Thanksgiving is a time for family, reflection, and now pure, unadulterated sluttiness. That’s right, The Real World: Denver kicked off its season in typical fashion, and in case you missed it (because, you know, you were traveling), here’s how to summarize it in a nutshell: like Vegas, except less cerebral. Yes, it was an action-filled premiere, or at least, the last ten minutes were. The rest of the time was spent meeting the gang, watching endless flirtations, and listening to what surely will be the first of many discussions about homosexuality and the church. You know, the usual. But just because this stuff isn’t necessarily fresh, doesn’t mean it’s bad. After all, since when are we to turn away a bunch of horny kids slutting it up for our personal enjoyment?Anyway, the show began in New Orleans, of all places, as we met Colie, a Tulane graduate who looks like a jowl-y version of The Duel’s Jodi (but sounds like a softer version of Fran Drescher). Well, we saw Colie attending her graduation, which featured keynote addresses from Presidents Clinton and Bush (Sr.). Yes, congratulations, sirs. You’ve now made it onto The Real World. A fine milestone in your careers, no doubt.
We then looked at some Very Dramatic Images of the Katrina devastation, which I assumed was this show’s ham-fisted attempt to front-load this premiere with some sort of gravitas or substance. Fear not! It wouldn’t last for long. Colie told us, “Here we are not dwelling on the past but looking to the future!” Yes, a future that involves getting drunk and slutty! Go New Orleans!
Colie then commented, “I want to bring the spirit of New Orleans with me as I come to Denver.” Listen, Colie. You seem like a sweet girl, but let’s not forget you’re from New Jersey, not the heart of St. Bernard Parish. I know there was probably a mandate to include a Katrina survivor in this cast, but seriously, if America’s Next Top Model could find a girl whose whole family had gone missing (and this was last season, no less), couldn’t MTV have found someone who’d at least lost a goldfish or something?
We then watched the new opening credits, which were cool and all. I particularly liked the end when the cast said, “The Real World! Denver!” And then in case we were total idiots, they literally added, “Colorado!” Oh, so it’s that Denver. Okay. I thought they were talking about Denver, Guam.
Well, the first person we met after Colie was Jenn, a former Raiderette, who remarkably appeared to be more Jersey girl-ish than Colie ever was. We also met Tyrie, a big lug of a man, who hopped on a train from Omaha, which then led to a sequence as both cast members looked out their respective train windows and observed the rich topography of the Rocky Mountains. Yes, it was like Manifest Destiny gone lame.
In Denver, Tyrie and Jenn met at the train station, and out of the gate, Tyrie was making googlie eyes at his new companion. “I’ve never seen so many silicon valleys, if you know what I’m saying,” he joked to us after generously rating her with an 11.5 out of 10.
Next up were Alex and Brooke, who met at the airport and shared a fancy schmancy limo to the Real World house. Alex told her, “I just party a lot,” causing Brooke to reply, “I party all the time too!” FINALLY!!! I was wondering how long it would take for The Real World to cast people who like to party!
We then headed over to Writer Square where Stephen and his super-round bean face was waiting around at a table. A blonde All-American boy named Davis soon joined him and revealed his desire to be a plastic surgeon. This wasn’t nearly as exciting to Stephen, a Howard University student, as the news that they were both Baptists. And both religious. And both huge fans of gospel music. “We gotta find a church!” Stephen said, assuming that the need to find a gay bar wasn’t also high on Davis’s list. Yes, as we knew from the casting special, Davis was this season’s token gay guy (although, he did say later in the show that he didn’t go to gay bars). Anyway, Colie suddenly showed up and joined Stephen and Davis (not to be confused with Stephen Davis), and off the bat, Davis told us, “She’s so excited to see us that I get excited to see her, and I just immediately think this is going to be one of my friends in the house.” Well, at least until you two fight over who ate who’s peanut butter.
Anyway, Jenn and Tyrie arrived at the house first, but before we could see what it looked like, we then had to go to commercial. Oh, the suspense was absolutely killing me. So much so that I decided to check in on my fantasy football roster for fifteen minutes. And then go to the bathroom. And then watch the rest of my Tivoed SNL. Nevertheless, after the break, we finally got to see the hallowed interiors of this new house, and it was just as cool and funky as usual. However, what really set this house apart from all the others was, you guessed it, the free sandwich platter from Subway. Oh, Jared! How did you know?
Meanwhile, out on the open road, Alex and Brooke approached the house, and before they got out of their limo, Brooke informed the world that “Lesbians like me.” Yes, well, you’re cute, attractive, and lacking a penis. That will usually do it.
