Sacramento gets Real (again)

Posted August 2, 2007 at 8:01 AM by RonTopofIt in Arts & Entertainment, Local Celebs, Local Nooz, Television (9 comments)

I am not sure how I missed this one (oh, that’s right, I had no idea the show was still on television), but the 38th installment of MTV’s “The Real World” will feature a local gal by the name of Shauvon. Fans of the show might put together that this marks the second consecutive season of the show featuring a Sacramento native. Not to mention the 29th cycle of American’s Next Top Model which included yet another River City product.

So, rather than go on and on about how lame The Real World is or how they simply cast the same “characters” each season, I want to know what you think about Sacramento’s knack for producing reality show contestants. Are we just so diverse and cultured that we can’t help but kick out well rounded, dynamic individuals? Or perhaps our town is just now moving into the mainstream of hip?

How says you, Sacramento?

Awesome. Her description:

“Shauvon is more than just a buxom blonde bombshell; she is also an intellectual sex columnist for Sacramento State University’s newspaper.”

What? She’s more than just sexy? She also writes and thinks about being sexy? This season of the real world is going to be so fun and sexy!

Makes me wonder if that is how she describes her self…hmm how would I describe my self…

Basuraman is not only a dumpy dark haired slob, he also can’t spell and is a philistine.

Now what is more sexy than that!!!

i think the “bird lady” would be great on a reality show. you know, give some of the downtown crazies a chance to shine. if you don’t know who bird lady is she is mrs walley. she walk arouns downtown talking to and blessing trees. she’s nice enough, but will also curse you if you cross her or get too close. we call her the bird lady when i worked at the weatherstoneand she would sit inside and make pigeon noises…really well too! we actually searched around for a bird until we saw her making the noises. strange lady.

don’t forget about Dominic “D-Trix” Sandoval, who is in the elite eight on What Makes You Think You Can Dance…

i never realized how hilarious that should could be… in olden times if you danced like that i think they’d burn you as a witch…

i figure reality show casting people want middle America types, and maybe more people from Sacramento are interested in giving away their eternal souls than people in Omaha or Council Bluffs.

TP, does the bird lady wear bright pink lipstick and multiple coats? And by curse at you do you mean scream bloody murder until you freak out and run away?

“Raised primarily by her controlling mother, Shauvon was pressured to have her ambitions and goals intricately planned out. This often resulted in Shauvon putting her mother’s happiness before her own. Tired of being told what to do, she recently broke off her engagement to a man who forced her to choose between a career and him. Although she knows she made the right decision, the wound is still raw.”

Obviously a psychology major. the s***’s gonna hit the fan on TV, why ruin it before the show’s even started? now there’s no reason to watch. tragedy.

Why didn’t they just put “Daddy Issues” and leave it at that?

There’s also a beatboxer named Butterscotch who’s from Davis who’s in the Top 10 at America’s Got Talent. Haven’t heard anything about her anywhere…where’s the love for a local?
