NEW YORK – MTV HAS announced the premiere date, twist and
cast of iconic series "Real World: Go Big or Go Home." This season
which premieres on Thursday, March 17th at 10PM ET/PT, seven strangers are
brought together in Downtown Las Vegas for a wild, adrenaline-filled season
that will confront their hopes, fears, and anxieties. From the moment they first meet, they are
thrown into a series of over the top, daring missions – some for the entire
group and some designed specifically for each individual – but always with the
caveat that if they can't complete the mission, they are sent home and another
roommate will take their spot.
Living in a tricked out suite atop the Gold Spike hotel, the
diverse roommates must learn to live together not knowing what the next day or
next hour will bring. From jumping out
of a hot air balloon to performing on stage in a strip club, or meeting the
birth mom who placed them for adoption, the roommates are forced to face deeply
emotional moments from their past while accomplishing dreams they never thought
possible. In typical Vegas style, they
always 'go big' – but if they fail, it will be time to go home.
"Real World: Go Big or Go Home" Cast includes:
DEAN - This charming hunk is going through a divorce and
looking to explore his life as a bachelor.
Dean grew up until the age of 5 in Ghana, Africa and then moved to Las
Vegas with his father. He attended the
University of Nevada, Reno where he wooed the sorority girls with his humor and
pretty boy vibes until meeting the woman he had a nightmare relationship with.
Dean is coming into the Real World looking for a fresh start and is ready to
cut loose in Las Vegas.
KAILAH - This stunning flirt credits her Puerto Rican
heritage for her notable eyebrows, impressive derriere, and loud unpredictable
personality. Unafraid of the casual hook
up, Kailah warns guys not to fall in love with her due to her sexual prowess. A
mean girl in high school, Kailah was a cheerleader and was voted "Gossip
Queen" by her peers. Though she was
popular growing up, Kailah admits to having very few friends due to her strong
personality and to this day has trouble maintaining friendships and roommates. While living in the Real World house, Kailah
hopes to work on her patience and grow past her drama queen phase.
SABRINA - Often viewed as aggressive, this Boston bred
beauty is not afraid to speak her mind.
This aspiring singer/song-writer has a fascination with whip cream and
an ability to sexualize any situation.
Sabrina was adopted as a baby and her biggest fear is to find and meet
her biological mother. She has heard rumors that her mother lives either in
Vegas or California but she isn't sure.
Sabrina wants to find and hopefully meet her biological mom but is
worried about what she will find out if she goes down that road.
CEEJAI - Growing up in East St., Illinois, Ceejai' was faced
with many tough obstacles. Not only has
she lost several friends to gun violence, but it has also directly impacted her
family. Turning a tragedy into social action, Ceejai works to bring awareness
to her community about gun violence and domestic abuse. She hopes to eventually pursue a career as an
attorney to fight for stronger gun laws and bring promise back to the tough neighborhood
in which she was raised. Ceejai', an adrenaline junky and currently single, is
hoping that this experience will open up a whole new world for her.
JENNA - Don't let this Southern bombshell's looks fool you,
this feisty tomboy knows how to get down and dirty – from shooting guns to bow
and arrows in her bikini. A proud
Southerner, Jenna is very vocal about her beliefs and the traditions she was
raised with; and is no doubt the only roommate with a pet pig at home. Jenna
was raised by her deer-hunting Mormon father, until she moved in with her
mother at the age of 15. Real World will
be a chance for Jenna to explore life, culture, and beliefs outside of her
country town of Easley, South Carolina.
CHRIS - Christopher is a Salt Lake City bred Mormon boy
turned liberal New York City hipster. His disassociation from the Mormon Church
and recent acceptance of his 'pansexuality' have fueled his fight against
religious discrimination, made him an advocate for LGBTQ rights, and put him at
odds with his conservative family. Chris is on a journey to find his true self
and enter a new chapter of life where he refuses to say "no" to
anything. What better place to put that
into practice than in the Las Vegas Real World house?
DIONE - Better known as "Jungle Boy", this
adrenaline junkie prides himself on living life on the edge without the burden
of responsibility. Having fully embraced
the Peter Pan lifestyle of never growing up, his biggest fear is having a 9-5 job,
or having to work at all for that matter. Dione would much rather find women
that will fall to his charm and boyish personality, rather than get into
anything serious. His female roommates are sure to lust over this "Jungle
Boy", but only time will tell if his roommates can handle his crazy, over-energized
antics.
"Real
World" pioneered reality-based television debuting its first season in New
York City. Each season, the show brings
seven young strangers to live together in a new town and rolls the cameras
24-7, witnessing as their lives intersect, their ideas are challenged, and
their passions emerge.
Throughout the 30 seasons of the series, "Real
World" has been one of the network's highest rated shows. Last season's "Real World:
Skeletons" ranked #1 in its time period across all television among MTV's
core P12-34 audience with an average viewership of 1.4 million.

"Real World" was created for MTV by Jonathan
Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim of Bunim/Murray Productions. Jonathan Murray, Gil Goldschein and Jim
Johnston serve as Executive Producers of "Real World."
