Reality Blurred has posted that BMP is currently scouting locations for their 17th season of the Real World. Reality Blurred specifically mentions Key West as a distinct possibility. However, fans of the series may remember during the Chicago season, similar rumors of a property being bought by BMP in Key West were rampant. Suffice to say, the 12th season of the Real World ended up being in Las Vegas.
Expect other cities to be in the running, with the case most likely being that other cities that have been considered in the past are also being considered. Along with Key West past possible choices have been:
Sydney has been in the running since Back to New York aired. However, don't expect to see another international season aired soon, as London and Paris didn't seem to be the greatest ratings hits.
Washington DC seems to be a potentially great city. When San Diego came around, an IKEA showroom in the Adams Morgan section of DC was heavily rumored as a location for the house. With its nightlife and numerous job possibilities, DC seems like an attractive location.
Atlanta was called as the location for the 13th season for a few months, before Paris was ultimately selected. Mary-Ellis Bunim personally casted and selected the location for Paris, it being the last season she worked on.
Denver/Boulder/Aspen. A Colorado location of the Real World has always been heavily discussed, but nothing ever seems to materialize. BMP has even done casting there and is rumored to have fiddled with the idea.
St. Louis. Other than being listed as a potential front runner, I haven't heard much about St. Louis being selected as a city.
There are plenty more. BMP even entertained the notion of putting the seven strangers on a farm in the middle of nowhere back when Back to New York aired. An announcement should be made close to the end of summer.
