Good for Karamo last night! I really like him. MJ just doesn't understand--and of course his roommates don't either--how similar it is to be attacked because he is a Real World member and what happened to Karamo. Both are completely arbitrary, completely silly ways of demeaning people and terrorizing them [with a small t] with a constant barrage of insults and demeaning/dehumanizing behaviors. It's death by a thousand paper cuts. Karamo knows what that feels like....so sympathy for MJ, when it didn't come for Karamo, is hard to come by.

Ditto Tish. I like him too although i was worried for a moment that he would stay in that other mode too long and miss out on this experience.Also, what do you all think about the constant editing where he continually states the difference in his spectrum of gayness and willie's?

Sorry Karamo, I really think I was too harsh above. What I want to know, is what was Karamo trying to do by bringing the roomies to the bad part of town?

No, I missed the smile. I just don't get what his point was. To reinforce to the roomies that they should be scared in that part of town, when he isn't scared? Like maybe he feels that these white people in a bad area feel like what he feels like in a white area? I don't get it? I also think it was so small of him to hope that MJ got barstools thrown at him? So if he thinks it's similar to be attacked because he is a Real World member and what happened to Karamo, fine. But to be happy about it is to be a total hypocrite. And he was VERY happy about it.

... maybe he wanted to show them how it felt to be the minority and to be picked out and picked on because of it ...

assume that is why he did it. Then why was he so happy about it? 2 wrongs make a right?

I'm no fan of MJ, who really doesn't get it, but I think Karamo's pretty immature and overdramatic. The idea that MJ "betrayed" him - they hardly even know each other. I understand being disappointed and let down, but betrayed? That's just silly. Also, he seems so proud of the fact that he doesn't give second chances and never forgives people. He's going to have a hard time holding onto friends, with that attitude. People sometimes let you down; it's a fact of life. Karamo's standards seem to be unrealistically high, and I think ultimately this will just lead to unhappiness for him.

I think Shavonda wants her cake and eat it too. She wants Sean's permission to kiss whomever she wants, but he can't snuggle with whomever he wants? That isn't fair. I am glad to see MJ & K all happy, but I still think K was way wrong. He stated/implied that MJ had betrayed him, was dead to him and wronged him (he may have used a different word han "wronged") I still don't see what MJ did to do any of those things... And what is that ugly white thing K sometimes wears on his head. He is a good looking guy and that looks dumb on him, like he is about to put a wig on. I am also glad to see Sarah stop sleeping in MJ's bed.

Yes, Thiry, she really was "tricking" or talking him into breaking up. trying to just get his permission to fool around while he waited for her...

Thiry, I can't stand Sarah either, its like she prides her self on being extremely sexual to the point that its sleezy. I thought shavonda, was being kind of maniupalitive with the breakup, so we'll see what happens with her and landin now.

Karamo keeps repeating that he "doesn't want to be seen as the angry black man" but he is one angry black man. If I was MJ, I would have told Karamo to kiss my a*s and let him be miserable. MJ sure seemed like he was willing to listen, but Karamo wouldn't let him finish a stupid sentence without interrupting. For a person who claims to have been so discriminated against, Karamo doesn't seem to have a clue how to relate to others without raising his voice and intimidating by getting in MJ's space and looking down on him because he is taller.

Hukdon, I agree. K is one very angry black man. I also think MJ bent way too far backwards. He shoulda just washed his hands of Karamo...

Ok, I'll try to avoid the rotten tomatoes that everyone will throw at me...This season is boring me. None of these people are likeable to me.

I really like this season. I especially like Karamo and Melanie. I find MJ and Landon reprehensible.

Good show last night. Melanie sure is a PITA it seems to everybody, she can dish it out but can't seem to take it, she'll probably have a meltdown at some point. She annoyed the heck out of me (as well as Ricky) when she kept saying over and over that she didnt' like it when talking about the playground spot... she's really abrasive. I loved the scenes with Karamo and Dorian, Dorian is gorgeous! They seem really good together, just what Karamo needs, they seem like they cpi;d have a lot in common (besides being black and gay and gorgeous, lol) and I hope to see more of Dorian this season. So looks like the "like" affair with Vonda and Landon will start going downhill with his drunkenness... to bad as they seemed sorta cute together.

I think it's great the way Karamo and Dorian are giving us, the viewing public, a chance to see how More similar than Not a homosexual relationship is to a heterosexual relationship. Seeing Karamo prepare for his date was precious. We all go through the dating rituals and worry about making a good impression. Most importantly, we don't see these guys jumping into bed together right away! Very refreshing!

Sarah gets on my nerves too. Does she really think the swedish girl is supposed to turn people on? She's crazy.She said I'm just like a man no emotions attached just sex,but the first girl that MJ talks to she gets all emotional and angry.She contradicted herself, don't you think?

xena, i 100% agree with you. she did say that she doesn't get emotional, and then what does she do? gets emotional, and freaked out at the bar. i definitely do not like her. or ivana. (is that her alter ego's name?)

Well looks like a Shavonda and Landon hookup is out of the question after last night's show. She really doesn't seem interested in him anymore, they seem more like brother and sister at this point. One thing I will say is that martini's are DEADLY and I'm not surprised he got so over the top on them, but that's of course no excuse for his insane behavior, I'd hate being around him as well.

Please save me from reading all of the previous posts! It looked to me tonight that Landon's index finger on his right hand was severed at about the first knuckle. Anyone else see it? I noticed it when he was waiting for his ex's friend to get done in the bathroom and he was covering his face with his hands.
