Beth may have been irritating to those that were around her 24/7 but she did try to protect Tammi from an embarrassing moment on national television, so I did give her props there

[@BipolarBowler]

I like her. Maybe in spite of how others treated her. I’d like to have some goofy pillow talk with her.

[@skelter1153]

​@@BipolarBowler WTF is "goofy pillow talk"?!

[@vibes7144]

I swear, I want to cry. MTV was so good back then, and shows like this really fulfilled something in me as a young teen who was a lonely latchkey kid. I learned so much about life, how to interact with people, etc. I watched many these episodes multiple times. I also really liked how they would use current songs from those days along with scenes.

I was just 13 watching this back in the day, everyone felt like adults to me & the prospect of becoming an adult always felt really exciting to me because of this show. Watching it now in my 40s they all seem like kids to me

[@pr0cessa]

pure nostalgia 🙂the first 3 seasons of the real world were great, and i always loved the LA season the most (san francisco season 3 was a close second,) back then in the early days of "reality" tv it seemed like such a novel new idea to put these strangers together in a house. the LA season i think had the most random/diverse personalities... i was 16, mtv was where you found out about the coolest new music and artists, and i would stay up late to watch the real world and alternative nation, and headbangers ball and of course the pre-TRL weekly top videos countdown. i'm so glad i came of age in the early 90s! i love watching the homecoming shows. i hope they do a san francisco homecoming/reunion!

[@brianregan75]

I think the Real World show (along with other 90s “young adult “ shows like friends and Mel rose place) really got the ball rolling for the new urban renewal /“gentrification” movement back then. Shows like this made it cool for people wanting to live an urban lifestyle with multiple roommates in a nice city loft apartment. Soon all the cool shops and restaurants would follow in certain hotspot urban neighborhoods around the country. Interesting to see how the big cities were starting to change during and after the 90s and still to the present day due to the increased demand for an Uber cool urban lifestyle. The alt community such as artists , gays and other creatives (which the real world mostly consisted of) were the initial trailblazers in transforming an urban community then followed by richer yuppy types that move in and make the real estate skyrocket whereas the original artists and working folk can’t live there anymore. I was rolling through my old neighborhood in Chicago and it was amazing how much it changed. Expensive new homes and apartments , high end baby strollers lol, joggers etc. It’s nice though to see new energy and life pumped into these neighborhoods. There’s pros and cons to the whole gentrification thing but overall it’s good to have lively cities again. Although they’ve been trying to stigmatize big cities in the media again even more now… but we keep it moving😎🌆

[@Trancer006]

Unfortunately i haven't come across a single person that wants to live with multiple roommates in a city. Everybody loves their alone space these days... But maybe because I'm from the south

I cannot wait until November 24th to see this cast reunite on Paramount Plus. Los Angeles was an epic cast and one of the best seasons ever. This cast fought like cats and dogs. In the beginning it was non stop fighting until David was removed. I’m interested in seeing Tami and Beth A. Interact again. Tami just did not like that girl at all. She went off on her in Mexico. And now Beth is married to a man can’t wait to see her talk about that. Tami, Beth S. And Jon became the closest this season. Should be interesting to see if they’re still tight or even keep in touch. I know Beth and Jon still talk.
