Wes Bergmann is among The Challenge’s greats and is considered an MTV Og due to his start on the network.
The two-time winner of MTV’s The Challenge and All Stars 3 spinoff winner debuted on 2005’s The Real World: Austin. His castmates included fellow future Challengers Nehemiah Clark and Melinda Stolp.
After multiple seasons of The Challenge, Wes announced his retirement from the franchise during CBS’ USA 2 spinoff. He was not among the cast members revealed for MTV’s Season 40.
Still, he’ll likely be rooting for his Og castmates on The Challenge: Battle of the Eras, including Johnny Bananas, Nehemiah Clark, Ct Tamburello, Jonna Mannion, and KellyAnne Judd.
They all share the commonality of starting on the now-defunct reality TV show, The Real World.
According to Wes, it’s time for someone to bring back the iconic reality TV show, although fans had mixed reactions.

There may be few ways of living more disconcerting than to be a one-season reality-tv star. The forced adjustment happens twice: First, suddenly, you’re thrust into the line of sight of the nation or the world, made into a symbol of something greater than yourself and flattened out into someone less than you know yourself to be. Then, gradually, you’re forced to watch from home as a new generation, then another, supplant you — making you into a “former” before you’ve had the chance to really be much of anything.
This is the experience explored by “The Real World Homecoming,” a show that concluded its third season June 8 on Paramount+. This viewer skipped the first two seasons, but tuned in for the reunion of the “New Orleans” cast, whose original outing, on MTV in 2000, was the first “Real World” season I watched in real time, compelled in particular...

What better way for The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans to end its season than with a Mardi Gras celebration? Unfortunately, as TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the June 8 finale reveals, not everyone’s in the mood to dance and party on the street outside their house. While most of the roommates immediately get out of the cars to join the Mardi Gras parade — Matt pretty much immediately starts dancing — Kelley hangs back. “I have this feeling of, why can’t I just have fun with this, except it’s like fun on demand and I suck at that. I genuinely suck at it in life, period, and what’s really weird for me is I’m fun. You guys don’t know that about me, you don’t see that part of me here, and I can’t figure out how to bring those two worlds together,...

When MTV’s “The Real World” came along in 1992, there were no reality categories at the Emmy Awards, recalls uber-producer Jonathan Murray, who’s now overseeing “The Real World Homecoming” on Paramount+. “So we would be in non-fiction going up against a Bill Moyers news special,” he explains. “It was many years before they got the competition category and then the reality category, which now has been divided into structured and unstructured.” He joins Gold Derby as part of our Meet the Experts: Reality TV panel (watch the exclusive video interview above).
“Before us, this idea of casting people and putting them together to learn something hadn’t been done,” notes Murray. “We had documentaries where we just follow seven people who are already friends, but no one had this idea of putting people together to see what would happen.” The producer is a 15-time Emmy nominee who took home...

“The Challenge: All Stars” Season 3 is about to be bigger than ever — and that’s coming from someone who’s been part of the franchise from the start.
“The Challenge” has had such staying power that it’s expanded internationally, with the recent announcement of seasons in Argentina, Australia and U.K. and for the first time ever, a season on CBS, set for this summer — and Bunim-Murray Productions president Julie Pizzi, who has worked on “The Challenge” as a producer since 2000, knows just how much work goes into creating it.
The winners from all four shows will come together to compete on “The Challenge: Global Championship” — something that’s never been done before. “The concept around it is that we’re really bringing all of the best together to really compete for a super-sized ‘Challenge’ that will probably be that fiercest competition yet,” the executive producer tells Variety.

For its third season, The Real World Homecoming reunites the New Orleans cast (from 2000), bringing David “Tokyo” Broom, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Danny Roberts, Matt Smith, Julie Stoffer, and Kelley Wolf back to The Big Easy to once again stop being polite and start getting real. “I think there were a lot of things about our season that were really relatable to people at that time,” Stoffer tells TV Insider. “We were going through personal things that struck a chord with people. We are going to have some of that this time around. Now we’re all in our 40s, we’re all having our midlife crises, and there are some themes that are coming up again.

To some subset of the audience of the 2000 reality show “The Real World: New Orleans,” Danny Roberts was the biggest celebrity on TV.
Roberts was the gay cast member on a TV franchise that placed a premium on frankness, openness, and unpracticed charm. The first episode of Roberts’ season saw him gradually and haltingly coming out to the six housemates producers had arranged for him to live with for months, at one point announcing he was gay in French so as to avoid doing so in English. Later on, his romance with a U.S. servicemember whose face had to be blurred in accordance with the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, was both tender and intriguing. Not immune to leaning into the inherent drama of being 22 and gorgeous and in love, Danny was a star. And he shone all the more brightly for the lack of others like him on TV.

For the dating competition, 22 recently single men and women from around the globe will be put through an “extensive matchmaking process” to find their perfect match. These singles will then live together under one roof at an international location with a shared goal of finding “The One.”
Each week, the singles will have a chance to identify all 11 perfect matches. If they do so, they win a massive cash prize.

