Cast Members
Allison
Kit
Carlos
Mark
Shelly
Alison is the one member of the cast who hailed from New York. Alison, who is a good student, decided to take time off from school to enjoy her Road Rules adventure. On the trip Alison had a brief stint with the Mayor of Nogales, Louie Valdez. It was the cast's duty to get the key to the city by winning the town decathalon. According to Mark, Alison got "a little more than the key to the city that night." Appearing on screen with Carlos, the two quickly became well known for thier on-screen arguments. When the show wrapped up filming, Alison admitted that she constantly felt she was the butt of her castmates' jokes. She went further to admit that she was happy when her experience had ended. However, she also said that she never regretted a thing! Today, Alison is back in New York where she just recently completed earning her medical degree. She also has a boyfriend (don't worry...his name is NOT Louie nor is he the mayor of Nogalis.)
Well what can we say about Carlos, or "Carrrrrrrloooooooos" as he preferred to be called upon meeting Alison's mother. Carlos, or Los, was arguably the least favorite of the cast but was an interesting addition to the first season. He was an avid photographer and attended Howard University, from which he recently graduated. Of all his interactons he seemed to have enjoyed attacking Shelly and Alison the most. Many may remember his shaved head and his famous Indian accent when the crew was in Las Vegas completing their mission.
Mark, the Florida college boy, was instantly referred to as the "magnum" sized member because of his condom comment in the early episodes of season one. He was originally cast in the pilot season of Road Rules, which never aired on MTV. Of all the castmates Mark traveled with, he was the most experienced in the Real World/Road Rules "biz." Before his debut on Road Rules, Mark was up for Puck's position on the 3rd season of Real World. He was ulitimately turned down for the position becase of his resemblance to the Ken doll. Recently Mark has been seen starring in numerous television pilots and in a Babyface video. He has been spotted in a Playboy movie called "Guarded Secrets," and in numerous Road Rules videos. Mark was the first one cast for his season of Road Rules. During his Road Rules adventure he was nick-named "Big Hair" by Kit. She and Mark had a little on-screen romance during the taping of the show - they claim, however, it was nothing more!

Kit hails frim Atlanta, Georgia, which she affectionately refers to as "HOTlanta." Kit began traveling across the United States while in college. Durning the show she had a brief stint with castmate Mark. It is this stint that caused an argument to begin with her then-boyfriend Andy. She has been spotted on television (American Journal, E! News, Fox Files) and Road Rules videos. Kit is the only castmate in the history of the show to have known at least one person at every state they stopped in.
Shelly is the Native American castmate who intrigued Mark with her lastname. Along with Alison, Shelly had her share of conflicts of with Carlos. Shelly for a brief period of time was Carlos' love interest; however, that quickly changed with Shelly's response to his provocation of arguments. Characterized by her collection of tattoos, the audience quickly learned that Shelly was an avid follower of the heavy metal genre. After Road Rules she worked as a clerk for Edmund Motor Freight, trying to save up enough money to take a European vacation with her mother, whom she lives with in Oklahoma City. Shelly is interested in eventually going to college and studying Criminal Justice with a focus on Native American issues. She has had thoughts of becoming a lawyer. Plans for that seem to be on hold, at least
