A must for fans of the real world

This book is amazing!! anything you ever wanted to know is answered!! It even goes into a bit of stuff from other seasons, with pictures of Rachel(S.F) and Sean's (boston)wedding! as well as tonnes of pictures what they're doing now etc....etc.....You will really enjoy it!!

The Truth Be Told

It's amazing how much is told in this book that wasn't revealed on the show. This book gives the show and the cast (which I think is the most interesting cast yet) more depth. The thing dealt with most in the book is something that wasn't hardly dealt with on the show, and that's Kelley and Danny's dislike of Melissa and Jamie. There's way more content than that, but that is what's focused on a bit. 'Unmasked' also put to rest the answer of some questions, such as "Why was Kelley not in the house a lot?" and "What did Matt really think of Julie the whole time she crushed on him?". All the cast members let out what they really thought about each other, and some of the results could be surprising. All in all, I found that this season and this book is the best ever. Can't wait until next season!

RW New Orleans: The Ultimate Fan Guide

If you watched every episode of Real World New Orleans, this book is for you. If you watched a few episodes of here and there of Real World New Orleans, this book is for you. If you watched one episode of Real World New Orleans, this book is for you. EVERYONE WILL LOVE THIS BOOK! RW NO: Unmasked doesn't retell the 5 months of drama that we saw daily on TV. It gives you the inside story, the behind-the-scenes, the "in-between" moments. Everything that wasn't allowed to be shown on TV - in Unmasked. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fresh, real look on reality tv. This is one you can't miss!

A Must Have For Any Real World Fan

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was completely packed with cool stuff. I really enjoyed it because it didn't simply retell the show, it went beyond and told about a lot of stuff the cameras didn't show. It had plenty of great color pictures, what the cast wrote on their casting applications, updates on previous Real World Casts, and features on topics that occured throughout the show such as Julie and Matt talking about their religion, and Melissa and David talking about their race. Overall I thought it was a really interesting book. I felt like there was plenty to read, plenty to look at, and I also really enjoyed reading the special reunion section that told about what some of my favorite people from previous casts have been up to. Pick it up :)

RW New Orleans - Why it's the best.

The Real World New Orleans was the best season of the Real World for many reasons. But I think that one stood out in particular. Everyone on the show was not constantly fighting with each other. On the contrary, they seemed to be happy, enjoy each other's company, and have fun. Yes there were hard spots, but there are going to be hard spots no matter what. This season everyone was not manipulating, yelling, fighting and causing other human beings to be thrown into the depths of despair. I genuinly love all of the cast members of The Real Wolrd New Orleans. They just seem so perfect at that moment in time. Julie, Matt, Danny, Kelly, Jamie, Melissa, and David all had there special qualities that made them stand out. It is important, however, to understand that these are real people with real lives and they have their flaws. It is, in my opinion, a necessary evil. This book made me realize that all of these people were more simular to each other than I had thought and that they disliked each other more than I had thought. At first I did not want to accept this reality, but the book makes you do that. At first I did not like knowing that these were (and I know that this must sound funny) real people with real faults. After a while, I liked knowing this fact. I felt that in some strange way it brought me just a little closer to the Belfort. I would greatly encourage reading this book if you are a Real World New Orleans fan because it will open your eyes (it opened mine anyway). I think that it will also more greatly inform you of everyone's personality through what they say about themselves, what other cast members say about them, and what other non-cast members say about them. (ex. Peter). I hope that you read this book if only to gain more knowledge about seven strangers.
