The Denver Drunk-o's? - TVgasm

by B-Side

denver

MTV announced today that Denver will be the next home of the veteran reality show, The Real World, and no one could be more excited than Denver's own mayor, John Hickenlooper, who said, "This is a tremendous opportunity for Denver to showcase our cultural and recreational vibrancy to a very large, young audience." Yes, because if Real World casts are known for one thing, it's partaking in the rich, cultural heritage of their surroundings.

Meanwhile, Lois Curren, head of series entertainment at MTV says that "Denver has absolutely everything we could hope for -- diversity, activities, energy and nightlife. We're sure that the character and spirit of this picturesque city will be endlessly compelling to the seven roommates and audience alike." Well, if the "character and spirit of this picturesque city" somehow involves excessive alcohol intake and frivolous spats, then yes, sounds like a perfect match!

if anyone does more than hang out in their house, this could be great. i love denver and it would be totally fun to get kind of a ski bum type coming down from aspen or vail.

but it will probaby be people at the "altitude sick chicken" being drunk.

Really, Real Worlders just need a place with enough bars. Actually, considering the Austin cast, a city with just one bar would do. I mean this show has been in Paris and London and we didn't see the kids doing anything even remotely cultural. The producers might as well go Big Brother and just lock them in a house with plenty of booze and let the bitchfest begin.

Well, this sucks. Denver is indeed a great city. Or it was when I lived there. But it seems like every year more asswipes move there, and now MTV will be filming one giant ad that will be seen by a generation of more asswipes.

The Svan thinks MTV should consider a small town Real World. It would completely fuck up the cast and might make for some great TV.

It would at least be a bit different than the formula they have followed for the past 12 years or whatever it is.

I am freaking out. I'm so gonna get on the show. I'm gonna hook up with the hot guy in the house just so it will be broadcast on national TV.

Way to dream big there DasBabe. Way to set your goal of being a slut on national TV. Your parents must be very, very proud.

B-Side,

I'm glad that you're exposing, "Slap the Bag" to the rest of the world. For those of you who don't know (I imagine anyone outside the confines our our school), Slap the Bag consists of taking the bag out of a box of wine, holding it over people's heads, opening the spigot, having the person chug, and then slapping the bag as hard as they can. Just because.

Things are pretty boring at our school...

The Svan would say so. Get out when you can.

The Svan, that's a genius idea. I would definitely tune in for a small town Real World.

"Wait, you mean we have to go two towns over to find a bar?" Sounds like my kind of entertainment.

Only problem with a small town real world is that they might have to drive to bars. Then we would see episode after episodes of DUI arrests.

Small town real world could be fun if it was somewhere really pretty or where they had to do outdoorsey stuff.

How about "dead steel town" like Syracuse or Pittsburgh or some place? That would be funny. Going for shots of Jagermeister at the American Legion.

denver? BLARF.
well predictably they are renovating an old restaurant in LoDo which is adjacent to a stretch of bars. go figure huh?

i think they should have moved it up the road to boulder, which is a definitive college town and more outdoorsy than denver.

heck, why not bring it an hour south and set up here in beautiful colorado springs? i'm sure focus would lurv that.

real world: c.springs would be amazing, especially if they all got jobs at the focus visitor center and lived in tract housing. at least denver gives jash a chance to stalk the housemates and get some camera time.

Real World: Memphis...I can see it now...they go to Beale Street and get plastered. They lose direction and end up in Arkansas or something. Better yet, as they walk down the street toward the river...they trip on the cobblestone street and roll into the Mississippi. Sweet justice.

And if they didn't die that way, one of them would get mugged or killed on the way to the Real World house...

C'mon MTV!

haha, my "slap the bag" friends are denver drunk-o's. I love it.

I don't understand why they haven't shot a Real World in DC. Its the nation fricken capital and they could sooo get jobs as Interns in the whitehouse or for a Senator or something. Sooo many bars/clubs. Come on...someone tell me that its a bad idea and I will stop!

What's kind of funny/sad is I was brainstorming places the real world could film the next few seasons yesterday. I thought if they'd do colorado it would be in boulder. I also thought DC would be a good choice.
