We are jumping the gun a bit, that guy could have been a ******* or super boring for all we know.
His story would be good but most fans nowadays watch for drama which is why the exes and bullys are there instead.
Besides I highly doubt the person who infected him would go on national TV and admit that

Agreed. Hindsight is 20/20. He could've been the most irritating character. 

Nicole is a real person, so I like having her on the show.

Most likely.

But I hate this cast. Any chance to bash or belittle them I'm taking.

I really don't understand why? Like they're easily the best cast since Vegas 2, but like most seasons, editing has been poor except for maybe one or two episodes. STT only had Marie/Toya, Portland got drug down by Marlon/Jess, SD2 had a few duds, and I couldn't even make it through a full Explosion episode. Skeltons has a cast full of hotheads with actual back stories: domestic abuse, severe drug addiction, anger issues, I mean even less interesting Tony/Nicole are bringing something to the table. I honestly feel like you just hate what the show has become and our taking it out on the wrong people.

I don't see why, this cast is much more real than explosion where Hailey and Lauren were the only girls who weren't models. Like freshmeat said this cast has stories of drug use and domestic abuse, wanting to be a parent, the realest thing from explosion was Lauren being pregnant. Aside from that it was all about the exes.

That's 100% correct. I do hate what the show has become, but I don't like this cast either. I just can't connect with anyone. With Ex-Plosion, I fell in love with Jenny, Brian, and Hailey and this season (maybe the franchise as a whole, because I feel somewhat similar about Exes 2) just isn't doing it for me anymore. 

I guess I need to move on and accept the fact that the days of New York - Brooklyn characters [and ratings] are long gone. And they're never coming back.

A finalist for this season had a aids, based on videos I have seen: His story look interesting, he was good looking and he look like a fun guy for reality TV. That I don't understand how someone like Nicole, Tony and Bruno made it, while he didn't. Especially on an skeletons theme season, just on paper his disease by itself was hell of a better skeleton that theirs.
I thought he was just HIV+, I do not think it had progressed to AIDS. Big difference!

Ypu're right! my bad for that...I saw that a while back and I totally forgot it was HIV and not AIDS 

What if he had been cast and his skeleton would have been the one that infected him with the virus (or something of that nature)? That would have been heartbreaking and... real. It would have been real. I might have actually considered watching this season.
 

Exactly! When I found out about the twist,  I wonder to myself why he didn't made the final stage...His story would have been amazing for this season, if we are talking about the same guy. Hands down not only he had the looks, but a strong story that could have teach viewers something and judging by his casting tape he was entertaining.

Anyways! I actually like this cast, I personally think is one of the best ones in years.

When it comes to ratings I wouldn't go and compared with Brooklyn/Cancun/New orleans 2/ las Vegas 2 because back then MTV was doing ten times better as a whole. During Brooklyn/Cancun it was when the whole Teen Mom and Jersey Shores ratings magnets started. Back then people complained about Brooklyn ratings, since it kept going down after the good premiered. 

Right now! MTV has been struggling big time none of their shows tend to get to a million atleast for the past 6-8 months. I think that it says a lot that The Real World have gone up every episode since it's premiered and reached the 1,113,000 mark. While Eye Candy keeps going down with more promotion. I am pretty sure MTV is also looking at how much it has increased since the premiered and how is doing compared to their other shows.

I like this cast without really... liking this cast if that makes sense? Like normally I have clear favorites but this time it's really week-to-weel. They all **** me off at times and then I really like them at others.

 

Like Sylvia for example, I've really liked her despite her angry, drunken tendencies. But that all changed this epsiode. I've done a complete 180 on her and I hope she can redeem herself in my eyes. 

I don't think this cast is that bad. I wouldn't put them on par with Vegas 2 but they're far and away better than San Diego 2/St Thomas/Portland.

And I don't get why people are complaining about what the show is now. What it is now is what it's been for YEARS now. It's nothing new here.

I totally get your point Lurker, but this show has been like this for a while now and to just take out on a cast you're not feeling is unfair.

