Chronology
Preceded by The Real World: Cancun
Followed by The Real World: New Orleans

The Real World: D.C.,[1] (also known as The Real World: Washington D.C.),[2] is the twenty-third season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships.[3][4] It is the fifth season of The Real World to be filmed in the Mid-Atlantic States region of the United States.

The season featured eight people who lived in a house in Dupont Circle. Washington, D.C. was officially announced as the location for the newest season on June 10, 2009.[5] Filming began on July 2, 2009[6][7][8] and completed on October 12, 2009. The season's December 30, 2009 premiere[9][10][11][12] was watched by 1.9 million viewers.[13] The March 31, 2010 season finale was watched by 1.1 million viewers, the record low at the time for a season finale of the The Real World.[14] The finale was immediately followed with a reunion special, The Real World: Washington D.C. Reunion. Overall the season averaged 1.5 million viewers a week[15] and consisted of 14 episodes.

According to MTV's President of Programming, Tony DiSanto, "The charged atmosphere of Washington D.C., the center of our country's social and political change, will provide an electric setting for this next season of The Real World. We are thrilled to be filming our classic franchise in the heart of where history is being made ... it adds a whole new dimension to the great characters and drama our viewers expect and love from The Real World." Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty welcomed the production, pointing to the impact of young people on the national scene.[3][16]

The Washington Capitals hockey team, singer Melissa Etheridge and Washington Post cartoonist Tom Toles make guest appearances this season, in which they interact with the cast. President Barack Obama also appears in two episodes in which cast member Andrew Woods, an aspiring cartoonist, attends a press conference with Washington Times senior correspondent Joe Curl as part of Woods' internship with the newspaper,[17] and when cast member and LGBT rights activist Mike Manning attends the October 10, 2009 Human Rights Campaign dinner at which Obama spoke.[18] Manning also meets with Congressman Jared Polis of Colorado and Congressman James P. Moran of Virginia during the course of his work for the HRC.

Season changes

As with The Real World: Brooklyn, the Washington, D.C. cast was not given a group assignment, and was free to pursue their own interests.[19] Various cast members are seen throughout the season pursuing both career opportunities[20][21] and participating in internships and charity work with local businesses and organizations.[22][23]

The residence

The Dupont Circle house where the cast resided

The cast members lived in a 10,800 ft2 (1,003 m2) house located at 2000 S Street, NW in Dupont Circle, a neighborhood known for its historic buildings, embassies, dining establishments, and its gay community.[24][25][26][27] The cast members' four-story brownstone mansion was originally constructed in 1891 for a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad executive, James Mosher, and his new wife, Minnie.[28] The building is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District and its property value is $5,692,000. It is now the permanent home of the Laogai Museum.[26][29]

Four building permits were issued in May 2009, including one for demolition of the interior walls.[26] Building plans show the first floor includes bedrooms, a game room, the Confessional, and a control room for the show's producers.[30] The second floor includes the common area, telephone room, kitchen, bathrooms, and five "love sacks".[31][32] The main control room is located on the home's third floor, while a conference room and offices are located on the fourth floor.[33]

Cast

As with the previous two seasons, the cast includes eight members.[3] Local bars that were used as frequent hangouts for cast members included Halo, located in nearby Logan Circle; Town Danceboutique, located in Shaw; and The Russia House, located one block west of the cast's house.[26][28][34] The cast also attended local sporting events, such as a D.C. United soccer games at RFK Stadium.[35]

