Введение
Первый сезон сериала "Реальный мир" (ретроспективно называемый "Реальный мир: Нью-Йорк", чтобы отличить его от последующих серий сериала) – первый сезон реалити-шоу MTV "Реальный мир", в котором основное внимание уделяется группе разнообразных незнакомцев, живущих вместе в течение нескольких месяцев, пока камеры следят за их жизнью и межличностными отношениями. Он был создан продюсерами Мэри Эллис Буним и Джонатаном Мюрреем. В составе участников было семь человек в возрасте от 19 до 26 лет, большинство из которых уже жили в Нью-Йорке, когда сериал снимался. Участники жили в лофте в Сохо с 16 февраля по 18 мая 1992 года, а премьера сериала состоялась 21 мая того же года. Сериал состоял из 13 эпизодов. Это первый из трех сезонов, снятых в Нью-Йорке. В 2001 году шоу вернулось в город в десятом сезоне, а в 2008 году – в 21-м сезоне, действие которого разворачивается в районе Бруклина. В 2021 году оригинальный состав воссоединился для "Реальный мир: Возвращение домой в Нью-Йорке". Как первый сезон одного из первых сериалов в жанре реалити-шоу, "Реальный мир: Нью-Йорк" иногда приписывают новаторство в некоторых конвенциях жанра, включая объединение группы участников, которые ранее не встречались, и использование "признательных" интервью с участниками в качестве повествования шоу (хотя в первом сезоне признательные интервью были немногочисленны и не записывались в отдельной, приватной комнате, как это стало обычной практикой позже). Буним/Мюррей решили выбрать более дешевую идею – пригласить группу "обычных людей" жить в квартире и снимать их повседневную жизнь, полагая, что семи разных людей будет достаточно оснований для взаимодействия без сценариев. Производство отобрало семь участников из 500 претендентов, заплатив им 2600 долларов за участие в шоу. Участники жили в лофте с 16 февраля по 18 мая 1992 года. Премьера сериала состоялась через три дня, 21 мая 1992 года. Но в конечном итоге вернулась к своей первой любви, музыке, и работает фолк-певицей. Она знает, что хочет многого достичь в жизни, но не уверена, в каком направлении двигаться. Описанная MTV как "мрачная", она ищет зрелые отношения и в 8-м эпизоде начинает встречаться с Биллом Ричмондом, одним из режиссеров шоу.
First season of The Real World
The Real World (retrospectively referred to as The Real World: New York, to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series) is the first season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. It was created by producers Mary Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray. The cast consisted of seven people, ranging in age from 19 to 26, most of whom were already living in New York City when the series taped. The cast was filmed living in a SoHo loft from February 16 to May 18, 1992, and the series premiered May 21 that year. The series consisted of 13 episodes. This is the first of three seasons to be filmed in New York City. In 2001, the show returned to the city in its tenth season, and again in 2008 for its 21st season, set in the borough of Brooklyn. In 2021, the original cast reunited for The Real World Homecoming: New York. As the first season of one of the first series in what is now considered the reality television genre, The Real World: New York is sometimes credited with pioneering some of the conventions of the genre, including bringing together a group of participants who had not previously met, and the use of "confessional" interviews with participants to double as the show's narration (though in the first season, the confessional interviews were sparse and were not taped in a separate, private room, as would become common later). Bunim/Murray decided upon the cheaper idea of casting a bunch of "regular people" to live in an apartment and taping their day to day lives, believing seven diverse people would have enough of a basis upon which to interact without scripts. The production cast seven cast members from 500 applicants, paying them $2,600 for their time on the show. The cast lived in the loft from February 16 to May 18, 1992. The series premiered three days later, on May 21, 1992. |24

Обсуждая расовые переживания в первом эпизоде, она говорит, что после посещения полностью чернокожей средней школы, поступление в колледж с людьми разных этнических групп стало для нее новым опытом. Поскольку она утверждает, что не спит по ночам, она делит комнату с Андре. Во втором эпизоде ее можно увидеть, записывающей свой альбом The System Sucks.

First season of The Real World
The Real World (retrospectively referred to as The Real World: New York, to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series) is the first season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. It was created by producers Mary Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray. The cast consisted of seven people, ranging in age from 19 to 26, most of whom were already living in New York City when the series taped. The cast was filmed living in a SoHo loft from February 16 to May 18, 1992, and the series premiered May 21 that year. The series consisted of 13 episodes. This is the first of three seasons to be filmed in New York City. In 2001, the show returned to the city in its tenth season, and again in 2008 for its 21st season, set in the borough of Brooklyn. In 2021, the original cast reunited for The Real World Homecoming: New York. As the first season of one of the first series in what is now considered the reality television genre, The Real World: New York is sometimes credited with pioneering some of the conventions of the genre, including bringing together a group of participants who had not previously met, and the use of "confessional" interviews with participants to double as the show's narration (though in the first season, the confessional interviews were sparse and were not taped in a separate, private room, as would become common later). Bunim/Murray decided upon the cheaper idea of casting a bunch of "regular people" to live in an apartment and taping their day to day lives, believing seven diverse people would have enough of a basis upon which to interact without scripts. The production cast seven cast members from 500 applicants, paying them $2,600 for their time on the show. The cast lived in the loft from February 16 to May 18, 1992. The series premiered three days later, on May 21, 1992. |24

