Today, Paramount got into the streaming business with Paramount+. One of the first shows to debut on the streaming service was a reunion from one of the first reality shows to grace our televisions.
In 1992, we got to know Norman Korpi, Julie Gentry, Becky Blasband, Kevin Powell, Andre Comeau, Heather Gardner, and Eric Nies on The Real World. Back in January, they all got together again for six days to film The Real World Homecoming: New York in the same loft from 28 years ago.
Well, almost everyone. Six houseguests moved in, but one was missing. That person is Eric Nies. Did the model turn host get bitten by the Divo bug and refuse to do it? Far from it. He got bit by a different bug; he tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to quarantine in a hotel. He is still part of the reunion, but from a safe distance away from his former roommates.
When it comes to the first episode, they are still nice to each other. It could be because they are older, or it could be that they are still being polite. Hopefully, next week they will start getting real. Who doesn’t love reality show drama? That is why we are still watching Real World after all of these decades. Do you feel old?
Talking about old, let’s talk about how great they all look. They aged a little, but they all still look great. I would still be able to pick them all out in a crowd.
