The Real World PARIS....where are we?
 

The new season begins Tuesday, but I think maybe in all the years it has been on, we are not represented.

Isn't one of the guys on the show mixed? My computer at work is messing up so I can't get the pic. I believe his name is Adam.

Re: Adam
It only mentions his father toured with an R&B band. :confused:

I saw the preview special.....

He might look like one of us....but i ain't claimin' him.

well you know we must always have 1
 

i am not claimin' him either, by the darden thanks for the plug!!!!


you haven't responded to my e-mail :p :D.

Me neither. LOL

I've already decided not to watch this season.

Please let this be the last season of the Real World. Its getting OLD!!!:mad:

They should cancel it and put "Real Black" on BET so I can be on it and y'all can laugh.

Re: The Real World PARIS....where are we?
 

I was thinking the same thing when I saw some of the previews last week. I was kind of thinking that ole boy Adam was reppin for us, but like dardenr stated I ain't claiming him either. This one looks really boring, and after all that went on with the Vegas show, this one seems as if it won;t live up to the Vegas hype.

I second the motion, but I would prefer it be on the Black Starz channel.

I would be "GhettoGyrl7"!

Nikki1920 is right, RW is getting very OLD and quite tired to me, and I guess this will be one season I WILL NOT watch. How is it that we are not even represented??? Just for that reason alone im not watching!
:mad: :mad: :rolleyes:

Just to throw it out there
 

I didn't see the show, but why are folx not claiming Adam even though his father probably is AfAm? Is it a case of his upbringing, attitudes, or something? Remember, we're not all alike.:confused: ;)

Steeltrap:

I feel like Adam is somewhere between assimilationist and coon. That's why I'm not claiming him. (so far....he could prove me wrong)

I can understand that we're all different, but I'm not so sure that Adam is claiming us, either.

Although I've been a faithful RW viewer since Season 1 (still my favorite), I don't think I will waste my time watching RW Paris. Sorry, can't be bothered with this particular cast of roomates.

dardenr,

Gracias for your response.

LOL at assimilationist and coon reference. I was curious because Arissa and Irulan are also biracial people, and I didn't get any sense that people weren't claiming them.

Also, I was just on another board, and people were wondering whether Adam (who they referred to as black) was in fact a repressed closet-case person because he was always talking about dropping hammer on "hot chicks." :rolleyes: :confused:

The Real World is Killing Me!
 

Best RW moment. David from the RW New Orleans singing "C'mon Be My Baby Tonight! I Seen the Way You Treat Other Thugs You've Been With. C'mon Be My Baby Tonight!"

Las Vegas was alright. But I got sick of Aryssa's lips making those funny shapes when she talked...Alton saying "Dude, I love Irulan, dude."...and Irulan for always taking him back when he embarasses the hell out of her. Trishelle, I'm not even going there. Brynn was a basket-case. I kept waiting for Frank to come out of the closet. And the other guy...I don't even remember his name, but I didn't like him either.

I'm saying I won't watch it, but RW always seems to play on a night when nothing else is on. Then the previews of the next episode look so appealing, but when you watch the next show, it's a huge let down.

By the way, did anyone see Dave Chappelle do his version of the RW? It was 6 of the craziest black people with 1 white guy from Maine I think. They had him living with a brother fresh out of jail, who told the white guy that he had better not ever see him standing up when he went to the bathroom, that he better sit down! HILARIOUS!

I won't watch AT ALL. I don't think that many people will. Didn't MTV learn anything from RW London? I am sure that the ratings were poor for that season. I only know about Antoine and that black chick Sharon(?) because they were on some RW/RR Challenges. Most of us can't relate to being in foreign countries and it more appealing to see how people put it down in other cities. I thought that there was a RW Atlanta coming out. Maybe that's the next one. Either way, I can't get down with Paris. :rolleyes:

I saw the preview/introduction show "Pardon My French" and it was wack. Adam looks biracial. He's from Beverly Hills and he swears that he has to talk to ALL women, but they have to meet his standards. :rolleyes: He seems like a loser. I'll watch when it comes back to the US and/or when the cast is more "diverse." Did they think that "we" wouldn't be accepted in Paris or what....? :confused:

I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't be watching RW Paris. I barely watched the LV season. It's just too much. MTV used to show RW once a year, but now it seems like two weeks after one season goes off, another comes on. It's Real World Overload. They should put on another show and let the anticipation for a new season build. MTV should take a hint from HBO and have three seasons of original programming per year.

