The Real World: Cancun
 

Last night was the season premiere. Did anyone else watch it?

I've already decided I'm not a fan of Emilee from Boston. She got so defensive about Hooters and trying to defend it and its clientele. I have nothing against Hooters (I applied and was offered a job there several years ago, but my parents freaked out and refused to let me work there) but own up to it for what it is- a place guys go to look at girls in skimpy clothes. Who cares? Don't try to defend the place by saying you become "good friends" with the "lonely" men who come in and "just want someone to talk to." She's annoying already.

CJ- way to break up with the girl you said within the first 5 minutes of the show that you can "see yourself with for a long time." Who else knew that wouldn't last? He's pretty hot and has a great body, but I was NOT a fan of the cornrows he got. You're not a 14 year old girl on vacation, buddy.

My boyfriend and I counted how many times people made references to being "bffs", "connecting", and any other phrases that implied they were already extremely close after only a few days. We counted 17. I hate how every single cast member of every season does this. I'm sorry, but you don't become best friends with someone in a day! It just makes me that much happier when they're fighting with the person 2 episodes later.

again, WHY is this still on?

Seriously. I gave up on this show years ago. It's really not relevant anymore.

What?

They're living in freaking Cancun and calling it "The Real World"? You gotta be kidding me.

How "real" can it be in Cancun? That's just 5 months of spring break.

MTV ran out of places to go, among other things.

I know, right?

Even in other seasons, what's so "real" about getting free and unlimited drinks like every night, not having any real reponsibilities, and sleeping in a room with 3 other people? Not a whole lot.

Exactly.

Also, they're spring break reps for student city. I have a few friends who did this for various spring break companies in Cancun and Acapulco, and while they all had a blast, they each said that you aren't allowed to really be drunk with the spring breakers, and you can get in a lot of trouble if you're caught drinking with your groups of people. I wonder if they'll bend the rules for the MTV cast though.

Not to mention most of the cast members are at the age where they should be out of college (if they even went). I don't know about anyone else, but I'm 23 and would be really annoyed if I was at the bar and there were a bunch of sloppy 19 year old spring breakers crowding the place.

I actually watched last night. I hate when they show the preview for the rest of the season though, because that's what makes me want to watch. But then I get a headache about 3 episodes in and start missing them because I just don't care that much :p

I was originally glad to see that MA was well represented, but then saddened by the fact that Emilee seems to have a stick up her butt. As people have already said, YOU WORK AT HOOTERS. That's fine, but don't pretend that the old men are just lonely. They're lonely and horny. If they weren't, they'd make friends with the waitress at Applebee's wearing the pants and the button-down shirt up to her neck.

Hooray for one of my most pleasurable of guilty pleasures! This should hold me over until the Hills comes back in August. :)

I hate that girl with the weird ghetto name starting with an A.

LOL this show is so ridiculous! I never really watched, except for Denver (I think?) cause my dorm roommate did, and she always had it on, so I ended up catching a lot of it. I loved the part in the first episode or two, where Colie developed a crush on Alex like the first day, and Jen slept with him immediately even though she knew Colie liked him...and then Jen confesses to Colie about it and they cry and apologize and Jen says that Colie will be in her wedding...AFTER THEY'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER ABOUT 72 HOURS! :D

Yes, why IS this show still on?

Ayiiia. Yea, she's kind of crazy.

How do you pronounce that!?

I think it's pronounced A-yee-yah. Kind of like Aaliyah without the L.

There are just way too many vowels. And the triple I is kind of unnecessary.

Thats what threw me off. It looked like some kind of amazonian warcry.

ETA: I just realized the whole name is essentially vowels.

I tried to look up her name to see if there's a legit origin. LOL. Google just gives me Real World references.


ETA: I still haven't found what the name means, if anything. I found this. :p
"I knew I wanted to talk to one of the RW’ers from Cancun. Recently, I got my chance to chat with Ayiiia, a Latina sistah of Mexican extraction, who hails from Chula Vista, CA. Oh, by the way, that’s how sistah spells her name. Not a typo. And it’s pronounced I-EEE-A (as in “What you looking at?). The name, in my opinion, should be said with mad swagger, hands waiving in the air and acting like you just don’t care.
So, as you might suspect, I had ask her about her name. And the answer was pretty surprising. For the first three years of Ayiiia’s life, her name was Leticia. And one day, I guess out the blue really, her parents decided to change her name to Ayiiia, the name of of family friend she, to this day, has never met. Okay, trying to wrap my brain around that one."

I hate ghetto people who try to come up with unique sounding names for their children. If the name doesn't hold some kind of meaning, don't saddle it on the poor kid.

I will be the first to admit to anyone that the Real World has been a minor (ha) obsession of mine for as long as I can remember...
I'm pretty pumped for this season. My guesses for the season are that Joey will be injured by someone not in the house...like he'll talk about of crap to someone at a bar and they'll break his jaw or something...
Ayiiiiiiiia [thought I would throw some more i's in there, didn't think she had enough :rolleyes:] will get kicked off for violence towards another roommate...
and it's pretty inevitable that at least one roommate will be reprimanded for breaking Student City's list of employee rules [anyone have any guesses to share???]
OH, and really CJ and Jonna? I really want to punch that girl in the face every time she talks about how much she loves her boyfriend back home and how she tells him he shouldn't be worried about her cheating.....I hope he dumped her after the second episode aired.

[[so glad someone created this thread so that I could get all that out :)]]

Funny quote of the day:

Ayiiia in one of her moments: F*ck your shirt
Guy housemate: F*ck your ass

Ayiiia is a crazy b****.

That is all.

That should be a thread on it's own, haha. She is so annoying, I hope she leaves!

The Real World used to be so good. I blame the Hawaii cast for building the coffin, then the Las Vegas cast drove in the nails.

Jonna drives me crazy. I wish one of the roommates would take pictures of her cuddling sessions with CJ and show them to her boyfriend when he comes to visit. I've always thought there's something seriously wrong with girls who have no girl friends, and she's a prime example.

Ayiiia: go home. When will the RW creators realize the "fan picks" are a disaster??

I don't really like Jonne, but I don't blame her for avoiding the other girls. I'd do the exact same thing. And to be honest, they kind of pushed her out of their little clique, so I can understand why she's not close with them.

And this trend of the guys and girls hating each other is getting old.

just a question TPA85, because i'm a theta phi too...i heard that if a theta phi alpha was to ever be on a game show or reality show such as real world that they wouldn't be able to wear letters...one of my sisters has always wanted to be on the real world but apparently our nationals are more strict than others? i mean i totally understand the reasoning behind it because obviously no theta phi wants any reckless or inappropriate behavior reflected upon the organization, i was just wondering if there was in fact any truth in this?

I'm PMing you now :)
