Real World St. Thomas

The current season of The Real World was filmed in beautiful St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. While the show is full of the usual antics and predictability of youth it does have nice eye candy as well. It is also great to see the diversity of the island and some of the culture it offers. I'm already planning a vacation.

You may watch The Real World on Wednesday evenings on MTv. Airtime is 9 p.m. ET.
