Real World...Tired???
Jombie | Thursday, August 10, 2000 - 07:54 am     I have noticed that this topic is painfully empty...is it because this year's cast of the Real World is too boring and obnoxious...(Melissa) OR are the other reality shows besting this seemingly tired original!??!?? |
Melissa | Saturday, August 12, 2000 - 12:08 am     RRNO SUCKS! Julie is the obnoxious one, actually they all pretty much are. Can't stand any of them. Look at Julie's site... yuck http://www.planetjulie.com |
Dangergirl | Monday, August 14, 2000 - 02:01 pm     They try too hard to recreate dramatic situations with the casting now. They have their token religious people, their African-Americans concerned with racism, and their homosexual. Stir and poof! Instant screaming and yelling? They hope. I also think it goes down hill every season because the diversity is decreasing in spite of the formula casts. They used to be older and have their own careers/pursuits outside of the house. Now they are all under 23 and most are just spoiled college kids taking semesters off to party in an expensive house in an "exotic" locale. I'd like to see them revert to the old way of doing it (see NY, LA, SF) or just call it a day. |
Rollerboy | Thursday, August 17, 2000 - 10:02 am     I agree, RW has become so predictable. They do just seem to cast to sterotypes anymore. Oh well, mabey they will do better next season. I will still watch just because I love to hate (not in a bad way) those 'crazy kids'. Just checked Julie's site. Wow! I feel like I 'totally' dunked my head into a 'ton' of cotton candy. |

Memyselfi | Saturday, September 23, 2000 - 08:26 am     The show is so tired!! I live near New Orleans, and it was very exciting for it to be filmed here, and to watch it in the beginning, but I haven't even attempted to watch the latest shows.. And Road Rules is worse!! Could they have found lamer people for that one?? It would be better with the BB people! LOL |
Rwsbetter | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 03:46 pm     I think the NO cast is okay. I find with the mediocre seasons, it's usually better to watch them in the marathon in the end of the season. RW is always brilliantly edited and watching in a marathon gives it a much better dramatic flow. London was, by general concensus, the worst season, but it doesn't look so bad in a marathon. FYI my favs (in order): NY Seattle Boston SF Hawaii LA London NO Miami (yuck!) Anyway, I'd be interested to hear more RW views from BB fans. |
Scribe | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:15 pm     RWS just what I think ... I still love the marathons ... I actually like Melissa and Jamie and Julie and Danny and would like to watch the Melissa and Jamie relationship ... but the idea of a 30minute (20min actually) "reality" show once a week doesn't do it for me anymore ... I want it longer and more often ... Thus I prefer the marathons and the life after RR shows ... but I still like the show ...never liekd the Road Rules (except that one in Europe with Blu or Blue). |
Misslibra | Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 04:25 am     No I don't think it tired. I like Melissa, and Julie, and Jamie. I like them all pretty much. Julie reminds me of a butterfly who just left her cocoon. I like also the fact that she seems to be very open minded, I like that the most about her. And Jamie is just a cutie. Melissa is funny. I wish that the next Real world they have, they could have live feeds 24/7. I bet we could get some interesting stuff on the live feeds if they had them. |
Hayworth | Wednesday, October 04, 2000 - 09:46 pm     RW feels just too packaged to me after BB. I'm sick of MTV's "coming-of-age" format where they show some little innocent (Julie) opening herself up to the world (that said, I like Julie). The people are OK, but the editing and musical cliches are tired. You've always got the loner like David isolating himself from the group while "Everybody Hurts" plays in the background. |
Ångel_Of_Music | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 09:15 am     Are Julie and Jamie going together in real life? I read this on some board this morning. Please oh please say this is just a rumor? YUCK! |
Winnie | Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 02:55 pm     I agree with Dangergirl. The early seasons were the best, and it's just been going downhill since then. It's amazing to see the difference between the San Francisco and London casts, which were consecutive seasons. The San Fran people were a lot older, and thus were involved in more interesting, adult experiences, like their careers. The younger casts *do* seem like spoiled brats...I'm all for having a troublemaker or two in the group, but the entire groups these days seem really immature and silly. I wish they'd go back to having people in their mid-20's, rather than people around the age of 20. It's only a few years, but there's a huge difference in personality and maturity level. |

Fruitbat | Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 03:11 pm     Jana ahhhhhhhhhh ha! so this is where you are. My first experience with RW was watcing the re-runs of the New Oleans. I agree Dangergirl......it was very canned. I wanted to smack Julie and I'm sick of the edgy black male. On second thought, I pretty much wanted to smack everyone. When does the season start for the next one and where will it be located? I'm willing to check it out in hopes of a different casting formula. |
