This season’s reality show features seven diverse roommates, including a biracial girl, a bisexual guy, an anorexic, a Russian princess and a Latino guy involved in real-estate. With so many different backgrounds and behaviors, personalities are bound to clash. Besides featuring love quadrangles and alcoholism, the show deals with serious issues such as rape, relationships and eating disorders.

The show is back for its sixth season, with fresh drama and new, exciting challenges. The girls have been forced to pose on real ice, walk down the runway holding cockroaches, and strut their stuff in dangerously tall, chunky high heels. African-American model Danielle fell and sprained her ankles, and could only walk with the aid of crutches. A brawl between a biracial black girl and an insecure Asian lead to tension in the house. Who will win the modeling contract? A strong contender is the Nigerian Nnenna.

This new MTV reality series showcases the lives of models struggling to survive in the unpredictable business. Tough issues such as acne prevent the girls from attending go-sees and scoring jobs. Drama ensues between male and female models dating, and two twins work to differentiate themselves. One suffers from facial blemishes, a major setback. The agency owner appears to be afflicted with an addiction to plastic surgery, and her attitude is similarly hard-to-please and unreal.
