Behind the Screen: MTV Sets 'Real World' Revival

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.

I still think Austin, Brooklyn, Denver, and Back to New Orleans were overall some of the least attractive casts of Real World but managed to give ICONIC seasons because everyone for the most part had personalities or atleast a decent backgrounds. What about y'all?

Yeah her background was interesting but didn't translate due to her being closed-minded and unwilling to open up to her roommates. Despite her story I still think the casting team only chose her due to the Mormon connection between her and Ammo.

Yes and she was pro guns while Ceejai was the opposite. They knew what they were doing with her and those 2.

Would you think they will fight with hands? Because I really don't think if old people watch they would no enjoy a good fight.

Well everyone still talks about Stephen slapping Irene which I think is the first physical altercation the show had. I don't mind the fighting if there is an actual build-up and not over someething stupid like the BGC fights be. I just think the roommates should decide who stays or goes because production showed during GBGH and Bad Blood they don't know how to view the footage and make good decision,

The more I think about it Jenna wasn't a bad choice but that twist ruined that season. Ammo and CeeJai's opposing viewpoints with Jenna needed more dialogue.

I think on paper in made perfect sense why those 3 were cast together. The conflict between them didnt traslnslate well on camera and like you say Jenna was way to wall up/stubborn.

The twist was trash and fhat loft was even worse.

Oh when we made the thread for Dione’s friend because we looked at the wrong person in the picture.

I didn't find ammo's story interesting at the time, but that could be because of him, I didn't like him at the time so I didn't pay much attention. Thinking back it's actually interesting. 

Debut Album#464

I thought Ammo's story was interesting. It was a good look of someone leaving behind a religion so they can fully become who they want to be. 

Challenge 17#465
Who from the recent seasons had the must real stories for you guys?I feel like Ceejai story by far was the must Interesting and real one. I actually think go big had interesting backgrounds stories must of them like her, ammo, Jenna and even to an extend Dean/Sabrina. But must of them lack personalities didnt translate well on camera and the group never mesh well together.Skeletons cast I feel like all except for Zannatta had interesting stories that weren't focus as much due to the twist this season.

Sadly lana's was the most real, especially since she got ignored like a lot of people who have depression do.

That part annoyed me because they dragged him before finding out if he even had a good story or background.

100% agree. I remember in Denver Brooke and Davis had a whole conversation about how there was no one attractive in the house lmaooo but the chemistry between that cast was so great. Brooklyn I don't think meshed well, but GBOGH was bottom of the barrel in terms of cast chemistry and we don't even mention Bad Blood. Rewatching NOLA 2010 and they did score gold with most of that cast (I probably wouldn't have cast Eric and I so wish Ashlee would've been more entertaining but I probably would've recast her as well).

Witty your comments about the Real World are always so spot on. They should just make you a producer of this damn show smh you'd do 100x better than anyone in the past 6 or 7 years
