Kappy | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:33 pm     Thank you for the spoiler, Grooch! Yay! |
Misslibra | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:35 pm     YAY !! Great news ! I was just about to give up on this season RR because Donell didn't get voted off. |
Csnog | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 07:45 pm     YAY!!! Donell is gone! |
Abby7 | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 07:48 pm     how did he take it? |
Muse | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 09:31 pm     Pretty well. I think he knew that there was no possibility of anyone else going (since rules dictated that Tina was automatically safe as the newest person there), and had expected it to happen if they ever lost a mission. He told everyone he understood, hugged them, and cried when they said nice things about him in the RV and at his going-away dinner. Things were handled in a more open way (Chris even told everyone that they should do it that way -- no sneaky stuff like last time). Tina told Mary Beth that she was thinking about voting for her (and probably would have, if the group hadn't pretty much decided Donnell was the one to go), which I thought was pretty dumb. But I think the whole cattiness between Tina and Mary Beth is pretty immature, so... |
Seamonkey | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 11:47 pm     Really, I don't care for mary beth, but Tina is new on the scene and is a real piece of work, IMO. As for Donnell, I think the way he interacts with people is emotional blackmail and that they walk on eggs with him so had to gush over him when he left and no one really called him to task for basically refusing to study for that mission. I loved the comment that "Donnell has the attention span of a chicken".. heh But anyway, he's GONE.. and he's declared himself a huge success and that the new guy won't deserve the prize.. well, Donnell.. maybe if Cara had stayed they might have not even needed to send anyone else home.. so you lost it for her and for yourself ialong with the others who voted her out.) |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 08:44 am     Goodbye Donnell! Boy nobody ever needed to go home as much as him IMO. It's unbelievable that 3 original castmembers are gone. The people who picked these people must feel like an idiot. I agree Muse that this thing b/w Tina and Mary Beth is ridiculously catty. They're a team and there seems to be no team spirit here. I think someone needs to put this RR's season out of its misery and just end it early. |
Penpoint | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 07:48 am     In my opinion, Donell should have been taken off over the Abram incident, since he goaded him into the fight. The rest of the Road Rulers were surely not thinking when they kept Donnell over Cara. So finally with only a few weeks left, they woke up! Do you think the producers purposely cast black men with issues--like Donell and that guy on Real World Seattle who slapped Irene--in order to add tension to their productions? |
Tishala | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:05 am     In the cases of Donnell and Steven (from Seattle), it looked to me like they cast white people with issues and black men who responded to them. JMHO. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:24 am     Tishala, which white guy had issues in the case of Steven? Or in that case, I guess you mean Irene had the issues and Steven responded? I know you couldn't possibly defend what Steven did to Irene, from you're posts it seems no matter what a person does, they don't deserve to be physically attacked, and I agree with you (but don't agree with your feelings about Christena, just because she felt for Abram, as many of us did, doesn't make her a bad person IMO). |
Tishala | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:27 am     Yes. That's why I said "white people," not "white guys." Sorry you didn't catch that in my post. I also avoided "defending" what Steven did to Irene, so I am sorry you didn't catch that in my post, either. |
Grooch | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:28 am     From what I read, Stephen had the issues. He was supposed to be the gay roommate that season and at the very last moment he decided he didn't want to be "out" for the show. The other castmates knew about this and had to be quiet about it also. Irene had lyme's disease that was in remission, and it flared up again during the filming of the show. I don't know of any other issues she might have had. |
Grooch | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:34 am     But I will add, that for the most part, I do think MTV does cast a white person that does have a problem with either race or sexuality. |
Tishala | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:48 am     Well, Grooch, not that we need to return to it, but Irene gay-baited Steven when she was leaving ("we could never get married [maybe something else; i don't recall] because you are a homosexual!") and I think Steven still maintains that he is not gay. So while I think you are right about the rest of what your messages say, I'm not sure about the Steven stuff--especially since Irene went out of her way to try to "out" him, thus showing it as an "issue" for her, at the very least. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:03 am     kind of like what Donnell did to Abram.... |
Grooch | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:11 am     Your right, we really don't need to return to it, esp since the details are all blurred now. But remember, they were close friends during the show until she got sick again and started acting really weird and scaring her roommates. The lyme's was affecting her mentally as well as physically. Then Steve stole something important to her just to hurt her. I don't know why they were both trying to hurt each other at the end, but outing him was her way of doing it. I don't think she had an issue with homosexuality, per se. I had one of those Real World books at home from this cast and she was the one that stated what I mentioned above about him deciding not to be out at the last minute. I'll have to see if I still have it at home and reread what she said. I think her anger about it was directed at MTV for making them all lie about it during the shooting. It might have been her F you to MTV by announcing it. Who knows? Anyway, I think Nate was the one they cast to have the issues, not Irene. