Real World in NYC (under 21, manufactured, demographics)

[By~Tor]

I think RW has really lost its way... I've watched every season, and I agree that the first was the best, as far as showing people NYC...

Nowadays, they just focus on how drunk & horny everyone is, and the drama that inevitably occurs as a result.

The Real World isnt even vaguely real anymore

Its good they keep coming back here, cause NYC is so hot and it is our country's biggest city.

But they need to go more international. Canada and Mexico are right next door to us. They need a Real World: Montreal or Mexico City.
Last season was a bore. But I'm only watching this, cause its gonna be in Brooklyn and I've lived here all my life.
I'd like to see some familiar places.

I want a Real World: Montreal. Montreal is one of my favorite cities in the world and would serve as a great backdrop to the RW series. I'd love to see them navigate a city that's basically all French. We have a summer house there and it's amazing.

They better put some Hispanics on the next episode.Man this 2008!..there are so many of us 20 to 30 somethings, and we have major character and flavor in us.MTV needs to stop sleepin on us and recognize.

They spent a season in Paris, and didn't branch far outside their American ideas of fun.

They better put some Hispanics on the next season. Man this is 2008!

I cannot for the life of me remember the last time a Hispanic person was on the show---season 5 in Miami? I don't remember!

I believe they're still filming in Brooklyn (I have no clue when they'll be wrapping that up). And still to my knowledge no one of color. I don't even remember seeing Black people in the photos floating around!

There was an Hispanic guy on Key West (Jose?). Jen from Denver I believe was at least partially Hispanic, and I'm almost 100% Sarah from Hollywood was half Mexican.

Still I agree they could switch it up with the casting a bit more. For example I don't believe they've ever had an Asian male in the cast.

Yeah bro. i would to like see like Boriqua cat from NY on there. Or a Latino from the Bay Area on there.you know,bring a little bit of flavor and game to the house. It might be a lil much for MTV though. Since it is the Real World.LOL!

I think it'll be the REALEST Real World they've ever heard of LOL If they go to Brooklyn with that whole "Look at me, I'm on TV" attitude they'll get a rude awakening. They won't leave the same.
