Ah, The Real World. What other show can go from a relatively gripping episode about racism to a dull thirty minutes focusing on one oaf’s desire to get laid? In tried and true fashion, all those pesky “real world” issues suddenly evaporated, and it was horniness as usual in the Denver house. This week, Tyrie stepped up to be the resident player caught between two women, and the results were… not so fascinating. Still, we had plenty of unintentional humor along the way as well as what looked to be the lamest ski trip ever to be documented on television. Just another week in Denver! (COLORADO!!!!)This week’s show started off with Tyrie and Davis cooking in the kitchen, all lingering racial tensions put aside for the sake of preparing edible eggs (that didn’t look so edible, by the way). Tyrie announced that he wanted some ass, which caused Davis to suggest that maybe he should bring some ladies to the house. Huh. What a revelatory idea!
That night at the club, Tyrie suddenly found himself in a sea of breasty women, and no one was more excited than… Stephen? “There are a million girls out here in Denver!” he told us, adding, “And absolutely none of them will be sleeping with me!” Okay, he didn’t say that. He instead just continued bopping around like an oversized pea with a torso, and meanwhile, Tyrie moved in on a pretty girl named Ashley, or as I like to call her, JANELLE FROM KEY WEST. We had some major doppleganger issues going on here. Anyway, Tyrie got her digits, and it seemed like he was well on his way to bootyville.
The next night, Tyrie went out again, and this time around, he met a girl named Jazalle (pronounced like Giselle, spelled like INCORRECT). With her body pressed up against his, she told him, “You wait for tomorrow… Reggae on the Roof! You’re gonna fall back and be like ‘What?’ I swear. Go. It’s crazy!” This caused Tyrie to then tell us, “This girl is smart, and she’s sexy!” Yes, all signs point to utter brilliance… Wait until she tells him about Old Country Buffet in downtown. Tyrie will think she’s an astrophysicist!
In B-Story news, Davis announced that he would be planning a ski trip, which was kind of odd since this show was taped in the summer, but I guess in COLORADO!!! it’s not unfathomable to ski year-round. Sadly, the early planning stages hit a snag as Davis discovered that probably no one wanted to go. Brooke, making her first of two five-second appearances this episode, sweetly denied her roommate, saying, “I’m much more of a sun person than snow.” Technically, they’re not mutually exclusive, but…. whatever. Not worth explaining her lack of logic. She should have just said, “I’m much more of a walking-around person than broken legs.”
Later on, Tyrie called up Jazalle to see what she was gonna be up to on Thursday. Duh, Tyrie. REGGAE ON THE ROOF!!! Jazalle LOVES Reggae on the Roof! I personally like Calypso on the Veranda, but that’s just me.
Tyrie then called up Ashley to see what she might be doing Thursday night, and uh oh! She was gonna be at Reggae on the Roof too! Crisis!!! By the way, we also learned that Ashley is a flight attendant. If anyone sees her on a plane, it’s your duty to share your story with us.
Anyway, faced with the dilemma of both girls being at Reggae On The Roof (not to be confused with Filene’s At The Basement), Tyrie suddenly realized he had overworked himself. “I got more games than Parker Brothers, and I got more variations of my game than Monopoly,” he told himself, thus fulfilling his weekly quota of one random pop culture reference. Additionally, “I got more variations of my game than Monopoly” wins the award for Most Awkwardly Constructed Analogy of the Week. Maybe next week he can somehow incorporate a reference to the Mandelbrot set.
Nevertheless, Tyrie was now saddled with a major dilemma: what to do about the inevitable Ashl-azalle meeting? Resident genius Alex said that he should invite both girls to the club and see which one he’s vibing with more. He then added, “Also, be sure to tell one of them that you’re gonna make out with her, but then while she’s waiting for you, cook a frozen pizza and have sex with the other.”
Well, at the club, we found Jenn and Colie and some others acting like total idiots. Also lingering around were Ashley and Jazalle. Dunh dunh DUNH!
Tyrie seemed to be hanging out more with the latter (on account of her brains and whatnot) while Stephen occupied Ashley’s time. “I’m a good wing man. I’ve been a wingman for several years,” he told us proudly. Yes, Stephen was such a good wingman that he told Ashley, “Tyrie likes you.” Well done! Hey, Mr. Wingman, in case you didn’t realize, TYRIE WAS PRACTICALLY MAKING OUT WITH JAZALLE.
