Real World Chicago (cont'd)
 

I saw that the Real World Chicago board was closed...So, I thought that I would start it up again...

Anyway, I was on MTV's site and I came across this article that Walla Walla wrote:

http://www.mtv.com/onair/realworld/s...alksback.jhtml

Is it just me, or is she asking for money without "asking for money"???

ATTENTION!!!

I've got an outstanding medical bill as well so I am not asking for money, but if you want to donate please email me ;)

Skip her! Walla Walla still needs to grow up. That's what I got from reading her letter. And someone correct me, but I thought they got paid to be on that show! :confused: Where's that money? Maybe she should have saved her money instead of spending $5,000 on some new boobs (unless she's paying on them every month - boobs on layaway ).

Hold up.. rewind!!!

I don't frequent the Real World website... but are you serious... she got new boobs?

Honeykiss... please clean out your inbox i'm trying to hit you.

Its clean!!:D

Heck yeah she got a boob job.

Taken from the cast talks back:

This girl makes me ill. :rolleyes:

Now i really don't feel bad for her
 

walla walla is priceless. she's got some nerve to blow up her "illness" like it's leukemia. I know people who have had kidney infections/stones... i know someone who has had a kidney transplant. They have never whined and talked about their dr. bills as much as she has. Then to turn around and semi-ask for contributions to "her" cause. I didn't see anyone running to give me minimum payments after i blew the strip off my credit cards and then got into a tight spot. priorities!?

Here's a suggestion... she needs to start putting her boobs to work. I'm sure walla walla has clubs where she can shake a tail-feather for some loose change.. LOL :D

I just cannot STAND Walla Walal!! She spent all that wasted space saying she wasn't a racist (or should I say bigoted), homophobic, kid-hating, attention-grabbing, (NOW MONEY GRABBING) selfish,fake-azz whench. When we all KNOW ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!

Now we are supposed to believe that people are clamoring and HARRASSING MTV to pay her doctor bills!!! PULEEZE!!
She says there are tons of worthy charities to donate to, but I didn't hear her suggest EVEN ONE!! But she managed to close with HER E-MAIL address for those who are "serious about helping her with her medical bills"!!!

That girl needs to get a grip!! AND STAY THE HELL IN WALLA WALLA, where her obvious fantasy world is!!!

If we're talking about spraying Kizzy from "Hip Hop Groupies" with "b*tch be gone" can we send a little WALLA WALLA'S way!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Devil's Advocate
 

Here I am to save the day! Well, not really, but I want to speak out for Tonya. Believe me, I don't care for her too much myself, but there is sort of a method to her madness. She is like the students that I teach. She has to display attention seeking behaviors in order to make up for her past. When people do not get the attention they deserve when they are kids from "parents," they seek other avenues to get what is missing. They also create worlds in which they MUST be the center of attention.

If you read the article, you'll notice that she KNEW that she was sick when she went on the show. Why risk your health and life to be on a TV show that you know is going to put a lot of stress on you? BECAUSE she knew that she could get attention and sympathy from MILLIONS of people. Ever notice that there is NEVER an episode that she is not on? When Keri went home for the weekend, we didn't see her. When Kyle went home for the weekend, we barely saw him. We ALWAYS see Tonya.

That's why she clings to Justin. That's why she has to talk to him 24/7. If she doesn't feel that she has him completely, she will begin to feel that lose all over again. She also seeks out sympathy and is overly dramatic with her illness. We, as humans, have a natural tendency to reach out to those in need. She milks her roommates (and us) for that attention. On the same token, as humans, we have the tendency to take advantage of things. Tonya takes advantage and that causes her to be hated.

I actually feel sorry for her because I don't know what it feels like to not have parents, as do most of us. I am the only child, so I had all the attention that I needed and then some. Tonya can be really cool, but she just has to realize that the world does not revolve around her.

Aneesa
 

I had to come right back and drop a dime on Aneesa. I can't stand her! Believe me, I am ALWAYS down for the sista or brotha on any show. I started out in Aneesa's corner. However, as the days pass, she is starting to make me sick.

It may just be me, but I have to agree with Tonya on the fact that Aneesa needs to wear clothes. My mother taught me to be comfortable with my body and all that, but I would NEVER walk around a house with all my "stuff" hanging out. I don't care how comfortable I am with my body, roommates, etc. She also went way off the deep end with that "slow" comment. Must have some deep seeded memories with that word....

There is so much that I can say about her, but I am too tired to keep going. I'm going to sleep. I'll pick up tomorrow. Feel free to add comments! G'night!:D

I agree with you about Miss Aneesa....

