"The
Surreal Life" features an all-star cast in a series where lifestyles
collide as they live too close for comfort in a plush Hollywood mansion. The show provides gripping entertainment and at times
mind-blowing TV, as you witness the antics of 6 celebrities locked together in
a house and filmed 24/7.
The celebrities are Brigitte Nielsen
(Red Sonja and Sly Stallone’s ex), Flavor Flav (The O-G hip hop
pioneer of Public Enemy), Jordan Knight (former New Kid On The Block), Charo
(a master of the flamenco guitar and star of the Love Boat), Dave Coulier
(Uncle Joey from kid’s classic Full House) and Ryan Starr (the
beautiful star of American Idol).
This
eclectic group of celebrities have dumped their stylists, hairdressers and PA’s
to play house together for two
weeks – with every detail of their lives taped
without a get-out clause in sight.
Witness
the blossoming relationship between 6ft plus Brigitte Nielsen and
Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav, and
other highlights - such as the
celebrities taking surfing lessons, attempting to record a group single and a
battle of
the bands.
"The
Surreal Life" provides hours of must see TV – there are celebrities
behaving badly, prima donna behaviour and
selfish tantrums, and that’s just on day one!
The
show was taped in June 2004. The house that the celebrities stayed in was the old Glen Campbell estate in the
Hollywood Hills and up on Mullholland Drive. (Currently on sale for $7.5 million)

