THE REAL WORLD: PARIS starts this week with one gay roommate, Simon from Ireland. Simon lives at home and goes to high school in a small village about an hour outside Dublin. His family’s acceptance of his sexuality has allowed Simon to live an openly gay life. Since he was 16, Simon has spent his weekends enjoying the gay scene in Dublin. Simon met his Spanish boyfriend on New Year’s Eve, a few weeks before moving to Paris. Aware of the temptations of Paris nightlife, Simon plans to stay faithful. A working model with a flair for fashion, Simon intends to go to college, but has yet to apply to schools. Airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m., with frequent repeats.
