the real world is here to stay.
It is now official: MTV’s The Real World has become the longest running television show of all time. Currently in it’s 25th season, the 26th season is being cast as you read this post. And MTV has picked up the reality show for another two seasons. Having crossed not only the country but the globe as well, the show has over 436 episodes and has featured 187 castmates to date. The current season, marks the second time the show has hit up Las Vegas which is only the third city to have featured The Real World twice after New York and New Orleans, although if you were to include Brooklyn in the New York spectrum, New York would have three seasons. Featuring roommates from across the country, the most notable of the current season is Dustin Zito of Louisiana (third from the left) who has had some amount of fame before his addition to the current Real World cast as he was once a featured model on a live-webcam website called FratPad where college-aged guys would live in the house together and have their lives filmed in precarious situations and games usually done completely nude. One of the more dramatic scenes of this season is where Dustin must explain his questionable past to his romantic interest in the house, fellow roommate Heather Marter.