Also I think people expect all the cast members to either be one thing or another and not be flawed. Like, Sylvia obviously was in the wrong this week but it doesn't chnage that she does have a troubled past, seems productive and passionate. People were saying "wow I like Nicole now!" Um because these people have different qualities, nothing is black and white. Speaking of the cast as a whole, I love Madison, really like Jason, and find the others decent. I think they just work together as an overall cast the best from recent seasons.

Again I think you're jumping the gun, just because he had a good story doesn't automatically mean he's entertaining. He could be the biggest ******* ever for all we know. Casting tapes don't show you much, everyone thought Thomas would be just another frat boy in his but he wasn't. That guy could have been a sahar or a baya and be a background character. Or be like Zach and Ashley K and alienate himself from the rest of the cast.

To me, Portland was dragged down by Marlon and Big Bird. I found jess obnoxious, but she was more tolerable to look at that the other girl. I'm talking shit about Skeletons simply because I haven't watched an episode except 1 with Tony and his girl problems ( I feel bad fo you son, I got 99 problems, but a ***** aint one). I'm just basing my judgemnt on that one episode. But overall, he could have been a hothead, he could have been someone very docile(not good for tv drama). But his story and perhaps his potential skeleton had they gone HIV+ story route, then could have been a great story. 

 

But what's done is done. 

"Shane/Tony has always being close...So it would have been pointless.

Jason have the 2 most interesting skeletons, so I am glad he is not the jamie of the season.

Everytime I look at Nicole, I keep wondering why this good looking straight guy that was living with aids was p*** on. He actually had an interesting storyline for an skeleton season"

 

what???

WOW. That is the sole reason why Real World isn't good anymore because of CASTING. We don't need these damn themes to bring forced drama, we just need a ******* good cast. BMP never fails to amaze me on stupid *** decisions.

Am I the only one who enjoyed Portland from start to finish.

This is a show that has produced Puck, Knight, and Jordan. I don't think him being an ******* would be a problem really.

I do, I don't like when people are super obnoxious and rude to everyone.

Am I the only one who enjoyed Portland from start to finish.


I did because of Nia mostly and had she not been cast the season would've been much worse. I think Nia, Jordan, Avery, Johnny, Anastasia were good casting choices, just replace the other two.

Portland was better than San Diego, and ST. Thomas IMO.

Definitely! From the newer seasons it goes:

Vegas 2
Skeltons/Portland
STT
SD2

Didn't watch Explosion...

Portland as a whole was a better cast, but I think Robb, Marie, and LaToya were better as individuals than anyone on Portland.

I found Robb interesting when around Marie, but uninteresting when on his own. This also happens with Swift and Trey, imo STT should be looked at as the Marie/Toya show because they were easily the stars of the show, even if their reunion antics were OTT.

Hell no Averey & Nia are much better than that trashbag Marie

Marie & Robb are the only people I found likeable on St. Thomas. I think Laura would be better individually but other than that I couldn't stand the cast. ST. Thomas was also such a poor choice for a location. The cast was miserable there and it really showed throughout the season.

I don't understand why language such as 'trashbag' needs to be used.  It's one thing to have an opinion if someone is attractive or not, but calling them a trashbag?  Come on now, that's malicious.

The St Thomas cast weren't too interesting on their season but I have liked them all on the challenges. They seem like they would mesh well with that enviorment.

Portland was just OK. I personally thought the whole Nia/Avery/Johnny situation was so dumb and it went to a real ****** up place where it never should've went.

I liked Ex-plosion and while Skeletons isn't as good as that season was so far it's far and away better than St Thomas and Portland. If any season needed twists it was those seasons.

I watched a small bit of St. Thomas the other night & the little I saw was exclusively LaToya/Marie with occasional appearances by Brandon & Swift.

Portland was good & imo is quite underrated. For now it's also the last "real" Real World season & it went out with a bang.

Ex-Plosion was alright. Nothing special but all of them except Ashley C./Lauren would be good for the Challenges.

After giving Skeletons a chance it's pretty decent. I think i'm starting to grow past both shows (RW/Challenge) though.
