Solidsnake | Thursday, February 21, 2002 - 11:03 am     i missed the show.. what happ ?? |
Madelane | Tuesday, February 26, 2002 - 10:21 pm     Anyone know why it was a re-run tonight? |
Julieboo | Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 06:32 am     yes, why???? |
Max | Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 09:08 am     Seemed odd, didn't it? WOuld have made sense during the Olympics, but after??? |
Madelane | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 02:13 pm     Meanwhile, I just read a synopsis of an episode I never saw, where Chris goes on his date with Kyle and takes all his housemates but Theo. Did anyone else catch this? I'm confused. |
Julieboo | Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 02:25 pm     Yes, that was the last new episode when they went to that gay/human rights dinner. |
Angelnikki | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 06:09 pm     yeah Theo didnt want to go because he says being gay is a SIN. I cant stand Theo. He had to call his dad to ask him if it was a sin or not. LOL I mean, come on now, does every single black man on the real world shows have to be such a##holes? i take that back, not ALL of them were but look at even the rr/rw challenge and Stephen. I think he is just gross and im glad hes gone too. Dont get me wrong, im not predjudice or homophobic. I have gay friends and I think black men are gorgeous(some of them) but am i wrong to come up with this assumption about them on the rw shows?? Does anyone else think the same?? They present themselves badly and make themselves look bad. I dont like Tonya. Did anyone see the episode where she was sitting in the hottub with Chris and she said something like she was fat then she laughed and said, did I just say that, some girls would kill to look like this!! WHAT??? Is she full of herself or what>??>?????? |
Grooch | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 06:52 pm     Actually, I'm liking Theo more and more as the show goes on. He is doing great with working with the kids and designing the mural. When he acts like a jerk, at least he thinks about what happens and calls his father for advice. So, the father is a bit off with some of his advice, but at least Theo is trying to get along. He did go and try to talk to Tonya after they had the fight. He did seem upset when he heard that tonya was afraid of him. (what ever did happen with that incident?) Theo has a lot of potential. |
Grooch | Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 07:01 pm     Angelnikki, I don't think the black men all make themselves out to look like assholes. I think the only one who did was Stephen, and he definitely has some personal issues in real life. And I still like him. (And don't forget that Puck is white. He was the biggest *sshole ever on the RW/RR shows.  |
Lurkin | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 06:53 am     I would have thought alot less of a person in Theo's case that says they are so against homosexuality and then gone on to the dinner anyway especially if he had made comments the whole time. I think Theo is doing right saying he doesnt agree with it and standing his ground . I dont think the others should condemn him for that. theo is definately a hypocrite. I loved how Theo validated the arguement I have with most men that men think that 2 men together is hideous , 2 good looking women together is a turn on, 2 ugly women together is gross. |
Grooch | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 07:12 am     Lurkin, I was laughing about the lesbian thing too. Plus the fact that homosexuality is a sin so he is against it. But isn't premarital sex a sin also? I would bet he is not a virgin. He is a hypercrite. But he is a homophobe, but it seems like he is starting to come around and getting used to the idea that homosexuality does exist and not every gay man is going to jump his bones. He is using the sin excuse for his own fear. I think the more he is exposed to Chris and Aneesa, the better he will get about it. |
Grooch | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 07:15 am     And what is up with Aneesa and that crazy girl with the girlfriend? I would have thought she was smarter than that to stay involved with her. But next week it looks like they get into a fight and someone may be arrested. I wish Aneesa just dropped her right away and never talked to her again. I am sure the girlfriend is getting a good laugh watching these shows and seeing how upset Aneesa was getting. |
Angelnikki | Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 05:08 pm     grooch, dont forget david from season 2 rw and kevin from season 1 of rw. those guys were perfect examples of a$$holes. your right puck was the worst worst worst of all rw shows. grooch, he didnt call his father for advise about tonya. he first said im gonna say what im gonna say and thats it, if she dont like it then oh well. Kyle had a talk with him and then he went to apologize to her. whats the deal with when he had all those people over in the middle of the night then when Chris told him he didnt appreciate it(in a nice way) Theo jumped all over him and said"Theo is one guy, Theo cant watch everyone"!!! well i say to that, Theo should have only had as many people as he could WATCH over to the loft then Theo wouldnt have had problems!!!!!!! What a jerk! i cant stand him. Kyle is my favorite, hes so sweet. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 07:56 pm     One positive thing, finally, is that the project with the kids gives Theo a chance to shine and use his skills, and amazingly, so far, the group isn't arguing about it.. No one is trying to over control it.. all of them seem to really enjoy the kids.. This may not last but it is pretty cool, imo. (in Boston they had one of them (Montana?) letting kids drink andsome of them slacking badly in re the kids.. so far this time, so good. |
