The cast of The Real World: Brooklyn will living a suite life. And it'll be doing so in a $6 million, two-story penthouse perched high above downtown Brooklyn.

The art deco-era Belltel Lofts on Bridge St. has been named as the site of the MTV reality show's 21st season.

"We're excited," said David Bistricer, owner of the 27-story building that once held a telephone company but was converted to condos last year. Here's a look outside and inside the building:

Might Americans finally be tiring of reality TV?

The fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance debuted to 8.7 million viewers last week. While that's "up 59% over Fox's previous four-week Thursday night average," it's "down a slight 5% year-to-year," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Meanwhile, NBC's Last Comic Standing earned its lowest rating ever, with a mere 5.9 million viewers; American Gladiators' second season continued to plummet in viewership with just four million households tuned in.

Lastly, the paper notes that The Bachlorette 4's debut (with Deanna Pappas) "was down slightly from last year" with 8.8 million viewers; of course, the series hasn't actually aired in eight years, so we're not sure with what these figures are being compared.

It's probably for the best. We've already seen Audrina Patridge in all her naked glory before. Maybe you remember those scandalous photos?

Still, it's amazing to think how close we came to seeing The Hills star again when she mounted an SUV in Beverly Hills on yesterday.

Audrina Patridge nude? Not this time, fellas.
