Vince Neil and MC Hammer shared that responsibility with Gabrielle Carteris.

Another reason why season 1 ruled.

I can't get them to play either.

Da Brat is a bit to bitchy for her own good... "I'm not living in a house with has-beens." Jesus Christ, Chyna's more know then she is... Get over yourself.

I finally figured out who Da Brat reminds me of...



"I'm Gumby, dammit!"

But Jane seems to cry when mice fart so it's no big deal. The truth is Da Brat is right. This show is "The Love Boat" for the new millenium. Anyone who doesn't realize this about the show is in denial. All the "stars" are "has-beens" or have seen better days in their careers. Da Brat is the only one honest enough to admit this and "ghetto enough" to say it out loud.

The truth is alla yuz guys wanna FUCK Jane(actually me too after that pool scene ) so naturally you all jump to her defense. If that Sushi/Curry babe had said what Brat said you guys wouldn't even be talking about this to such a degree. You guys woulda blew the comment off.

Anyway, I gotta say this...Vern Troyer is funny but he's friggin gross. Seeing him nekkid was funny as hell but it disturbed me deeply

Chyna... oh gawd that body
Sushi/Curry girl
Jane

Everybody realizes this...it isn't rocket science, it's the entire premise of the show. The interviews at the beginning even have all had the stars talking about when things went sour in their careers. Except for Da Brat, who insisted that she is not a "has been." If anybody is in denial, it's her.

Good point. They always include a reality show star as well.

The Surreal Life "recipe" seems to always include one or more of the follwing: Former Child Star, Rapper, Reality Show Star, and a Model. With the exception of season 2 they've also had a member of a famous band too.

The reason Da Brat is being offensive is not because she's wrong (which as you pointed out, she kind of isn't) it's because she excludes herself. Saying "we're all past our prime! Let's party!" is one thing. Saying "you all are washed up and I'm above you!" sucks, no matter who says it. But when a real burn-out says it it's a big insult.

Well allow me to retort.

I saw no indication that Jane cries easily, but maybe I missed something in the "coming" section. More importantly, I'm not saying that Jane isn't a "has-been". I'm saying that da brat is as much, if not more, of a "has-been" as anyone in the house.

If anyone is in denial it is obviously her.

I'd have a problem is sushi-girl made the comment as well. From a different perspective though, because she is a "never-was".

1. Seriously, I've always confessed my love/lust/affection for Chyna. She's awesome.
2. Your Mom's been telling stories about me again huh? Smaller just means more anal. Did she tell you that part?
3. I like 'em Exotic so Chyna works for me on many levels.

Bah! She's just playing the "hip hop B-girl" role. Of course she can't admit she's a has been. She knows she is and by the end, after the dinner, she'll confess that she is.

Where is this airing? Is it not on the WB now?

I watched the first 2 seasons and had no idea it was coming back.

The cool thing about this show is it's like "The Real World Concentrate". Isn't it shot over a short period of time instead of months like TRW? Also, although they've added the stupid "Missions", the show can still kick ass just watching these celebs interact without giving them chores.


I'm still trying to imgaine what Vern's little finger felt like touching sushi/curry girls nipple.

I guess your definition of exotic differs a lot of ours

But yeah Verne Troyer riding around naked on his little scooter drunk and naked was hilarious, yet so wrong at the same time. It could have been even better if they got him the little motorized chair with the horn from Austin Powers.

Don't know who Da Brat is, dont really care, but she'll bring some good drama.

I only got to see a few episodes of the past season, but I gotta remember to watch this from now on.

1. I guess so.

2. I can't get over the "ehhhhhh!" noise he was making.

3. Da Brat, will come out of this looking really stupid and she'll realize she was being a C-word when it's all over with.

Did it seem to anyone else like Vern was about to make out with that Brady guy? That wouldve been the topper
