Real World Denver

There have been other seasons where the cast and cast members threatened to be fired. I liked it better when they didn't have the same job and being a cast member was just like having a room mate who you saw when you got home for work (like they did it in Season 1). That's the REAL WORLD.

Totally agree!

I also think that they go out of their way to find alcoholics or "alcoholics in training." I enjoyed RW more when it had a better mix of people.

I especially liked the New Orleans cast -- particularly watching the transformation of Julie-- the girl who was brought up in a strict Church of Latter Day Saints upbringing.

Watching sloppy drunks make fools of themselves doesn't interest me.

HAHA...it totally interests me, but I agree that some of the other casts had some more depth to them.

Yeah the first few seasons dealt with REAL issues because people didn't completely quit their lives to join the cast. Not saying these newer casts don't have family issues and so forth. It just used to be about so much more than who's a racist, who's gay, who's a kissing whore, who's an alcoholic, etc.

But that's also when RW and MTV had an older demographic of viewers. MTV's shows have changed to reach a different viewership. I miss being able to catch the first few seasons of RW on syndication. They used to come on Fox in the afternoon a few years ago.

It will never be the Real World it was in the first few years. Nothing is more real than Puck or Pedro and everything those shows. I almost wish another station like Lifetime would have a Real Life or something and bring back the days of Heather B, Julie, Pedro, and all the others members that I miss and actually LEARNED from.

They were less manufactured. They were great.

Puck was one of the original assholes and he was gross. He's married with kids and stuff now.

This year's cast is a little lack luster. But I'm convinced that Stephen (I hope that's the black guy that's not Tyrie) is gay. Why does Brooke have boy shorts on to go hiking on the next episode? "I thought they looked like shorts" That's classic


Tyrie.....sigh......mmm mmm mmm

Yes, Stephen is latently gay. I think that's why he's so against homosexuality.
