Episode 1
MJ from Nashville is the cute all-American football player. Melanie is the girl who always has the boyfriend, but wants to find her independence. Karamo is a buff guys' guy from Houston. Sarah, the redhead from Tampa, FL likes a sexual relationship without the emotions. Landon from River Falls, Wisconsin, claims to get a little crazy sometimes and he dubs himself as "off the hook." Shavonda from San Diego works at Hooters and is in an interracial relationship. Willie from New York City is gay and hopes to find a hot, fantastic, fabulous, sexy relationship while in Philly. Take these seven completely different people, add cheese steak, a gigantic house, and two hot tubs and you've got the 15th season of The Real World.
MJ and Landon meet first and they are wearing the same pair of shorts and both have curly hair. Too cute. MJ explains he left a girl back home, while Landon just got out of a seven year relationship. When the boys meet up with Shavonda, she notes that it looks like the boys just stepped out of an Abercrombie ad. As the boys get to know Shavonda, they notice she is making it really clear that she has a boyfriend back home.
Meanwhile, Sarah admits her nervousness about the experience to Willie when she meets up with him. Willie tells her that he's currently a personal shopper, but wants to create and direct Broadway shows. Because she seems "mad cool," Willie makes a pack with Sarah that if everyone in the house is lame, he's got her back and she's got his.
Landon, Shavonda and MJ arrive at the house first and cannot believe their new pad. It has a giant tree in the middle of the house for Pete's sake! Sarah and Willie arrive and take a tour of their new palace. Sarah narrates that MJ has one of the best bodies she has ever seen. While these five get their drink on, Karamo and Melanie meet at the top of the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. When the last two arrive at the house, they, too, are stunned by its magnificence.
Sarah tells her roommates that she likes to walk around naked and within moments she removes her bra underneath her tank top. "Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be sexy," Sarah purrs. Sarah announces that she's had a breast enhancement and invites her roommates to cop a feel, but Landon gets a little nervous and knocks over a painting as he backs away from her breasts.
The first night out, MJ explains that he hasn't hung out with many gay people, but he respects Willie. While at the bar, in a shocking turn of events, guys' guy Karamo comes out to Shavonda. Her jaw drops and she feels burdened by this secret she now must keep.

Episode 2
The new roommates head straight to the hot tub when they return home from the club and Sarah flirts with MJ, while MJ looks slightly uncomfortable. Sarah explains she thinks like a guy and wants sex without the emotional ties.
Outside, Willie tells Melanie that he thinks there is a possibility that Karamo is gay, but he's not sure. Karamo narrates that he doesn't feel the need to come out to everyone just yet. MJ narrates he is very intuitive and would be able to tell if he was living with someone who was gay.
MJ and Sarah stay up late talking and flirting. MJ explains he only likes blondes, not redheads, but admits Sarah is hot. "If there is a blonde girl in the room, I will probably approach them, even if they are really not that pretty," MJ narrates. Now MJ is a challenge and it's game-on for Sarah.
Karamo talks to a friend back home and tells him that he is afraid MJ and Landon will turn on him when they find out he is gay.
Landon and Shavonda look at pictures of MJ and Ashley and make fun of the fact that she is scrapbooking after only two months with him. Shavonda describes MJ's relationship back home as a "kinda-sorta."
The second night out, Willie decides he wants to go to a gay club, so the girls go with him and MJ, Landon and Karamo go have a drink at another club. When MJ asks the guys if they would be comfortable going to a gay bar, Karamo finally reveals that he is gay and the Abercrombie twins are shocked. MJ narrates that Karamo has really blown any stereotype he had out of the water. "If Landon comes out, I’m going to lose my mind," MJ teases.
On their third night out, the group goes to a gay bar called Shampoo. After MJ is sittin' pretty with a few drinks in him, he tells Willie that this is the most fun he has ever had. Willie appreciates the compliment and says that if MJ wasn't having fun, he would leave with him.
At the club, Sarah presses MJ to explain the situation with his "girlfriend." She does her best flirting, but he rebuffs her advances. But it seems clear that there is an attraction. Who knows what will happen while seven strangers get to know each other in Philly?

Episode 3
Sarah feels comforted when she is around MJ and as the both walk home from the gym, she grabs his hand. MJ definitely thinks Sarah is hot, but is confused about what she wants from him.
Meanwhile, Shavonda already has a crush on Landon. She doesn't want to disrespect her boyfriend, but admits she'd totally go after Landon if she wasn't in a relationship. Landon even admits to crushing on Shavonda. This could get mighty interesting.
Via phone, Shavonda tells her boyfriend she is worried that she might do something he might not approve of. He's like, uh...as long as you don't hook up with someone, we're cool, babe. That isn't good enough for Shavonda so she comes up with the brilliant idea that they should take a relationship break. But they are already apart, isn't that enough of a "break," he wonders. Shavonda narrates that she'd like to "date around" while she is in Philly and then she’ll know if she and Shawn are meant to be together.
After she gets off the phone, Shavonda tells MJ that she and the boyfriend just had a fight...MJ understands her situation since he has someone back home too, but explains that if he thinks he's going to do something to compromise the relationship, he will tell his girlfriend first and break it off.
The AC broke in the house and this is the perfect opportunity for Sarah to hop into MJ's bed because he has the coolest room in the house, while Shavonda takes the opportunity to crawl into bed with Landon. Karamo, the voice of reason, says that "sleeping in another man's bed [while in a relationship], is never cool, whether it's sexual or not."
In the morning, Sarah alludes to the fact that she and MJ kissed that night, but MJ uses the stock "I don't remember" as his response to her allegation.
MJ narrates that cheating is something he doesn't do and doesn't want to do, but he realizes that he doesn't want to "walk on eggshells" the whole time he is in Philly just because he has a two month kinda-sorta relationship back home. He decides to tell Ashleigh that their timing isn't right and they should probably break up for now. Ashleigh takes the news well. Landon predicts that a newly single MJ will dabble "with the roommates"...
...but not before he dabbles with the hot blonde girls at the club. That night, MJ flirts with all the blond girls in da club, while Sarah watches in the wings. After a few drinks, Sarah becomes furious when MJ asked her what the house phone number is so he could give it to a blonde girl. Sarah decides to head home while MJ smooches the blonde girl at the club. "I just needed somebody to cuddle with; that's all I want," Sarah moans innocently.
When MJ comes home, Sarah reads him the riot act. "She was chubby and she had bad roots," Sarah says about the blonde girl. When MJ and Sarah actually sit down and talk, MJ explains that he and Sarah didn't "hook up," they just kissed and it was one of them there friendly kisses. "I want you and it hurts me to see you wanting to get ass in another place." Sarah says sweetly. Sarah clarifies that she doesn't have boyfriend/girlfriend feelings for him; it's just purely sexual. MJ does not know what to do with this info, but reminds Sarah that he just broke up with a girlfriend.
In the meantime, Landon runs around the house like a drunken teenager and Shavonda does not have any tolerance for his wacky antics. She doesn't even think it's cute when he tries to hit on her by asking her if she's hungry. But that's okay, because he heads straight for the confessional and declares his love for her there.
"I could rock your world," Sarah says as she continues to pursue MJ. MJ narrates that Sarah puts him in situations that are very sexual and it’s human nature that he's going to respond.
