The Real World: Las Vegas (2011 season)

After filming

The reunion for the 2011 season of The Real World: Las Vegas aired on June 8, 2011, with Maria Menounos as host. The entire cast talked about their time on the show and what they had been doing since filming wrapped. After the season ended, Leroy went back to his sanitation job in Dallas. Heather returned to Monmouth University to study TV communications.

Naomi went back to Buffalo State College for TV journalism and stays in contact with Nany, who moved back to Jamestown, New York, where she works as a waitress and hopes to find other opportunities. Cooke started working at a nuclear power plant in North Carolina and began a relationship with a man named Jacob. Michael returned to College Park, Maryland, with plans to attend grad school for agricultural development. Dustin went back to Louisiana, where he stays busy with friends, physical activities, and riding his motorcycle.

During the reunion, Cooke talked about her difficult first impressions with her housemates, including a kiss with Dustin that Leroy set up, which made Heather jealous. An argument broke out when Mike accused Dustin of homophobia after Dustin’s past in gay porn came up. Heather said she was still confused about why Dustin kept those details hidden. Dustin tried to be friends with Mike, but Mike resisted, calling Dustin narcissistic.

The cast discussed Leroy’s promiscuity, with Naomi sharing her thoughts on whether he could maintain future relationships, though Leroy and Mike’s “bromance” led to them exchanging friendship bracelets. Twitter fights among the housemates were also brought up, and the reunion ended with a preview of The Challenge: Rivals. After the reunion, it came out that Dustin and Heather had started living together.
