Random Thoughts on Week One of The Island

Since my ADHD brain will not let me actually recap Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island, I’ve decided to post my random thoughts that I have about each episode:

- So far things don’t seem as rough and minimalistic as they were described at the start of the show .  I honestly can say that it is hardly like Survivor in any way .  The group seems very comfortable in the house that was made for them , they have toilet paper, they actually have food they don’t have to hunt for , and seeing that they get drunk a lot , they clearly have enough water to keep them from getting dehydrated.

-Congratulations to Derek on his engagement and baby to be.

- Congratulations to Johanna for being a single woman .

- I wonder if Johanna is going to play Kenny to get ahead in the game because he’s physically a good player.  Wouldn’t that be a good strategy for all the capable calls?

- I wonder how long it will be before Abraham goes back to his old ways and goes ballistic .

- With no Beth, no Coral, and and now no Tonya, it is going to be a much quieter than previous challenges.  Sigh.

- On a happier note, it’s good to see Paula and Tonya added decent weight .

- Jen looks a lot better when she has less make up on.

Hopefully my thoughts will be more random and more interesting with each episode .  Well, maybe a little less random and maybe a lot more interesting .

MTV Puts This Season’s Real World Out of It’s Misery With a Marathon and Live Reunion Show

The most disappointing season of MTV’s The Real World will be put to rest on July 9th. Is it just me, or did this season go from being one of the most interesting to a hot mess in a matter of weeks? And Will…WTF? Wednesday night’s show completely annihilated his character. Everything he did on that night’s show was completely unnecessary and uncalled for, and passively destructive on so many levels. From kissing his roommate (not an interesting storyline, because you could see it coming from a mile away), to blowing a freaking “kiss” way out of proportion; the cowardly email, followed-up by the stupid-ass phone call to Janelle, the foursome with Dave and those marginally attractive girls, and the fake crying manipulation; the whole thing was beyond immaturity. I would have rather seen Greg be Greg than to watch this kid expose this aspect of his personality. At least Greg was entertaining. But Will is still cute as hell.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, if you’re not doing anything on the Fourth of July, you can catch one of my favorite Real Worlders, Coral Smith, as she hosts The Real World Marathon from 11 am to 6pm, giving her opinions of the show in the way only Coral can. Also passing through will be Wes from RW Austin, Katie from RR Quest, Frank from RW Las Vegas, Brooke from RW and Paula Walnuts from RW Key West. Then, after the July 9th finale, the gang gets together one last time for the very first live Real World reunion, to tie up loose ends and deliver parting shots, and hopefully show some love to one another. No word on where they will be having the reunion show, but I am pretty sure it won’t be in “Blackville.”
