Online Reality Show Spinoff
In 2007, ABC Family created a website www.virtualrush.com that was to be used in conjunction with the Greek television series. The site was maintained during the first two seasons, in which the users of the site competed in a wide variety of contests in order to become an extra on the show. During the first season of the contest, a five part online reality series called Rush*d followed the six finalists that were selected by ABC Family staff from their hometowns and college campuses to Los Angeles.
The Finalists:
- Chrissy Celotto – Van Wilder
- Luke Martin – IvoryRockstar
- Nate McGee – NJMCGEE
- Jay Stephens – ChiKappaDelta
- Jenna Walsh – Jenziebabe
- Laura Wise – Whitecup
In the fifth episode of Rush'd, Laura Wise was announced the winner of the contest.
In season two of Virtual Rush, Tom Kruszewski – Puckstopper35, was announced as the winner of the second and final contest. Following the second season the website was rendered inert.

Famous quotes containing the words reality and/or show:
“Of course, in the reality of history, the Machiavellian view which glorifies the principle of violence has been able to dominate. Not the compromising conciliatory politics of humaneness, not the Erasmian, but rather the politics of vested power which firmly exploits every opportunity, politics in the sense of the “Principe,” has determined the development of European history ever since.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“You must not distort justice; you must not show partiality; and you must not accept bribes, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 16:19.