It's great that she's comfortable with her body and all...but just because she's comfortable showing it doesn't mean others are comfortable seeing it.

Don't even get me started on her sitting on the toilet with the door open providing nasty crotch shots to her roomies and the camera...that is just wrong and unnecessary!

Did you see the second episode when she got in the shower w/ Theo? What kind of mess was that??? Knowing full well that he was attracted to her...Puhleeze!!! I would have told her Snuffleupagus behind to wait her turn!!! (I know that's mean...but that's who she reminds me of. I'm just being true to myself.):D

You know...I wasn't sure about Theo at first...He does have some messed up views...But, when he wears his glasses that young man is downright sexy.

I don't think that they get paid to be on the show. From my understanding, all of their living expenses (rent, food, phone) are taken care of but the other stuff, like clothes, are on them. I think it's been like that since the beginning because I remember that quite a few cast members, like Kevin and Tammy, still had to work. Actually, Kevin still had his own New York apartment that he had to pay the rent at.

Moving on

Aneesa is starting to get down right triflin. Who in the H-E-Double hockey sticks wants to talk to you while your "wiping you azz" Whatever you have to say can wait until you finish you business and wash your hands. That's just nasty. I agree with Tonya (did I just say that I agree with Walla Walla? :eek: ) that she needs to put some clothes on. Just because you're comfortable with your body doesn't mean that everybody else is. Why do you think that there are laws forbidding public nudity? Because Aneesa, although you are comfortable with your body, society isn't therefore we don't want to see you naked. Thanks.

I agree with RedifinedDiva to a certain extent. But if you can make a case for Tonya and her behavior… IMO, you can do the same for Aneesa. I think her displays of nudity camouflaged as “being comfortable with her body” is a ploy for attention just like Tonya and her illness. It is unfortunate that Tonya is/was sick, has significant doctor bills, grew up in foster care, has no family to rely on… etc. BUT she has a well-off boyfriend that caters to her needs (as far as I can tell), had the means to get fake boobs, and is now a semi-celeb from this show... hence i don't feel sorry for her.

I don’t know Aneesa's story… so maybe someone can help me out. But where is her father for starters, how did her mom/family take the fact that she’s a lesbian, what internal struggles did she go through before she admitted that she liked girls? Obviously she wanted and liked the attention from Theo although she said she doesn’t like boys. And Aneesa's relationship with that girl!??!?! IMO, it was all about the attention.

Where's the discussion about Kyle and Kerri? Does anyone have an opinion on them, rather him?

Kerri has been getting played since the show started and I'm happy that now she can see that for herself. Kyle has been playing her like a game of checkers and everybody knew but her. He only wanted her when his girlfriend didn't want him. But, really, I can't blame him. She let him do and as the saying goes "a man will only do to you what you let him do."

I was glad to see that she was going out with Cara and trying to make some male friends of her own. But,, I swear that her blind date looked just like the big guy Lump from the Goonies. When he walked in, I just wanted to yell "Hey you guys!"

And, Kerri was trying way too hard to make Kyle jealous at the end of the show. I don't think she even liked that guy she met at the club. She just brought him home so guy could hump on him while Kyle was close by.

I don't like Cara. She tried to step up to Kyle even though he and Kerri had "whatever" it was going on....BOOOOOO!

Kyle needs to get a life!! He has been playing Keri from the jump. He knew that he would always have the "hots" for Nicole and that he would never be able to commit himself to Keri. Cara, whom I CAN NOT STAND, reminds me of Justin (the blond gay one) from RW Hawaii. Like Justin, Cara has placed little inklings in the minds of those that are easy to manipulation. Cara has been buzzing around Kyle since she got there. She wants him for herself. She admitted that.

Keri needs to run FAST away from those yahoos and meet some guys that worthy of her attention. She seems like a cool person.

I see I missed a good episode on Tuesday. I'm going to have to try and catch the rerun.

Ya think? I thought she liked him... she was kissing on him at that club! that may not mean anything but Keri doesn't strike me as the type.

i think Keri has been hanging around pretty much waiting on Kyle to "make a decision" that he's not going to make. And all that "after i go out... he comes in my room and makes out with me"... Boo-boo, don't play victim.

i really lost a lot of respect for Kyle this last episode when he was telling his friends that Keri tags along and made her seem pathetic. She is to a certain extent... but he totally leads her on.

HC Tonya sat up there on the phone and went down the line talking MESS about everyone in the house while they were all out of town?

