The Real World: Brooklyn is unlike any other Real World before it. This time, it’s for keeps you guys. Forget the hot tub, the drinking, the wild threesomes, the morons…this time, it’s about finding yourself – and a mouse in your bed. We here at Bestweekever.tv can personally attest to how different this season is going to be. Last week, we had the great honor of visiting the Real World house and meeting the cast members. Though much of the buzz on the internet thus far is about how one of the cast members is transgendered, we found the entire cast to be a varied group of fairly intelligent people with interesting stories – and few of them fit the mold of what the RW has come to be in recent years (though, all of them contain that certain unnameable quality that a person has to have in order to want to be on the show). One thing was clear (as this trailer – WHICH ALMOST MADE ME CRY – will show): this time - it’s really f*cking serious.

The experience of going to the house was fascinating, fun, surreal, and at times terrifying. And guess what! We are going to bring you LOTS of interviews, videos, and pictures in the coming weeks (some of which may show one or more of us topless…stay TUNED!). The show premieres January 7.