Okay, so maybe Stephen wasn’t the greatest wingman. That didn’t mean he was terrible, right? Uh… actually, he was ghastly. Without consulting with Tyrie, he invited Ashley back to the house, which was unfortunate since Tyrie had already selected Jazalle to be his lucky lady. When the big man discovered what shenanigans Stephen had gotten up to, he went mildly Leeroy Jenkins and told Stephen to not allow Ashley to come back to the house. Basically, it was like watching a black version of Jack Tripper and Larry.
Well, Stephen went back to Ashley and told her she couldn’t come to the house. “Why can’t we come over and hang out?” she asked underestandably.
“I don’t know,” Stephen replied. Well done, WINGMAN.
After the break, Stephen realized that “Dunno” might not have been the most effective subterfuge tactic, and so he spouted out all sorts of ridiculous lies, saying that there was a limit to how many guests each person could bring back, and it had been exceeded and whatnot. It almost seemed like Stephen had saved the day, but then he added that Tyrie “Don’t got nobody coming back to the house!” That was the equivalent of saying, “There are too many people coming back to the house, but don’t worry, it’s not like Tyrie has a lady friend with him who he plans to have sex with instead of you because he likes her better.”
Well, Ashley seemed confused; so Stephen asked her to walk with him since he needed company. I thought he was going to take her to a diner or something, but no, he brought her back to the house. Worst wingman EVER. Tyrie immediately came bounding outside and told Ashley that he really liked her and blah blah blah he just couldn’t have anyone else in the house. Ashley actually fell for it and left, which meant Tyrie could get back to his main mission: conquering Jazalle.
In order to get into her pants, Tyrie busted out his “Dark Kent” persona (which was his smoother, sexier side that probably listens to the Quiet Storm and Teddy Pendergrass). He began telling Jazalle so much bullshit, but she seemed to believe it. “I’m not feeling you because you’re a beauty because you got that,” he informed her. No, the real reason he liked her was because of them brains. He said, “when you told me about your major in science…” A major in science! Wow, that’s almost as impressive as a major in reading! Nevertheless, Jazalle responded, “That’s sexy. When somebody has knowledge like that.” Yeah, nothing as arousing as a general knowledge of science!
Well, this led to some brief smooching, and afterwards, when Jazalle had already left, Tyrie reported back to the house’s reigning sluts/bridesmaids, Jenn and Colie. They didn’t really say anything of note, which isn’t really a shock, and so we just moved forward to the next morning as Davis woke up, ready to hit the slopes. Unfortunately for him, he could barely find anyone to join him. Maybe that’s because it was, you know, SUMMER.
Luckily, he found game skiers in Alex and Stephen, and as the threesome drove off to slopes, Alex said, “Even if we can’t find this place, I’m going to drive up to the nearest mountain and just roll around. Just roll around in some snow.” I’m sure that will be highly satisfying too. Luckily, there was no need for snow angels. The guys found their ski mountain, and as they pulled up, Alex asked, “Should I park somewhere?” No. Don’t park. Just hurl your bodies from the car and let it roll off the road.
Well, the guys got their skis and boots and whatnot, and we learned very quickly that Stephen was about as good of a skier as he was a wingman. Yes, that meant he was miserable. He couldn’t even get on the ski lift. Of course, neither can I, and I’d like to add that I too am a terrible wingman. So I guess Stephen and I have a lot in common. (Many a trauma were had on the Killington Bunny Hill in my youth…)
As you can tell, I’m not much of a skier, but I even I could tell you that this barely snowy slope looked terrible. It kind of reminded me or that sad feeling you get when all the snow is melting away, and all that’s left is some slick grass to ride the sled down. It’s just not as fun.
Later, Alex had sex with the ski slope.
Anyhoo, Stephen told us that the trip was fun because it brought he and Alex closer to Davis, and then it was back to Tyrie’s exciting courtship of Jazalle. (Don’t worry about Ashley — she was long gone, never to be heard from again). Anyway, Ty and Jaz went out on a date (Polka On The Lanai, perhaps?) where they exchanged precious kisses and flirtatious glances. Yes, Tyrie was well on his way to getting his rocks off… until Jazalle announced later on in bed that she wouldn’t be having sex for four months. WHAAA??? A random girl who doesn’t want to have sex on The Real World? What is she? Some sort of Science Major or something?