Anyway, Brooke and Alex walked into their new home and soon there were hugs all around with Tyrie and Jenn. In a suggestion that probably surprised no one, Jenn announced that later on, everyone would have to get naked and jump in the hot tub. You know, that way they could all enjoy each other’s diseases without inhibition.
Finally, the last three roommies showed up at the house, and when Stephen saw Tyrie, he told us, “There’s another black guy in the house, and that’s gonna be real cool.” It’ll be even cooler when Tyrie beats him up for being a dweeb.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t much drama by way of room selection. The girls chose the room with three beds (also known as the narrowest room ever), and in an unusual twist, Stephen and Davis opted to share a room as well. “My best guy friend I foresee being Stephen,” Davis said, adding, “As long as he doesn’t have a big religious issue with some of the stuff I bring into the house.” Yeah, shouldn’t be a problem at all. Ultra-conservative Christian republicans LOVE the gay lifestyle!
We then learned that Colie was attracted to Alex and vice versa, but when the gang went out to get some drinks, Colie and Davis decided to hang back and chill in the hot tub. Turns out Colie and Davis actually had a mutual friend by some bizarre connection, and as a result, she knew that he was gay, making her the only one with that privileged information. (Poor Brooke, who was dying to room with a gay man, complained to her buddies, “So no one’s gay, I guess [sigh].”) Anyway, Davis told Colie that he wasn’t going to tell everyone that he was gay at first. He didn’t want to be known merely as “the gay guy,” echoing the desires of about the last ten gay men who have unsuccessfully tried to avoid the label. Instead, he had a plan for how he would let people in on his secret: “I’ll do it in stages.” We’ll see how long that lasts…
Later that night, everyone busted out the booze once again, and this time, the gang was ready for some old fashioned Truth or Dare. Someone asked Brooke if she was going to sleep with a roommate, and she said she didn’t anticipate it (that’s a yes), and then Jenn revealed that if she did sleep with someone (which she most certainly would — hello trashy makeup), it wouldn’t be awkward the next day because she’d be just like whatever (and yes, that is the sound of a delusional lie).
Ultimately, someone eventually dared Alex to kiss Colie on the neck, and so began our first outright slutty moment of the night as he went to town on her. “Best five seconds of my life!” Colie told us, leading me to wonder just how awful had the rest of the seconds been. Later on, we found Tyrie in the hot tub with Brooke and Jenn, who began making out for no discernible reason (this footage was “leaked” about a month ago, in case you forgot). Prior to the girl-on-girl action, however, Tyrie tried to make his move on Brooke by telling her, “You’re beautiful.” Unfortunately, even though Brooke claimed that the compliment made her “feel really good,” it wasn’t enough. Hence, Tyrie was left out of bi-curious adventure day 2006.
Elsewhere in the house, Colie and Alex were all on top of each other, flirting like crazy and ultimately kissing and whatnot. “I just love making out. It’s one of my hobbies. I’m good at it,” Colie said, hopefully not repeating a line from her resume. In typical drunk, needy-girl fashion, she then told Alex, “Even though we’re making out the first night we’ve met each other, it just feels right to me.” And let’s be honest: since when did a drunken hookup not wind up happily ever after?
Well, the two lovebirds wound up in his bed where she whispered something to him that I couldn’t understand. The next morning, even though the hookup had just felt right to Colie, it no longer had that je ne sais quoi about it. Basically, she wanted to avoid Alex, but that was kind of hard, seeing how they, you know, lived together now. As a result, they had forced banter down in the kitchen, but Colie told us the entire time, she just wanted to lay out in the sun. A Jersey girl wants to tan? Now I’ve heard it all!
We then cut to the backyard where the girls were all tanning, and the boys were shooting listless hoops. Fun times. Colie then provided an insightful look into the psychological motivations behind her hookup the night before: “I think my hookup with Alex happened because we’re two good-looking people who like to have fun, and making out is fun!” Yes, it is fun, especially when it gives you more camera time!
Colie then revealed to the girls that Alex had a really big penis (Alton big?), and already, without having seen the rest of the episode, I knew that Jenn would be going after him now. You don’t tramp yourself up like a hooker only to ignore allegedly huge Johnsons.
Meanwhile, in the house, Davis called his sister Garland and gave her the full report on the roommates. Amusingly, he referred to Alex as “a punk rock guy from Texas… he just wears shorts and t-shirts all the time.” WHOA! Crazy! That’s so punk rock! I mean, he wears shorts AND t-shirts!!! Iggy Pop would be blown a-way.
