[QUOTE=molds13;290110]When I was in my final round of interviews, they told me they were going in a different direction. I responded with this.[/QUOTE] I know right? Silly producers.
I'm really pulling for a Back to Chicago season. But it would have to live up to my expectations because it's my hometown and the original season was so great. But still pulling for it. Also, a question for molds (or anybody who may know the answer), do you have any idea of typically how long it is between the time the cast finds out they've been chosen and the time they start filming?

I'd like to see Chicago but I am afraid they would do an Obama Re-election/Rock The Vote tie in or something and it would would fall as flat as DC. As for the article, I think I saw one of their ads posted somewhere, maybe here, where they were looking in a past season for parents who had their child die. I thought that would be a horrible idea. I don't know if they are so much looking for stories as they are for people with vulnerabilities they can exploit to manipulate them into giving them the sort of material they want to craft a storyline they want under the guise of it just being "real".

When we spoiled that RW was heading back to New Orleans, we knew before the cast did.
[QUOTE=molds13;290436]About a month. When we spoiled that RW was heading back to New Orleans, we knew before the cast did.[/QUOTE] That's awesome. I wonder if any of the potential cast members have ever dropped out of being on the show for the simple fact that they are "back to" seasons. I mean of the newer seasons that is. Not referring to beforehand.

Can we drop this whole "Back to" thing? If season 27 happens to be in Chicago, it [B]WILL NOT[/B] be "Back to Chicago". Season 26 is NOT "Back to San Diego" Season 25 was NOT "Back to Las Vegas" Season 24 was NOT "Back to New Orleans" Why? None of those seasons paid tribute to the first time they were there. This is a whole new generation of the show. A majority of the new viewers the show has attracted (as well as the new people they cast) will know [B]nothing[/B] about the first time the show was in that particular city. As far as they're concerned, this current season is simply just "The Real World San Diego", if that. Otherwise everyday viewers just know it as "Real World" The only reason why Season 10 was "Back To New York" was because it was to pay homage to the FIRST season set in New York for the 10-Year Anniversary of the show. Please. Just quit it with the whole "Back to" biz.

Its a repeat location so therefore it is a back to season. And new generation/new viewers means bull**** right now. Its still "The Real World" not a spinoff. Let people call it/see it as they want. It's not that serious, either.

I think you misunderstood. All of the new viewers that this season of Real World San Diego attracted will have absolutely[I] no clue[/I] that an earlier season took place there. Should they care? No. Face it, the only people who really do care are the show's loyal fans. Sadly, MTV cares more about the "every-day" viewer, more than they do the show's loyal fans. What I'm trying to say is that, the new New Orleans, Las Vegas and San Diego seasons made [B]zero [/B]reference to the first time they were there. Why confuse the average viewer by adding "Back to" to the subtitle? You're right, it's not a "spin-off". But calling it "Back to (whatever)" makes it sound like a spin-off. If anything, it creates some kind of history or "previous knowledge" that new viewers might feel like they need to know about; like it's a sequel or something. It's not. It's a new cast, new house, new stories, everything. Like I said, the only reason why it worked with season 10 was because it payed respect to the first New York season, as clearly stated in the 10-year anniversary special. (which for the record aired 10 years ago, yikes!)
I'm hearing the cast will notified around Christmas time.

Like 99% of them said (2004).
That's irrelevant The facebook page means nothing though I can see why you would say that.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;290551]That's irrelevant The facebook page means nothing though I can see why you would say that.[/QUOTE] Not to channel V1_Man, but I am not sure any of it is relevant as far as BMP is concerned. Personally, I can understand not calling them "Back To" so it will seem fresh to people who did not see the originals. I think most of us could write a thesis on what BMP once did well that it no longer does, or what it does badly now, or how they could improve the show, but they are gonna cast who they wanna cast to get the types of things they wanna get, to craft the storylines that they think 13-15 year olds will eat up in order to sell ads to Sundrop, Subway, and Axe hygiene products or whoever wants to reach that group.
Hey, I just bought all 3 of those things within the last few hours. Hate the game not the player. But what BMP is saying is ridiculous. Thats like saying I shouldn't watch the remake because I haven't seen the original but this is about casting for RW 27 so let's drop it.
[QUOTE=Npresh24;290520]I'm hearing the cast will notified around Christmas time.[/QUOTE] That's about when they were notified for the New Orleans 2.0 season as well.
I wanna see a new location? is that possible? (possibly Toronto, Vancouver, Amsterdam, or Atlanta)
[QUOTE=ballinbroken;290741]I wanna see a new location? is that possible? (possibly Toronto, Vancouver, Amsterdam, or Atlanta)[/QUOTE] Doubted, but possible I suppose.
Why on Wikipedia, does it say the next season of the Real World is in pittsburgh?
[QUOTE=ballinbroken;290745]Why on Wikipedia, does it say the next season of the Real World is in pittsburgh?[/QUOTE] Because any moron can edit Wikipedia. EDIT: This moron took two notices of casting calls and automatically assumed that the next season would be in Pittsburgh. Luckily, it is none of our users.

It just kind of came natural to me. I wasn't trying to say they're going to call it Back to Chicago. I'm just simply saying I'm pulling for them to go "back to" Chicago. Not really a big deal. Everybody here probably knows what it means anyways..

[QUOTE=Npresh24;290120]Looks like were getting another Serious Season [url=http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/10/mtv-real-worlds-casting-director-explains-occupy-wall-street-ad.php]MTV ‘Real World: Occupy Wall Street’ Won’t Be Located in Zuccotti Park | TPM Idea Lab[/url][/QUOTE] 'Cause that turned out so well for the DC season.

[QUOTE=ballinbroken;290745]Why on Wikipedia, does it say the next season of the Real World is in pittsburgh?[/QUOTE] Whoever posted it got their information from Derrick's podcast with Zach and Ashley. Derrick said that he heard people talking saying that the next season will be in Pittsburgh. Definitely not a legit source but still holds more ground than other cities that have come up in speculation. I'm sure we will find out soon enough.

I am all about the warehouse locations.
To sum up everything we know 1. Direction: Serious (Similiar To DC) 2. 99.9% chance they are returning to a previous location. 3. The cast will be notified around next week 4. Location speculated: Chicago 5. Filming begins late January/early Febuary. 6. All the roomates will be at least 21 (20 with a birthday sometime during the beginning of filming)

[QUOTE=KevinW;290793]'Cause that turned out so well for the DC season. Ugh.[/QUOTE] That was random. I mean DC wasn't that bad but it wasn't all that good either.
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;290905]That was random. I mean DC wasn't that bad but it wasn't all that good either.[/QUOTE] I personally thought the DC season was ok but from a ratings and popularity standpoint it did pretty bad and I don't think the show can afford to have another season that tanks in the ratings after San Diego.
The average temperature for Chicago runs between 22-42 degrees for the time frame speculated for Real World Season 27. Would they really go to a city with that cold of weather? I just feel as thought from watching previous seasons that they have never filmed anywhere with a colder climate during the winter months other than Paris back in Season 13.
