Behind the Screen: The Surreal Life -VH1

The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.

What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.

The Surreal Life -VH1

PinkRose ·

You never know what to expect when eight stars come together for a wild, over the top journey that pushes them to reveal different sides of themselves in surprising ways. Much like The Real World, The Surreal Life puts a random group of celebrities together in a house for our entertainment.

The cast of the new series features NBA icon Dennis Rodman, singer-rapper August Alsina, **** actress and alleged Donald Trump mistress Stormy Daniels,  singer and TV personality Tamar Braxton,  Malcom in the middle Star Frankie Muniz, In Living color actres actress Kim Coles, recently released WWE star CJ Perry, and make-up artist/YouTube Manny MUA.

PinkRose#16

Idk the MUA artist guy, Kim Coles and the wrestler 

Big_bananas_fan#17

Know Lana, she is Miro's girlfriend, of course Dennis Rodman, Frankie Muniz and Stormie, also heard about Tamar Braxton but dont know what she does

Gucci Mane#18

Given Tamar's recent mental state I hope she was really ok doing this.

August is no punk and Kim Coles is an icon

Tvandcoffee#19

The only ones Idk are the wrestler and MUA artist, but I used to watch the old seasons and know only 1 or 2 people so I'm cool with it. Rodman should be very interesting... 

entrepreneur#20

Just excited for August...he's been through a lot.

LucciVee#21

most black people know all of the black cast mates & that they're great picks 

LucciVee#22

don't know that WWE girl & Manny everybody else is pretty infamous 

WesTracked#23

This is actually pretty standard for Surreal Life. a pretty good cast all things considered. i even vaguely remember the makeup guy from that era of Youtube where all the drama from that community was on the popular page. 

Flopnanas#24

I shockingly know everyone in the cast except for the wwe blond girl

Kari_daddy#25

I know everyone except the manny guy. I think im most excited about wwe Lana, she can be a hot mess but I love her lol.

Her and her husband always had an interesting dynamic. Like they look/feel like they don't fit but they do lol. I love them. I don't think he would do this though but idk 

Lisal#28

When does this air? 

Chicken_breast#29

Manny was on Joey's Escape the Night. He was fun on there.

Daddy DAF#30
