WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- The Real World cast has moved into a House on S Street near Dupont Circle. But some of the people trying to catch a glimpse are getting some resistance from the production crew, including 9NEWS NOW.
While cast members try to have an intimate conversation, a crowd of people gather on the sidewalk to listen in. You can faintly hear one of the cast members react: "I didn't know people were going to be stalking me. That's weird."
The "stalkers" are actually fans and bloggers who use Twitter to spread the word about the latest Real World news.
"It's the first time I think that Real World has to deal with Twitter, and it's not good for the real world people," said Beth Ploger, blogger.
It's obvious the Real World production crew doesn't want the attention. After the cast went in the house and the commotion was over, 9NEWS NOW Digital Correspondent Lindsey Mastis began interviewing some of the people standing on the sidewalk.
What did the Real World Photographers do? Get in the way. They put their camera in front of WUSA 9's, and even touched lens-to-lens.
They even targeted two women sitting in a parked convertible.
"That kind of shocked me, but we were just trying to see the house and he came over and taped us, but when I said, 'hi' he didn't say anything back," said Veronia Locke, College Park.
Well, Real World, if you can't make 'em leave, why don't you make them part of the show?
These fans were finally asked to sign release forms-- so they might have a cameo. That made them happy. But it won't make them go away. Especially with blogs and Twitter and Flickr and TwitPic. This city is watching every move.
