BTW how does a RW episode end? I've never watched RW before. No, not an episode. I mean how does the season end?

Usually they are shown packing up and saying goodbye, and going off at the airport or wherever.. depends on where they are going and the city for the season..

guinevere, sorry haven't been to this thread in a while so didn't see your comment till now.

no, no one has to explain the "white" perspective to me. but obviously the "black" perspective has to be explained especially to some people who don't know any "black" people or have been around us to know where we are coming from as far as our experiences and history. we have to learn "white" history in school, but only get the "safe black history" in school, like learning about martin, harriet, and very little about malcolm.

plz look at some of my other posts in the survivor4 board regarding sean and the other topic i started regarding sean's race related comments and you may see where i am coming from, especially as far as how we react to certain situations.

and i was referring to those who didn't "understand" how lynching was a sensitive topic for theo.

and sorry, but i wasn't a nicole fan

Oh, Squared.. it is hard to "get" Nicole unless you've had that type of childhood (I did). But, she was definitely hard for many to get.. part of her defenses.

Real world tonight.. GOOD JOB!! Glad they ultimately felt supported by and supportive for each other.

I do think Kyle may well be an idiot, tho.

Yes Seamonkey, it was so sweet when Kara (sp?) said (during the group hug) "Being here with you guys isn't so bad, I kind of like you." Because what she obviously meant was that she cared about everyone very much. She just said it so cute.

A lady I work with shares Anissa's birthday. ...... I don't think I had really thought about how not only was their last birthday ruined, but there next one will be to pretty much (because of the rememberances.) But then again, ulike those we lost that day, they are fortunate just to have more birthdays to celebrate (Lord willing.)

So.. 9/11 is over for them.. back to the themes of Aneesa being irresponsible and spoiled, (being told by mom and brother), Aneesa going out, Kyle being jealous when Keri goes out with someone else, Kyle making out with Keri after that.. then getting a message from Nicole and finally breaking it off in a less than nice way.. etc etc.. no mention of their new job.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I feel for Keri. Kyle is dropping big time (on my list.) Why does he have to humiliate her by talking about her like she's a puppy following him all over? He's the one who's leading her on from time to time..

I hope Kyle wakes up, watching himself. Keri is honest in wanting to be with him. She isn't juggling another relationship or playing mind games.

He.. wants what he wants when he wants it.. says go away then comes to her bed.. says "go out, date others", then hangs around when she brings someone over.. and then uses Cara to get sympathy for his spineless complaining behind Keri's back, and spineless lying to her face.

He's a drama queen and creates his own drama.

Of course I'd like her to slap him down but she honestly has hopes.. he's done the perfect amount of intermittent conditioning that keeps her coming back for more.

Exactly!

Anyone else here feel that Cara is just waiting to snatch up Kyle for herself? (like how she's trying to get Keri dates and she's always there to help Kyle talk about his problems with Keri.)

How can that "square-head" (Kyle) call Keri and tell her about the party and then complain about he doesn't want her there? What a loser to tell her that she'll have to fend for herself there. Nice guy!

Also, don't you think they'd have more than one set of car keys?

Julie, it was one of Kyle's friends who called, I think, and she then knew about the party..

But, yeah, a loser.

From The Chicago Sun Times:


'Real World' outtakes were too rotten for TV

May 28, 2002
BY JAE-HA KIM STAFF REPORTER


You will not see any nudity in "The Real World You Never Saw--Chicago," now out on video and DVD. However, you will be inundated with more scatological humor than the average "Beavis and Butt-Head" reunion.

It's difficult to shock an audience of "The Real World" fans when they've already seen the Chicago cast walk around naked and grope everyone in sight.

This bonus show seems much longer than 44 minutes, most likely because the producers let the kids sit around and pontificate rather than showing us what we really want to know: Do Keri and Kyle ever admit to hooking up? Did Theo ever convince Aneesa to make out with him? Was the uninsured Tonya able to pay her hospital bill? Did a modeling agency ever snap up Chris? And did Cara ever confirm whether the rock star she made out with was Todd Mohr of Big Head Todd and the Monsters?

Instead, we get blurred-out shots of Aneesa's bare breasts and outtakes of the cast literally bumping heads with the MTV cameramen. How very "America's Funniest Home Videos."

Then there are the lies when bystanders ask the kids why a camera crew is trailing them. Kyle even goes so far as to say they're filming for the soft-core Spice Channel. Speaking of which, here's something you won't even see on that naughty network: three blondes popping a stud's back zits. Ewwwwwwwwww!

In the first season of "The Real World," there was a scandal when Becky and a crew member had an affair. He lost his job. In this 11th season, one of them (surprise--it's boy-hungry Cara) develops a crush on hottie director Richard Kim. She admits to flirting with other men hoping to make Kim jealous. Doesn't work. Kim says flat-out he's not interested.

For interviews, the cast is divided into groups, and the one with Kyle, Keri and Cara is particularly snarky. Like the popular high school crowd ostracizing the class geek, they poke fun at Tonya and her frequent misuse of the English language (she referred to the MTV production team of Bunim/Murray as "Bill Murray"). And during a conversation about bad dancers, Chris is singled out. In turn, he quotes one of this paper's "Real World Confidential" columns: "The Chicago Sun-Times said I couldn't dance my way out of a box."

The extras include a tour of their Wicker Park abode and a look at the house blueprints (yawn). From the cast profiles, we learn that Kyle likes aggressive sex but isn't into spanking.

Enough said.

Too bad he isn't into spanking, he could probably benefit from one, the jerk.
