These screencaps are worth a MILLION BAZILLION words!

Especially "And now on to Davis". Yeeeeeahhh, gay rumors CONFIRMED!

And Collie's man...is that a 3rd nipple he's rockin?

Stuff I thought was funny:
1) Alex and his damn alter egos. Boo for Mr. Emo.
2)Brooke got on my nerves on the 1st episode but I kinda like her now, kudos the "Brooke the Cockblocker"
3)Everytime Jenn was in the confessional, I couldn't help but stare at the 2 inch white stripe of eye makeup under her eye brow.
Everything else is same ol same ol.

I officially hate Alex. What a jerk. I hope nobody sleeps with him for the rest of the show. Not that he'd probably mind, that pink tank top was quite an interesting shirt for a straight guy to wear.

B-Side...i was thinking that same thing about the BFF situation between Colie and Jenn. How the hell is it possible to be best friends in less than 72 hours. They are both so stupid. It would be hilarious if Colie fucked some dude Jenn was into. Talk about passive-aggressive. Lets pray for that one...Alex is such a dick the whole convo was videotaped for God's sake and he was just gonna take back his offer...he should just hook up with Davis cuz the anticipation is killing me...pink, (throw a cup of water on me and i strangle to death) shirts r just screaming down low homo...(i just made a rhyme)And last but not least...Do u think Jenn has to draw on her eyebrows? I hate when women do that. Everytime I see one I pray it rains just to watch their expressionless face. Go Rattlers!!!

Colie checking for hickeys/love bites on Jenn's body while she was showering was seriously bizarre! Boundaries Colie, boundaries!

I don't think Alex is really that out of line, I mean he's been in the house three nights and alternated between Colie and Jenn each night. Seriously, are either of these twits worthy of respect? I don't think they even respect themselves.

As for Colie being at Jenn's theoretical wedding; will that entail some kind of three-way?

That guy Colie brought home was gross. He looked less than clean, and where did he get swimming trunks? Tooth decay and dental problems are communicable - Colie really needs to reevaluate her "kissing slut" plan, and talk to a dentist. Even more gross, she spends the night making out with some random dude, and then swaps DNA with Alex - eeewwwww!!!!

BTW - Amazingly fast recap B-Side! Thanks ;-).

Saul's (Madeyoulaugh's) post show show is great, except Robin is too much of a camera whore and talks over Saul too much. Can you tell him to boot her, and her gianormous silicone bags, off the show?

I can't wait for next week - I LOVE conflict! Only on TV though...

Between Alex saying last week that he likes to "make out with people," and this week he's talking about his "many alter ego's" and the numerous pink shirts, (I think I spotted him with pink nail polish on too in a scene at the end of the episode) this guy is a total flamer.

But how funny was it when Colie played him like a puppet by bringing over that dope from the bar? I reckon it was not the first time Colie used the make you jealous angle.

Alex is really lucky that he is the only straight white guy in the house, or he would have never seen any action! He really isn't very good-looking. In the preview episode, I thought that he was the gay guy of the house. He looks more gay than Davis!

This season doesn't look very promising. I think RW goes through a cycle of pretty good season followed by pretty awful season.

Great recap, B-Side! You got this out super-fast. Still waiting on The Duel recap, though. ;-)

Umm, just to clarify Jenn's comment about Colie: I am pretty sure she said that Colie will be IN her wedding. As in a bridesmaid. As a girl I can tell you this is something girls will say about other girls they love...I remember saying that about many girls I "loved" in my life. Many of whom, as it turns out, were not in my wedding. But I am sure it will work out for Colie and Jenn. They have already built a strong foundation.

yeah, I was kind of offended by Colie's comments about "never, ever" hooking up with Stephen or Tyrie. It would have been one thing if she added, "because they're just not my type," or "because Stephen is a closed-minded religious nut," or something like that. But by not saying anything else it did seem like she was saying she just would never hook up with a black guy which doesn't make you like her particularly...

When E.Colie was on the phone, she said something about how it was "so nice to have someone in the house to hook up with". Yes, what a time-saver! Like having Starbucks in your kitchen!

Otherwise she'd have to get whored up, go out to a bar, drink too much, and bring home a RANDOM douchebag rotten with STDs rather than the one conveniently located in her ski-lodge-on-crack loft.

