Jamie was also in "Sucker Punch" and "The Hangover II", making her (I believe) the most successful RW actor alum
I am pretending that "Stolarczyk" and "Playboy" were never in the same sentence
xp: yes, Lindsay was the Oompa-Loompa; I liked her

I think I've actually seen them
IIRC they looked like they took pictures of someone who wasn't actually Beth S and labelled them "Beth S"

Hawaii was the last one I watched. I really disliked most of that cast. Matt (?) was such a scumbag. And that pretentious girl was really awful was well.
― MrDasher, Friday, 22 July 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
as well

The days are long, the years are short.
Wasn't it the Chicago/Wicker Park year where there was finally the coordinated online effort to fuck with the house/cast since everybody knew where they were living?
― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
I think it was RealWorldSucks that started calling her (Kaia) K-A1-a, claiming she was a malfunctioning android
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
Andif I remember correctly her real name was Margaret and she started calling herself Kaia after a trip to Africa.
― MrDasher, Friday, 22 July 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
I remember thinking that had I lived in that house, I would have either pulled a Ruthie and drank myself into rehab or a Justin and attempted to make my roommates destroy each other
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
She seemed to really relish being mean to Amaya after Amaya did whatever she did that justified everyone being mean to her. And then she decided she "liked" Matt.
― MrDasher, Friday, 22 July 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
I remember Amaya saying some stupid shit about Ruthie at the beginning but watching her go from being "the vain popular girl" to "crying target of unearned ire" was really difficult to watch; Ruthie's behavior/support in the midst of all of that given the shit that happened earlier really made me love her more.
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 16:03 (twelve years ago) link
TECK IS HOSTING HOLE IN THE WALL NOW
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Friday, 22 July 2011 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, Ruthie definitely ended up being the most admirable and likable of that cast. The others (except Teck, I think) were obviously enjoying ganging up on the weak one and being able to "justify" it.
― MrDasher, Friday, 22 July 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man, I loved RealWorldSucks. Never watched the show, only the recaps which treated the participants with the scathing derision they deserved.