Outside, Brooke was still wondering where all the gay people were, and Tyrie, who seemed unable to hit a single shot, revealed that he didn’t mind gay people at all. He just wanted to be open and tolerant towards everyone. Yes, everyone seemed fine with homosexuality. Everyone but Stephen, who was ironically busy futzing around in the closet. Well, the next day, the whole gang headed out to a bar to do shots, and Jenn asked if anyone was gay. Davis replied that he was, causing Stephen to do a “wha-whaaaa?” reaction. So much for letting people know in stages…
Anyway, conservative Stephen was absolutely thrown for a loop by this news, asking, “Are you sure?” To which Davis replied, “No, I’m not sure. I just had a sudden urge to shop at Ann Taylor today and thought something might be up.” Okay, he didn’t say that. Davis merely reiterated that yes he was sure, and yes he was still a Christian. Well, Stephen could not process this at all. A devout Baptist who was gay too? What the??? His head was literally about to explode, which would be a shame since his head was the roundest head in the history of mankind. Things went from bad to worse when Stephen learned that Davis even had a boyfriend. “He said he had a boyfriend, and that just baffles me!” an astounded Stephen told us. Even worse, Davis then revealed that he had come out of the closet to his frat. “Your FRAT KNOWS????” Stephen balked. Brother needed a cold compress and some Tylenol STAT!
Ultimately, Stephen wound up telling us, “This is a totally different experience than I thought it was going to be.” Yes, who would have ever thought there’d be one of those gays on The Real World. Groundbreaking!
Later on, we found Brooke and Davis squatting on the street for now reason. He told her about his upbringing and how his mom can’t accept that he’s gay and whatnot. She apparently still thought he was possessed by demons. Listen, lady, what do you expect when you name one of your children Garland?
Back at the house, the roomies all got primped and ready for another night of partying, and in the case of Jenn, that meant it was time to bust out the Fuck Me boots. While she revved up her inner (well, outer too) skank, Stephen and Davis had a very serious talk about homosexuality. As you can imagine, it was filled with all sorts of articulate opinions. “I think it’s wrong that you’re gay,” Stephen said boldly.
Too bad he didn’t count on Davis replying with, “What if I said I think it’s wrong that you’re black.” Ooooh! Gotcha!!!
“Time out!” Stephen retorted. Huminah huminah huminah. Stephen then told us, “I didn’t choose to be black… they choose to be gay.” Ah, the lovely smell of ignorance. Ultimately, Stephen and Davis realized they weren’t going to change anyone’s viewpoints, so they agreed to disagree, noting that the most important thing was that they be able to simply get along. They shook on it, but something tells me they won’t be going to church together…
With our token bit of socially conscious discussion over, it was time to get back to the scandalous adventures of the Man-Slut Alex. He revealed to the girls his tattoo, which simply said “Hey!” I didn’t know whether to roll my eyes at the stupidity of such a tattoo, or to laugh heartily at its Mischa Barton-esque nature. Ultimately, I decided it was about ten times better than the pretentious shit people slap on their bodies; so even though it was silly, I couldn’t bash Alex too much. I could, however, deride him for using a dumb font. Seriously? Comic Sans? That shit will be with you for the rest of your life!
Jenn then revealed that she didn’t have any tattoos (mild shock), but she really wanted a set of lips on her ass. You know, because that’s not extremely trashy at all.
For whatever reason, Colie then gushed to us about Jenn, saying, “From what I’ve learned about her so far, she’s a genuine, good friend.” This, by the way, was the same instinct that led her to believe that hooking up with Alex felt ever so right.
Speaking of which, over at the club, Colie and Alex began to hook up again, and Jenn told us, “You know, they’re both so hot, it works.” God forbid they forge a romance based on, you know, “personality,” whatever that is.
We then had a flashback to Spring Break: Undercover (you know what I’m talking about) as Colie, Jen and Alex engaged in a three-way kiss. As hard as these fools tried, they still had nothing on Vegas.
