I caught the second half (was too caught up in AR that I forgot it was on). That blond girl (can't remember her name) needs some major help - I sincerely hope she gets some by the end of the season. I don't like that frat boy (again, the name escapes me), the one that brought the blow up doll...he seems too arrogant and will most likely get on my nerves throughout the season. I'll have to try to catch one of the many re-runs of this episode so I can get a better idea of these people. I do like that they get to run a Mystic Tan shop - cool job, lol!

Yeah the blond seems to have some issues which is a shame cause she's a cute girl. I'm not feeling the curly haired guy yet. But it might be cause of his curly hair lol.

I watched and my first reaction is that this is another train wreck cast. We'll see.

I watched and can see the trainwreck a mile away. Paula will get lots of airtime if they don't kick her out. If she's bullimic or anorexic, she won't get fixed on this show, but it can make it worse ("it" being the show and/or her condition). she's not cute enough or entertaining enough to keep. not the crazy kinda drama i like from this show. and the average person isn't up for dealing with that type of issue. Seriously, pizza is not a demon but she acts like it is. One of the boys is really catty, I'll probably like his wit - wicked as I can imagine it will be. the girl with the boyfriend won't have a boyfriend for long (do any of them keep their off-screen honeys?) this cast seems more likable than last seasons cast - not hard to do though IMHO

It's obvious that the blonde girl has health and mental health issues with eating. It's a serious problem. I wonder what responsbility the show has to get her out of the house and into treatment. I don't think her roommates will put up with her. I didn't last past a few episodes last season. I'll try again this time around. Any news on an early depature and a new roommate?

What was interesting to me was how one of the guys tried to convince her that she would look better if she gained a few pounds, but then she had that conversation with one of the girls in the house saying "I like me better this thin" and the girl agreed with her. What are we women doing to each other? I have a hard time with the whole ultra-thin chic thing. I look around and see all these young women that are screwing up their bodies and everyone tells them they look wonderful, so it encourages them. I'm not in favor of obesity, but a healthy weight. Kudos to the guy who cared enough to let her know that she didn't look healthy. (LOL...of course, there may have been some alcohol involved in that conversation.)

I know they always like to have one of the housemates struggling with a personal problem, I think they may have overstepped the boundary with the blonde girl (sorry can't remember her name). Annorexia is a very serious health problem I don't think she should be dealing with it in this environment. I know that some people have worked through and overcome their "issues" during the season, I just think it is very risky to put her in this very emotional experience.

I'm thinking they chose Paula because she has those issues, unfortunately. RW lightly touched on the subject with Sarah from RW-Philadelphia, and though Sarah also had issues, Paula this season seems waay more emotionally fragile (as opposed to a fighter like Sarah). That's not entertainment, too heavy to work with. Then again... she signed up for this.

I caught most of the first episode earlier today. It seems like Paula's issues will probably be a focal point of this season. Could there be any chance that she applied for this show hoping that she might get some help?? I could be far off the mark with that question but you never know. I wonder if she will stay on the whole season, or will leave to seek some help.

you have the option for health insurance but you pay for it - but you do have access to the health clinic and a couple of free psych visits if that is what is needed

Ahh that's what I thought. So she didn't need to go on a reality show for help.

I hope Paula takes whatshername's advice and gets some help. So far I'm liking this cast. Love the location.

Another reality show with a girl named Janelle, and this Janelle, just like the one on Big Brother, seems to be the only balanced female in the cast. Paula is obviously ill and Svetlana is an obnoxious spoiled brat. Well, I guess that provides two story lines.

Paula seems like a real drama queen/attention hog. Who knows how much of this is a real problem and how much of it is her bid to be the constant center of attention. There is too much that we do not know to be able to judge whether she really has a problem. There are specific body image tests that doctors perform to try to sort out drama from the real disease of anorexia. There is a reason that they need to have those tests.

Paula may not have applied for this show. Remember Frankie in San Diego? Cutter, etc. Very cute girl. She actually applied for Starting Over and Bunim-Murray (actually Mary-Ellis Bunim had passed away by then) put her on RW instead. To think she could have gotten actual help. Of course I don't know this to be true of Paula. She may be a drama queen but she pretty convincingly has big issues..

The only reason why this season of RW is worth watching is because I love seeing how Key West has changed since I lived there. Otherwise, the cast as a whole is forgettable.
