Seamonkey | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 06:15 am     Depression isn't shameful at all, but having Cara as a spokesperson.. is. I haven't seen all of last night's episode but from what I saw: I sure wish we actually saw the non-positive pregnancy test (I don't trust Trishelle) and I hate to point out that if they were still not using condoms then they'd better do another test. The self serving stuff about not being fair to a child if she terminated the pregnancy.. what would be "fair" about having the child, which would have a huge chance of fetal alcohol syndrome and other problems due to weeks of living with her drinking? Oh yeah, and the bulimia, that's real helpful to fetal development. And from what I saw the other women weren't too happy that Brynn was getting attention from two guys (let's see, Irulan HAS a boyfriend and has been toying with Alton, Arissa got close to the boss, then cried wolf (which he was), Trishelle, well we know what she's been doing) so Irulan "accidentally" outs Brynn by bringing the local guy by when the out of town guy is there, then hits on him, thus hurting both Brynn and Alton and later, her boyfriend? Of ALL the guys in that place, she has to hit on one who was involved with Brynn? Such sensitivity. Not. At least Frank seemed actually happy for Brynn. So if Trishelle isn't pregnant, I wonder why her face is looking more and more bloated? |
Azriel | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 07:56 am     I am no big fan of Brynn, but I thought the treatment she got from Irulan, Arissa and Trishelle was totally crappy. Irulan said she was trying to diffuse the situation. There would have been no situation if she hadn't hauled Moe back to where Brynn was. It made me sick when they ganged up talking about Brynn and then convinced Brynn that it was HER problem. Irulan's whining, 'I've only tried to be your friend' was ridiculous. The further this show gets in the season, the more I can't stand this cast. It has to be the most arrogant, selfish and outright meanest bunch they have ever put together. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 08:25 am     Seamonkey, I agree with everything you said. I think Trishells face may be bloated from all the drinking, but you may be right and she is hiding the pregnancy. I thought it was funny when Frank and Steven were talking in the car about Steven possibly being a father, and Steven said it would be a pretty baby, and Frank agreed and then said, but both of you are as dumb as a box of rocks! That whole thing with Brynn and the two guys was not her fault. The others had no business bringing the Vegas guy into the mix while the other guy was visiting. They forced the issue and it was not nice. |
Max | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 08:58 am     I LOVED when Frank said that dumb as rocks comment! It was so right on! I like his sense of humor. I also liked when Brynn was telling them at the end that she and what's-his-face were now dating exclusively and Frank said, "Think how many board games we can play now!" ITA about the pregnancy test. I don't trust Trishelle to have read and followed the directions correctly! And Steven's talk to Frank about how a baby would make him grow up and that would be a good thing. GAG! Frank again got a zinger in with some comment about what a great reason that was to have a kid. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 12:03 pm     I don't think she had a baby, since that would have made The Smoking Gun or the tabloids. She could have quietly terminated after the show, but she isn't even remotely decisive, so I doubt that. I still haven't seen the whole thing, but I will.. I didn't hear the box of rocks comment but that is dead accurate. Just what a baby would need for parents.. two immature people who seem to only have talents for sexy dancing and falling into bed. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 12:20 pm     I also thought it was totally tasteless and messed up that the roommates brought Mo back to the house when they knew Brynn was there with the other guy. But I couldn't undestand why Brynn went out with all of them... why didn't she just do something else? At least she made a decision. The situation reminded me a little of Flora and her 2 boyfriends from the San Francisco season. |
Kitt | Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 04:32 pm     On Extra last night (or it might have been Access Hollywood, I can never tell one from the other) they showed a photo shoot of Irulan and Arissa or some men's magazine! They were wearing sexy lingerie, so it wasn't that bad but I was surprised Arissa would go in for that, it didn't seem like her thing. Arissa also looked very different, long, very light brown hair and wearing full make up for the shoot, of course. Just thought some of you might be interested. I can't remember the name of the magazine, it wasn't a well known one. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, December 15, 2002 - 11:16 am     I finally saw the most recent episode last night and once again it is quite clear that Trishelle has hated Brynn from day one. Her comments are ridiculous.. Brynn is bringing HER down? Trishelle spends all her time having unprotected sex in the next bed, and retching in the bathroom.. that's stressful to be around, IMO. And Irulan saying that the reason she was draping herself over Brynn's other friend to "diffuse" the situation? She clearly had to know it would upset Brynn AND Alton (unless Alton has totally gotten over his crush on Irulan off screen. next week it looks like Irulan could be sent home (but I bet they just sent her to anger management).. would seem only fair after that cat fight they show and since Brynn could have been sent home by Steven for throwing a fork. Australia for their trip, just an excuse for Trishelle to go topless, I bet. What a season. I know they go toA |
