No good has ever come from telling someone you don't like them or vice versa. But I guess most people enjoy being in excruciatingly awkward situations.

I'm really glad that when I was their age, there was zero peer pressure to make out with other women for the purposes of putting on a show for bystanders (I'm shy and straight, so the idea has subzero appeal for me.) I wonder if twenty years from now, young men will feel socially obligated to make out with one another in order to titillate an audience. Oh, who am I kidding? Female bisexuality is hot, hot, hot and male bisexuality is just for closeted gay dudes.*

@cirocco: Favorite way to make guys uncomfortable: "actually, seeing the two of you make-out would make me horny."

What I never understand about the "tell it to my face!" concept is why do you need the confirmation? It is pretty obvious when people do not care for you and are acting accordingly, why would you want them to tell you they dislike you? So you can say, "I don't care if you don't like! I don't like you either!"

I guess this is why I'll never be on a reality show... too logical. And I'm not slutty enough to be entertaining.

Honestly, Jonna is the only girl I really can relate to this year, since I never had interest in giant dramastorms, even when I was younger, and I'd naturally gravitate to the less drama-filled individuals and groups. Still do, to boot. But yeah, I'm totally a sideliner in drama ego fights - just leave me the heck out of it.

Of course, nothing on this show can really be said behind a person's back since it's all being filmed. I've always thought that fact would keep me from saying, oh, anything. Ah youth. And alcohol.

from what joel mchale has been making fun of on the soup, this looks like it could be one of, if not, the worst season yet. although, the seasons abroad usually aren't very good for some reason. i really hope dc is good, but i don't want to get my hopes up too high. i made that mistake with brooklyn.

If I'm pissed, I'll tell you. So I'm not pissed now. But when you see my fist going straight to your face, that isn't me being pissed. Because I'll tell you when I'm pissed. You'll know because I'll say I'm pissed. But I'm not pissed.

I am a big proponent of saying something to ones face. When I was younger my step-mother used to make fun of me behind my back or underhandedly and I have always thought it to be the most cowardly of actions.
If you don't like someone have the fucking courage to say it directly to them, and let them offer a rebuttal. It's much more classy that way.

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I agree, there is almost no way to respond to something said behind your back. Usually because the person ends up denying it or equivocating. And then of course you have the lovely situation where the person who told you doesn't want to get in trouble for telling...the drama people create.

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.:

Me too, and I'm not even that confrontational. I had (still have, unfortunately) a neighbor who would talk shit about me, loud enough so I could hear it through the floor. Eventually I snapped, went down there, and asked him to say whatever he has to say to my face. That shut him up right quick.

Real World attention whores aside, most people clam up with the passive-aggressive, underhanded behavior when called out on it.

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Your step-mother sounds like a world class bitch. But isn't there another option besides mocking someone behind her back or having a balls-out confrontation in front of an audience? If someone is merely irritating and hasn't done some specific wrong to me I just keep my dislike to myself.

In reply to The Real World: What Are These People Talking About?
Yes! I am always so confused as to why these people want to yell at each other. They should just be uncomfortably silent and shoot evil glances at each other to make the other roommates feel awkward. Then, they can both get over it without having to have the weird apology moment AND the roommates can pretend that they don't know there's a problem while bitching about them behind their backs!!

Seriously - confrontation just ruins all the good gossip.

Reality show mad libs would include a healthy dose of "behind my back" and "throwing me under the bus" plus, obvs, liberal amounts of random hook ups.

Come to think of it, that would be delightful.

Though I wonder if, like pop and country music, this is just a genre too ridiculous to parody.

@sequined: I think the cliched sayings would make a wonderful drinking game.

"You're just JELLUS!" Shot.
"Get outta my face!" Drink.
"I'm not her to make friends" Shotgun beer, ultimately pass out from repeated blather from reality TV drones.

I don't know if you can "win" with a game like this, but you'll get one hell of a buzz.
