[edit] Longest Running Reality Show?
The Real World is the longest running show on MTV as well as the longest running reality show ever on tv.
I thought that was COPS
From Renaldo-The other cast member's name is Jenna not Brooke. And no I didn't get it from that cheap site Tubescan.
[edit] Too much on Irene McGee
I think the criticism section places too much emphasis on Irene McGee. Anyone else agree? --Jeremy Butler 12:30, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
That section could certainly use expansion, given the voluminous criticism directed at both reality tv in general, and The Real World in particular, but until someone adds such material, what are ya gonna do? I suggest that the next time they air The E! True Hollywood Story on the show, and some of that channel's other shows on reality television, that they tape it and relate some of the criticisms therein. Nightscream 14:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Miz
Why does this make no mention of Mike Mizanin also achieving success outside this show. He is the host of WWE's Friday Night Smackdown and took place in the "Tough Enough" tournament.
A lot of sites do that. I think it's because they may not be in the known orMizanin is ashamed that he left the Challeneges, where he got his start, to do something that he had pride for, but now, feels, he has nothing.
- So, he's ashamed that he left a stinkin' MTV reality show to go live his dream and work for a multi-billion dollar company? God, he must feel just miserable and empty. VelvetKevorkian 06:17, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
yea he's ashamed, I talked to him last week.

[edit] Coral Smith
Hi - the Coral Smith article has been subjected to some heated debate and need some work in terms of adding content. Any real world fans willing to lend a hand?

[edit] RAPE INCIDENT

What do they mean by a months worth of footage? I thought they only order 22-25 episodes a year? How many episodes would this have been missing?74.195.3.11 21:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion - Drinking
Why is there no mention at all about drinking, getting drunk, or alcohol in this article? Filming the emotionally-charged behavior of wasted people is obviously a big part of the success and popularity of this show. I suggest adding a new heading of the 'Recurring themes' section to talk about some of the more extreme examples. I'm watching an episode right now where Davis says he wants to leave the house and move back home, because he is so embarrased about his drunken behavior last night. This is an important learning experience for him. Isn't that sort of thing worth mentioning in the article? Has there been an increase in the frequency of getting drunk on the show by season? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gary84 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Recurring themes section
Please source it. It looks like a bunch of OR. Quadzilla99 00:14, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gay Writer?
Can anyone verify this section that I removed?
"*According to a gay writer, Mr. Michael Thomas Ford, in his book "It's Not Mean if It's True", there's a lost season of the Real World San Francisco consisting of only gay cast with 7 plus 1 (later joined as one left midway through the production) strangers living in a restored Victorian house. Cast consists of: Geoff, 32 underwriter; Stephen, 25, bartender; Richard, 23, graphic designer; Timothy, 29, actor; Phillip, 30, lawyer; Mathew, very interesting surprising job; Chad, 20, frat boy; and Ryan, who later joined the show."
This just sounded weird to me, it was poorly written, and the person who submitted it back in January has only one contribution (this paragraph). I smell vandalism, however, I've been wrong before. Restore if legit. Flibbert 02:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
