The Real World: Generic Thread

I think if they go international again, it NEEDS to be in Canada. If not, I think either Amsterdam (that's right) or maybe Dublin.

Even though this would never ever ever EVER happen, I'd much rather see them go to Galway than Dublin. Dublin was kind of overrated IMO but Galway was absolutely awesome. Plus, it's basically like being in a college town with how many pubs they have there. Such an awesome city. Dublin's awesome too, but it just felt so touristy (and obviously I was a tourist hah), whereas Galway was just really laid back and fun to be around.

I have a few friends who live in Galway and it pretty much all of them hate place. TBH I don't think any city in Ireland would work.
The only international seasons I could ever see pulling good numbers nowadays are: London, Vancouver, Montreal, Ibiza, Amsterdam & Rio. I'd like to think Cape Town, Berlin, Toronto, Manchester & Auckland would do well too, but I'd not sure.

I searched "mtv real world" on twitter because I needed a break from studying. There have been a crapload of tweets sent to MTV asking for either a season in Canada or Atlanta. I get a feeling that we'll see a season in one of those two locations once the contract is renewed.

Also, does MTV even have any say in where the season is filmed? or is it all up to BM ?

Realistically, if they do renew it to Season 30, they should should just go to Toronto (though I think they would try Vancouver) and Atlanta; those locations haven't been used and would bring in ratings.

Locations don't bring in ratings, the people do.

The location does have an a/effect on the ratings.

I know if I heard "This season, on The Real World: Tokyo.." I'd instantly wanna watch. If I heard "This season, on The Real World: Iowa" I'd be like...really?

Tokyo would be better for the ratings in the season premiere, but I think The Real World: Iowa would be a much better season. If they were in Iowa City or Ames (College Towns), there would be a ton of bars and interesting drama because it would be able to involve the locals as well. Something like Tokyo would pretty much isolate the cast (language/cultural barrier) and result in a boring season (like what we saw in St. Thomas).