Later on, Colie and Alex continued to swap spit back at the house, leaving poor Jenn to sit alone on a couch with no penis to fondle with. Well, that wouldn’t last for long. Colie then headed upstairs to her bed and told Alex to join her. He said he’d be right up, but as soon as she was gone, Jenn pounced. Flirting would be an understatement. She was all over Alex, and while Colie passed out in her own bed, waiting for her knight in shining “Hey!” tattoo, Jenn went to town. She and Alex popped a frozen pizza in the oven and then commenced making out in the living room. And Jenn wonders why she doesn’t have a lot of girl friends…
Well, Alex and Jenn soon moved their fun times into the guest bedroom, and just when things were gonna get hot and heavy, the oven alarm just happened to go off. I’m not saying it was producer intervention, I’m just saying it was highly coincidental. Well, the alarm woke up Colie, who trekked downstairs to investigate. She pulled the pizza out of the oven, and then tried to find Alex and Jenn, who clearly were to blame for this culinary neglect. Sure enough, Colie found the two in the guest room, pretending like they hadn’t just been making out two seconds prior. She could tell what was going on, but she didn’t flip out or anything. She was just upset that Alex hadn’t spread his man-slut cheer to her bedroom too. What Colie didn’t understand was that Alex was a fickle beast. He didn’t want to be weighed down by one slut over another. He wanted the freedom to spread his STDs at a pace he was accustomed to. Basically, he feared that Colie may have been developing a crush whereas Jenn was just having fun. This led to a dumb “talk” by Alex to Colie, clarifying the situation, and when she returned to her bed alone and sad, he resumed activities with Jenn in the guest bedroom. Huzzah!
It was all going swimmingly until Jenn suddenly had a crisis of conscience. She realized she was having sex! With the guy that Colie liked! And if she continued, Colie would get hurt! She liked Colie too much to do that to her. But then again, she also like Alex too. What would Jenn do???
And just like that, the premiere ended. Eh. Decent. The antics in the last act were amusing, but a lot of the sexual activity just seemed like more wannabe career reality stars jockeying for attention — or at least the next spot on the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. What did you think about the premiere?

Quickest recap ever?
Anyway, I liked the premiere. This season looks to be slutty and drama-filled, just like I like my Real World seasons. Alex looks like a child molester, but I have to give it up to him (hell, everyone else did), who knew he’d hook up with two of his roomates in little over a day?
Jenn thinks the Raiders are the “most prestigious” football team? Did the Dallas Cowboys and their cheerleaders slip her radar?
Damn, B-Side this has to be a new record.
First, I’d like to say that thankfully NONE of the roommates are originally from Denver so don’t judge on their behavior. Second, while Above the Tavern (formally Above the Dove) is a really cool place, not to mention frozen drinks that will knock you on your ass if you’re not careful, the other club you saw Monark SUCKS. I did like the guy flipping off the camera behind Colie and Alex kissing though.
As to the cast, well, it should be an interesting year. This may be the sluttiest cast since Vegas.
And holy cow, MYL the new after show host!
1. I noticed the “COLORADO!” scream in the opening credits as well.
2. Colie Reminds me of a mix between Jodi and Robin.
and 3. I knew I recognized the Aftershow guy froom somewhere!
2 favorite moments:
Slutty chick 1 stating she cheers for the most prestigious team in the NFL…who are currently 2-8.
Slutty chick 2 (or maybe 1?) stating that she “all of a sudden realized” she was having sex. Priceless.
Tyrie seems cool, I wonder what is the reason he wants to fight davis.
I was thinking the samething b-side when both davis and brooke where crouching on the sidewalk. Why didn’t they just stand up like normal people?
Alex is cool too since he hooked up with both of the girls, but for some reason he looks very feminine to me.
None of the girls are hot but the previews make the season seem somewhat interesting.
Ah, first off, B-side will you marry me? I think you are the greatest thing since sliced quizno’s bread (notice I didn’t say regular sliced bread. That elicits visions of a pile of mushy, pale wonder bread collecting mold in a cupboard). Anyways I think this season looks interesting, if for no other reason than Alex’s ‘hey’ tattoo. I think I’ll get one on the small of my back that says “Salutations!” or “Guten Tag!” I was thinking the same thing when Jenn said the Raider’s were the most prestgious (sp) team in football. Also, I think I have an inclination why homegirl doesn’t have many female friends, although I can’t quite put my finger on it….hmmmm….
I just signed up. I have been reading tvgasm recaps forever but I really got a kick out of this one!
I liked the way this Real World started (very Vegas) and hopefully this isn’t it i.e. they have their fling first day and then start sleeping with the unsuspecting populace of Denver rather then feed on their own.
Look forward to next weeks recap.
First of all, B-Side, you are the man.
Second of all, Jodi (excuse me, Whatshername) is the dumbest chick EVER.
Third of all, I thought for a second that the club that the cast went to was called “Mantorok”, which would have meant that somebody in Denver was a huge fan of the Gamecube game “Eternal Darkness”.
Fourth of all, it’s refreshing to see that a black guy is the most ignorant person in the cast. Yay for affirmitive action!
