Out in the world, I’m an equal-opportunity gentleman. I treat all women with respect. I have good boundaries. I defend a woman’s right to be whatever she wants to be. I vote that way.
However.
In my own little world, I’m a Dominant male chauvinist.
This weekend I decided to sign up for Hulu Plus, for the sole reason that I wanted to stream Real World seasons 3 and 4. There’s an amazing scene in Season 3 when the cast is eating dinner and has a fight about Beverly Hills, 90210. Puck apparently hated 90210, and goes on a tirade about Brandon. The episode aired on July 21, 1994. The genius of 90210 episode “Unreal World” (aired March 15, 1995) is now even more apparent.
While the AMD Candi is busy with All-Star Weekend, securing events four months down the line, finishing photoshoots and working on the post-production of music videos, CEO Annmarie Debrito has been fastidiously working for her next big venture: reality television. While AMD Candi remains a separate entity from the show, stay tuned to our social links for some major news to drop very soon.
No stranger to ambition, Debrito admits she may have let the cat out of the bag a bit too early. Typically, the reality show process from an idea written on a napkin to setting your DVR to record takes about a fewyears. But the good news is, the team is actively finalizing cast members and will soon start filming this in warmer temperatures this Summer. As a Rhode Island native, Debrito plans to showcase the beauty of the state including Newport, Providence, and Jamestown, the home of the stars, with much of New England to be shown as well.
I met with Annmarie to ask some user-generated questions to which she enthusiastically replied:
Have you gotten much or any support?
Annmarie Debrito: Absolutely, the networks have been great and given me the support I need. Business owners in RI, have also given me tons of support, along with those very close to me. Its not about the quantity, but more about the quality of supporters. This I have most definitely learned. But, most importantly I have GOD and that’s what matters to me.

Annmarie Debrito: Yes, the main shooting locations will be in Rhode Island, but I will also be shooting in Massachusetts and Connecticut. It will most definitely capture New England.
What show is it similar to?

Why this network?

When are you filming?
Annmarie Debrito: If casting, goes well and I find the right ladies then we will begin this summer. I am not in a rush. This has to be right. The cast has to be perfect. I’m not just looking to have 1 season. I want seasons after seasons.
When does it air?
Annmarie Debrito: That I do not control. Once filming is complete the network chooses what day, time slot, and season they air the show.