If I was sure it wouldn't give me herpes, I would like to reach through the screen and grab a handful of Jenn's hair. I think it would crumble like burnt toast.

Who are Ivette and Cappy?

#11- Ivette and Cappy are a reference to cast members from BB6, who became very close friends in the house after a very short time.

Am I the only one who doesn't think Jenn is so wrong in this situation? After all, E.Colie (love that one!) bragged about how big Alex's penis was in Episode 1, so is it any wonder that a whore-bag like Jenn would perk up like a seek-and-destroy missile and check out what Alex was packing? I am not surprised! I mean, GIRLS, don't ever tell another girl, especially one you don't know, about your man's anatomy!

Granted, he's not E.Colie's man, but still... the theory still holds true.

I haven't seen any episodes so far but your recaps are thrilling, B-Side. But I think I'm getting too old for the antics of these people.

Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict- of course, E.Colie has no boundaries: she agreed to be on the Real World. And slept with a dude two seconds after getting in the house. And freaked out when he slept with someone else. Then became BFFs with the person he slept with. And brought back a homeless drug addict to sleep with all in the first two episodes!! Not only doesn't she have boundaries, she doesn't have common sense. Or ethics. Or morals. Or a brain. I don't see things going well for this girl even after the show ends.
I did see the first after show and Robin is a camera whore or just a whore, as the case may be. But I'm sure MYL is enjoying being near the gianormous funbags and she won't be going anywhere.

Anyone else notice Jenn washing her face with that big white Mr. Clean Magic Eraser looking thing?? Maybe it was a bath sponge or some new facial cleanser bar that I've never heard of but nonetheless it cracked me up cuz it looked like she really had to scrape and scrub to get those layers of make up off!

Can Colie's voice be anymore raspy? Eat a cough drop, something, pleeease.
And I think guys like Nick are her potential.

I can't wait for next weeks episode...drama that doesn't revolve around Colie, finally.

Great recap but is it weird that I only laughed at loud at MYL making a crying face? Either way, its awesome that he's "from tvgasm.com" give MYL some cookies for publicity!

And I can't believe no one (particularly B-side!)mentioned that Davis says that he is leaving the house because some "crazy n****r wants to kill" him! Some racial drama>some boring kissing slut drama

tired of these girls already...*sighs*

still waiting for 'The Duel' recap......waiting....waiting.. =)

I think Alex has so many pink shirts because he decided to do laundry for the first time and something red might have gotten in with the whites. As for Colie and Jenn what a bunch of morons. I mean in MTV time they have only known each other for what a day or two. Jenn's already ohhh I love her, I feel bad. I want her in my wedding. Obviously not bad enough to wake up and go out with him to breakfast.

Great recap but is it weird that I only laughed at loud at MYL making a crying face? Either way, its awesome that he's "from tvgasm.com" give MYL some cookies for publicity!

Yea next weeks episode looks really interesting. When I heard Davis say that I was all WHAAA NO WAY.

I thought the aftershow was good, I like robin in there even if she does have a tendency to talk over people. Looks like she is gone next week and in her place is Lacie, or thats if I heard correctly

MissKatrina -
E.Colie = hilarious

Ok, did anyone notice how Jen flirted like crazy over breakfast w/Alex?
Then she mentioned in one of the interviews how she didn't have enough time to het her story straight about the hook up. Hmmmm..I wonder why she dosen't have any girlfriends, so when insecure Colie attaches herself to Jenn, they are automatically best friends.

Is it just me or does the screenshot of Alex in the pink shirt look like he's doing Blue Steel from Zoolander?

How old are these girls? In the recap photos they look like they're in their 30s. Too much drinking definitely will age you!

B-Side - You have done the impossible. That is created a recap that makes me want more of these drunken sluts! Also, you get props for adding a BB6 reference.

Now if you can get the Chenbot in a recap sometime soon, I will profess my undying love.

I hate it people who create alter-egos for themselves. "Mr. Emo" What a douchebag. The only people I've ever heard do that are on RW or RR

Colie's dumb, she's all over Alex within the first two days and expects him to be exclusive with her, then he kind of blows her off, then explains to her he doesn't want anything more than there make-out sessions and she acts like he cheated. She keeps contradicting herself.
Is it me or does Alex kind of look like a younger version of Dave Matthews.

