From 2003 to 2006, VH1’s The Surreal Life gave viewers a look at what happens when a group of mid-level celebrities live in a house together, taking fading stars from different areas of Hollywood and putting them together for two weeks.
The housemates’ antics were all captured on camera, as well as their participation in various group activities and the resulting and inevitable drama that comes with a large group of people living under one roof.
