The Real World Show Summary

The Real World is a reality show that has aired on MTV since 1992. Like the intro says, seven or eight different strangers are picked among hundreds of thousands of people who auditioned, and are put together to live in a house for several weeks, and are video-taped throughout the entire process. The cameras follow, as friendships, relationships, and sometimes even enemies are made, along with lifelong memories and the unforgettable journey they each go through.
