brb says Thanks Janet! Good luck in your career!
Jasmine says Thanks so much Janet
DigCommHost says We'll be posting a transcript of the chat on Thursday...
DigCommHost says Thank you Janet for joining our live chat.
JanetRealWorld says Chicago was considered for the Seattle season, but the producer has a problem with cold weather so...
JanetRealWorld says BRB, everyone including myself was a slob...David liked to workout a lot, but not obsessed with his body, just good mental health, and Nathan does let his hair grow.
skip says will CHicago ever be a site for the real world
brb says Give us some dirt on the boys. . .were they slobs? Was David obsessed with his body? Does Nathan ever let his hair grow?
DigCommHost says We have time for a few more questions...
JanetRealWorld says Blancs, don't give up but they don't make decisions until december
JanetRealWorld says cmusigkap, they actually did show a shirt one time, but I didn't wear them very much just because it really wasn't something I really do..
JanetRealWorld says cmusigkap, they actually did show a shirt one time, but I didn't wear them very much just because it really wasn't something I really do..
DigCommHost says Welcome. Janet is ferociously answering your questions.
blancs says i sent in a tape to audition...what are the odds of getting a call?
cmusigkap says J: I noticed that you have never worn your sorority letters on the show...would they have opposed it? (from one sorority girl to another! : ) )
JanetRealWorld says Kit, I talked to her a week ago
JanetRealWorld says Oscar, the boys would use it for "dirty" jobs
JanetRealWorld says blancs, until the shows air
JanetRealWorld says Nut, maybe in a couple of years, I definitely loved it enough
Kit says Janet do you ever talk to Irene???
DCC6Oscar says Maybe all those camera guys used up all the toilet paper.
miss meow says btw: the toiletpaper thing would suck...
JanetRealWorld says amkrusz. by the end of last summer.
JanetRealWorld says cmusigkap...the invisible gods we call them
JanetRealWorld says Samiam, i'm trying..
cMonkey says Wasn't MTV uposed to supply that stuff?
JanetRealWorld says Thanks diva
JanetRealWorld says Miss meow, David had a second job...and we had no toilet paper
blancs says how long are you unable to speak "freely" about the things that went on
nut says Would you ever move back to seattle to live?
amkrusz says Janet, when will you graduate?
JanetRealWorld says Nick, I'm going to take what I've learned and move on...It's been a great time...it's just hard having people judge you without meeting you
cmusigkap says J: who wont let you say?
samiam says Janet: have you given up smoking yet?
DigCommHost says Welcome. Our guest tonight is Janet, cast member of MTV's "The Real World."
JanetRealWorld says Roberta66, I started seeing someone, but they won't let me say who
thediva says Janet, I think its admirable that you have come out to face the masses :) You are the first season that has had to be SOOOOO accountable to the public..because of the rampantness of the internet
miss meow says janet- if you were broke how did dave get the cash for that roman glass necklace he bought for kira..? and did he ever get on your nerves when he mis-used his word of the day calender?
JanetRealWorld says Daq, it was the best experience of my life, some amazing relationships out there, I was the only one who got along with everyone in the house...being on tv is actually one of the bad parts about it...the rest was a blessing
Nick Munch says janet it must be pretty hard to be on that show. do you ever regret doing it?
roberta66 says janet, did you hook up w/anyone on rw/all stars?
JanetRealWorld says BRB, I love snowboarding, i've got some work to do...
JanetRealWorld says Blancs, the people at Endfest were great, Aubbie is ....
daq says Janet, were you disappointed with how they did the first show? what interesting things happened that weren't on the show?
brb says Will you be snowboarding in the future? You looked pretty good out there.
DigCommHost says Janet, would MTV ever pick Chicago for a show?
JanetRealWorld says Chat1, MTV paid for rent and got us a job...but we were broke most of the time
JDawg says Janet: Don't let these goobs get to you, I met you and in the few minutes we chatted I could tell you were a sweetheart.
blancs says how did the poeple at endfest welcome you? and, did you like aubbie?
