First there was an "ex-plosion," then a few "skeletons" came out of the closet and now "Real World" is returning (on March 17) to Las Vegas (third time's the charm!) with a bang a brand-new twist. Drumroll, s'il vous plait...

The latest crop of seven strangers -- check out (from left to right) Sabrina, Chris, Kailah, Dean, Jenna, CeeJai and Dione in all their glory above -- will have to abide by the motto "go big or go home" as they live together in Downtown Sin City at the Gold Spike hotel for "a wild, adrenaline-filled season that will confront their hopes, fears and anxieties," MTV revealed. From the onset, the gang will be tasked with a series of challenging group or individual missions (from jumping out of a hot air balloon to performing at a strip club) but always abide by the same rule: If they can’t complete the mission, they are sent home and another roommate will take their spot. The roommates will be forced to face deeply emotional moments from their past -- all while accomplishing dreams they never thought possible.

Forget betting on red or black -- the stakes have never been higher in the Entertainment Capital of the World, and these folks will have to start getting real if they want to participate in this unique experience.

What do you think of the "Real World: Go Big or Go Home" format? Sound off in the comments, see more photos of the gang, stay with MTV News for more updates and be sure to catch the premiere on Thursday, March 17 at 10/9c!
