Kizz | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 07:06 pm     Oh haha, I forgot that Keri called him a "Man-gina" on last week's show. |
Kizz | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 07:19 pm     I hope that if Cara wants to pursue a career in "performance" that she auditions better than that weak faux-protest to going into Jareds apartment (tip: pretend to be conflicted for slightly longer than that nanosecond outside his door, dear) |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 10:08 pm     I just love Theo. Ok, had to get that off of my chest, I feel better now. One question. Do we know who pays the phone bills? Is it the housemates or the production company? I'm just curious about Tonya having to work so much to pay medical bills (which is understandable) yet POSSIBLY wracking up a big long-distance phone bill calling Walla Walla all the time. That wouldn't make sense to me. This confrontation between Theo and Mr. Tonya (I'm sorry, I can't remember his name) next week should be interesting! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 11:05 pm     Since they record and share so many of the phone calls, I'd hope the production company pays for the calls. But, who knows? It may cost Kyle more to call in state than for to call Washington. |
Bree_In_Va | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:04 am     re: phone calls--I remember way back in London they actually had a big fight about the phone bills--but back then the show was cast with young professionals (some as old as *gasp* 25!) and that was before they had to get group jobs and stuff. I bet BMP pays for them now. Or she calls collect to Justin. |
Max | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 10:54 am     I have to say that there's one area I identify with Tanya on. In my freshman year of college, I was the only one in my dorm who had to work. My roommates and friends were always running off to fun things on the weekends and in the afternoons that I would have LOVED to go to, but couldn't because I had to work. My folks couldn't afford to support me 100% and I didn't want them to, anyway. I know exactly how it feels to both want time alone and feel left out of all the fun. I thought the other roommates' comments about that part of Tanya's "choice" were immature and way out of line. Especially from Aneesa. What a spoiled little brat she is! All that said, in general, Tanya drives me nuts. Lots of kids come from foster homes and don't use it as an excuse for everything in their lives. I wish she'd get over herself. And, by the way, if she is so happy with who she is and how her life is, WHY did she audition for this show? Isn't the whole point to discover new things and maybe grow a little bit as a human being? If she's so darned homesick, then she should just go back to Walla Walla (they make it look like she does, but she won't stay there) and her precious Justin and live her perfect little small-town life out of the camera's eye. She personifies victim mentality in many ways and it's sickening to watch, IMHO. And I agree with Clio, I'm liking Theo more and more. He's growing up and maturing a bit through this experience and that's what it's all about. I'm sure that he and I would disagree on a lot of stuff, but that's okay, too. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 10:58 am     The London cast was heavily populated with slackers.. of course some issues were about non-citizens and work permits, but some seemed to just sit and watch tv. Sharon was on the phone all the time, of course she was one of the "locals" but still was a chatty cathy. Bree. right! I do remember that their phone was even shut off at one point. ==== Last night's show.. ho hummm.. Aneesa really does not get this real life, paying bills, having a job that you don't just blow off thing, does she? While obviously Tonya is quite good at stereotyping and mocking her roomates, Kyle had a point in the car, nothing seems to reach the height of the "pig-pile on Tonya" atmosphere. Admittedly spoiled girl Aneesa, who just can't motivate herself to.. gasp.. WORK.. is pretty vitriolic about what it often is like being a foster kid.. so because this person didn't have her birth info, or has health issues or actually may try to pay bills, let's mock her. I haven't seen Tonya getting wasted or acting slutty or peeing in a dark alley .. she does whine on the phone, but so does Aneesa.. woohoo. Sorry, last night's show was just mostly irritating. Next week looks like showdown between Justin and Theo. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 11:07 am     Max.. yes, I agree, Tonya plays the "victim" role to the hilt. I get the feeling that Justin also plays his "white knight" role a bit too well .. It would be neat to see people who grow.. Theo seems to be, hard to tell.. Cara and Aneesa actually describe themselves well but don't really seem to change. Chris holds back but it may be what he must do to deal with his AA issues.. and he's also working and not always taking impromptu trips. Keri seems to feel hopeless and helpless in some ways and Kyle, well.. he's convinced he knows all. |

Zeyna | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 07:10 pm     Hmmm... she's not asking for funds, but those who are "deeply committed" to paying her med bills are given an email address. I don't really know what to make of that statement. On a different note, I had no idea she had a boob job. |
Grooch | Saturday, June 01, 2002 - 05:13 am     From the Chicago Sun Times: 'Real World' protest case canceled May 30, 2002 BY LUCIO GUERRERO STAFF REPORTER Charges against a group of people arrested last year while protesting the taping of MTV's "Real World" series in Wicker Park were dropped Wednesday. Prosecutors said they had a problem producing their witnesses: Most of them--the crew and youthful cast of the popular show--live in California. Seventeen people had been arrested June 21 at a protest in front of the house where the show was being taped. The neighborhood residents and affordable-housing advocates complained that the people who give the area its appeal--the artists and hipsters--are being forced out of the community as gentrification pushes up property values and rents, and that shows like "Real World" only speed that process. Most of the charges had been dropped earlier, but nine of the 17 were still facing misdemeanor charges Wednesday. The only charge left for Cook County Circuit Court Judge Mark J. Ballard to rule on Wednesday was obstruction of a police officer. He found that defendant not guilty. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, June 03, 2002 - 05:33 pm     I was in Chicago this past weekend. The Real World house is one block from where I used to live. The house is currently being gutted and being rebuilt for some other purpose -- not clear what purpose. I had lunch at 'feast' which was good; the northside cafe is still going strong, too. It's been ten years since I lived in that neighborhood and the gentrification has continued so that it doesn't really resemble what it was. |
