As an old, I'm still stuck on the original NY cast with Midwestern Julie and Hip Hoppin' Heatha. I grew up somewhere around the time Pedro died and I knew the world was not really all about seven strangers picked to live in a house to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.
I've noticed a lot of my friends and co-workers have started giving their newborns different spellings for popular names like Genifer or Katelyn and on and on. That will be a lifetime of misery for the kids with no real gain. Names are never what makes someone original.
Are they recycling backstories for these people? Baya's bio (fun to say, fun to type) reminds me of a weepy trainwreck straight white chick from a previous season...Trisha? Trishelle? Tisha? Some made-up nicknamey T name.
"He won't be featured much because he's featureless. A scandal-free workout machine."
I think that could have been said about the weightlifting guy from the Hollywood cast. Then he went on a month-long roid/alcohol/cocaine-bender that resulted in psychotic behavior. So we can hope for the best.
Ok, for those Top Chef live-bloggers who also like The Real World and lack Tivo, I've checked TVguide.com and discovered that this premiere Real World episode will be rebroadcast no less than 13 times on MTV at various times throughout the coming week.
I applaud the inclusion of a tranny this season. Next year, I'm hoping for an eskimo. They can do that obligatory "returning home" episode and we can see them skin a walrus. It'll be awesome, and educational.

But I couldn't live-blog it — even in the (unlikely) event Gawker wanted me to — because it's on at the same time as Top Chef.

Has there been a Real World: Atlanta?

1. Chet? Seriously....ok then.
2. I can't wait for Real World: Harlem. Or maybe Real World: Compton. So much edgier.

And I thought Bravo went overboard with the rebroadcasts!

(Sharon from London doesn't count. Because it was London and no one from there counts. Aside from Jacinda. But that's because she fucked Leo.)
