Reunited: The Real World debuted on MTV in 2007 and brought back some of the most memorable cast members from the past seasons of the network's popular reality series, The Real World. Hosted by comedian Aries Spears, the show was filmed in Las Vegas and featured eight former housemates from different seasons who would be living and working together in the same casino hotel for six weeks.
The cast included Steven Hill, Trishelle Cannatella, and Irulan Wilson, who were all previous cast members of The Real World: Las Vegas season in 2002. Other cast members included Genesis, from The Real World: Boston, CT, from The Real World: Paris, Syrus, from The Real World: Boston, Ruthie, from The Real World: Hawaii, and Frankie, from The Real World: San Diego.
Reunited: The Real World followed the familiar format of The Real World, as the castmates lived in close quarters and dealt with personal issues, romance, conflicts, and unexpected surprises. However, unlike the original show, in which the cast members were usually strangers before they moved in together, the cast of Reunited already had history and established relationships with each other.
The show kicked off with an introductory episode that featured each of the cast members arriving at the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, meeting each other again after years of being apart, and catching up on each other's lives. Steven, who had become a successful actor and musician, seemed to be the most changed since his time on The Real World, and he received a lot of attention from the other cast members. Trishelle, who famously had a wild and controversial time on The Real World: Las Vegas, also seemed to be eager to rekindle old flames and partying habits. Irulan, on the other hand, had moved on from her youthful partying ways and was now a married mother of one.
As the show progressed, the castmates faced various challenges and tasks that tested their teamwork and communication skills. They worked together as hotel hosts, blackjack dealers, and club promoters, managing to work hard and play hard at the same time. They also dealt with personal issues, such as Ruthie's struggle with alcohol dependence, CT's uneasy relationship with Frankie, and Trishelle's unresolved feelings for Steven.
One of the highlights of the show was the return of the infamous hot tub from The Real World: Las Vegas season. The castmates spent several steamy and dramatic nights in the hot tub, sharing their thoughts and feelings with each other and testing their boundaries. Notably, Trishelle and Steven had a flirtatious and ambiguous relationship that kept the other cast members on their toes.
Overall, Reunited: The Real World was a nostalgic and entertaining show that brought back some of the most memorable cast members and moments from The Real World franchise. It provided an interesting twist on the original formula, as the cast members already knew each other and had a shared history. Fans of the original show, as well as newcomers to the franchise, found the show to be a fun and engaging glimpse into the lives and dynamics of former reality stars.
