MTV’s “The Challenge” Star Laurel Stucky is speaking out about the current state of Reality TV and it doesn’t look like she’s a big fan!!
Laurel got her start on Fresh Meat! She was a contestant drafted by Kenny Santucci. She is the champion of Free Agents, and was a finalist on Fresh Meat II, Cutthroat, and Rivals. She also competed on Invasion of the Champions, War of the Worlds 2, and Ride or Dies and will star in the upcoming “The Challenge: All Stars” Season 4!
Laurel took to Twitter to share:
“The stark difference from the people cast on MTV in the era of The Real World vs now-a-days is so apparent.
Back when people didn’t really care about being on tv, but would try it cause it was a cool opportunity…
Fun fact: most of the ppl cast on The Real World never listened to casting rules, accompanied a friend but got cast themself, got drunk/showed up late during the casting process, all-in-all could have really given 1 sh*t. That’s what makes all of them badasses in their own right.
I will say this: anyone who was on The Real World got casted for being their whole self. Hated it or loved it – they were them. BMP did such a good job of putting people together that would incite conversation that could potentially be important for the general public as a whole.”
