The cast for the latest in MTV's Real World series, set in New York, have been revealed.

The tenth season premieres next Tuesday (July 3), and whilst the final seven participants have not yet been officially disclosed, Zap2it has revealed their identities.



Coral



An outspoken 22-year-old from the San Francisco Bay Area who has experienced both privilege and poverty. Coral lived with her mother in government subsidized housing while attending an elite school, funded by her father's savings.



Kevin



Think of this 22-year-old as the wise-beyond-his-years, and not nearly the hick they want you to think from Austin, TX. Kevin was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the beginning of his senior year of high school, leading him to get a little perspective on the meaning of life.



Lori



A 21-year old from Roseland, NJ, Lori is the youngest of three daughters. Although the aspiring singer had a boyfriend in the casting special, which didn't stop her from flirting with Kevin, by the time she gets to New York she's free and single.



Malik



A DJ from Berkeley, CA, Malik is the bi-racial son of a white mother and a black father. He's the first person in his family, and the only one among his friends, to attend college at the University of California Berkeley.



Mike



A 19-year-old from Parma, OH, Mike is your stereotypical all-American frat boy. Mike gets things off to a boiling start by calling African Americans "slow" and "uneducated" in the first episode in front of two of the show's black cast members. An only child of divorced parents, Mike found a sense of family in his college fraternity, according to the show's notes.



Nicole



A 22-year-old from a suburb of Cleveland, Nicole grew up watching her mother suffer through a long abusive relationship. An "A" -student from Morris Brown University, Nicole is also of mixed racial parentage, but mostly identifies with her African American roots.



Rachel



An 18-year-old from the Chicago environs, Rachel is billed as the "wide eyed, bubby, vivacious" innocent about to discover the wild ways of the big city. In reality, she comes across like the puppy dog that follows you everywhere you go, with an annoying habit of talking by only moving her bottom jaw.
