How this season is filed
Seven strangers picked to live in a house — cameras rolling, confessionals waiting, conflict cast as deliberately as any writers' room. Bunim/Murray's MTV series (from New York 1992) turns hookups, politics, identity, and rent into youth soap. The template for modern reality TV never really left the loft.
