Girl, no, I am big conspiracy theorist as it is.
I think what you're saying has a lot of merit. At this point, it's obvious that MTV is interested in presenting archetypes, not so much real people. The Real World, although I love it, is very scripted.
OK..about Coral. Well, she needs to bring it down a few notches. She is the stereotypical "angry black woman" on the show. This last episode, true, Mike was wrong for calling the women "some panty-dropping freaks," but nonetheless, she didn't have to be rude to them. I understand she was trying to call Mike out, and perhaps he needed it. But how would she have felt if the situation had been reversed? If he had come out his face to her guests based on something she had said about them, she would have hit the fan! She would not have hesitated to go off!
The main thing is, Coral has devoted too much of her energy to being pissed off at Mike. I mean, take up knitting or something. Get a hobby!
I can't wait for next week's episode, when they finally get a job. Maybe that will give Lori something other to do than obsess over wishy-washy Kevin. Maybe that will give Coral something to do besides be under the foolish impression that she knows everything!
