Behind the Screen: The Real World: Portland - Reunion

The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.

What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.

Twitter isn't even close to a comparison to a reunion. It's basically a highly dumbed down version at best...

"We" know that Nia wants desperatly to be in the spotlight BECAUSE OF TWITTER. "We" know that Ana and Joi have some unfinished business BECAUSE OF TWITTER. This should be a funny reunion if Coral is going to be the host again since "WE" know Nia thinks Coral had her 15 minutes of fame.

June 12 makes sense if the challenge is airing the June 26th and not a single promo has surfaced yet. An extra week for The S#@& They Should've Shown and there wouldn't be enough time - last season didn't even have one. I do think the Reunion needs its own week but whatever.

Oh, I just googled now. I thought I saw a promo pic on here by a admin showing June 26th.

That is the only way I can describe burning off the final episode and the Reunion on the same night. Apparently MTV thought as little about the season as did many of us. (The Reunion is at 11 PM on the 12th. The Reunion listed above at 10 pm is a minor typo.)

You did. That was the date in the earlier MTV promo release. Things change. Bacchus posted about this earlier today.

They did the same thing with St. Thomas IIRC.

Yes, and in my opinion it was a even more worthless season. More time I can never get back...

They don't want to air an episode on July 3rd is my guess, so they have it starting on the 10th. My guess is they will air reruns of some MTV show for 3 weeks. I would air reruns for the last 3 episodes of Rivals to prepare for the new season, but MTV will probably air something like Snooki and JWoww instead.

Poor MTV. "You disappointed me".

I wonder how Nia will act on the reunion because she has been bragging on twitter about hitting Avery from behind, but on the after shows to me she didn't seem so tough.
YvanEhtNioj#50
They can't reveal their true feelings on the aftershow. They have to pretend like they have resolved everything
wutzrenzi#51
Nia posted a vine video of her recording her roommates (Joi, Marlon, Ana, Jordan and Jessica). And hey Jordan's even smiling for the camera, wonder if the two will be as cordial as they are on the online aftershows.
Camille#52
Marlon posted a little clip of everyone there and they all seemed to be having fun and no one seemed upset. I'm guessing it won't be as angry as the St. Thomas reunion.

Frank and Zach sure revealed their true feelings on their after shows. And Nia was saying something like her and Avery can be cordial with each other even though they don't like each other.
YvanEhtNioj#53
Well from what I understand, that's what the contract says. I personally think aftershows make the reunion pointless.. it'll be hard to top the St Thomas reunion. Even though the season was so bad, the reunion was one of the best
BellaLissa#55
What I like about the the aftershows is how the cast members are forced to recon what was on camera to what actually happened. If we get a good host, like @thatcoral was on the aftershows, then by proxy, we viewers get to say "WAIT, but we saw this so ...how can you say it's that way?? Please 'splain me!" The person is on the hot seat and sees what we saw, so if there is a backstory they cough it up. Also if a castmember is talking "sheesh" all over the social media hopefully the host/ess tosses some of that in there too and calls it out so we can see if the "sheesh talker" is going to back it up or shut it up! Very satisfying if the host does her/his job representing what us viewers are obviously yelling at the TV screen (oops a little TMI).
BellaLissa#56
I did not know that ...so whatever is unresolved, remains unspoken until they take it to the Challenge. Okay got it!

Why would you be shocked? Hopefully people have other things to do in their lives than sit on the internet awaiting Nia latest vine BS. I know I do.

Her job. Just to clear it up :)

So did anyone attend the Reunion last Friday? Usually there's at least one person on this forum who attends a Reunion.