Fifth of all, Alex is my new idol. Dude gets two chicks in two days and doesn’t give a damn about feelings. Sure, in ten years, he’s going to be a fat guy hitting on 21-year-old chicks while competing in RR/RW Challenges, but for now, he is the shit.
We got two attention whores, I smell fun. One gay guy, shocker. One utlra BLACK conservative, isn’t that an oxymoron? One chick who will try her hardest to not be a slut, we will see how that works out for her. One frat guy, who by the way is the farthest thing from punk rock EVER, seriously in what way is he punk, my dad is more punk than this dude, and my dad rocks…. he likes Nine Inch Nails, nuff said. And one black guy who seems like the most normal of the bunch. I can see why he might end up flying off the handle later on in the season. It might have something to do with the fact that he is surrounded by complete morons!! And I love it, its like watching a car wreck, I cant get enough!!

I’ve never liked the real World when its ALL about sex… but they definately went out and picked some sluts this season…So if this season turns out like Vegas than I’m out. Its boring, because RW never gets as scandalous as Big Brother and some of those shows so its a waste of a season.
Thank you B-Side for your insightful comments!
Jenn would fit perfectly in Long Island.
And Jersey has alot better to offer than Colie. Blech.
I thought Alex might be the gay one because of his eyebrows and earrings, plus his tattoo.
Davis is hott, but oh well.
Did anyone else notice the lack of popular music in this episode? They only used that bland elevator music sounding stuff.
Colie twitches a lot when she speaks..
Jenn is a typical Martinez/Concord white (or latin?) chick. The cheap make-up, cheap clothes, and crispy hair. I’m waiting for her to sport the huge hoop earrings and lipliner with no lipstick look.
Stephen is pretty effeminate too. Tyrie is the only man in that show.
um yeah i wont be watching this season. i only got stuck watching this shit cuz my husband wanted to see it. i hate everyone in the house especially the girls. and if u ask me, it looks like there are 3 gay guys in the house.
This season is going to make Las Vegas look TAME (speaking of which, did anyone else catch the L.V. marathon on MTV last week? It was awesome! And it actually had some SUBSTANCE compared to the latest RW’s.) Anyway….
Thoughts:
1. Real World! DENVER! COLORADO! No shit! Thanks for the georgraphy lesson, MTV.
2. Alex is gross and not even remotely attractive. His smile is freaking CREEPY and I think he is definatley gay. I wonder if he will be coming out anytime soon. The girls seemed attracted to him instantly, cuz let’s see what their other options are: Ultra Conservative guy, gay guy, Tyree (who I personally dont have a problem with) and Alex. And I would LOOOVE to hear the story behind his “Hey!” tatoo. Hmmm maybe that’s his frist clue of coming out of the closet?!? Heeeeeeyyy!
2. I too thought it was lame to pick a Jersey girl who so happened to go to school in Tulane for the cast. This is worse than Diem’s cancer sympathy.
3. The house…ehhh it’s ok but damn its’ really SMALL! I have seen the outside of the house on Market St. and it is very tiny compared to other RW houses.
The courtyard is really small too…and half of it is taken up by a b-ball court!?!?
4. The Jenn/Alex scene of them getting busted was the funniest EVER! Did you see the way he BOLTED for the floor and she was trying to button up her pants and put her belt back on? Then she gave up and just rolled on her stomach. Freaking FUNNNNYYY.
This season looks alright…I can NEVER give up on RW, no matter how hard I try to save some brain cells. But this season looks just as drunkenly slutty as ever. They might as well change the name to “Real Sluts”.
I thought Alex was gay. I’m still not convinced he’s straight. And ugh OF COURSE Colie had to be from NJ. Bring on the stereotypes! WTF do they do their castings at the mall in Paramus?
Well I have to agree that Alex just looks super gay and he is not even remotely atractive IMO. I think Davis is the cutest one but oh well… This season looks somewhat promising so I’m hoping for the best. We’ll see how it goes. Great recap as usual B-Side
BTW what is wrong with this TypeKey thing? I had to create a new account cause it wouldn’t let me log in with my old one (MichellePR),that sucks.
my observations. as for the house, ugh! i don’t consider a jeep for a bar, creepy stuffed animal heads, and ski lift in the house super dope living quarters. theyre literally making the city of denver and the mountains the freakin theme of the house. there were no slot machines or crap tables in the vegas house. sheesh! as for the cast, theres nothing i can say that hasnt been said already. but brooke is super freakin annoying and i swear jenn was gonna rip brooke’s head out of her socket during the hot tub makeout session. and the comments about “Stephen and his super-round bean face” were funny as hell.
