The Real World: Ex-Plosion[2] (also known as The Real World: San Francisco) is the twenty-ninth season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras document their lives and interpersonal relationships. San Francisco was first reported as the location for the twenty-ninth season in an August 2013 article on the website Vevmo.[3]
This will be the second season of the program to be located in San Francisco, after the 3rd, which aired in 1994; it is the sixth season to be located in California, after the 2nd, 3rd, 14th, 20th and 26th seasons. This season also marks the sixth city to be re-used as a season's location, following New York City in the 10th and 21st seasons, Los Angeles in the 20th, New Orleans in the 24th, Las Vegas in the 25th and San Diego in the 26th (though in the cases of the 20th and 21st seasons, the settings' specific focuses were Hollywood and Brooklyn, respectively). Production began in August 2013, and the season will premiere on Wednesday, January 8, 2014, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.[4]
This season is also getting the first huge format change. The 7 roommates will move into their San Francisco home, make relationships with one another and also with the San Francisco locals. A month into the show, the cast will go on a one day trip. When they get back, they will come to see that their exes have moved in as well (hence the subtitle Ex-Plosion). Even though there's 7 roommates, only 5 exes agreed to move in, which will increase the cast number from 7 to 12.[citation needed]
The residence
The cast lives at 1244 Sutter Street between Polk Street and Van Ness Avenue, the former location of the Avalon Ballroom.[5]
