How about the Cuban girl from Miami? She was on a few years back. It was the Real World with the gay model from Kansas. I think they stayed somewhere in Florida. I cannot recall her name, but I thought she was mega-cute.
Wasn't the Cuban girl identified as a Republican? I caught some of those episodes during one of the marathon broadcasts but only vaguely remember some of the news "press" that season generated.
I think that they were trying to create "controversey" by putting a Republican woman and a gay man in the same house. Now there seems to always be at least 1 gay cast member, with possibly some bi- cast members as well.
