If you have seen any other Real World You Never Saw DVDs, then you will know what to expect with this DVD. The formula is the same. For those that don't, it's pretty much a collection of outakes that show the cast acting silly. There is no drama here.
I give this DVD an average rating because MTV never puts much effort in the DVDs. The short runtime is weak enough, but the special features are always lacking. I was hoping this time they could at least throw in the City High promo songs for this season, but instead we get the same old house tour and cast bio/audition tapes.
Like I said, it's average at best.

This is really a horrible dvd...its a whole bunch of clips that leave you hanging.... you dont know whats going on the whole time, and its 19 3 or 4 minute tracks of different misc. video clips. most of these are choppy and at horrible angles....it should be titled "The Real World You Didnt Want To See" Its really pointless. Plus all the nudity is still blocked...for those who were anxious to know....

I enjoy watching the Real World on MTV, so I was looking forward to viewing this DVD.

Some of the segments were boring.

I was disappointed because the DVD is too short. MTV records the cast 24/7 so you'd think there would be more footage to share on this DVD. Not so.

I loved the Real World Chicago. So, I was really psyched to be able to see some of the behind the scenes material. I was even more disappointed once I saw it.

What they have thrown together is only mildly entertaining. A story about a bird getting loose in the house, nicknames the cast came up with, and how they "uncover" the Real World filming vault in the basement. Yawn.

This was a really strong cast with some really different personalities and I was hoping they would have shown some of the ways those personalities clashed. A DVD should have opened up opportunities to show stuff you couldn't show on TV - they completely missed the boat on that. All of this material (with VERY few exceptions) could have been shown on TV, as is.

If you are truly a die-hard Real World Chicago fan, look for this DVD secondhand. Anyone else is better off taking a pass on it. A real wasted effort.

I had started watching the movie with minimal expectations. The movie featured some funny segments such as Aneesa's special "friend" and Tonya's extensive vocabulary. I didn't think the movie was that funny though. I was hoping for a lot more. Compared to previous "You Never Saw"s, this one wasn't that great. If you have watched the season and have a few extra bucks, get the movie. It isn't a must though.

Real World You never saw Chicago is a great DVD. I just got this DVD And it is the best DVD I have ever seen of the Real World! If you are a Real World Fan you would enjoy it. You get too see the scenes of this season that you have never seen before. The DVD is about 44 min long. and has 19 chapters. The chapters are called

1)And The Most Naked Person Is...
2)What Are The Cameras For?
3)Going For The Natural Look
4)Showering With Friends
5)That's Gotta Hurt
6)The Lobster Zone
7)Crossing The Line
8)Becoming Chris
9)One Flew Into The Real World Nest
10)Good Viberations
11)The Game Is On
12)The Real World Language
13)I Got The Moves
14)This Message Is For Tonya...
15)Who Is Jippy The Hand?
16)Aneesa's Multiple Personalites
17)Keep That Too Yourself
18)The Not So Haunted House
19)The Crew Gets Even

And then the DVD has special features. The Special Features that they feature are Cast Video Profiles, Art Galley, And a House Tour Hosted by Cara And Theo.

This is a DVD you don't want too miss out on. Getting them while they are still Selling! It is for every Real World Fan!

i wasn't expecting much when i purchased this dvd (after all, the main feature only runs a scant 44 minutes) and after viewing it my expectations were not wrong. Some of the material edited here are just plain boring (The Lobster Game, The bird that flew into the Loft...WHO CARES) to the briefly covered (escapades in the group showers segments lasts a mere 1 minute!). Compared with past RWYNS discs, this is a weak effort and replay value is minimal. Again, the topics covered are not as compelling or funny as previous editions. It's such a shame coming from a good cast. I've always considered it strange that these RWYNS discs are released singular from a complete season set for the respective season when the RWYNS Dvds should be and are the bonus features found on similar tv show boxed sets. Even though with its shortcomings, the disc has some easter eggs that are pretty funny albeit short, at 14 seconds a piece ( i see a trend here).

It was great seeing the cast again and the behind-the-scenes looks are really funny. Worth what I paid and then some! Definitely recommend it!

Not very good. Really boring to watch.

Who doesn't love the stuff left on the cutting room floor from the Real World series? Especially with this cast, Chicago. Chris, Aneesa, Theo, Cara, Keri, Tony, and Kyle are all here, with some good and boring stuff we never got to see. As with any "Never Saw" disc, we are shown bloopers, crazy antics, and little stuff not seen on the show. We get to see Chris' "pet hand," more of Aneesa's naked antics, Kyle pretending to be Chris, Chris saying how good Kyle looks as him, and Tonya slamming her head into a camera (Yeah!). There's much more in the 40+ minutes of the footage (some hilarious stuff, and some blah stuff), with in-between cast reactions and such.

There's also the usual 3-5 minute video profile of each cast member. Why they focused on Kyle talking about ... nevermind, just check it out. All of these are great watches as you get to see snippets from the audition tapes and casting interviews. Then there's the suprisingly entertaining house tour given by Cara and Theo. The two are a lively pair and keep the house tour very quick paced, fun, and interesting. Also is a blueprint gallery, and an artwork gallery.

Although this disc isn't as entertaining as previous ones (Ahem, The New Orleans cast), it doesn't bore you. With Aneesa, Cara, and Keri (Who supply the more hilarious scenes), it's quite worth it.
