Belltel/Real World Marriage on the Rocks?

Six weeks after the announcement (and subsequent media frenzy) that the next installment of the MTV show The Real World would take place in the BellTel in Downtown Brooklyn, a blog by the agency that books appearances for the show’s casts is reporting that the deal may be delayed, or even called off, because of the pace of construction. The MM Agency blog reports that the best-case scenario for filming to begin is mid-August; it also says that filming is supposed to conclude by November 17. Then the bombshell: “An intern from Hunter College who is working for MTV provided an interesting statement that The Real World may not even film there because they were having some issues with the BellTel Lofts building with the location at 116 Third Place in Carroll Gardens as the backup.” Zoinks!

Making the band is Ghetto.
Yeah, I think that was it. But I logged out and relogged in with my name so I will be identifiable from now on…
Weird, Carol Gardens. Wonder if it’s because you were already logged in as a guest. There’s no option to log in as guest anymore…
Hey, you can still post as guest, because I just did (9:52). I didn’t know MTB was filmed in a brownstone, because I didn’t watch it, so maybe CG could happen. If so, they will invade Gowanus Yacht Club, that’s for sure.
MTV shoots “Making The Band” in a brownstone and it seems to work just fine.
Good point, 9:52, but think of the potential for upskirt shots!
I just can’t see them using a brownstone simply because the cameramen would probably quit if they had to chase the cast members up and down the stairs all day. (Although if they choose CG, I would have to watch to see if Buddy Scotto shows up in a cameo.)
Red Hook? Might work if they could do it in a cool waterfront loft building. At least they could ride the Ikea bus back and forth for free.
I was hearing rumors this weekend that they were moving to Red Hook.
