Dammit! I was all ready to not watch this season, as I neglected to watch last season, as I've long since been frustrated by the shows format. To think, there was a time when it was just average teens and 20 somethings in a domicile, where the only requirement was that it house seven people. But the digs keep getting more and more extravagant, and are constructed for the purposes of forcing hook-ups! I have a friend in Boston that lives in an old boarding home with eight other women, that hasn't been renovated since the 1920s, and everyone had their own bedroom. But the seven roommates in the Real World cast have to share three rooms?!? Not only do we want the roommates to hook up, we want them to have an audience, because at any given time, a roommates in the room trying to sleep.
Then on top of that, they're provided with jobs, AND get an all expenses paid trip at the tailend of the season?!?! The Real World indeed!
. . . . .But dammit if the Denver season has managed to hook me in from the get-go!! I love how some cast members are actually expecting and demanding a roommate be gay. Just 'cause they think it'll be fun. And of course, the fact that there are actually two black guys is interesting. But one hates fairies, and the other appears to join the ranks of other Real World "angry negros". Why is Jenn even a part of this season? Yeah, I don't know if I could take pride in being a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, of all teams, but are you that much of a fame ****e that you have to resort to being a member of the Real World? Of course, her hooking up with the stoner/frat dude indicates she's just an all-around ****e. And Colie's just a ditz.
It's just all so hilarious, because they all seem aware of their "roles" and expect each other to play those "roles", and they play them anyway!! They're perfectly content to be caricatures of real people!
