Beth S & Tami vs David (LA) for me, although in terms of sheer absurd comedy I have to give props to Stephen vs Irene (Seattle) and Amaya vs everyone (Hawaii).

― Dan (Don't Act Like You're Above This) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Amaya was the dronkie dronk, right?

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

That was Ruthie. Amaya was the sorority girl who dated Colin and thought that everyone in the house liked her for far longer than she should have.

― Dan (Sad Waste Of My Brain Cells) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Stephen was the guy later arrested for prostitution, right?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Sorry. I bailed out on Hawaii early on.

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Seriously, though, I haven't watched an episode of The Real World since my Pornography of Semiotics thing, so I'm kinda lost.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Did Amaya do anything to bring on the meanness or were people just cruel to her because she was a doormat and it became the thing to do?

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Let's not forget the Kevin vs. Becky fight in RW1 where they seemed to be arguing about which one was moodier.

Or the various Puck vs. the whole house fights.

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

In fact, I'm so out of it I had no idea they stopped making new seasons of Road Rules.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

Who was the dude with the thick Boston accent? Didn't he freak out on his girlfriend or something?

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Amaya's big crime was jumping into other people's fights and being a gigantic doormat, from what I remember; after they'd turned on everyone else and then hooked up, Kaia and Matt decided to spend the end of their time in Hawaii finishing the self-esteem hatchet job that Justin started before he bailed. There was a completely excellent confrontation where Amaya walked into a room and I think said something as innocuous as "Hi guys!" and Kaia went into a spluttering frenzy and ran out of the room while Matt yelled at her for being annoying and fake. BEST BLINDSIDING EVER.

(xpost: I thought about mentioning David bellowing in the car!)

I'm glad that Real World Sucks/PlanetSocks was there all those years, just to record it all for posterity

What about Eric/David from the first one?

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

JESS I DID TOO, partially because they are both in "Half Baked"!

― Dan (Dave Chappelle Would Kick Our Asses) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

haha i swear until i saw a clip of LA again like two years ago i was CONVINCED it was dave chapelle

Wasn't the whole Mad Real World skit inspired by the David/Tami/Beth S. incident? I think it was.

― oooOoOoOOoOoOOoOoOooo (dr g), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

How many Davids were there on the Real World, can we create some sort of a guide?

There was Chappelish dude, "Be My Baby Tonight" dude, and was the Bostonian also named David?

It was! Down to the kicking out and the final leave-the-keys-on-the-counter-hesitantly-pat-them-then-leave-while-grimly-hanging-on-to-the-shattered-remains-of-your-dignity ending!

― Dan (I Think I Need Help) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

haha sorry i didnt know that would be so big

REAL WORLD DAVIDS (a guide):

(LA) David Edwards - Throroughly objectionable stand-up comedian. First person to get kicked off The Real World, even if it was for a bullshit reason.

(Seattle) David Burns - Thick Boston accent, mismatched eyes. Famous for bellowing at girlfriend Kira in a car after getting her fired for fraternization and doing prodigious amounts of cocaine post-Real World.

(NO) David Broom - SKEEWOPADEE bodybuilder. Allegedly smelled like hot tuna.

who was the NY guy that got into the fight with eric nies? the Vibe writer one who wrote a slam note for the rest of the group?

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

Thank you, Dan!

Kevin Powell

― Dan (Heh) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

Was the Seattle one the one with the wierdo bitch slap through the cab window??

I felt bad that he had AIDS and all, but God I coudln't stand Pedro...or Judd that passive agressive weenie. Judd's like a power player in comic books now.

Kevin Powell was the NYC journalist dude...I've seen him do stuff in Vibe on occaission. I liked Kevin.

What about Dominic? What ever became of him?? And Neil the wierd tongue biting no1ze dude from London?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

ANDRE!

ANDRE! ANDRE! ANDRE!

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

Andre is so easily forgotten. Apparently, a coupla years after RWNY, he'd go back to all the detroit clubs with his long beautiful hair cut short...

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

REIGNDANCE!!!!

ANDRE WAS A BIG PUSSY WHEN HE GOT SICK! DUDE SHUT UP ABOUT IT!!

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

I heard rumors back then that there was a herion user in RW1, and always just ASSUMED it was Andre, him being so grunge and all.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

I think there is actually one sometime-ILXor who once did coke with mismatched-eyes David.

