Seven strangers, picked to live in a house

I’ve grown up well into the MTV generation and I can’t remember a time when The Real World wasn’t on television. One of the first examples of reality television, The Real World puts seven strangers, picked to live in a house, work together, have their lives taped. I think it’s pretty interesting to see how over the past 15 years The Real World has changed, paying particular interest to the hook-up culture portrayed. Although the older seasons portrayed the casual hook ups that took place in the house, it seems that the newer seasons put their primary focus on it. I remember things in the Miami house (1996) that involved a supposed threesome in a shower and the Las Vegas house where hooking up was rampant.

Having not watched this season too carefully, but having seen enough to get to know the characters and (semi)understand the reasons behind their actions, I think The Real World: Denver is a really interesting look on today’s hook-up culture.
