Summary
This is the (allegedly) final episode in our series on The Real World. Today we are featuring an interview with a producer, who shares the crew point of view. Even though *technically* the series is on the Real World, we're allowing a lot of Challenge discussion in this show as well. We talk about whether the show is exploitative or beneficial for participants (or both). We analyze the New York Times article that describes former cast member, Preston Roberson-Charles, who was homeless for two years after his appearance. We debate whether production companies have a responsibility to provide aftercare to cast members.
