The Real World You Never Saw - Las Vegas
by Kenny Hull
from MTV
Much titillation is promised in this hour-long program, a sort of retrospective get-together with the seven participants from the Las Vegas version of MTV's The Real World. But promising isn't quite the same as delivering, so those looking for loads of nudity and steamy sex--i.e., "the extras that were too hot for MTV to air"--are probably in for a disappointment. There's much discussion of such fascinating topics as breaking wind, snoring, burping, and, of course, sex, as Arissa, Alton, Brynn, and the others sit around rehashing their experiences, but due to the magic of video masking, precious little is actually seen. In the end, this is a package that will no doubt appeal to fans of this guilty-pleasure show, but it's hard to imagine how anyone else could get too hot and bothered, or even interested. --Sam Graham
" The Real World You Never Saw: Las Vegas- Confessions from Sin City" takes viewers beyond the television program and deeper into the lives and adventures of Alton (rock climbing violinist), Arissa (tough girl with a heart of gold), Brynn (self-described party animal), Frank (small town boy), Irulan (artistic Aries), Steven (hunky hetero and bartender at a gay bar) and Trishelle (closet Southern wild woman). Normal people ten to do crazy things on vacation in Las Vegas, and MTV's handpicked seven include exhitionists who hold nothing back. The very first episode feature a hook-up and the second episode followed with another tryst, but this time with two girls. With that in mind, one can only imagine the extras that were too hot for MTV to air. This is the true story of seven prima donnas, picked to live in a casino and do what they do best: gamble their trust funds away and get falling down drunk trying to live it up in Las Vegas.
The Real World You Never Saw - Paris
by Kenny Hull
from MTV
THE REAL WORLD YOU NEVER SAW: PARIS takes viewers along on the cast members' juicy escapades and romantic roller coasters. Leah (New Yorker, fashionista and center of attention), Mallory (athletic virgin waiting for true love) and Simon (gay Irish model trying to stay faithful to his boyfriend) share a room, CT (confident bartender) and Adam (Beverly Hills musician) bunk together, while Christina (jet-setting cocktail waitress with a criminal justice degree) shares a room and potentially more with Ace (Southern frat boy who runs three businesses). The City of Light, is also the city of romance as viewers are drawn into the seven roommates' dramatic crushes, flirtations, and secret trysts. With cultural and language shock, deadlines for travel guide writing assignments and the usual cat fights thrown in, THE REAL WORLD YOU NEVER SAW: PARIS is a thrilling treat in voyeurism.
The Real World - Hook-Ups
from MTV
Young people are always searching for Mr. or Ms. Right, but the search fails more often than it succeeds. Most people can quietly banish memories of their failures, but cast members on "The Real World" have their romances recorded and aired for the entire world to see. This one-hour exclusive DVD will show clips of the past 12 seasons of "The Real World;" and former cast members, now older and hopefully a little wiser, will comment on what went wrong (or right), what they learned from their experiences and offer up advice on HOOKING UP!
The Real World You Never Saw - New Orleans
by Nick Havinga
from Sony
This collection of behind-the-scenes capers provides Real World fans even more of their favorite vicarious thrills, watching the residents of the Big Easy's Belfort House flirt, fight, and have fun. Mostly fun. Lots of it. In after-show interviews that seem designed to encourage dirt dishing, Julie, Matt, Kelley, Danny, David, Melissa, and Jamie spend most of their time laughing at themselves--and luckily, the laughter is infectious. Hidden-camera footage and crew bloopers show the cast members at their most hilarious, proving they're not only smart enough to see through the show's manipulation of reality, but smart enough to have fun with it. Just like real life, much of the accidental humor centers around bodily functions and frustrated sex drives, and some viewers might be turned off by the spy-cam montage of nose picking, or the mindlessly drunk Mardi Gras antics of the Belfort crew. But this show is really saved by characters who are just that--characters. Melissa's hysterical impressions of her own parents (who show up in person later) might be worth the price of the video alone. --Grant Balfour
