Seamonkey | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 11:55 am     That director guy was right, these people have absolutely NO work ethic, and then they get this great trip to Australia but cannot even stay sober long enough to finish their lame act. So now it looks like Irulan can't have her cake and eat it too.. after subjecting Alton to hearing all those cutesy phone calls with Gabe (and subjecting Gabe to tales of Alton) but she can't take the heat when Alton even talks to other women.. tsk. Frank has watched the whole sordid saga of Trishelle and Steven and he still thinks Trishelle is nice and sweet and is tempted to jump in bed with her? |
Fruitbat | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 05:36 am     I finally saw the most current installations last night. I don't know why I continue to watch. Everyone is an armchair psychologist and knows exactly what is 'wrong' with the others. groan. I still maintain that Arissa is not having epiphanies every 5 mins. It is her modus operendi to act out and later take responsibiliy for her behaviour blaming it on her childhood and vow to change. It takes the heat off of her and all soften with her 'new' realization. And on it goes. Even her boyfriend said....'just change then!'. He is sick of this too. All of them seem to be in tune with childhood traumas or lack of guidence but instead of taking the next step, prefer to be a victim of it all and use it as an excuse. Certainly Arissa knows that feeding $100 into a slot machine is risky and not the best way to go given the fact she has trouble with money. Instead she just claims she was never taught about money. Case closed. She will change.....tomorrow is another day Scarlett. Irulan. Where do I begin? Her open relationship is curious at best. She is a tease and justifying it with being lonely. Alton is foolish to to play with her. He actually has a shot with her if he would remain at a distance and make her hunger for him. Her open relationship is doomed anyway. Too late for that. All of their behaviour is appauling but they are young. |
Ryn | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 06:49 pm     <--bumps it cause the show is on. |
Ryn | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:22 pm     Alton got soooooooo busted - lol |
Ryn | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:33 pm     Looks like Irulan is leaving on the next show. If she doesn't leave of her own free will (which she said she was going to), I think she will get the boot for her actions towards Alton. Is throwing things at someone the same as hitting them? Or spitting on them in Pucks case. |
Kitt | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 11:10 pm     I've come to the conclusion this whole cast is just broken. Irulan wants to have her cake and eat it, then gets upset when Alton wants his too. Arissa, Trishelle and Brynn all need serious counselling. Ironically Steven and Frank seem the most 'normal', Steven has an odd, imho, thing about his ex-wife, but at least Frank's problems are shared by about 50% of all men. Sigh. Tonight's show really annoyed me. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 11:26 pm     Irulan is out of control (and I've only seen 5 min tonight so far..) Alton busted? Irulan is the one with the boyfriend!! She's obviously a total princess in the man dept and for once cannot have total control. I'd vote for this cast as most overall attractive physically, and overall most dysfunctional.. ever. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 02:51 am     I agree Seamonkey. I am surprized that Irulan is not getting scolded my her roomates. After her boyfriend views this episode, if he does not split with her, he is dumber that this entire group. What is she thinking!? I missed Irulan throwing something. I doubt she will leave next week. That is all drama. They let Arissa stay after her fist fight so it would not be production asking her to leave. When is this show over? Will it ever end? Someone tell me it will end soon. OK? |
Webkitty | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:18 am     The hormones raging on this show is palpable. Its all about young sex, there is nothing else going on. Their "job" is a joke. There are no other issues other than libido. I'm too old for this! lol. Yes, will it ever end? I can't stop watching, I need to find out what happens in the end. |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:23 am     Yeah I'm feelin pretty old for this too. Irulan is psycho. I hate that baby voice she uses with Gabe on the telephone in order to deliver it to him that she's been skankin around. Bleck. She is ticked off because she thought she was playin Alton and don't like it that Alton is actually playin her. Whatever. But her "victim" act is just going on too long. |
Ryn | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 08:35 am     When I said he was busted it was right after he had announced his "3 some" to his roomate. Then you see shortly after Trishelle and some Aussie walking down a street and you can hear him telling her that his "neighbor" and Alton had gotten busy with each other and that Alton then hooked up with another girl right after. Thats when I typed "busted." ;) I thought she would rush right back and tell the other girls. In the previews for the next show you can clearly see Irulan throwing things at Alton and him dodging out of the way. It seemed like they showed at least 2 different times it happened. |
