07/01: Real world: Brooklyn
Jesus freaking tits... Really? Screw you MTV! *gasping breath* Okay.. let me recap.. MTV's Real World: Brooklyn (RW:B) had it's premier tonight. For what ever reason I opted to watch. I haven't seen an episode of the Real World since Key West.
The start was fairly rout for all real worlds. Random shot skyline, random shot streets, random shot of land mark. The cast was introduced in some funky order and thus begins the judging and vivisection of who they are (well who they are through the filter of the real world and the tv).
A few odd things I noticed.. first their are eight people. That breaks tradition of seven folk. Second, and found from wiki, they will not have a group job/task, but instead are left up to their own devices to for employement. That clears up the cut scenes from future episodes.
General show run down.. First off - where the hell is the booze? I am not sure if this is MTV trying to get all PC on the world, but every freaking season there was the greatest party of all time the first night. Booze, tears, hottubs, boobs, and breakage of house hold items. Not so much this time around. Also there doesn't seem to be any smokers. Hmm.. MTV you are getting suspect.
Second, everyone was getting along too well. With the exception of Ryan running his mouth people were all hunky doorie. That's fucked up. Thankfully MTV's clips from the future showed everything collapsing, someone breaking shit, Chet flipping out on Dolphin-slaver, and people yelling about cleaning shit up. Aww bliss MTV straight bliss.
Third.. well that's about it. I appreciate the random three-random shots every so often. The location is nice and the house could be quite fun.
Break down of people:
Chet.. wow.. that harkens back to Weird Science doesn't it? He's a kookie Utah guy who is metroish and was introduced sewing clothes. He seems to have glommed onto Ryan the Army guy in a lackey/minion fashion. He comes off like a pussy-ier version of Tyler from RW: Key West. Catty male-bitch.. check.
Likability: about a 7
Ryan - the army guy. He's mouthy, plays guitar quite well, and is highly interested in everyone's sexuality. He also is the only real drinker. My guess is him and Katelynn will have an encounter. I hope he gets with Devyn and she joins up with the Ryan/Chet faction. Party bro - check.
Likability: 8
Katelynn.. a post op trans gender chick (as in chick now wasn't two months prior to shooting). Not a bad person, but is kinda aloof. She's hung up on everyone being intellectual and clearly was annoyed everyone is not a dumb fratboy or sorositute. Best laid plans, eh? She hasn't come out to anyone except JD the dolphin slaver. Oh well. Also claims to have had a five-some. MTV curve ball - check.
Likability: 5
Scott: a personal trainer and was absent from the episode. Odd. There were random cut shots of him in the gym, but that's about it. On average I would peg folk like him as a dbag. Who knows. Maybe we can hope for 'roid rage. Alpha male - check.
Likability: 5
JD.. quiet dude who enslaves..er.. trains dolphins. I guess we all have to do something with our time, and why not spend it crushing the spirit of sentient creatures. He bitched that Ryan drank too much at some bar they were at, was disgusted Ryan kept drinking instead of water, and forced himself on Katelynn in some attempt to have her come out. He's going to be a major contention with the Ryan/Chet faction. Drama center who claims to be there to solve problems - check.
Likability: 4
Sarah.. wow.. cuties who has tats and is spunky. She used to dig chicks and now has a man. Okay.. When she mentioned this Ryan had a great confused look. Stellar. I bet she gets more fun when she drinks. Happy go lucky artistic chick - check.
Devyn.. some broad from KC with great cans. I can tell she is the high strung diva/me-me-me type. All sorts of shit will find her at the center. As a semi pro model she about gooed herself over Scott. She will do what she can to fuck her muscle boy. Alpha female bitch - check.
Likability: 4
Baya - who the fuck is this? She was constantly in the background and yet nothing was said of her. Her wiki bio says she's a dj, and the post show promo shows her auditioning for a dancing gig. I'll give her a pass. Background noise broad - check
Likability: 5
I believe I will continue watching this season for the avalanche of anger and vitriol that is sure to spew out from such a group of seemingly lovie-dovies.
I screamed at the TV when I saw the future clips.. I am damn near giddy about the prospects of watching these people melt down. I wonder if getting a job or persuing avenues outside the house is mandated? I would totally bum around all day, and party all night while other folk try and make the most of their time there.
On a side note - fuck you Jonathan Murray for not picking me four and five years ago to be on the show. God I would have danced what ever tune you asked me to! Also fuck you for luring me into another season and giving me the right glimpets to set up the drama.
Parting camera shot: birds, out of focus mountain dew can, cars driving by.

I think that both you and Travis should have been selected to be part of the Real World cast. However, too much drinking can be detrimental to plot development.
This year's cast sounds very typical of the formula that the producers have used in the past. I am very surprised that you only gave Katelynn a 5 on likeablity after she bragged about a fivesome. No doubt her gender status will probably cause lots of problems in the house and potentially some
wierd sexual liasons in the house.
I have not seen The Real World since Real World San Francisco (Puck-a bike messenger-gets kicked out; some little high maintainance republic bitch from Arizona who was always whining, an Asian medical student who dumps her longtime boyfriend for the liberal cartoonist in the house. And lots of drama with Pedro from Flordia who was dying from AIDS. This was classic. You were probably about 12 when it was on TV, but it's hard to replace a cast like that. It was an awesome show. Once I spent all day on a Saturday watching an MTV marathon review of that season.
Maybe I will give the new season a chance.
By the way, I floated a theory about Travis to Susan today. See what you think. Susan was complaining to me that Travis once again nearly got her killed driving to lunch. She told me he was complaining about how his BMW was not handling nearly as well since the accident. I told her that I think this Travis is suffering from a classic case of Princess and the Pea syndrome. That would make Travis the Princess of course.