Cast Member Age1 Hometown Biography
Andrew Stephen Woods[36][37][38] 21[37][39] Denver, Colorado[37][39] Andrew is a comic book creator[40] and painter[41] known for his politically incorrect comics, and for his tendency to provoke reactions from people, a trait that led to his being the only student, according to him, to be fired from Colorado State University's[40] school paper, The Rocky Mountain Collegian, whose staff felt he was intentionally trying to offend certain groups with his cartoons.[39] He has a younger brother named William, who visits in Episode 10. He chafes against authority, and as a result has been fired from every job that he's had. Having been dumped by his unfaithful girlfriend,[42][43] he intends to socialize with women in D.C. MTV describes him as "the annoying little brother that you love to hate, but secretly love."[43] Andrew, who states that he likes women who are "young, blonde and ditzy" (a preference that Callie and Ashley find distasteful), spends the first two thirds of the season unsuccessfully attempting to find sexual partners. He finds success in Episode 11 with a woman named Andrea, who causes him to reevaluate his casual approach to sex.[44] In explaining his distrust of women, he mentions that his mother cheated on his father, and that he regards her as an otherwise good parent.[45] Because of the panda hat he sometimes wears, he earns the nickname "Panda".[46] In the reunion show, Mike opines that Andrew was the cast member to undergo the greatest change.[47]
Ashley Lindley[36][37] 22[37][39] Houston, Texas[48] Ashley was born in Fort Bragg, California,[39] but moved to Houston to be closer to her now ex-boyfriend.[39] She detests Houston for its climate, culture and the ubiquity of Republicans.[48] Just before finding out that she was cast on The Real World, she modeled in a private test shooting for Playboy and was photographed by Mikki Chernoff.[49] She is of Portuguese descent, and is a caregiver and former delegate from Las Vegas, Nevada for Barack Obama in the 2008 United States presidential election.[39][50] As a child, she and her mother suffered violence at the hands of her stepfather, and does not have relationships with her family members, including her mother, who cut ties with Ashley a year and a half ago.[39] She now considers her closest friends to be her family, and hopes to add her housemates to that group.[51] She is a voracious reader and passionate debater whom MTV describes as possibly the most politically aware of the cast, with a "hot temper and a blunt demeanor" that manifests itself in discussions of politics and religion. She is also described as full of contradictions, as she is a tomboy who wears dresses, a liberal Episcopalian Christian who goes to church every Sunday, etc. She is newly single, and hopes to take advantage of this while in D.C.[39][50] She looks forward to traveling abroad one day, and does not find the prospect of a salaried office job appealing.[48]
Callie Marie Walker[36][37][38] 21[39][52] Huntsville, Texas[39][52] Callie is a small-town girl and aspiring photographer who endured living in warehouses and junkyards as a child. She has long-felt out of place in her conservative hometown[53] though she insists that she is conservative herself, and not a liberal.[39][54] She has an older brother named Cameron,[44] and a mother who is a personal trainer and aerobics instructor, which has contributed to her struggle with poor body image.[55] She hopes to find outlets for her creativity in D.C. that have thus far eluded her at home. She is a vegan whom MTV describes as a free-spirit.[53] After moving into the Real World house, Callie began working as an intern for the Washington Blade.[56]
Emily Norine Schromm[38][57] 20[39][58] Columbia, Missouri[39][59] Emily and her two older sisters, Michelle and Amy,[42] were raised in what she describes as an oppressive, "cult-like religion" in which she felt they were in danger of losing themselves. Since leaving that group at 13 or 14, she has tried to make up for lost time, engaging in activities from clubbing to rock climbing to target shooting.[39] She has developed a skepticism of religion that she shares with Ty, and an open-minded, "daredevil nature" with which searches for new experiences to broaden her horizons, an attitude that carries over to her dating habits. She is also described as an athletic tomboy who used sports to transition to a more secular life, of which her stay in D.C. is an example.[58] She has expressed an openness to the possibility of bisexuality,[42] though she concedes that she tends to push people away because of her commitment issues.[47] She immediately develops a sexual relationship with Ty,[60] though it soon ends, and their time together is marked by frequent conflict,[61] including physical confrontations.[62] She enjoys writing poetry,[41] yoga and football.[47]