First season of The Real World
The Real World (retrospectively referred to as The Real World: New York, to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series) is the first season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. It was created by producers Mary Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray. The cast consisted of seven people, ranging in age from 19 to 26, most of whom were already living in New York City when the series taped. The cast was filmed living in a SoHo loft from February 16 to May 18, 1992, and the series premiered May 21 that year. The series consisted of 13 episodes. This is the first of three seasons to be filmed in New York City. In 2001, the show returned to the city in its tenth season, and again in 2008 for its 21st season, set in the borough of Brooklyn. In 2021, the original cast reunited for The Real World Homecoming: New York. As the first season of one of the first series in what is now considered the reality television genre, The Real World: New York is sometimes credited with pioneering some of the conventions of the genre, including bringing together a group of participants who had not previously met, and the use of "confessional" interviews with participants to double as the show's narration (though in the first season, the confessional interviews were sparse and were not taped in a separate, private room, as would become common later). Bunim/Murray decided upon the cheaper idea of casting a bunch of "regular people" to live in an apartment and taping their day to day lives, believing seven diverse people would have enough of a basis upon which to interact without scripts. The production cast seven cast members from 500 applicants, paying them $2,600 for their time on the show. The cast lived in the loft from February 16 to May 18, 1992. The series premiered three days later, on May 21, 1992. |24

После съемок
После съемок сезона актеры воссоединились на премьере второго сезона и поделились своими прогнозами, советами и мыслями относительно участников шоу из Лос-Анджелеса. Хизер Гарднер предсказала, что кто-то из этого состава уйдет. (Дэвид Эдвардс в итоге так и сделал.) Warner/Chappell Music заключили с Ребеккой Бласбанд издательский контракт и профинансировали "на удивление достойный" расширенный EP под названием The Rebecca Blasband. В марте 1995 года она переехала в Денвер, штат Колорадо, и выступала на разогреве у Edwyn Collins и Squeeze. В 2002 году Норман Корпи и Клинт Оуэн написали, спродюсировали и сняли пародию на "Реальный мир" под названием The Wedding Video, в которой приняли участие десять выпускников разных сезонов "Реального мира", представленных в формате видео со свадьбы Корпи в Беверли-Хиллз. Вместе с ним в видео снялись Джули Джентри и Хизер Гарднер, сингл которой "One Life" звучит в фильме. В 2002 году она жила в Джерси-Сити и только что выпустила свой альбом Eternal Affairs на лейбле SAI Records. Кевин Пауэлл стал писателем для журнала Vibe. Его книги включают "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?" и "Сохраняя всё как есть" – сборник размышлений о пост-MTV эпохе. Пауэлл также читает лекции по всей стране о поп-культуре, политике и социальной справедливости и трижды безуспешно баллотировался в Конгресс от штата Нью-Йорк. В 2017 году он женился на Джина Паркер. На церемонии The Real World Awards Bash в 2008 году Эрик Нис был номинирован на премию "Самый привлекательный мужчина", а Джули и Кевин боролись за звание "Лучшей драки". В 2021 году оригинальный состав воссоединился для проекта The Real World Homecoming: New York, в котором участники вернулись в ту же квартиру, где жили в 1992 году, за исключением Ниса, который участвовал виртуально после положительного теста на COVID-19. Участники вспомнили время съемок первого сезона и обсудили, как их опыт повлиял на их жизнь и жизнь их семей. Они также обсудили, как культура изменила их взгляды на такие вопросы, как межрасовые отношения, с момента съемок первого сезона в 1992 году, и как общество отражается в современном состоянии реалити-телевидения, о котором они высказали критическое мнение.
After filming the season, the cast reunited for the second season premiere, and provided their predictions, advice and other thoughts regarding the Los Angeles cast. Heather Gardner predicted that someone would leave that cast. (David Edwards eventually did so.) Warner/Chappell Music signed Rebecca Blasband to a publishing contract and financed a "surprisingly solid" extended play CD called The Rebecca Blasband. She moved to Denver, Colorado in March 1995, and has opened for Edwyn Collins and Squeeze. In 2002, Norman Korpi and Clint Owen wrote, produced and directed The Wedding Video, a spoof of The Real World that starred ten alumni of various seasons of The Real World that took the form of the video for Korpi's Beverly Hills wedding. Starring in the video along with himself were Julie Gentry and Heather Gardner, whose single "One Life", is featured in the film. As of 2002 she was living in Jersey City, and had just released her album Eternal Affairs through SAI Records. Kevin Powell became a writer for Vibe magazine, His books include Who's Gonna Take the Weight? and Keepin' It Real, a collection of post MTV reflections. Powell also lectures around the country about pop culture, politics, and social justice, and has unsuccessfully run for Congress three times in New York. In 2017, he married Jinah Parker. At the 2008 The Real World Awards Bash, Eric Nies was nominated for the "Hottest Male" award, while Julie and Kevin were in the running for "Best Fight". In 2021, the original cast reunited for The Real World Homecoming: New York in which the roommates moved back into the same loft in which they lived in 1992, with the exception of Nies, who participated virtually after testing positive for COVID 19. The cast members reflected on their time filming the first season, and discussed ways in which their experiences affected their lives, and those of their families. The cast also discussed ways in which the culture had changed their views on things such as race relations from their time filming the inaugural season in 1992, and how society was reflected in the modern state of reality television, of which they expressed critical views.
