It's simply cost prohibitive. As it is now, it's the most expensive program in the MTV budget which is one reason that the execs at Viacom always talk about killing the show.

GOOOOOOOO BULLS!



ok sorry... i got to usf too...

do you know how much it costs to produce each season?

I don't know exact amounts. Production costs are closely guarded secrets. One of the things I do as an executive producer and contractor/consultant is to manage costs on reality shows. There are several professional software tools used to manage accounts for TV and movies that are standard across the industry.

I did have access to the actual production costs of an early Big Brother season and know there is no way MTV would spend that kind of money on RW. MTV and Bunin Murray -- as their casts will affirm -- are "thrifty" at best.

Well, i guess the only thing to do is hire top secret agent ninjas and demand them to do what we say LOL

Interesting,Carroll Gardens is a odd choice being that Red Hook isn't to far.I'm almost giddy with anticipation to see if someone gets their "Jewels Ran".

new brooklyn news from curbed.com
The Real World Red Hook thing that we first reported earlier this week via a tipster may be (sort of) confirmed. Unofficially. There are reports of work going on at the Pier 41 building, which houses Steve's Key Lime Pies, among other businesses, and of people being unable to talk about things because they've signed papers. Metro says that "workers at Pier 41, a commercial building on Van Dyke Street, confirmed that MTV will house the next season of the show (and the next seven participants) there," proving the adage that it's always best to go straight to the source. Most telling, though, is that Greg O’Connell, who owns Pier 41, "said he signed a waiver of confidentiality and declined to speak." The Brooklyn Paper adds that Mr. O'Connell says he's "signed some papers." Which is pretty much all the confirmation one needs that it's looking very much like Real World Red Hook.
