'Real World D.C.': MTV makes it official

After weeks of speculation, MTV made it official this afternoon: "The Real World" is filming its 23rd season in Washington this summer. The show will premiere in 2010, after the current season of "Real World: Cancun" fades into memory.

Eight young adults will move into a house at 20th and S streets near Dupont Circle, which is currently under construction, as it is transformed into a 24-hour TV set. In recent days, photos of the construction have been posted on several local blogs and Web sites.

"The charged atmosphere of Washington  D.C., the center of our country's social and political change, will provide an electric setting for this next season of ‘The Real World,’" said Tony DiSanto, MTV's president of programming. “We are thrilled to be filming our classic franchise in the heart of where history is being made ... it adds a whole new dimension to the great characters and drama our viewers expect and love from ‘The Real World.’"

Mayor Adrian Fenty even got in on the excitement, releasing this statement: “In a time when our country has witnessed the impact and spirit of our nation’s young people, it is a pleasure to welcome MTV and ‘The Real World’ cast to the District of Columbia as they utilize the immense opportunities that the District’s backdrop will undoubtedly provide."

Yeah this should definitely be interesting...I was born in DC and even though I live in MD now DC's still a home to me. I can't wait to see how the cast members adapt to the city...this will definitely be a good one.

AMERICA 1098, how could you make such accusations? i am a middle class american that actually contributes to society, not some lonely drunk that watches nascar and drinks sam adams all day, like you clearly are. i went to college while you went to the bar, so if you want to say one more negative thing about me then its on you idiot hillbilly

mochalatte is correct. i was way out of line with my comments and he called me on it. i do have one thing to say... MOHCALATTE IS NOT HUMAN. he is clearly an alien and anyone who makes contact with him is extruterstial. i may be a hillbilly but im proud of my hertige you yankee. iff you think it''s on then we;ll see what you have to say about this

i wont even justify that moronic statement with a response. america1509 is clearly on drugs and needes to be admitted into a mental hospital before he causes harm to any of the fellow residents of his backwoods trailor park.
