What MTV reality show includes Evan Starkman among the cast?”
Evan Starkman, a senior at Cornell, was a former contestant on MTV’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat in 2006. He sat down with SIOC to discuss the experience. SI On Campus: Let’s start at the beginning. What was the secret to your success in your MTV audition? Evan Starkman: It’s so lucky — the second time I went in I got picked, but it could have been anyone, you know? And that’s what frustrates me about a lot of kids on the show — they think they’re special, or they poo ice cream or something. It could have been anybody. I don’t know how it works, I don’t know how they pick the people, it’s just luck. SIOC: What is it like to come back to Ithaca, N.Y., and try to be a normal Cornell student after being on MTV? ES: It’s definitely different. I think the challenge is that you do for a short time become the most recognized person in America. … It’s just kind of hard to walk into a class and people are taking pictures with camera phones or yelling at you or whispering.
