Last night concluded the worst season in Real World history. Let me preface this as saying I have always been a big fan of The Real World, but last night may have ruined everything. Watching the last couple of seasons has been like watching Michael Jordan on the Wizards…You watch it knowing you are going to have to sit through some 1-12 games, but it’s worth it for that 1 bucket which puts a smile on your face every time. This season was an 0-40 game. Not 1 redeeming moment. For shame MTV, for shame!
The theme, “Go Big or Go Home” was doomed from the beginning. You don’t watch The Real World to see the roommates overcome fears or conquer obstacles, you watch for alcohol-fueled drama. And more importantly, there is a difference between FUN drama and ANNOYING drama and this season’s drama between the house and Jenna was the epitome of annoying drama.
The key to FUN drama is having it revolve around relationship/hook-ups. Therefore, if you need a theme for next season go with Real World: Model Temptation.
How to #MakeRealWorldGreatAgain:
- Cast 8 beautiful strangers
- Find a house that is directly above a nightclub/bar and/or pool (for pool parties..duh)
- Have a hot tub in the house (should be a requirement by reality TV law)
- Make the house open bar at all times
- Each week bring in a new set of models to live in the house
- Wait for FUN drama.
BOOM, I just fixed The Real World’s stock price. You can thank me later, shareholders.
