Does anyone care? or have there been just way too many of them. I have not been watching as much but saw the preview episode they have been showing all this week?

Thoughts?

I am interested in seeing the girl with the red lipstick and the Boston guy.....and like Coral said "just tired of the black kids teaching the white kids about color...." it happens on every RW....it really has been played out. Can't believe there are still people out there that are so ignorant.

Also, could it be that there is no one gay this time? or did I misread the snipets they showed.

I watched the first 50 seasons, then it got kind of old....or I did. At least, the kids look much younger to me now, lol.

I enjoy the challenges now more than the RW or RR. I sort of check in every once in awhile just so that I recognize the kids on the challenges. It would be nice if MTV would break away from the formula though.

I watched the beginning of the Austin preview and turned it off after they introduced the first two people. I think I am officially too old for this show now. I cannot relate anymore. Maybe that is why I still enjoy watching the challenges, those people are closer to my age!

Does anybody know when this actually starts? It's much easier to follow if you see the first episode.

I am pretty much over the Real World shows also. They seem pointless.

I believe it starts the 21st...not sure.

I feel like I am too old for it now too but since I am taping them or MTV reruns them so much I end up watching it anyway despite my husband's rolling "oh please" eyes! LOL!!!!

If anyone's interested this starts tomorrow... I, as always, will watch but expect the usual crap... seems like this show is now only good so they have new people for the challenge!

Well I watched and thought it was really good and very disturbing what happened to Danny. In fact, I find myself in near tears thinking about how some ROTTEN PUNK just punched him without provocation and hurt him so badly... I have a tough time with violence like that and Danny clearly didn't do anything, it was so scary how all those guys came out of nowhere, I thought there was gonna be a terrible attack, glad it didn't get worse but seems like what happened to Danny is worse enough (bad grammar I know)...

Danny obviously is crazy for Melinda who is unbelievably gorgeous, I think she's gonna get sick of him real quick, I think she likes him cuz he's the cutest but once she sees he's no challenge for her, she's gonna break his heart.

Jolanda is a <QT>, what she did to Nehemiah was INSANE, truly... we all get drunk, but to attack him like that, I wish they'd show the roommates the tape so they know that Nehemiah did NOTHING WRONG... I know Danny was blaming Nehemiah for the fight, but it wasn't his fault in any way and I want the other roomies to see that and don't want Nehemiah to get pegged the angry black man, cuz he's not, he's wonderful! I think he's gorgeous and nice, fun and cool...

Looks like a VERY interesting season and it seems like Melinda is even more wild than Trishelle and Tonya put together, gee what a surprise that she got cast, lol...

I didn't think that Melinda was all that gorgeous but she knew how to use what she has. The parents of these casts must be so proud! I watched it even though I said I wasn't going to. It will be another season of drinking and getting so drunk that they don't know what they are doing. I don't think Jolanda is a <> just a bad drunk. She said she couldn't drink hard liqour so what did she do? Danny was also drunk when he was blaming Nehemiah and at least Nehemiah had the good sense to 1. walk away from the bar and 2. understand where Danny's anger was coming from and leave it until he could talk to him sober.

Let's see. In the first episode we had drinking, drinking, drinking, sex talk, drinking, drinking, sexual acting out, drinking, drinking, fight, drinking, drinking, fight, hospital.

Nice.

Johanna clearly has a low tolerance for alcohol, knows it causes her "bad side" to come out, and drinks anyway. Hmmm. . .maybe a "friend of Bill" status is in her future?

Melinda is cute, but not what I would term drop-dead gorgeous (tastes differ of course). She clearly has sexuality going for her. Hard to tell if there's any other substance there as all we've seen so far is her drinking and using her sexuality. Time will tell.

Danny seems like a real stand-up kind of guy who is acting his age. He's hot for two beautiful girls and can't pick which one he really wants yet. Can't blame him since they're both flaunting it in his face and he is a red-blooded, young male. :-) At the bar, he tried to find out what was going on. Unfortunately, he tried to find out from a drunk girl who didn't know which way was up at the time. He then jumped to contusions (literally) with the other guy and off they went. The fight really wasn't a fight at all; it was them being jumped by some guys who probably didn't need any reason other than being members of the "Real World Hate Squad" that seems to pop up in every city where they film. Both Danny and the blond guy seemed to keep trying to walk away and basically weren't allowed to. That punch he took was a total sucker-punch and I hope they could identify the guy who did it from the tape and press charges. From what happened in the first show and the looks of things to come, seems like Danny is going to have more of an opportunity to grow up during these five months than he bargained for. :-(

So far Nehemiah looks like a very mature, cool guy. He's definitely a hunk! I, too, hope they don't end up painting him as the "angry black man". That's so been done.

