Behind the Screen: Real World Seattle: Bad Blood - Orlana Russell

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

i agree she has a very real storyline that's pretty unique for the show.

I don't think I watched the episode where Joel Enrique brought up her story? I know it had to do with suicide. I need to catch up smh.

Not to spoil it or anything but basically she was diagnosed with a mental illness to the point where she almost killed herself one year. She confided in Jordan and Jordan at the time brushed her aside. I think they may have later on had a fisticuff (of course before coming on the show that is).

FWIW, I totally can see Jordan being shady towards Orlana because of that. Mental Illness is not something to be joked or passed over about.

Wait what the **** **** MY AUTOCORRECT. I meant Orlana. But damn. I need to catch up on that episode.

I hate that shit too. That and the preview words settings.

Her character would fit so much better if this was a 7 strangers with different backgrounds kind of season

Damn right. And is it true that Peter was actually one of the original seven before he was switched with Mike?

Yes, he was a reject for go big then try out again for this season and they decide to put Mike as the original roommate instead of him.

Yes indeed, thanks for that. I totally would've liked if the situation was switched. I can see the script now with Peter saying "this guy owes me money"

And then there's that girlfriend that was never on screen mentioned.

He said on that interview there was a reason why he was switched, I wonder what it was....

Her backstory interests me the most.

I really wish they focused more on her.

Yeah I like her and I think she's also really pretty. Her pictures are TRAGIC though like the one for this thread. She does not know her angles.. it's almost like she's trying to make a funny face. Remember reading her bad blood bio with Jordan about how Jordan only dates white guys and Orlana thinks she's racist? l was ready for that storyline Beee

anon23423234235#83

there was a lot of potential for Orlana f the cast was at a right number.... i was ready for that as well. i seriously thought they would be arguing more about their point of views.

More evidence pointing towards them doing a TERRIBLE edit job this season. I'll bet they discussed this at least once.

this, i only watched one episode and she was like the only interesting person to me. Everyone seems so superficial.

I wish Lana was on a different season tbh. She has a real story that's overshadowed by petty bs.