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:22 pm     After Steven was booted from one of the challenge shows, he was arrested for soliciting men for sex, not to mention stealing a car, if I remember correctly.. that was on The Smoking Gun, way back when it happened. But RW has also had some very very even-keeled black men.. my all time favorites being Mohammed from San Francisco and Malik from return to NY. I think Malik may be on the upcoming challenge season. I rhink RW casts for issues and anger and dysfunction.. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:24 pm     Grooch, it's very interesting about Steven, I never heard about that. He had a girlfriend he spoke to on the phone often if I can remember. I just assumed he was a closet homosexual, he hung out with gays, he always made sure to insist he wasn't gay, just liked hanging with them. I'm not surprised at all that he's gay and just decided to cover it up. Wow, just remembering that whole incident is just nuts, Steven should've been thrown off that show so fast, I bet if it happened now they would, but then again, they would've let Abe stay if the cast agreed so maybe I'm wrong. I look forward to hearing what your book has to say, thanks. |
Grooch | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:31 pm     What I don't understand is why they give them a choice now to stay. Remember when Glydis attacked Abe in Mexico? He called up the producers himself begging to let her stay, and they refused, citing legal liabilities and MTV's lawyers refused to let her stay. |
Tishala | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:42 pm     What is this abe/glydis thing? |
Monkeyboy | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:44 pm     Tish, during the 6th or 7th season of RR in Latin America, A female castmember beat the crap out of another team mate and was sent home. He was calling her nasty names if I recall correctly and he pushed her to the limit...Sounds familiar huh? Edited to add: His name was Abe and she was Gladys, obviously. |
Tishala | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 12:53 pm     Oh I didn't watch taht season. It turned me off inthe second week when they were doing some task I thought--I was SO PC--was so colonialist it was unwatchable. Thanks MB. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 01:32 pm     hohum They get a new male castmember .. he's hitting on marybeth right away and asking if her boobs are real and so on.. They come back to the motorhome and there is a clue for the next mission.. they let the new guy read it and it stresses that they get a good night's sleep, but new guy says have to eat dinner first.. they all follow new guy and end up staying up all night.. Mission is a challenge for money with RR campus crawl cast, except that the girl they booted is there, go figure.. So.. they will be doing challenges but also must stay awake for a long time.. 48 hrs? 24 hrs?? whatever but it becomes clear that they didn't spend their night wisely preparing as they were told to be well rested. Each team has a camcorder to be used in catching anyone who goes to sleep.. Darrel seems to be in charge of the cam for the last year's team. So of course new guy instantly bonds with one of the last year's girls and goes off to frolic.. First task which will be judged is to create tattoos.. male and female from each team to be painted by team members. Judged by a native tattooed guy/ During the painting darrel is annoying, with the cam corder, but the South Pacific team wins, probably because marybeth allowed her tattoo painting to include going topless which just beats Rachel all to heck.. But the previews seem to say that 1. new guy's frolic companion may be trying to sooth him into sleep 2. Darrel may have captured pics of three of them sleeping. Which would perhaps indicate that SP will lose the challenge.
out until next week.. yawwwn |
Kathyb | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 02:39 am     Did anyone think it was fishy that they were TOLD to get a good night's sleep yet they chose to stay up all night just before a critical competition???? With behavior like that, they don't deserve to win. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 05:41 am     I wondered if the new guy was told to try to keep them up all night .. |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 07:01 pm     I agree. I thought it was awfully strange!! I really hope last year's cast wins. And I thought it was really nice that they had what's her name back, but she's also in the new challenge. Was it only me but didn't the new guy seem kind of creepy! I can't put my finger on why, but he sort of creeps me out. |
Grooch | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 07:10 pm     It's his lips. |
Wilsonatmd | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 04:50 pm     BTW you might want to enjoy these last few eps....rumors are the show won't be back (the contract has expired and MTV hasn't said anything on any renewals) |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 10:51 am     Oh wow, thanks Wilson, personally I think they're better off getting rid of Real World over Road Rules, sure this season of RR has sucked big time, but at least they're doing something so there's more potential for a good season, RW just pure sucks no matter who they seem to cast these days. I also thought it strange and stupid for them to stay up all night when it was clear in the clue to get sleep, just for that they deserve to lose. What I'm a little confused about is, why would they bring everyone back from campus crawl? How long ago did they do the campus crawl season? I'm so over those people, Rachel we've seen on the challenge, unless they were both taped at the same time... I'm not really understanding. Yeah, the new guy has a weird mouth making him not very cute IMO, but he seems nice enough. |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 06:40 pm     Laura11103, Campus Crawl was just last season. It was ending just as Real World- Las Vegas was beginning. Most of those people are in the new challenge, so it was probably just an extra week tacked on before beginning the Challenge. |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 06:43 pm     Laura, the reason the Campus Crawl people were sent was because they taped this season right as Real World Paris was beginning to film...and it would have been too expensive and would be too time consuming to send the Paris people down, as well as it would have broken up filming there for too long. Usually, it's current casts against each other. and this might not be the last season after all...rumors are now they just will take a year off. They have the outline of where they want to go, but haven't gotten all the agreements with the locations yet (they're saying Europe). |