The army nurse gal. . . well, so far, it seems like she's kinda wild and crazy. Time will tell.

The hairdresser virgin. . . hard to tell yet. I expect her to be the cause of some fireworks, though, based on clips we've seen.

Probably missed someone, but these are my impressions from the first show. :-)

Nehemiah and Lacey should run far far away from this season, it's not going to be pretty.

I've always enjoyed the RR/RW series, but this time it looks like such a trainwreck! It's heartbreaking to see what alcohol does to them. Mamie316 ... oh I'm SO glad I'm not the mother of one of these walking disasters! It's a good thing it's all over before the parents get to see it. (Well, Nehemiah and Lacy seem to have quite a bit of common sense! ... but the others? whooooa!)

I think Melinda looks like a prettier Paris Hilton.

I think Jo is worse than a bad drunk, she physically attacked Nehemiah, even Ruthie didn't do that! To me, that shows real violence issues, she's got a lot of making up to do, in fact, I hope Nehemiah stay away from her, she can't be trusted and he's just trying to be a good friend, in the end she'll hurt him.

I agree max, I want them to find that sob and arrest him, he hurt poor sweet Danny, how could anyone wanna do that? I know I'm naive, those RW haters are animals... I just can't get the vision of Danny getting punched out of my mind, I mean, he BROKE a bone and could go blind!

But yeah, obviously it's gonna be a drama filled, drunken, sex filled season, but if it wasn't, come on, we'd probably all be bored... but I definitely don't wanna see anymore violence, that is to scary...

It is definitely a trainwreck. I am not sure why I still watch, but I think it really is a fascination at the way people choose to live their lives. You know you're a belligerent drunk, so you keep drinking to excess and try to get people to rescue you in advance? Then you attack them? I want to understand, but I don't.

I liked Nehemiah, especially how he learns quickly how to protect himself from crazies (his momma has reason to be proud so far), and so far (you must qualify everything at this stage) I probably relate most to the hairdresser girl. I think I would just kind of walk around going "Who are these people and do I really have to hang out with them?" I'm sure they are fine when they are sober, but the alcohol is not a becoming accessory!

I agree with everyone about the cast.

Here are my 2 cents...

Melinda is pretty in a hot kind of way, she oozes sex.

Jolanda- was that a preview of her getting arrested? oh my, I wonder what she did...

Nehemiah- love him! love that he walked away and agree, I wish someone would tell the cast that he did nothing wrong.

Danny- love him too. Can't blame him for being goo goo ga ga, she is flaunting it all over him. Remember he is way younger then most of us and is still in "that age". He got punched and I also hope they can identify the jerk. Geez, a big fight over nothing!

WEs- Typical frat guy. Seems like he has a good heart somewhere in there.

Lacey- troublemaker in the making but for now seems innocent enough.

The other girl- forget her name, seems nice and crazy but in a nice way ;)

I will definetely watch. Even my husband got interested when seeing Melinda and the fight. Typical guy huh? So much for talking trash about all my shows! He made me rewind it to show him the beginning of the show! LOL!!!!

I liked how Wes just walked away from being pushed around. That guy kept coming up behind him and shoving him and he would just hold his hands up. I had a different mindset about him until then.

me too, you are right, I was thinking he would be like the other blonde from the inferno RR/RW (his name escapes me now). You know, the loose cannon one....but guess not.

Danzdol, you must be thinking of Abe. I agree with you and Mamie about Wes not being the hothead (yet), who knew it would be sweetfaced Danny. Also I did not like the way Danny was so mad at Nehemiah and wouldn't let him explain why he left the club, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt because he was drunk and in pain. Seems like if they don't portray an angry black man, they end up having an angry Bostonian (i.e. David -Seattle and CT- Paris)!

I hate to admit it, but I am hooked once again!

Trishelle better look out, Melinda is probably the hottest chick they've ever had on the Real World, she just oozes sexuality. Unlike Sarah, I think this one will actually do some hooking up, not just try to!

I'm so impressed that you already know the names. I only know Nehemiah's name...other than that I mentally refer to them as "the soldier girl," "the crazy drunk girl," "that poor boy that's being toyed with," "the hairdresser girl," and "that kid from Kansas."

I also picked up on the fact that Jo asked Nehemiah to watch out for her when she drinks...uh...can you say misplaced responsibility?

If she attacked another member of the cast why is she still there? I thought they had a zero tolerance policy against violence.
