I'm glad they didn't do Ft. Greene. Of course nobody in the neighborhood would probably rent to them.

When they get done with that $6 million penthouse, it's going to be worth $450k. See if residents from Stuyvesant Town don't go sniffing around there at all hours.

I'm sure they appreciate the sympathy.

Agree with Dev, if you're past the quarter century mark and still giving two shits about this show, I feel sorry for you.

A block away from my lab... fabulous. I wonder if we're allowed to ban them from the MetroTech Commons and the surrounding streets.

maybe they can get jobs at Bear Stearns in MetroTech... oh, wait maybe not.

Matty: Actually S.F was the third season and yes I agree were the best two. Season Two was the "Trooo Store-Ray" that had my all-time favorite R.W. line: "It wasn't not funny!" by Tami.

it went in the crapper for each of us after we got out of college and it became irrelevant to our lives.

These kids will have nothing in common with Kevin Powell or any of the first-seasoners. Any opinions on when it went in the crapper? I say after Boston.

They should have stuck them in a crack house in Bed Stuy or Bushwick.

Anything after NY and the SF ones were crap. I think that was seasons 1 and 2

Think twice

Remember when Real World was purported to be a documentary/social experiment of the 18 to 30 zeitgeist. Now, it's Temptation Loft.

An even better place would be Park Slope.

At least we'll finally know where that "syrup smell" is coming from.

I think they should shoot (no pun intended) at Sunset Park.

To bad its not in redhook or bushwick trust me the crime on the show would boost ratings, on how people from the midwest adjust to a crime ridden neighborhood with in a stones throw from the City.

While I'm glad they won't be filming in my neighborhood, Downtown isn't the best representative of Brooklyn. That place is a ghost town at night. Fort Greene would have been a better choice. Anyhoo, my sympathies to the Beltel residents.