Well, this was a big problem for Tyrie. He wasn’t going to shut down his sexual organs! But then at the same time, did he really want to throw Jazalle to the curb. After all, as Alex mentioned, “Tyrie’s getting closer and closer to Jazalle.” Keep in mind this was all after one date.
After the commercial break, we learned that the gang would be heading out to a “Sin Party” which would be held in honor of the date, 6/6/06 (and presumably the accompanying Julia Stiles masterpiece, The Omen). Of course, Stephen stayed at home, not wanting to revel in anything named “sin,” especially not on this day of the rapture. The rest of the gang, however, seemed to grasp that a “sin party” was merely just a theme, not a mandate to murder, destroy, and defile their fellow neighbors. Jenn, Colie, Brooke, and Davis all dressed up in their slutty best, with the girls donning lingerie and Davis sporting some eyeliner for the first time in their lives. It was all trampy and fun, but oops! They kind of forgot that COLORADO!!!! is a mildly (read: very) conservative state. This party was sinful in name only. No one was dressed up in any way, which made the Real World kids stick out amusingly like a sore thumb. Awwwkward. It was like that dream where you’re in your underwear in class — only made real!
“Hey guys. I’m ready for the Kubrick sex party.”
Well, some random douchebag saw Davis with his eyeliner and asked, “Are you a fag?” It was obnoxious thing to say, especially since the guy who said it most likely masturbated to the memory of Davis afterwards. Nevertheless, Tyrie pulled the offender over and not only defended Davis but told the jerk to shut the hell up. “He’s wearing eyeliner, dude!” the kid said, clearly not realizing that Tyrie was, you know, three times his size. What is it with the air in Denver that all these little white kids think they can take down Tyrie?
Luckily, no fight broke out, and everything seemed to end peacefully. Davis told us how surprised and happy he was that Tyrie had his back, and for his part, Tyrie told us that he and Davis were “trying to push that little incident that we had behind us.” Yes, that tiny altercation. It was nothing really. Just a few threats, the n-word, screaming, crying, casual mentions of LFO. No big whoop.
Anyway, the kids all decided to leave this no-so-sinful party and head over to their favorite spot, Monarck. On their way out, however, they ran into Jazalle. You see, she was supposed to meet Tyrie at the bar, and now that he was leaving, she wanted to stay for a few minutes, causing him to get mad and blah blah blah. Tyrie told her he didn’t want to stay there because there were people who wanted to hurt him (which didn’t seem necessarily like the case, but hey, you never know). It honestly seemed to me like he was getting mad at her just so he could then break their relationship off without feeling like a jerk for dumping her ass on account of the four month sex ban.
Two hours later, Tyrie and Jazalle returned to the house where they had “a talk” about their tiff, and again, he seemed to get mad her for random, nonsensical reasons. She told him that she didn’t want him to treat her like a baby or call her “My baby” or something like that, and he started saying, “Don’t do that” and then next thing we knew, they were breaking up.
Or did they? The two went into the confessional and joked about their fight, and next thing we knew, they were making out right there against the wall. The fun times soon moved into the bedroom, and as the show ended, Tyrie revealed, “Jazalle is the first woman that’s actually gotten my heart in the past two years.” And for good reason! She’s majoring in science! You know, in a general sort of way!

OK, can we just bypass this episode and get ready for the return of Leroy Jenkins vs. the Angry Drunk Skank, Jenn?
(Although, I think that three Tyrie episodes in a row is a bit much.)
B-Side, I don’t really know how you managed to sit through it, let alone recap it so quickly…. You are my hero!
Overall, Stephen is completely useless, but black men named Stephen and the Real World don’t exactly mix…
So, we’re back to this boring, worthless episode. Hopefully the previews for the next episode live up to the hype!
A quick aside: when do these fools get their job and where are they going for their vacation?
BO-ring. I didn’t think it was possible, but…worst RW episode ever. And, after the Paris season, that’s quite an accomplishment.
Damn–I’m sure glad they dedicated a WHOLE episode to that–we’ve never seen anything like it on The Real World! They deserve an award this season for fostering stereotypes!
And is it possible for Stephen to be a bigger dolt? And why is he constantly living vicariously through other castmates?
Stephen–I think your gay is showing!
B-Side, your recap made me fall back and be like “What?”
Oh no, what does one do when they’re trying to juggle two newly made acquaintances who just want to be on TV? I think Tyrie is half cool/half delusional toad. The confessional scene with Jazawho was so lame and transparent.
Is it a running joke that Davis can’t defend himself? It is to me, at least.
