Real World :: San Diego
January 15, 2004
Okay - so, that picture up there almost looked like Real World Chicago, or was it Vegas, or…wait, don’t they always get naked, drunk and get into a hot tub? Come now - Jon, the Christian country-singer [Season 2] would never have done that!
But, I have a problem. Yes, a problem. Time for another confession from Adam. Tonight I sat in front of the TV (which I don’t do often) and watched 2 epsidoes of the 14th season in San Diego. And I think I’m hooked. Sure, all they do is prance around half-naked, drink, talk about sex, have sex, do a little work now and then, talk about sex some more, and then throw in the random “real life issue” to deal with (e.g. racism). But it’s great. I mean, where else in less than 24hrs do you see 2 couples already start hooking up, hear 1 guy whine because if he *doesn’t break up with his girlfriend, he’ll have to go 5 months without sex (his longest stretch ever…), 1 guy break up with his girlfriend, 2 minorities bond b/c they feel like outcasts, minors get completely piss-drunk, hear all 7 wax about the “important” things in life (i.e. finding yourself, finding out who you really love by having sex with everyone), 1 girl freak out because she’s paranoid of cruise ships, and 2 people (before “spooning” the night away) get into an in-depth religious conversation about Agnosticism. I mean, really - it’s beautiful.
So, unfortunately, I think I’m hooked.

I’m right there with you bro- I chalk it up to my needing a guitly pleasure once in a while, or maybe it’s research for the students…or maybe I’m just entertained by the whole thing. Has the Real World become cliche? probably, is it still entertaining? you bet.

Bro. I cannot BELIEVE you watch such crap. I mean, really!
Nah. I’m more addicted to the Road Rules / Real World Gauntlet right now, and I did live Real World Paris. Trying to decide if I need to like San Diego.

Dude, that doesn’t sound beautiful to me. But then again, I’m more of a “Survivor” fan anyway. And sadly, this new “Apprentice” show with Donald Trump has hooked me in as well. I guess “The Apprentice” is just something to tide me over until “Survivor: All-Stars” debuts on Super Bowl Sunday …

dude, that stuff is relational voyeurism… Horrible. But i did watch one episode. I was directly in between absolute disgust, and wanting to be there with them, sexing, boozing, and partying it up… The life of a repressed christian. I won’t be watching it again. It makes me want to forget why I live the way I live.

I fell in love with Paris, but I wasn’t a Real World watcher before that. So I can’t wait till RW/RR Challenge: Inferno cause Ace, Mallory, CT, and Leah from Season 13 will be there. I’ve also found myself hooked on San Diego. Hopefully, Robin and Randy will find themselves reading Bibles by the end of the season…
