Last year, ELIXHER got the chance to chat with Saj Golde and Chanel Brown (stars of the second season of The Real L Word) about being the show’s first Black cast members and the media’s failure to represent of Black lesbian and bi women. (Read “The Real Saj Golde: The Reality Star Like You’ve Never Seen Her.”)

Women across the country were able to look past the reality show’s flaws. Well, some of us anyway. Their blatant exploitation of nudity. Steamy sex scenes. (No, we kind of liked those.) The lack of masculine-identified women. (Don’t you just love how they always manage to hide the butch lesbian in the back of all of high femmes in their promo photos?) We looked past all that to support a show that had lesbians who looked like us. Well, this season’s cast? Not so much.

Whitney, Romi, Sara, Kacy and Cori will be returning for a third round. New members of the lily-white cast include women from both L.A. and N.Y.C.

Will you be watching? (We’ve got our answer.)
