Real World Rant: episode eight  

Posted

First, i caught a good quote from Super Frat Boy Brad from last week when frankie was flipping out. "i don't understand how she can live her life like that. part of her must like feeling that way" For someone who SHOULD be a complete idiot, brad has usually been right on point with his opinions. He understood where Moorehouse was coming from when Robin used the N word, basically admitted that he put himself in that situation in terms of getting arrested, and in this new episode, he was all over Robin for talking smack about Randy. Eh, i still dislike him.

This latest episode reminded me of the Rich girl show where droopy face flipped out when Mike brought his girlfriend to her party. Jealousy is such an ugly emotion, but usually creates great television. Robin flipping out over Randy talking to a girl at a bar was so embarassing. They aren't married, they aren't going out, heck, according to the mtv.com tally board, they haven't even hooked up [mini side rant: if you go to the rw website they have all the cast members with little icons under their names. the icons range from little martini glasses (for drunken hook ups), eye lashes (for flirting), to balls and chains (for serious relationships). Steve said it best: you'd expect a website mocking RW to have this kind of stuff, not the official one. I think MTV is much smarter than we give them credit for. The editing jobs on both the newlyweds show and the rich girl show give me the impression that they "get it". There's no way you could watch those shows and not feel contempt for the characters. They are shown as the empty shells that they are. 80 consecutive "oh that's cute" is just brilliance.]

so....anyway....she drags randy out of the bar (randy, "i had to leave the bar....before it closed!) and starts cursing him out on the walk to the cab. Then, in the car, she continues to flip out on him. It was only after Brad called her out for being rude to Randy did she come up with this gem, "everyone knows i've given him my heart." uh, come again? Even if that was true, I don't think that justifies you telling someone to "drop dead". Who does she think randy is? gladyss?

Randy, getting a glimpse of the maddness that is robin, decided to end anything before it even got started. Smart move, and this provided some GREAT lines by moorehouse about not being weak to the flesh and winning the battle, but not the war. In what was not only a great moment in RW history, but in my life as well, Randy pulled off the ultimate insult. As Robin was trying to get into his bed he rolled over at just the right time to cause her to fall out and slam her head against the wall. I tip my cap to you, Randy, for you are the master.

btw, this is yet another season where people just have one massive blanket that they sleep completely under. whatever happened to sheets and layers of stuff? Am i the only one who likes blankets up to the neck only? I don't get it.

Caught the series premeire of Inferno. Seems like a show i'm goign to have to watch. The competiton was shimmying across two buildings on ropes. Julie (from new orleans) was trying to pull her opponent off. The person's response was "what are you goign to do mormon? punch me?". if only it were that simple. instead, julie decided to try and rip the safety harness off the poor girl. As the girl shrieked in fear, julie's defense was "well, it's 10,000." I would have paid anything to see the girl actually fall and die. Would Julie have gotten disqualified?
