I don’t know if it’s the constant bickering, the constant hook ups or what, but I LOVE this show. I’ve loved it every season I’ve watched it!!!
PLUS, this year we get to watch that hunk-a-hunk-a burning love named ACE. Man, that guy is hot.
I was just watching the episode where he gets into a fight with the cabbie.
Why does it turn me on that he picked a fight with the cabbie, I have no idea… haha But boy is a good looking. Rippling muscles and the whole deal. PLUS, I could listen to him talk for hours! LOVE that accent! HEY ACE! I like to drink too, and I wouldn’t make you get a 50 hour a week job!!!
What does everybody else think about the show? (Or about Ace!)
The only Real World I ever watched was the one with Puck, and that was years ago… I liked it but we dont get the newer ones over here anymore, that or Im missing them… I doubt Im missing much though
I started watching with season 2, watched season 3, and sort of have lost track of what seasons I watched after that. I can’t remember what order the seasons came in but I know I haven’t seen all the way through London, Seattle, Miami, “return to New York,” Chicago and Las Vegas. I saw LA, SF, New Orleans and Hawaii first-run and Boston in repeats. I started watching various of these seasons either first-run or in repeats and quit partway through for a variety of reasons, mostly because the people on them were all so dreary. Not watching Paris. Maybe I’m just getting too old to give a shit about the lives of a bunch of 20-somethings in a house.
I loved the first season, even ran into one of the cast in a local store. Enjoyed the next few, and then forget it. I tuned in not too long ago and saw that there was NOTHING but hookups and booze; which is boring as hell to me.
You probably caught most of the Las Vegas season if all you saw were hookups and booze. The early seasons get repeated sometimes when a new season is coming up, although I don’t think they went back all that far the last time. The Real World is my guilty pleasure. The kids provide me with something on which to focus my rage, especially this Paris season. They get to live in Paris–well, about a 15-20 minute train ride outside Paris–and work for Frommers creating a travel guide presumably for people their age. Of course, all they do is drink heavily (in the house), play pool (in the house), and frolic in the hot tub (at the house). They can’t even be bothered to learn a little French. They get a “bonus” when they turn their work in on time; which they are very nearly incapable of doing. Soon they will get to travel to other parts of Europe (I think at least Rome and Switzerland) for their “job.” I hate them. But I can’t stop watching.
A few years back MTV did a mega-marathon of all the RW seasons through 5, I think, declaring all the while that it was the last time they would ever appear on MTV. Those seasons then went into syndication. They would pop up on various semi-local cable stations in my area on a fairly frequent basis. IIRC some of them did indeed return to MTV as part of a super-mega-marathon.
Oh Breezy I am sorry! I can not stand Ace… He is an ignorant, self centered and close minded man…
This season hasn’t grown on me too much. It’s getting more and more “let’s drink and have sex” kind of show… It can be fun and chocking at first, but now it’s just the norm.
I stopped watching Vegas about halfway through the season because a) I hated all the castmembers, b) I don’t watch much TV while I’m at school. Unfortunately, I probably would have watched the whole thing despite the fact that I hated everyone had I been at home.
I’m enjoying the new season more, but I hate Ace with a firey passion, and I could care less about the Christina/Leah/C.T. plotline they’re retreading every episode.
About the Christina-Leah-C.T. thing, I think the girls were being WAY bitchy with him about everything. I’ve kind of felt sorry for him all through the show, I’m glad Leah is finally being nice to him.
I can’t believe people don’t like Ace!! I think he’s the most fun of all the cast this year! (Of course, that could be because of the raging crush I have on him at the moment.). haha
About the cabbie fight: Ace was a little short on money when they got back to the house, and he asked the cabbie to wait for him and he’d run in and get the rest of the money. So he went in, and when he came back out with the money the cabbie was having a hissie fit. To me, it looked like the cabbie was being a jerk. Then Ace got mad and the cabbie got mad… Just escalated from there…
I may be out of the norm here but the only real world seasons i enjoy are when the cast members actually get along!!!
I hate petty fighting and the pointless hookups of most seasons.
It so annoying i don’t ever watch it.
When they get along…i’m glued to the set!
I love RW #1 new york, rw #4 (i thought jacinda was so cool), rw seattle (David, i was in love with) and the Rw Miami (goodand funny cast!)
No, I only got through 3 or 4 episodes since its inception, but I do secretly watch Scare Tactics. I know it makes me a bad person, but I can’t resist.
yeah… I watch… I don’t know how anyone can like any one of those guys…
Ace is too much of the… “you can’t be mad at me because I am the nice guy” guy…
the other guy is a moron…
and the other guy who went to Stanford is also an idiot… stop thinking about what you should do to make people like you… and be yourself…
and stop writting dumb songs about girls you can’t get… You would think a Stanford kid would come up with something better than that crap…
The girls are ok… but they have to live with A-holes
