Get the picture?

That's the setting for the 22nd season of "The Real World," which moves eight strangers into a boutique hotel in Cancun so they can start getting real (as in "real"-ly drunk). And as with all seasons since Hawaii, expect the usual young beautiful people bringing all the usual young beautiful baggage with them.

There's Jonna, 20, who has a boyfriend not-so-patiently waiting back home. And Derek, 21, has an ex-boyfriend he can't seem to shake. Meanwhile, Jasmine, 22, has a history of choosing the wrong men and Emilee, 21, has a new found desire for lasting love. Then there's Joey, 22, who's got a history of hitting the bottle, Bronne, 21, who's maybe a little bit too uninhibited and C.J., 24, whose religious roots clash with his enlarged ego and over-the-top sex drive. And rounding out the cast is Ayiiia, 21, the online contest winner (we saw how well that worked out last season...), who's moving into her Mexican digs with a realworldcasting.com-sized chip on her shoulder.

The cast members will not only live together, but they'll work together at StudentCity.com to help provide college kids with the spring break trip of a lifetime.

Check out this preview for the upcoming season of "The Real World: Cancun":

"The Real World: Cancun" premieres Wednesday, June 24, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
