Real World Denver, my first impression

navyweaxguy · #1 Posted: **Nov 23, 2006, 3:04 AM**

When the show started I was pissed that they made it seem like Denver is in the mountains. I know that most people around the country probably think that, but damm, why keep pushing that...

The cast is typical Real World.. blah blah blah

The house was sweet. Personally I would have taken all the stuffed animal bodies outside, but that's just me.

Plenty of sweet shots of downtown though. I can't for them to get out and away from LoDo.

That's my $.02

I just finished watching it too....here is what I thought:

They had some pretty cool shots of denver...lots of downtown and some of the mountains...makes it seem like a pretty cool place to live (but the real world house puts TOO much emphasis on "wild animals and the outdoors")

The show itself is kind of lame...to be honest, I probably wouldn't have watched it if I wasn't interested in the "denver" aspect but will keep watching in hopes of some more cool video footage of denver.

My impression: They are all sluts...

... I liked it.

Good shots of Denver.

Typical Real World IMO, with maybe one exception, all biaestness aside I think this Denver Real World House is the best one I have seen in a long time. I wonder what will happen with it now that the show is over? Or at least the filming and location is over. I am also curious if they will venture into the hills? Or possibly Boulder for some good times? Anyways it seems like they had fun here in our City. The best part is they are highlighting Denver very well imo the City looks great! And downtown is pretty much a little party central type of scene, so hey why not host MTV's ultimate party show here...

great shots of denver...it was typical....and hiliarious.
best was when the girl says "i wont' sleep with anybody"...and then does on the first night out...

ok, I caught a rerun last night, first time I saw it.

The city shots were fun, they tried to make denver look good, I mean they kept the empty parking lot shots to a minimum, and they tried to make denver look like a fun place (which it is).

The loft was horrible. The word 'denver', ugg!. I remember when pavillions first displayed a big 'denver' as if someone needed help remembering. And the colo flag, and the jeep, mounted animals

We get it already. I like that stuff in a cabin.... Most people in city of denver, or should I say nearly no one decorates their house like that. And some of those mountain shots are like 70 miles a way.

I watched it only because of the Denver angle. I thought they made the city look great and I didn't mind the mountain shots because we're close enough to the mountains that they're part of our culture and a backdrop for our skyline.

I thought the people were morons, for the most part. I can't believe I could relate to the "Real World" cast back when I was their age. I suppose if they had all level-headed, reasonable people, then there wouldn't be a show.

^ Yeah Joe I see your point with the mountain shots and what-not but that was the first episode so who knows? they might show some sun setting shots from downtown in the future and then people will see that the foothills lye some 15 miles west of downtown not right in our City! Like the impression that was kinda made in that first episode, and you don't like the house? Are you serious? I honestly think MTV did quite well on the Denver house, it has to be in the top 5 that place is Sick! With the exception of maybe the stuffed wild animals, that could go but the rest freakin' rocks! I think my favorite part is the the Jeep Bar, then the B-Ball Hoop out back.

I wonder if they will sell this place now? Or what is going to happen to it? Oh well i'm excited to see how this season goes. And just how they will portrait our City. Exciting stuff.

BroncoCSU05 · #13 Posted: **Nov 27, 2006, 6:06 PM**

my god...i saw places that i was unfortunately at while they were already. i notice they decided to edit some drama out that happened after monarch...my yelling into the mics "what a fucking ridiculous staged drama, shut the fuck up" probably didn't help that scene take off

i love being a dick.

oh yeah, SLUTS GALORE.

COtoOC · #14 Posted: **Nov 27, 2006, 6:07 PM**

I saw an article a couple weeks ago that said the house is on the market for something like $3 million. And it's zoned to go back to being a business, not remain a home.

joeindt · #15 Posted: **Nov 27, 2006, 6:34 PM**

Ya, word from the bar people I know, drama followed the cameras every place they went... apparently people were being dicks.

Channel 7 reported that The Real World staff stated that Denver citizens were the nicest and most accomodating people from all the locations they have been to so far. Other cities' experience of The Real World had people shooting at the Real World house, numerous accounts of graffitti on the houses, constant unbearable harassment from people on the street and in bars (San Diego really had a hard time with harassment), etc, etc. Apparently the little bit of harassment they experienced in Denver was not much compared to other cities.

P.S.
I thought some of the shots of the city were nice -- others weren't. They did play into some Colorado stereotypes though. I bet you many people that watch the show are/will be surprised on how big Denver is and how much of a vibrant city it is -- not a cow town "in" the mountains. In post-taping interviews, some of the cast members said that before they arrived here they had no idea of how big Denver was and how much it has - and they quickly changed their minds.

did you notice people trying to flip off the cameras in the episode? at the bar, on the mall shuttle, etc. apparently they do that in EVERY city they end up going to. haha, everyone freaking hates them, it's awesome.

How far are the mountains from downtown DENVER?

Post some good pics of Denver!

^ just look in city photos right now. i got a thread up there already.

soonermeteor · #20 Posted: **Nov 28, 2006, 12:04 AM**

I just got to watch it last night too. I was at home and the parents aren't exactly MTV fans, so call me a momma's boy

.

It was the same ol' real world, even though that continous " I wish we had a gay guy" was quite funny knowing they did.... might have been a set up though.

However, the one thing i know to expect is what we got: city shots. I've seen some episodes of previous seasons and they make sure you know with each transition which city you are in. The fly-overs, moutain shots, and downtown shots were all great. They had the light rail in shots, they arrived by train and airplane, and they talked about a lot of bars,restaurants and had lodo/16th street shots. They really made Denver look hip, fun, and modern.
