The Untold Truth Of Wes Bergmann

Wes Bergmann wasn't thinking much about the future when he showed up to his "Real World: Austin" audition drunk in 2005. He got cast for the show, went on to compete frequently (and win) "Challenge" seasons, and made a name for himself on the MTV franchise along the way. 

But you probably couldn't predict that future based on the popped-collar jock who took a break from Arizona State University to try his hand at reality TV. He has a random girl he met at a party the night before the casting call to thank for his MTV resume. Bergmann told Rolling Stone that when the girl suggested leaving because of her next-day audition, he made a life-altering decision. "I thought quick on my feet and said, 'You know what? So am I! And I've got this idea. Why don't we stay up all night long, get really drunk, and then show up to the interview together and tell them the story of the hijinx that we did?'" said Bergmann.

Bergmann was not even legally able to drink at the time of his casting at the young age of just 19. The "Challenge" star spoke in an interview with Farzin Vousoughian about his launch into stardom. "It kind of clicked over pretty darn fast," he said. When asked how he handled fans in public, the 38-year-old says he always takes a moment for his fans, but he is not chasing fame. "I just really love the game that I get to continually play," Bergmann said.
