If you watch the show, I promise you you'd be extremely impressed by how much of the show's jargon I packed into that intro.
Yeah definitely felt like last night's episode they were scrambling to manufacture some stories.
This is hilarious. Literally the only show that I watch weekly on tv.
Despise Josh. Wish he would go away and never be on again.
People don't just watch it, they watch the Hell out of it.
Yeah I've been watching one of the old seasons on Netflix. It's actually kind of cool to see how simple and creative the competitions used to be. Now they're all pretty crazy and involved and essentially major stunts and athletic competitions. One of the old episodes they had to run on stilts, get oranges, and squeeze them into a cup. It was actually a great game.
I watched that one a few days ago. Got The Miz running on stilts trying to make orange juice. Loved the ridiculous prizes they handed out for each competition too. People were going nuts over a little mp3 player.
Yes. It is my one trash show that I have watched for like 15 years. It used to be a lot better like most things but still great garbage tv.
Had some Mirra, think there were a few with Johnny Mosely. The introductions on those ones are hilarious. They took more production than the episodes.
I think you can make an argument that CT's life arc has been one of the most fascinating things ever captured on television. And that's not an exaggeration. His change over time has been uniquely documented.
I have no idea why my phone autocorrected Mirra to Mitra.
Looks like it started in 1998 so I was 15 at the time and was Real World people vs Road Rules people doing stupid challenges. So that was right in my wheelhouse then heading into college. I imagine the average viewing age is 30 to 40. There would be no reason whatsoever for anyone 25 and under to watch it, they would have no clue who any of these people are or what has been going on for 30 seasons.
I feel like I was the only person amongst my college friends that wasn't obsessed with Real World. I just couldn't for the life of me find it interesting.
Only things that I remember watching in college other than sports was Real World and Chappelle's Show.
Real World was aight but Road Rules was actually way more interesting, and Road Rules was the ancestor to The Challenge, which is the best of them all.
I either want something that's 100% real like a sporting event, or something that's 100% fiction like a TV show, but the halfway reality-type shows where you don't really know what's scripted or not has never been my cup of tea. All my buddies have a pool each year for the show Survivor and hate me for not wanting to be in it.
I have 0 interest in something like Survivor. The Challenge was appealing to me as a teen into early 20s because it was people my age just getting hammered and trying to hook up and then do some weird athletic competitions. Was quality trashy entertainment. Since that point they have added actual production quality and removed the majority of the trashy aspects which is alright since I'm no longer a moron. Just so pot committed after 20 years and don't watch anything else that is on at a specific time besides sports so still try to make time to catch it live.