HC they got her a$$ on tape.
HC she must have figured that since everyone was gone no one would have been taping her while she was there alone.
HC I hope that they show that tape to everyone in the house.
HC I imagine that she said a lot more than was actually shown.
HC I would not be surprised if she had thrown in some "N" words about Theo and Aneesa.
HC when they all got home Tonya was still on the dang phone.

HC Kyle is WHACK!
HC he reminds me of every last one of the white boys that I went to prep school with.

HC the previews of next week's episode show that Tonya's boyfriend comes to her rescue and gets up in Theo's face.
HC the previews also show Kyle saying that he would have to pull Justin off of Theo if they start fighting.
HC Kyle....dumb a$$.
HC that would be the other way around.

HC I love reality TV.
HC Big Brother hasn't shown any new episodes.
HC I have an idea for an Ebony Mag cover story.
HC they could do a cover story about all of "us" on the various reality TV shows.
HC it would be something interesting compared to all of their regular boring mess.

HC this isn't the HC thread.
HC I just did all of this post as HC's?

Even though I've been a die-hard Real World fan from the first season, I have to admit that it is really hard for me to sit through the Chicago one. I mean these people are getting on my last nerve!! How many episodes are left anyway? Does anyone know where the next Real World is going to be located? Maybe MTV can find some better folks :(

I think they finished up the new season not too long ago in Las Vegas.

HC that chit was soooo funny?
HC Aneesa was going off about Tanya, while some of the others were trying to "stick up for her" while Tanya, was dissing ALL of them?
HC that's some serious azz mess?
HC why in the hell is Tanya on there?
HC she has plastic surgery done, but can't pay her medical bills?
HC she should have taken that money and gotten some BETTER health insurance?
:rolleyes:
HC Kyle could be "suspect" if you know what I mean?
HC a REAL man would stop a fight if he had too or even get involved if he had too?
HC they could let Justin come in there and throw his freakin weight around?
HC that's THEIR home, boyfriend or not, if one of their own is in trouble, then they should step in to help?
HC Theo better not punk out?
HC bs...drama?
HC that could not have been the ORIGINAL RW CAST?
HC Tanya stays on the dayum phone all the freaking time?
HC she ought to have a cord growing out of her azz?

HC Cara's ex/bf has a great tan, or is it a tan? :confused:

Hi everyone. This is my first post. But I watch Real World and I thought it was funny how Anessa said Tonya was going to be on the phone and she was. Who pays her phone bills? LOL

Welcome to GC, Pepsichick. :)

Anyway, I was wondering this too. This girl must have some SERIOUS phone cards because I've never seen her on a cell and I doubt MTV is paying for unlimited long distance. But Justin seems like the type that might just call HER azz all the time anyways. I enjoy conversation with my boyfriend too... but I can only talk on the phone so much. When all you have left to talk about are the negative character traits of all SIX of your roommates, you have talked TOO MUCH. :rolleyes:

SweetestDiva - Thanks for that bit of information :) . I just hope that I will be able to tolerate the next season.

you and me both. I have NO INTEREST in watching these people.

The Sept. 11th episode came on today and it just made me nauseous. THey are SO FAKE.

And I don't know who said it, but I am in complete agreement about Kyle- he reminds me of every white-hat-overprivileged-cum-spoiled-rotten-prep-boy that I ever met through 13 years of prep school.

Obviously they don't consider Theo one of their own. Big surprise.

HC I was wondering the same thing. Plastic boobies don't come cheap and I know that you can put them on lay-away or a payment plan, but still. If you are so sick, then you should be more worried about your "kidneys" than your breasts.

Girl, 2D, you must be reading my mind tonight. For real though, Theo wasn't telling anything but the honest truth. Tonya does exaggerate her sickness when it's convenient. As soon as the people in the house move on to more interesting subjects, here she goes with the tears. She is such a baby!!! Ugh! As soon as someone starts giving it to her "realler" (I think I just made that up) she goes and calls her boyfriend.

If I was Theo, I wouldn't even talk to him about it. It's not his place to say anything. I know he's standing up for his woman but still. She came on the RW to deal with real people and solve her own real problems, not call for reinforcements from Walla-Walla when the going gets tough. I just don't like this girl.

Why didn't Tonya go to Cara's home? To stay on the phone?
HC Tonya should have gotten a Kidney TRANSPLANT instead of the boob job? :rolleyes:

You hit the nail on the head! This is why I have absolutely no sympothy for her as far as her struggling to pay her bills. I was feeling her about the kidney stones and what not. But you added on a procedure that you didn't NEED? And now you wanna cry about you don't have the money to pay for it? Then yo a$$ should have stayed flat chested and bought a miracle bra from Vicki's Secret! She get's no love from me.

