Where was the one with Jon the Cowboy? Miami? That was the last full season that I was interested in.
I'll give the new NYC one a shot, but there's too much of a formula to the show now, as well as the fact that these kids are far from being in the real world, which ticks me off.
In the real Real World, they'd be working some crappy job, paying ungodly rent for their big city dwelling, living hand-to-mouth and rooming with people as ugly (or uglier) than they are. With much less hooking up.
At least, that's my Real World experience.

I watched Hawaii a bit, and Seattle (My hometown, I had to) but most of the others were too annoying to watch.

LA was my favorite. Didn't see San Fran, and couldn't get interested in NYC (no idea why not).
Hawaii was just dull (except for the extremely random part on the trip to India where the one guy decided to turn evil and break Colin and Amaya up), ditto New Orleans.
The other seasons were okay, but... I dunno.

my oh my how could people not like London. Probably the best cast in my opinion and the coolest house.
1. They had that guy Neil. He was such a cool guy. Smart, very interesting, and was like puke but not a punk. He was a pretty cool guy.
2. That chick that was a model. She always wore the coolest skirts. I think her name was Kit. Man she was hot.
3. Jay. I maintain that he was probably the coolest castmember ever. I know that he's an unpopular one. But everyone else seems to play to the camera, which is expected. He absolutely never played to the camera. He was probalby the most real person ever on the show.

As another minority voice, I must cast my vote for the London cast. There was less back-stabbing than any other cast and they acted (relatively speaking) much more mature. There seemed to be a concentrated effort on exploring these peoples' psychologies and philosophies and, c'mon, Neil just rocks! Ya dig?
As a side note, the series has taken a (slight) downturn since they've felt the need to add gimmicks to the show (the house running their own business, helming their own radio show, etc.), but I still eat this trash up with a spoon...

The only two that I actually watched every week were the Miami and Seattle episodes, I've actually seen the Miami episodes 3 times through. I hated Hawaii the most, after only a few episodes I couldn't watch it anymore it was so bad.

In full disclosure, I am FROM Hawaii, but still....
Chronic alcoholism? Roommates sleeping with each other? Then sleeping with their ex's best friend? Hitting on a roommates identical twin sister? Continuous, gratuitous (albiet blurred) nudity?
This was the best season ever!
The problem with London was that everyone was too nice. There was no story arc, no drama.
My favorite episode all-time had to be the one, I think in Miami, where the one guy invites his extremely tall girlfriend or fiance to the house and she turns out to be the biggest b*tch on the planet. Everyone notices this except the guy. Finally he breaks up with her, only to get back with her the next week. I forget all the details, but it was pretty classic.