Colin's double-consciousness was the best thing about Hawaii -- the way he'd spend the night being all cuddly-sweet with Amaya, and then the next day he'd be all embarrassed about how annoying she was, and go around talking shit to everyone: "Colin, are you still hooking up with Amaya?" / "Man, I dunno, it's like she just keep crawling up in my bed and shit, I don't know what's going on with that girl."

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

dude i know! andre just makes me laugh thinking about him! andre!

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

The best thing about NY is the constant string of accidental cameos! Like Reigndance does a radio session with what turns out to be Matt Pinfield (before he figured out that shaving his head would make him look like less of a tool); Becky does her recording sessions with Adam Schlesinger from Ivy and Fountains of Wayne (Grammy award nominee!); and I feel like Heather's recording sessions have some BDP folks hanging around the margins.

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:52 (twenty years ago)

and who ELSE does one think of when considering dear Andre?

STEVE ISAACS.

OH HOW WE LONG FOR OUR DAYS OF INNOCENCE, WHEN WE WERE SIMPLY "HANGIN' W/ MTV"...

― Don't forget DUFF! (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

Matt Pinfield (before he figured out that shaving his head would make him look like less of a tool

hahahah oh man, there's gotta be a screencap of this floating around somewhere...

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure Dan from RW Miami was gay. He was kinda private about it.

I feel like Heather's recording sessions have some BDP folks hanging around the margins.

I remember Kenny Parker (KRS's bro) in the booth with her! Plus, Heather was kind a real rapper, not just strictly a wannabe like most other RW musicians...

Who was the rapper dude that wanted to be The Roots in Seattle?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

I think Neil is a graphic designer now? Dominic continued doing music and film criticism IIRC.

Justin's whole "I'm bored so I'm going to make Colin and Amaya hate each other" thing was completely hilarious to me because the only reason why it was working was because Colin and Amaya never actually talked to each other! Although now I'm remembering Amaya vs "the blister" (which was the real reason Kaia put her on the hit list; Matt just went along because he was getting creepy robot ass).

― Dan (New Seasons Suck) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

remember sir mix alot from the seattle season?

― howell huser (chaki), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Heather was kind a real rapper

thus the whole pager/"are you a drug dealer" subplot

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

The dumbest and most dated fight of the whole thing was Kevin vs. Becky in NYC. They started off fighting about absolutely nothing in particular, and then it took this incredible early-90s turn and became all about identity politics, and Kevin was all "you have to understand that I'm black" and Becky was all "you have to understand that I'm a woman." It didn't help that Kevin would drop big piles of rhetoric whereas Becky would just tear at her hair and sputter vaguely about feelings.

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Allegedly smelled like hot tuna.

Was this mentioned on-air or just post-RW gossip?

I think New Orleans was the last season I watched most of. After that it seemed like they took artifice and asshole-cast members to a new level.

That was San Francisco and he wanted to be Arrested Development!

― Dan (Mohammed) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but Heather didn't really mind the drug dealer comment, in the end, right? I mean, the Heather/Julie dynamic was one of the more adorable bits of that show, the way they'd just kinda laught at each other and be like "I have no fucking idea where you come from."

San Francisco rapper = Mohammed (aka Nickalicious).

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 30 November 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

Heather B was recently in an AOL commercial!

hahahaha was she in it as herself?

Melissa wrote something about it post-season. On her blog. Yeah, I said it: I READ NO MELISSA'S BLOG.

― Dan (www.princessmelissa.com) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:08 (twenty years ago)

OMG D'Perry is Lantern7.

― Lars and Jagger (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

Haha, sweet.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:21 (twenty years ago)

did anybody watch any of the chicago/austin ones? I'm wondering if any of the anti-RW demo stuff made it to air or not

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:21 (twenty years ago)

Okay I had to google that Lantern7 shit and I am not amused.

(They kind of had to air some of the Austin stuff considering that a helpful local stove in the side of Danny's face.)

― Dan (TWOP??????) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

wasn't that helpful local an austin cop?

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:26 (twenty years ago)

This thread is making me feel strangely nostalgic - only for the first three seasons though.

― Super Cub (Debito), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Were there Real World riots or something?

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

There were riot police on the beach in L.A.

― Super Cub (Debito), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

what about the GOP cubana opening the homosexual's mail in miami? (last one i ever ever saw) that was pretty good.

― geoff (gcannon), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 22:48 (twenty years ago)

Sorry D'Perry, the only person who I've seen obsess over Melissa like that is legendary ~~stalker~~ figure of fun Lantern7.
