an interview with cameran: BEAUTY AND THE BORED By FARRAH WEINSTEIN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cameran Eubanks and Brad Fiorenza's (far right) romance may have wiped out, but she still enjoyed her ride on "The Real World San Diego." June 2, 2004 -- CAMERAN Eubanks wants the world to know: "Brad [Fio renza] and I are not to gether." The "Real World San Diego" beauty was referring to a couple of racy epi sodes where the two love bugs/ room mates got down and dirty in a hot tub in Greece. Yes, there had been sexual tension all season long. Cameran was flirting with Brad. Brad was flirt ing with Cameran. Brad brings home a random girl for a one- night stand. Cameran tries to throw a washcloth in the room to interrupt them. And so on. While many viewers might want to reach in to the TV set and shake Eubanks for being so annoying, in that Jessica-Simpson- blonde-bimbo-sort-of- a-way, others cheer her on. She is, by far, the most naive cast member in a house full of nut jobs on the show known for the phrase "What hap pens when people stop being polite and start getting real." Oddly enough, the ratings keep growing and growing, and this 14th installment is probably the most controversial "Real World" yet. One of the roommates, Frankie Abernathy, is a depressed, self-mutilating "cutter" with cystic fibrosis who wants to leave the show. "She showed us all of her piercings one day," says Eubanks. "I mean, like all of her piercings. I'll leave it to your imagination. Both of her nipples were pierced four times. That was pretty wild." Even more wild was when two of Eubanks' other roommates, Fiorenza and Robin Hibbard, were arrested on separate occasions. But this drama is only the tip of the iceberg. "The show is going to get real emotional," says Eubanks, who is referred to as "Cam" or "Cammie" by her roommates. Part of the allure of the 19-year-old Eubanks — who served pizzas at the Mellow Mushroom in Anderson, S.C., before landing her reality TV show gig — is that she's grown up — smoking and drinking and all — in the public eye. "She's very likable and funny, and the audience responds to her personality," says Kevin Lee, supervising producer of "Real World San Diego." "But she's also a young girl who's going through the maturing pains right in front of your eyes, and sometimes the audience gets frustrated. But she's so brave to share that with us. If she was on the show three years from now, she wouldn't be annoying at all." On the MTV website, Eubanks says that one of her favorite items is her vibrator because "sex can wait, masturbate. That's my motto!" Apparently, playboy/hunk Fiorenza (who has a girlfriend back home) wasn't what Eubanks wanted after all. She's actually found love with a former "Real World" cast member: sweet Clyde "Ace" Amerson from last season's "Real World Paris." "It's true," says Lee. "And I've heard that Cameran likes him a lot." For the future, Eubanks hopes to attend college and travel some more. "I've read for a couple of teeny pilots and people throw crazy stuff at you, it's so weird," she says. "I don't buy into all that crap." Will she do another reality TV show, a la Trishelle from "Real World Las Vegas" who went on to do "Surreal Life." "Oh, no. I think reality TV has gone insane," she says. "Like 'The Littlest Groom,' who does that?" But she doesn't regret anything she's done. "It would almost seem stupid to have regrets with an experience like that." Real World San Diego airs tonight at 10 p.m. on MTV.

I heard Mallory and Ace broke up. Well Ace and Cameran both got that southern twang, at least they have something in common...

I thought it was ironic that these Party Hearty animals chose the guy who is underage.. not that this will necessarily stop them from partying Seemed an odd selection but who knows who else was on their list?

Yeah Mamie, at least we have this car crash - I can't imagine life @ 46 without Reality TV and TVCH. (the kids are gone - or close to it - PMS has decided to take a never ending oncor, because we are now "important Mgmt." people in our careers, our company cuts part of our staff & we now have to work even more, etc). I mean, what else do we have to keep our sanity?

What a shame Frankie didn't get on Starting Over which would have tried to help her grow up more than grow crazy, a la RW. Sigh..

On my vacation last year I was talking to my friend about RW and the Osbourne show and some teenagers at the next table were stunned that I (over 50) was actually watching and enjoying such stuff. I guess to test me they asked me a few questions and I answered them easily. LOL They pulled up their chairs later and we all watched the sunset together and had a nice time. It was fun, they were such nice young people.

It was really rather boring last night. I felt for Ja but other than that just blah. And next week Cam throws a tantrum and breaks Charlie's guitar. I can watch that at home!

Yeah, the new guy doesn't add anything at all so far, but Cameran is showing just how self-centered she actually is.. I wish one season they'd simply put it to them.. you actually DO your job or you go home. They seem to think they are just the most put upon people under the sun and that it is cute and entertaining to slack off.

I know this is not about a RW SD'er. And I posted it in the Days of Our Lives section the other day. Since I don't know if anyone watches this show and DOL..... so I figured I would post it here as well. Anyway for the For the longest time I had been trying to figure out where I had seen the character called Phillip on the show. I finally saw the cast credits and located the guys name. It is Kyle Brandt. Who is Kyle Brandt??????? He was on the Real World - Chicago {season 11} the season with Aneesa, Cara, Chris, Keri, Theo and Tonya. I went to MTV webpage and looked around...and lo and behold there he is. Man I must have no life lol

Broxi - the funny part about the whole Kyle and soaps is that on the RR Chicago reunion show he was making comments on his career (moved to LA & into acting) and stated how daytime shows are beneath him & had a look of distain (after a comment by Cara about some role he was offered on a new soap) - after which he did that deoderant commercial (which I still see from time to time) and now DOL. Guess he's not the superstar blockbuster actor he thought he was.

Broxi, I knew that. You should have said something and I would have told you long ago. I hate when you see someone and you know you have seen them on some other show but you just don't know where. Drives me crazy!

Kyle was offered a part on Passions. Also, I believe he recently broke up with his girlfriend Lori from RW 10 back to NY.

Can someone post the Josh Wolk take on this week's show? He is funnier than this show is! These kids have no concept of reality - I think it would be so much more fun to have a job cleaning a boat outside and on the water rather than working in an office every day! And BTW - I never liked Kyle. I thought he was rotten to that girl he was leading on in Chicago (can't remember her name - Carrie??) and I just rolled my eyes when they would refer to his political ambitions.