Jujugirly | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 08:57 am     That darn Irulan. I used to like her... As I sat there watching the show last night I kept yelling at the TV, "You have a freaking boyfriend!" I think my husband thought I was crazy, but it was driving me nuts!! Only problem I have with Alton is the fact that he's lying about it. He needs to just be honest. Oh yeah, and did I hear Irulan tell him she loves him??? PUH-LEASE!!! Best line last night was what Alton said to Irulan when she said she was going home (can someone give me a quote here, I'm not good with that sorta thing). She's delusional. Unfortunately for me that's why I enjoy reality TV  |
Grooch | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 09:34 am     Well, Alton went way down in my book last night. Way down. Irulan was never really that high to go down in the first place. First of all, Irulan has an "open" relationship. Something that I would never do, but with that, I can't fault her to much for "dating" (I don't know what to call it.) Alton. Her boyfriend is probably doing the same thing as this was going down. Except he is probably not getting emotionally attached to the women he might be doing. That's the big difference between men and women. Look at Trishelle and Steven. She was getting to attached while he wasn't. Also, Alton is fully aware that Irulan has a boyfriend and even met him. So he knows full well what he is getting into. If you play with fire you are going to get burned. That goes for both of them. With that, the problem for them is that they do seem to have a real, strong attraction to each other and the situation that they are in (living together, working together in a party atmosphere and doing sexy shows and being in LV of all places and away from the ones you love) well that isn't helping either one of them to not fool around with each other. There is just to much temptation for the both of them to not fool around. But what made Alton go down in my book, is why did he switch rooms in the first place? That upset Irulan because it appeared to come out of the blue with no explanation. He then went and had a threesome that night. And then the next night he went and made up with Irulan and he kept telling her how much he loved her. He then swore on his dead brother's soul that he didn't have the threesome. And after that he then went and had sex with her. Then when they got back, he keeps going on about how much he loves her and how happy he is and then proceeds to get women'sphone numbers in a bar while he is there with Irulan! He then says in the confessional that they (roomates) only have the information to go on that he gives them. So what else is he lying about? Like I said, Irulan is no angel, but Alton really really slipped down in my book. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:49 am     Oh my, I missed this. I will catch it later. They both deserve each other and whatever that brings. |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 11:44 am     Well said Grooch. I actually felt kind of bad for Irulan last night. As Grooch said, He kept going on and on how he loves her and then the next night is flirting endlessly and obviously trying to make her feel bad. I think it's his way of dealing w/ the fact that she has a boyfriend, kind of rebelling. It's all screwed up. He should've just fessed up about the threesome, now he's a flat out liar and I have a feeling she really might leave the show. Yeah I saw the previews for next week, her throwing stuff. No excuse for that, she should go. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 01:24 pm     I watched the tape this morning and of course I agree about Alton .. he's totally deluded and he thinks others will "understand" his delusion.. obviously he should have never played with fire. Irulan is worse.. one thing she said that really said it all was when she was boo-hooing in her bed with Mo and Brynn.. she said that now Gabe was going to see all of this and basically that it was putting her relationship with Gabe in jeopardy and "for what?".. In other words that as long as she had Alton on a short lead (or thought she did), then it was worth the chance of losing Gabe (and she was running to the phone baby-talking at every opportunity to keep Gabe on his leash).. but NOW, that Alton was playing HER (how dare he?) well now she was going to look bad and it wasn't worth the chance.. Yikes.. Looks like Arissa's all about dumping her guy too.. now that she's seen the big world outside of boston and what free vacations Down Under are like, well, unless he's about to follow her, oh well.. I'll give her some credit for bringing it up. (since we know that she now is living in Vegas and has her own website (nevet mind that said website is entirely nonfunctional last I looked)..) So is Frank moving in on Trishelle?? Arissa?? Delusions abound. As for the previews, you are totally right, Ryn.. there were AT LEAST two scenes of her hurling objects at Alton.. I would think that if Alton wanted to (I don't think he will) he should be able to send her home (since Steve could have had that power over Brynn for a fork) OK.. I got more rant out of that 20 minutes of footage than the footage Yeah, Ryn, after seeing more than 5 minutes I agree that Alton was busted. (and no matter how many people join the pigpile on Kelly Osbourne bunch, I'd take a Kelly to deal with ANY day over this ugly bunch of beautiful people) |
