Nehemiah, Rachel, Danny, Melinda, Lacey, Wes, and Johanna are the Real World Austin

The Real World XVI: Austin


Front from left: Nehemiah, Rachel, Danny and Melinda. Back from left: Lacey, Wes and Johanna.

Rachel, 22, California

An Iraq veteran who joined the Army as a combat nurse and served four years. She has a boyfriend she met in Iraq, but will she stray?

Johanna, 21, California

Gorgeous Peruvian American who wants to be a clinical therapist. She's spunky and sweet but a mean-tempered drunk. Deferred acceptance to Columbia University for grad school.

Wes, 20, Kansas

A junior at Arizona State University, he's a frat-house guy who parties hearty and likes to flirt. He had a reputation on Sixth Street early on.

Danny, 21, Massachusetts

Outgoing Bostonian who left home to 'stretch his wings.' He's working for his father's construction company but wants to be a lawyer. Loves Austin and hates to leave.

Lacey, 23, Florida

Unique, and not just for her short hair and virgin status. Born to ex-hippie parents who turned religious, the hairdresser was sheltered from pop culture but adapted to life with her much wilder housemates.

Nehemiah, 19, Arizona

Born to a drug-addicted mom and forced to grow up quickly. Quiet but determined. Studied film production in college and wants to direct music videos. The least in love with Austin.

Melinda, 21, Wisconsin

Waitress and aspiring dentist. A model-gorgeous flirt who is willing to try anything once. Also smart and funny, she could be a star.

Filming of the Real World Austin will wrap up this week

It's almost time to indulge yourself in the drinking, hook ups, and fights of the new season of the Real World. Filming of the Austin season is wrapping up this week and will premiere on June 21. A trip to Costa Rica and the making of a documentary about the South by Southwest Festival are among the highlights of this season. Get the low down on the cast and the house here.

Old School versus New School may be based on age not Challenge appearances

There are rumors flying around that the new challenge, Old School vs. New School, will be based on age not on how many challenges someone has been on or when their show aired. Check back for more updates.

The Austin cast is profiled in Austin Magazine which is replicated here online

Props go out to RealWorldAustin.com, who replicated an article in AUSTIN magazine which has photos and bios of the new season. Check out the thread here. The seven roommates set to join Real World alumni are:

Melinda, 21-year-old beauty from the midwest, an ugly duckling turned swan and aspiring dentist. She says she will try anything once.

Rachel, a sexy and libidinous Iraqi war veteran, age 21, from Philadelphia. Will she remain loyal to her boyfriend?

Johanna, 21, a stunnin, highly motivated and fiery Peruvian who moved to the US when she was 13. Does she know how to get whatever she wants?

Lacey, an anachronism, was sheltered from television, moves, music, and dancing while growing up in Florida. What will she think of Austin?

Nehemiah, a charismatic graduate from the school of hard knocks, seeks friends and a better life. Can The Real World help him?

Wes, age 20, frat boy, jock, super competitive, bright guy with an entrepreneurial furture. Will this be the guy we love to hate?

Danny, die-hard Bostonian, sensitive and himble, isn't sure he wants to ever leave home. Bet we change his mind!

The site actually has had names and pictures of the cast for a while now. But this is the first time an actual publication recognizes the cast by their names. Welcome Melinda, Rachel, Johanna, Lacey, Nehmeiah, Wes and Danny to The Real World!
