"This is the true story, of seven strangers, picked to live in a house, work together and have their lives taped, to find out what happens, when people stop being polite, and start getting real. The Real World."

The Real World is a reality show that has aired on MTV since 1992. Like the intro says, seven different strangers are picked among hundreds of thousands of people who auditioned, and put together to live in a house for several weeks, and are video-taped the whole time. The show follows the friendships, fights, and turmoils of the seven strangers.
