Is it just me, or does each season of Real World set a new standard for crazy? After RW: Hollywood, I figured the producers would be fresh outta party tricks -- but no -- apparently you can always up the insanity bar. Exhibit A: Pranks involving rodents placed inside sleeping quarters (see trailer). Exhibit B: Girls who think guys are gay, guys who think girls are guys (see trailer). Exhibit C: Glass coffee table smashed to pieces (see trailer).
SO ... take a peek at the trailer for this winter's Real World: Brooklyn, a house of seven eight strangers with WAY BIG issues, egos and tempers ...
Season 21 of the Real World is just around the corner, so we're taking the opportunity to leak some of the top secret details and allow you to make the typical snap judgments about each castmember in advance of the premiere (January 7 at 10pm). Fun, right?!
For the first time in the history of the 'World,' eight strangers -- instead of seven -- will come together under one roof to learn about false first impressions, not to mention what happens when people stop acting polite and blah blah blah ... So in honor of all the silly generalizations Real World strives to break down, let's play a little game called ... Judge The Book By Its Cover!
Instructions: Above you'll see a pic of the eight Real World: Brooklyn castmembers. See if you can match the totally vague and superficial descriptions below with the face of their owner:
Iraq war veteran
Former beauty queen
Hip-hop dancing hippie
Punk rock Mormon
Dolphin trainer
Computer geek
Abs model
Advocate for victims of abuse
We guarantee you'll get at least one of these guys pegged wrong ... and isn't that why we're still tuning into this damn show 21 seasons later? (OK, OK, it's also for the hookups, bar fights and awkward coed bathroom scenes.)
Don't forget to tune in January 7 for the premiere of Real World: Brooklyn!
Last week I hitched a ride to the Real World: Brooklyn house, where I promptly drilled a brand new cast of camera-friendly drama queens about their recent three-month stint inside MTV's notorious traveling nuthouse. Per the usual, they're a highly dynamic yet totes dysfunctional family of young and restless, attention-seeking individuals complete with expert level Rock Band skillz, low alcohol tolerance and remarkable bone structure. And as far as Real World living spaces go, this one wins the award for Coolest City Loft No 20-Something New Yorker Could Ever Realistically Afford. To shed some perspective, each month I shell out upwards of $1700 for a 1-bedroom apartment the size of this kitchen:
In fact, there is only enough countertop in my kitchen to accommodate a toaster and half a loaf of bread. I can't possibly imagine what it would cost to rent a place with three bedrooms, each as big as this:
More rage-inducing shots of the luxurious Real World: Brooklyn loft after the jump!
