Well FINALLY Leah did something wrong. I don't get annoyed with folks easily, but she always seemed to be a bit too critical for my tastes.

I loved how Leah went to CT after the fight w/ the other roomies. Then later CT was saying how he didn't mind being a substitute friend, kinda sweet.

Looks like there's a major rift now b/w Leah and everyone else, I'd say this season is better than Vegas but still lacking big time. I think the days of reality shows where they do nothing are over, we need challenges or some kind of twist to keep us interested.

I thought it was ironic that after all the CT bashing he was eventually her shoulder to cry on!

I've actually liked this season quite a lot - much, much more than Vegas.

I cut Leah a lot of slack - she was unlikable before but I could see that she was operating from insecurity. But her telling her friend about how much everyone supposedly hated CT - while he was sitting RIGHT THERE - that was really ugly.

Just the fact that CT was able to be nice to her after that, shows who the better person is.

Yeah, that's why I like CT, despite all the issues that the roomates seem to have with him at times, I think he's a decent enough guy.

I dunno Laura, the interaction between people is still what draws me to all of these shows. I hope the Real World always stays with their format, no need for them to run an obstacle course or eat a bug as far as I'm concerned. :)

Leah has always been way to critical. I think you need to come into this opportunity with an open mind and have the time of your life. She's rude. I read that Adam said that he is closest to Leah now that the show is over which I find very interesting. And Mallory says that she is seeing Ace now. She's been to see him a few times. He says they are just friends though. Interesting...

I really like CT too. I know he's done a few insensitive things that angered the girls but I honestly do not think he means any harm. I think he's a genuinely nice guy who just needs to mature. I was amazed when Leah went to cry on his shoulder such a short time after yelling in the bar about how all the roommates hate him. Wow. It looks like there is more to come by the previews. It seems that Ace is sick of all the bickering and anger.

I missed the last episode. Can anyone tell me exactly what it was that Leah did? I saw just a few minutes of the end and it appeared that Mallory and Simon where the most angry with her. I was surprised because I thought Leah and Simon had gotten really close while on their trip.

they said she was loud and they were knocking her for being mean to CT inthis club incident.

Here is my peeve with Leah. Mallory is afraid of Leah. Leah has a very domineering personality and at times a can be "mean-spirited". Mallory is still young and definitely not confrontational. Leah sees this as weak so she hones in on this insecure side of Mallory and verbally abuses her.

Leah can't get away with this attitude with Christina, Ace, Adam and Simon. She does use it on CT though. However, a few of the others have seen this in Leah and are coming to Mallory's defense. As they should.

Leah asks why Mallory is afraid of her, yet she knows the answer to this question already. Leah intimidates people with her snide remarks, anger and put-downs. Hopefully Leah will see her true self while watching this show and make some changes. I also think there is some jealousy involved on Leah's part towards Mallory.

Avrey, I'm glad you posted all that. It's precisely what I was thinking.

Leah bugs the heck out of me. Every thing that Avery says is true. But then, she'll come out and sencerely say she wants to change. I think she will learn from this experience. I think she doesn't like all these characteristics, but they are part of her, and it will take time to change. Tonya from Chicago made a concerted effort to change. If Tonya can change, so can Leah.

Leah bugs me, blowing off Simons' opinions like that. And she even thought Saddam Hussein blew up the World Trade Center. That's just ig'nant. Flat out ig'nant.

Bastable, LOL about Leah....my daughter and I were yelling at the T.V. that he (Sadam Hussien) didn't blow up the Twin Towers. Leah kept saying, "how many more buildings does he have to blow up"? "How many more people does he have to kill"?

I've read that upwards of 70% of American's still believe that Sadam Hussien was responsible for 9/11. Evil tyrant? Yes! World Trade Center bombings? No! How did everyone get Usama/Taliban/Afghanistan confused with Iraq/Sadam?

I don't know what to feel for Ace. On the one hand I feel bad for him. He hates the drama, the girls are b!tching at him and yet he is a big time whiner and a slob. My husband thinks kicking the clothes in the closet wasn't such a bad idea. As for Leah's wash, I did take some perverse pleasure in her "shrunken clothes". Guess Ace didn't want to be in the dog house anymore. Nice move Ace.

I never thought about that cliotheloe! But the previews do show CT swinging punches at Adam and if I'm not mistaken they do kick people off if they get violent. We will see I guess. I suppose that Adam will have at least some say in the whole situation, as to whether or not CT is forced to leave.

I think he pushed Adam. It did look like he hit some stranger though.

Oh no! You aren't serious about CT possibly being expelled, are you? What nastier side of him could we see? I thought we had seen it all!

I found CT obnoxious at first, but then I started to like him! He does what I would love to see Abe do to those girls. LOL! I normally don't grow fond of Chris' but this Chris is an exception. He's too funny.

I like how he's the only person who cared to say (paraphrasing) that he hoped everything was solved diplomatically and war avoided. I didn't think of him as someone with a soft heart, but that statement made me think maybe he does have a soft heart after all.

As for Abe, I don't really like him. I also would rather see him stand up to those girls. However, I was really impressed that he did something so sweet (i.e., making their beds, cleaning their rooms, dropping them notes and flowers). That was sooooooooo sweet. Those girls need to grow up and stop PMSing all day.

Cliotheleo, are you serious that the roommates didn't experience anti-American sentiment? You mean the commentator was incorrect when he said they did? :Q

Lovedana, lol! Whenever I read your posts, I am usually in agreement with you.

CT is my favorite. I didn't like him at first but he has really grown on me. I thought the thing with the tulips and him taking credit for them was hilarious! Who could blame him. I thought it was ridiculous they got so mad at him about that. The girls have no sense of humor.

The whole season he has worked so hard on changing and getting along with everyone, even though the girls are just so mean to him. He even had a little book to write things down in it and talked to his boss about women.

I like Abe the least out of the guys. He can't stand getting in trouble and people being mad at him, but he certainly has no problem being an instigator and getting CT in trouble with the girls, among other reasons.

Q? When you guys mention "Abe" are you talking about Adam or Ace? I'm thinking Ace but I haven't seen the episode yet so I'm not sure.

oops! Sorry! I meant Ace.

I think Adam is sweet, also.

By the way, you'll notice that whenever they're at the Frommer's offices, there are big covers of magazines propped up all over the room that say "Budget Travel" on them, plus cute bucket hats with the logo on them, and post-its... has anyone ever bought this magazine before? I think it's really cool, the magazine's totally awesome and has incredible deals in it--- I just never expected to see it on Real World.

I love the day my Budget Travel magazine arrives! I sit right down and start daydreaming! In 2001 on a tip from Budget Travel on the spur of the moment a friend and I went to China for about $1100 each (round trip air from Boston, all hotels, meals, guides, entrance fees to many places, etc.) with China Focus tours. It was great.

I'd love a chance to work for them! Wonder if they need any senior citizens to review tropical islands for them?
