Today's Real World Rumor: Red Hook!
Carroll Gardens, you totally got Punk'd...the seven newest Real World strangers won't be moving to your quaint little neighborhood after all, instead they'll be moving to Red Hook. So says the latest rumor, which claims "construction of a make-shift apartment has begun on the upstairs end of Pier-41 (204 Van Dyke Street) as of last week. The space had most recently been used a few years ago when it was built-out as a bar/night club for the Will Smith movie, Hitch." Does this mean they're gonna have to hack IKEA's water taxi service in order to get anywhere?

No, uh uh, that's fucking it. I am sick of this shit. First they say they're coming...then there's this whole bullshit where-will-they-live dilemna, and they keep shifting around and finally theres some "punk'd-ing" going on around here? Moving to Red Hook? No, that's enough...eat shit...their turn is up. I hope they get run up on by a bunch of fucking bloods.

alright, is it safe to assume this project is gonna tank so we can stop talking/bitching about it every other day? how are they going to start filming this month if they don't even have a place to put the damn kids?

They should move the Real World to East New York. That'll teach those spoiled brats about the REAL world.

Now I'm mad! Let them live in downtown brooklyn where they really can't bother anyone! This is one of my favorite spots in Red Hook bc it's so nice and quiet. Grrrrr!

I was in a bar in the East Village a couple of months ago and overheard some douchbag of a guy telling a girl that he was in The Real World. Couldn't make out any more, as I soon became engaged in some interesting conversation with a comely young lady. I'd be happy if they staged the show in Staten Island.

if they move to red hook it'll be the most ghetto real world ever! Yes, even more than RW philadelphia. The most glamorous thing you can do in red hook is go to Ikea. IKEA! that's it.

I cant wait this is what I wanted a real world were cast members will actual die or have serious bodily harm come to them. Now thats real

Red Hook is not THAT ghetto--there are a handful of hipster bars and restaurants.
But yeah, WTF? Are they REALLY going to be waiting on Van Brunt Street for ye olde B61 Bus whenever they want to even go to the subway? I canNOT imagine this is going to really happen.

The reason they probably chose Red Hook is because of isolation more than anything else. If you think that show isn't produced in a pretty controlled environment, you're just retarded.

Well at least they will be able to get to the methadone clinic easily.

Do people really get this riled up because MTV is filming a reality television show in their neighborhood?
Seriously, is it really worth all this effort?