The Challenge is making the jump from MTV to CBS.
Paramount announced a series order for The Challenge: CBS, which will air in the Summer.
The series features “reality titans from the CBS universe will compete in the most unpredictable and demanding game of their lives.”
The contestants in the series would be vying for a spot on The Challenge's War of the Worlds championship event series on Paramount+.
They would compete against contestants from the just announced The Challenge: Argentina, The Challenge: Australia, and The Challenge: UK.
The Challenge is going global, and this could be a great way to introduce new competitors into the franchise.
MTV used to have feeder shows to bring new blood into The Challenge, but in recent years, we've had contestants from Big Brother, Shipwrecked, Survivor, and Love Island.
The franchise remains a big draw, so it makes sense to go...

I'm sure I'm not the only person who winced and cringed during a particularly shocking scene from The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles's sixth episode. The scene in question occurs when some of the original season two cast members - which include Tami Roman, Jon Brennan, Beth Stolarczyk, Beth Anthony, David Edwards, Glen Naessens, and Irene Berrera-Kearns - attempt to play a friendly game of "fishbowl," and it gets off to an awfully intense start.
During the end of the episode, things take a sharp turn when a query about the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd comes up - particularly asking about Brennan's views on these topics as a white conservative. Brennan, a missionary who lives in Alabama, acknowledges that there are white people in America who are racist, but he seemingly contradicts his statement when he refers to the kids he ministers to as "young, Black,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched the premiere episode of “The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles,” streaming now on Paramount Plus.
During the summer of 1993, reality television cameras captured the moment when David Edwards, a cast member on MTV’s “The Real World: Los Angeles,” pulled the covers off of Tami Roman (then Tami Akbar), who was lying nearly naked in bed. What seemed to start out as innocent teasing between roommates turned darker as he kept yanking on the blankets, which she was desperately trying to keep wrapped around her body, resulting in her also being pulled out of bed and into the hallway in a vulnerable position. Roommate Beth Stolarczyk, who threw her own body on top of Roman to shield her from the cameras and the eyes of the others in the house, compared his problematic disregard for consent to a rapist’s behavior.

Some cast members of The Real World Los Angeles will get another shot in the MTV spotlight as the network unveils who will reunite for Season 2 of The Real World Homecoming.
Set to reunite are Beth Anthony, Beth Stolarczyk, David Edwards, Glen Naessens, Irene Berrera-Kearns, Jon Brennan and Tami Roman, who will return to the same Venice beach house from the 1993 installment. After spending decades apart, the roommates will reconnect to find out how the series transformed their lives since the cameras stopped rolling, and they’ll discover, once again, what happens when people stop being polite… and start getting real.
MTV also revealed that The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles wil make its Paramount+ debut on Wednesday, Nov. 24. The series also scored a renewal for Season 3.
Created for MTV by Jonathan Murray and the late Mary-Ellis Bunim of Bunim/Murray Productions, The Real World was the first reality series on television.

“The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles” is set for a Nov. 24 premiere on Paramount Plus, with seven of the original cast members from “The Real World: Los Angeles” reuniting in the same Venice Beach house they shared during their 1993 season.
The docuseries will feature Beth Anthony, Beth Stolarczyk, David Edwards, Glen Naessens, Irene Berrera-Kearns, Jon Brennan and Tami Roman, who reconnect almost two decades after last appearing on-screen together. Like the previous “Real World Homecoming” season (“New York”), they will reflect on how the series transformed their lives and potentially squash old conflicts.
The Los Angeles season of “The Real World” premiered on MTV in summer 1993, originally under the name “The Real World: California,” and was a thematic departure from the show’s “New York” season, which launched the franchise in 1992. It also featured the series’ first — but not its last — ouster of a castmate, when Edwards, a stand-up comedian,...

MTV turns 40 on Sunday, and it hardly looks its age. Well, that’s because it hardly looks like, well, anything anymore. At least that’s the depressing state of the linear MTV channel, which in recent years has become 95% reruns of “Ridiculousness,” along with a handful of runs of 20-year-old movies (“Joe Dirt”) and limited first-run airings of legacy shows like “Teen Mom” and “Catfish: The TV Series.”
It’s been a cliché for years to complain about what happened to the music on MTV. But the music question has been moot since the mid-2000s, when videos moved to YouTube and Vevo. The larger issue is, what happened to the programming, period, on MTV? It’s become a zombie channel, and for those of us still rooting for the brand, it’s a sad sight to see.

“We’re always going bigger – the bigger the better!” declares production designer James McGowan about the challenges of working on MTV’s ambitious Iceland-set reality action series “The Challenge: Double Agents.” “That Iceland set, the upside-down pyramid, was 90 feet across and 20 feet high” he says “It’s all about the gasp factor!

We talked with McGowan about his work on that show and “The Real World Homecoming: New York” as part of Gold Derby’s special “Meet the Btl Experts” Q&a event with key 2021 guild and Emmy contenders. Watch our interview above.
