The Real World: Key West
The inside scoop on the cast of the new season, in Key West, which begins in a couple of weeks. Guess which one's the gay one? Also, I notice there's no black guy this season. No homo.
Janelle, 23 -- San Jose, CA
Don't let Janelle's good looks fool you -- she's one tough cookie. This bi-racial beauty is described by many as "very independent" and that definitely seems accurate when looking at her life.
Your father sayeth: Tragic mulatto, obviously. Possibly the kind of half black chick that tries to overcompensate by acting extra "independent."
John, 23 -- Fullerton, CA
With his chameleon-like ability to adapt to his surroundings, recent Penn State graduate John is the Real World's answer to Ferris Bueller. An unpredictable mixture of craftiness, charisma, intelligence and kindness, John more than lives up to his old nickname, "Johnny Bananas."
Your father sayeth: "Johnny Bananas," eh? Sounds like your typical closeted frat boy.
Jose, 20 -- Sunrise, FL
20-year-old Jose was raised in Brooklyn, surrounded by drugs, violence and the influence of "the wrong crowd." But since Jose has never been one to take the easy road, he's found a way to break free from negative influences.
Your father sayeth: Positive people make me sick. No Pedro Zamora.
Paula, 24 -- Meriden, CT
Since her graduation from Quinnipiac University, Paula has become a corporate slave by day, but makes up for it by partying relentlessly at night. No shrinking violet, this striking girl demands the spotlight from both men and women.
Your father sayeth: A Canadian slut, likely with some sort of history of abuse.
Svetlana, 19 -- Richboro, PA
As a nineteen year old pre-med student at Temple University, Svetlana has the reputation of being the "crazy Russian chick." This voluptuous fireball may appear brassy and confident at first, but it's clear that she's equally vulnerable on the inside.
Your father sayeth: Typical slutty foreign chick. Probably fucks a lot of black guys.
Tyler, 23 -- Minneapolis, MN
While Tyler may say that he's "manipulative," and "mischievous," the wry smile on his face says this could just be his dry humor talking. Or is it? With Tyler, who is openly gay, it can be difficult to tell the difference between sarcasm and seriousness--but that's half the fun.
Your father sayeth: No homo.
Zach, 22 -- Portland, OR
The proverbial nice guy you want to take home to mom, 22-year-old Zach is sensitive, good-looking and goal-oriented. A Communications grad from Lewis and Clark College, Zach has a world of opportunity waiting for him. Born into a close-knit Jewish family, he comes from old money and old traditions.
Your father sayeth: "Old money and old traditions," eh?