Angelnikki | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 04:34 pm     YOUR RIGHT SEAMONKEY, HOPEFULLY THEO WILL BE GOOD AND NOT MESS THIS UP. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 03:09 pm     This is from EW.com Who Cara's? A one-night stand and a nasty girl fight. Cara does the deed, while Aneesa gets into a -slap with her soon-to-be ex, Veronica, explains Josh Wolk DJORDGE PHONE HO Cara was thrilled when her one-night stand called to say I love you... oh no, sorry that was Stevie Wonder Remember Goofus and Gallant from Highlights magazine, the cartoon which illustrated the right way to do things (Gallant's approach) and the wrong (Goofus')? Well, the March 12 ''Real World'' episode spotlighting Cara and Aneesa was like watching Goofus and Goofus. They both handled major issues (relating to their parents and to romantic relationships) differently... and both tactics were completely unhealthy in wholly divergent ways. Let's start with their parental issues. Cara preferred to treat her doctor dad with unquestioning dedication, even in the face of downright weirdness. Cara's parents are not divorced, but her father has twice moved away from the family to a different state for a new job, and the second time came after the family relocated to be with him. Cara doesn't seem to think this is in any way weird. In her mind, her pop was just a victim of the itinerant nature of endocrinology, going where the cases are; the Tom Joad of hormone anomalies, if you will. However, not everything slips by Cara: She did voice a suspicion that maybe -- just maybe -- her father was somehow tied to her need to always have a boyfriend. Let's see... someone whose father is constantly running from her family ends up constantly clinging to men. What a stumper! Poor blind Cara. I'm guessing that when she takes a Rorschach test, she sees happy bunnies in every ink blot. (That said, I suspect that when Cara watched this episode and saw Theo teach her dad that he was a ''baller,'' she may have experienced quite the sudden breakthrough.) Aneesa takes an entirely different tack with her mom: all squabbling all the time. One can't really put the blame on her; her mother is usually the catalyst for every argument, judging all of Aneesa's moves in a raspy voice. (Did Aneesa's mom inherit Selma Diamond's voice in an organ transplant?) Aneesa should realize that her mother is always going to be unpleasant and intolerant, and either stop calling or just not share her troubles. But in the same way that nothing makes her happier than having Veronica make her miserable, she gravitates to the phone when she's upset so her mother can make her feel worse. And then there are Cara and Aneesa's Goofus schools of relationships. Cara has had a string of steady boyfriends since she was 13. Even though she was attempting to live the single life, she still kept slipping back into cling mode. It began independently enough with a hook-up with Kyle's visiting college friend Djordje (what's up with that spelling? Were his parents freaks for phonetics?), all set to the tune of ''Real World: New Orleans'''s David modern classic, ''Come on Be My Baby Tonight,'' an inspired choice. Unlike her previous face-suckings, this liaison went all the way, and the way it was handled spotlighted an insidious ''Real World'' trend: Every season MTV creeps closer and closer to actually showing sex. It used to be they'd cut out after a hot tub session, then it moved to shooting people getting under the covers, and in this episode it went all the way to Djordje tearing open his condom (or ''kahnduhm'' as he'd spell it). One day in the not too distant future you'll see hardcore porn on ''MTV Cribs'' and you won't even blink. Djordje fled before morning, and Cara moped. Even though she stressed numerous times that it was a one-night stand, she couldn't grasp why he just left. Pop quiz, Cara: Which is the key word in the phrase ''one-night stand''? A hint: it is neither ''night'' nor ''stand.'' Finally, after being prodded by Kyle, a sheepish Djordje called her, understandably confused as to why he needed to check in with somebody who herself declared it an isolated incident. No doubt he was even more confused when she proudly declared that he was her first one-nighter, and then went on to tell him that he always had a ''sister, a friend, and someone who likes you'' in Chicago, and he should always come visit... which all sounds like ''Dear God, please be my boyfriend!'' to me. That sound you just heard was Djordje starting up the car and driving to Guam (er, Gwawym). Aneesa, on the other hand, also believes in keeping a mate around by clutching on to them, but while Cara's mating call is a needy coo, Aneesa's is the screamed word ''!'' Veronica was back, and even though Aneesa's roomies advised her against it, she gave li'l Gummo a second chance. Perhaps she was wooed by the deranged look in Veronica's eye and her oversized