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?

mountain_girl Author Profile Page:

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.

Luke Warm Author Profile Page:

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.

JohnEDowney Author Profile Page:

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.

BooBooKitty Author Profile Page:

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.

JerseyLove Author Profile Page:

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.

Rachey Author Profile Page:

Did anyone else notice the lack of popular music in this episode? They only used that bland elevator music sounding stuff.

IJustWatch Author Profile Page:

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.

Niecy Author Profile Page:

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.

anniedawg25 Author Profile Page:

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".

LagunaBeached Author Profile Page:

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?

Iluvslash Author Profile Page:

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.

MTVwhoreInTX Author Profile Page:

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

srsdal Author Profile Page:

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...

i_like_tv Author Profile Page:

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!

molls Author Profile Page:

i really think that jenn's eyebrows are Sharpie. i'm just sayin' that's all....

tvlover518 Author Profile Page:

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.

tj Author Profile Page:

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.

brigasm Author Profile Page:

kudos to u, tj, put here inn here placcee....how u like that MTVwhore? lol

sloppyseconds Author Profile Page:

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.

migrating-coconut Author Profile Page:

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!

COLO'RAD'O Author Profile Page:

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.

jozeyg Author Profile Page:

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 =)

B-Side Author Profile Page:

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.

McCreamy Author Profile Page:

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.

rockwello Author Profile Page:

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.

MTVwhoreInTX Author Profile Page:

yes, i double posted. boo. retaliation comments were expected. see ya thursday

Keyser Soze Author Profile Page:

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.

JohnEDowney Author Profile Page:

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.

MTVwhoreInTX Author Profile Page:

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

LDavid Author Profile Page:

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.

Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict Author Profile Page:

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!

reeeeelbigfsh Author Profile Page:

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.

JohnEDowney Author Profile Page:

Actually, I think that Colie looks like Jodi's twin. Seriously.

mpfeiffer Author Profile Page:

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.

mangos Author Profile Page:

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.

anniedawg25 Author Profile Page:

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!

fozziebare13 Author Profile Page:

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."

MTV4ME Author Profile Page:

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.....=(

RealityMonkey Author Profile Page:

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.

nico-co Author Profile Page:

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

LeslieAnne25 Author Profile Page:

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.

mangos Author Profile Page:

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?

sarah Author Profile Page:

No screencaps, B-Side? Tear, tear.

juxtapoeser Author Profile Page:

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..

MissKatrina Author Profile Page:

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.

McCreamy Author Profile Page:

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.

IJustWatch Author Profile Page:

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.

bluespanishsky Author Profile Page:

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.

missgkotter Author Profile Page:

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.

missgkotter Author Profile Page:

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.

mangos Author Profile Page:

I finally saw Alex's 'hey!' tattoo. What a loser.
