The Real World rocks on.

Despite the rumors that had seven strangers bunking together in the suburbs of Detroit, producers of MTV’s The Real World have come to their senses and announced the 18th season will take place in Denver, Colorado, www.zap2it.com reports.

"Denver has absolutely everything we could hope for -- diversity, activities, energy and nightlife," Lois Curren, head of series entertainment at MTV, said in a statement. "We're sure that the character and spirit of this picturesque city will be endlessly compelling to the seven roommates and audience alike." Let’s hope so, because the most recent roomies in Key West are leaving quite a bit to be desired.

The Denver denizens will be housed in the trendy LoDo (Lower Downtown) area of the city, a region that’s known for it’s arts, restaurants and—shocker—lively bar scene. MTV has hinted that they will again try to force the roommates to live up to the lyrics of the show’s opening—"to live together and work together"—but have yet to announce what business they’ll inevitably botch.
Production will begin in Denver this spring. First arrest/threesome/nervous breakdown to follow shortly thereafter.