Bside...The Screencaps are amazing...but I am still waiting for that Duel Recap...I can't wait for the screencaps on Beth!
-Charcoal2006
You are exactly right, Alex does look like a younger version of Dave Matthews.

P.S. The Title of the recap= genius.

Actually, Pamsey, B-Side came up with E.Colie. I thought it was high-larious so I used it. (Didn't want to steal your proverbial thunder, B-Side!)

I've been a TVGasm fan for months now, but this is my first post!
I think the only people I will like are Tyrie and Brooke. I liked Davis until I saw the preview for next week and he says the n-word. Stephen is way too ignorant for me to handle, Jowly Jodi talks too much, and Alex thinks he's hotter than he is. And lay off Nick, he wasn't that ugly!!

Gawwwwd this season is so trashy!

Thoughts:

1. Alex and his pink shirts, "blue steel" (good one, RealityMonkey!), and "Mr. Emo". Why the f--- are these girls fighting over him? The 3 of them are single handedly taking the IQ level of people AROUND THE WORLD down a notch! STOP ITTTTT!

2. Mr. Emo....am I the only one who thinks Mr. Emo is an AKA for "Mr. Gay"?

3. How could Jenn, Alex, and Colie have TOTAL amnesia over what happened like 3 hours previously? "Who turned off the oven? Who made pizza?". What the hell? I can't tell if the 3 of them are in straight up denial, blacked out, or just plain stuuuupid.

4. I am more interested in next week's ep...Davis calling Tyrie the N WORD?
Whaaaaat?

heh.. "no, you're not a vapid slut; I am!"

So Davis goes all kramer. Way to support your cause, Davis.

Alex. Alex is awesome. did you see how he practially had Colie apologizing to HIM? That's a true hero.

OMG--I enjoyed reading the recaps and comments more than the first episodes!!!!!
These had me laughing--and are excellent observations:

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.

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.

I too picked up on the Davis/Garland gay icon names--was mom tempting fate, or could she see the writing on the wall?

And what's up with skankoids Colie and Jenn bonding over a hookup and telling each other they're best friends, they love each other, and inviting each other to their weddings--after 3-4 DAYS in the house????? WTF???? Are they adults--or 8 year old girls on the playground?????

And I think Stephen will turn out to be a big hypocrite about the gay thing. He'll expect everyone to throw down for him over being dissed (merely because he's black--being an arrogant asshole has nothing to do with it, I'm sure)--while screaming from the rooftops that gays are disgusting and on a bullet train to hell.

He seems well versed on The Bible--and says he lives by it to the letter. I wonder what he did when he got to the scriptures that justify slavery and the segregation of races?

Oh, but that's DIFFERENT....

I'm sure next week we'll see the ridiculous rage when the "disgusting and sinful" gay man doesn't have Stephen's back during some "racial conflict" at the club...what's wrong with you, Davis?!!!!! Where's your loyalty???? I mean, if Stephen is willing to acknowledge your humanity even though you're a disgusting sodomite, risking permanent physical injury and arrest for him is the LEAST you can do!!!!!

LOL

So does Jersey Girl have an "Off" button? Her voice is the most annoying thing this side of Kina. Also, JG and Jenn are shaping up to be Derrick-level drama whores. In the 2 episodes that there has been, these two have blown their friendship, the thing with Alex, and the entire RW experience completely out of proportion.

Brooke is hot though. JG is average, a bit of a butterface. Jenn looks like a hooker.

Colie is never going to find a guy who wants to be with her if she keeps acting like that...and stop being so damn clingy if you claim to be a make out slut...and why don't you figure out if he's a douche bag or not before you try and get into a house relationship with him!

And you're not best friends with sharpie eyebrow whore!

jeez this cast sucks

How does MTV manage this? How can they possibly find progressively more stupid people to be on RR with every new season? I thought Trishelle was the bottom of the barrel, but then we got Wes the Tool and then Paula Walnuts and now... I can't decide yet who's the trashiest/craziest among the Denver cast. God knows I never thought I'd be showing a preference for those earlier dingbats.

By the way, the decorator of that house should be shot. Or better yet, put in a room with an enraged bull elk for a true Rocky Mountain experience. We do not decorate this way in Colorado! The entire decor is insulting to Denver and beyond ugly.

