I'm with you guys on the Wes thing. He was always kind of icky to me. And I never could picture those two as a couple. Oh well. If they're happy... I was surprised at the reunion. Lots of animosity. Was anyone friends with each other anymore? Didn't really seem like it. I was most disappointed with Neh. I had really liked him at the very beginning of the season, and started liking him less as the season went on, and at the end I just disliked him all together. Now the reunion - wow. He better deal with his anger (and whatever other) issues or he's going to be back in jail! I was hoping I'd see something better from him. I don't know - I still like Danny. I couldn't tell if the others were exagerating, or jealous, or if they were right about him. He never struck me as having a big ego. They all seem pretty immature. I don't know. Maybe I've finally outgrown Real World.

I don't get the Danny hate either, except that it seems that he and Melinda have moved on and gotten on with their lives...while the others were still hanging around waiting to be celebrities. Yes, maybe Danny thinks he is a star (but what is up with that HAT?) but don't they all?

Did anyone watch the 1 hour show where they showed the stuff you didn't see? I actually thought it was pretty good. I didn't realize they got paid weekly. I wonder how much they get paid? Wes had to pay for some of the damage he did to the house - out of his weekly pay.

Wes grossed me out, but mainly because of how he treated women in general. Johanna, although physically beautiful, is a male Wes, so I could see them hooking up. Both immature, though it's odd that she is somehow involved in psychology (i forgot in what capacity)... didn't seem too knowledgeable. Johanna and Danny, separately, both morphed into very ugly people when drunk. Danny and Melinda... well, he is too insecure (which makes sense that he'd propose), and she seems either naive or insecure (or amazingly forgiving) to put up with all the crap he dealt her during the season. And that's just the stuff we saw, I'm sure there was more. Whether they get to the point of having kids or not, she'll be the "mother" in the family. can't imagine her being faithful, it's a rough road ahead, that's what I think. Lacey, even with what seemed as immature traits, was the most mature in the group (and the youngest, right?) Nehemiah was trying to be someone he isn't... yet. He was a walking contradiction, but for some reason, I do see him getting past that when he gets older. what was the deal with the hat and the "tan" on danny? distracting. for what it's worth.

I noticed the tan on Danny too. Is it just me or did Melinda look a little orange as well? That turned me off right away and how real can you be with that fake of a tan come on Danny, your not THAT cool!!

So maybe Neh was right concerning the Ben Affleck accusation.

I would imagine that they get a per diem allowance - a certain amount of money each week to pay their eating and living (and in their case drinking) expenses. It is fairly customary - on Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race they all get it.

And supposedly they were "working"... although we didn't see much of it. To bad this group didn't get that awful cleaning the boat job they made the cast do a few seasons ago...

I would rather do the clean the boat job - you have a clear idea of when you are done and there is no real OT. Someone who took the film job seriously could work a zillion hours on it.

I figured they get per diem, but didn't think it was that much. With the boat job, we knew how much they got for working, because I remember them really having to "earn" the money, and not getting the full pay if they showed up late or didn't work or something. I forgot how much it was, but I remember thinking it wasn't that much. So I figured that they got per diem along with the work pay. The other seasons I figured that part of the Real World experience was "working", and they just got per diem as part of the show. But the way they were talking about Wes having to pay for the expensive items he destroyed and it coming out of "next week's check", it seemed like they must get a lot. Especially if they were able to go out to drink and eat as much as they did. Wes owed almost $800 for damaged furniture! I agree with Laura that I wouldn't have liked the boat job. It seemed like mostly hard labor, and there didn't seem to be much fun to be had(unless you really liked sailing) - as opposed to the other RW jobs. Remember when Robin and Cameron (?) jumped in the water to get out of working that day? LOL I also agree with Alisons that I wouldn't want the film job due to the crazy hours, but at least someone like Neh could benefit from it since it's what he wants as a career. Plus at least they also had fun meeting and hanging with the bands during the filming.

On the whole, I thought that the "The s*&^ they should have shown" show was better than the finale or the reunion show because it was more positive about the relationships in the house. The season just ended on such a downer, I am glad that they showed the "Should have Shown" show.

I thought that the immaturity of this cast was very evident in "The Sh** they should have shown". They seemed almost proud of some of the stuff that happened....wetting the bed, urinating in the street, eating potato chips off the bathroom floor, mooning the camera,.... No wonder this season was a let down.

I was sitting around minding my own business watching TRL, and who did I see stinking up my TV screen? Melinda and Danny. Does Danny ever take that stupid hat off? Melinda seemed to be infatuated with watching herself on the TV monitors.Ugggghhhhhhh!!!

Danny's head is shaped different than most peoples maybe that's why. <Or because he thinks the hat looks cool.> I don't know how to explain it except that when you look at his profile closely his forehead seems to stick out farther than normal or something. This is not because of his eye injury...I wouldn't think. Has anyone else noticed this or is it my imagination?

Are you suggesting he has a Neanderthal-type head? Surely you jest???
