--- watch the new season of Real World: Brooklyn The drama, struggles and problems of the cast of eight (a departure from the usual seven) seem more real this time around. Chet is one of 10 children from a strict Mormon family in Salt Lake City. His bleach blond hair and tight clothing make him seem like a typical party boy, but he sticks with his firm beliefs of no premarital sex and no alcohol. This eccentric conservative has no qualms about voicing his opinions, which could cause conflict with ... JD, a gay man who became one of the youngest dolphin trainers in the world at age 18. His grandmother took him to Sea World when he was 5 and he asserted to become a dolphin trainer from at that point. He eventually graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in marine biology. His homosexuality has caused a connection with ... Katelynn, a transsexual person who started living as a woman at the age of 17. She was raised by a religious Italian family and is also a black belt in martial arts. This past July, she traveled to Thailand to undergo the last set of surgeries and completed the transition from man to woman. Some of the cast picked up on her diverse nature, including ... Ryan, an Iraq veteran who enlisted in the Army at 17. He was in the Army for three-and-a-half years and experienced many near-death experiences. He is an amateur musician who likes to express himself through playing the guitar. Within the first episode, he has already expressed his taste for booze and refereed to Katelynn as an "it," which may cause problems with ... Sarah, a bisexual woman who is currently in her first relationship with a man. Until now, all of her relationships have been with women.JD and Katelynn have formed a bond because of what they have experienced in the LBGT community, which could make her feel excluded, but she could be distracted by ... Scott, a personal trainer who has been working out since he was 14. He started his own DJ business and is the first in his family to graduate college. He obsessed with staying fit and wanting to break into the modeling industry.Another cast member fixated on beauty is ... Devyn, who was Miss American Teen 2005. She hopes to break into the entertainment industry and could have an easier time by standing by her mantra, "It is easier to get into Heaven than into Devyn." She aspires to be an actress, singer and dancer. Another cast member who moved to New York to become a dancer is ... Baya, who's passionate about hip-hop culture. She occasionally suffers from panic attacks, but does not want her condition to get in the way of becoming a professional hip-hop dancer. So there you have it: eight people, one house, a whole lotta legit drama. This cast has more to offer than drunk young adults lusting after each other or the necessary alcohol-infused pick-me-up every morning that has been a staple of past seasons.
