Oooh, remember when L.A. Aaron got all mad at Beth S. for putting up pictures of him from some cheesecake calendar he'd one some time before? He was all, "Do you know what this could do to my career?" Yeah, um, what's he doing now?

I think my favorite Real Worlder will always be Heather B. She was just so awesome and down-to-earth and she took Eric down a notch which was always necessary.

I went out on a date with a girl who lived on his floor and met him through her. She told me that he "liked me liked me." I didn't get the feeling his sexuality was a big deal at the time, he seemed pretty comfortable with it, so I was surprised with all of this later on.

She said all their friends always thought so, that he was in major denial about it. Damn.

@jbaudanza: I second that. I could go for some peanut butter snot rocket action.

I worked in a comic book store up until a few weeks ago, and every time I saw Judd's name on a book, I'd smile just a wee bit. Thinking about him hooking up with that cute doctor chick made me happy.

And you can tell she was struggling with her decision to say it, which is funny/horrible. She's like, "should I share his most difficult emotional struggle with everyone who watches MTV or be a grown up for a minute?" We see what she chose.

The Real World completely jumped the shark with the first Las Vegas season. Before then, they were actually interesting (although slightly insane) people. Now it's just skanks and manhos.

My favorite character EVAR though, was Flora from Miami. That bitch got some crazy going on. Wonder whatever happened to her.

ThaKadinskyPapers

]]> <![CDATA[Vintage <i>Real World</i>: Seattle's Stephen & Irene In "The Slap Heard 'Round The World"]]> Actually it was the first time someone laid a hand on another cast member aggressively on-camera. During the L.A. season, Unfunny Comic David alledgedly beat up Country John off-camera. Gold Digger Tami brings it up during the discussion after the blanket incident when the girls are trying to convince the other guys to kick David out.

Also, Seattle David actually didn't leave, but Kira did get fired for hooking up with a cast member (which also happened to a producer during the original NY season who hooked up with Becky). I'm pretty sure they are no longer together.

My favorite line: "It's tearing me up, Kira. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOOOOOOOOOOW!"

As for the Irene slap, totally not cool, but also not cool outing someone on televison who is struggling with his sexuality. Not her place. But I guess that was part of the crazy.

It hurt-ed me how much I loved him!! Srsly, I cried and agonized and made the biggest stinking fuss over that boy. If I had been just a little more unstable and had access to a credit card, things might have gone a lot differently for me that's all I'm sayin'.

]]> <![CDATA[Vintage <i>Real World</i>: Seattle's Stephen & Irene In "The Slap Heard 'Round The World"]]> Awhile ago on some dreadful E "Reality Stars: Where are they now?" clip show they showed some footage of Irene doing standup at a bar somewhere in upstate NY (i think); definitely not funny, and she definitely worked at least part of her routine around appearing on the RW and the slap, but you could hear a pin drop in the room...too bad, before she went loco I thought she was really clever and one of the best cast mates from any season.

I remember Boston being one of the uglier seasons. Right? Mostly weird-looking cast?

]]> <![CDATA[Vintage <i>Real World</i>: Seattle's Stephen & Irene In "The Slap Heard 'Round The World"]]> I loved this season. I remember when Irene first started going crazy because the lights were to bright and she would walk around with a hoodie on. Also, they made her a cool birthday cake, but didn't have icing so they used ketchup. Funny stuff, but it would never work on the The Real World they've got going now.

I remember watching this and thinking "I wish someone would love me that much and yell that." Cut to 10 years later, and having someone actually do that with me in their car, I realize how pathetic/psychotic that was. I still think David was hot, though.

I seriously loathed Irene, though. My 13 year old self knew even back then that Lyme Disease was a total bullshit excuse for her to act all Mr. GrumpyPants. Shut up! You're lucky all you got was a weak slap in the face after you outed someone like that.

*sigh* I just wanna go back to the good ol' days of seasons 1-5...
