On Tuesday we asked you to guess the next Real World city. The 18% of you who guessed Washington D.C. might be on to something! If this job posting from producer Bunim/Murray is any indication.

The company, which has produced all 257 seasons of Real World as well as other reality dreck, has put an ad on EntertainmentCareers.net looking for a "FULL TIME" production accountant for an as-yet-unnamed reality series filming in the Beltway area:

Really this makes complete sense. Ever since Barry O. came shuffling up to politics, his groundswell populist hat in hand, DC is a cool, inspiring, exciting place to be. You couldn't have been a bigger square in squaresville if you lived and worked in the city during Bush's millennium kick-off reign of terror. But now everyone wants in. The cast mates could be, like, political volunteers or something! Imagine the effect! The change! The hope!

Please let them live in Southeast....pretentious bastards.

@Amarain824: Oh, I have no doubt that they'd be located in NW somewhere. Never NE and if the put them in SE, it'd be the Capital Hill part, not Anacostia. Though I may just watch the show if did and started hanging out at bars like Tune Inn and Phase 1.

@WashingMyHair: the RW house will either be on 18th Street in A-M, U Street (maybe — but probably much too hip), Capitol Hill (which won't be cool at all but will scream "Washington"), or — brace — Georgetown somewhere, where at least we can corral the Real Worlders together with the Northern Virginians.

Even with the Obamas as First Residents, there is no duller city in America than D.C. Well, maybe Oklahoma City.

@MrInBetween: Let's see. There was a Real World Denver and a Real World Seattle. I think, between Adams-Morgan, U Street, Georgetown and Dupont the Real World kids will never run out of places to throw up and fuck.

You say that like the wider context of the city actually mattered to the RW producers. They haven't given a shit since the London season.

Bad taste joke alert, bad taste joke alert...

Really, I heard that Oklahoma city was a blast.

I will now shower to rid myself of such a Jezebelian comment.

I was just in DC last weekend — while there may be a bit of "buzz" around DC since Obama's arrival, I'm sad to report that the city is actually as boring and depressing as ever.

@ColleenRodent: You're not doing it right. And I'm sure the Realworld cast won't either. Which is sad, becuase it could be a cool profile, but won't be.

@ColleenRodent: If your DC experience is or has been limited to The Mall, Penn Quarter, and/or Dupont Circle (areas analogous to Midtown Manhattan), of course it's boring and depressing. DC's like celery root; you've got to really work to get in it and then, you find a subtle depth of flavor. We natives like it that way, because we detest out-of-towners almost as much as New Yorkers do.

Watching 7 wannabes ruin their aspiring political careers due to on-air drunken shenanigans will be mildly amusing to watch.

And it has excellent Richard recap potential.

Recap!

Please Richard, Richard. Richard, Richard, please.

@uninspired: @Smitros: I know, right? If Brooklyn was that surreal, just imagine what happens when all the kids feel like they're entitled to meet Barry himself...
