I came into reality television with MTV's show 'The Real World,' specifically the 1994 season set in San Francisco. I was glued to the Puck and Pedro drama.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went onto reality TV as a business decision.
I tried out for another show while I was in college so I could pay off my student loans, and it sort of led to The Real World. The same people that were casting that show were casting The Real World, so they asked me to do it.
I was an actress long before I was a reality TV person.
I was 11 years old when I saw the first season of 'The Real World.' Initially, I was drawn to the show because it was what I imagined the adult version of my life should be.
I'm quite proud of what I anticipated about reality television from my books in the early '90s, which I based on the early seasons of 'Cops' and on the amazing stuff I had read about happening on Japanese shows and the British 'Big Brother'.
I barely ever watch TV, but when I do, I usually only watch MTV shows, like 'The Real World Sydney.'
Reality TV is anything but.
The only reality show that I do tune in for is 'Shark Tank.'
My sister and I created a show called 'The Real Life Brady Bunch,' which was sort of a theatrical sensation that got us attention in L.A. and New York.
I have done a lot of reality shows. In fact,my first show was 'Shava Shava', which was a singing reality show.