Well yes, this episode sucked…hard.
But, slutty_whore, or anyone for that matter, what were the previews for next week like? My damn Tivo cut it off.
Great recap, B-Side! Hilarious and insightful as always…
P.S. Marry me!
Great recap especially considering this was such a boring episode. Love the title! Also nice Three’s Company reference!
Alex is such an idiot! As I woman I’m not trying to promote a man playing two women but Tyrie could have done it. Alex’s advice to have them both meet Tyrie at the same place on the same night? Why not go out with one on THursday and the other on Friday? THey would never know until they watched the episode and that would make everything less awkward for everyone.
Great recap B-side!
I couldn’t believe Stephen thought he was a good wingman! Why would you invite Ashley back to the house without even talking to Tyrie first to see which one he wanted to bring back?
Was Alex really wearing shorts while he was skiing? My boyfriend said he thought he had something on underneath them but it didn’t look like it to me. I can understand it was summer, but falling down in the snow wearing shorts sounds painful to me.
Steve-Next week’s preview showed a couple of the roommates talking about how Jen is an angry drunk. It looks like they are on some sort of bus or something and she gets into an argument with Tyrie. Tyrie gets in her face and looks all Leroy Jenkins again. That’s all I can remember, but it looks like it’s going to be good!
A “science” major? Either Tyrie is an idiot and didn’t understand her actual major (highly likely) or she is simultaneously majoring in biology, biochemistry, physics, chemistry, astronomy, ecology, geology, etc.
Maybe she is a bartender and thinks that her classes in “mixology” count as science?
Thanks for the speedy recap B-side. Now I don’t have to waste 30 minutes watching this crap!
Shorts for skiing? Is the guy an idiot or what?
Everytime I see “Saul” on the after show commercials, I feel so proud like a mama cub whose baby cub has taken his first steps.
Is that weird?
P.S. Colie sucks. There is nothing worse than a New Jersey/LI accent and that gravely, deep voice on a girl. Makes.me.want.to.punch.
Everyone sucks on this cast. Enough with the fake, girls/boys gone wild looking mf-ers.
Thanks dmbislove!
They should have brought both Ashley and Jazalle back to the house but hidden them from each other in different bedrooms and had Tyrie go back and forth between them. They when Mr. Furley knocked on the door they’d have a lot of explaining to do.
This was the dumbest episode of the Real World EVER. I have no interest in Tyrie playing any of his games nor do I care how many variations of Monopoly he has. Wow… interesting chicks! A Science major and a flight attendant – Way to go! Personally, I think Tyrie would be lucky to get either one of them in bed with him because he really isn’t a prize himself, so him trying to choose between them based on the ratio of looks/brain power is retarded.
I felt bad for Davis because he was trying to plan a trip that would be fun and not include alcohol (which he confessed he has a problem with last episode). HINT HINT asshole roommates: You all begged Davis to stay and you acted like you would all support him when it comes to not drinking and here he is asking for your support and you’re all shooting him down. Way to go, drunkos! It’s sad that the only people who cared to go were Steven (who probably wanted to avoid Wingman fuck-up backlash from Leeroy Jenkins) and Alex (who clearly ran out of roommates to fuck since Brooke is an Ice Queen – although she claims she’s not a “snow” person – WTF?)and is now working on Davis for his next victim. Is it me or does anyone else think that BOTH Alex and Steven seem a little gay? Hmmm….
I hate Stephen so much, he seems like such a poser. First he claims to be an excellent wingman and then he can’t come up with a half decent answer as to why Ashley couldn’t come over. Second did anyone notice how when the three were at the ski slope he said he was going to go drink some beers. Then talks to Davis about his drinking problem and how proud he is but then tells Alex to come and have beers with them too. I dunno I thought he was a prick thing to do to boast about drinking right in front of Davis.
I’m actually pretty sure that Stephen did attend the “sin party” with everyone, even though he didn’t sound like he would go at first.
Completely boring episode!
loveland is usually open until the second weekend in may, and a-basin has been known to stay open well into june.
and if you go to copper’s last weekend (usually the last of april), they have their annual teeny weeny bikini contest, when the girls ski in, you guessed it, bikinis. well, bikini tops at least.
and yes, you’ll see a lot of goofballs skiing in shorts all spring. some guys will even ski without shirts. usually just the hairy ones, though. i’ll ski in short sleeves in april and may, but that’s as dumb as i’ll get.
copygodd- you beat me to the punch. i’ve been skiing in colorado in april and there are a LOT of people in shorts.
and b-side, i have MAD love for you. but i am distraught by you calling it filene’s at the basement. there is no “at the” in there. even if you meant it as a joke, please don’t mess with filene’s dude.
