I remember one scene in the London one where the Nascar dude was at the grocery store and was completely dumbfounded that he couldn't find Ranch dressing.

hahaha YES THE PIG'S HEART

RW: London is what happens when you put people capable of reason together; no matter how ridiculous any of them got, all of them were willing to sit down and talk like adults and accept blame, and really when it comes to entertaining television fuck that, we want an angry black dude yelling at a farm girl (or, in modern terms, girls with implants making out before swapping partners, then running into the bathroom and cutting themselves while multiple male roommates beat the shit out of each other)

it was some 90s zeitgeist shit that pig's heart

except for the pig's heart, that wasn't reasonable but it was awesome

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i remember becky as a total killjoy but in a hilarious above-it-all kinda way
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
i loved all those fools. norman!
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah becky seemed like the only one who had any idea of how it would all actually look on tv

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
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
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
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
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

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
