One week from tonight,
The Real World will kick off its 20th season on MTV, set in Hollywood. This season features a special twist. The housemates are all aspiring singers, actors, and models looking to make a name for themselves. Among the group are a conservative religious college grad, a football playing cheerleader, a tough girl who displays volatile behavior, and a self proclaimed rebel. Obviously, these roomies won't always get along but one felt that it was too much and decided to quit. Read on to find out who it was and how it all played out.
** WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!! **
21 year old
Sarah Ralston, a recent graduate of Arizona State University, told her college newspaper this week that she decided to leave the show about midway through the season. "Every day was a struggle to get through," she said. "There were people that don't respect you, and then you're living with them.” MTV has already touted
Kimberly as someone who butts heads with her roommates this season. Will she and Sara come to blows the way
Trisha and
Parisa did last season in Sydney?
Ralston joined the show partly to experience something new and partly to achieve her dream of becoming a television broadcaster. "If you're not challenging yourself, you're not going to be able to grow," Ralston said. "I think the coolest thing was just being able to pursue our dream jobs.” When
Shauvon chose to leave
The Real World last season to work things out with her then boyfriend,
Ashli joined the show in her place. When Trisha was kicked off the show for pushing Parisa, though, the show did not bring anyone new on as it was too late in the season. Will Sarah leave in time for MTV to replace her or will the show go on with one less cast member?
Here's the good news. No one needs to worry. While sitting in church one Sunday morning, Sarah actually decides to stay for the rest of the season and never actually leaves the show. Let's hope the house can stay in tact for the entire season of
The Real World: Hollywood.