Tyrie is not a “Player/Playa”. He met two women, and went for the one who was more available and accessible. That doesn’t require skill or finesse, it just means he goes for the lowest hanging fruit.
PS Tyrie: A girl who jumps in bed with you, with bunch of cameras trained on the bed, then states that she won’t fuck you until the show’s over – is playing YOU. You need to forget Monopoly, and stay within your skill-set, which appears to be on the “Go Fish” level.
Jesus, the homophobe in the bar? Denver appears to be comprised of fucking morons. OMG!!! Gays and blacks, IN THE BAR!!!! It’s like everyone who lives there is the buck-tooth, inbred progeny of the Donner Party. If the residents of Denver and it’s suburbs are really that stupid, then Harris and Klebold may have had a point. I’m just sayin’….
Jenn’s meltdown next week should be good. Maybe MTV will break even newer ground, and some Denver asshole will drop the C-Bomb.

sweetjane, rest assured the “at the” was entirely intentional.
B-Side, love the Janelle references… I was actually trying to remember her name last night and couldn’t remember it for the life of me!
Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict… love your sense of humore…. Maybe MTV sandwiches a boring episode in between two exciting ones because too much of Tyrie yelling at roommates might lead viewers to have the “angry black man” stereotype that seems to follow most black men on the show (SD’s Jacquese, this does not apply to you!)
MissKatrina, I agree, I thought that was odd when he was boasting on her being a “science” major. WTF?
How the heck does this fool think he’s a player or has game? He’s got about as much game as a 12 year old imitating a rap video. Tyrie plays himself everytime he’s on camera. Get outta here with all them damn personalities.
thank god b-side. you had me doubting your greatness for a brief moment. but never fear- i’m back on the bandwagon.
and dmbislove- i’ve only been to the filene’s in boston. but it was always well worth it. you must be in the right mood though. it is serious shopping. in the basement that is.
Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict, please do not form an opinion about Denverites, or anybody who lives in Colorado, based on what some drunk guys say at a bar. I am not racisct, a homophobe nor do I have buck teeth.
I love that both of Tyrie’s women seemed to have the same tank top on. If he had brought them both back to the house the Three’s Company Hijinks would have no doubt been in full effect.
COLO’RAD’O
I was just joking, one of my best friends lives in Denver – it’s a great city.
But, you have to admit MTV is not showing the best side of your town! I’m guessing Monarck is not indicative of the type of clubs intelligent and typical Denverites go to. Kind of like how the Austin cast managed to find the cheesiest bars in Austin – a place noted for their cool and progressive music scene!
LOL!
down here in colorado springs we are kind of homophobic. (present company excluded, of course.) that’s just what happens when focus on the family is headquartered in your town.
ted haggard, though, he loves him so men…
Hi copygodd,
I have noticed that when news events happen in Denver or Boulder, there do seem to be a lot of prayer-happy, new-age Christians. For instance, if there a were a couple of maniacs shooting up a building, I would NOT be hanging out outside the building forming a prayer-circle. I would be high-tailing it the fuck out of there! Is it just me?
I have to admit Born Again types freak me out – mainly because they usually turn out to be the biggest raging assholes on earth. And I’ll say it now, I’m NOT going to aplogize to anyone who takes offense at that.
I’m a heathen.
I think the types of bars that RW cast members hang out in are more indicative of the kind of people who are still trying out and being cast for this show than of any particular city in which it is filmed.
Hay slutty_whore,
They vacation in Thailand, as a matter a fact they were out their the same time John Mark Car was arrested their. This was posted on getrealdenver.com 4 months ago,
“ Several readers have wondered where “The Real World” Denver would be taking their annual overseas cast trip, and when they’d be taking it. Our sources close to the show have confirmed that it will be in Thailand, and that when the cast returns later this month they’ll quickly film their goodbyes and pack up for home¦
“ The “Real World” Denver shoot was expected to last 17 weeks from the final week of May, which would have put them at a late September wrap date. But because Bunim/Murray Productions has already shot enough footage for the show, they’ll actually be leaving on Aug. 30. That gives them a little less than a week to film their tearful goodbyes, since they’ll be returning from Thailand on Aug. 24.
