    How old do you have to be to age out of the "Real World" cast? 24? Those are the youngest-looking kids I've ever seen.

    It's about time they did a RW in DC. That place is perfect for the show. As a Washingtonian/Northern Virginian I can't be happier.

    @UGAdawg: "DMV"-ers represent! I haven't watched the show in years. A local blog released where they would hang out, but the list contained places I'd rather avoid so I never encountered them, or their cameras.

    @Helio: I don't blame you. I'd rather keep my distance. I hope they go old school with filming this one. I'd love to see a RW where each one has their own job and not involved in a contrived scheme. It brings a lot of dimension if you let each one have a life outside the house that DOESN'T involve the other cast members. You get to see who they really are. The whole sex crazed alcohol fueled shenanigans can get quite old. That's why I stopped watching a long time ago. Plus they seem to cast the same people. The saintly female from an overprotective life. You have the bitch. The girl with issues ranging from an eating disorder or sexual abuse. You have either the hard core leftest or right winger. The militant black guy. The frat boy. The guy who's homophobic. Lastly there's the one who's afraid to come out the closet to his or her mates. Let me know if I left anyone out.

    @UGAdawg: hmm, i don't ever remember a hardcore leftist. And as for hardcore right wingers, I think i conflated them with whoever the judgy uber christian was. This person may or may not have also been homophobic.

    This seems like a throw back to old school real world. I'm just hoping they don't have a contrived job that forces them to spend time together and be horrible, horrible employees.

    You know when toddlers can't speak so they pantomime wildly and make guttural shrieks, deep-throated grunts, and other haphazardly strewn nonsensical blather? Yeah, this is what I find is much of the language formation of these kids in the house. Some variation of, "Me eat. Me sleep. Me want hump like hyena. Me mad. Taco. Hooter. num. num. ham sandwich."

    Oh, and that Schlimazel Hoottenpooter needs to eat just always.

    I don't think that girl knows what "At least" means. It's like saying "At least I don't have a job!" to someone who was laid off but then GOT a job.

    "At least" the bad stuff. Idiot.

    What was the deal with them cutting away from the ladysex the second something started to happen? I understand that women don't get together for our gratuitous amusement -- except this is "The Real World," which only exists for our gratuitous amusement. If it had been a guy and a girl, they'd have been giving us green-tinged night-camera shots and smoochy sounds for half the episode.

    @TedSez: Do you think in this new world of Gawker commenting, dirty and ludicrously inappropriate jokes will be looked upon as bannable? I mean, there's lesbianism and mexico... so a completely uncalled for "fish taco" joke seemed appropriate. But I no longer know my right from my wrong.

    DAMMIT--now that Top Chef Masters is on and liveblogging has once again become my greatest source of joy, I keep forgetting to watch this sh*tshow. But this whole thing makes me sad because my favorite part of the premiere was when they realized half the house was adopted and it was a sweet bonding point and oh I just remembered CJ's body...yummy.

    Sorry, what was I saying? Oh Ayiiiiiiiiia's a stupid whore. And also a tribal scream.

    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.