These past couple episodes have not been that interesting to me. It's so stupid & shallow. Alex & Colie are definitely the wannabe Steven-and-Trishelle. Plus, Alex is a really weird guy to me. Something about him is just off to me. I don't know why they'd want to be with him in the first place. But, at this point, I'm over watching people hook up. It's boring. I'm definitely starting to miss the "Key West" cast now.

Also, I too thought Colie's statement about never, ever wanting to hook up with Stephen & Tyrie was subtly racist. Speaking of racist, Davis' N-word slip next week has got to start some craziness in the house.

Jenn looks so ugly without her makeup on...I did not recognize her in any of the coming attractions. The more I look at Alex the weirder looking he gets.

Denver news reported this afternoon that a developer just paid $3.3 million for the Denver Real World house, plans to put lots of $$$ into it and turn it into an "upscale" bar.

Hope they have it disinfected first.

Meh, boring episode, but next weeks looks good. No more Jenn, Alex, Colie I want to get to know the other roomates.
*Go Loveland, Take State*

Charcoal2006-

I agree- Alex does look like a younger Dave Matthews, I thought the exact same thing!

I didn't catch Davis using the N word, was that on the preview for next week?

I still don't really understand why Davis was being called out for leaving the bar. Did he even know Stephen was having a problem? It just seemed like he was really drunk and needed to leave - did I miss something from Overdrive? Weren't the other roommates still there?

I thought Tyrie was WAY out of line in how he confronted Davis. I can't believe he actually ordered him out of the spa, and then demanded an explanation. It really seemed like Davis had NO idea what he was talking about. Tyrie was completely out of line, and out of control - he was scary. He obviously has some really deep rage, because his reaction to Davis seemed totally out of proportion.

I know I'm basing this on about 30 seconds of preview, but it looked pretty violent. I guess we'll see the whole ugly mess next week.

PS - I like pink shirts on men! I don't think Alex is gay, but I definitely DO think he's a douchebag!

E.Colie - heh, heh! Can I use it?

Cheez! Nice to see you again!!!!

Did you enjoy the "special" with your fave MTV Real Worlders Tyler and Paula????? I wonder why he's back, considering how they made him look so bad on the show! It was all editing, you know!!!!

Yay! alligatorwings is back!

You would have enjoyed Tyler getting his ass handed to him in The Duel. Neither his charm, nor his athletic prowess, carried him through! Shocking, I know!

His best comment on The Duel: "The girls won't vote me in, because they're going to want someone who can sing Madonna with them." He was voted in first, ha ha!

I'm thinking that they used the two most reviled RW cast members EVER for the special, to try and offset the fact that the only tolerable Denver cast members are Brooke and Davis. I seriously have to question who pissed in the gene pool(s) of the rest of them. They are ALL ignorant, and stupid.

Still, I can't wait for the next episode. Oh, how I love to armchair analyze half-wits, Borderlines and Narcissists! You know I do... ;-)

"They are ALL ignorant, and stupid."

That's a bit of a snap judgement, Chee-Z. Granted Alex, Colie, and Jenn have given proof of their stupidity and ignorance, the others have barely gotten any screen time. So far, the only evidence of Tyrie's stupidity was that nonsense about "knowing what you're doing before you do it" in the hot tub this episode.

Stephen seems to be having a religous crisis with Davis and his gay-ness. But that was probably the reason he got cast. I think Davis is on an equal level with everyone else, excluding the three whores mentioned up top.

Brooke is on the normal list cause she's kind of hot.

Also, we can't say that Tyrie is out of line until we see it in context. We do see Davis dropping the N-bomb, so he's not exactly looking rational either. So Tyrie may not be irrationally raging. Though it is a B/M staple to try to make black people on the show seem crazy and/or violent (*cough*Karamo*cough*). Thanks for perpetuating stereotypes, MTV.....

It will be an interesting third episode. The production staff will do something they have never done before during the Real World filming.

I work with the cast and to see more information on the Real World and the cast, sometimes by the cast members themselves, check of the MM Agency's Real World Blog.

