Though it’s been nearly 20 years, theReal World: Austincast still remains close.
On Sunday, Oct. 13,Wes Bergmann, Nehemiah Clark, Rachel Moyal-Smith, Melinda Collins (née Stolp) and Lacey Hanmer (née Buehler) opened up about their not-so-official reunion with a joint post shared to Instagram.
“This weekend was the informalReal World: Austinreunion,” the group captioned the post. “We talked, laughed, cried, and binge watched our season. It’s not cliché to say that this is a family.”
They continued, joking that if they were to step back on camera for another episode, “We’d be the most entertaining formal, televised, reunion - ever,” and adding, “There is still a lot to unpack.”
“Neither Johanna or Danny were able to make it. But they we missed,” the fivesome continued, referencing fellow costars Johanna Botta and Danny Jamieson. “We talked to Danny on FaceTime and for all those wondering he’s hot AF.”
Alongside photos of the cast having lunch, enjoying a round of golf and posing for group pictures, the post concluded with “#RealWorldAustin”. Bergmann’s wifeAmanda Hornickandtheir daughteralso joined in on the fun.
The Austin iteration of the long-running reality show aired from June-November 2005. It was the 16th season ofThe Real Worldfranchise, which follows a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city.
