This season, The Real World brought together seven strangers to live in a house in Hollywood. The roomies all have one thing in common, though: they want to be famous. Brianna wants to be a singer, Will wants to produce music, and Kimberly wants to be an entertainment reporter. All seven cast members have dreams of making it big and they felt that this would be their best shot at fame. Which one has the best chance of making it big? Let’s examine the housemates a little closer and see whose Hollywood dreams could become a reality.

Brianna seems like an unlikely candidate to take her music career anywhere. In the first episode, she was already in legal trouble, for assaulting her boyfriend. In the second episode, she “got ghetto” with Kimberly and was threatening to knock her out. Joey’s temper and over indulgence in alcohol alone should keep him from getting far with anyone in Hollywood. Greg doesn’t have the personality or the people skills to be in the entertainment industry. He’s by far the least popular housemate this season and it’s still early on!

Both Sarah and Kimberly want to become television reporters. However, partying all day and night isn’t exactly the best way for the news or entertainment industry to take you seriously. It’s hard to say what will become of Dave, since not much is known about him just yet. Only time will tell. Will appears to be taking his career in music seriously. He may have the best chance, as he wants to stay out of the spotlight and work behind the scenes.

In the past, The Real World cast members have not had much success once their respective season ends.  Only a select few have made a name for themselves outside of The Real World house. Kyle, of the Chicago cast, had a recurring role on Days of Our Lives for 3 years. Mallory, of the Paris cast, has gone to become a successful model, appearing in Sports Illustrated and the Abercrombie and Fitch catalog. Perhaps the most successful is Jacinda, of the London cast. She has had a respectable career in television and appeared in several movies, including Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and The Last Kiss.