As far as there job goes they will be working at Outward Bound. Also from getrealdenver.com it was posted way back in July.
“ We’ve known for some time that “The Real World” Denver cast were working as guides for Outward Bound, a non-profit wilderness education group. Now a story in Mississippi’s Picayune Item has confirmed where they went during their long trip a few weeks ago, and where they’ll be going the first week of August¦
“ The story says the teens were hand-selected by Terri Bailey, a local social worker and author, who was approached by MTV for the task. She interviewed them, “for the chance to be on the show and win an all-expenses-paid trip to Outward Bound in Denver, Colorado for five days and four nights. The boys’ trip is scheduled for mid-July, while the girls’ trip is scheduled for the first week of August.” (emphasis added)
“ She eventually selected ten boys and ten girls from the lot to “share their stories of loss, hope, and recovery concerning Hurricane Katrina.” But there were reservations: “¦when Bailey was first contacted by ¦ ˜The Real World’ producers, she had heard of the questionable nature of the show and was not sure if it was a good idea to send the children to the camp, where cast members from ˜The Real World’ would be acting as their counselors for the duration of the trip.
“ “However, Bailey soon realized that these amazing children had the ability to bring a new, fresh view to MTV,” the article went on to say. “‘It suddenly occurred to me the opportunity we had to change the face of MTV, if only by one episode,’ Bailey said.” (emphasis added)
“ It seems like a noble thing for MTV to do, and Bailey was right to give these teens a chance to experience something outside of their storm-ravaged hometown, but the smell of exploitation is never far from “The Real World.” It’ll be interesting to see how MTV milks it when the show airs.
Hope it answers any questions.
“If the residents of Denver and it’s suburbs are really that stupid, then Harris and Klebold may have had a point. I’m just sayin’…. ”
You may just be pushing the envelope, Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict, but references to Columbine are still an open wound in this community. I, for one, think that was a very unkind comment, at the very least.
I don’t think there is anything funny about Klebold and Harris, and I would expect that incident to remain an open wound for a long time. I guess that’s why I’m so perplexed as to why prejudicial attitudes seem so prevalent in the Denver clubs the RW cast is going to.
Knowing the terrible price so many innocent kids paid for the cruel and discriminatory acts of a few, and having had the worst example of “outcast rebellion” in history happen in your backyard, SHOULD theoretically make members of the community more sensitive to discrimination issues. Or at least more aware of the potential consequences of harrassing people based on those issues.
Didn’t the jock clique call Klebold and Harris f*gs?

I think calling people N–’s and F*ags just because they’re sharing your social space is unkind.
If I were a resident of that area of Colorado, I would be writing to the editor of the newspaper(s) and calling for a Zero Tolerance referendum on public discrimination, specifically based on the fact that the city of Denver is being badly portrayed on national television. And it is. I can’t think of another RW season that the cast members ran into that specific type of harrassment in local bars.
Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict-
I completely agree with u. When that guy walked up to Davis in the bar and said that the first thing I thought was what kinda backwoods ass town is this? Matthew Shephard immediately came to my mind…I wonder what would’ve happened if Tyrie wouldn’t have been there, that’s a scary thought. Not to mention on the episode before there’s a bouncer callin Stephen a nigger? Wow MTV sure picked a really great place to film.
I have never been to Denver but I’m sure that there are a lot of great things to that city. It’s really unfortunate that there have been some homophobic and racial comments made this season, but if you look back at different seasons there have been some of those comments made to the cast as well. Basically all locals hate the real word cast so they are pretty much all assholes to them when they are out. MTV may have chosen to show more of that this season than in the past. With all that said I’m going to stop talking about this show in such a seriouse way. The Real World was once somewhat legitimate and dealt with real stuff but we all know that is long gone now that it’s in it’s….what 17th season? There have been some messed up things this season but I think if you are watching this show for anything other than trashy entertainment you should maybe look elsewhere.
Thanks Kim!
g child, can you provide any examples of RW cast members being called N–s and F*gs, or any other type of racial/cultural epithet in public settings?
I know tensions have arisen among cast members, but I am not aware of any other public incidents where cast members were called those types of names. There have been racially charged incidents, like with Karamo (Philly) being suspected of having a gun, but no stated examples of discrimination.
I have a hard time believing MTV would edit those incidents out, as they are always incendiary – which translates to lots of drama.
