Seamonkey | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 11:45 am     Yes, I agree, Tonya moved up in impression.. I was not one of her major detractors for Chicago either, but she definitely came up a notch here. |
Sherbabe | Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 03:56 pm     does anyone know if tonya is still dating that guy she talked non stop to (on the fone) on RW Chicago. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 04:06 pm     She had broken up with him during the reunion show. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 04:10 pm     oops, this one messed up, try next one for updated pics |

Laura11103 | Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 07:40 am     Anyone know why the hell this wasn't on last night? Man I was disappointed. |
Max | Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 10:18 am     Seems like MTV pre-empted in favor of a Diary episode following soldiers in Kuwait or somewhere. I didn't watch it, tho. Maybe MTV just wants to jump on the "prep for war" bandwagon. |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Man, they shoulda pre-empted Real World instead... now gotta wait a whole nother week for this... bummer. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 12:59 pm     Yes, but the Diary was very good and timely.. they ran a diary he'd done with Israeli and Palestinian teens and then the new one with Kuwaiti teens and also with young soldiers who are there. But, yes, would have been far better to pre-empt RW tonight instead.. maybe they are stretching the challenge for sweeps? |
Seamonkey | Monday, March 17, 2003 - 10:37 pm     The women get cattier and cattier.. I know Veronica was a problem on Semester at Sea, but Emily sent her home from one challenge because "I don't like you", even when that meant Yes had to leave.. seems to me Emily and Anne are the really negative ones. Watching them with "concerned" faces when Veronica was hurt made me want to vomit. |
Avrey258 | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 10:46 am     I have a question about the Emily & Veronica thing. O.K., I have watched every season of the Real World but have only seen one or two episodes of Road Rules and since I don't know all of the players could someone please give me an opinion on the Emily and Veronica situation. Here is the problem: Emily and her two friends are constantly saying that Veronica is mean and nasty. Normally, I would chalk this up to cattiness or gossip since they have never shown, at least during this RR/RW Battle of the sexes shows, that Veronica has been mean. So...if it were only Emily saying Veronica was mean then I would chalk it up to a personality problem between the two of them. However, two other people have said this about Veronica too. My daughter and I watch this show together and we are both baffled since the producers have chosen not to show these incidents with Veronica, which leads me to believe that Emily and friends are making this up or at the least exaggerating. Anyone know what is really going on? Thanks, Avrey |
Max | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 11:22 am     I'm not sure what is actually going on during the filming, either, 'cause they haven't really shown it. But, during Veronica's RR season (Semester at Sea), she was....well, let's just say duplicitous. The biggest incident I remember was her taking a shirt from one of the other girls and, when the girl was looking EVERYWHERE for it and point blank asked Veronica if she had seen it, she said no. Later, the girl found it tucked in the bottom of Veronica's closet under some of her other things and there was a big confrontation. Veronica HAD taken the shirt and had flat-out lied about it. During that season, it seemed pretty clear that Veronica had "issues" she needed to deal with. She seemed nice on camera most of the time, but then we found out that she was not really that nice at all. Again, though, I don't know what was going on in Jamaica. I agree, though, that after seeing Anne, Christina, and Genesis talking about how mean Veronica was, I gave it more credence than when only Emily was talking about it. |
Grooch | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 11:43 am     Didn't Veronica also plagerize one of Ayanna's papers? |
Max | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 01:00 pm     yep |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 03:11 pm     What happened on Semester at Sea was between Veronica and Pua and Veronica and Ayanna.. Do we see Ayanna plotting here, no.. I think Ayanna and Veronica made up, not that they were going to be best friends but that they were not enemies. I'm not sure what set Emily off on the other challenge. Anne and Christina and Genesis .. none were on Semester at Sea, so I'd guess they simply form a bloc and Veronica's one of their targets. Emily was heavily involved in strife and turmoil in the last challenge and here she is, once again. I think personally, I'd be wanting to punt Emily and Anne about this time. |
