With any traces of conflict quietly vanquished, the roomies settled down and packed up. Former roommate Frankie called up to say what's up in a surprisingly nice, friendly phone conversation with Jacquese. Amazingly, the Frankie cameo lasted for only twenty seconds at most. Sorry Frankie, but not even you can stop the Bunim/Murray machine once they activate the packing up/goodbye sequence.
The final ten minutes consisted of hugs and quivering lips as each cast member gradually went their own way. We learned interesting things about our buddies after the show: Randy went on a five month tour of Europe; Charlie broke up with his girlfriend and reunited with his band (he had a band?); and Cameran doesn't know what she wants to do next in life. Um, how about getting that edumacation that you so sorely lack? Eh, she'll probably just take her act to the Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
Next week we have what promises to be another heavily edited reunion special hosted by Lala, or maybe what's-her-face Pak, or that Gideon jerk. Until then, we'll just quietly chuckle to ourselves as we remember Cameran's thoughtful insights about African Americans: "I've lived with a black person, and they're as cool as hell." Like OMG! Every group should have one!
It's great to see The Real World still lives up to its name.

As a RW watcher since my middle school days- that was the least emotional final episode that I have ever seen. I've never seen a season fizzle out so boringly (is boringly a word? it is now).
As a person who just finished law school and is about to take a bar exam- what Robin did actually was a battery so I'm surprised her lawyer didn't even teach her the definition of the word. Nor did he explain to her that that first court day, all they were doing was asking for more time so her tears and nerves were not necessary. And that shirt would NEVER be necessary.
As a black person- I'm cool as hell.

Haha, "sprawling bosom." That's very apt indeed.