Chee-Z-TeeVee,
What I meant by my statement is that there have been racial and homophobic issues that have been dealt with in past seasons. And also as I said the locals in town have always hated the REal World cast. After each season they talk about many incidents with the locals who have threatened violence and start stuff. In this season the comments have be shown to be much more extreme to say the least but I don’t think it’s because of the city. And I really don’t think it’s necessary to bring Columbine into the discussion. You could look at pretty much every state and say that there have been violence due to discrimination. Unfortunately it’s part of the world we live in and it’s something that we all need to work to change, but to I think it’s wrong to blame the city of Denver for a few assholes comments, especially based on a few episodes of the Real World.
Whoa, the conversation turned real serious here… on a lighter note I really need to say that Tyrie is not attractive, at all. His personality (and all his alter egos) suck. He’s not even remotely handsome. Don’t even get me started on Stephen. And Alex, with the receding hairline and pink t-shirts? Davis is adorable but gay. Sorry but the male cast does nothing for me. The girls may be as dumb as doorknobs but at least they’re cute to watch!
Can’t wait for next week’s episode & recap!
Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict- I agree with you about born again Christians. At least the ones I have encountered (or “celebrities” that are, such as Kirk Cameron, Blair from Facts of Life, Stephen Baldwin etc.)they seem to be the most hard-core and crazy. I guess maybe they are making up for lost time?
Stephen used the phrase “bros before ho’s” at one point. That phrase has always made me bristle a bit.
But after watching how the two women in that club acted towards Tyrie, a man they didn’t know anything about other than the fact he was being filmed for a reality show and he can speak and walk about without falling down, etc., I take it back.
They’re ho’s all right.
What just drives me up the wall is how women like that act like all they want in LIFE is to screw the guy, just pure sex. They act slutty, they talk slutty, they just scream “slut” all over the place. So when the men naturally want to screw them (and why not? It’s the message they are sending out), the girls get all wounded later.
“I thought you really cared about me”. sniffles, pouts, whines
“Where’s your respect for ME!” snivel, blubber, sob
Honey, you didn’t even take the time to find out whether he voted for Bush or not.
Maybe he even voted for him twice! How would you know? Maybe his favorite band is CREED! Eh? Ever thought about that?
Wouldn’t you feel….ew, dirty?
But, no, you didn’t bother finding out anything about the guy and here you are bumpin’ and grindin’ your nasty self all over some guy you just met.
Who listens to Creed and voted for Bush.
Twice.
Hey, you know what? Fine, if you want to screw some guy despite his execrable voting habits and lousy musical taste, fine, fine, whatever; screw him, screw him ’til his eyeballs roll out of his head and bounce across the floor like ping-pong balls.
But then don’t get all little-girl-like later when he treats you badly, and bat your eyes, and sigh and posture and whine, “but I’m really a valuable human being, a real perrrr-son.”
Blah blah blah.
If you’re so intelligent and great and wonderful, then act like it.
Ho’s indeed. Now I know why that term is used.
Those girls are way too cute for Tyrie, and for him to try and play them… please. If it weren’t for the cameras he wouldn’t get the time of day from girls who look like them.
i dont if anyone else has pointed this out – but S.I.N. night stands for service industry night- when servers, bartenders, get drink specials becuase they work in restaurants, bars, it has nothing to do with being sinful, thats how I knew these dolts were going to look like assholes when they got to the bar
OK….I don’t even think Stephen KNOWS the definition of “wing man”. He probably just heard it mentioned, thoght it sounded cool, and decided to fake his way through it. He was doing the exact OPPOSITE of what a wing man does. So maybe he thought a wingman was the guy who tried to get his friend as many chicks as possible in one night!!!
Anyway….hardly@work..good point about The Service Industry Night! I missed the beginning of the ep, but was it actually promoted that this club would be having a lingere party, or did these dumbasses just jump to a conclusion?
Also, slightly off topic. Alex’s posture really bugs me! He’s got this hunchback, slinky, smarmy thing going on. He reminds me of the Grinch or something.
From what I’ve seen thus far, it seems that Jenn, especially, would jump at any opportunity to hit the bar scene wearing as little as possible. Her SIN-night attire really didn’t look much different from what she normally wears to the clubs on any other random night on the town.
If SIN did in fact stand for “Service Industry Night,” she was probably looking to “service” as many people as she could.
It’s starting to feel like Jenn would have been better suited as a Las Vegas cast-member where many of her antics would be more accepted¦and some might even be legal.
