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!

Last night's Real World: Hollywood season finale left us with a couple burning questions. For instance, we know Joey's got some crazy new job that involves working in a steel cage, but c'mon, unless his girlfriend's the Worst Driver Ever, isn't that whole hardhat-in-the-car thing slightly overkill?

Meanwhile, how do you think Charna must've felt after watching last night's episode -- and realizing that her precious farewell poinsettia was actually stolen from a nearby stop-deli?!

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.

Bri: No one knows how to put on a show quite like Bri. Between the singing, the stripping and the time she traumatized Sarah by getting freaky in the next bed, Brianna's always been a consummate performer. Bri, I'll miss your showmanship.

Joey: Sure, Joey had a bit of a rocky ride this season, but he also had his share of heartwarming moments. Like the time his boys surprised him with a sentimental goodbye gift: a trip to the nudie bar! Oh, Joey. I'll miss you and your big heart the most of all.

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!)

With the Real World: Hollywood season winding down, it's time we said goodbye to our daily installment of "Real World Dailies." And with today being the last-ever daily (until next season, at least) I've decided to end things with a double-header. First up, take a photographic look back at the roomies' glory days (who knew Kim and Sarah dressed up like the boys??) Then, after the jump, check out what Joey had to say in his final confessional.

The Real World: Hollywood finale is only 48 hours away, and it looks like the roomies are readying to bid adieu to their MTV digs. Watch as Will and Nick pick up a newly sober Joey, reflect on their experiences and discuss everything from The Chosen One's impending arrival to Kimberly's reputation as a mean drunk. Do you think Will's being too hard on Kim? Meanwhile, which Real World-er will you miss least of all?
