We recently got to catch up with Frank Roessler from The Gauntlet III (which premieres tonight at 10 PM EST) and The Real World: Las Vegas. We discuss everything from dating to what he thinks of his fellow cast mates.

Hey Frank, how's it going?
Pretty good, I’m in the Library studying right now.
Obviously not doing very much studying since you're doing an interview with us.
Are you single, dating, taken? I heard you're roommates with Jillian from Road Rules: Extreme… how did that come about? Anything more there?
I’m in a relationship. I met Jillian on the challenge and we hit it off right away. I think she’s such a funny cute girl! And for some reason she likes me.
For you readers, Jillian is also appearing on The Gauntlet 3 so I'm sure we will see some lovin'. Anyhow, as to saying for "some reason she likes me," who wouldn't like an Abercrombie boy like Frank?
Are you working? If so where and doing what?
I’m in grad school, getting my MBA right now. This is my last year and I’m working hard to get a good job for when I graduate. After that I’ll have to use all my vacation time to do these challenges (jk).
Hopefully the challenges won't turn into a job like it has for so many other Real World / Road Rules cast members, best of luck in that Frank.
Do you think that people are portrayed on reality shows how they actually are or is the person twisted in some sort by the producers?
I think that a lot of people (including myself) really regret their actions. Some, however, see the way they acted on TV and don’t want to fess up to it. It's only life people! Get over it and admit that you aren’t perfect.
Side Note A) I will say that Bunim-Murray does an outstanding job of showing what you give them. I don’t really speak to anyone from the cast who is pissed at the producers.
Side Note B) I hosted an episode of Xtreme Dating once. Fakest Show Ever! The couple would have a candid conversation and the producer would interject and tell them other things to say that are more funny… and they’d do it! This is a big deal people. As an insider I’m telling you that some of these shows (not Bunim-Murray Produced) are fake. It really made me question the legitimacy of every other show I see on TV and respect the producers of Bunim-Murray so much more.
