I already showed you some of my behind-the-scenes reunion pics but there's a whole lot more where that came from. And since I have the short-term memory of a goldfish, I figured it would help to keep a handy-dandy diary of my stint hanging out with the Real World: Hollywood cast. Here's a day in the life of a reunion-crasher.

9:00. Wake up, brush my teeth, remind self that in less than 2 hours I'll be hanging with the RW Hollywood-ers. Mentally prepare by re-watching "Let's Not Ghetto" scene and pretending to make myself cry.

As I told you last week, I had the distinct privilege of hanging out with the Real World: Hollywood cast before/after the taping of Saturday's live reunion. Here's some of what I learned from chatting up the roomies in the Green Room before the show.

• Will can sleep anywhere. At any time.

• Sarah could seriously put an eye out with that engagement ring (or should I say "engagement bling?")

XX was quite the season. While we're all accustomed to seeing our fair share of Real World boozing and hooking up, I don't think anyone was prepared for the debauchery that ensued at the RW: Hollywood house this time around. Let us reflect:

Intervention... check.
Lying, cheating, fake crying... check.
Coed bar brawl... check.
Secret sharing of female "associates"... check.
Orgy... check.
And so much more!

So what could possibly follow up an experience like that? I reached out to all the roommates to see what they've been up to lately. While three of them totally ignored me, the rest -- Nick, Brittini, Will, Kim, Joey and Brianna -- haven't gotten too big for their britches. Check in with them below!

WILL

I'm now back in Los Angeles, and I've got a lot going on in terms of my music career. RW failed to show that I'm a DJ, so I've also been traveling around North America doing that. I picked up a songwriting publishing deal, am selling tracks to indies like crack, and am producing for a couple of artists. It pays my bills.

Janelle and I broke up six hours after the cameras stopped rolling. Can we all assume why? Ive dated other lady Real Worlders since and let me tell you... MTV breeds some pretentious divas, only hungry for camera time. Wow.

I still speak with Brianna, Nick, Dave, and Joey. Also, James Grace from the IO. And when I'm in Chicago, I always break bread with Charna. Andy Dick drunk dialed me once when I was in Mexico. I hooked up with that Laguna Beach girl who wouldn't sign to be on camera. We still talk. And my production team still does biz with all the musicians you did and didn't see during the season.

Final thoughts on the Real World experience? After being the guy in the background all my life, I became a leader in the house. That was the best thing I got out of it. Regrets? I shouldn't have pleaded the 5th when directors tried to interview me about my relationship with Sarah in the beginning. And maybe I should have defended Greg when he got fired because it wasn't even a job. I feel like the editing of these storylines left viewers misinformed and a little confused.

Next up for me... I have a remix album for fans at BounceCouncil.com and a collaboration album coming later this summer. Plus, I have an MTV spin-off in the works where a series of skips, skanks, and skallywags live in a house and compete for a shot as My Kindergarten Crush!

Hit me up anytime at Myspace.com/BounceCouncil.

Hear from KIM, NICK, BRITTINI, JOEY, and BRIANNA... after the jump!

In case you hadn't noticed, we happen to be extremely partial to lists around here. And since we've already hit you with What We'll Miss Most About RW: Hollywood, Real World Superlatives, the Most Quotastic Moments From Cancun, the Best/Worst of Joey's RW Run, our All-Time Fave Bri Moments, and, of course, the RW ABC's we figured it was time to put our love into numerical perspective and say goodbye. (Let the countdown to tonight's season finale begin!)

10: The number of times I watched (and re-watched) the scene where Will makes himself cry by staring intently at his own reflection while daydreaming about wasabi.

9: The total number of Real World: Hollywood cast members this season (that's the original seven strangers who were picked to live in a house together, plus latecomers Nick and Brittini)

8. The number (on a scale from 1-10) that best describes the awesomeness of JoJo's bedazzling gun-shaped belt buckle.

7. The total number of guests allowed in the Hollywood house at any given time. (See: the "Let's Not Get Ghetto" incident).

6. The number of roomies who promised to wholeheartedly support Joey and his newfound sobriety.

5. The number of roomies who couldn't even go 24 hours without ditching Joey for a wild (drunken) night on the town.

With only one day until the Real World finale, I'm preemptively mourning the loss of my fave Hollywood gang. And since I haven't enjoyed a RW season this much since Stephen bitch-slapped Irene back in Seattle, I figured I'd let you know what makes each of these castmates so damn special.

Sarah: Like Kim, Sarah's a woman of many words. And my favorite words from her all season are a tie between her rant over Nick's "Sorry, I Only Date Blondes" shirt and the infamous "Women are not hos" argument with Greg. Oh, Sarah. I'll miss your supreme self-righteousness and, of course, your over-the-top feminist rants.

Nick: Although late to arrive, Nick nevertheless made his mark early on by making out with "one of the regulars" and insisting that he sleep on a sex-free mattress. While I'm sorry we didn't have more time together, I'll forever associate Nick with his creepy reference to elementary school sex and will miss him for his last-minute entry into the exclusive "Three Amigos" club.

Brittini: Where has this tall, vivacious flirt been all my life? I've enjoyed watching Brittini slink around the house, making come-hither eyes at Will all while chirping "I have a boyfriend" at every on-camera opportunity. Brittini, I'll miss watching you go from totally-in-love with Jeremy to stop-holding-me-back-dammit in the span of a single week.

Can’t get enough of The Real World? Neither can we! Which is why I’ve decided to sift through the Real World Dailies each afternoon to make sure you’re getting your fill of all the roomies. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)

What a difference a day makes. In last night's RW episode, Brittini was so afraid of losing Jeremy that she wussed out and "forgot" to mention the quickie-makeout with Will. Now, in today's Daily, she's suddenly come to the conclusion that Jeremy is "holding [her] back." (And that's just from five days of not hearing from the guy!) Hmm, if drunken hookups are Brittini's way of "holding back" I can't imagine what will happen once she decides to really let herself go...

On last night's episode of Real World: Hollywood, the roomies somehow made it all the way to Cancun and back -- and between all the girl-on-girl fighting, the cheating, and the "I Miss Janelle" orgy, everyone found time to weigh in with their two cents. Check out the first edition of Quotastic RW Moments and stay tuned for more later on today.

First up: Nick inadvertently overshares about his pre-teens, then Sarah and Kim clash with Bri by bringing up the taboo subject of her brush with the law.

"She got her rocks off and then she was done...I haven't worked that hard since elementary school." --Nick, after his one-night stand. (Seriously, which school was this kid going to??)

"You all got to help me out with this. My thing is, if I kiss everyone here, including you two, then it's okay." --Will, propositioning Dave and Nick
"Um, not really. Not in my book." --Nick, not interested
"Cause it was just, like, a friendly rooomate thing." --Will
"Well, since you're being real friendly, wanna tickle my b@!!%?" --Dave Read more...

After all that talk about how everything between her and Will is so innocent, Brittini finally admits to having not-so-innocent thoughts about him. Think she'll act on her feelings? Or will she summon up that last ounce of restraint in just the nick of time?