I know that I stuck up for Tonya before, but DAMN! She was straight up dissin' EVERYBODY! who does she think she is? And I wish Justin would try to flex on Theo! Kyle is talking about pulling Justin off of Theo.... WTF? Try stopping Theo from giving Justin a azz whipping that all of our ancestors would be proud of!

And who is this flake Jared? My bad, but I don't see ANYTHING about Cara that would reduce a man to wanting to commit suicide if she broke up with them. :confused:

And I would have to agree with AKA2D. Tonya would NOT have made it 24 hours with the ORIGINAL RW cast. She may "pretend" to be scared of Theo (and all Black males for that matter), but I know that Kevin would have had a field day breaking her down just like he had to break Julie down. And, PLEASE, let's not EVEN think of how it would go down if HEATHER B. was all up in her face! :D

y'all i missed it last night. someone please tell me what went down so i can be prepared for the re-run.

Tonya is a SKANK! What's up with this "Darren" dude that supposedly handles her financial matters. She called him and asked him to put $140 in her bank account so that her phone wouldn't be turned off. She was trying to sound all "sickly" and needy on the phone with him and said that she was staying in the house "all alone" while the roomates were in Boston. In the meantime, Justin was there and she was about to get her freak on with him. Then, she freaked Justin the whole weekend...but of course, she couldn't go to Boston...doctor's orders!

Justin is STUPID. He was upset with Tonya because apparently she spends a lot of time on the phone with "Darren"...but she says he's a "father figure"...OK...(hearing the Biz Markie song "But you say he's just a friend..."). Wake up Justin...of course she's giving up some booty to this guy who sends her money all the time. He's probably her PIMP. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we found out that Tonya was a call girl back in Walla Walla! Then...what's up with her laying in the bed and sobbing about Theo. Justin is even more stupid for trying to confront Theo.

Theo handled it well. I liked his way of going about telling Justin what was up. I also give mad props to Theo for going to Chris' party with all those gay people. I was LMAO when he was at that party and gay men were coming up to him. Theo was like "yeah...I'm here with my boy Chris...don't get it twisted...I don't get down like that.

Ok why was I looking at this last night going no this tramp is not sounding like she is at deaths door with this Darren guy. Then I was like who is this Darren guy, then I was like why she lying that she is there by herself.

Justin knows that something is up with Walla Walla and Darren, that is why he deleted that email that he(Darren) sent her. Did you see when she called him on it and he was like well I have asked you over and over who this guy is but you can't really give me a good explanation. Hell yeah you know that she is giving it up to this Darren guy. Why else is he giving her money. Now I thought Justin was suppose to have money, so why doesn't she just ask him.

I hate to say it, but I was LMAO when they were in the van and Tonya was telling them to make Theo stop talking to her like that. I mean I almost fell off the bed laughing. Theo is so straight up that it's not funny.

I agree that I think Theo handled that situation with Justin so well, and I like that he said that if someone asked him if he knew any gay men, he would be like yeah, my boy Chris. Theo has come a long way with that.

Why is Tanya still on the show? MTV paid for her to screw Justin. Theo called it just like it was. She didn't go to St. Louis, she didn't go to Boston. I wonder, since this is airing if Justin and Tanya are still together? They never showed her azz working AT ALL, so much for the MEDICAL BILLS...:rolleyes:

See, she can get away with it...if you know what I mean.. ;)

Can Walla Walla be this DUMB?!!
 

No wonder some don't know which way is up

June 5, 2002

BY RICHARD ROEPER SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

Longtime friends of mine will vouch for the fact that whenever I roam the streets of Chicago, I become Directions Guy. Spend any amount of time in my company and it won't be long before a group of explorers--maybe they'll be from Hamburg, maybe they'll be from Pittsburgh, maybe they'll be from Schaumburg--are asking if I can point them toward Wrigley Field or State and Madison or Navy Pier.

Once, a fair lass in a college letterman's jacket was standing directly in front of Niketown when she asked me if I knew where Niketown was. I instructed her to close her eyes and click her gym shoes together three times, and then told her to open her eyes and turn around. Ta da!

But even if someone is trying to get to a place that's miles away and will require a series of elaborate directions that would crash MapQuest, I'm happy to provide any assistance I can, up to and including getting into the car, taking over the wheel and leading the group in a singalong of "Can't Get There From Here" by R.E.M.

That's because I've got that manly thing of never admitting I can't get from here to there, whether I'm driving or I'm giving someone else directions. It's a particular point of pride for me because while I can still do multiplication tables on a "Rainman" level and my Phonics are solid, I was never geographically inclined, and it's taken me years of living within the city proper to gain a good working grasp of most of Chicago's better-traveled neighborhoods and streets. (If you think you know the city better than I do--you probably do. I concede.)

