MTV invades the sandy beaches of Mexico when “The Real World” returns for its 22nd season in Cancun beginning on Wednesday, June 24th at 10:00pm et/pt. Like “The Real World: Brooklyn,” this season will again have eight roommates, who this time will head south of the border for the experience of a lifetime. This season a world of temptation awaits, as friendships will be made and broken, relationships back home will be tested…all against the backdrop of one of the world’s sexiest playgrounds.

“The Real World: Cancun’s” eight roommates will work hard and play harder while living it up in the luxurious Suite ME. Specifically designed for “The Real World,” the suite is located in Mexico’s hottest hotel, ME Cancun, and was designed to be the largest, most exclusive suite in Mexico. This season, the roommates share a common goal by partnering with StudentCity.com to provide college kids a fun and hassle free spring break vacation.

Throughout the 21 seasons of the series, “The Real World” has been one of the highest rated shows on MTV. “The Real World: Brooklyn” ranked as Wednesday’s #1 cable program in the 10p-11p time period amongst viewers p12-34.

Beginning Tuesday, May 26th, head over to MTV.com to get a sneak peek of the first episode of “The Real World: Cancun.” The website will also offer exclusive cast and house photos as well as a behind-the-scenes virtual tour from the cast of their fabulous pad.

“The challenge for ‘The Real World: Cancun’ cast will be to separate work from play in an environment full of temptations,” said Jonathan Murray, the creator and Executive Producer of “The Real World.”

“ME Hotels and Resorts was thrilled to host the entire cast of MTV’s ‘The Real World: Cancun’ at ME Cancun,” states Pete Zudyk, Vice President, Brand Innovation/Communication ME by Melia. “In partnership with ‘The Real World’ team, we created the largest, most decadent suite in Mexico, making the ME experience a living reality. Overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, and featuring infinity-edge pools, world-class cuisine and the hottest bars in Cancun, ME Cancun was the perfect location for the roommates to get real. Hosting this high-energy group has been exciting, and we are now looking forward to offering Suite ME to future guests of ME Cancun, bringing the MTV Real World reality to our guests.

“StudentCity was thrilled to be part of ‘The Real World: Cancun’ season”, says Jacqueline Lewis, Managing Director of StudentCity. “StudentCity is committed to providing fun and hassle free spring break vacations to thousands of young adults all over North American and we were happy to have the Real World cast staff with us and assist with our efforts”

Thanks for the thread, Aaron!

Why are they doing 8 roommates again?

**JamieScott** · 05-26-2009, 02:38 PM

I'd rather there just be 7. No reason for 8, but whatever.

Thank you for the links! I am at work now, but I'm going to try to check them out later.

Pretty sure Jonna (pronounced Jon-nay) was on the Discovery Kids reality show "Endurance" season 1, and won as a part of the blue team.

And, I'm not really too keen on this cast. :/ Hopefully it will be better once I actually see the show.

Yeah, that's what I heard also

I have a feeling this season will go back to hook ups and all that fun stuff. I'm going to miss Brooklynn.

Ruby_Slippers · 05-26-2009, 07:23 PM

This season looks horrible. I must admit I've seen EVERY season of the real world since the first one. I really thought they killed my show with Las Vegas and I was bored to tears with Philidelphia and San Diego.

But I thought they had gotten a clue with Hollywood and Brooklyn but this new season just looks trashy.

Aaron2005 · 05-26-2009, 07:50 PM

I'm not at all surprised the season looks the way it does. After all, it is in Cancun.

The next season of the show will be in Washington DC and I heard that it's suppose to be more like Brooklyn & the early seasons of the show

Brooklyn was a step in the right direction... and Cancun looks like a step back. But ofcourse I'll still watch. And we have another "gay" so I'm sold, and he's cute... although he looks a bit... uh, full of himself. But, so was JD.

Ruby_Slippers · 05-27-2009, 07:12 AM

The season looks like Spring Break gone wrong. But they can still have interesting characters in tropical places. Anyone remember Hawaii?

Oh, that is funny! I loooove Endurance.

**blonde bombshell** · 05-29-2009, 07:54 PM

I loved Endurance too.

Seeing the previews, it looks like we're back to the drunk hookups again. Which makes me sad. Brooklyn was so good. I'll still watch too, but I'm already unimpressed.

**JamieScott** · 06-01-2009, 10:29 AM

Ugh, yeah, I saw previews a couple times last night.... Doesn't look that great. We'll see if I get attached to this season or not.
