Guilty pleasure returns
Hello. My name is Shawn and I love The Real World... I've seen every episode from 13 of the past 14 years (I skipped the London installment)... some of them two or three times.

The show started its 15th season tonight with The Real World: Philadelphia and I can already tell I'm going to like this cast. Of course, they've stacked the deck to insure maximum tension. There is the good-natured country boy, the needy sexpot, the flambouyantly straight jock, the bitchy blonde, the foxy black girl who dates a dorky white guy and two, count 'em two, homosexual men - one sterotypical and one not.

Unlike last year's cast, who pretty much all got along, this one looks like there will be plenty of melodrama to keep it interesting. In the first episode, Willie and Karamo bonded with their straight roommates at a gay bar and Sarah let the guys feel her fake breasts. What else do you want in a show?
