The Real Worlders Who Should Have Been Challenge Stars

The Real World has given us some of the best Challengers. As later seasons aired, viewers would begin to pick out the roommates who’d be best suited for The Challenge. Sometimes these competitors would meet expectations, others would underperform. Then there’s a few competitors who never made the jump. They just did The Real World and nothing further. This post is inspired by the fact … Continue reading The Real Worlders Who Should Have Been Challenge Stars

All Thirty Two Real World Seasons Ranked

The Real World is officially back… on Facebook Watch this time. While the season is simply called “Real World Atlanta,” that does not pay respect to the 32 prior seasons of the show. That is a lot of history and a lot of people have viewed the show over the years. Here is my ranking of all thirty-two prior seasons. This is clearly biased, but I do … Continue reading All Thirty Two Real World Seasons Ranked

Game Changers: Real World Brooklyn

The Real World is a show whose formula seemed mostly unchanged, at least for the first twenty-eight seasons. There have been some shifts in the direction in the show, but the late 00’s found the show getting somewhat stale.

The concept of young adults partying and … Continue reading Game Changers: Real World Brooklyn

10 People Who Did Worse than Theo… and Stayed in the House!

We all know The Real World and The Challenge loves a good fight. Despite the fact that people set sent home for fighting, production always includes these fights in the promos to lure in viewers. This week we saw Theo get kicked off Real World Bad Blood for violating the “no fighting” rule. I’d really like to see his contract so see what this rule … Continue reading 10 People Who Did Worse than Theo… and Stayed in the House!
