Behind the Screen: Real World: San Diego (2011) - First Impressions

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Oh wait now I get what I see in Frank. Frank's like Tyler when he started out on Key West...

I think Brooklyn and DC were the only seasons where no one cared whether someone was gay or straight. Oh well, everyone's not the same...

Not a very good episode so far imo
Nightwolf#36
Frank is trying to **** block a guy who's not even gonna get anything anyway.

Not flipping out. I blame him however, for being creepy earlier.

It seems like this cast is full of look-a-likes from past seasons lol. Frank looks kind of like Ryan Kehoe, Nate looks like Knight from NOLA. The Alex/Frank thing seems just like Nany/Adam from last season, Alex with a boyfriend and Frank trying really hard to get her.

Not a fan of this guy so far. Alexandra just looked at the camera like "Are you gonna do something if this gets out of hand?"

He does have this creepy stalker, serial killer, psychology professor quality about him.

Not feeling it this time around but I'm gonna watch just to give RW good ratings. But they should get people with touching back stories like the last couple of times. This just seemed like they threw people together for the next challenge.

Drunk and in the friend zone! Bad place Frank. Bad place.

See they recast the pottery barn phone for its second season so maybe the Vegas luck comes with it.
InfamousJoks#46
Overall...I loved it.

Not feeling this cast....at all....which is a shame because RW was going in such a promising direction with B2Vegas. Hopefully SD can prove me wrong, but so far this does not seem promising. I can handle Zach and Ashley the most - because they hardly said anything. I can also tolerate Alex. Frank...no, just no. I will watch every episode like I always do - just because it's habit - but I didn't think much of that episode.

I was fine with the first episode. It was narrow in focus, but we still got a good view of the cast as a whole and now we are off to "vinetteland" until an arc forms.

This cast seem to have more substance than the last two seasons imo. Great first episode! Excited for this season.

This just seems like the most awkward first day/episode I've seen in the series.
Nightwolf#51
Frank just tweeted "Who gives an idiot a gun?" I wonder which of the two he is referring to

First impressions? I love the intro! Frank is legitimately scary. Extremely impressed with Alexandra. That's... about it. I fear this season won't do so well.
GraysGreat#53
It's interesting that the last few seasons have had more male drama than female. It used to seem more female oriented.

Yeah that is weird. I remember the days with crazy girls like Brooke, Svetlana, Jenn, Coral, Beth, Paula and Tonya. Now it's crazy guys like AdamR., Ty, Ryan, Dustin and now Frank.

It's cool to see that a lot of RW/RR alum tuned in to watch the episode.

I think he was talking about Zach, since Frank also wrote "DOESN'T EVERYONE KNOW CHEERLEADERS AND FOOTBALL PLAYERS GO TOGETHER?!?! CONGRATS MIDDLE AGE AMERICA" so I guess we can expect drama between those two.

So far, Alex is my favorite. She handled the Frank situation really maturely, in my opinion. Frank, on the other hand, is nuts. Also, is it just me or is Nate perpetually red?

I was very impressed with the way she dealt with that situation. Very adult. She, at least from this initial glimpse, seems wise beyond her years.

2 gay dudes, a weird red face dude, a football player, a cute blonde, a little annoying brat and a girl that has a boyfriend...no wonder why this season is going to suck. I'm just waiting for this season to be over with to have Zach come to the Challenges. The dude looks like he could give CT a beating.
lulax3#60
They are not going to have dailies this season? Not even the after shows without a host online?
jesses_girl#61
So I guess Frank and Alex are together now, sorry Byron lol User image
