MTV Real World New Orleans 2010

The premiere of "Real World XXIV: New Orleans" didn't just hint at the drama to come this season; it ran in kicking and screaming.The roommates: The newest edition of MTV's "Real World" (official site) series began as they always do, introducing the eight new 20-somethings who will regale audiences with their roads to self-discovery.

We first met Ryan Knight, a recovering addict of prescription pain medication from Wisconsin. Jemmye Carroll, the typically atypical Southern girl from Mississippi, delighted roommate Preston Roberson-Charles, who bluntly stated Jemmye "definitely has a stripper look." McKenzie Coburn, the resident good-girl who loves to party, immediately claimed she blacks out easily when drinking. Ashlee Feldman, a pretty Bostonian by way of New Jersey, grabbed attention from the men in the house for her "Angelina Jolie lips." Eric Patrick, a comedian who also works for the State Department in foreign relations, developed an instant crush on Sahar Dika. Dika, however, revealed she met a love interest before coming to New Orleans. Lastly, but definitely not least, we had Ryan Leslie, an emotionally over-active hairdresser from Arizona.
