You'll never understand what it feels like to hear the word said by someone that isn't black.

^^^ that was good.

this is just speculation but....I think black people use the word as a way of "taking it back" and not letting it be used as such a derogatory word anymore. same with how gay peeps can call eachother queer and it's okay, but if a straight person says it, not cool. I maybe didn't explain that well, but I think it's the same reasoning behind both words... ??

nevermind

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the eps...is anyone pregnant yet?

Just like Randall and "porch monkey." :)

Ok I finally saw the "n-word ep". :lol: I still blame the Brothah for initially losing it, but I'll give him props for trying to mellow out and not smacking the guy when he was clearly trying to provoke him.

Also, that Colie chick gets respect from me for standing up to the "Black Hulk" ;) and trying to mellow him out. She didn't back down. :up:

I'll also give the whole house Major Overall Props for the way they(the ones involved) worked things out and for everyone forgiving each other and trying to work things out. :up::up:

And finally, Tyrie gets the "Charles Atlas Seal of Approval"**;) for sticking up for his housemate after someone called him a "f-word". :up:


**Points to anyone who gets that reference. :p

Charles Atlas? The body builder who saved 98 pound weaklings from getting sand kicked in their faces at the beach by promoting muscle gain through weightlifting?

The chicks weren't in last night's episode. Boring.

Dude is totally a WoW player..he mentioned leeroy jenkins..and said his character's was like DarkKent.

Uhh, I know many people that have either been called a bitch, or has called someone a bitch..usually its not because they are gay.

True dat. You can fight with your 'brother' aka roomate, but if someone outside of the 'family' tries to..there is a smack down a coming.

How big is Tyrie? 6'3 230 pounds? hes HUGE.

this ep was boring sans chicks, and nothing really happened, no wonder they have them all on the show for 18 Weeks, so they can get enough footage.

No. Im 6'3" and almost 230 (220) and he is easily twice my size (width wise, muscles etc...) and Im not scrawny. Id say he looks about 5'10" ish and I think he mentioned in one of the first few eps that he was 270 lbs. Those dimensions seem to fit him considering muscle weighs more than fat.

On the episodes:
1: Too Fast Too Furious. Roomates hooking up and being best friends, making pacts etc... This use to be climatic points of the seasons that maybe happened once or twice during the 5 months ordeal if it happened at all. Then again, thats when The Real World was Real Good. (Seasons 1-8 sans 4)

2: Tyries explosion (which makes more sense after seeing ep 3) seemed unfounded and crazy but he showed good restraint whereas Davis flipped out. Drunkeness and anger is no excuse for the N-word. No matter how mad/drunk Ill get I wont resort to racial or sexual slurs.

3: Cool to see Tyrie getting some action. Seems like the brothas have been striking out every season since Alton from LV. His defense of Davis was good and he seems to be big on loyalty/having roommates back. That sentiment coupled with him being drunk on ep. 2 now makes his outlash on Davis make more sense, although it was still too volatile.

Yes. But it's a line from a famous cult classic.

Agreed. I've brought this up before. It seems every year they get a house full of Horny young folks(the white kids) who sit around, get drunk, and do all sorts of things to each other and local barflys...but the Brothahs are always left with their dicks in their hands. :lol:-ohbfrank-

No comment... :p

And he needs to come up against someone bigger than him who will give him the beatdown he deserves. 2 things I don't like about him.

1. He uses his size to intimidate everyone around him.

2. He only views women as sexual objects who can get him off.

He's a 2x loser in my book.

And what's up with the Christian guy lying for him with the women? He's another 2 faced liar and does not know the meaning of being a 'good' Christian.

Chris

1. yeah he does use his size like that. isn't he also into Martial Arts?

2. they aren't? I mean....er uhm...he's young and full of hormones just like the rest. I don't think he should be singled out for wanting to have sex.

Christian guy... yeah i thought that was weird. Especially after he made a big deal over the Gay Baptist. :lol: To his credit he seems to have gotten over the Gay Baptist thing.

I don't know if I mentioned it in an early post, but I felt the same way about Alex wanting to screw Colie, knowing full well that she wanted a more serious relationship and then the next night going after Jennifer. They are both cut from the same 'cloth'.

Chris

ok, fair enough. don't get me wrong, i think they're all whores. :lol:

No disrepect but to your 2nd point on Tyrie... Thats what the Real World has been for the last 8 or so year if not longer. My liking the show has declined since thats the only type of guys they seem to cast now, either that or gay.

I agree with you on how he uses his size. Even when hes talking to Stephen about the girls at "Reggae on the Roof" he seems to always be abrasive. Id imagine me and him would clash if I were on the show. That probably wouldnt fare to well for HIM :D.

We need to hook the 2 of you up (not in THAT way) :johnwoo2:


Chris

That Jenn revelation made earlier in the thread is starting to sound more believable.

I empathize with Brooke. I'm a girly man - I can't fucking stand camping out/roughing it. While I usually hate the work part of RW, it could be interesting to see this group without booze in the woods for 5 days.


edit: damn - were there 2 new episodes tonight? Only caught the 1.

Did anyone see Brooke walking through the house in her thong and Teddy? Hello! It was during hte part where she wanted to go to bed but her roomy was going at it with that guy.

I saw that.

I didn't understand why Jenn didn't bang the dude in that guest bedroom they have.
