Today is a historic moment for MTV.
It's longest running show, The Real World turns 15.
Only May 21, 1992, Andre, Becky, Eric, Heather, Julie, Kevin and Norman were introduced to the world, as seven, young wide-eyed aspiring musicians, artists, actors, and poets, who came to New York City to live a dream.
Fifteen years later, The Real World has visited eighteen different cities around the world, has had 130 different castmembers appear on the show, spanned two successful spin-offs, a made-for-TV movie, and now an upcoming miniseries, it shows no signs of slowing down.
Although the premise, look, and feel of the show may have changed, it still stays true to the formula of having seven 18 to 24 year-olds living in a loft, to record their every move, and to see how seven young people interact with each other in today's world.
With its 20th season on the horizon, The Real World has become MTV's longest running program. Congratulations to the creators, producers, crew, and castmembers of The Real World. It's been a great fifteen years.

Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas casting special showed first five minutes of first episode
If you caught the casting special that aired on Saturday of Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas you're caught up to the story of our Vegas seven strangers.
We were updated on the cast's lives, we relived some of Vegas's craziest moments, and we got an exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming season premiere which airs on Tuesday, May 30 at 10PM.
The episode showed the cast arriving at the Palms and meeting each other at the Suite. Frank (Las Vegas) and Steven (Las Vegas) met downstairs in the casino. Brynn (Las Vegas) and Irulan (Las Vegas) also met downstairs in the casino. The two girls met the two boys. Alton (Las Vegas) comes next and he's ecstatic to see the cast, even Irulan, his ex. Trishelle (Las Vegas) then walks through the door and the cast is astounded by how good/different she looks. Then, finally, we see Arissa (Las Vegas) moving up to the suite.
There's been a lot of tension surrounding Arissa ever since the cameras stopped filming five years ago. Alton and Irulan both publically stated that they were unhappy with Arissa after leaving the house. But this was years ago. Apparently, Arissa alienated herself from the rest of her cast, hasn't talked to anyone, and knows that she's "gonna have to have it out with Irulan." We have to wait until next week to see what happens.
On the season preview: Trishelle throws a bachelorette party for married mother of two Brynn, Irulan chases Steven through one of the newer Fantasy Suites, the cast plays casino games for a chance to win some real money, Irulan cries on the phone that she wants to go home, Frank throws a bottle at Steven's head, Irulan and Arissa have a major argument in a bar, Alton and Arissa having an argument about Arissa being put in the middle of Alton and Irulan's relationship.
There will be a Las Vegas marathon beginning next Saturday, May 26 at 7pm.

Real World: Sydney cast is finally spotted and pictures are taken
Never before has a Real World cast been shrouded in secrecy. The Real World: Sydney cast, who are living on Darling Harbor and working with Contiki Tours and Travel in Bondi Junction, has not been heard, seen, or even talked about since they started filming in early Spring.
However, Reality Blurred is posting exclusive pictures of two female castmates who were spotted on a tour that the roommates were giving. The post even names a couple of the roommates: Kelly Ann, Tricia, Dunbar, Issac, and Talhada. There are four females and three males.
There might be some castmates from overseas in this season, as has been the tradition in every international season of the Real World. (Jacinda (London) is from Australia, Niel (London) is from London, Sharon (London) is from London, Lars (London) is from Germany, and Simon (Paris) is from Dublin)
This season airs Summer 2007.

Denver Season Finale: Post your reactions here
More than a year afterMTV announced it was coming to Denver, six months after it began airing on TV, The Real World: Denver will culminate in an hour-long season finale which bids adieu to the seven roommates.
Interestingly enough, the episode was alluding to a hook-up between Jenn (Denver) and Stephen (Denver) which they were setting up last week. We'll see how that eventually plays out and we'll see the seven roommates sob and cry to say their goodbyes, until we see them at the next Challenge.
The season finale will be proceeded by a reunion show to air next week. After that, Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas will take its timeslot on Wednesday nights. The Real World: Sydney is wrapping production and should air this summer.
Post your reactions, say your good-byes. This is the last episode of the season.

Inferno 3 Episode #9: Tonya tries to make amends, Aneesa has an injury, Ace and Kenny sent to the Inferno
The episode begins with a little Tonya (Chicago) drama. Tonya and Davis (Denver) make out at a club. Tonya is married. Davis is gay. The two go home, but nothing happens. Later on, the Good Guys girls and Davis are playing the "I Hate Tonya" game, but this time, Tonya is listening outside the door. She momentarily breaks down, calls her husband, and vents her frustrations of not being able to get along with everyone at the Challenges.
On the way to the Challenge, we see Aneesa (Chicago) has a nasty knee injury that could potentially prevent her from competing. She lets the cast know that she's going to the doctor to check out her knee and she might be able to compete.
The mission is jumping from trampolines to platforms, but all team members must stand on the platforms in between the trampolines at one time to get to the end. Aneesa cannot compete in this mission. Kenny (Fresh Meat) says that Aneesa may as well go home.
The mission is pretty difficult at first, but both teams get the hang of it by the end. The Bad Asses pull off a win.
At deliberations, both teams select what they believe to be easy targets: Ace (Paris) and Kenny. Both are pretty gracious about it. Meanwhile, the Bad Asses begin to gang up on Aneesa, questioning her value to the team. Aneesa vigorously defends herself and threatens to pull a Gauntlet II where she exploded at Cara (South Pacific).

Inferno 3 Episode #8: Susie vs. Tonya (again), Colie is backed into a corner, Jenn beats Colie
Last night on the Inferno saw an incredibly tense moment between the Good Guys team when Colie (Denver) was basically thrown into the Inferno when the rest of her team had lost faith in her. Susie (Australia), Cara (South Pacific) and Colie had been in an alliance. Susie pledged not to vote Colie in if she won the LifeShield. John (Key West) lobbies hard to keep Paula (Key West), who is his friend and a stronger competitor. Meanwhile, on the Bad Ass team, Tonya (Chicago) wants to win the LifeShield so she can take out Susie.
The group gets their mission. They have to walk on these poles that are supported by the rest of their team from one platform to another. Evelyn (Fresh Meat) and Colie (Denver) both fall and it causes tension and a DQ for each team. It turns out that Susie and Tonya win the LifeShield. Susie has to save herself. Tonya leaves it up in the air that she may go in.
Meanwhile, the Good Guys pressure Susie to send in Colie. It culminates in the guys making Colie cry in the van, so Colie knows that it's coming. Tonya had told Jenn that she'd make her decision once they were at the Inferno. Susie decides to send Colie. Tonya doesn't save Jenn. They have to maneuver around a huge rotating wheel. Colie loses pretty easily. Susie says that they chose the right person to go to the Inferno. Colie graciously steps out of South Africa and the game.

Inferno 3 Episode #8: Post your reactions here
On this week's Inferno 3, both Susie (Australia) and Jenn (Denver) are once again sent to the Inferno. If you don't want to find out what happens, stop reading.
The Good Guys look like they want to send Paula (Key West) into the Inferno, because Colie (Denver) is in an informal alliance with Susie (Australia) and Cara (South Pacific). Talk is about Susie winning the LifeShield and sending in either Paula or Cara. Here's a minor note, Susie gets sent to the Inferno pretty much everytime and almost wins the LifeShield pretty much everytime. Tonya (Chicago), meanwhile, wants to annihilate Susie.
The girls seem to be fully dramatic. Talk about tonight's episode in this post.
