"The Real World: Sydney?"

Those crazy cats at Bunim-Murray are either fooling us (it’s happened before – remember The Real World: Northern Michigan?) or they have something big up their respective sleeves.

Try The Real World: Sydney on for size.

MM-Agency Blog has the scoop:

It looks like the next Real World 19 season will be in Sydney Australia set to film in February 2007 for 6 months, 8 months including the pre-production in December.

The latest evidence of this can be seen on the Australian screen professional job site, Screen Hub.

The position is as a Production Assistant for an American Reality show that will be shooting in Sydney for 8 months starting in December 2006.

The listing was placed by Bunim Murray with the email address of rw19prod@aol.com.

The person listing it is Ken Chien who was the production manager for the Real World San Diego, the line producer for the Real World Denver, and the director for both the Real World Austin and the Real World Key West seasons.

Of course, this is television production, so it could likely follow through if they can’t find a good location for the cast to call home. Even though I’ve sadly passed up the acceptable age of a Real World castmember, I would totally move to Sydney to get drunk and make out with one of my roommates with a blanket covering us up so you can’t quite tell what’s going on under there. Sigh.
