Oh for the love of Pete. We Love DC caught this post over at Reality Blurred that Bunim-Murray, the producers of the Real World, have started seeking production assistants in the area in earnest (unlike earlier this year, when they were only searching for a production accountant, they're now seeking a slew of people who know the city and can work with camera crews). As they note, unless they're looking to produce a brand new series, it looks like the rumor mill about a Real World season finally happening in D.C. is about to kick into high gear. Between Blonde Charity Mafia, Real Housewives of D.C., and the friggin' Real World (not to mention a new Owen Wilson film that's scheduled to being filming in June, partly in the District), it looks like we won't be able to swing a jumbo slice without hitting a camera crew.

Please God, don't let Bunim Murray decide they want the Real World house anywhere near the Cleveland or Woodley Parks. I don't wanna be forced to move because I was arrested for chokin' bitches in my neighborhood. Again.
am i missing something here? why is it a bad thing to have trashy DC women on the ol' tube, especially if i get to hook up with them in a waterbed threesome/foursome?
Does anyone know of a site that tracks filming in the district and provides somewhat specific times/ locations? Something more specific than 'X movie will film in DC in June'. Just curious...
employment ads for a camera crew and PAs were listed on entertainmentcareers.net in April and early May, with the positions starting about now. How can no one have seen the house by now?
How has Monkey not made a Graham/Jumbo Slice comment yet?
Clearly, none of these shows is geared toward the Jumbo Slice set. Now if you had a show like, say, "The Real Legal Secretaries of Herndon" or "Backwards Baseball Cap Date Rape Mafia," or even "Untitled Owen Wilson Rom Com That Will Make Audience Vomit With Rage," I would be the first to demand that Jim Graham pull their production license. For the good of the children, that is.
I sincerely doubt many of Herndon's secretaries make it as far afield as Jumbo Slice on a weekend night. The Real World Herndon would largely focus on such hotspots as the Yogen Fruz at Reston Town Center and the place at Clock Tower with the Indian food.

I hereby petition DCist to dedicate a reporter to "Entertainment" news here in the District. I want someone on the streets, reporting the filming shenanigans as they happen! Photos! Video! Seriously, these shows are a potential smorgasboard of delicious ridiculousness. DCist can't sit on its pajama-wearing butt and report from other news sources on this one. CARPE DIEM!
Hmmmm! The house may be in Mount Pleasant. Saw some real trippy hipster youths being filmed on a front steps of a house yesterday.
PS - I must inquire of Overtheriver whether there are any retarded monkeys on The Real World.
Sorry. Blond Charity Mafia got them all. And union rules forbid them from importing monkeys (retarded or otherwise). There's Socialism for you.
Makes sense. White women from Georgetown = obviously racist socialists.
No, no, no. It's the union monkeys that are the socialists. And most production company chimps are independent contractors. If only they'd let the market decide how many retarded monkeys these shows need, and how many bananas they should be paid, the "invisible hand" of Capitalism would lift all boats and throw poo at the same time. Ayn Rand spelled all this out clearly years ago in her seminal book, "Bonzo Shrugged."
Thanks for clarifying.
White women from Georgetown = racist socialites
Union monkeys = racist socialists
Maybe if that invisible hand of yours spent more time punishing leveraged investment banks and less time up Ayn Rand's skirt, we could have predicted the current economic mess. Honestly, macroeconomics is like witchcraft without the cool costumes.
Having the Real World here is giving us the greatest entertainment and city unifying event ever. No city pulls together harder when they are despising 8 strangers being filmed. DCist shall have a daily update with pictures and new bounties updated regularly. YES WE CAN! When they look back at Real World DC I want people to say, “Wow they really hated those people”.
See my comment, supra. ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
Isn't it 7 strangers or have I gotten really out of touch with the youth of today and the bipping and the bopping and the hipping and the hopping?
They bumped it to 8. Yes I watch it.
It's been years since I've watched this shite, but doesn't the Black dude always get kicked out of the house by the third episode? Kinda like the dude in the away team who's wearing the red shirt always gets killed by the monster on Star Trek?
Great, a Real Housewives and a Real World? What's next, a Bad Girls Club? Excuse me, I have to go be sick. Twice.
I'm still trying to get a development deal for "The Real Househusbands of NoMa." It's basically just twenty minutes of raw, surveillance cam footage of a buncha guys banging their au pairs and the Guatemalan maid in lime green stretchpants. Unfortunately, the project languishes in "development hell" (a.k.a., Jim Graham's seersucker slacks).
Now that's just nasty.
You're absolutely right. I went too far there. I had no reason to mention Jim Graham's pants.
Now I've got this picture in my mind of those JUMBO PIZZA stained pants standing on their own while he tries to scrub away his sins in Fenty's guest shower.
I'll take a million of these so-called "reality" shows, if I can make a trade.
DC Reality TV, straight up, for the elimination (by any means) of any and all employees of TMZ, in the District.
That's fair, right?
We need a MTV that stands for Middle-Aged Television and a Real Real World show that features real middle-aged people going through the pains of middle age,obesity,balding,the lack of casual sex,and GINGERVITIS!
I'm sitting in my cube now, about to fall asleep because of a hotdog induced food coma.
Want to come film the excitement?
You could use the footage for sweeps week... will he fall asleep or wont he?!?!?!?
Are you wearing a MU-MU?
All I want to know is... Is Puck and Pedro's ghost going to make an appearance on this Real World?
They did last season. (I wish I was joking)
I hope one of the housemates is a CHUD.
You bet your sweet bippy they'll be a CHUD. All that money that was donated to the SAVE A CHUD FOUNDATION will not go to waste. I can't wait to see me a CHUD in High definition.
Especially a female CHUD with those classic JUNK-IN-THE-TRUNK features that give those Taiwan TRANNIES a run for their money.
As the Bible is also the prankster's bible, our nation's capital will become our nation's capital of VD.
oy, i'm just hoping we can keep them confined to adams morgan. best if the damage is limited in scope...
The only problem with them living in Adams Morgan is that it could only be an 8 week show.
Week 1: The gang meet each other for the first time. Someone in the house gets shot.
Week 2: There is a budding romance between Sandi and Trevor. Someone in the house gets shot.
Week 3: Madison and Umbutto get in a food fight at Jumbo Slice. Someone in the house gets shot.
Meanwhile, I strange mysterious rash appears on one of the room mates. He or she doesn't know it, but they are allergic to CHUD splooge.
I propose they do a Real World Dcist
Week 1: Martin changes his tune after NewHCE and Timmeroo defend the house against home invaders
Week 2: WizzyLiz's predilection for the Yunguns triggers a visit from MPD.
Week 3: The gang holds an intervention for Deep, whom they find face down in the basement licking Jumbo Slice plates.
Week 4: Monkey's non-stop arcane references threaten to tear the house apart.
When they film my scene, I want them to do it like the final scene in 'The Blair Witch Project' where the camera falls on the ground and it shows me in the corner losing my religion and licking a slice of JUMBO PIZZA.
Can I be the invader?
you forgot what else would happen in week 2—show canceled because, unfortunately, no one is watching.