ROTFL... This will join the Real World London as one of the least memorable seasons.:rolleyes:

Alright I must admit that I watched last's night's episode. Adam stated that his father is a member of the Commodores. The show was not boring like I thought it would be. Adam turns out to have many, many issues in terms of women. I think I will continue watching since he has already stirred up so much drama during the first episode.

Yeah, ok, I am coming out and admiting I accidently turned to MTV at 10pm EST. I really didn't mean to, my finger just slipped.

Gina, you are right, Adam does have issues. He got mad with girly because she didn't want to hook up with him or something to that nature. Then he seemed to be alienating himself from everyone. Boyfriend is straight up and down BUGGED. But as PG03 said, it seems kind of boring, so much so, that I fell asleep on it. I didn't get the last 30 minutes of it.

Well then you missed when Adam's issues really started to show. Since he was still pissed that she didn't want, he got mad at the blonde girl. he started going off on her telling her how she can never get with Ace, since Ace is too good for her. He also said that Ace would not sleep with her (I think her name is Leah) even if Ace used Adam's :eek:

It is still not as exciting as LV but it is 5x better than London.

Adam's Father
 

Was he a part of "the" Commodores, or was he a member of the post Lionel " Nightshift " Commodores, or part of the big band commodores when there were like a million members?

I'm going there...
 

Someone on one of my other boards suggested that Adam looks like Lionel Richie. You be the judge.

Re: Adam's Father
 

Crazy azz only said his father was a member of the group the Commodores, who were big back in the 70's. That fool Adam is a straight nut, and if his father is a member of the Commodores I want to know which one does this fool belong to. Also what does his mother look like I'm wondering as well. He looks to a mixed breed.

Re: Re: Adam's Father
 

Adam is very likely mixted.
:p

I too caught Adam's behavior last night.

Straight actin a fool. I ain't claimin him neither, lol.

He was SOOOOOO out of line it was outrageous but at least for once it wasn't some typical RW "angry black man" bull. He was just an ass. Nothing to do with his race. Just an ass.

I'll be watching this season for at least three episodes before I am completely bored with it.

Adam's father?
 

I found this on the Television Without Pity site. This is a photo of William King, who is one of two original Commodores left with the band, and the poster suggested that Adam's last name is King...

Ditto!
 

My exact thought.

INVITATION!

To: Adam

When: ASAP

Where: OUT OF THE CLOSET.

BWAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHHAHHHHAHAAA!!

LibraSoul AIN'T RIGHT!!

Re: Adam's father?
 

So this man is the father of that crazy azz, poor thing.

Indeed, he is an E. Lynn Harris novel waiting to happen.

Re: Adam's father?
 

I haven't (and probably won't) watch the show, but I could believe that this could be Adam's father. Similar smile, same little Samsonites under the eyes. . .

This is so true. When he was talking about how the blond girl could never get Ace because Ace is so GREAT... I wanted to yell at him "DO YOU WANT HIM TOO???? Come on out of the closet baby. I'm sure the other gay boy there will show you the ropes..."

Re: I'm going there...
 

You know I keep thinking Lionel Richie, but his face is much shorter than that of his possible daddy's, BUT, there is most definitely a similarity...............yes indeedy!

Re: Adam's father?
 

Oh gawd, I almost spit my juice into my scrren I laughed so hard. Lawd.......lawd, lawd, lawd..............:D :D :D

OK???!!! HUD!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna watch a little bit, but it's ALL about Making the Band 2!:D

adam
 

he is in fact lionel richie's son...poor thing. Adam is a nutcase. Yelling at people for no reason....and why did he think that song/rap that he made up was cool. That was so wack! The only thing i could think of was David's dumb a@@ "come on be my baby tonight" .... poor thang!
