that doesn't justify Trisha saying those things if you're referring to the comment, and she is putting up with a lot, besides Trisha (think she's from San Diego), she's the only person from a major diverse city...the rest come from small towns and are very sheltered, that and she's the only cast member of color in a country not as diverse as many cities in the U.S. or elsewhere...it would be difficult to not get irritated then

I was talking more about her being judgmental about the debauchery going on.

Sloppy in what sense? I mean it was Trish who was complaining about having to do everyone else's dishes...and Parisa was acting like a bitch about it.

And at the end of the episode, Parisa and Kelly Anne had a mini-makeup session...not that I think it's going to be all rainbows and butterflies for the rest of the season because that would get BORING! I'm looking forward to the Cohutta and Big-Boob-Girl drama!! (Sorry--can't remember her name!)

Copycat girls?

LOL This has made my morning...Yes, I meant sloppy as in drunk.

Oh, my bad.

Still, though, if she didn't want to have to deal with drunk people then she really should have thought twice about applying to be on Real World...

Trisha is from Fresno. Shauvon is from Sacramento. Parisa is from New York. Isaac is from Cleveland. The other three are from the South.

Shauvon is bi. http://www.afterellen.com/taxonomy/term/2116
More surprising...she's Latina!

Ah so you ARE a copycat of them.

PS. In case you haven't opened your eyes to the REAL, actual world, people don't normally have to deal with drunk immature sluts as their roomates.


Ditto mu_agd.... I miss the old Real World.

unless they get stuck with crappy roommates through roommate matching. that description matches one of my last roommates to the T.

A copycat of whom? I have no idea what you're talking about.

And in case you haven't opened your eyes to the last eighteen seasons of the show, there is ALWAYS drunken debauchery because that is a large contributer to the ratings that MTV is going for from its target market for the show...most of whom are college students who get drunk.

I'm not as surprised that she's Latina as I was when I found out that Jen from Denver supposedly was :eek:..what ethnicity is Shauvon...I know plenty of Mexicans, Argentines, and Colombians who look like her

Were you even born when they first started airing Real World? It was doing pretty damn well before when they were dealing with REAL issues. All the debauchery started with Vegas. MAYBE with Hawaii, but there were still real issues then.

You and me both! I was very disappointed that there are no Australians in the cast. I think it worked much better when the casts were a mix of locals and out of towners. I liked it much better when they didn't all have the same job and had to do their own things. (IIRC, the applications from the earlier seasons asked why you wanted to go to whatever city they were filming in and what you planned to do there.) It wasn't all about drinking and hooking up with your roommates. Remember when the shower scene in RW Miami was actually shocking? When Amaya and Colin coupling up in Hawaii was a novelty because there'd never been a Real World couple during filming? Now if the housemates DON'T hook up with each other, it's a surprise.
(How scary is it that there are cast members from the first few seasons who are old enough to be the parents of current cast members? Makes me feel ancient!)

Okay, off soapbox. ;)

That said, I caught the first episode late last night. I liked Parisa the best of the girls, I'd have liked to see more of Cohutta (he's funny!) and I thought KellyAnne was super annoying.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Dunbar doesn't cheat on his girlfriend, but I know how unlikely that is. In previews for this week's episode, it looks like he's making out in bed with a blonde (Trisha or Shauvon?), but I'm not positive it's him. That poor girl back home, that must be SO HARD to have a boyfriend be on the show when you know what typically goes on each season.

So far, the girl I like best is Shauvon. While Trisha and KellyAnne seem like they're going to be annoying and catty, I think that also just reflects their ages (19 and 20). Parissa needs to loosen up.. going home on the first night out with all your roommates?? Ridiculous. KellyAnne made a good point about Parissa's snide "I don't want to baby-sit" remarks.. she went home early! So maybe getting falling-down drunk isn't the best first impression to make, but really, what do you expect from The Real World?

Dunbar is HOT and Isaac is hot in a bad-boy way.. Cuhotta, not so much.
