The Real World: Chicago is the 12th season of The Real World that premiered April 1st, 2014. This season became the hghest rated season since The Real World:Season 4 and the first reality television series season in MTV history to surpass the 2 million viewers mark

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. Each episode documents 1 week  in the house.

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.
