Actually Jeff, you bring up a great point.
"The Real World" is the granddaddy of these crap ass reality shows. (Even though it has been said that TRW has been somewhat staged, apparently it has happened on the other shows as well.) I think people can better relate to "Survivor" b/c it takes people from various age groups, not just twenty-somethings like the real world.
Hell, you want to make it the "Real World"? Put a 72-year old on there, along with a 36-year old mother of 4. THAT'S the real world!
Perhaps I have drunk too much Santgria...nah! It may be time for another glass though...
