The Real World: Philadelphia

The Real World: Philadelphia is the fifteenth 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 follow their lives and interpersonal relationships.

The season featured seven people who lived in a three-story building, and production began filming from April 30 to August 20, 2004.

An additional $3 million was spent on renovating and furnishing the building for production of the series, which included 42 mounted cameras for filming.

Joey Carson, CEO of Bunim/Murray, and Ted Kenney, a producer on The Real World, met in private over a two-week period with the trade unions.

The meetings were brokered by Mayor John F. Street, Governor Ed Rendell, Congressman Bob Brady, and other civic leaders in order to keep the production in Philadelphia.

According to UPI and TMZ.com, Officers Patrick Cavalieri and David McAndrews were off-duty when they went to the house during filming of the program, and began banging on the door.

At the 2008 The Real World Awards Bash, Shavonda received a nomination in the "Best Phonecall Gone Bad" category.
