Speaking of The "Real" World...

The Real World used to be amazing. I still think that its first season in 1992 is what made me want to move to NY. I was nine years old and the idea of a bunch of 20-somethings living together in NYC seemed like a dream come true. Now I would hate it, but I still like to watch. And this season is in Australia. I love Australia. And koala bears. Let me give you an update of what's happened so far this season:

There are 4 girls and 3 guys in the house. These are the people on the show:

*The blonde with the boyfriend.
"All of my girlfriends at home are stereotypically exactly like me." "This is a promise ring my parents gave me when I was 12 so I wouldn't have sex... I haven't really been following that..." [ps I never got a ring from my parents. I got a book. "Where Did I Come From?" There were cartoons of naked old people. Thanks Mom and Dad. Thanks.}

*The peppy brunette "fun" girl.
I have more respect for this girl than for the rest. Yes, she's slutty like the rest of them, but she's unapologetic. And she makes out with a guy and then goes shopping. The other girls seem to make out with guys, and then cry, and get drunk. And cry more.

*The non-quite-white girl.
I don't really care if The Real World is all white, but apparently many people do, so they have this girl who's just non-white enough to count. She pretends to be very mature, but isn't. She also got passed out drunk after a couple drinks.

*The other blonde girl.
I honestly thought there was only one blonde girl who just happened to be in most of the shots. So, I'm going to say that she's similar to blonde girl #1.

*Dunbar
He's a player, stereotypically hot, has a girlfriend at home. "I'm more proud to be Southern than I am to be American." "People's first impression of me, it's 50/50, it's either they absolutely hate me and then I have to spend the rest of our relationship getting them back to liking me or they absolutely love me and then I fuck up repeatedly. So I hope I can strike a balance with this experience." That's deep, Dunbar. Deep. PS Who the hell is named Dunbar?

*Cohutta
Cohutta (again, where did these names come from?) is from some very southern state and is utterly confused by how girls can be so pretty and yet so dumb and slutty at the same time. Oh, Cohutta. I like Cohutta. I kind of like his weird name too. Cohutta.

*Isaac
I liked Isaac immediately when he told blonde girl (I don't know which one) that he was going to vomit on her... about 3 minutes after meeting her. He also hooked up with one of the blonde girls and then regretted it. All in the first two episodes. It's okay, Isaac. If you throw up on them, I'll forgive you.


Before we question why I cannot remember any of the girls' names, but know all the guys', (actually, lets just avoid that altogether), let me reminisce about what the show used to be. It used to be normal people (actually normal, not just reality TV whore normal) and they would showcase the city they were staying in. Now it’s all about the drama. Sigh. Oh well, trashy show… I’ll still watch you. Until I start work again, and then you’ll be dead to me.
