Format
The format of this season will be slightly altered compared to previous seasons. The age limit was increased from 26 to 31. The cast stay under one roof while a set of cameramen film thier relashonships and how they confront thier issues while living in the house. Unlike seasons 6-11, this season (and future seasons) will be focusing more on the cast and thier issues, this season will be the first season since seasons 1-4 in which boys will be assigned a "Life Coach" whom they will have weekly meetings with. Also, violence in the house will be restricted. After severe backlash from fans about the excessive violence/bullying and jumping from seasons 8-11, both MTV and Bunim Murray have decided that any roomates engaging in any violence in the house will result in either eviction or a penalty from the production and that jumping and bullying is prohibited under any circumstances.

Replacements
In Each season of the Real World when a fight occurs in the house, the prodution determine if one of the boys are evicted, if they are evicted, a new boy is picked to replace the boy who left. In other cases a boy will voluntarily leave the house do to family issues or due to the fact that they might not want to be in the house anymore in which a new will replace them as well.
