Melissa from NO and Arrissa from LV to post here but they weren't havin' it (ie they did not return my vaguely stalkerish emails).)

Actually, Lindsey from Seattle was relatively well-adjusted aside from the understandable anguish at having one of her best friends kill himself while she was on the show. Kat from London was also very, very normal.

I saw Irene from Seattle on the bus several years ago and she was AMAZINGLY STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS in person.

I really loved every minute of it. And it had such a great villain in scarybadbeatpoetrygirl.

Favorite cast assembly of all time -- the original one, i.e. NYC #1. The most likeable grouping of individuals the show has ever gathered. L.A. and SF were pretty close but hindered by that "hysterical girl who levied false rape charges thus setting back the cause for rape victim advocates the country over" and... Puck. Puck, who could only ever be hygienic if he were boiled alive. Puck, who wanted to be punk but ended up being lame and crude and ridiculous.

*ahem* Anyway. But I stopped paying attention after London ended. And, what do you know, Jacinda from London's now a Big Movie Star (with a featured role in Ladder 49)! So....

btw "karamo" has become anti-gay slang! like if someone pats your ass during a sport and you say... oh, what up karamo!!! take it easy, karamo. i dont roll like that, karamo. im straight, karamo. im hoping to spread "no karamo" as a replacement for no homo.

Michelle from RR2 (I think, it was the one the Christian was on) died in her second drunk-driving accident. She was a former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader who was bulemic on the show but so good at hiding it that her castmates AND the editors didn't know until she came back for a challenge and spilled the beans.

Eric made decent money but he gave it to an "accountant" who then ran very far away and left him to eke out a living by appearing on challenges with a jumprope.

For serious? David was built.

David was an innkeeper at an inn when we meet we dated on and off for a year. I am now 5 months pregnant with his child and he has decided to not be a part of the babies life.... so i don't know of his whereabout as of now? He has disappeared... so if anyone has seen him please let me know, so i know for my babies sake.

i see some campaign materials in my neighborhood in brooklyn.

there was a big feature about this in esquire a few issues back

really appreciate the jew silhouette in the logo

real world las vegas was great but i have a special place in my heart for real world denver. mostly because that brooke chick was batshit psycho.

i wonder what happens to those "shot at love" contestants after they humilate themselves by getting ridiculous "tila tequila" tattoos and then getting kicked off the same night.

Kevin Powell from season 1 is running for CONGRESS!

Kevin Powell is widely considered one of America’s most important voices in these early years of the 21st century. Legendary feminist Gloria Steinem asserts that "as a charismatic speaker, leader, and a very good writer, Kevin Powell has the courage...to be fully human, and this will bring the deepest revolution of all." Internationally acclaimed scholar and social critic Dr. Michael Eric Dyson has called Powell "a mighty wind of fresh air." And of Kevin Powell, the writer asha bandele says, "When you consider the intelligence and breadth of Kevin Powell’s writing and activism, you come to the conclusion that there may be no better spokesperson and representative for a generation that has too long been counted out."

Kevin Powell is a political activist, poet, journalist, essayist, hiphop historian, public speaker, and entrepreneur. A product of extreme poverty, welfare, fatherlessness, and a single mother-led household, he is a native of Jersey City, New Jersey and was educated at New Jersey’s Rutgers University. Kevin Powell is a longtime resident of Brooklyn, New York, and it is from his base in New York City that Powell has published seven books, including his current title, Someday We’ll All Be Free (Soft Skull Press). This new book is a collection of provocative essays on freedom, democracy, justice, and race in America, as inspired by Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 presidential election, and September 11th. Powell is set to publish two books in 2008, No Sleep Till Brooklyn, his second volume of poetry; and The Black Male Handbook: A Blueprint for Life. Additionally, Powell is at work on his childhood memoir, homeboy alone, slated for 2010, and The Kevin Powell Anthology (2011), which will highlight the first twenty-five years of his literary career. Indeed, he has written numerous essays, articles, and reviews through the years for publications such as Esquire, Newsweek, The Washington Post, Essence, Rolling Stone, The Amsterdam News, and Vibe, where he was a founding staff member and served as a senior writer, interviewing and profiling, among many others, General Colin Powell and the late Tupac Shakur. Most recently Powell has been a Writing Fellow for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, as well as a Phelps Stokes Fund Senior Fellow. And Powell is currently a 2008 Democratic candidate for the United State Congress in Brooklyn, New York (www.kevinpowellforcongress.org).

A gifted and highly sought after public speaker, Powell has lectured on multiculturalism, building corporate responsibility, American and Black American history, the life of Dr. King, civil rights, American politics and civic engagement, sexism from a male perspective, leadership, social activism, the state of hiphop, redefining American manhood, and being Black and male in America, among other topics, at hundreds of colleges and universities, community centers, prisons, religious institutions, conferences, and festivals, as well as in corporate settings. Furthermore, Kevin Powell routinely offers his insights on a variety of matters, to TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, and internet outlets in America, and abroad.

A fixture on the pop culture landscape the past several years, Powell was a cast member on the first season of MTV’s "The Real World"; hosted and produced programming for HBO and BET; written a screenplay; hosted and wrote an award-winning MTV documentary about post-riot Los Angeles; and was the Guest Curator of the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s "Hip-Hop Nation: Roots, Rhymes, and Rage"—which originated at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, and of which Powell was the exhibition consultant—the first major exhibit in America on the history of hiphop.

Of paramount importance to Kevin Powell, however, is his activism. He has been a leader in some form or fashion for over twenty years, dating back to his days as a teenager at Rutgers University. He was a participant in the student-led anti-apartheid movement, the drive to end racism in South Africa. He has been at the forefront of police brutality and racial bias cases. He has worked for years around voting rights. Powell is one of the most prominent voices in the hiphop generation, and he has organized a number of concerts, mc battles, rallies, and forums that stress the use of hiphop as a tool for social change. As a result of his own past personal struggles, contradictions, growth, and a commitment to therapy and healing, Kevin has become a very outspoken critic of violence against women and girls, of violence in general, and he has been at the forefront of the movement to redefine American manhood away from sexism and violence. Powell also plays a key role in the Black male development arena, having produced, the past few years, among other things, a 10-city State of Black Men Tour, numerous Black male think tank sessions, and Black and Male in America, a 3-Day national conference (www.blackandmaleinamerica.org). Powell has taught, mentored, and counseled in schools, camps, prisons, and on the streets of urban America. He produces an annual holiday party and clothing drive every December in New York City that benefits the needy. And Powell was a central figure in Gulf Coast disaster relief efforts, facilitating the delivery of goods and services to the affected regions, and being a cofounder of "Katrina on the Ground," an initiative that sent over 700 college students to work in the devastated region.

Of his life work Kevin Powell says, simply, "My life-calling is to be a servant for the people, period. Money, fame, status, personal achievements, and all that means very little to me when pain and suffering are still real on this planet. I am interested in the powerless becoming powerful."

somehow I can't imagine anyone from any of the last, say, 15 seasons of the real world going on to do this

I think Trishelle has Senate potential.

The lack of Eric Nies jokes is disappointing.

Blair from RW: The Quest is now an occasional host on G4; I saw him subbing for Morgan Webb on X-Play a few weeks ago.

Yeah, he also seems to have taken over Layla Kayleigh's spot on the AOTS podcast. Unfortunately.
