For Real World fanatics, an extremely special event was held in University Hall last Tuesday. As Real World cast members Colie Edison, Jenn Grijalva, Alex Smith and Dunbar Flinn relaxed in four comfy green chairs across the stage; eager students took pictures, asked questions and sat on the edge of their seats throughout the entire event.
The crowd interaction was far from mediocre. Real World: Denver cast member Edison actively encouraged the question-and-answer session, and it seemed that no student's question was ignored or avoided.
The cast reminisced about their experiences while living under the rules and regulations of MTV. Aside from the in-house drama, cast members vented about how annoying the microphones became over time. In addition to this, they also described the unavoidable cameras around every corner.
Nicole Pica, president of College Life Union Board, also in charge of organizing the Real World speakers, explained the itinerary that consisted of clip segments of memories, a question-and-answer session and, finally, autographs and pictures for anxious fans. Pica explained that every year, Real World speakers come to the University around Homecoming, and this year was no different. Pica also claimed that the event was set up for approximately 500 people to attend, all of whom were required to get wristbands and stamps upon entering at 8 p.m.
The cast members were far from acting shy. They casually and willingly held conversations with the students of Montclair. Regarding whether Grijalva or Edison was a better kisser, Smith said, "When thinking back to that, I just think about how lucky I was to have even hooked up with two girls as hot as they are!"
Jokes were cracked, laughter reigned throughout and smiles were glued on all faces. Each cast member explained his or her interesting story, describing how they discovered Real World sign-ups and continued to describe the long processes from there. Edison wanted to make it clear to all viewers that "it is 100 percent real, but you see the condensed version!"