,MM Agency

LOL--yep Cheez--and looks like we're back to the old pattern--you getting bashed for comments being either too "bitchy" or too "analytical" by other posters. We got too bitchy covered, and now, on to "too analytical"! LOL

I think the cast seems pretty generically trashy to me. I'm not even sure who's who yet, but the girl with the bad eyebrows and eye makeup is crying out for a makeover. There's a patch of skin the size of a midwestern state btwn her eyebrow and eyelid--could her brows naturally really be that high???? And silver/white eyeshadow she paints those square acres with just makes me think Alaskan tundra.

A few trashy white girls, sone semi-cute frat boy with grandma eyebrows to fight over, black guys with chips on their shoulder about one thing or another, one confused gay kid with issues (internalized homophobia, possibly racist?)--it's just the same old rancid RW cliche group of cast members. However, it's hard to say--we'll see if I'm wrong--here's hoping I am!

BTW--I only saw the special by accident on Overdrive and it was TERRIBLE! I f-king still hate Tyler--I can't even bear looking at him or hearing his voice. I think it's great he's out in LA where he's among a sea of MUCH prettier queens with the same dream of getting paid and adored for doing nothing but being FABULOUS!

Check out this article about his playing the gay card on the show:

The Card Game
http://men.style.com/details/features/full?id=content_4978

Of course, Tyler says there is no truth in that, and that it's just the author's internalized homophobia (what happened to blaming it on editing??):

'Real World' housemate on 'gay card'
Gay cast member denies magazine's report
http://www.pridesource.com/article.shtml?article=20723

You're a piece of..work, Tyler....

Well alligatorwings, I guess my snappy repartee won't be appreciated by EVERYONE... boo hoo! I NEVER saw that coming! LOL!

Great articles on Mr. Butterworth - he's such an ass. According to Tyler anyone associated with reality TV has no integrity; anyone who watches and/or formulates a response to it is ignorant or biased; and the other participants are annoying half-wits. Except for Tyler, who is still bitching about the unfair editing - YET has now done TWO other MTV shows. And just who does he think is watching them? hmmmm.....

Perhaps Tyler needs a little vocab refresh - INTEGRITY:

1 : firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : INCORRUPTIBILITY

For example: "Have some integrity, and don't willingly whore yourself out to the network you claim deliberately made you look bad." LOL!

I almost feel bad for the gay boy. He's going to get killed for saying the n-word. To quote Kelly Ripa, "Oh honey. That's a no-no."

Alex does look like a younger version of Dave Matthews. Except Dave Matthews is kind of hot and, despite being a musician, manages to keep the sleaze factor much lower than Alex.

Colie and Jenn's comments about their "friendship" was pretty funny. I guess Brooke is the odd one out there - lucky for her. Of course, her dysfunction has yet to reveal itself, but there's got to be something. Normal people just don't get cast on RW.

Ahh, the good old days of NY (the first time)& LA - back when people over the age of 22 were actually cast.

Absolutely no way does Alex look like Dave Matthews. That is a horrible thing to say!

Did anyone else think Jen was totally fake crying when she and Colie were having their heart to heart? I saw no tears just heard a really whiny voice.

And Colie is beyond clingy and co-dependent. My boyfriend and I were watching the episode and we were both laughing about how she was acting. Like when he came back from brunch she said "Where were you???" I have a feeling she is going to get even worse, especially if he starts bringing girls home. And does he hook up with Brooke? It seems in the season preview he hooked up with all of the girls at one point.

Did anybody else think that Colie was popping a diet pill when she woke up the morning after the "talk" with Alex? She is awfully thin, and I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, however I have to question the morals of anybody who refers to making out as a "hobby." Plus, her desire to look thin would fit with her promiscuous behavior as a girl with a low self-esteem and someone who is dying for attention.

I could be wrong though.

LOL Cheez--you and your opinions--you've become SO controversial--you should be on RW!! :)
Tyler is a total BS artist--it's amazing the lengths he'll go to deflect ANY criticism and blame--he's definitely the new poster boy for NPD! The blame game is in effect! I wonder if he has ever accepted fault for anything?

Anyway, I think Alex is gross, especially given his behavior. Definitely not my type. I can't see why the girls are so sprung on him. He looks like a skinny, not very cute version of a young Vince Vaughn. I find his overquaffed eyebrows particularly annoying.
I don't think Jenn was fake crying, but I do think she overplayed the drama on purpose to make herself look more contrite about hooking up with Alex. Whatever.

