This special aired awhile ago on MTV to give the viewers a look at what goes on behind the scenes on the popular television show The Real World. Some of the information was surprising, but most of it at least in my opinion wasn’t so surprising.
I wonder how much the average viewer was really surprised about. I wish they focused on the casting and what makes the cast members they choose so interesting. I don’t mean characters like Paula from Key West and Brad from San Diego.
Honestly, why do they cast people like Baya from Brooklyn and Melanie from Philadelphia if we never see them? If anyone is actually reading this you are probably trying to rack your brain and figure out who the latter person is, and if Brooklyn wasn’t airing right know you would try to figure out who Baya was. Was she the dancer in the season with the army guy and transgender?
The special reminded me of some of the older seasons of the Real World when it was actually somewhat significant and was not a place to watch drunken debauchery.
Speaking of that, why are they making a movie about Pedro Zamora? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just air footage of him on his season and have that play out as a movie instead? For those who don’t know, Pedro Zamora was a cast member on The Real World San Francisco who had AIDS. The finale of his season he was married to his boyfriend Sean who he met in San Francisco. He died the day after his season’s finale aired.
Before I end this blog post, how odd was it watching the production interview seeing how choked up they were when Danny from Austin’s mom died? I thought the whole segment was very strange; I did not like Danny on his original season, but you can’t help but feel bad for the guy. I also couldn’t imagine knowing that his mom died before he did and then having to watch him find out and not being able to say a word to him.
