This show is pure comedy.
Unlike the Real World Paris it is actually INTERESTING (an episode centered on someone eating their roomie's peanut butter? an episode about not getting your work in on time, when it is par for the course that the RW kids will never take their jobs seriously? poor).
Unlike Road Rules I feel (or felt- and I am looking at Die-lan here) these people! A lot of us know what the street is like and have met people who would do anything (except, oddly enough, go to school) to get out. I am ROOTING for them to leave the street mentality and defensiveness behind and MAKE something of themselves.
Definitely my favorite reality television right now. Even if it is making me like P. Doody.