on another note to you all fellow commenters, can you please watch the grammar and spelling. this is a major pet peeve of mine and some of your spelling is pissing me off. sorry, i hate bad grammar

The show seems to be off to a promising enough start but I’m a little concerned for when these Real Worlders start Outward Bounding. I did an OB rafting and canyoneering trip last year and it was the TOUGHEST challenge I’ve ever encountered in my life…and I’d like to think that I have my shit together. Also OB preaches things like “sensible self-denial”, “tenacity in persuit” and “above all, compassion”. The company generally frowns on sexual activity between participants and debauchery. Should be interesting…
Did anyone else notice the weird editing? In the episode, it was made to look like Davis told everyone he was gay on the second day, but everyone was still wearing the same clothes they were wearing when they got there (Jenn in her black tank & hat, Stephen in the yellow shirt). Either I’m crazy, or MTV editing is so shady!
Otherwise, should be an interesting season. I wasn’t sure I was going to watch it this season, but of course now I am hooked!
i really think that jenn’s eyebrows are Sharpie. i’m just sayin’ that’s all….
hey guys=]
im new to the comment section although iv been a tvgasm reader for some time now..
so the real world denver! COLORADO!…looks to be a promising season. Although they are clearly trying to be the next vegas, they were pretty entertaining.
some thoughts:
Alex is not cute. At all.
Jenn is the poster child for stereotypical jersey girl. Perhaps she lied about her origins?
Colie is obviously attention starved..STAGE FIVE CLINGER ALERT!!
Stephen is ehh. Not much to say about him. I think his “I’m religious blah blah” is gonna get old reeeeal soon.
Davis is adorable and seems normal enough for now. I’m sure thatll probably change though.
Tyrie might just be the most sane out of the house. I don’t see him getting wasted and making a fool of himself often.
Brooke I dont mind either. I think she’s trying to stay out of the “drama” but im sure she will eventually crack too.
SO yeaaah i’m quite excited for the season..
and well i think all u guys on tvgasm are awesome. lookin forward to chatting with yall.
MTVwhoreInTX – I have this pet peeve about people making duplicate posts. All you have to do is hit the button once and then wait… and the fact that you’re not doing that is really pissing me off.
Actually, my pet peeve is when people take things way too seriously. Get over it.
kudos to u, tj, put here inn here placcee….how u like that MTVwhore? lol
The season looks promising, hopefully it delivers. Has anybody notice how on Chappelle’s Mad Real world, the black, thuggish dude aka Charlie Murphy was named Tyrie and the former thug is Tyrie. I find that pretty humorous, i wonder if the Mad Real World influenced the pick of Tyrie.
tj and brigasm, I sekund yoar opinyuns abowt MTVWhore.
MTVWhore, my peht peev is wen peeple dohnt use propurr punctuashun or capps. also hate fragmented sentences.
On another note, it seems like this season will be full of sex and drama, just like all the others. Let’s hope we don’t have another Danny/Melinda saga!
I think the gang will enjoy Denver!Colorado! But if they really want to booze it up with other brain dead idiots, they should hang out with the students up in Boulder! Colorado!
In any case, I hope they show more of Co because it is really beautiful… except for the entire eastern half of the state. (no offense locals)
Nice recap btw!
I hope these roomies don’t give colorado a bad name! I heard they go camping a few times, probably up in Estes. Part of me wishes they would have done the season in Aspen, Estes Park or maybe even Colorado Springs, but I’ve always loved Denver.
TJ—thanks, that was funny. i got annoyed by the whore’s comment.
I think I like the RW shows when there aren’t any slutty girls. Alex is not even cute. The only reason why these girls want him, is because they don’t have any choice. This cast annoys me. But i think i always say that every season but i end up getting into it. hehe. I just like the drama….drama is better then watching a bunch of slutty girls. Yeah, they’re parents look real proud of how they raised their kids =)
My only fear is that this season will have all sorts of drunken hijinks, but not much by way of substance (or as much substance as a season can have). Whenever a premiere kicks off wiht lots of hooking up and stuff, I sense we’re in the company of a bunch of kids who desperately want to be on TV, and that undermines the “authenticity” of the show.
Besides, in terms of trashiness, as hard as this cast tries, they can’t compete with Vegas.
TJ- Thank you, you took the words right out of my mouth. If bad spelling pisses you off stay off the site, don’t tell the author how to re-cap to accommodate you..