JanetRealWorld says Something I want you guys to know, that you probably have guessed by now, is that I haven't watched the last four shows becaused it's too frustrating...I only want to move on with my life
chat1 says Janet, I asked this question a couple of minutes ago but didn't see an answer. Who pays the bills in the loft? Did the radio job really make you guys enough money to pay electric, phone, heat, and buy the food? Who pays the rent that must be pretty expensive?
JanetRealWorld says Jasmine, a little, but I have long hair now, so not much
Jasmine says Do you ever get recognized on the street?
JanetRealWorld says Jada, we were kidding...how old are you?
JanetRealWorld says Oscar, I didn't watch the show much at all, if I had, things might have been different...but that's why I understand why you guys might think the way you do...please just try to put yourself in my shoes...being judged by 52 million people based on a false
jada says all we are saying is what you and Nathan said during the mtv chat was totally rude and uncalled for. If she really was that impossible, you should just not even mention her.
samiam says Janet- you seem to be very down to earth. Is it tough to resume your normal life after being on the show?
DigCommHost says Welcome. Our guest tonight is Janet, cast member of MTV's "The Real World."
JanetRealWorld says Blancs, I don't dislike her...I don't understand why you think I do...you guys weren't there....all you know is what you see...put yourself in my shoes please i beg you
JLD3 says Are you looking forward to getting back to school and your "normal" life? What did you miss the most while you were gone?
Nick Munch says do you ever get tired of being with the same people for so long?
JanetRealWorld says daq, I loved Pike market, I missed it
JanetRealWorld says jada and miss meow, I want to talk to you guys in person because for all I know an imposter may e-mail you, I'm not a big fan of the internet
Mabish says What's your favorite movie? Why?
blancs says could you give us one example of what irene did to make you dislike her?
DCC6Oscar says Did you watch "Real World" before they cast you in it? What did you think of it?
JanetRealWorld says Daq, it's really frustrating having people judge you on moments of a fleeting cut-up conversation...
daq says where was your favorite place to hang out in seattle??
JanetRealWorld says whitepaws2, David and Nathan were such different people that you couldn't even tell.
rob says in the interest of being fair i've got to ask, how much opportunity did the producers really give you guys to interact with the locals? our general impression here was that you were sheltered and scripted wherever you went in town.. ??
Ecnn says if you don't mind, what is the name of your parents restaurant?
daq says how do you think the real world portrayed you all differently than you really are?

whitepaws2 says did you think it was unfair to put two people in the same house that knew each other prior to this experience?
miss meow says janet- if you want to clear this up my e-mail is meow_grrl@hotmail.com
miss meow says if you really want to talk to me i am all for it, i would love to hear what you have to say...
JanetRealWorld says Jada, I'm not trying to argue with you, but put yourself in my shoes, what you're watching is 22 minutes of 1500 hours a week of tape, being cut off in mid-sentence...
DigCommHost says Welcome to MetromixChat. Our guest tonight is Janet, cast member of MTV's "The Real World."
jada says in regards to the lindsay comment..you did say that to her brother....
blancs says blanc...if you want to know about the imposter at the web site, email me at karma26@bellatlantic.net
btb says What was your radio show about? Talk or music?
JanetRealWorld says Mabish, I spent the majority of my childhood in Elmhurst
jada says we think you are a jerk because of what you have done and said, not because of a message board....
miss meow says alright janet, if you want to give me the real deal, i am down with it...
JanetRealWorld says Miss Meow, that was meant in a very genuine tone
Jasmine says rocketcharged is a Real World hate site
JanetRealWorld says Blancs it was awesome, I had a great time..
JanetRealWorld says Miss Meow, I don't even know what rocketcharged is!!! That's the reason I have a problem with the internet...you guys think I'm a jerk because of some imposter...miss meow, I want your number so I can talk to you directly about this
JanetRealWorld says Miss Meow, I don't even know what rocketcharged is!!! That's the reason I have a problem with the internet...you guys think I'm a jerk because of some imposter...miss meow, I want your number so I can talk to you directly about this
JanetRealWorld says Rob, it became so off that we would read it as comedy
Mabish says Janet, where did you spend most of your childhood?
RMINTO9248 says JANET ARE THERE ANY ROMANCES AND I WANT YOUR VERSION NOT THE CAMERAS
miss meow says hey janet- here is your chance to clear the record, do you really post at rocketcharged? cause if not some one is posing as you...