Tweepee | Sunday, December 15, 2002 - 06:25 pm     Fun news: Next month, I'm going to the same resort in Australia that the Real Worlders are going to...! Can't wait to get a preview of my vacation on MTV. |
Fruitbat | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 07:37 am     I just watched the last episode. Oh my. These kids are getting more immature as things progress. Brynn had better get a handle on her jealousy. That was just way over the top. I am amazed that Kent, Justin (?)(what is his name?) wanted to cement a relationship with her!! ....and who thought it was a good idea to bring Mo to the apt.........?! .......and ah, yes of course, have a child to give your life direction........um hmmmmmmm. |
Kady | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 09:02 am     I have never watched the Real World until this season. From what I have been reading, this cast is totally different from any others. They are a bunch of selfish,immature brats. The girls are worse than the guys. I can just see the relationship between Brynn and Austin will last all of about 1 episode. |
Seamonkey | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 01:00 pm     This is probably the most consistently selfish bunch.. of course there have been standouts in other seasons, but not pretty much a whole cast (Frank being an exception, sort of) But I'm guessing they felt they needed a certain dynamic considering the job they were having them do. Bat, I'm with you on the whole possible child issue! I wouldn't have sold Stephen or Trishelle a puppy back when I was involved in that (seriously, we looked for totally responsible people for our babies..). I'd like to put a patch on him to prevent conception, since he obviously isn't considering anything but his satisfaction. |
Fruitbat | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 01:34 pm     This is the first season where I have paid attention. I have caught a few episodes here and there. I am heartened to hear this may not be the norm. I have sons 24 and 26. I am not unfamiliar with this territory. I am greatful to report that I have NEVER seen any of this type of behavior and I do not have saints here! I am seing kids that have not had the basics in communication 101 AND the basic principal of anothers life is ones own. I am apauled at at the judgement and meddling. Bryns jealousy is disturbing. That is one snafu that is difficult to grab and wrestle to the ground. Maybe the most difficult. Ususally no one losses it, the only hope is some understanding and a partner that is willinng to cope. Poor kid, I really do like her. This show tears my heart out. Like a moth to a flame, will continue but I hold little hope for anyone except Frank. |
Bastable | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 05:50 pm     Yep, Frank's my favorite BY FAR this season. He's the only sensible, honest person in there. Poor guy. |
Fruitbat | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 06:28 pm     I agree. Frank stands apart. |
Grooch | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:56 pm     But Frank pooped in another person's house and got arrested for it, before he got on the real world. Eewwwwww!!!! |
Kady | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 09:30 pm     I was kinda scared to say I like Frank. It made me wonder what kind of freak he would be and then I read Grooch's post above. Eewwwwwwww!! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 06:10 am     Oh, I did not know that. Curious thing to do. |
Max | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:19 pm     I think it was a fraternity stunt gone wrong. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 06:04 pm     Yes, but it does show that he isn't without his problems He is clearly smarter in front of the cameras, after the first episode when he bored Trishelle by trying to talk to her, get to know her, before performing in her bed... the nerve of him to want to talk!! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 06:10 pm     From way up in this thread.. Roessler is Frank.. 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." |
Kady | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 08:37 pm     I missed most of tonights show. But I know I can catch it on a rerun. I switched over to BBC's What Not to Wear and got caught up in that. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 11:25 pm     I saw a few snippets when Judging Amy was at commercial.. Irulan is a real piece of work.. |
Max | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 11:37 pm     How in heck-fire did Arissa manage to stay employed? A warning?! Good grief. All I can think is that the MTV people convinced the owners to give her another chance. I do like, however, that she FINALLY seems to have realized that she needs to stop TALKING about changing and DO something about it. She seems like a nice, intelligent girl who has risen above some very bad circumstances. I'd hate to see her blow it. Her boyfriend, although younger than she is, certainly seemed like a good guy and pretty savvy, too. I loved when he was telling her to CHANGE NOW and not blow this great opportunity. Yes, Irulan is indeed "a piece of work". Wonder if she and Gabe are still together. Somehow, I doubt it. I just wish she'd leave my Alton alone! LOL He's too good for her. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, December 18, 2002 - 05:17 am     I have not seen this yet. From what you say Max, my theory is correct. That is..... Arissa immediately apologizing and acknowledging her wrong doings is not genuine. It has become a way for her to manipulate others and take the heat off of herself. She continues to indulge in the same behaviours repeatedly, always "seeing the light" and vowing to change. It is the way she gets love and attention. |
