I've been watching this show for years and enjoy it. I also enjoy the spinoff 'The Challenge'.
Did anyone watch this season with the ex gfs & ex bfs?
It was probably the most entertaining cast in a long time.

Real World is the only reality tv show I watch. It's a guilty pleasure that I've had since I was in school.
I still find it entertaining, but I can't stand The Bachelor, Survivor or any of those pregnant teen shows on MTV.

Oh man, probably close to 25 years at this point. I think I started watching a few seasons in when I was really young.

The first Real World was in 1991 I believe. Crazy that it's still running.
I prefer the Challenge at this point actually, looking forward to the new season today.

I've always enjoyed it. To me, it walks a fine line between true social experiment and drama fest. That was always the thing that kept me drawn in. While there is always a fair amount of staged drama and ridiculousness, a lot of the people that go on that show seemingly do so in the genuine hopes of finding themselves, improving themselves, and creating some great friendships.
I can't say the same for this past season. To me, the exes twist more or less ruined it and created a hostile environment for no other purpose than to invoke verbal abuse and physical altercations. It just lost a lot of its charm.
Rumor has it that it may have been the final season. I know that ratings had been a steep decline for years. MTV's audience would rather watch teen girls getting pregnant, apparently.

I stop watching real wod probably after the Hawaii season. My wife keeps watching them but I just can't get into it. I do sometimes watch the real world challenges. Those are entertaining in their own ways. The new season looks interesting so I might watch it.

I'm not a fan of reality TV but I've always had a soft spot for this show. The last few seasons have been crap but I thoughts the EXs was a great bounce back, filled with a lot if drama. But I love the Challenges. More so because I think he'd be amazing to participate in mini games like they have.

Who was that whiney-ass crybaby who kept screaming about some girl named Johanna? Was that The Real World?

Watched like one season ( whichever had Svetlana) and watch a crap ton of the challenges one of which featured the Miz. I loved him then. So crazy to see where he has got and that he really is wearing those spandex to work every night now.
Edit. Just remembered the whole season I watched was real world: Austin

I actually just picked up Las Vegas on DVD a few weeks ago. It was $12 at FYE and that was really the only season that I enjoyed so I had to pick it up. Looking forward to watching it again. I don't remember a whole lot from it but I remember I didn't really enjoy any other season after that one.

Imagine a relationship leaning towards a marrage, then a Real World/Road Riles challange engaged Johanna cheating.. Man, its a horrible thing. Lead to a few heated rivalries. San Diego was the last one I watched. |

I used to LOVE (LOVE LOVE LOVE) The Challenge, back when it was the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Original Battle of the Seasons was fun, loved both Battle of the Sexes, and I enjoyed the first Gauntlet (which saw Rookies vs. Veterans). The first two Duels were pretty entertaining as well.
But I've fallen out of love with it. The Freshmeat crew just suck ass and we're getting the same cast over and over and over. I wish we could see older people from Real World/Road Rules but it's just not gonna happen, partly because most of those people have lives to live now.

Damn, I haven't watched The Real World religiously since the Chicago season that aired in 2002.

The last season of the Real World which was Ex-Plosion was the best one I have seen in a while. I also love the new Free Agents Challenge with all the Elimination rounds being a draw. Pretty Intense.
