The NYPost published a very interesting article today. The castmembers moved out over the last two days and are currently in the middle of press week, so there will be lots of stories on the seven strangers over the next week. But the article does reveal some interesting tidbits about the new season.
MTV.com already confirmed that Willy was the gay castmember. But, The Real World will make history this season with two gay men on the show. (Chicago had two gay people, male and female.) However, you may seem to notice that the fact was left out of the MTV profiles, because the person "(as yet unidentified)... tackles coming out of the closet on the show."
This actually wouldn't be the first time someone "came out" on the show. If you remember way back when, five seasons ago in New Orleans, editors portrayed Danny as "straight" on the casting special. On the first episode, they made it seem like Danny "came out" in between the end of casting finals and the start of filming the show. (Viewers later found out that it was a ploy of producers and that Danny had came out before the casting of the show.)
There was speculation on The Real World Philly Boards that Karamo was gay and Sarah is quoted in the article as saying, "We have political debates, and there are issues of race and sexuality with two gay men in the house." She also comments on how all the castmembers are all over 21, five are all over 23. There is also talk about the fight involving Shavonda and Landon, a romance in the house, the set-up of the Seamen's Insitute, and how the cast got tattoos in Fiji. Check out the article here.
