And besides that, they are all in safety harnesses -- not like she could have fallen to her death or something :rolleyes:

Oh man she was out of control with the screaming and horrifying faces she was making. OMG screaming and being a freak isn't going to make the water warmer, you stupid, stupid girl -- although I did love whatever she said about not being able to look at herself for five days OMGENDOFTHEWORLD. Also, I liked the previews for the next episode, which involves her "wiping herself in the middle of camp." OMG was she raised by wolves (NO OFFENSE TO WOLVES).

Also, I want to give her and especially Jenn a makeunder. Jenn's eyebrows are NEVER OKAY and seriously, just chill on the eye makeup, okay?

Our kitchen & living room are side-by-side so I was on the wall side of the kitchen working on my scrapbook (the same wall that the TV sits on in the LR) - DH was in there and I finally said "who the hell is giving birth on RW?" He laughed & said that she sounded worse than I did in my labor (LOL - I slept through my labor) -- it was the most awful noise.

I missed the part of wiping herself in camp - what happened?

I will also gladly help PAY for the makeunder for those two :D

That was just a preview for next week. The guy from Outward Bound asked her what she was doing. Pretty much they made it seem like she could get fired, but I don't know if anyone's ever been fired while "working" on the Real World.

Yes, remember Montana from Boston (?) was fired for giving the kids wine at an event...LOL

That was the funniest thing because she was so dumb for doing it.

There have been other seasons where the cast and cast members threatened to be fired. I liked it better when they didn't have the same job and being a cast member was just like having a room mate who you saw when you got home for work (like they did it in Season 1). That's the REAL WORLD.

I agree. MTV just wants to create as much drama as possible though.

Totally agree!

I also think that they go out of their way to find alcoholics or "alcoholics in training." I enjoyed RW more when it had a better mix of people.

I especially liked the New Orleans cast -- particularly watching the transformation of Julie-- the girl who was brought up in a strict Church of Latter Day Saints upbringing.

Watching sloppy drunks make fools of themselves doesn't interest me.

HAHA...it totally interests me, but I agree that some of the other casts had some more depth to them.

Yeah the first few seasons dealt with REAL issues because people didn't completely quit their lives to join the cast. Not saying these newer casts don't have family issues and so forth. It just used to be about so much more than who's a racist, who's gay, who's a kissing whore, who's an alcoholic, etc.

But that's also when RW and MTV had an older demographic of viewers. MTV's shows have changed to reach a different viewership. I miss being able to catch the first few seasons of RW on syndication. They used to come on Fox in the afternoon a few years ago.

It will never be the Real World it was in the first few years. Nothing is more real than Puck or Pedro and everything those shows. I almost wish another station like Lifetime would have a Real Life or something and bring back the days of Heather B, Julie, Pedro, and all the others members that I miss and actually LEARNED from.

They were less manufactured. They were great.

Puck was one of the original assholes and he was gross. He's married with kids and stuff now.

This year's cast is a little lack luster. But I'm convinced that Stephen (I hope that's the black guy that's not Tyrie) is gay. Why does Brooke have boy shorts on to go hiking on the next episode? "I thought they looked like shorts" That's classic


Tyrie.....sigh......mmm mmm mmm

Yes, Stephen is latently gay. I think that's why he's so against homosexuality.