Re Davis--does the preview actually show him using the N word? I must have missed it, since all I saw was Davis getting pushed around and threatened. I'm wondering if this isn't all some big editing ploy to get everyone all worked up and it ends up being not what they make it look like.
If Davis does in fact use some racist epithet, it's hard not to see the irony in it. Obviously Davis comes from the south, and anyone who's lived or been there knows that race and racism is still a huge factor in that part of the country. Unfortunately there are many people who are openly racist and bigoted--and hold the same firm beliefs about blacks that Stephen spouted about gays. Although it's no longer tolerated or socially acceptable in mainstream society to be racist--it is perfectly acceptable to be homophobic--backed up with social, ethnic, or religious convictions. So, let's say hypothetically that Davis is a racist, and that he grew up in a family, church and society that told him blacks were inferior to whites. What if he came in to the RW house and started saying that to Stephen? Given our right to free speech, he definitely would have the right to. How would his ignorant comments be any different than what Stephen did to Davis about being gay? He could use the same justifications Stephen did. The only difference is that society has progressed significantly on the race issue, so racial epithets and racism are generally not tolerated. However, when it comes to being gay, we're still back in the 60s. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out--and whether or not Stephen makes himself look like a bigger hypocrite than he already has.

Alligatorwings- Thanks for posting the link to that article about Tyler. The best part was that he says he never uses the "gay card" but he pretty much uses it as the end of the article where he talks about why he can't get as many bookings as the straight cast members from his season.

The preview shows Davis saying something like "I'm leaving this house because some *bleep* wants to kill me!!"

Also, Davis has used race against Stephen. He asked "What if I think it's wrong that you're black?" Then Stephen whipped out the double standard nonsense card saying "I didn't choose to be black, they choose to be gay." Well, I didn't choose to be black, but I don't think gay people choose to be gay. Saying that gay people choose to be gay is saying that I choose to be straight. I don't choose it, I just am.

Finally, since when did disagreeing with a viewpoint get construed with bashing? I'm not bashing anyone, I'm suggesting that maybe we should see what's going on before a blanket label such as "They are ALL ignorant, and stupid." is applied. Please point out where I "bashed" Chee-Z.

Good post, B ran! It's exactly right, although I think Davis's use of race was simply using a comparison Stephen could relate to. I still can't figure out why straight people STILL believe it's a choice--why would you choose such a difficult road for yourself? It makes no sense!

Oh--and you didn't "bash" Cheez--it was kind of an inside joke, since last season Cheez would get trashed by people here if she was just kind of off-handed with her remarks-- and then if she were too analytical, people would bitch about that. And like Tyler, Cheez is "very tender-hearted about the way people talk to her", so we should choose our words carefully LOL

And I did not choose to leave my pantyhose tucked in the back of my skirt the other day, but I did and I moved on. This one's gay, that one's black, another one's got the self-esteem of a gangbang victim. We all people.

Cheez--Tyler was so pissed at that reporter because he was absolutely right about him--he did play the gay card WHENEVER he got called on his bad behavior. I think it's funny how he personally attacks the reporter, his journalistic integrity, his citing reality TV, etc. Tyler's behavior had nothing to do with being gay, and everything to do with choosing to be a self centered b-tch for his own entertainment--and for the entertainment of others. I'm so sick of gays that play the court jester for straight society.

It's like when George Michael claims reporters are attacking gays and gay culture when he's caught rolling around in the park in the middle of night with nasty old men. Don't defend YOUR bad behavior with OUR identity. We may not choose to be gay, but have complete control over what we choose to say and do as individuals. If you want to be a bitch or nasty, so be it--but don't act like gay means you are predestined to be both.

OK, ok... From now on when I am expressing a personal opinion, I will preface my "opinion statements" with the phrase: In my opinion, thereby clarifying that I am not stating actual recognized public facts. Unfortunately, I cannot preface the statement "They are ALL ignorant, and stupid." with the "in my opinion" phrase because that statement is an unmitigated fact. Ha ha ha...

Just kidding. I admit, I am an opinionated; often over-analytical; sometimes grammatically flawed; but certainly "tender-hearted"; and occasionally bitchy Cheesy TV geek. I love TVgasm as much for the comments as for the recaps, and I'm "all growed-up", so if people don't always agree with me I almost never piss my pants and cry. LOL!