COLO’RAD’O- Great idea, about Colorado Springs. I live in the Springs and there is a lot of stuff to do (Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Glen Eyrie, etc.,.)… but I don’t think our downtown is big enough to host a group of seven drunks.. plus MTV seems to like bigger cities..
Out of the cast, I like Brooke, Tyrie, and Davis. I liked Colie at first cause she did come off as a secure person until I saw how clingy she got with Alex… it’s too bad. Alex is NOT hot, he sure seems to think he is though. That audition video of him dancing shirtless has traumatized me for life.
Hate the show already! I have an idea for MTV-have the castmates be under 21 so we can see some drama that isn’t induced by drinking-ahhh for the good old days of the real world when it was real.
yes, i double posted. boo. retaliation comments were expected. see ya thursday
Top Signs I Am No Longer A Member of MTV’s Core Audience (i.e. Too Old):
The first major discussion in the house centers around who is going to sleep with who, not what people do with their lives. This does not interest me in the least.
Roommates commence sleeping with eachother on day 1.
“I just party alot” is now considered a lifestyle.
MTV’s core audience, as evidenced by MTVwhoreinTX’s post, are illiterate, unable to write or speak in complete sentences, use capital letters, or punctuation, yet idiotically complain about the spelling and grammar of others.
MTV will remind its audience at the beginning of each show that Denver is not the name of a state, but the capital city of Colorado.
I miss the days of roommates actually going out to get a job and earn money during the show, hence displaying some of reality that is “the real world.”
Apparently young people today can have sex, and “all of a sudden” realize that they are having sex.
I watched last season because I know Paula’s sister, however I officially give up on Bunim/Murray. The Real World is no longer real, nor representative of the world. Go ahead, call me old.
Gots to agree with Mr. Usual Suspects here, and I’m an ancient 20 years old. Then again, because of the way that MTV talks down to its audience, the recaps become much more awesome, as B-Side and everybody on Tvgasm will go to town on the idiotic behavior of these kids.
Oh, and if Danny Douchebag had to find a job serving burgers while he was in New Orleans, I would have lost my shit laughing.
I too agree with Keyser. I’m too old for the reality drama on MTV and he does give a good explaination for all the grammatical errors. I suppose I live vicariously through the young spinnsters on the RW. No matter how much i say I don’t want to watch, I do. its addicting
yeah, this season looks like crap, just like all the other seasons after the first one. I remember how great the first Real world new york was The cast was actual real people and not wannabe actors and reality stars. None of the guys are hot and the girls are all trashy and not very pretty either. If Jen didn’t have her fake titties and mask o’ makeup she’d be typical Walnut Creek skanky trash. We here in Oakland laugh about girls like her who are all too common in parts like Concord, Martinez and Walnut Creek.
The RW: Denver cast is cheesy.
The cast, as a whole, seems much less attractive than previous casts. They’re all nice looking, but there are no MJ, Melinda or Svetlana types. I think Brooke is the most attractive of the girls, Jenn is super-trashy. I also REALLY didn’t appreciate the whole “Brooke-back Mountain” deal in the hot tub. It was gross.
Colie is a goober. She reminds me of that head-job Sarah, from Philly.
The drinking and whoring around don’t really bother me too much, but I really hope there’s going to be some good drama/issues/craziness.
I have a feeling Brooke is going to be good for some crazy-time. Both parents being shrinks pretty much guarantees that she’s going to be a nut-job.
I had kind of hoped that the ratio would be 4 girls to 3 guys. More girls usually = more drama!
You know, I like Tyrie right now (as everyone else seems to), but I’m wary. He seems to fit the mold of cast members who seem quiet and nice at first, but then become a weird asshole FOR NO REASON AT ALL. Examples: Karamo, Wes, and Tyler.
I got my eye on you, Tyrie.
Actually, I think that Colie looks like Jodi’s twin. Seriously.
What is Colie’s deal with telling us how much she likes to “make out”? I didn’t realize they let 15 year olds on the show. We all know what she really likes doing.
I haven’t watched RW since Chicago, but i might start again just to follow along with the recaps. But then again, the recaps are much better. I’m just so sick of RW just being a bunch of losers who drink and have sex with each other. It gets old so fast.
BTW……..
Alex’s face in that picture annoys/scares the shit out of me.
WTF is uuuuuuup with these chicks who find him attractive?? Ugh!
I got a little gay vibe from Alex too, not only because of the low-rise jeans enhanced tattoo, or the piercings, or the hair that he takes an hour on to make it look like he didn’t, but the fact that he said he “loves to make out with PEOPLE.” He totally played the pronoun game. A game I excelled at in college..”I’m dating someone now. We are having a great time. You’ll have to meet them.”
