Puttergirl | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 04:29 pm     Kitt, at the end of the first episode, there were coming attractions of the rest of the series. They showed Steven sitting in a car with a woman asking her if she did the pregnancy test. But Seamonkey, I didn't think the shot of the woman was clear enough to know it was Trishelle?? |
Oregonfire | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 06:08 pm     Well, apparently my friend who was supposed to be on the show ended up on the cutting room floor. She was to be on in a party planner capacity, so maybe she got cut when that guy got fired? Anyway, no worries about taping the show anymore. Frankly I'm a bit relieved. I get tired of hearing all about "so-and-so's successful daughters" all the time. |
Seamonkey | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 07:02 pm     I thought there was also a preview clip with Trishelle in it and someone was asking didn't they use protection? But it could have been misleading (now THAT wouldn't be a first) With Alton we just heard him on the phone, don't think they showed them together. Time will tell .. I know they've also shown that they go to Australia, but I sure hope they get to go somewhere outside the casino/hotel in the local area too. |
Kstme | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 08:04 pm     I'll be darned! There's a new hotel in town and they called it The Palms! They brought in some "fake" people to play "real" people and said "It's Vegas, Baby!" Yep...they sure did! 1. I'm OLD, ok...but I haven't been inside a casino since Spy and War were here! Thekid, 25, hasn't gambled in one for months. Both dh and tk work in them though. 2. You can actually drive around this town and never pass a casino. You have be a little tricky at it, but it can be done! 3. Plastic surgery is also a MAJOR business in this town! Trust me...I KNOW NOTHING about it! 4. Just try to find "fish and chips" at any hour here! Try to find "good" f&c's ANYTIME in this town! It's so nice of Real World to perpetuate the myth and legend of my fine town! I don't think Vegas would have continued if it hadn't been for this show! <BIG s...i'm not serious, but i do find this group t a c k y> |
Willwillbee | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 02:27 pm     *I* believe Steven started the whole fight with Brynn to push her to the edge of physically attacking him to manipulate her into submission *just* to get a private room (by forcing her to move out of her own room) She was adamant (and I don't blame her) about not moving out of her room and into the room with the 2 guys. both my cents |
Bastable | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 09:27 pm     By the way, here's a scoop... Budget Travel Magazine is saying that the roommates are going to Australia for their vacation and that they'll stay at a just-opened Gen X all-inclusive resort on Great Keppel Island. Anyone been? |
Fruitbat | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 10:25 pm     This is painfulll to watch, for me. Children feeling their way in the world with all their mistakes hanging out for all to see. Trishelle............what is she coming home to? Her Dad has to be horrified. I cannot begin to imagine what is in store for her. Bryn will be embarassed beyond measure. The poor kid. I cringe with all of this. I want to scoop them all up and hug them. My sons are this age and I have no rational perspective. These are children stumpling while thinking they have it all sealed and I love them all and want to shake them, as well. I cringe yet I conttinue to watch these kids struggle. My heart aches for them. aaaaaarrrrrrgggggg. |
Weinermr | Monday, October 21, 2002 - 06:37 pm     We ordered the Real World original season DVD's and have started watching them. Oh what a difference there is. The original New York Real World cast were so much more mature - not always mature, but MORE mature than most of the following casts have been. Most of them worked, had their own lives, their own careers, and Real World was just a stop along the way. They were intelligent, articulate, and truly acted as if they cared about each other. If you get a chance, rent or buy the DVD's or tapes, and this will remind you of the reasons Real World started the whole "reality" TV trend. |
Seamonkey | Monday, October 21, 2002 - 08:47 pm     Big difference, I agree.. San Francisco was the peak for me.. but this season's cast seems to be the absolute pits as far as maturity/talent/etc.. |
Spramp | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 02:28 pm     E-online's Watch with Wanda chat had an item from her that the first season of Real World is suing Bunim-Murray Productions because they aren't getting any royalities from syndication, etc. Hope they get some money!! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 05:21 pm     Oh goody, I've missed all but the first two shows, and all the repeats are starting right now. Be back later.......... |
Pamy | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 08:19 pm     Thanks for the heads up Webkitty, I caught all the episodes I had missed. WOW! This is one of the craziest real world's yet! Vegas does that to people, I know I feel more frisky when I am there, I guess that is why it is called sin city. I can't believe their boss! The owners of Rain should fire him after watching how he acts. I really like Irlun(sp?) she speaks with such maturity. |
Max | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 08:42 pm     Pamy, Marc did get fired as soon as the owners saw the show. I'm just surprised that no one from MTV told them of the sleazy activity when it actually occurred. |
