It is amazing how after only one hour I am already completely annoyed with this cast. Sure there will be moments, but I don't know if I can stick with it.

Funny thing....morning after the premiere the local morning news show ripped on the local boy that went to Princeton. Basically, they said obviously he made it in the same way Reese Witherspoon made it into Harvard in Legally Blond....the "Beautiful Person" policy. I tend to agree, he certainly didn't sound like a Princeton educated person.

So, just how does a Princeton-educated person sound like?

I knew I was going to get that. Let's just say that I wasn't impressed with his vocabulary or his knowledge of things. But I guess that I have often found that the most brilliant people have absolutely no common sense.

Anyway, this is the Real World....let me go with it.

The chicks are hot and there should some good conflict btwn Theo and Chris.

The RWs I liked were SF, Hawaii, and New Orleans. I didn't even watch the 2nd NY one - no interest.

I hope MTV got a flat rate on their long distance bill - Tonya looks like she'll be on the phone 12 hours out of every day.

Question: why havent MTV done a REAL WORLD: Washington DC series? Just curious.

prolly cause they didn't want any drive bys...it wouldn't be good pub to have a cast member gunned down.

why haven't they done a real world dallas? i think it would be cool if they filmed one here

Like they'd stick them in Southeast or something? They could set them up with one of those nice places in Georgetown where all the rich people live.

Keri looked hotter in her photos from MTV.com, but on the show, she didn't do much for me.

Cara also doesn't do much for me either, neither does Aneesa. Tonya, the lovesick basketcase is the only with a hot body, okay face.

They need to cast some "ugly" people for the Real World, normal looking guys, not bulked up dudes like Kyle. Chris's eyes are weird looking. I can't wait the inevitable Chris and Theo "moment" when Chris tells Theo to keep his bigoted crap out of his face.

I really hope Kyle and Keri don't wind up like Mya and Kyle? from Hawaii.

Funny you should say that... within a week of the cast moving in some homeless guy got shot, killed and found in the trunk of a car near their building. I'm sure they won't even make reference to that, because that wouldn't be "Real World."

You know, I'm sort of surprised that none of the "Real World" girls ended up in Playboy.

They would seem like prime candidates. You know, trying to recapture a few seconds of their fifteen minutes of fame before the long stay in obscurity. To be on a show like that, you'd have to have the personality type that craved attention. Coupled with the fact that none of them seem to be very shy or inhibited...

Heck, you'd think they'd have enough of them willing to do a whole "Girls of the Real World" pictorial.

They got Jerri from Survivor in almost record time.

I think your view on the Ivy League schools is a little tainted. They're not all smart...just like any other university they have their share of good and bad students. The people who go to Princeton or Harvard are the same people who go to UCLA, UT, UM, etc. I personally would tend to think if there is anything that differentiates Ivy students from others is that they tend to come from wealthier families.

Which girls from the Real World would you want to see appear in the buff in Playboy?

All the girls except Aneesa from Chicago.

Kelly from New Orleans





Lindsey from Seattle



Genesis from Boston

I think Theo looks like a black version of actor Matthew Lillard (of "Scream").

"It's a scream, baby!"

isn't one of the girls from last season doing one of those MAXIM type mags? I thought I saw here on Entertainment Tonite....

i would vote for tonya to be in playboy as well. she sooo gives me the hot!!!

Shhhh.!.t was there a new episode on tonight, I forgot to watch.

Tonya has been pissing off her housemates, she claims she's sick from her kidney infection (th roomies think she's just a drama queen always needing attention, and they won't have anything of it. Theo and Aneesa basically tune her out when Tonya's moaning and groaning about her medical problems).

They all find out they are going to be working as lifeguards, but they have to complete the lifeguard qualification, else they won't be on duty.

They all pass CPR certifications.

Only 3 (Chris, Keri, and Kyle) make the qualifying time (something like 3:30 minutes for a 200 meter swim). Cara gives up, basically doggie paddles until she's too tired (her dad was a lifeguard and gave her a peptalk on the phone the day before they went to qualify). I don't like Cara at all, she's just a waste of space. Theo and Aneesa complete the swim, but take too long, so I guess they'll be trying to qualifying later. Tonya walked out after complaining that her kidney infections makes it impossible for her to swim the lengths to qualify. The lifeguard qualifiers seem to be like lifeguard marine sargeants, never compromising on what it takes to be a lifeguard, they were really stern with Cara and Tonya (loved that part!).

Gotta love Keri's work ethic. She's the real deal, I think.

Tonya packs up and goes home to Walla Walla. She has a terrible time dragging her luggage out of the house, she cries the entire time. She has trouble hailing a cab. She gets called by the rest of the roomies who are coming back from the lifeguard activities, and Kyle fakes that they are far away from the house because he doesn't want to deal with crap (this gets hi-5's from the rest of roomies who were all in the van that Kyle was driving - Kyle said something like, "so am I going to have to drive around the block a few more times?" to avoid Tonya all together). Finally one of the neighbors stops by and gives her a lift to the airport.

yeah, i kinda thought that last part about them all in the van just driving around to avoid helpng her out was kinda cruel.

Funny I went to the beach a LOT this summer and not ONCE did I see a TV crew filming ...

and mini is right about the neighborhood yelling during the filming of the shows. in fact, if you walk past the home today, you'll see red paint on the door and doorstep ...

HeY! I noticed the paint on the door on last night episode when whiny cryin' baby was leaving!! Was wondering about it. I was like, "Did you see that paint!?!?!?" How'd that get there?!?!?!

Tonya may be the biggest whiner I have ever seen. I don't know if her air-time is a "worst-of" compilation, but she can't be too happy with the way she is being portrayed.

Also, what kind of medical insurance is restricted to your home state? What adult does not have a form of identification? This is one f'ed up girl. When you take a cab to the airport, why don't you call for a cab? Finally, instead of dragging your luggage down the stairs, why not use the elevator?

The phone call from the other 6 riding in the car before she was leaving was priceless.

What even possessed her to be on the Real World.

As for Cara, yeah she is flaky, but you need to have the resident slut on the show.

Boo Hoo~!

What was up with the blood-red paint splattered over their front door and sidewalk? Rowdy Chicago activists?

And I'd still diddle Tonya silly, no matter how much she cried.