Erika Lauren Wasilewski[36][37] 21[37][39] Chicago, Illinois[37][39] Erika is a singer, songwriter,[63] and guitarist[39] currently in a group called Hawkeye. An ardent lover of the rock lifestyle,[39] she likes to be the center of attention, both professionally and personally. She has a history of childhood loneliness and depression, and having successfully faced those challenges, her lingering need for affection is evident in her relationship with her boyfriend Ian, from whom separation is difficult while in D.C.[63] During the season, she expresses frustration and discomfort in regard to her musical plans, her recurring depression, and her presence in the house, though she regards Callie as her one true friend.[64] She eventually moves out in Episode 12.[21]
Josh Colon[36][37] 23[37][39] Philadelphia, Pennsylvania[36][37][39] Josh is a Puerto Rican/Italian singer/songwriter/dancer from South Philadelphia, specializing in glam rock, rap, and punk-funkadelic music.[39][65] He used to be the lead singer in a band called Whiskey Livin', and is currently working on a solo project.[37] He dropped out of high school twice and was jailed due to a prior association with gangs he says he longer harbors.[39][54] He likes to dress well, and is described as a quintessential ladies' man, though he concedes that his attraction to women is his main weakness, which may make it difficult to stay faithful to his girlfriend of three years,[66] Ashley.[65] After moving into the Real World house, Josh began working part-time as a bartender in Georgetown.[37] He also forms a band while in DC named Wicked Liquid. He is very close to his family, which includes a younger brother named Dante, and a mother whose coming out as bisexual helps Josh understand what Mike goes through. Although he hopes to be the front man in a rock band, he also entertains the possibility of being a screenwriter or actor.[23] The cast comes to perceive Josh as sometimes exhibiting vanity with the persona that he projects. In the reunion special, Ashley refers to his "peacockishness", and Mike observes that there is a "Hollywood Josh" and a "Regular Josh", and that Josh sometimes does not realize when he is exhibiting the former.[47]
Mike Manning[36][37] 22[37][39] Thornton, Colorado[39][67] Mike is a former star high school athlete and prom king, regarded as popular with girls and a "golden child" from a conservative Christian family.[68] Describing himself as "a pile of contradictions",[67] for the past several years he has questioned his sexual orientation and recently came out as bisexual, causing conflict with some of his loved ones. He came to D.C. to be an environmentalist, but unexpectedly became an activist for LGBT rights as well, working for the Human Rights Campaign and the Energy Action Coalition.[69] MTV indicates that his time in D.C. will mark a turning point for him and the question of whether his family will accept his sexuality.[68] Like Ashley, he goes to church every Sunday, providing common ground through which he hopes to bond with her when they first meet in the premiere,[39] though he also sees local men,[42] and pines for Tanner, his ex-boyfriend back home.[20] He has a brother named Jonathan and a sister named Alyssa.[70] His father, Mike Sr., visits in Episode 14.[41] Although he is bisexual, he explains in the reunion show that he predominantly saw men during his time in the house because bringing men back home is not something he was previously able to do.[47] He is concerned that being gay means his ability to one day get married "under God" may be in doubt.[23]
Tyrell "Ty" Ruff[36][37][71] 22[36][37][39][71] Baltimore, Maryland[36][37][39][71] After being abandoned by his parents, Ty lived in a series of foster homes before being adopted at age five.[39] He and his brother[47] grew up in a neighborhood he says is accurately depicted in the TV series The Wire, which includes, for example, a former crack house across the street from his home. He describes his mother's shame when he was caught stealing as a turning point in his life, when he decided to change his ways and become the "focused, well-spoken" person he is today. Although he is grateful for what he gained during his religious upbringing in the United Church of Christ, he is now an atheist who thinks most believers in God are "narrow-minded".[39] Described as self-reliant by MTV, he is a recent graduate of Trinity College, where he majored in economics and played football. He is also described as opinionated, and a "smooth, funny charmer", but whose temper sometimes gets the best of him. His girlfriend of three years, Lauren,[55] broke up with him prior to filming because she could not accept his co-ed living arrangements in the Real World house, a status cemented when he informs her he has begun a sexual relationship with Emily.[60] That relationship, however, is brief, and devolves into recurring conflict,[61] which partially leads to a house meeting over his behavior when intoxicated.[62] He has described encountering opposition from family members of non-African-American women he has dated in the past.[23]

It was hosted by Maria Menounos, and featured the entire cast, as they discussed the various aspects of their relationships during filming, and their lives after filming ended.
