A (Not So) Fond Farewell: The 13 Real World Cast Members Who've Been Evicted
Parting is such sweet sorrow…unless you cause some serious mayhem in
The Real World home, in which case parting is production-mandated expulsion.
Since Season 2 of
Real World, which chronicled David Edwards’ removal from the
Los Angeles residence for bad behavior, MTV’s longest-running reality show has — every right now and again — been forced to send certain cast members residence on early flights. While some roommates have left on their own accords (
Seattle noticed Irene leaving amid her Lyme Infection struggles, Lauren left
Ex-Plosion soon after discovering she was pregnant), others haven’t had any choice in the matter, and whether blowing-up, failing drug tests or simply pissing each person off were catalysts, nearly 15 Real World recruits have been shown the door across 33 seasons.
And on the finale of
Real World: Atlanta, Clint sadly added to the expanding list. Immediately after being involved in a few conflicts by way of the season (one, with Dondre, was physical), failing to honor his promise to drink much less and, finally, sneaking away from production late at night on his birthday, Clint forced production’s hand, and was banished, although the casts’ last day in the residence was just around the corner.
“I didn’t wish to be that guy, although you sort of can’t help you are,” Clint lamented.
Evictions definitely aren’t the most stimulating collective
Real World legacy, although they’ve proven to be a staple, nonetheless. Check out every cast member who’s been kicked off the show below, and, right now that the Atlanta finale has aired, share your thoughts on the season!
David (Los Angeles)
The standup comedian pushed his roommates’ buttons by nature, nevertheless things finally went also far if he ripped a comforter off of a nearly nude Tami, setting into motion a blow-up from which he couldn’t recover. David’s expulsion definitely wasn’t the fieriest in series history, however at least he has difference the qualities of the initial forced removal.
Puck (San Francisco)
In the pantheon of banished Real World housemates, Puck has the honor of being the only one booted for being also annoying. He constantly attempted to get a rise out of his roommates, played practical jokes that went way also far and was — according to his fellow
San Francisco cast members — also disgusting to be around. Puck is a
Real World legend of sorts, though more for notoriety than merit.
Trisha (Sydney)
Trisha, a self-proclaimed devout Christian, seemed to forget the religious values of peacemaking while in her Sydney stay, and consistently caused fights with Parisa. Finally, once she used physical force to push Parisa down, production gave Parisa the choice of letting Trisha stay, or sending her residence. “Have a safe flight!” Earmarked Parisa’s eventual choice.
Greg (Hollywood)
Aspiring model and entertainer Greg hardly made the most of his possibilities in Hollywood, and was consistently late or absent for his training at the legendary Groundlings improv theater. Finally, the comedy outfit let him go and, as production warned termination would mean expulsion from the show, also, Greg was forced to mention see-ya to the City of Angels.
Joey (Cancun)
As was the case with Greg, Joey’s
Real World troubles stemmed from issues at work, and while he failed to show up a handful of times for shifts with tourism sort StudentCity, he was let go, and, afterward, booted from the series.
Ryan (Back to New Orleans)
Like Puck, Ryan faced
Real World expulsion not for uncensored fighting or trouble at work, although for more general, constant trouble-making and disrespect to the crew and his fellow cast members (who could forget any time whenever he showed up to a drug abuse education class with a beer in his hand?).
Adam (Back to Las Vegas)
Staying out of trouble is no easy feat any time your host metropolis is aptly named Sin City. Yet Adam tested the limits a little bit also much on
Real World’s second Las Vegas season, and immediately after numerous warnings from production to cut the crap with drunken, aggressive behavior, Adam was forced to money in his chips and head home.
Brandon (St. Thomas)
It was clear from the opening beginning day of filming that something was a little off about Brandon, who regularly seemed disoriented and depressed. And, partway via season, viewers discovered why: While Brandon claimed to have been sober for months, a spot drug test revealed that he’d been doing coke, and his drug use spelled the end of his live in paradise.
Ashley (Ex-Plosion)
Ashley’s removal from the
Ex-Plosion home was definitely unique. The San Francisco local loved to party, although her drunken antics speedily wore down her roommates, who complained to a recalcitrant Ashley that she began also several arguments and rubbed people the incorrect way. Ashley attempted to prepare a point by giving her roommates the choice of letting her stay or sending her residence, and, to her surprise, they called her bluff, and issued her a pink slip.
CeeJai and Jenna (Go Big or Go Home)
Jenna, one of the series’ most controversial cast members, alarmed her fellow housemates and viewers with her racist and homophobic views. Finally, immediately after nearly fighting Kailah, pushing CeeJai to the ground and consistently threatening more harm, Jenna pushed CeeJai past the point of no return, and CeeJai pummeled Jenna. Both cast members were sent home.
Theo and Peter (Bad Blood)
When they mentioned
Bad Blood, they definitely weren’t kidding: While Theo was a fan-favorite from the starting of the show, and seemed like the nicest guy in town, the introduction of his cousin — with whom he shared a tense past — halfway via season unearthed Theo’s darker side. Finally, whenever he began a fight with Kassius, the bad blood had officially boiled over, and Theo was sent home.
Later on in the season, Peter, another
Bad Blood mid-season addition, revolted his fellow cast members any time once he started to verbally antagonize Jennifer, a fellow cast member whom Peter had begun dating. Soon after instigating several fights and distributing a series of threats, Peter was ultimately seen as a liability and sent residence — and, like Clint, Peter was removed just short of the show’s final day of filming.