The northern portions of Chicago were especially tough for me to learn, because when I was growing up in the south suburbs, we thought a trip north meant a drive to Comiskey Park. I saw the inside of Yankee Stadium before I ever set foot in Thillens Stadium.

When I travel, for some reason I immediately cease to become Directions Guy in the eyes of others, and thank God, because I have to visit a city between four and six times before I have a clue--and that's only after I study maps and ask questions and take notes if necessary.

But at least I try, and I've always tried. I knew where Vietnam was when I was a little kid and neighbors were being sent over there, and I could have found Ireland on a globe when the globe was bigger than me. I think it's important to have some sense of the planet, if only to figure out where Matt Lauer's hiding or to avoid sounding like an amazing moron.

For example, Tonya from "The Real World: Chicago."

*******

Fans of the MTV show will recall that Tonya was the drama queen from Walla Walla, Wash., who had a tendency to misuse words, e.g., "Those jeans are so kosher!" and prattle on about her beloved boyfriend Justin and her kidney stones, not necessarily in that order.

On the new DVD titled "The Real World You Never Saw," Kyle tells of a conversation with Tonya before the cast gathered in Chicago:

"She looked at the United States map, and first of all, she couldn't tell me where Chicago was located. [So] I decided . . . to have a little fun with Tonya, so I'm like, 'Tonya, it's right there,' and she was like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe it's that far south,' and I'm pointing to southwestern Texas, which she completely believes is Chicago. She [says], 'Hey, let's go to Mexico, we're so close, let's just walk over there.' "

Lest you think Kyle's exaggerating, we also see a clip of Tonya in a car in Chicago, trying to find North Avenue and patiently explaining to Cara that no matter which way she's facing, north is in front of her, south is behind her, east is to the right and west is to the left.

As Cara looks on incredulously, Tonya says, "Have you ever seen the compass?" and explains that "North, south, east [and] west" all depend on which way she's facing.

You wonder if the girl can find her rear end with her own two hands.

That's right up there with the conversation between two guys from New York and a young woman from Oregon on the recent ABC mini-series "The Hamptons," with one guy saying, "She's from Iowa, or Idaho, or Kansas," and the other chiming in, "Anything west of the Hudson, I don't know about."

Little wonder that Anne "The Weakest Link" Robinson recently dissed us by saying, "Americans are very poor on literature and politics and geography. They don't know anywhere outside Idaho."

Unfortunately, we're always hearing about studies that back up Robinson's claim. Forty-three percent of Americans can't find their home state on a map, 39 percent don't know whether Michigan is north of Louisiana, 26 percent think Texas is a country, 14 percent believe the moon is the 51st state, stuff like that.

And forget about foreign lands. The U.S. has to deploy troops to a distant locale before half of its citizenry will scramble to find that country on a map or a globe. (The other half doesn't have a map or a globe.)

As I said, I'm no geography major, but there's something depressing about so many people who live their entire lives without having the faintest understanding of where they're at, where they're going or where they've been.

E-mail: rroeper@suntimes.com

ok...why was I crackingup at the little "Walla Walla" song that Kyle, Anessa and Carrie were singing in the van? It's a shame that a RW space was wasted on Tonya!!!!!

I agree. The song in the van was not only funny but creative also. It shows how the other roomates have bonded with each other and can have a good time. Walla Walla needs to go back home.

Why would she apply to be on the Real World if all she wants to do is be with Justin? She could do that at home and made space for someone who really wanted to be there!

Did anybody else peep how Tonya said that she's "not gonna live with a Black Man" that talks to her that way or something like that. What was the point of saying Black man as opposed to just "a person"?

Girl I caught that too! :o I was like why couldn't she just say a man/person?? :rolleyes:
That whole episode just confirmed that I really don't like that Walla Walla chick. That couldn't even have been me on that show because I would have already told her to take her dumb behind home a long time ago!
And what did Justin think he was going to do to Theo? Puh-leese! :rolleyes:
But that song that they sang in the van really had me cracking up! :D
I can't wait to see what happens next week when Tonya finds out about Cara talking behind her back too. She was really two-faced!

Confused
 

I am confused about Tonya's relationship with this Darrin. She said he handles her finances.....what finances? I thought she was broke.

She also said he was a "father figure", then why does she have to lie to him? She is so manipulative.

In addition if her and Justin are so close, why is he still questioning her relationship with Darrin? But Tonya did check Justin and cut the conversation about Darrin short when they were on the phone.