I was completely disappointed with this cast.
We live in Denver, COLORADO!!! My mother, who has never watched an episode of the Real World in her life, watched this premier. She said “It was nothing but soft core porn.” I have to agree, but in all acutality what reality show isn’t these days. If only we all made out in hot tubs, three way kissed in clubs and danced recklessly next to a bar where people are calmly sipping their cocktails.
I tend to forget these people are 21-24 and are therefore fairly immature. However, Colie is a COLLEGE GRADUATE!! I cannot believe someone gave her a freaking degree. Sad state of affairs.
First of all, on the pic Colie slightly resembles Eva Longoria, 2nd of all, B-Side do you have a new girlfriend that is taking up your time nowadays? Your recaps are so short and rushed, I still appreciate them, but…..=(
The Real World is completely fake at this point, and I don’t believe the age of the participants has anything to do with it. I’m 24, a college grad, and decided to go out and get an actual job after graduation, not “embark on a new journey” to be an attention starved reality whore. I found the show much better when it wasn’t about fulfilling stereotypes and cast members actually pursued their own interests/jobs instead of half assing some contrived project.
i will still religiously watch real world but sadly their formula is getting weak…i guess they think if they throw a bunch of drunk whores in the mix it’s an automatic hit…i miss seasons like Miami and Hawaii
I can’t believe what this show has become. I miss the days of New York, San Fransisco and London, where actual real people were cast (i.e, Heather and Sharon). I think you have to submit your measurements if you even want to be considered now. As much as I loved college and going out during the week, I still graduated, got a respectable job, and grew up. This cast is just that. A “cast” of characters trying to get their name into the industry.
I wish I had been paying more attention to the show and not the newspaper I was reading, because I totally missed the ‘hey’ tattoo everyone has been talking about. Does anyone have a screencap of it?
No screencaps, B-Side? Tear, tear.
okay, I’m surprised no one picked up on this yet..but iit’s interesting that Davi’s mother has such an issue with her son being gay considering her choice of names for her kids.
(bette) Davis & (judy) garland.
2 big gay icons.
I hope that Stephen doesn’t turn out to be a huge douche about the religion/gay conflict.
although – it looks like a lot of conflict is in the works..
As a science nerd, I shudder to think about the walking STD gallery that is Jenn. I think SHE should have a “hey!” tattoo, followed by small print listing the surgeon general’s warning regarding the vast bacterial and viral flora in her nether regions.
Are young people so attention starved that they keep signing up for this show? Do they not learn anything from the prior seasons? Do they really believe their exploits will get them lucrative endorsement deals and Oscar worthy movie roles? Really now: have we already forgotten about those train wreacks named Trishelle and Tonya? No one on this show ever goes far– to my knowledge Eric Nies is about the only one who has really made a good living from his stint on RW– without being a total a*hole while being on the show.
Yes RW has beens will forever be doomed to live off of prize money from RW/RR challenges and from getting paid to make appearences at clubs. I guess for some people that’s something to aspire to. It’s sad since most RW casts are in college or graduated, such a waste.
ABC Girl – Jacinda Barrett from Real World London and Mallory Synder from RW Paris fared pretty well. Jacinda is now an actress and was actually in the 2nd Bridget Jones Diary and Mallory is a model for Abercrombie.
The losers that keep coming back for “fame” seem to be.. Tina, Beth, Derrick… even Coral and Veronica grew up and stopped doing challenges.
sloppy seconds, I was totaly was reminded of the Mad Real World too! Funny how that character was named Tyrie and this guys is Tyrie.
I’m not a fan of this season so far. The girls are annoying.
I didn’t read all of the comments so I may be repeating what someone else has said but here goes.
B-Side, I also caught Stephen’s comment “This is not what I was expecting” regarding Davis being gay. Are you kidding me? Have you never watched Real World before? The cast is so predictable. What is it with MTV picking girls that look alike? Colie and Jen are interchangeable. Just like the two girls on Vegas (don’t remember their names but I always got them mixed up). MTV, please hire a maid for these slobs. What is the point in having such a nice place when they trash it the first day. And you know if never looks the same again.
LeslieAnn25,
That was the other point I wanted to make. It isn’t that everyone is hot but they are all skinny and buff. Some of us just want to see real people. Seems like Vegas was the first season where the girls were a size 0 and the guys were buff. Real World? yeah right.
I finally saw Alex’s ‘hey!’ tattoo. What a loser.
It’s been 6 years! Now its time to re-read, laugh at it all. So happy to have my baby back to normal!
