Like the man who nominated him, Donald Trump’s pick for Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has a history as a reality star. And in 1997, he made the most of his time on MTV The real world: Bostonas the show’s most sex-crazed cast member.

Now a former congressman and former Fox News contributor, Duffy has been quite open about his experiences as one of seven strangers who chose to live together in a house for America’s entertainment. He met his wife, also a Fox News personality who starred The real world: San FranciscoRachel Campos-Duffy, in an all-star version of the series.

“We got married, fell in love and now have nine children,” Duffy said in an interview Youtube interview from 2019. “We are the most productive Real world pair of all time. Nobody beats us.”

And while the former congressman admitted in the same interview that “you look back now, you look at the things you said and did (on the show), it’s embarrassing,” he also called the experience “amazing.”

And if you watch Duffy’s season on the show, you can see how great it was for the then-law student. His fellow cast members at the time described him as a “jock-type guy” who “likes to party” – and as a viewer you see Duffy doing just that, and quite often during his season.

One storyline in particular showed his fixation on wanting to have sex with a female castmate who identifies as a lesbian, while other parts of the season showed him flirting with another female cast member, who he tried to get in front of him to masturbate. . He used romantic expressions like ‘feel my noodle’ in an attempt to make that possible.

But he didn’t just fantasize about his roommates on screen. In one episode, he missed a meeting with children he was supposed to mentor in order to connect with a “local girl.” And when MTVs Traffic rules had a crossover episode with Real world near the end of his season, he went out with a literal bang, as viewers discover he’s dating a cast member That also show.

said one of him Real world castmates of Duffy and his latest affair: ‘They went to town. They went into the bathroom. Had her against the wall. You know what I mean.”

After meeting his wife and presumably finishing his “holidays,” Duffy completed law school, became a congressman, went to work at Fox News and could now become the nation’s next Secretary of Transportation. But it could be difficult for anyone watching The real world in the 1990s to take him seriously.