JanetRealWorld says Jr, Seattle was great despite a little negative stuff, the people really wanted to show us their idea of Seattle.
rob says in pretty much every episode so far we've seen a copy of "the stranger" - were you guys keeping track of how accurate they were while you were in town? =)
jr says What are your thoughts on Seattle's reaction to the Real World
JanetRealWorld says Blancs, what are you talking about? I would never say that!
JanetRealWorld says whitepaws2,Stephanie is a great girl who really kind of got the poop end of the stick...they only showed 3 minutes of 6 hour long conversation

blancs says janet...why did you say that the only person worth investing any time with was lindsay? that didnt come across to well to the viewers who post on rocketcharged.com
Jasmine says Do you think that the editing makes you and the rest of the cast seem different than you are?
JanetRealWorld says samiam, my parents are very supportive, I appreciate them more
whitepaws2 says Are they blowing out of proportion how whiny Nate and Stephanie were?
JanetRealWorld says CrashDavis, nope, not as far as the cameras were concerned
JanetRealWorld says Miss Meow, you know a lot, I don't know..possibly
samiam says How has your relationship with your parents changed since your experience on the show?
JanetRealWorld says CrashDavis, nope, not as far as the cameras were concerned
JanetRealWorld says Miss Meow, you know a lot, I don't know..possibly
samiam says How has your relationship with your parents changed since your experience on the show?
JanetRealWorld says BTB, I love you for asking that question, No!!! crazy rumor...I am very good friends with all the directors, but no
Jasmine says Janet, what do you think about the editing job?
CrashDavis says did anything ever happen between irene and the cadet?
JanetRealWorld says cmusigkap, I don't want this to define me, it was a period of intense self exploration, I'll take what I've learned and move on...I haven't forgotten what my goals were before January
miss meow says janet- do you believe irene's lyme disease had any thing to do with her attitude 'changing'...?
btb says Did you really have a thing for one of the directors?
amkrusz says Come on, everyone. Stop being so judgemental!
JanetRealWorld says JLD3, i keep in touch with everyone...they have become family to me, it's inevitable when you go through an intense experience like that.
blancs says i would not post things about someone dirty underwear...no matter what he/she did to me
JanetRealWorld says Chat 1, David and Kira's romance was one of the most passionate ones I had ever witnessed, they didn't do it justice
cmusigkap says J: Do you feel like you can get on with your life now, or will you always be in the shadows of MTV
JLD3 says Janet-Who do you think you'll remain friends with from the group? Anyone you won't keep in touch with?
JanetRealWorld says Blancs, ask me how you feel about her after the next four shows...there's much you don't know about her...but I lived with her and I don't hate her by any means but she made life really hard at Pier 70
Coby says I have never been....and especially at such a high altitude, im sure i would freak out!
chat1 says Janet, I missed the questions about David and Kira. If you're at liberty to say how much of that story was left out when it was shown on TV? It seemed kind hard to follow. Do you still keep in contact with your former roommates?
DigCommHost says Welcome to MetromixChat. Our guest tonight is Janet, cast member of MTV's "The Real World."
JanetRealWorld says Coby, do you get scared when you're unconscious?
Mabish says Do the camara men always record every little thing that goes on?
JanetRealWorld says McBain, absolutely, it's been the most positive experience of my life
JanetRealWorld says cMonkey, Mt. Everest was the most exhilerating experience of my life thus far...and by the way, I didn't pass out because of my smoke, I passed out because I was at 24,000 feet, and had never been above 500
blancs says janet...dont you think you should apologize to irene?
Coby says didn't you get scared when you fainted at such a high altitude?
whitepaws2 says would you have rather been on road rules?
mcbain says Janet, would you do it again if you had the chance? (I mean be on another Real World series)
cMonkey says what was mt. everest like?
JanetRealWorld says BTB We found out about David and Kira one month after we got there
JanetRealWorld says BTB, according to the show? I don't understand
JanetRealWorld says Coby, it ended June 1
btb says At what point in the season was David's romance revealed?
JanetRealWorld says Rminto9248, Most asked question...do you want the answer according to the show or what really happened
Coby says JANET, WHEN DID THE SHOW ACTUALLY END?
