would you most like to shag? To slap silly?

I know, I know, I’m embarrassed to admit that I watch this show, but we all have our skeletons. After watching the reunion show on MTV, I thought Kaia (sp?) from the Hawaii show had a screw loose. And I have an unexplicable attraction to Neal (London).

So, tell me, which cast members push your buttons?

I found the entire Miami cast completely annoying, both when they were on the air and at the reunion.

The people from Hawaii seemed rather shell-shocked from their recent experience.

Pundit, you might enjoy this site, especially the message boards: [The Real World Blows](http://www.realworldblows.com)

Here’s hoping the link works!

I wanted to shag Sean, till he married Rachel. Now he is off my list.

_Others to be shagged:_ Neal, Norman (he is bi-coastal :)), Jason, DAVID (RW &)-yum!, and Colin.

_To be bitch-slapped:_ Kaia, Amaya, Matt, Irene, Steven, everyone but Sarah in the 5th season, especially FLORA (ish…), Rachel, PUCK, Tammy, Eric, and Kevin,

_My all-time fave cast:_ #4. I loved them all!!

_My all-time fave cast member:_ Sarah from RW5. She was the only one that kept it real.

Sorry bout the italic, but I just learned how! 🙂

the fourth cast was wonderful…and jay is my alltime favorite. A lot of people got on my nerves but at the same time they provided some pretty dramatic entertainment and isnt that the point of the show? I have been less and less excited about the show as the years has passed but I still look forward to seeing the new members…that should be coming up sometime soon:)

I’ve never seen this show, what is it about and why do the casts keep changing?

IE…The premise is that every season they throw 7 people together in a house in the middle of some differnt state and they have to live and work together for a few months. These people have never met each other before and their lives are taped, day and night… for months. They tend to put people together that are complete opposites \<hey, fights=ratings\>. It’s… well, it’s hard to describe… it’s sorta like driving by a car wreck… you cringe, but you can’t help but look. Being in my thirties, I always found it interesting because the people they pick range in age from 18-26… and they just sit around, bitch and analyze everything into the ground. I think it might be much more interesting if they got some people in there maybe in their mid 30’s or 40’s… now THAT would be interesting… \<chuckle\> But hey, they have to market it for their target audience… which now on MTV is… gasp… whattia know… 18-26!

Kinda embarrassing. . . I made a promise never to watch the Real World ever, until I was channel surfing one day and saw Dan from Miami. Ooooooooooh–he was such a sweetheart (but, oddly, he was only attractive when he was wearing the glasses). So I watched Real World Miami for an entire summer. . .

ps–Yes I know Dan is gay. . .
