It seems like just yesterday MTV was searching for a home for their Real World Brooklyn cast, and now the show is ready to air! How fast these reality programs grow up. You've already met the cast, seen their home in Red Hook, and read all about our very own Billy Parker sending the show's first transgender into a blogging tizzy...so what's next? We've seen the first episode, which will air tomorrow, and here are a few "spoilers." First up: you'll know you're in Brooklyn when they start playing rap music and showing graffiti. Soon after that, Mormon roommate Chet refers to the borough as a place where you "don't want to end up" and worries about getting shot there (another spoiler alert: he doesn't). Later on the roommates will get some slices at L&B Spumoni Gardens, and ever further into the show there's some bonding over dinner at Elmo in Manhattan. Other than that, you'll hear things like how they like to sit out and look at the ocean from their Red Hook digs. By which they mean Buttermilk Channel or the Hudson Bay, of course. The NY Post has another look inside their temporary home, and the Daily News has a preview.

              

Yesterday we got a sneak peek into the Real World Brooklyn house out in Red Hook as well as introductions to each of the eight new cast members. As we mentioned, there were allusions to half the cast sticking around town (possibly for some sort of spin-off) in the Lower East Side and/or Stuy Town, using the Big Apple to springboard their careers.

                           

While 850 Viacom employees got laid off this morning, we were taking our first look inside the Red Hook house of the Real World Brooklyn cast! MTV gave big ups to the borough by adding a cast member this season for a total of eight good-looking 18 to 24-year-olds. There isn't one New Yorker in the bunch--but this season features the first transgender (and the token Mormon, Iraq vet and gay dolphin trainer, naturally). If you'd like to meet the cast up close and personal yourself, they'll be joining the producers of the show tomorrow night at The Paley Center for Media.
