Real World 20, the twenieth anniversary season of the series is officially going back to Los Angeles. However, this time around, the series will not be titled Real World: Back to Los Angeles, the series will be titled Real World: Hollywood.
This 20th season of the Real World will be crucial for the series. The network renewed the series during the filming of the Austin series up until the 20th season. MTV has yet to decide whether or not to continue the series after Hollywood, but with recent major changes in the network, the fate of the series is definitely up in the air. In 1998, the series was once close to being off the air, when MTV executives had decided that the 10th season would be the last. After the surprising ratings of the Hawaii season, MTV continually renewed the series. It's sister show, Road Rules, had been in limbo for three years, been labeled as "on hiatus", only to come back this past winter to a poorly received restructuring that featured MTV's new strategy of viewer interactivity of its centerpiece.
The 20th season, even in its early pre-production stages, is showing major changes. The show will be based in Hollywood. This is the second time the show will be in Los Angeles and the fourth time in the state of California. Season 2 filmed in Venice, CA; Season 3 filmed in San Francisco, CA; Season 14 filmed in Point Loma, CA. During the casting process, producers advertised for people with ambition, looking to live in a city that would foster that ambition. Presumably, that was a cry for Real World's early days in which Julie (New York) aspired to be a dancer on Broadway, Jon (Los Angeles) aspired to be a country music artist, and Pam (San Francisco) aspired to be a doctor. Also peculiar for this casting process is the casting of a seventh roommate via internet voting. Greg Halstead, from Daytona Beach, FL will be living in the Hollywood house this Fall.
In addition, MTV has revealed that this house will be "green". The concept is intended "to introduce ways in which today's youth can incorporate environmentally-friendly household items and make eco-friendly lifestyle choices."
The house "will include everything from solar energy solutions to bamboo flooring, recycled glass counters, some sustainable furniture and recycled vintage décor, energy star appliances, a solar heated swimming pool and energy efficient lighting."
The house is located in Los Angeles' 13th District, which is smack in the middle of Downtown Los Angeles. You can check out a profile of the 13th District here. This season will definitely be in the heart of Hollywood. What remains to be seen, however, is whether or not this season will continue the tradition of recent seasons where the cast gets drunk and parties at nightclubs (which Los Angeles has no shortage of), or will actually revitalize the series in some way by returning it into its roots.
Nevertheless, it may be interesting to see the cast on TMZ at Les Duex cavorting with the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan months before the season airs on MTV. More to come as we get it.

O god......
are you frickin kidding?
Hmm.. very interesting!!
i can't wait for this ..HOLLYWOOD !!! i luv hollywood.!
way too predictable. Hollywood Hills or Downtown Highrise?
i really hope this is the last and final season of the real world. the show is getting annoying and old.
OMG. They're filming in my old neighborhood. Just when I finally moved out of Silverlake thats when they finally film a season there...oh well. I can't wait to see my old stomping ground.
unlike 10:49.. I really hope that this isn't the last season of The Real World. I think the show adapts to new generations, if you thinks it's annoying then don't watch it.. and it has been on for along time but it's not like regular shows with the same setting and cast
your probably old and dumb, so go watch tv land
i like the whole environmentally safe house
i do agree that i love the environmentally friendly house...shows mtv actually has some kind of values afterall
the only values that mtv has is one to stick up kellyanus' butt. all of the cast are pursuing entertainment careers, which means that they're gonna be attention-seeking whores
let's all take a minute to laugh at trishelle's academy award deserving film Ninja Cheerleaders.
i hope her and kellyanus become good friends.
I heard that someone from Laguna Beach's first season has been cast on this season of the Real World.
10:10, if that is at all true, I take back what I said earlier about mtv..that would be complete bullshit
I think his name might be Deter? i know his has a band. But they recruited him to have like a crossover and this season is supposed to have lots of changes
I wouldn't mind if Real World ended after it's 20th season, but I would still watch the 20+ seasons if it was renewed. If it ended it would be nice cause I started watching when San Diego came on. Starting with California and ending there, idk. I like Sydney, except for... I hope Kellyanne's "plan" backfires and she gets sent home. Trisha i can stand but my favorite castmemeber is Parisa, if the cast was more like her they would have a great season, people will actually be mature.
if you don't like the show.. then don't watch it

if anyone finds out a cast member post please!
what is this Deter's myspace?? any clues on there?
The 13th district is not necessarily in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. In fact, Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles are two separate areas of the city.
deter already had his minutes of fame...over it. i want to see NEW people.
3:43 can suck my dick. Don't tell me what to do you faggot. Go back to eating up anything MTV tells you. Fucking idiot. I hope you die.
what the hell is your problem?
all i said was that if you don't like the show don't watch it.. since it's so old and annoying, stay of the blog
anyone find deter's myspace yet?
Learn how to spell you piece of shit asshole. I'm going to rip off your balls and shove them in your eye sockets after taking a dump down your throat.
i love how everyone grows balls when there talking in a blog, especially over a tv show
whatever
i think that this might be the season that the real world will turn it around. i love the fact that it's going to be about seven people with ambitions.
i hope it turns around and they sign on for more seasons
LOL...everyone is so sensitive. Middle schoolers say the funniest things.
The Real world should keep doing more seasons
As long as everyone has actual ambitions and are reaching for them, then I'll continue watching it. IF they start losing focus and settle for Herpe's Fest of 08' I'm done.
i still want it to be called Back to LA.. it's tradition?
haha
yeah.. ik, i'm lame
I just hope we don't see anmore Tricia's and Kellyanne's. I agree that the show has sucked lately. I would say San Diego was the last 'decent' season. I hope this cast is more diverse and more REAL. Since the Austin season I have only watched the first episode of each season since. It is way to fake for me now. I do hope they stop after the 20th season. Then they can do a marathon of every season so I can see my fav seasons again... Boston, Seattle, Hawaii, Back to NY, Miami, London, New Orleans... now that would be cool.
if no one gives a shit what i say then why do you think anyone cares what you say.. seriously i told you i'm over stop coming at me with "learn how to spell"
LC and Audrina always go to Les Deux
