And there's no shortage of them. Ain't that a shame?

Actually, I find the guys much more fascinating then the women this season. After the first episode, I thought Stephen was going to be a big christian, homophobe and never get past it (til at least 3/4's way through the season.) But it seems he has accepted Davis at the very beginning. I was first afraid about Tyree, because he is a black belt in karate and he says he has a third personality that he says he hopes never comes out while he is there. So I don't think those 2 things along w/ alcohol bodes well. He seems to be putting up w/ a lot of crap (Jenn keeps saying she hates him because he reminds her of her ex-boyfriend, Davis calling him the N word, etc.) After it all, he keeps telling them to come and speak to him one on one and seems to work it out with them. I doubt I would have that much patience. The guys seem to have each other's backs and their heads screwed on. The girls just seem to be a mess and should stop drinking. Alex is in his own little world and doesn't warrent mention. (yet) I hope I got their names correct. I never learn them, til the show is almost over.

I think this is the most dysfunctional cast they have ever had. Other than Steven and Alex they all seem to have issues. Tyree seems nice for the most part but he explodes easily and is very intimidating. Davis appears normal but that meltdown he had with Tyree was just peculiar. I guess I have never had enough alcohol in my system to understand. The girls are all very needy and or aggressive. I wonder if maybe they cast this season with people who might need some help that Outward Bound offers? Maybe they hope to show semi-damaged people and their growth (or not) through the Outward Bound program? One can only hope.

And unfortunately the likelihood is it will be more like Paris than London and they'll just be drinking and fighting, just on a different continent.. I'd hope the locale outside of bars and pubs will be featured.

What is wrong with Brooke? Did she really think it was okay to wipe herself in the middle of camp? I don't know if I can watch anymore of her whining.

Mamie, I was wishing I was on that trip with her. I would certainly have stuck out my foot and watched her trip all the way down that cliff. She is sooooo irritating!! Whine, whine, whine!

I love Tyree, find him to be a wonderfully sweet guy with a rough exterior, he's also very handsome! Colie is pretty kewl, I wonder if she's gonna give everyone mono, she stayed behind with Adam who cuddled with her, but he knew she had mono which they say is VERY contagious, he's cute, hope to see more of him. Jenn is a nut... Alex is cute, reminds me of Vince Vaughn but much cuter... I'm liking this season, lotsa drama!

So far I've felt the opposite about this year. If I happen to catch it when nothing else much is on I've been watching some; but I don't make a point of watching it first run. Wonder how next season out of the US will be? The other two seasons overseas were kind of so-so. Courtesy of: http://realworldroadrules.blogspot.com/ Tuesday, January 09, 2007 Real World 19 is officially the third international season of the Real World; Will land in Sydney, Australia After the not so successful seasons of London and Paris, BMP decides to do it again with Sydney. The only upside is that this is an English-speaking country, but that didn't work out in London either, where the cast just chose to keep to themselves rather than explore their surroundings. The New York Post is reporting today that the cast is going to be living in Sydney. The house is located on Sydney Harbor in a 20,000 square-foot space that is in walking distance of famous Australian landmarks. Like the Denver house, BMP founder Jon Murray makes it seem that the house is surrounded by a lively night scene, which will continue the long Las Vegas-bred tradition of partying and drunken behavior. The cast is presumably already chosen. No word yet on whether this season will contain any castmembers from overseas countries. If you remember, the London season was comprised of Jacinda who was from Australia, Lars who was from Germany, and Neil and Sharon who were from the UK themselves. The Paris season also had Simon who was from Ireland. Labels: Sydney

I was shaking my head at this one all show long. Alex did say to bring up her father not being there and then cries when he's confronted with it. It wasn't taken out of context, it's what he said. Steven doesn't want to cheat on his girlfriend but having a big kissing fest in the hot tub is not cheating! Right. Jenn, stop drinking!

This bunch does not seem to have the redeeming qualities that some of the other years' cast members had. I am having a hard time feeling any empathy for them.

Wow! I haven't caught an episode in a long while. Boy, are the girls going off on each other! Brook just really flipped out on on of them (not Colie) For some reason, it seems like the other 2 are ganging up on her. Of course the guys might be instigating (though they don't show it.) They listen to both and who knows what they tell the others afterwards.

The show just ended and it's a two parter. Dang! At the end, Jolie had her boyfriend fly in, she went to lunch and ran into Alex, Jenn and Brett there. Alex and Jenn got drunk and started making out right in front of Jolie. Had to laugh at all the other customers openly staring at them. Jolie is pissed! That's where it ended.

Yep - Brooke may have gone a little whacky & there's no question that she is extremely high maint. but, those other 2 girls just seem to not have ANY morals!

I think it's very scary that I can objectively look at Brooke and see her as wacky yet if my husband saw her on the show he would say I act just like her....talk about getting myself in check... the bsing to not go on the hiking trip..I totally would have done that... the going off the deep end because I got lost finding an address.....been there done that AND got upset when someone did not let me explain myself.... The entire prissy thing...yup....that's me.... The entire screaming at the roomies...ok I have not done that but then again I have never had roomates! LOL!! but I have gone off on others like that and then regreted the entire thing 10 minutes later. yikes! Somehow seeing it on someone else seems.....different then when I do it but I am sure it's not.

Danzdol - do you do the whole arm flapping, floor stamping thing when your _itch goes off on someone too? I have verbally abused some folks when I've had my feel with them but I don't think I have the body language thing in my corner. I would have had a hard time not laughing at Brooke if I would have saw that in person.

LOL!!!! I might do the foot stomping and arm thing minus the ugly facials! LOL! which is why it's so scary to me. I might laugh if I saw someone do it too I must admit. <c>

Did you guys watch the cram episode last night? They showed a few highlights for the rest of the season. Wow! One of the guys says that Brook isn't really pretty and she should always hold her head up high so you don't see the fat on her neck (MEOW!) She must have heard it and she starts ripping apart the house. Plus, it looks like Tyre gets arrested. Oh, and they get to go to Thailand for their trip. I can't wait to see that. P.S. Looks like Jenn either sleeps w/ or majorly fools around w/ Stephen.

After last week's episode, I totally don't see myself in brook. I've NEVER EVER thrown the kind of fits that she throws.....okay, maybe when I was 2 but I don't remember that. Everyone gets angry, but all the screaming and throwing things was drama for the cameras. <48>

Brooke <48> was probably never disaplined as a child. I can see how she would grate on the 2 other very independant women's nerves. Brooke seems to want/need alot of attention & will throw temper fits to get it (ala - small children acting up to get even negative attention if that's all they can get). I think Jen's sexual freedom is probably just a phase & if/when she meets "the one" she could/will be faithful. The only differnce between her & Alex is that old dbl standard - he's male.

LOL there is a difference there. I'm remembering in other seasons where we got to see the roomates doing things like eating (heck even COOKING), being active (surfing, rollerblading, biking), performing with bands, uh, living life. Now it has deteriorated into drinking, arguing, getting arrested and trying to get out of working if at all possible, oh and hooking up. Sad, really.

Did anyone watch The S%^& They Should Have Shown? The matching shirts were hilarious. I wanted to know more about why Alex didn't enjoy the experience.