I hear you alligatorwings! My best friend (since 9 years old!) is gay, and he HATES it when anyone uses being gay as a manipulation to justify bad or irresponsible behavior. I feel the same way when women use the "feminism" card to avoid dealing with/or to manipulate everyday issues that any marginally functioning adult should be able to handle.

You're right about Tyler, he's playing into all of society's worst stereotypes about gay men. I have a lot of gay friends, and almost all have responsible jobs, stable relationships (or looking for one), and are among some of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever met. My guys generally tend to avoid truly mean-spirited people, male or female. Not to say we don't all indulge in a little bitchy, catty repartee from time to time - I mean we're not joining the CONVENT for Chrissake! LOL!

Yeah--that's why I hate Tyler--he represents a lot of what I hate about gay culture today--and that is me talking, a rational, thinking adult--not my internalized homophobia.

And yes--splitting semantic hairs is the primary argument of many on these boards. I post on another board, and if I say for example, "gay culture is often very superficial", someone will inevitably state, "straight society can be very superficial TOO!"--as if one fact negates the other--or changes the argument. I also like the ones where you make a general comment that is true, and where exceptions are obvious and a matter of common sense--and people come at you with "Not ALL_____is/are___________!!!!!" Again, how do obvious exceptions to any rule negate a general comment about this or that? I avoid people who are like that--where nothing can be general--or everything has to be literal and exact. I--IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE--have found these kind of people to be uptight and boring conversation partners--and not big thinkers as a general rule--oops--there I go again!!!

Hey--wasn't Colie's bar boy she brought home nasty? He looks like a Jerry Springer guest, especially when in his bathing suit. He just looks unclean--what was she thinking? Maybe she wanted to get him into the spa to disinfect him. His friend was much cuter, I thought.
What say you?

I am in 100% agreement with you alligatorwings! Super-literal people drive me CRAZY! I'm thinking we should do a comic called "The Trials and Tribulations of Super-Literal Boy and The Atomic Asperger Man". LOL!

Colie's date/trick(?) WAS gross, I could practically smell the stale bar-sweat and onions through my TV. In addition to being gross, he was also really mealy and doughy. Blech! The friend was definitely better looking.

It kind of shocked me because Colie seems like she normally has really judgement.

Yeah right! Ha ha ha!!! Strumpet-Alert!

Oops! I'll try that again..

It kind of shocked me because Colie seems like she normally has really good judgement.

LOL--yeah--there ARE hot southern guys, but why she had to drag home Boo Radley is beyond me. You can tell Alex is totally laughing at her pathetic attempt to make him jealous. I always wonder how it is that real worlders aren't more concerned with how sleazy they look to friends and family on the show--especially the girls.

We need some self esteem over here, stat!!!!

Tomorrow night is the big throw down--can't WAIT! :)

I can't wait either! I wish we could do live comments!

LOL! on the Boo Radley reference! I call my husband that when he starts lurking around, when I'm in the kitchen or doing stuff around the house. He gets super-pissed! Ha ha ha!

LOL--too funny! Her hookup was just all pasty with a classic tractor tan--and he looked like he'd never excercised or used his muscles EVER! And then the whole mole thing---don't get me started! He looked like the 102nd Dalmatian!

I can't wait til tonight--I wonder if we'll get the standard MTV 20 min of commercials, 10 minutes of show? We'll also probably end up commenting on tonight's episode here, since BSide probably won't have a chance to do his recap til next week. More reasons to bash us! :)

It's a date alligatorwings! LOL!

Although, I have to say B-Side's been really jamming on these recaps this season!

Davis is a fuckin faggot

Another "Card Game"--I'm not racist--I'm an alcoholic!"

GROUP HUG EVERYONE!

Well, I guess if it worked for Mel Gibson, why not for a Real Worlder?

I BELIEVE STEPHEN IS FULL OF BS HE STARTED EVERYTHING UP. HE MADE A BIG DEAL SO TY WOULD GET ALL WORKED UP. SINCE STEPHEN DOESN'T LIKE DAVIS BECAUSE HE IS GAY. KEEP WATCHING AND YOU'LL SEE HOW STEPHEN IS A HYPOCRITE. I THINK TY AND DAVIS WERE VICTIMS OF STEPHEN.
