Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Interesting show last night.. Shane declares he wants to leave, but then does really well on the challenge and wins and wants to stay. Genesis and Ruthie are his best buds (all three being gay could be the theme here). Genesis is now in last place, will be going home. Shane gives her the ION lifesaver and right away the snarking begins. How DARE he actually use the thing? And inexplicably, Anne is generous and encourages Genesis to keep the lifesaver, even though that means Anne will be leaving. Cool. And since Anne should have left a couple of episodes back when she WAS in last place, works for me. And it looks like the spoiler could come true next week when James and Shane are tied, I guess for last place. So you can imagine if James is the one being sent home, Emily will absolutely consider it unfair.. If she leaves.. I'll smile and say buh-bye.. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 04:21 pm     sea, i missed the ep, if shane didn't leave who did? im so glad anne is gone. happy dance. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 04:57 pm     Eric left. He had the lowest score (I think he dropped his doll) (and no explanation, catch this episode when it re-airs, lol) |
Opie | Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 07:49 am     Has James won any challenges? If not, that would be the deciding factor in breaking a tie for me. Keep Shane cause he has contributed the most by winning a challenge. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 09:42 am     oh no sea, eric is gone. shoot, he had a great body. da*n so now the only hottie left is mark. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 12:50 pm     Neither one of them do a thing for me.. <shrug> |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 07:34 pm     Emily---what a piece of work. Manages to get others to do the dirty work for her several times, wants to have a "strong" team, and then bolts when her pwecious wiwlle babwy gets voted off instead of sticking around for the team.... Antoine, it was a tough call.... James, I would have liked it better if you just came out and said I want to stay because my girlfriend is still here...you might still have been tossed, but at least you would have been honest about it. And what's wrong with cutting cards or flipping a coin? You know it's you or Shane, so take the risk of luck rather than a person's decision.....did you think Emily would have gone after you had you been kicked that way? |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 08:53 pm     Emily is too much....if the situation were reversed, James would have SO stayed!! For me, James ruined his chances by boo-hooing about his wanting to stay. |
Seamonkey | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 10:35 pm     Exactly.. Antoine said that James' attitude, not wanting to take a chance on a coin toss, while Shane was more accepting.. did it. From what they said tonight, James had won at least one challenge, tho he mentioned gettting a 0 at some point too. I cannot figure out how Melissa has never hit bottom.. I know she got high points the first episode and must have won some other time, but she's lately just about bailed out each time. Like just about any competition "isn't for me".. wish she'd left instead of Julie, who at least would have been right in there competing And what is this to be continued junk? I guess we have to endure Emily on the next episode. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, April 14, 2003 - 11:02 pm     Seamonkey, James got a DQ on the rings on the cars game when his partner dropped a ring, thus the 0. I also guess the continued thing isn't gonna be very long, probably the first part of the ep....Emily and James will leave, and then, unless something strange happens, Shane and Genesis will leave at the end of that same ep (they're too far down the ladder points wise to get out of last place, especially for Genesis; even if Melissa got a zero on the next mission and she won it, it still wouldn't be enough)... They're then down to four players on each team, so there's one more mission after that to figure out the final three, and then the final three people on each team play against the other group for the final prize, $150,000 for the winning trio. So we've got three or four eps left it looks like.... |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 02:15 pm     I thought Emily was gonna throw a hissy fit and storm out. Was kind of glad to see she nicely just said she wanted to go. I think she's an idiot for leaving, but at least someone who really wants the prize will win now. I mean, no one liked her, she was miserable, she's proven she's crude and manipulative, I say good riddance. What I keep wondering is what happened to the sweet girl from Road Rules with the long hair who was so into Devin... she was so great back then, now she's a pack a day smoker who controls her boyfriend and badmouths and backstabs.. go figure. |
Max | Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:49 pm     Don't count Emily out for the hissy fit yet! We still have the "to be continued" to see next week I, too, wonder what happened to the nicer Emily who was romancing with Devin way back when. And what happened to him? (He's such a cutie.) I've seen him in a couple of commercials, but that's it. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 09:01 am     Good question... I don't know what happened to him. He was so cute. Every once in a while I remember a real worlder or road ruleser who never shows up on anything, like they must regret being on the show, like Devin, that chick from Hawaii RW who got so weird... Cara? or something like that, Mike from London RW, the other guy from London, in fact Kat and that other english guy were the only london castmembers who showed up on later MTV shows, Sharon and the model haven't, and how bout the chicks from RR I, the Indian girl and the blonde from LI... they could make a show... whatever happened to lost members of RR and RW, lol... just got me thinking. |