Pamy | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 08:49 pm     Good, he was sleazy and dumb to do it on camera! I too am surprised the MTV people didn't step in when he was in bed with the girls. Thanks for letting me know, Max! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 05:24 am     I missed this last night. Was there anything of note? These kids are a piece of work. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 06:26 am     I got caught up on all the episodes last night, so they are all jumbled up in my mind, but it seemed to me that most of them came to some realization about themselves. I agree with Bat's previous post that these kids are young, and most of them seem to come from some sort of disfuntional background (I'm sure production picked them for this very reason) They all seem to be trying to find their way in the world while not having the benefit of a sound frame work to build on. I'm not familiar with previous seasons of RW, except for a few episodes of Chicago, so I have nothing to compare this season's cast to. I've seen posts that the original concept has been distorted and its probable true, just making an observation about what I saw last night. The one kid that seems the most clueless to me was Frank. Even a young adult that has lived a rather sheltered life in a small town in Penna. must know that the words is called A. were not PC, if not downright rude. Trishell seemed to realize that as the baby of her disfuntional family, she has been able to "get away" with behavior that is thoughtless. I don't understand the attraction to Steven by the girls, but then he is young enough to be my son. Also, why are they going to Austrilia? Is going to a far off country something that previous casts have done? I'm glad for them that they get to go but it seems strange to me. Clue me in! LOL! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 11:06 am     Most casts do get to take a trip.. the Hawaii bunch went to India, for instance.. Chicago cast probably lost out because of the post 9/11 problems with travel. They are young, for sure, yet most other casts have included someone younger, often causing problems for those under drinking age who cannot get into bars.. Previous casts have included people with actual lives.. and talents.. (cartoonist, medical student, MBA student, race car driver, recording artist, PhD student among others) Now and then, usually just before the start of a new season, they will have marathons of some past seasons, good way to catch up. This season seems to out-slack all others so far. |
Webkitty | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 05:49 pm     I watched the Brynn/Steven fight episode again and I was wondering if anyone else noticed how, with all the tears flowing from Brynn, her face never swelled up and her eyes remained clear. It was rather fasinating to watch. Editing or not? |
Kiersten_Love | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 07:28 pm     What fascinated me even more than that, WebKitty, is that Steven never said he was sorry or should I say felt sorry for doing what he did to Brynn.. |
Webkitty | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 07:35 pm     Kiersten, I agree. I thought he came across as a condesending boorish ass. Brynn is better off without him. |
Kiersten_Love | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 07:59 pm     WebKitty, I couldn't have said it better myself... |
Seamonkey | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 09:03 pm     Someone up thread mentioned that Marc was probably married to top off his harrassment of his employees.. Remember Steven IS married. Boorish Ass is a good start on describing him. |
Weenerlobo | Tuesday, October 29, 2002 - 06:56 am     Sooooooooo glad to see I'm not the only one who can't stand Steven . . . . . he's a dork. |
Grooch | Tuesday, October 29, 2002 - 07:56 am     On MTV.com, they have an interview with a cast member after every show. The most interesting thing is that there is no interview there at all for the episode where Marc was sexually harrassing the girls. I wonder if there are any lawsuits going on. Anyway, here is Steven's interview about the fork incident. Episode 6: Go Fork Yourself! By Steven I know what you are all thinking, "Arissa must be really strong." Arissa must be strong because she managed to hold me back from Brynn. In reality, Brynn would have beaten me down. I think that everyone knows what fear looks like...and that was definitely fear in my eyes. Brynn would have kicked my ass. This was definitely a crazy episode. Brynn’s throwing of the fork was the very least of the physical contact. Brynn had actually grabbed my face and slapped me. The cameras caught none of this. I eluded to this during the episode when I said, "What are you going to do, hit me again?" Never did I believe that Brynn was crazy or that she was going to kill me in my sleep (though some of you may wish she had). I was more concerned about the possibility of her hitting me again and my slapping her hands away and possibly hitting her face. As you all know, that would have been the end of me. If I would have laid a hand on her, I would forever be "the guy who hit the girl on The Real World." How scary is that? I am much more content being "the slutty, stupid guy on The Real World." When I was ten years old, I walked in on my mother being hit by my ex-stepfather. My brother and I managed to cause a diversion that allowed my mother to escape. Domestic violence is something I am strongly against. I participated in a candlelight vigil for families that have suffered through domestic violence. I have seen, first hand, how domestic violence destroys families. There is never a reason for a man and a woman to ever resort to physical violence with each other. Ladies, just because you know that a man will not hit you back, does not give carte blanche to assault them. The names that I called Brynn were absolutely uncalled for. I was angry about what had just happened and I let it get the best of me. Brynn likes to talk a tough game, but she is really a sweet girl. I really like Brynn as a person. Even after the show, she has proven to be an amazing friend that has really been there for me. I don’t know if I ever apologized for the names that I called her, but I am now. The names that I called her are just as hurtful and wrong as her hitting me. That old saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," is such bulls***. Words definitely do hurt. My roommates’ and my stay in Vegas would have not been the same without Brynn. Brynn is the ultimate party girl. Plus, what were the odds of getting a replacement girl that would have even been half as good-looking as Brynn. Let’s face it, Brynn is smoking hot. Not an episode goes by where I don’t find myself saying how beautiful Brynn looks. Stay tuned for next week’s episode where I get my ass kicked by a one-armed, midget girl. |
Aunt_Bob | Tuesday, October 29, 2002 - 11:57 am     Thanks for posting that, Grooch...I would have NEVER visited the MTV site. That was an amazing 'interview' in the sense that it sounded like a completely different young man than what has been presented on the show so far. Boy, hindsight is something, aint it. |
