Real World Miami's Flora reflects back on her season, a potential homecoming and more! EP

[@jenhall7713]

Yes !!! Yes!! And yes!!! My all time favorite! Thank u. This was the original Coral in my book!

[@pistachiosandpopcorn7146]

Oh wow I can see it. I started watching the boston season so I haven't really seen Flora's season..not enough to really know her anyway. Dan is the only one from that season that I really know (you know what I mean). But I totally see it. And I love that she says she doesn't regret anything. Nowadays there are too many people apologizing for things because of pressure..and I don't like it.

Great stuff, Mike! Flora is undoubtedly an iconic cast member.

By far my favorite cast member. She is so entertaining

What a score. Flora is one of the last cast members I would've expected to have agreed to an interview.

I love flora great interview Mike

[@ravenmaize]

Excellet interview. Flora is exactly the same, with a more chilled vibe, and the host isn’t bad to look at, too!

[@pistachiosandpopcorn7146]

Well she is proving what I think now at my ripe old age....screw the fun jobs..like being an actor..for instance. I wish I had a business/straight money frame of mind when I was young instead of chasing after something fun.

[@VPRlover]

We love you Flora!! You look exactly the same ! Gorgeous as ever 💜

[@r.d.493]

I binge watched the Miami season before watching this interview and one moment that I kept rewinding was the argument that Flora had with Mike that started with her refusing to shell out $20 for Joe's birthday and graduation party and ended with her vowing to toast Dan in front of all the roommates for his speculation that Mitchell and hit Flora. It was great!

Anyone who is saying every 30 seconds that they are rich, or vaguely announcing that they're retired...is either really broke, or is doing stuff illegally. She kept saying how comfortablely and how much of a business woman she is..but never gave a concrete example of a legitimate business she owned.

Queen Flora.

[@garycollins7750]

I think in a lot of ways reality TV had devolved, because there’s too much playing to the camera, and the cast trying to construct a persona coming in then that’s the only side the viewer sees is what character they’re trying to play. But now the cast is too over exposed from going to on the show to a challenge they don’t have a lot to talk about in terms of personal life, going from one show to another so they really have nothing to talk about since they haven’t lived outside of the context of the show.

[@Desertpuma]

I remember seeing that when it aired it stung, Cynthia was the most cool, she did not start fights with anyone and that was unnecessary. Hopefully flora has grown because initially I really liked her til I heard that, gotta see where people are at later in life.😊

[@kelp71]

Lots of love for Flora in the comments I see, but I remember her as being very unkind. Am I mistaking her for someone else?

[@justalilsparkle7873]

Yeah she was very nasty to people. I read after that one of her cast mates said the cameras didn't even capture just how bitchy she was. Hopefully she is nicer now.

[@noelohashirodriguez]

MTv Real World was the best Reality show in every way. The Soundtrack and the buds kept us hanged on to them, as they didn't stand imprisoned in the house and the cameras followed them to the market, mall, restaurants, bars, offices. It was awesome! Their exotic trips made us fly far away and their interaction allowed us to be who we are, corageous and real 🤗🤗🤗🤗

🥇 Flora's the best ♥️

[@carolcraig2580]

Great to see Flora!

[@crystalschuler1112]

Miami was my favorite and Flora is funny as he'll without even trying!!!

[@JACKOTACO]

Miami was far and away my favorite season. It was an authentic season where the cast members were just being real. Unfortunately, it was not long after, perhaps after Real World Chicago where the dynamics change. Cast members began philandering around with one another(Yes, I know there was an instance in this season that it ALMOST happened) and cast members began to resemble Abercrombie & Fitch models rather than be everyday schmos. This goes the same for the Challenge. Early on, cast members from the Real World would compete for a single episode or two v the members of the Road Rules. It was fun and that was that. It didn't need to become Survivor-esque. The Road Rules were just as great. if you ever get the chance, watch Road Rules: Islands. A great cast.

[@alejandromolinac]

HAHAHAH.... I noticed that.... Paris was the last season I ever watched.... The 90's shows had more "regular" looking people....

[@malcolmxpanther]

Vegas changed everything. It became trash TV and every other reality show took notice. The original 11 season was more of a documentary, especially the first five seasons.

[@deesee3622]

The first seven were the best imo

[@JACKOTACO]

@@deesee3622 I think so as well. Even though I enjoyed Hawaii and NO. But yes, the first seven were simply great. I even enjoyed London, where many people did not.

[@MikeLewisPodcast]

Fact

[@khsimagesdotcom856]

The Real World started as a show casting people whose personas were their professions (like country singer, rapper, race car driver, comic book artist, DJ, super model, etc.). Miami was the first season presenting a cast who were personified more by their personalities. While the show was still entertaining, that's when it established the trashier programming that became synonymous with what's known as most of today's reality TV.