Grooch | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 01:27 pm     From Melissa's website: Want to know what else is weird? Emily, Genesis (who I think was sincerely just a listener and not a participant in this anti-Veronica diatribe), Anne and Christina talking about how much Veronica sucks. Saying things like, "I just wish she'd go home. She makes everyone feel bad. She's a bad person." I just find all of that to be crazy. Where is the Veronica footage? Three episodes deep now, they've been talking about how awful this Veronica character is yet there is no evidence. That's just mean. On all fronts. That's the scary and dangerous thing about "reality" TV. Other people can make something about you "true" even if it is the furthest from the truth. MTV has no obligation to actually show this phantom footage of Veronica being Cruella Deville or of other cast members saying cool things about the girl. As a matter of fact, I'd bet a million pesos that there isn't one shred of evidence of her being this "festering pool of negativity." And isn't calling someone a "festering pool" a festering pool of something else? Then again, when the girls were on the bench talking about Veronica, her name was never used. They could have been talking about a completely different girl. They could have been talking about someone from long ago that's already gone, but wasn't gone at the time of that conversation. Shit, they could have been talking about me, but I assure you I wasn't a festering pool of anything but oblivion. I was nowhere to be found most days. When Emily is in her interview talking about "Everybody is telling Veronica to hang in there..." they may have edited out the part where she may have completed the thought with, "Except me, I can't wait to see her fall! Ha ha ha ha (witch laugh)." She could barely keep a straight face saying it, and they cut it like she was saying it out of genuine concern for The Bad Person. Emily would probably want nothing more than for Veronica to be eaten by alligators. Do my eyes fool me? Is that Veronica and Emily shaking hands? Is that Anne talking in such a way that she is concerned for our Festering Pool of Negativity? Where's Jordan? Jessica? Polly? Oh, wrong show. Christina said something about plummeting scores making one vulnerable to getting voted off. No, actually that's the boys' strategy. Lowest score goes home on the boys team. The girls team votes by "heart". Plummeting scores don't really mean anything. Plummeting public opinion is what matters on our team. But nobody had anything against Christina. She honestly was voted off because of her score and not her personality. I am really surprised at how much she despised Veronica. She's the last person I would think would be up in her interviews talking about folks. She thanked everyone in her speech except me and Lori. Lori and I laughed about that that night. Everyone seemed to forget that Lori and I were even there. Well, Lori was on the phone or eating beef jerky. And I was at the boys' house eating seaweed all day. Not that Christina didn't mention us because she forgot. I'm sure she was just indifferent about us, or maybe she didn't even like me. Who knows? |
Squaredsc | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 04:31 pm     veronica was definately not nice on her season(one of the few rr that i saw). but i haven't seen her being not nice on this season. now ive not cared for anne and i have no opinion of christina cause i didn't see her season. i think genesis is ok. but emily could just be poisoning the others against veronica. of course i missed this weeks episode so i will have to catch up this weekend. |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 07:36 pm     Okay, <Emily needs to> go! I don't like Veronica either, but she has been pulling her weight and she kicked major butt tonight. Her elimination was wrong, plain and simple. In previous inner circle meetings, whenever <Emily> was in it she always spoke negative of Veronica; that should have given the other inner circle members pause. I'm really disappointed that Ruthie and Ellen didn't go to the other girls first and get individual feedback about how they felt about Veronica. What kills me is they always feel bad after the decision, acting like they were duped. And then the Ion circle was presented....and for a second, I screamed like a banshee, 'cause I thought that Veronica was going to stay. But Jamie <> changed his mind, disqualifying Veronica's reprieve, so Blair (who was particulary cocky this evening, so I want him gone next) gets to stay. The sooner <Emily> leaves, the better!! (c) |
Squaredsc | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 07:36 pm     well i actually caught an episode on the day it first showed. i can't believe ruthie and ellen fell for that crap emily was spewing. it would have been great if they let jamie's ion choice stand. and just like shane said, that is why they've been losing. |
Max | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 10:39 pm     I have tried and tried to find ways to like Emily, but she keeps doing stuff like this and it makes it impossible. I hope James is VERY aware of the kind of woman he's getting, because she is an excellent manipulator, has shown herself to be EXTREMELY jealous (which means she doesn't trust James at all), vindictive, and lacking in the conscious department. That Ruthie and Ellen once again fell prey to her manipulations, knowing full well from past experience that she can be passionate and less than truthful all at the same time, is just sad. At the very least, they should have called for a time out and gone to ask some of the other gals a question or two. They have an hour to deliberate and they aren't all that spread out that they couldn't have at least found a couple of people to consult. Good for Veronica for leaving without saying what was really on her mind! And good for Shane for standing up and saying that to the girls, too. Now, if Emily just screws up and loses her spot in the inner circle, maybe there will be some payback.  |
Sweetbabygirl | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 07:44 am     Very well said, Max!! |
Grooch | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 07:49 am     I think she quits the show on her own. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 09:13 am     grooch, really? are you sure? did you read that? i hope its not for a family emergency though. |
Grooch | Tuesday, March 25, 2003 - 09:19 am     Somewhere up in the archives is a spoiler. It said that one of the girls that had a great chance to win gets so angry when her bf gets voted off that she pulls out of the competition. But then again, the same spoiler also said that Puck chased a cameraman around with a machete. |
