Cast spoilers represent the lifeblood of competitive reality TV fandom. Knowing who's on a season — and more importantly, who was cut — shapes the entire viewing experience for superfans.
Vevmo's spoiler community has built a reputation for accuracy that production companies both fear and respect. The forum's track record speaks for itself.
I heard that podcast but never got that impression of Leroy being a womanizer. I do know he tried to get as many women in his bed as possible and live it up while he was in Vegas...

This might be because this was the first season I ever followed on twitter while their season was airing but to me they all seem very into the idea of being famous and being on television, etc. Leroy seems to get the most love from viewers of the show, not to mention he was on Rivals and made it so far, I can easily see the girls being bitter about him getting such a great edit (which he does!) and having so many fans. I obviously don't actually know these people but from the social media and television I've seen them in that is my observation and how it comes off to me.
Why would they be bitter? I think they'd know more about what those guys are really like than the fans. I thought it was really interesting, he did appear like a womanizer to me on the show and on the podcast he did with Derrick.

There is something about the Vegas crew that feels like they went a little higher than other seasons but burned out a lot faster than other casts in the public eye. I just don't feel myself having any good associations with the season or the cast 6 months out like I do with other seasons. Except for New Orleans, I usually at least periodically check in on some old RW casts on twitter or think about the show sporadically--just not with those two seasons so much for whatever reason.

jesses_girl;280864 wrote:I don't judge Leroy since he didn't go to college and he was working as a garbage man. So he got the opportunity to be on the Real World and he is taking full of advantage of it, I don't think he is a fame ***** to the same extent that Adam and Naomi are. From the Vegas cast I think that ones that don't care that much about fame are Cookie, Dustin, Mike, and maybe Heather.

icubaby;280878 wrote:Care to prove this please and they are adults leave it alone
Someone at the reunion taping also told me they deleted a part where Naomi told the host that her and Leroy still have unprotected sex even though Leroy has a t shirt with the slogan "wrap it up" and was doing safe sex Psa's throughout the airing of the show. I also Met Adam once and he told me Leroy hired a mentor after the show who followed him around to help him with his "career"... So I think that's why the cast feels people misunderstand who leroy is. I personally don't think he is a bad guy but I'm not on the "Leroy is the realest" bandwagon either. He just seems like that older guy that thinks he's the big man on campus and lays low and avoids confrontation, even his friendship with mike rubs me the wrong way. He loves to write all over twitter how much love he has for him but when dustins beating his *** or the guys on the challenge are picking on him, he's sitting back watching/laughing.

I thought he was still a trashman?

Why wouldn't he turn his 15 minutes of fame into an hour? That's what everyone of you would do, instead of waking up at 4am every day picking up trash, why not move to LA and try to "make it" I say do whatever you can to stay relevant, make as much money, and move on when you cool down.
jesses_girl;281076 wrote:Haven't read through the thread but would a guy who was fame hungry avoid drama on a challenge and just go to compete and win money, I'm pretty sure if he was fame hungry he would have given them more to work with. I think the guy is just being himself and trying to take advantage of an opportunity while it lasts.

jesses_girl;281088 wrote:I don't know though. I think he's more motivated by money than fame. And the easiest way to make quick cash now is by using his name/fame, so by doing appearances and such.

CherryPie;281096 wrote:Yeah he doesn't seem like he wants to be famous....I think he just wants the money. We gotta remember that not everyone that goes on these shows want to be famous. I mean has anyone ever gotten any REAL fame from just beng on The Real World/Challenges?

green123;281103 wrote:Exactly, people are just sugar coating my post because they like him. But i think him, Naomi, and Adam are all in the same boat as far as making their few minutes of fame last as long as possible. Leroy didn't go to college and was a trash man. He had nothing to fall back on after TRW so he's doing anything he can to keep his face and name out there. And to the people who said he just wants the money and not the fame, well with what he's been doing it seems that he definitely is motivated by both. I can understand taking the mtv money and investing it into a business/creating a clothing line but advocating for a second season/a spinoff/, doing ustreams and youtube videos that he isn't being paid for is a sign that he likes the attention(fame) just as much as the pay checks. This is just my opinion btw, i don't know him at all but this is my perspective.
He didn't go to college. He got the opportunity to be on BMP & MTV. Yeah he had sex with a lot of girls, oh well. But he didn't make a fool of himself in either show to get attention like some other people did (cough Adam cough cough). He is doing what everyone would do in his position and is taking full advantage of it.

If you are not out there on TV, then people are not going to be booking you as much or paying you as much or buying your clothes (which BTW is about the dumbest route I see these people trying to take). Those are about the only ways you get money (and I see "lectures" as just being better paid "bookings" so I include those in my statement). Mike Manning is about the only RW cast member from recent seasons I see taking a somewhat different and likely better in the long-term route.

Nostalgic;281204 wrote:I didn't say Leroy is promoting himself in a bad way. What i was saying was that Mike isn't just going all over the place (posting videos, random modeling pics, club appearances, selling clothes with his sayings on them) trying to keep his name out there. He's really active with HRC and doing speaking engagements and interviews pertaining to their cause. I know he has a decent size role in this movie called "Ecupid" and im pretty sure he has some other ones in the works. He's just really creating a long term situation for himself. It's not about the quick money and attention for him. Which is different from a lot of recent RWers so it's really cool to follow him and what he has going on. Another good example would be Scott Herman.
