A Time Out with MTV Reality Stars

It goes without saying that MTV, the network that practically invented the music video (or at least popularized it) also has some of the biggest up-and-coming reality TV stars. So it was that MTV recently made a pit stop at my college as part of the MTV Spring Break Reality Tour, bringing in three stars that I got to spend a few minutes with: Matt from "MTV True Life," Danny from "The Real World Austin" and Bam Bam from "Rob & Big." What follows are the questions I asked, and the responses as appropriate. Though it was just a few minutes with each one, I got to ask a few questions of all three individually, so here goes...

Jeffrey Davis: So how was it [being on Rob & Big]?

Bam Bam: Man, it was crazy. ...[But I got to] be myself.

JD: How crazy [could you say it was]?

BB: [I don't..., well,] just watch the show!

JD: Anything... [notable that stood] out?

BB: [There was one in] Cancun, Mexico. ...[Something about] nachos...

JD: [Okay, fair enough.] (To Danny) And you are...?

Danny: Danny. [From the Real World, Austin.]

JD: [Okay.] How was it, [for you, doing your thing?]

D: A lot of fun. [Got to] travel, [do a lot of nice stuff, things like that.]

JD: Anything particular stand out?

D: [Probably all] the nice people I met.

JD: Okay. Anything particularly crazy [like it was for Bam Bam]?

D: A lot of crazy stuff, actually.

JD: Okay, thanks. (A few minutes later, to Matt) What did you do?

Matt: [I Got to] go around... meet nice people...

JD: How was it?

M: [It was just] one episode [for me,] but [I] liked it. The other two people [did a lot more.] (Person interrupts) Whoa, gotta go...

JD: [Okay, fine with me.] Thanks for your time!
