Usually, The Real World gives us lots of fake boobies in hot tubs. This year, they tried to do things a little differently. Sure, we got our fake boobies, but instead of floating in the hot tub every single day they were scrunched into prom dresses behind a secretary's desk (Devyn). We even had boobies brought to us by hormone pills (Katelynn/Rick) and lots of working out (Scott).

Another twist this season was in the romance department. There was love, but not the usual "we're on a show so let's try not not make this serious" screw and bail. This time, it was between a Mormon with extremely bad hair and bow ties and a young Army boy who writes songs about tampons. As the Real World comes to a close this week, we'd like to take a little time to pay tribute to one of the gayest straight couples to grace our TVs since Miami Vice.

Well, sort of. In her own words: "I'm definitely venturing toward my lesbian qualities."

Coral raised eyebrows with an apparent relationship with the male Abram Boise on Road Rules: South Pacific, but though they shared a long kiss when he was voted off, Coral later she'd claimed they faked an affair to make good television.

Coral spoke with Outlook magazine during a recent "Gay Day" appearance at Paramount's Great America theme park near San Francisco and as far as we can tell said she's going out with women now. Our favorite quote from the interview is her answer to the question: "Why do you think you were picked for The Real World?"

Frankie, a memorable castmate from MTV's The Real World: San Diego back in 2004, and the first Real World star to die since AIDS hero Pedro Zamora thirteen years ago, suffered from cystic fibrosis, and that's what her family thinks killed her at 25. But the medical examiner hasn't yet determined the cause (Frankie was a "hard liver" who was found dead in her mother's house eight days ago).

Frankie's hour-long memorial service was a rock 'n' roll affair...
