You've heard it before, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," but for the seven strangers of "The Real World," what happens in Vegas, gets broadcast on MTV. For its 25th season, "The Real World" returns to the city defined by pleasure, temptation, and youth, for a look inside the lives of Adam Royer, Dustin Zito, Heather Marter, Leroy Garrett, Michael Ross, Naomi Defensor, and Nany González. As the season progresses, the roommates get to know each other, divulge secrets about themselves, and experience the ups and downs of life while living at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Everything in Vegas this time around is on a grander scale, and that will come across loud and clear this season. Romance amongst the cast members is at an all time high, as secrets are revealed and relationships are challenged. While some relationships will fail, others will emerge stronger and deeper.
This season, the roommates will enjoy all that Vegas has to offer while living it up in a lavish, pimped out suite fit for a rock star. Located in the Casino Tower at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the suite was specially designed and features "Real World" staples including a fish tank, a pool table, a confessional, and a phone room. An added bonus to the suite is the Hard Rock's infamous, celeb-favorite, bowling alley, and one of the biggest and most luxurious restrooms in "Real World" history, modeled after the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's nightclub, Vanity.
Season 24: New Orleans
"The Real World" (MTV) heads back to New Orleans for Season 24: "The Real World: New Orleans" (2010).
Eight new strangers find themselves right smack in the middle of the "Who Dat Nation," caught up in the reverie of a Super Bowl victory and the never ending party known as Mardi Gras.
Caught up in the rebirth of New Orleans, the roommates discover compassion and romance, while igniting a passion for the city's legendary food and music.
The diverse cast includes an ex-basketball star (Ashlee Feldman), a DC State Department worker (Eric Patrick), a Florida beach beauty (McKenzie Coburn), a proud gay black man (Preston Roberson-Charles), a legit hairstylist (Ryan Leslie) and a Lebanese girl who leaves her tight-knit family for the first time (Sahar Dika). Living in a gorgeous Southern style home, the roommates' journey is not all parades and fun: a Mississippi party girl is haunted by abuse from a past boyfriend (Jemmye Carroll); a hockey player is determined to stay sober after an addiction to painkillers (Ryan Knight); and a bitter rivalry between two roommates reaches a crisis point and threatens the entire house.
Season 23: Washington DC
MTV's "The Real World" heads to DC for its 22nd season: "The Real World: DC."
With high hopes and expectations, eight new roommates come to our nation's capital for the 23rd season of "The Real World," each pursuing their own passions and goals whether it be music or photography, political cartooning, or campaigning for Human Rights—while enjoying DC's exuberant and diverse nightlife. Swept up in the excitement of the new administration to serve and impact change, the roommates experience their own personal growth and life changes: a small town Texas girl realizes her dream; the jokester of the house has to get serious when it comes to love; a dysfunctional romance threatens to divide the house; and a young man learns that coming out is not only a personal choice but a political one as well.
Season 22: Cancun
MTV's "The Real World" heads to Cancun for its 22nd season: "The Real World: Cancun."
Sandy beaches. Hard bodies. Bars overflowing with sun-kissed singles looking to mingle. Cancun, Mexico is a Spring Breaker's dream—and the sexy, south of the border home to our eight newest "Real World" roomies.
Yep, once again, MTV's "The Real World" will have eight strangers living in a house (or, in this case, a boutique hotel) together. And with temperatures rising and temptation lurking in every corner on "The Real World: Cancun," it's only a matter of time before these four guys and four girls get acclimated to their sensational new surroundings.
But you can't travel very far without baggage—and all of "The Real World: Cancun" housemates are coming into this experience with more than just the clothes on their backs. While Jonna Mannion, 20, has a boyfriend not-so-patiently waiting back home, Derek Chavez, 21, has an ex-boyfriend he can't seem to shake on "The Real World: Cancun." Meanwhile, Jasmine Reynaud, 22 has a history of choosing the wrong men and Emilee Fitzpatrick, 21, has a new found desire for lasting love on "The Real World: Cancun." Then, there's Joey Rozmus, 22, who's got a history of hitting the bottle, Bronne Bruzgo, 21, who's maybe a little bit TOO uninhibited, and Christian "CJ" Koegel, 24, whose religious roots clash with his enlarged ego and over-the-top sex drive on "The Real World: Cancun." And rounding out the cast of "The Real World: Cancun" is Ayiiia Elizarraras, 21, the online contest winner (like Greg Halstead, from "Real World: Hollywood"), who's moving into her Mexican digs with a realworldcasting.com sized chip on her shoulder.
Together, the eight roommates on "The Real World: Cancun" will be combining business with pleasure when they team up with StudentCity.com to help provide college kids with the spring break trip of a lifetime. But living in paradise on "The Real World: Cancun" isn't always as easy as it sounds.
In a city where excess reigns supreme, the true test for the "Real World: Cancun" housemates will be learning to separate work from play. And when the lines (and vision) inevitably start to blur, expect to see tempers flare, sparks fly, boundaries crossed, new friendships forged and old relationships tested, all against the beautiful backdrop of the Caribbean shores on "The Real World: Cancun."
