Real World: Go Big or Go Home is the thirty-first season of MTV's reality television series Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras document their lives and interpersonal relationships. It is the fourth season to be filmed in the Mountain States region of the United States, specifically in Nevada.

Las Vegas was first reported as the location for the 31st season by the website DTLV.com on September 15, 2015. It will be the third season of Real World to be filmed in Las Vegas, following the twelfth and twenty-fifth seasons, which aired in 2002–03 and 2011, respectively. Production began on October 9, 2015, and concluded on December 16, 2015 totaling up to 70 days of filming.^[3]

On January 13, 2016, Entertainment Weekly reported that the season will be titled Real World: Go Big or Go Home. This season of Real World has yet another twist: it will feature the cast members performing Road Rules-type missions in order to remain on the show. Unlike Road Rules, some missions will be individual-based, some will involve just part of the group, and some will be team-based.^[4][5][6] The season premiered on March 17, 2016; it is the first season of the series to premiere simultaneously on MTV and the MTV app's livestream.^[1]

Season changes

On this season, all cast members will undergo missions to stay in the house (either by an individual, some or all), similar to the missions based on Road Rules. If one cast member chose not to do the mission, they will be forced to leave the group. Unlike the last two seasons, no group assignment or a range of certain jobs are given.

The residence

In contrast to the previous two seasons in Las Vegas, which were filmed at the Palms Casino Resort from 2002–03 and at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2011, the residence for this season will be at Gold Spike in Downtown Las Vegas.^[7][8]

5	582	"The Leak"	April 14, 2016	0.45
An anonymous Internet leak impacts Jenna and creates major drama inside and outside the house. Kailah and Chris attack Jenna accusing for being offensive, while Jenna attacks Kailah believing she leaked all the informations about her. Everybody in the house is wondering who the leaker is and most of them think it is Kailah, but later Chris reveals in the confessional that it was him because he believes that Jenna represents a tradition of racism, anti-gay and mormon. The housemates find out that their next mission is "Phobia" and is about Jenna's and CeeJai's spider phobia. Production brought the spiders in the house and Jules Sylvester, a spider wrangler and expert from Kenya place a number of spiders on the castmembers bodies and they had to last a least 60 seconds in order to pass the mission. Everyone made it through. Later that night, Dione loses all of Dean's money on gambling in the casino. The next day Chris bullies Jenna while making of her in front of everybody. Dione tries to panhandle in order to return Dean his money but soon realises it is not the right way to do so as he realises that it might look like he makes fun of homeless people. CeeJai comes to Jenna saying that she has her back which means Jenna a lot. The new mission was "Roll" and cast successfully experienced flying in planes by themself and "fighting each other" in the Nevada Desert. Kailah reveals to Chris that after filming she wants to be a journalist and plans writing an article about the Mormon religion and going to Utah to find more information about it as she finds it very interesting. Chris speaks up about his turbulent life with Mormonism. The next day, Chris finds out he has to say the truth about leaking the stuff about Jenna as part of his next mission which he did eventually.
