Abram and Brad Play With Their Balls - 
by J-Unit
Why is it so satisfying to watch people in their twenties act like five year olds? Once upon a time, the Real World was almost like social experiment. In college, I took a class where one of the professors lectured a couple of times on Pedro Zamora and what his time on the Real World did for both HIV/AIDS awareness and gay rights. Needless to say, those days are over. The Real World quickly became a franchise, adding Road Rules and then the challenge seasons. Every person is now a caricature, and that is what makes this season of the Real World/Road Rules challenge so great. They no longer have anything to teach us, but they are still entertaining. To sum it up in one sentence, we have gone from social experiment to atomic wedgies in just a little over ten years.
No good reunion shows is complete without the obligatory shots of the beautiful young people as they are out getting drunk, grinding bodies, and just plain having fun. Anybody who has had a little too much alcohol on occasion knows all of the foolish things you do when you are drunk, whether it be random nudity or the innocent prank. You might do something stupid, but you get over it and usually have a pretty good laugh after it is all said and done. So when Mike gave Brad a wedgie, he probably thought it would just go down in the annals of the Miz as just another hilarious notch on the Miz belt of goofy life experiences.
Well, the Miz doesn't give anybody any ordinary wedgie. A Miz-delivered wedgie must be of the atomic variety. For those of you who don't know what an atomic wedgie is, it is a wedgie that's pulled so hard and so far that you rip the elastic off the underwear of the poor victim. If you get a good grip, you can rip the underwear off completely. At first, it looked like Brad was completely OK with it, but after a while, a little light went off in his head that said "somebody just pulled your underwear off, it didn't involve a woman, and there was no possibility of sex". When you take that information into account, suddenly it's not so much of a game anymore.
Brad went completely ballistic, but the problem was that everybody was so drunk, they couldn't tell if he was serious or not. He was acting like an ass, throwing people around and yelling at his teammates. Unfortunately for him, the more of a scene he made, the more people just started laughing at him. Brad was completely serious and continued to ask for an explanation when everybody was back at the house. For his part, Mike did try and talk with Brad and calm him down, although Brad didn't want to listen. "Congratulations son, you're a meathead, but don't ever put your hands in my udnerwear". Derrick eventually came to Brad's defense, saying "We're not in seventh grade anymore, you don't need to be giving anybody wedgies". The good guys really have no hope if they are starting to take behavioral advice from Derrick. That's sort of like taking grooming tips from the homeless.
