― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link

confession: RW: NY1 is the only season of the show I have never seen
― DJP, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
ok norman is hot

who is norman?
norman was gorgeous also so nice!
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
I hated Glen so much! He represented every faux-alternative douchebro that existed back then.
I related a lot to Becky.

real world ny resident gay
norman was the "sophisticated center"

they have had THREE seasons in NYC now (OG, Back To NYC, Brooklyn)
― DJP, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
watching the series in retrospect becky just kinda feels like the embodiment of the early 90s pretentious alternative bohemian thing. its like finding a time capsule idk
also her clothes omg just
― Lamp, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
there is no new york but heather b's new york to me
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
norman also showed remarkable restraint in not socking powell in the mouth if i recall correctly
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
Norman was the gay one? I thought he might have been. W totally S though if he weren't. Handsome!
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
Anyone who interacted with her showed restraint in that regard tbh. xp

ha no wonder i tuned out
This was the first season in which the housemates were given a season-long assignment or task, an aspect of the series that would continue in almost all subsequent seasons (the Brooklyn season dispensed with it). This season the cast was given $50,000 startup money to begin a business of their choosing. The cast's efforts were marked by much disorganization and conflict, and while ideas such as a dessert delivery service and a fashion line were floated about, they were ultimately not able to start the business.
i hate this. why did they do this. i hate reality tv, because of this.
― goole, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
yeah this is when it all started to get bad

powell was kevin, though! did julie say something horrible to norman? she was so young! i don't know guys she was probably an idiot but i love her for some reason.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
i thought kevin had a problem with norman being gay? maybe i invented that.
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
everyone in the first season was charming to me except eric

I was 15. Faux-alterna douchbros were probably my thing at that point.

haha the failed business was the best thing about the Miami season
their hopelessness at actually starting a business was hilarious to watch
also Cynthia was hot
― DJP, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
i think kevin said some ill-advised stuff to several roommates but i still like him.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
cynthia from miami was such a doll! nicest real world cast member ever?
mostly i hate eric for depriving us of downtown julie brown
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
Wasn't saying ill-advised stuff to his roommates Kevin's raison d'être on the show? That's all they ever show in highlight reels.
― DJP, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
well he was "politicized"
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
which in fairness is more than i can say about anyone else on s1
i know, it's true. he seemed much more like a real person than the later real world iterations of the shit-starter, though.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
I am pretty sure the last season of The Real World to have actual human beings on it was New Orleans
― DJP, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
after new orleans is when i checked out, yeah
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
Julie & Eric both annoyed me so much, I think my eye muscles still hurt from rmde at them during the first season.
― online pinata store (Nicole), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
no wait, actually Coral from Back to NYC was hilarious
― DJP, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
from what i can tell now the show is basically jersey shore minus the hilarity

oh i fucking loved her. i forgot that was in new york.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
wait
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
he also wrote them hilarious letters! & threatened to quit the show because they made fun of him...
again watching in retrospect i found it totally charming how earnest & sincere they all seemed to take kevin + his racial politics + just gender/race stuff generally
― Lamp, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
there are still new ones being made?
yeah that was part of what made that season great
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
YES
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
to erica
and julie was an integral part of that because she was an idiot about all of it at the beginning, but she learned!
