I thought it was odd that Cameron said Ja probably felt silly wearing the life jacket. YA HELLO, If I didn't know how to swim I would NOT FEEL silly wearing a life jacket! I also thought everyone should have been wearing life jackets.

I love the conversation that Ja had with his mother! She sounds like a wonderful woman and I was impressed with how they both handled it! I thought that Coyote girl was way out of line!

Yes, Costa, she saw the ship from inside the house the first time she freaked out. I, too, could understand it better if it was the wake, or the sense you were positioned far below one, or even if one was moored beside you when you were on a pier. That could be unsettling. But that wasn't the case.

BTW, I know Navy ships and cruise ships are called ships. I thought calling them Big Boats was funny, because that's how she referred to them (ergo the capitalization.)

Missy, ITA about the life jackets. Isn't it a Coast Guard regulation to wear life jackets in an open boat? And I also liked his mom. I didn't want him to come off as the "angry black man"--I'm so tired of that reality show persona. It was cool that mom was aware of that danger, too.

Maybe she died on the Titanic and has been reincarnated as Frankie!!!!! I'd be scared too.

I know what you mean about seeing a huge ship up close from water level.. years ago I went along with my nephews' cub pack when they got to go to see an aircraft carrier that was off the coast.. we had to take small craft out and CLIMB UP the ladder up the side of this behemoth.. OMG I almost died and it was overwhelming looking up.

Also very interesting of course and I have blocked all memory of getting back down that ladder and into the pitching and rolling small craft.

Also got a tour of another carrier somewhere in San Diego.. my dad was doing his capture the family after church and instead of driving 5 miles home, just keep going another 90 miles and drive the coastline all the way.. but anyway one Sunday we picked up a hitch hiking sailor (Dad was in the Navy in WWII) and brought him back and they invited us aboard.. That was much less overwhelming.

But someone else's phobia woud not be the same as mine.

I'm surprised that SOMEONE didn't barf out there the first time. Tho, I suppose the bay or harbor is a bit more sheltered than, for instance, going deep sea fishing.. or over to Catalina.

Well, while this season has just started, the next season looks to be set. While no offical announcement has been made, it appears Philadelphia is the next location.

Cute show last night. I thought Frankie wasn't gonna last? She seems to be doing fine, she aced the boating test. Looks like they're a bit of a wild bunch, what was up with all that kissing in the van? I felt bad for ummm, oh jeez what's her name, the chinese girl being pressured into that, I thought she might cry, I would've acted the same way as her.

I love Jacquees! He's so cute.

I am sure that Brad's family is proud of him for owning up to the bet of having to expose himself!

I thought last night's show was kind of boring. Next week looks like the action heats up, maybe it's scenes like next week's that make Frankie leave. I did see a preview scene where she is sitting at the table kissing her boyfriend, maybe she just can't stay without him after he comes to see her.

The harbor is really quite still, so if they were cruising around the harbor (unless is it was a really windy day), you probably wouldn't get seasick. However, it's possible they gave them all Dramamine (and didn't show it) before they boarded.

WRT life jackets... it's a requirement that there BE a life jacket on board for every person on board. It is not a requirement for adults to wear a life jacket (although I think it is for children).

Having grown up on the water (waterskiing next to all those Big Boats), I find it slightly amusing to hear that someone freaked out over the Big Boats. (Those caps are for you, Realfan! <wink>)

FWIW, one of the guys I work with happened to be in a bar one night when they were filming. He said that there were bodyguards totally surrounding the cast members and NO ONE could get near. If they were filming a REAL person chatting, it was pre-arranged it (and that person had to sign a release before they'd shoot any film). So a lot of the bar shots are "staged" (which we all knew anyways). He (my coworker) was so not impressed! <grin>

Very interesting Costa! How are the kitties?

Kitties are fine. Costa has forgiven me for dragging him to the doc today. They are both milling around cause they think it's time for dinner! Like, they couldn't stand to skip a meal! (Costa weighs 15 and half pounds... he's in great shape!)

Could Frankie have been any more adorable with those cats-eye glasses and her schoolgirl outfit??

The girl is Korean, not Chinese.

Yes, it does heat up next week. Wonder if they insist on the cops signing releases first???

