Did you ever know anyone that starred on Reality TV show?

[SeeDisney]

HI DIS friends,


I just checked out The Bachelor preview and the next Surivor episodes and again I don't know any of the players from my yesteryears.

I sometimes wonder if I ever get to see that someone I onced knew from my past.

Do you ever know anyone that appeared on a reality show?

some girl I graduated High School with was on Fear Factor a couple of years ago.

but what made her more famous was 3 months later when she assaulted a police officer and was arrested.

A girl in my grade from high school was on Big Brother...that's my claim to fame

Sorta, they are both sorta 6 degrees type things. I know people who know and have been in large social situations with a girl that was on The Bachelor. I don't think she got very far. i forgot the second one. A survivor contestant works for DHs company so he's familiar with her through conferences and the like.

I do have a friend who is currently in talks to be in a reality show. The show is still being pitched to networks but if a channel picks it up she'll do it.

A guy from my high school class was a cast member on the Real World Boston.

A guy from my high school class was a cast member on the Real World Boston.

Ooooh, I love RW -- which guy, if I may inquire? David? Nate? Stephen?

Let's see:

A girl that I went to Jr high and HS with was on Montel (I missed that episode but everyone in town seemed to see it) for one of their 'my family hates my bf' shows

Another girl that I went o HS with was on Ricky Lake (started as an audience member but was then taken to the street so that her friend could beg people to date her.), for one of their 'i'm look like freak' shows

A former co-worker of my DH was on Survivor a few seasons back

A six degrees of separation one. My SIL best friends exhusband was on Bridezilla's when he wed his 2nd wife

A good friend of mine was on The Price is Right, and actually won a few prizes.

I went to college with one of the "hunks" from Average Joe 2, Michael C. He lived on my dorm floor my freshman year.

My sister went to grade school with Raj from the Apprentice

My other sister is friends with one of the bachelors from when Jen was the bachelorette. I forget his name but he was the pycho one. At least he was portrayed that way. My sister said he said it was mostly the editing. He really liked Jen.


Edit: Just looked up his name - Stu

Ooooh, I love RW -- which guy, if I may inquire? David? Nate? Stephen?

David, Nate and Stephen were in Seattle...sorry! The guys in Boston were Sean, Syrus and Jason.

...just a friendly correction from your resident closet Real World fan...

One on my co workers was on Fear Factor the first season. And one of my husbands co workers was asked to be on the last apprentice, but she turned it down.

We know a girl who was on the Bachelor. She is an actress and said alot of other actresses were using that show for exposure. It seemed to work for her, we saw her in a film a few weeks ago!

A kid I graduated HS with was on Fear Factor. He won 50,000. Less than a year later his family hit the lotto for a few million

I just heard a neigbor of mine will be on the show room raiders but I havent seen it yet.

I can't wait to see what other responses this thread gets. I've never known anyone on a reality show.

I'd have to do the so-and-so knows thing. My dad did graduate w/ a guy that was on Survivor. He says they didn't really ever talk though. It was all over the local papers when he was on. It was 3-4 seasons ago.

My sister has met the new Bachelor. The move in the same circles.

 

[wvjules]

I dated a guy who was on Elmidate (a few years before he was on the show.) I knew exactly which girl he'd pick too. lol

 

[liamsaunt]

I worked with a guy who appeared on an MTV reality show--I can't remember the name--Fear, I think. Not fear factor though. This was some years ago.

I went to college with Jerry Springer - does that count? I really didn't know him - he was a total nerd, but some of my friends who did know him said that he was constantly begging them to fix him up with dates.

I need to get on one of these, LOL.
