Did anyone catch this last night? First, I can not believe this show has been on for 20 years! WOW Sooooo many of the roomies have NOT changed and that is NOT a good thing. Puck was there but he didn't seem too bad; Coral of course, being Coral. Almost everyone from all the shows were there, so it was cool to see them but I hated the way they had them all just standing around. They did have a nice tribute to Pedro, who is my ALL TIME favorite roomie!

remember, the slap heard round the world. it was a real world quite a few years ago, where the guy slapped a girl because she called him a homo. well, guess what. he just came out of the closet.

It's no been 20 years. It's been 20 seasons. Some years have had more than 1 season.

I have started watching this but haven't finished. I think I would find it more enjoyable if they showed them kind of sitting as a group instead of just all bebopping around. It was hard to tell them apart.

Brynn from Las Vegas is expecting her third child? wow...it just doesn't seem like these "kids" would be old enough to have children of their own...let alone three (or five)!

I still think RW San Francisco was the best...but I guess that's because I was a lot younger back then and haven't watched much of the RW since about...hmmm...Philadelphia or something. I did watch most of RW Austin though. I think most of the voters were a lot younger than me...LOL!

The guy who slapped the girl in the car as she was leaving? Isn't that the guy who mouthed off to someone else and was sort of escorted out of the party? I loved seeing the update with Rachel/Sean. They live here in WI and it's nice to see all the kids that go on RW aren't goofy and actually become mature adults, lol.

Yes, it was that guy (whose name escapes me) slapping the girl in the taxi as she left the show in RW Seattle. She didn't cope well with the house and had to leave. I think she had previously existing mental issues.

She had lyme disease. Wow, I didn't know the guy who slapped her really was gay. S.F. was my absolute favorite. I haven't watched it, though, for the last 5 years or so. Was anyone there from Season 1? I'll never forget Julie's famous line when she saw the black rap singer with a beeper: "Are you a drug dealer or something?"

Dee San Francisco was a good season. I swear while I was driving to work today, for some reason it popped in my head that both Rachel and Puck have kids and what if 15 years from now they end up on the Real World together. Can you imagine, lol. I was sad to see a lot of my favorite cast members were not there. Melissa and Julie (New Orleans), Julie (NY), Colin and Amaya (Hawaii), Genesis (Boston), Sharon (London), Dan (Miami). I know I am forgetting some! I couldn't get over how bad Nathan from Seattle looked. Wow! I used to have such a crush on him.

Frog...I agree with you about Nathan and frankly, I think he has a SERIOUS drinking problem; I too used to think he was so cute but David was more my style! I missed seeing him too!

Dannysgirl, I think David was there if I remember right. ITA about how Nathan looked! And Frogi, those missing cast members you mentioned are the exact same ones I wanted to see! GMTA!

Ha, I didn't see the reunion show, but I used to live in LA and I was at this crazy house party one time in the Hollywood Hills and Nathan asked me if I knew where to get any "party favors" and I was like, Nathan, it is FOUR A.M. Time to go to bed. Give me a break. Vince Vaughn was there too, for what it's worth. As for the "slap," it was always my opinion that she had it coming for the way she laughed and called him a "homo" in such a derogatory way, and didn't she throw his stuffed animal into the water too? I would have hit her much harder than a slap, is all I'm saying.

Stephen threw Irene's stuffed animal in the water, not the other way around. Nothing a person says warrants a slap like she received, and IMO, no male should EVER slap a female like that. <76>

And if I remember he was seriously warned at the time. There was a big too-do about it. Given some of the stuff that goes on in reality television these days it seems minor, doesn't it? But Irene had some serious issues and she didn't cope very well with stress. When you look back at the various casts it is obvious that the original casts were much more "real people" than the more current ones. A medical student, an Aids activist -- very few "wanna bes" in the bunch back then. Even the "wanna bes" seemed saner than the ones that come on shows today (well, except for Puck). I was appalled at some of the fights that happened in later years...and when did being thrown in jail become a status symbol? My mother STILL doesn't know about the time I was thrown in jail. I hope she goes to her grave without knowing!

Ha Dannysgirl, he meant drugs. And I'm not kidding when I say that I told him it was late and that it was lame to be looking for drugs when the party was ending. Obviously he decided I wasn't as cool as he thought I was when we first started talking. And I know my opinion on "the slap" is unpopular, but I still feel from my own female perspective that I would have slapped that woman as hard or harder for laughing in my face like that. But then, I have actually punched a girl for laughing in my face and it did NOT end well. Not at all. And everyone said it was my fault. But still.
