Seamonkey | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 01:29 pm     On the previews the two black women (who seem so much alike and starting to be friends ) seem to get in an actual chest-butting fight over the black guy. It sounded like Brynn might have stabbed the guy with a fork! And Trishelle and Steven are looking at a home pregnancy test (with all of those condoms that MTV provided.. tsk ) and he's saying something about being a father.. of course he's the one who is actually still married! I think Frank failed the Trishelle test when she asked him to take a name and he just talked endlessly instead of getting down to action in bed.. she seems to have a short attention span Yikes.. definitely not you mom's Real World. |

Kaili | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 02:00 pm     It started? I had no idea. Guess i need to start watching. Hope it's a good season. |
Willwillbee | Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 04:14 pm     RE: RW Sat 11am & children - Have you seen what MTV airs - this is not a huge departure. IF I had kids, I would block MTV altogether. Thank goodness I don't!!! |
Puttergirl | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 04:45 pm     What a great start! Like everyone else I was amazed by Trishelle. She started out seeming so down home and sweet! What a mistaken impression!!!! |
Monkeyboy | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 03:47 pm     I dont know where to put this but they just announced on MTV that the next Real World season will take place in Paris! |
Ryn | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:01 pm     An article I stumbled across while looking up some BB info: 'Real World' Cast Member Did Show While on Probation Mon, Sep 23, 2002 02:41 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - One of the seven people on MTV's "Real World: Las Vegas" was on probation for criminal mischief while he taped the series. Frank Roessler, 22, of Lewisburg, Pa., pleaded guilty last year to criminal mischief after breaking into two fraternity houses at Bucknell University and damaging bathrooms inside them. Roessler's record was discovered by the document sleuths at thesmokinggun.com. According to arrest reports and court documents posted on the site, Roessler and another man, Charles Reiter, broke into the two houses in March 2001 and proceeded to break windows and toilets in each place and smash a door in one. Upon entering one house, police also found "two fresh piles of feces." Roessler was sentenced to two years of probation in June 2001, fined $1,000 and ordered to split $1,000 in restitution to the university with his co-defendant. An MTV spokeswoman tells the Smoking Gun that the channel was aware of Roessler's arrest but did not consider it a serious crime. "It was a frat prank. He is not a dangerous person," the spokeswoman says. http://tv.zap2it.com/news/tvnewsdaily.html?28135 |
Max | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:16 pm     I guess that explains why he says he's "between schools" at the moment. |
Max | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:18 pm     Did anyone watch the RW spoof "Vancouver - the season you never saw"? Is it just me, or does Frank remind you of the guy character in that who was all sullen because he had a crush on one of the girls and she went for another guy instead? Every time I see Frank, I think of that! |
Puttergirl | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 06:25 pm     Watch Road Rules tonight at 10:00, Eastern time. They are in Las Vegas to play a prank on the Real World cast. |
Laura11103 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:06 pm     I just posted about it in the Road Rules thread. Great show tonight. Ryn, thanks for the article, wow, he seems like such a down to earth nice boy. And he called Trishelle trash.... frat prank or not, that's definitely a serious crime IMO. Max, never saw that... never even heard of it... have any more info on it? |
Max | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:45 pm     It was on MTV between last season's RW and this new one. A 2-hour movie they made spoofing RW. It was okay, nothing to really write home about. Basically the premise was the kids arrive in Vancouver (all with attitudes as usual) and then when they are supposed to be picked up to go for a mission of some sort, some imposters pick them up early and kidnap them. Turns out it's a guy who tried like six times or something to get on RW and was rejected each time. Now he's rich and he built some compound with a set like a RW house adn he kidnaps the cast so he can be the producer as well as a participant. Anyway, there is one character who Frank just reminds me of. The DEEP kind of guy who seems to look right through you. The kind of guy who doesn't say a lot, but obviously has deep feelings that develop quickly. YOung girls often don't appreciate that, opting instead for the flashy guy (Steven) who they sometimes know won't make for a long relationship but who looks good for the moment. Meanwhile, the deep guy gets his feelings all hurt and turns more inward. That's what the character did and that's what it seemed, at first glance, that Frank is doing. Time will tell, I guess. In this case, I think Frank will see farily quickly that he's lucky not to have gotten in too deep with Trishelle. That girl is exploring EVERYTHING in a major way and anyone who falls for her is going to get hurt. |
Weenerlobo | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:21 am     I just caught the RW Las Vegas season opener last night. Wow. What are they pumping in that air out there in Vegas? Pheromones! Steven is not good-looking and has the mentality of a 10 year old. His first response to everyone regarding kissing Trishelle was "I'm drunk!" Yeah - that absolves you of all your actions. It might be hindsight, but it sure does seem that Trishelle's sweet-down-home-girl front is just that, don't it? It sure looks like that litte Brynn is gonna make some trouble too. Kinda like a little, blonde pit bull No wonder my husband calls this show Road Kill!! Ya just can't look away . . . . lol |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 07:35 am     I disagree, I think Steven is cute, but I agree that he has a 10 y/o mentality. He's an idiot (watch last night Road Rules and you'll see another example) who seems to only be interested in female attention. Hard to believe he's the one who's married. Max, Frank has already seen the light on Trishelle, you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what she's all about, lol. He does look like he could go crazy though, I wonder if he'll be able to handle this house. There's no hiding that Brynn is a wild child who "gets what she wants", looks like she'll have the mentality if you can't beat'em, join'em in regard to the previews of her and Trishelle making out.... Trishelle got Steven first so she might as well get in on the fun.... lol, I just had an image of that naive 18 y/o little blonde chick (Rachel) from RW New York, if she had been in that house I guarantee her mama woulda went there and taken her home and she woulda had her bags packed and waiting at the door, lol, in fact I don't think any of the RW NY cast coulda handled this with the exception of maybe Lori (she did make out w/ Gisella of RR)... |