Squaredsc | Monday, June 03, 2002 - 06:46 pm     tonya had a boob job?? was this before the show? oops have to read further up the post. |
Squaredsc | Monday, June 03, 2002 - 06:55 pm     ok back to my original question? when did she get the boob job? before or after taping the show? i went to the link on mtv.com but she doesn't really say(or it went over my head) oh well guess it doesn't really matter, but wonder if the fact that she's working all the time is to also help pay for the boob job? i know that's not covered under insurance?? i don't know, just a thought. but the theo vs ms. tonya looks interesting. oh, just saw one of the shows over the weekend where they went to cara's house? well i thought her former boyfriend was FINE. indeed i wouldn't let that hunk out of my sight, and she is busy screwing every man she meets(i know an exageration) but did i mention he is FINE. if i was 12 yrs younger and a few shades lighter....ok now im sounding like a dirty old woman.  |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 12:15 am     Before, evidently.. I'd be willing to bet that the boyfriend paid for the boobjob. I think Cara's too afraid she'll miss out on something if she has an actual relationship.. or deep down feels unworthy of this guy.. hard to say. But she's out in California seeking her fame and fortune, apparently along with most of the NY cast. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 05:27 pm     Look at Tonya in the opening shot. First time I saw it, I said to myself- "she had her boobs done"!! I'd bet a paycheck that it was before. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 07:00 pm     Those who are fascinated by boob jobs will undoubtedly tune in when the the Anna Nicole Nicholas Show starts.. now THAT's a boob with a boob job... |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 07:35 pm     Theo said in last week's episode (May 30) that Tonya had had a "boob job." Now did anyone understand who this Darren guy is? I mean, I understand that he manages her money, but what is their relationship if she has to lie about Justin being in the house? She did say he was like a father to her, and I would sure lie to my father to keep him from knowing my boyfriend was staying at my house. ......... But then again, my father doesn't call "12 times a day" (which I think may have been an exxageration on Justin's part.) Either way, apparently Darren calls a lot. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 10:27 pm     So Tonya's "ideal" man isn't.. Darren is a photographer.. hmm maybe he was the donor of the boobjob. Theo has Chris' back but stabs Tonya's. Everyone loves to snipe behind backs.. Chris is an artist.. who knew?? yawnnn. |
Muse | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 12:01 am     Bleh. Tonya claims she was sick since she was a kid in foster care, yet apparently felt that fake boobs were a wise investment. And now she's accepting donations from strangers (viewers) who want to help pay her medical bills. Very sad. I didn't get the whole Darren thing, either. Seems a bit strange to me. Especially when she mentioned he was a photographer, and when she claimed she was alone in the loft when Justin was really there. I thought Theo was a bit over the top in the car with Tonya, but I find it hard to blame him. Tonya overreacted as usual, too...and what's the deal with her saying she didn't come there to get yelled at by "some black man"? Excuse me?? This cast is pretty unlikable. Kyle is way too arrogant and busy playing up to the cameras (did enjoy the evil Tonya rap, though ), Cara seems to be the same way, Theo seems a bit hypocritical, and Aneesa's just gross. Chris is just...there. And Keri's storyline really just seems to revolve around the Kyle/Keri thing, which got old fast. Eh - maybe next season will be better. Probably not. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 11:12 am     I don't like how they just dropped the kyle/keri thing. I'd like to know if they are friends or what. Too hard to tell if there is good or bad feeling between them now. I give Theo one point for accepting Chris as his gay friend. But he is still an idiot in my book. He was really immature in the van. BTW, where was Kyle when they were late and in the van? I will give Theo another point for taking the heat off of himself (and Aneesa) for being late when he deflected the attention off of him being late and put it on Tonya. Tonya was stupid for not just ignoring Theo. She totally fell into his "web"! I think they should not even try to wake T&A up, they should just leave and let them take their own heat. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 03:19 pm     Just found this snippet on another site and wanted to share... Kyle, Keri, & Cara are eating dinner first. Cara eyes the dessert tray as if to say, "What will look best coming back up later?" |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 05:32 pm     Muse, did you catch the part about "I can't go on the trip which just so happens to be the same time my boyfriend is coming into town because the doctor says I'm too feeble to go, but I'm just going to ignore that he ALSO said not to boink my boyfriend." (Paraphrasing) Yeah, I love the way she made the "b*tch" comment into a racial thing. Boyfriend didn't help, "maybe that's how your people talk where you come from, but that's now how we talk where I come from." They BOTH acted like 3 year olds in the van and I think Justin summed the whole thing up, "you just need to not talk to him." That was his response to Tonya's "I really don't want to tell you what Theo did to me so you won't beat him up ...... BUT THIS IS WHAT HE DID!!!!" (again, paraphrasing) And I usually try to be a Pollyanna, "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all," but that song they did in the van was HILLARIOUS! |
Magikearth | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 03:10 pm     Okay,going out on a limb here...LOL Does anyone agree with me when I say that Cara and Aneesa have pretty decent singing voices? I won't feel offended If noone else agrees with this opinion,just putting it out there to see what everyone else thinks about this. Their behaviors are a different topic,of course! Feel free to disagree,question my sanity,or totally ignore me altogether! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 05:02 pm     Magi.. I was impressed!! |
