Is Cara the one that went to LA to be a star? She does have a beautiful voice. I was surprised, cause it seems like that would have been brought up before now.

And I don't care how good Aneesa's voice is, she is always unattractive to me.

I was thinking the same thing about them watching the show now and seeing what jerks they all are. They should be embarrassed of their behavior. Did they not realize that all of their backstabbing and trash talking would be on television? They've said some pretty hurtful things about eachother- I hope they realize what they did/are doing to people by behaving that way.

I actually started to post this the other night then decided not to, but you're absolutely right.

From that article about the lawsuit being dropped in Chicago against the protesters, one reason given was that most of the cast was living in LA..
I think I read that Cara and Kyle were roomates, but.. I could be wrong..

This cast does seem to be outdoing most of the others in terms of trash talk about each other.

It is strange that the housemates didn't realize that the time will come when the show is aired and the editing department wouldn't spare anything.I wonder if they are all still friends after viewing this episode?

Theowl,maybe the editing department wanted to suprise us with their talent,so that we would be taken aback by it and think,"Wow! Who knew??"
I know that's how I felt! :)
BTW,Cara is the housemate who aspires to become a successful entertainer out in LA. She just might have a shot at it,I think!

Angel,I agree! Chris is a sweetie!
:) Chris:)
He seems like a real nice guy,the kind of person you can confide in for non-judgemental advice..he's always lending an ear and willing to listen to them.What a great friend he must be to those around him!

Chris is mentioned in an article in the current issue of Boston magazine, "40 Bostonians to Watch: Keep an Eye on These Up-and-Comers. They'll Have a Lot to Say about the Next Four Decades."

There's a small picture of him on page 91, and within the article it says: "Chris Beckman, 24, artist - Chances are, you've already been watching him_on MTV's The Real World: Chicago. Now Beckman is fending off groupies and creating and selling his abstract expressionist paintings at the South End's Bluebrick Studios."

It's nice to hear he's doing well.

magik, sorry im late, but i also liked cara/aneesa's duet. they sounded good, which is a welcome change from all of the studio voices that we have now.

Hootyhoot,Thanks for your post! It's great to hear he is doing well.Good for him!

Squardsc,no need to apologize,thanks for responding! :) It's cool that I'm not the only one who was impressed with their voices..if they ever decide to record a CD,I'd buy it! You're soooo right-they would be a welcome change from all the other singers on radio today.I wish them all the best with their music career!

I liked their voices too. (not sure I'd buy a CD though--then again I haven't bought a CD in years...)

Out of them all, Chris is my favorite. Here is my order of "likeabilty":
Chris
Keri
tied for 2nd to last place: Anessa & Kyle
tied for last place: Cara, Tonya & Theo
my list changes every week, though Chris & Keri have always stayed on top....and T&T have always been on bottom.

Oh,I forgot about that,Julieboo! Most people download/burn CDs today!
I think it would be cool if they recorded something together!

I agree with the poster who said that all of the housemates have good and bad qualities about them. I think that's why your list seems to change,Julieboo They are an "ever-evolving" cast!

Wow- Tonya thinks every female is jealous of her!!??! Because she has fake boobs!

Fake they may be, but they seem to be in proportion with her body, unlike so many fakes..

Props to Chris for owning up to going along with the group and their mean talk but his confession sort of made Tonya feel worse in a way.

And what's with all of them trash talking in the house where it will obviously be heard?

Oh well..

I'm not overly fond of Cara but she does show some talents that may help her with her career.
Very assertive tonight too.

That tent was a real letdown for them..

When I saw the housemate's reaction to the tent,it made me think of that Stonehenge scene in the film
"This Is Spinal Tap." It's a shame-expecting something so huge and dramatic,only to be let down when the object turns out to be tiny and anti-climactic!

I just want to comment on Tonya.I really feel for her.When you look at her childhood,it's not too hard to understand why she is so attached to Justin-he makes her feel good about herself,so naturally she is devoted to him,at the expense of everyone else.He has yet to let her down (well,he did read her e-mail,but hopefully they'll work it out) whereas these strangers she's living with cannot give her the security and comfort she needs.She even says she has a hard time trusting people; all her life,she has been let down,lied to,abandoned or neglected.
She also told us that the breast implants were done because she thought it would give her self-esteem a lift,but later came to the realization that it didn't make a difference after all.