I am so pleased to actually see a RW cast taking their jobs seriously. I supposed it is boring, but at least it doesn't aggravate me so much that I won't watch. Watching them drink till 6 a.m. makes me feel soooooo old.

ok, one more time since my whole post got erased

WHAT CAN I SAY EXCEPT I WAS CRACKING UP THE WHOLE TIME!!

That has to be one of, if not THE, best RW episode ever!! I was laughing out loud the whole time.. can you get any better scenario then Brad walking pass Robin in the police car, Robin being driven away, Brad arrested.. people thinking Robin is still at the club until she calls from jail sobbing at 2am, half the house drunk.. geez..

not that being in jail is funny but that is just too too classic...definiyely will be in the record books..i hope it was the weekend and they dont have work to worry about :-)

and while it was definitely battery, unless we werent shown the tape, there is no wau Robin scratched that guy on the nack of the neck... but do they really want to show the vourt the actual tape, since its proof of battery.. we just have to see how it all turns out but that guy definitely hurt his creditibility in saying more than actually happened, assuming it was just what we saw...

i can NOT wait for next week

Either that guy was a big baby or is trying to get money from somewhere, having a girl arrested for punching a guy 1 time in the arm for verbally harrassing her and another girl is ridiculous. I agree unless there is more to it than shown the guy saying something about scratches he could be burned also for exaggerating what she did. Don't get me wrong she should not have hit him , but feel this was ridiculous.
I am glad though that finally these spoiled drinking brats they are constantly
showing on these Mtv are getting arrested and not away with everything. MTV likes to show these Diary and real life, teen pregnacy , prison etc and they show these Real world , road world drinking have a good time party not to mention underage drinking. I always thought it was hypocritical.

I thought Robin in the police car and Brad walking by was funny too. Also hilarious that the verbal fight was over his hair line and he is telling the cop , like he would be sympathic and understanding. "Oh well the dude laughed at your premature baldness here let me take the cuffs off and go whoop butt"

Just read an article, She went back to confront the guy in the bar (marine) he turned his back to her she scratched him. The he called the cops , so of course more to the story, she pleaded guilty got 3 yrs probation and Mtv of course recorded the court proceedings . sure that smoking gun will have the police report soon.

That was one of the best, if not the best, Real Worlds of all time. I do wonder though how much the cameras being there impacted the situation. I doubt that the marine would have called the cops on Robin if she wasn't on the show. Then you have got the police who are probably jealous because they never got to be on COPS arresting Brad for being drunk in public. You could sit outside any bar on a weekend night and arrest most of the people coming out of it for the same thing.
Also, I wonder if production gave a heads up to the bouncer about the fake IDs. I could just see people giving the producers trouble for knowingly let them break the law like that.

I agree about it being one of the best shows yet. The guy only called the cops because he wanted his air time. All these people were giving the Real Worlders a hard time because they were on tv. I wouldn't go around heckling them. And the cops....they got their airtime too, didn't they? They didn't go talk to the other drunks who were heckling Brad and Randy, did they? Granted, Brad was making an ass out of himself but the thing with Robin, come on now! That guy was much bigger than her and he could have just let it slide. We all need our 15 minutes, I guess.

Lurkin, thanks for the info. It seemed ridiculous that Robin could get arrested with $8,000 bail just for a little punch to the arm, so it's good to know there was more to it, although that guy is a total idiot who got her arrested, I felt so badly for her, how scary.

As for Brad being arrested that was RIDICULOUS! I mean, he wasn't even cursing, he just said a little something and they cuff him and take him in? insane, I was really annoyed by that especially when the cops saw how they were being heckled, and like you said Mamie, why did the other guys get off scott free? everyone should've been arrested then.

I love Jacquees! (I will end every post like that, lol)...

I know Laura, he was so cool about it! He was making me laugh! And honestly, Frankie needs to lay off the drinking if she wants to keep her boyfriend.

I am very glad to see a non-sterotypical black male on this show who actually looks like he cares about these people. He seems highly intelligent and rational. I am a black male myself and have grown tired watching the problems that go on that are attributed to race. I'm speaking of Jacquees of course. LOL