baseball cap, the combination of which made her look like that friendless kid on a fifth-grade field trip to the zoo who ends up being sent back to the bus after throwing rocks at the monkeys. Veronica ended the episode by picking a fight with a car full of women. Her preferred mode of brawling was mooning, flashing, and then dodging around the ensuing battle with a crazy grin on her face. I think she's been taking fight lessons from the ''Howard Stern Show'''s Beetlejuice. Aneesa finally broke up with Veronica and gave her a farewell ''!'' And so Cara and Aneesa both finished the episode alone but feeling strong: Cara for finding a loophole in the ''single and easy'' lifestyle choice (rationalizing that Djordje may someday come back and they'd be boyfriend and girlfriend); and Aneesa for getting rid of Veronica, even though she got rid of her last episode, too, and still looked like she wasn't convinced Veronics was demon-spawn. Goofus 2, Gallant zero. |
Max | Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 03:34 pm     That is hilarious! I haven't seen the episode yet, but I can't wait! |
Grooch | Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 04:06 pm     That describes the episode to a tee. Thanks, JB. |
Max | Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 08:35 pm     Watched my tape tonight. I have to wonder how Aneesa and Cara feel about the experience of watching this episode. With the roommates calling Cara a slut when she was in the hot tub with Djordje and with Aneesa looking like such an idiot with Veronica. I have to say that I am more and more impressed with Chris. He's quite mature and self-aware for his age. His talk with Aneesa about how she deserved better than Veronica and how she needed to love herself first and foremost was right on. Wish he'd have a similar heart-to-heart with Cara about how she's seeking daddy's love from every man she meets. I'm just surprised that she's not always looking for an older man. Her dad seems like a real jerk to me. Certainly no real man would act that way towards his family! |
Squaredsc | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 06:37 pm     just wondering this, if tonya has kidney stones why is she drinking a 2 liter soda right out of the bottle instead of water or cranberry juice?? |
Julieboo | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 07:11 pm     I don't know. Tonya is definitely my least favorite of the bunch! |
Julieboo | Tuesday, March 26, 2002 - 08:22 am     ...from another board (mighty big TV) Back at the loft, Chris, Kyle, Aneesa, and Keri step out of the elevator, carrying food. Kyle hugs a teary Tonya and asks how she's feeling. Tonya softly says that she's supposed to stay off her feet. As many people pointed out in the forums, she's also not supposed to drink soda, even though she just poured herself a huge glass of it. Kyle tells her to get off her feet, then, and pats her on the back. Tonya quickly tells him not to hit her back. Kyle apologizes. In an interview, Kyle says that his theory about Tonya's ailments is that missing Justin is a "catalyst for her condition." Seriously? Kyle did not blink once in that interview segment. It was scary. Tonya tells her roommates that she passed a few more stones while she was in the hospital, and that she has a bladder infection and a kidney infection. She also has the brain fever, and possibly the Ebola virus. And maybe AIDS. Chris asks why this keeps recurring. Tonya ignores him because it would mean admitting that she doesn't always follow doctors' orders, and thus she would have to take responsibility for this problem. Tonya says that they did a CAT scan and found five more kidney stones. Oh, bullshit. If she really had five more kidney stones, plus multiple infections, they would not have released her from the hospital. Tonya tells Chris that it feels like razors. I don't doubt that she has medical problems as well as mental problems. I just think she's exaggerating what is really wrong, and overdramatizing her condition for attention. |
Kizz | Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 07:20 pm     I have seriously had it with Kyle...guys like him with their mixed messages who act all surprised when the girls they are messing with get their feelings hurt..."I TOLD you I still have feelings for (insert other girls name here)" As if Keri only has herself to blame for the situation she's in. Be strong girl!!! Go out with another guy...or two. Take a page out of Cara's book!! Kyle will be punching a wall in no time!!!! Nice lake house tho'!! |
Julieboo | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:52 am     I agree Kizz. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 07:22 am     I hate to say it but Theo is, at the moment, emerging as one of the more stable of this group, and that is scary.. multiple drama queens (tonya, aneesa, Chris, Kyle, Cara, Keri).. Kyle just makes me want to puke!! What a total jerk.. and all about "memememe". And Chris.. too bad he runs from Kurt, or a relationship. And Cara listening to Kurt or others and even thinking of offering advice.. eeek. Aneesa.. I can see why her mom is frustrated.. it seems that her pattern is to get into a mess, whine and sigh about it, get some advice and then smirk and say, well, yeah, but I'm not going to listen (like, to her mom.. to Chris.. even Tonya) Keri plays the "no one can hurt me" but then at least she admits it. |
