Clio. I'm with on most accounts (I differ in that Theo is not my fav. But he is making his way up! He seems very loving. Even though he still gets bad marks cuz of his homophobia and hypocrasy.) I am very tired of that necklace too!

Whowhere-I agree about Aneesa. It is harrassment whether she is gay or not. I really don't get how she could walk around like that in front of cameras.

I think it is sexual harrassment and I don't mean the walking around naked, I mean the specific comments about Tonya's anatomy.. that would be like a straight guy saying "what a nice p&ssy you have". But yeah, it would be harrassment from a straight woman too, but not as threatening.

And yes!! That necklace just screams out to be
destroyed :)

Theo isn't in the image of angry black man.. he's being the image of "playah" black man and the image of realworld housemate who feels he/she
owns the place and can run rampant over the other's feelings..

I'm puzzled how they shot that footage of him and his homies at the airport; this was post 9/11 and
I just can't see that stuff being tolerated, makes me think MTV set the whole thing up :(

Aneesa's not only harrassing but she is quite aware that she is and is purposely trying to push Tonya's buttons all the time.

A couple of things:

Clio, the "rock star" was Todd somebody or other from Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Not exactly A list.

I'm not sure if Cara actually slept with him. She said she made out with him, and made some sort of reference to having his testosterone all over her hand, or something like that. What that means, I don't think I want to know.

Seamonkey, I don't think the airport footage was post 9/11 - it's my understanding that MTV is planning on covering 9/11 in an upcoming episode (I think that's Aneesa's birthday, btw).

As for sexual harrassment, while Aneesa's behavior could be interpreted that way, I think it's a stretch. I certainly don't think Aneesa has any sexual interest in Tonya - she just likes to make her uncomfortable. Aneesa has a mean streak, as well as a gross streak. I do not like her.

Aneesa uses nature as her excuse. She insists that because her nakedness is "natural" she has no problems displaying it to others and, because it is natural, others should just accept it.

Whether her nakedness is construed as sexual harrassment or not, whether she's lesbian or straight, if it offends one other person in that house, male or female, she is obliged to put on some clothes and keep them on. Does this girl know the meaning of common courtesy and respect for others?

Maybe someone should inform her that there are places for people with her inclinations, places where she can be as natural as she'd like, 24 hours a day. They're called nudist colonies where even full-time nudists realize their natural state is to be kept within their own boundaries, where everyone is accepting of it and noone is offended.

The naked body is natural, agreed, but flaunting it to millions of unsuspecting strangers has nothing to do with nature and everything to do with exhibitionism.

2 Points.

1. Taping of this started in July. Don't know when it stopped, but I think that airport scene was pre-9/11.

2. I think it is still considered sexual harrassment even if the person doing it has no sexual interest. (A little confusing, but if I said to someone, nice d!ck, it would be considered SH, even if I didn't "want" the guy I said it to. Does that make sense?)

Yeah.. what Julie said bat and yes, it makes sense to me.

I also agree that Aneesa has a mean streak a mile wide.

I tend to be pretty thick skinned and, personally, only consider sexual harassment if an ultimatum is involved "you won't get that raise unless you sleep with me," that kind of thing. Otherwise I just consider that kind of behaviour annoying. However I know other people feel differntly and I respect that. ......... However, I DO consider constantly being forced to look at Theo's necklace as "visual harassment." (ha ha)

LOL!@ Guinevere and thanks for the info. .......... Yeah, the footage was before 9/11 because of all the warm clothes and what I'm assuming to be a kids program in the summer that they're working for. Theo's brothers DEFINATELY would not have been able to do that now. There are soldiers walking around airports with loaded machine guns ready to shoot the first person that moves the wrong way. And I say that as a proud recipient of a random search. :)

Plus, I think when Kyle picked Keri up from the airport on the last episode, he was back in the gate area.

Seems odd that the producers wouldn't say something though. Especially after the discalimers they ran over and over and over during the New York season just because they were about to air a random shot of the World Trade Center.

I just thought I'd chime in here with my 2 cents worth re Aneesa's behavior..
How much annoying behavior must a person accept?
and does one have to??? Man,listening to Aneesa say things like<paraphrasing here->> "I was raised to love my body,not feel ashamed to show it off..blah blah blah.." Shame on Aneesa!!
Will it really kill her to consider the feelings of others??? She is,without a doubt,"acting out",screaming for attention(as Tonya seems to be with her hypocondria??).It is VERY obvious Aneesa gets some crazed sadistic joy out of taunting(read:HARASSING) Tonya with her sexual comments.UNWANTED sexual comments.Maybe when she views herself on tv,she can learn from this experience?

I didn't mean to come off sounding so angry in my post-I think that's why I don't post much over here-these roomates are certainly something else!

Its the lack of respect that gets to me.

Well,okay Seamonkey! See ya next Tuesday night!..Unless I'm re-watching the Osbournes episode,rewinding my favorite scenes _over and over_ again! You know how it is?
About your question regarding webtv..I can't download anything:( I know there is a plus model and that has certain capabilities for capturing images.I love my webtv but I just know I'll eventually break down and buy a computer at some point.

I saw the May issue of Playboy magazine and indeed Jisela, Veronica, Beth and Flora were in it.

It was hysterical. Jisela does not look like Jisela at all. She is a blonde now, with really curly hair.

There was only 1 picture each of Flora and Beth.

The rest were all Veronica and Jisela jumping up and down on a bed (I think) taking off each other's clothes and then them in a shower together. It looked they were really enjoying it.

Hi

Anyone out there know if there will be a new epi tonight? It says there is a "Hook up special", whatever that is? Anyone, anyone???

I have a bad feeling, Julie.. usually the new episode of RW is at 10pm so I'd guess maybe they are introducing some new show, Hook Up, and relying on the RW and Osbournes viewers to watch it.. we'll know more tonight.

Yesterday, the promos showed today's RW as HookUp which will review the various relationships during different seasons of RW and where they are now. Didn't sound like a new episode would be aired. I think they are trying to make this season last a long time for some reason.

Oh, well that is odd, but makes sense in a RW sorta way.

I also saw a promo last night? that I think it is ET that will have Cara on to tell the world she isn't anorexic..

I think tonight.

Grooch thanks for the link. The RW hook ups is starting in minutes. Make sure you all watch, it should be good to see who has hooked up. :)

Cara was on ET tonight for about 45 seconds, if that.. she said "Hollywood is a disappearing act".. wha???

And they flashed a bunch of bikini shots, she is in Stuff magazine.. and she said "I know I don't have an eating disorder".
That was about it.

But the Osbournes, who got a few minutes just before, all looked much healthier.

On Grooch's link, there are 7 people pictured across the top. Is the last one on the right supposed to be Cara? All the others look about right, but no way (in my opinion) does that one look like Cara. Any other opinions? And which issue of Stuff is Cara in?