Not1worry | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 10:02 am     I've been perfectly astonished to see how Emily has changed from her RR year. She was one of my favorites. I only saw parts of the last RR RW challenge type thing, and don't remember her being this insane. What on earth happened to her over the years.... How many other RR RW challenges have there been? I remember one with Amaya sniveling about not eating pork because it wasn't kosher, it was a hillbilly games type thing. That was a challenge not a RR episode, I think. Is this the 3rd installation of players returning and competing together? |
Frogichik | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 10:02 am     Laura, Mike and Sharon (London) were on the last RW/RR challange when they were in Mexico, but got booted pretty early. Neil showed up for the 10 year reunion episode. |
Grooch | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 10:22 am     I remember reading something somewhere that the model from england is making a movie in England with some pretty famous people in it. I'm not sure, but I think Gwenyth Paltrow is in it. |
Guinevere | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 11:17 am     I'm not sure, but I believe that Jacinda (the model from RW London) is one of the few who want nothing more to do with RW/RR productions. I believe I've read that. Heard the same about Dominic, the cute Irish drunk from RW Los Angeles. |
Froggiegirl621 | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 12:23 pm     Neil from RW London was also on one of the challenges, not sure which one cuz there have been many, and they all seem to mesh together. And I recall seeing the model Jacinda on a prime time drama a few years ago...never watched the show but remember seeing her in commercials for it. So it is possible that she'd be in a movie with some pretty famous people. |
Grooch | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Neil was in the one with James. He didn't want to do the military mission at all because he is antiwar. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 02:11 pm     Oh right Frog, I remember when Sharon and Mike did the challenge. Oh yeah, Dominic didn't want anything to do with MTV after his show oh and also that cute blonde guy from the same season and Dom, those guys were cool. Funny to think they went through all that trouble to get on the show just to want nothing to do with it afterward. |
Guinevere | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 09:22 am     I always liked Dominic, screwed up as he obviously was, but I didn't like Aaron (cute blonde guy). He seemed really full of himself to me. I also thought Dom and Aaron together were rather mean and snobby towards Jon. One of my all time least favorite cast members, though, was Glenn, who replaced the girl who left when she got married (Irene?) in L.A. God, I really couldn't stand him. |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 10:18 am     Laura, I think back in the first few seasons, none of them thought that doing Real World was a lifelong "gig" and more of the participants tended to have actual life plans.. like the cute blonde guy from LA was getting his masters at the time and continued on to his planned career, which didn't include reality tv, I'm guessing. The more recent casts seem to go into it AS a career, and of course hoping it leads to other things as well.. Glenn was a downer type to me.. Irene is the cop who got married.. last I heard she had at least two kids. and another group who wants to disassociate itself from the RW "thang" are those who probably felt used/humiliated.. I'd guess Dom is one of those.. Irene from Seattle.. I know there are others, but I'm distracted.. |
Gina8642 | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 11:39 am     Has Irene from Seattle ever surfaced? I really liked her. I couldn't believe Steven wasn't booted from that show after hitting her. Irene clearly used her Lyme disease as an excuse to leave the show. I didn't blame her at all, I know I wouldn't be cut out to have cameras follow me around 24-7. I've wondered what she has been up to since leaving the show. I would think doing one of these challenge shows would be a lot of fun, even if you didn't like your time on the actual show. They give out a lot of prizes and are fairly generous with the grand prize and put them up at a fabulous hotel. Great summer vacation. Those with 'real lives' would have a much harder time taking the time away, but those still in school can swing it pretty easily. I've seen some of the folks who left the challange shows early voluntarily get a lot of flak on other chat sites. But why not? If your vacation time is up, why not go home with the booty you've already accrued? |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 12:23 pm     It could be fun but some people have actual jobs or families or lives.. not knocking those who choose this path, but just thinking the others are moving on.. the parents, the cop, the doctor, the illustrator, the teachers, accountants, and so on. Lyme disease is miserable.. I think it was a reason more than an excuse to leave. |
Laura11103 | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 12:29 pm     Guinever, I remember Glenn, he didn't make much of an impression on me either. Gina, we're talking about a different Irene. But the one you're talking about, Yeah, I agree, Steven acted so inappropriately that it was truly unbelievable that he got to stay in the show, they just made him get anger counseling, which he sure needed. I think since Irene was leaving the show anyway they decided to let him get away with it. She should've sued him. And he even came back for a challenge I think (I'm right right?)... Yeah Sea, I remember the first RW, my boyfriend's dad had cable (I didn't) and I loved that show, pretty lucky that Eric got such a good career from it, but do we ever see Julie? She was the star of that season, such a cutey... |
