Audience members enjoyed learning about the secrets behind the infamous "Real World" cameras.
"I enjoyed the inside scoop and reality television and how they didn't have light switches," said Nathan Muller, a freshmen television, radio and film major.
Life on the set of "The Real World" house was a little strange at first for Moyal, who isn't used to having to give a 10-minute warning before she leaves the house. Moyal's typical day was a lot less glamorous than some would think. She woke up at noon, got coffee, hung around the house until 9, hit the bars until 2 and lived it up at the after-party in the house until 4.
"We look like we were really uncultured, laying around the house all day and partying six nights a week," Moyal said. "It was hard to do anything because most places like malls and museums wouldn't allow cameras inside."
As far as getting used to the cameras, Moyal had no problem due to the familiarity of the faces behind them.
"They have these ex-models on the crew that we aren't allowed to talk to, and to this day they are the most gorgeous people I have seen," Moyal said.
Even though contact was strictly forbidden until after the show, one camera man whispered "happy Passover" to Moyal during the Jewish holiday that they both celebrated.
Returning to a normal life, Moyal still lives with her boyfriend she dated during the show and plans on attending State University of New York at Albany or University of Massachusetts Amherst in the fall to finish her nursing degree. As for "The Real World," Moyal plans to participate in the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" if it is held during the summer.
"I am not going to be one of those 30-year-olds still doing 'Road Rules,'" Moyal said.
