'Real World: Brooklyn': Meet the cast

Sizing up the eight (not seven!) strangers moving into the Brooklyn house

By Rebecca Ford, Metromix

Just like a true 21-year-old, "The Real World: Brooklyn" (the show's 21st season) will be sloppy drunk, dramatic and probably a little bit skanky. This time eight—yes, that's one more than ever before—hotter-than-you roommates will be moving in to the fancy New York pad, including a punk rock Mormon, a hip-hop dancing hippie and an abs model.

We're taking a closer look at the new cast, the baggage they're bringing into the house and the potential drama we're all so desperately hoping for.

"The Real World: Brooklyn" premieres Wednesday, Jan. 7, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
