Ten years after its first visit to the Big Easy, MTV's groundbreaking reality show The Real World is heading back to New Orleans for its 24th season (yes, 24th!).Living in a gorgeous Southern-style uptown home (1633 Dufossat Street - the house is 9,860 square feet and include 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and pool), the roommates' journey won't be all parades and fun: a Mississippi party girl is haunted by abuse from a past boyfriend, a hockey player is determined to stay sober after an addiction to painkillers and a bitter rivalry between two roommates reaches a crisis point and threatens the entire house.
Other members of the diverse group include an ex-basketball star, a
State Department staffer from D.C., a Florida beach beauty and a
Lebanese girl who leaves her tight-knit family for the first time.Also - this is the first Real World house, at least in recent memory if not ever, that did not include a decoration from IKEA.
The cast reportedly engages in nightly out-on-the-town activities,
but we know mischief and mayhem are always staples in this long-running
MTV series. Already, there's that whole
my-housemate-scrubbed-the-toilet-with-my-toothbrush debacle.
But seriously . . . this show is such a letdown. The characters are downright unwatchable outside of Ashlee, Knight, and occasionally MacKenzie. Are Sahar & Eric even on the show anymore? Every time Ryan comes on screen I have to fastforward. And no, they didn't even come remotely close to doing Mardi Gras justice. I was only watching because it was set in New Orleans. Maybe the most annoying/disappointing thing about the show is the
fact that they keep going out on Bourbon Street every single night. Enough! They're not tourists anymore - go where the locals go!!!