Jordan
Knight was hesitant about joining the show at first
mainly due to the lack of privacy, but was told by his
management it'd be good publicity.
By the end of
the show he was proud that he took part and proved to
himself that he could do it. He has no regrets. |
Comedian
and Actor.
Best known for playing the goofy Uncle Joey character on the ABC's 1980's Full
House series that gave Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley their start. |
The “OG” hip-hop pioneer of Public Enemy, Flava Flav's back and
he’s still got the clock! |
|
|
|
Episode
1: Six Degrees of Irritation
|
|
See this year's cast arrive in their respective rides.
Room politics get under way and
Charo takes charge while Jordan bums out at the lack of privacy. The guests
start to unwind with a quick swim and a stiff drink and before you know it
Brigitte passes out from "jetlag." Young'un Ryan seems uncomfortable amongst the
colourful characters and Dave is forced to move into the closet because of Flav’s
snoring. And this is only the beginning!
|
|
Episode
2: Strange Love
|
|
Love, or at the very least lust, is in the air at the
Surreal Life house. Flav and Brigitte frolic in the pool when Ryan’s
girlfriends come over for a visit. Date night is announced and a wild night
ensues. Jordan tries to flirt with Ryan and gets shot down. Dave tries to score
while Charo's a snore. Ryan gets mad at Flavor for playing pool late at night
and he's forced to console himself in the confines of Brigitte's bed.
|
|
Episode
3: Battle of the Bands
|
The morning paper arrives and informs
The Surreal Life residents that they'll be participating in a 'Battle of
The Bands' with aspiring teen musicians a la School of Rock. Though the
kids are scared by Brigitte's leopard-print bathing suit, they're all excited by
the opportunity to rock with such seasoned vets. While Brigitte sleeps off yet
another bout of "jetlag," Charo has a mini-melt down and Ryan has a fit. Barry
Williams MC's the competition Battle and you’ll never guess who's team wins and
who takes credit for it.
|
|
Episode
4: Highway to Hell
|
Pack your bags and start up the RV
because the Surreal-ers are off to San Diego to see Charo live in concert. Flav
tries to get behind the wheel but Dave takes charge and Flavor pouts. Gambling
for rooms, the boys get a suite, Ryan cons her own, and Dave moves into another
closet. Charo's performance wows the gang and one of her dancer's wows Brigitte,
much to Flavor's consternation.
|
|
Episode
5: Surf School
|
Surf's up! The Lifers are going to surf
school. Who is going to drive? Flav or Dave? Dave or Flav? By default of a
prison record, Dave is the winner and takes the wheel. Flav is ticked off, but,
regardless, it's time to hit the beach. Under the supervision of Big Wave
surfing champs the Willis Brothers, Dave, Brigitte and Ryan are ready to catch
some waves. Charo's carpal tunnel and Jordan's lack of enthusiasm keep them on
the beach, and Flav is still pouting about Brigitte's non-stop flirting and his
inability to drive. In the end, big bro Willis convinces Flav to check his
attitude on the sand and hit the waves.
|
|
Episode
6: Making the Single - Part One
|
|
Rock and Roll (at least that's what Ryan hopes)! It's time
to make a hit record. Jordan puts on his producer shades and the Surreal Lifers
are ready to make some magic happen. Jordan quickly turns dictator and does not
allow for creative input from Charo or Ryan, creating the ultimate pop song, or
in Charo's words "a crazy salad". Ryan will not sell out and sing pop. She
storms out of the studio leaving the rest of the cast in suspense about whether
she will return to contribute her vocals to the record.
|
|
Episode
7: Making the Single - Part Two
|
It's not rock! It's not rock! It's not
rock! Ryan is still having a meltdown about the pop song in the bathroom.
Jordan's shades must still be on, because with the clock ticking, Jordan is
blind to the fact that Dave's mouth trumpeting should not be a priority above
laying in Ryan's lead vocals. Charo can't handle Jordan's iron fist and cracks.
Still upset, Ryan finds a compassionate ear in Flav and convinces him that
Brigitte should take over lead vocals. Unfortunately, Gitte is once again out
cold, so with the clock winding down Ryan has no choice but to sing. With no
time to spare, "Live My Life" is born.
|
|
Episode
8: Haunted Hospital
|
Ghosts, Goblins and Charo, oh my!
In this episode the Surreal Lifers are sent on a ghost hunt. With the guidance of a paranormal
specialist, the cast is sent in groups through an abandoned hospital to search
for any signs of the super-natural. Charo prays for the Spanish Armada and
Brigitte and Flav run for their lives. The cast still has goose bumps!
|
|
Episode
9: Dirty Laundry
|
Surprise! It's time for the cast to air
out their "Dirty Laundry". First, it's family bonding time at the glamour shots
studio. To please Brigitte, Flav takes off the clock and gold teeth and wears a
suit for the pictures allowing his alter ego William Drayton to come out and
play. Back at home, Sally Jessie Raphael is preparing her attack on the cast.
When they arrive, they find that the house is set up as a talk show and they are
the guests. Sally does not hold back, and the cast find out the truth about
each other. It isn't pretty!
|
|
Episode
10: Last Supper and Goodbyes
|
| It's so hard to say goodbye, or is it? Hurt from Ryan's
trash talking on "Dirty Laundry," Flav is not holding back when it comes to
pushing her buttons. Charo pleads with Flav to make peace with Ryan, but he will
not. At the last supper Flav is the last to show, but eventually makes a very
loud entrance. When the goodbye cake comes out, Flav calms down and it's all
love. Ryan starts a food fight, and the night ends with Flav and Brigitte taking
one last dip in the hot tub. In the morning everyone says their goodbyes and
goes their separate ways.

Episode
11: Best and Worst
|
|
In this very special episode of The Surreal Life, we
re-visit the houseguests after the completion of their Surreal journey as they
tell us all about their best and worst moments in the house. From hanging with
the kids during Battle of the Bands to running from ghosts at the haunted
hospital, one thing is certain, Brigitte, Flav, Charo, Jordan, Ryan and Dave had
one hell of a time. Now that they're experts on living the surreal life, they
advise the next season’s cast to remember to bring their brain, a pair of
earplugs and a couple of other vital items to get them through their journey.

Episode
12: Lost Moments
|
|
Although regular episodes of The Surreal Life's
historic third season are over, there are a few additional moments that deserve
their own spotlight. Beginning with the sick puppy's snot-filled visit with the
vet, the season's best, "Lost Moments" are highlighted, including Jordan's
clumsy attempts at flirting with an uncooperative Ryan Starr. The cast continues
a seasonal tradition and delivers brownies to neighbors as an apology for being
noisy. They also take a wild trip to a Japanese supermarket and attempt to tame
an out-of-control washing machine back at home. These hysterical, only-on-the
The Surreal Life lost moments are not to be missed. As the door closes
and the lights go out at the Hollywood Hills mansion the night’s air is pierced
with a final shout, "Flavor Flav!"
