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.

Happens EVERY season.

On day 1, you're BFFs.

By the 4th or 5th ep, you're in a bar fight and one of you is ready to "leave the show."

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

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!

Yes, why IS this show still on?
