Emily Nussbaum on the inception of the show “The Real World,” a then radical experiment on MTV, drawn from “Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV.”
One floor downstairs, in the control room for the first season of MTV’s “ The Real World ,” the show’s co-creators, Jon Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim, gazed at a bank of live-feed monitors in excitement. They had planted the book—the fashion photographer Bruce Weber’s collection “Bear Pond,” which had been Eric’s big break as a model—inside the loft, hoping that the racy image would provoke a reaction from the housemates.
” A year later, when MTV picked up the series, Faraldo’s job description shifted, although she kept her title. By then, Bunim/Murray had hired George Verschoor, an experienced producer, to be the showrunner. Although Faraldo did multiple tasks, her main role was to act as the go-between for the cast and the crew. She would become a crucial bridge between two sides that were supposed to keep their distance.