Serate | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 01:31 pm     I don't see why Irulan is being such a friggen baby! I hate greedy people, and she's greedy. She to have her cake AND eat it. I can't stand Alton, but if she can't commit to Alton 100% [get rid of Gabe] then why should Alton? Although he should at least be honest to why he tells her he loves her but then goes and flirts. Kelly Osbourne all the way!!!!!!!!!!! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 01:48 pm     Greedy is the word for Irulan, Serate.. just like her birthday having to be such a BFD. Yes Alton should tell her what he tells the camera, that he is terrified to be so attracted to her because of Gabe, and thinking Irulan is more than all that.. and too good for him and he doesn't want to be hurt. |
Grooch | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 02:00 pm     Seamonkey, I think Arissa wasn't planning on going back from the very beginning. I think she mentioned it in the 1st or second episode. As to Irulan, I do feel bad for her to some degree. I can't imagine an open relationship would work for the long run with any couple. Esp. with young people. I could be wrong, but I imagine that it is usually the man that comes up with this idea, and a needy woman would go along with it as a way to keep that man, by agreeing with whatever rules he comes up with. If Irulan and Gabe were truly in love and meant for each other, they would not be having an open relationship. Even Bryn talked to her guy and told him that she wanted an exclusive relationship with him. Anyway, Irulan is young and I think young people should be allowed to date around. Since she has an OR (open relationship) I don't see anything wrong with her hooking up with Alton,because I think her relationship with Gabe is never going to last. She seems to be the type of person who is needy and needs to be with a guy. So I guess she was putting her eggs in Alton's basket and he didn't turn out to be who she thought he was. At least she has been honest with him. And at least she isn't like Alton and sleeping with a different person every night. Trishelle doesn't have a boyfriend and she gets slammed for it, but I don't hear anyone calling Alton a sl*t. Anyway, I hoped Irulan learns a lesson from this. And I think if this does break her up with Gabe, Alton did her a favor. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 02:02 pm     Good points, for sure. |
Grooch | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 02:17 pm     Sea, I think I'm just feeling sorry for her and rationalizing. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 04:45 pm     Grooch, don't apologize; everyone needs a champion!! In this bunch my heart's with Brynn, and Bat aches for Trishelle.. so Arissa needs you |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 05:04 pm     Bryne is looking like Dr Phil. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 06:46 pm     ACk.. is she losing her hair?? (not a huge Dr Phil fan here) |
Grooch | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Ack! Seamonkey, thanks for your post! I came back not knowing what to expect from my last post. The truth is, is that my heart breaks for every single one of them on the cast and they all break my heart. they have so much to offer to life, but they have such low self esteem and have no clue that they do have so much to offer. I think each woman has some great qualities to offer life. I would never bash any of them. I guess that's why it bothers me when I hear all the jokes about Trishelle sleeping with everyone, but I never hear that about Alton, even though I hear the girls saying the words "skank" a lot. (referring to the women he brings home. I like all the men too. Steven seems like he was going to be portrayed a dumb guy at the beginning, but he does have a lot on the ball, and he does care a lot about Trishelle even though he realizes a relationship won't work. He is a good person at heart. I really don't think I can find a bad thing to say about him. He is aware what is going around him. He got emotionally involved when he didn't plan to. And he is trying to work with that. Frank is nice too. The one that I have the problem with is Alton. He was portayed one way the whole time. And last night MTV ripped that away and shocked me. I really can't get mad at any of them. I think they are good hearted but young and stupid. And MTV is really taking advantage of that. But I agree with you when you say: Thank goodness they are not working with kids! lol! |
