And I attained the age of majority.

Though cartoonist dude from SF will still someday be my boyfriend, when he's had enough of med school chick.

And don't they do a Pedro tribute every time they have a reunion? It's sweet and all, but Jesus, I get it. Let the kid rest in peace.

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> i watched this shitfest hoping they would feature some of the older Real Worlders. the highlights for me were 1) Stephen from Seattle was there with his partner to whom he is engaged. 2) Jason from Boston is still hot from what I could tell from the 5 sec. they showed him. 3) the taped messages from the ones who are married and now living seemingly normal lives were cute (Sean/Rachel and Judd/Pam). 4) the tribute to Pedro was actually classy and sweet. the rest of it you've summed up in the clip above.

I applaud those who didn't turn out for this event, they apparently have futures they need to protect.

I miss the RW of yore. I yearned to be on it someday. Now I couldn't bring myself to audition.

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> Yikes! I watched the first two seasons, and then PBS had this show called "The Farmer's Wife" and it was about a midwest farmer and his wife, trying to save their farm from foreclosure; she had to go into town and get a job on top of her farm chores...and I had this epiphany - - Now THAT is the REAL WORLD!

Today, "The Real World" is instrumental in parenting my teenagers. I use it to illustrate idiocy, and to point out the UN-Real Worldliness of it all.

The weirdest thing is these castmembers keep returning for these gauntlet/competition series'...same bitching, same conflicts, same drama. For some reason, they never move on into the real, real world.

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> The RW started going downhill when they stopped casting people who were trying to make something out of themselves and instead went for jobless adolescents on summer vacation. The above clip of their circle jerk reminded me of that.

I thought I saw Amel Larrieux, the second and fifth Hunter on DOOL, Al Green, a ton of folks to keep up with. The show truly declined with Real World: Las Vegas, it's been downhill since then.

I think the show officially turned to crap when they stopped forcing them to get their own jobs. Everyone acted like they had won the lottery with their big tacky houses and their crazy jobs handed over on a platter (that they could barely keep!).

Still, Vegas was amusingly tacky. And that season where the Limes disease girl smacked the closeted guy. And one with that sanctimonious savior guy who was trying to save Ruthie.

A bigger bunch of morons have never taken their faux importance more seriously. Ever.

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> @Mark Graham: I think there is actually a mathematical formula. If X = Your age and Y = the RW cast's average age, and X < Y, the show is great. However, Y is pretty much a constant, while X increases. And that's where you run into problems.

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> Too funny...Puck thinks he has "People" How cute. This is what happens when Douchebags Unite. That should be the title of their next reality series. they could have thousands of spin offs. Douchebags Gone Wild for example.

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> It kind of makes me sad that none of them take their lives seriously after being on the show. What happened? The people they used to chose were actually doing things, and now they just talk about drama and are on the RW challenges.

Think The Miz, think Coral, think the entire Vegas cast ... and if you never saw RW:SD, you truly missed out. Bajooka Joe!

]]> <![CDATA[100 Seconds That Symbolize Just How Far The 'Real World' Has Fallen]]> I think you're being way too kind to RW. Maybe this is because I'm now an old dude, but the show took the express train to shitsville around the Miami season. The whole start-a-business thing, obviously meant to give structure and add drama to the proceedings, was just so damned boring.