I'm just trying to understand where she's coming from,that's all.

I agree about the proportionality- I was watching and thinking she must have previously had less than me :) if those are enhancements.

I can see where she has problems, a hard life, etc...but at the same time I think she uses it to hide behind a lot of the time- something to always fall back on as an excuse.

I actually was liking her for awhile earlier in the show, but sometimes she opens her mouth and says something that makes me think otherwise. The jealousy comment was one of these times. I just thought- "oh, poor you Tonya. All the girls are mean to you because they're ALL jealous...but why would your roomates be jealous of you when all you talk about is how awful your life has been?"
The breat enhancement must have been pretty successful in raising that self esteem of hers becuase I'm sure not jealous of her.

As much as I have not liked Tonya, I do feel for her. If any of the other girls had said that pedestal comment, I would have said "get real!" But with Tonya, I do feel for her. I think Cara should really be more sensitive to Tonya.

I also thought Cara did great when she headed the presentation to the mayor's people. She also did a great job of directing. I think she might do well in an entertainement field. She can be very professional and confident.

I too, was surprised at the puny size of the tent.

Kyle (SpongeKyle Squarehead!--have you ever notice the squareness of his head?) slid down further on my list...

So did Cara. Looks like she'll continue to slide down even further next week. (I think I will actually rooting for Tonya! Who knew??!)

I think Tonya thinks others are jealous of her relationship, not her boobs. (as in Tonya's not sleeping with random people, getting into mindgames and fights with others over relationship
or peeing in alleys. She doesn't seem to feel the need to "pound down" the alcohol either. Now, I don't think they are jealous of her, but she feels some pride there.

And yup she's dysfunctional.

But.. face it, Aneesa's been openly wanting Tonya to go away since week 2. And notice when Chris made his amends he mentioned going along with Aneesa? Aneesa admits that she's spoiled and selfish; I think having someone else who craves attention is just too much.. battle of the divas.

I would have thought that they'd have asked for the dimensions of their area long ago, since they had to plan for that when they put on the plays.. but still, seems like a ratty tent to me.

I love the way Cara justifies herself.. I didn't tell them I just didn't deny it.. well.. how bout when it was brought up, just saying "I don't think it is any of our business whether she had implants or not", instead of gossiping and trashing.

I think that Tonya is a professional drama queen, always coming up with a crisis or perceived slight to further fulfill her "poor little foster child, I dare not open myself to people lest I surely be hurt" prophesies. Best line of the night:
Tonya: "I don't think acting is my thing"
That alone tells you that she lives in her own little "Real World"
And with all the medical proceedures she has "had" to have, and all the money they cost, it makes me wonder why she would choose to have an expensive elective surgery performed.

yeah kizz, she does do that "poor little orphan girl" scam way too much. all she is doing is conning everyone. she is conning justin and darren, whoever this darren guy is. she sat there and lied and scammed money from him. there is a name for women like that.

frankly i am glad that theo told her like it is to her face, unlike the others(i know i am a week late with this comment but i just caught the episode). so far theo and chris are the only ones i like. the rest of them are purely followers. and that whole kyle/kerri thing....puleeze. if i was kerri, i would have told him to come correct or step off. they all drink like fishes, i don't know how they hold it, especially cara who is the size of a tooth pick.

on a lighter note, i will say that tonya got a decent boob job, not too overpowering like the girl from survivor4(can't think of her name at the moment).

Yea but Aneesa's way more a drama queen and she has less to be dramatic about.. and Kyle is a drama queen over nothing.

Yes.. the drinking some of them do is amazing.. Aneesa, Cara, Keri and Kyle seem to be the biggest drinkers.. I can't say I've seen Theo drunk, or Tonya and of course Chris isn't drinking.. and Squared.. you know inebriated fishies bump into their aquarium walls :)
