feel kinda bad for all these guys tbh because they were pioneers in the days before a reality show could give you a completely inexplicable celebrity career

re former pro baller kenny anderson: His daughters Lyric and Jazz are from his first marriage with Tami Akbar (now Tami Roman). Akbar was a cast member on The Real World: Los Angeles (the second season), and is currently on VH1's Basketball Wives. He and Akbar were married from 1994 to 2001.[14],[15] Akbar filed for divorce in Christmas 1998 citing Anderson's infidelity. She successfully challenged the 1995 $5.8 million pre-nup. As a result of the divorce Tami acquired a sizeable portion of his assets (reported to be half) in addition to $8500 monthly child support. Tami had a license plate custom-made to mark her victory with the phrase "HISCASH".

i think dominic was sadly overshadowed by the SNL real world sketch where mike myers played him by simply saying "I'm FROM DUBLIN" over and over
I'm trying to remember when I stopped watching entirely.
Probably around 2000 when I mpved here and had my first real apt/job and was so poor that my cable got shut off and the only channel I got for year was PAX the Christian network. I don't think I ever got back on board after that. I have, however, seen every episode of both Highway to Heaven and 7th Heaven.

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.

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.
