The Official MTV's The Real World Thread

[John]

I think next episode is the one where Diem leaves and it looks so heartbreaking

[alwaysAMC]

Violette and Sylvia really are trash. Such vile pieces of sh!t. I can't even describe how nasty they are. Terrible casting this year.

IA. I just watched the fight episode. I wish they'd kick them out but since V's skeleton hant come on yet, of course they are going to keep her. She's such a hypocrite too. She fights with Madison for getting involved in drama that was none of her business but by doing so, she is getting involved in that same drama thats none of her business!

Violetta has been hyping herself up and her skeleton for weeks. I would love it if RW didnt bring that girl but instead had someone else in mind

[NothinButAttitude]

Violetta and Sylvia know what they are doing. They're playing up to the camera so they can start their careers as future challengers. Those two along with Jason and Nicole. The four of them are extra and play up to the cameras all the damn time. IMO, they should've made Sylvia and Violetta either go home or seek anger management like they Stephen in Seattle and Brynn in Las Vegas. Their actions should not go unpunished.

With the exception of Madison, Tony, Bruno, and Tony's ex, Alyssa, I hate this cast. They are possibly the worst surpassing the DC cast, and that cast was dreadfully boring. But at least they were authentic. Jon Murray has destroyed this show and made it into a Jersey Shore knockoff. Sad because most people involved with Jersey Shore have moved on and so has the audience.

Real World has always been the socially conscious show so why stray?

Why break away from the model, which worked successfully for 28 seasons?

As I stated before, if the show wanted change, they should've simply went from 7-8 strangers to 14 strangers (7 guys and gals) from all over the world with different beliefs and backgrounds. With that large cast, which they've been having for the past two seasons, they would've had enough big personalities to have drama.

My god, Violetta's skeletons were the lamest s--t ever! She hyped this up so much and she didnt do s--t. There was nothing explosive or hostile about this and it was boring as hell. Typical he said, she said nonsense which didnt amount to anything

The Real World hasn't had my attention since like Hawaii.

They cast trash.

I don't know how the show has veered so off course. It's all about getting drunk, sleeping around and yelling at each other.

[Skin]

It's sad to see what Real World has come to they used to be a very inspirational show that taught people and introduced the audience to real social issues. Now it's mostly just used as a branding machine to launch more reality television trash, with no talent. I used to love Real World back when they had a message and something to say, but I would say since Vegas and San Diego they've had little to say to their audiences. This is one of the reasons I can't stand reality television, it's taking over and provides pretty much no value.

anyone still watching? Bruno's brother was the best skeleton of the season. Man the last episode was CRAZY. That was some good stuff

The series is being re-launched on Facebook Watch along with native Mexican and Thai versions:

I loved this show for a very long time. I want to say Cancun with Joey was one of the last ones I watched all the way through.

[Soapsuds]

I think the last full season I saw was when Danny was dating the in the closet military guy. Where they couldn't show his face and showed it blurry....LOL All we could see was his hands...LOL

The debut season of this show seemed, pardon the pun, real. Just 7 individuals trying to find their way in NYC. Eric, Julie, Becky, Heather, André, Kevin, and Norman (and the dog, Gouda!) seemed grounded yet managed to have friction because of their different backgrounds.

 

The last season I watched was only S2 or 3, the one in San Francisco with Puck, Pedro, Rachel, and the rest.

 

And then it just turned into a hot mess to see who could drink, screw, or yell the most. And the "real" in "Real World" was no more!

 

To think that first cast is now in their 40s (like me -eek!).

It became too predictable...the African American .....the gay guy.....the instigator.....when will they find he is gay? Who will be the gay hater one? 

[Faulkner]

Danny from the New Orleans cast has revealed his HIV+ status. He was diagnosed in 2011.

I read that...so sad...he was my all time favorite of the entire run. He is so hot!  Glad the medication is working and that it can hardly be detected. I wonder if he is still with bf? I read where he had a new one but no mention of it on the article just his daughter.
