So I watched Making the band 2 with Puff Daddy and there was this white girl that was one of the people that got cut at the end. She was pretty hot and had a memorable look.
Cut to last night on Real World. It was the latest one where on Irulans birthday they got out to celebrate and Alton ends up hooking up with this “school teacher” but its THE SAME GIRL FROM MAKING THE BAND!
How the hell did this slip past screeners? Doesn’t this cut into the “reality” of the show when you mess up like this?
Come on Mtv!! We expect more from you! Pretty soon we’ll see you playing videos if you don’t shape up!

I am checking with my writers for those shows to see if it really was the same person or just two people who look alike. I’ll report back if I get any info.

I checked with my writer who covered _Making the Band 2_ and also the most recent _Real World_ episode. He said they are not the same. The girl was Brianna on Making the Band 2, the girl from the RW was named Carrie. There is mild resemblence, but no dice.

Yeah you are right. I watched it again during one of the 50 reruns this weekend and it wasn’t the same chick. The girl on MTB2 was better looking anyway.
The biggest casting screw up of all time was putting Arissa on RW LV. Damn shes a beyatch.