Weenerlobo | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 07:59 am     Laura - big LOL on the Rachel thing. I can see her eyes popping out right now. I'm glad you called Steven an idiot; my sentiments exactly. It'll be fun to yell at the TV when he's on, though. Funny how he was making fun of the instructions next to the bowl of condoms, but then he's gonna be stressin about the pregnancy test . . . . DUH! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 12:40 pm     http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/roessler1.html Another souce of info on Frank.. |
Abbynormal | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 04:45 pm     That cracked me up when Steven and Trish were leaning over Frank and it showed him looking right into the camera, like WTF? |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 05:11 pm     Trishelle reminds me of every "Farmer's daughter" joke I ever heard!!! When the salesman first enters the house she seems all sweet and innocent, but when the farmer goes to bed, she is hot to trot!!!! Frank was very lucky he saw the light in time!!!! |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 07:47 pm     So after tonight's episode we now see that Trishelle has father issues. He was pissing me off with his "don't shame the family" comments. Let's see if Trish sticks to her word and doesn't fool around w/ Brynn again.... somehow I doubt she'll be a good girl for long. It was definitely a wild scene in that hot tub, I thought the other roommates handled the scene pretty well, everyone was just sitting around all kewl about it, lol. Shocking is definitely a word that comes to mind. |
Max | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 11:14 pm     Yup. Mom died when she was an early teen and dad criticizes her heavily. Result? Promiscuity in an attempt to get approval and love. Alton disappointed me with his attitude when his ex-girlfriend said she might be pregnant. "What are YOU going to do about it?" "Lives will change," she says. "Whoa! We definitely have to talk about that!" he replies and then we hear how he's too young to deal with this stuff. Ahem, then you are too young to be having unprotected sex!!!!! (actually, sex at all, but let's be realistic) At least he came around later to realize that if she was pregnant he would live up to his responsibilities. Steven and his goofy grin makes me a bit crazy. And who is buying al the drinks for these unemployed, mostly broke kids anyway? Drinks in Vegas are NOT cheap. Ummm, and if "stuff" is happening that you don't understand and you're too drunk to stick up for yourself and call a halt to it, don't you think it's time to reconsider how much you're drinking? "Is that the alcohol or is that me?" Um, try quitting the alcohol and find out! Trishelle's dad is probably a small-town guy who is very concerned with public perceptions. It's hard to tell whether he was upset by her actions because she messed with another girl or because she hooked up with two different roommates in the first four days of living in a public fishbowl. It's sad to see her so upset at what he told her, but it's not realistic for her to expect him to give her unconditional love and acceptance and pats on the back when she's confessing to sexual encounters with virtual strangers while on camera. Every season, it seems that many of the RW cast learn a lot and grow up a lot over the course of the few months they are together. I sure hope that happens this time, too. We haven't seen much of some of the roommates yet, but the ones we have been shown sure have a LOT of maturing to do. |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 07:48 am     Max - Amen, Right On and Oh Yeah to everything you said |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 09:19 am     In the previews they imply that Alton gets involved w/ either Irulin or Arissa, I wonder how that comes about after his whole g/f possbly being pregnant issue. I think Trishelle's dad had a right to be upset I guess, I just hate that whole, you're shaming us, type of deal. She was being contrite until he just went on to much with that shaming stuff. She'll probably get even worse now after that phone conversation. |
Fflur | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 04:03 pm     And I thought "Fastlane" on Fox was going to be my guily pleasure this season...wrong. Its going to be the Real World Las Vegas. I was hooked from the beginning..and normally I dont watch TRW, but this group is something else. I like what Arissa? said, "I feel like Im caught in a porn movie!" This is a wild bunch. But I do like Frank, dispite what the Smokinggun had to say. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 04:20 am     Max, drinks in Vegas are often free to those gambling and to others they are inexpensive to lubricate the brain and move guests toward gambling. Trishelle is also testing her fathers love by behaving outragously to push him to the wall. This is a subconcious act to see if he will love her unconditionally. She *wanted* her sister to tell him she kissed a woman. Funny thing, to me, is that is no big deal. Jumping in bed with Stevan the first night and the threesome activity is something to worry about. |
Max | Thursday, September 26, 2002 - 08:57 am     Well, they weren't gambling, they were in clubs from what I could see (and if they are broke, they don't have money for gambling, either ). I don't know where the Palms hotel is in relation to the MGM Grand, Mirage, Treasure Island, et al. If it's down where Circus Circus, Stratus, and so forth are, then, yeah, drinks can be cheap. But if it's at the other end, I'd love to know where the cheap drinks can be found. Would be handy for my next trip. |
