The Real World: Generic Thread

[arilicious]

Key West was a living nightmare for the producers, I doubt they would go back there. I want a snowy season, Boston and B2 New York are the only seasons I remember being filmed in the winter.

I want a snowy season too! And get snowbound would be GREAT to see (sucks for the roommates, but fun for us to see, hehehe)

Pittsburgh, Vancouver and Minneapolis are 3 cities I'd like to see with a winter season.
I'm sure there's likely some other good options--Buffalo, Cleveland, etc

Next season, i'd love to see..

1) An African American roommate who is "white-washed" and doesn't like/hang with people of his/her race.
2) Polar opposite of roommate 1. African American, but is uber stereotypical and contrantational.

I've been called "the whitest black girl [someone's] ever met" several times before and I'm confrontational... I'm not sure why you think those two are opposite.

They could both be confrontational, They just need to have conflicting views and outlooks on life. I think the problem that Real World is having lately is that they are only casting people who say stuff like "I speak what's on my mind and I like to party". Well, It doesn't matter what's on your mind if 6 other people feel the same way. They need to go back to casting seasons like Hollywood and Denver.

What I found interesting about the Denver season was that none of the castmates really had such 'interesting' back stories.
Jenn- party girl, BF back home
Colie- party girl, BF back home
Brooke- bipolar, possibly?
Alex- love triangle with Jenn and Colie
Davis- gay, family doesn't approve
Stephen- conservative, Christian, black
Tyrie- rough past, black

So aside from Davis and Tyrie, none of them really have such interesting back stories, yet, they all made for interesting TV.

In SD2, however, a lot of the roommates did have interesting back stories, yet they were all boring.
Alex- graduated HS at 14, went to Stanford, musician, accomplished tons of things before she was 21 and what did she bring to the show? Her BF not wanting to hold hands with her?
Frank- gay/bi, not accepted by other roommates, alcoholic?, crazy ***
Nate- best friend committed suicide
Sam- gay, not accepted by other roommates
Zach- uberconservative, homophobe?
Ashley- has a nice *** and nothing else
Priscilla- underage, can't drink, Mexican descent

So while the SD castmates seem like they would be more interesting, they weren't.

Pris, Alex, Nate, Ashley, Sam, shouldn't have been on the show at all. I didn't find any of them interesting compared to the people in Denver...or any other season.

Alex - the whole "AIDS Organization, graduated early" thing is admirable, but seriously..who cares?

Nate - Boring. The "I'm randomly crying during fireworks because I lost my best friend " was cute, though.

Pris - Extra-boring. If they were going to cast someone underage, they should have went with someone more outgoing and controversial. And being of "Mexican decent" doesn't make you interesting.

Sam - We get it, you're a lesbian.

I actually like Pris as a person, she seemed like a girl I would totally get along with, I just wish she hadn't been underage in her season, so we could've gotten to see more of how she was like when they went to Mexico, hahaha.
