The Real World: Brooklyn premiered last night on MTV. I had been avoiding The Real World for several seasons, missing the days of Genesis and Flora, Irene, Melissa and even Tonya and her kidneys. When Brooklyn was announced I thought maybe my faith could be restored, maybe the reign of drunken whorey idiots was over. So I tuned in. It took an extra caste member, but i think classic Real World is back! House mates even have to get their own jobs like in the early seasons of RW.
Side note: I didn't notice, but I'm assumming the intro, "seven strangers picked to live in a house...", changed? But how much did it change? I'm worried.
Of course there are still stereotypes, the "uber-religious Mormon virgin" (Chet), the "gay guy" (JD), the "Black girl" (Devyn), the "retired lez" (Sarah), the "All-American Pretty Narcissist" (Baya, and Scott, both so boring I couldn't remember their names), but there are some twists too. Katelynn is the resident male to female transgendered, and I actually feel nervous for her. Three months after her surgery and shes throwing herself into inevitable controversy. I mean, the first episode the Mormon already squealed that she "touched my nipple!", cooties were exchanged for sure. And Ryan is (twist number two, Iraq war vet) staring at her non-existent junk. But I feel like Katelynn could be the new Pablo (gay, HIV+, San Fransisco) in the way that she could be the face of LBTG and tell Chet hes a moron, so good for her.
Now on to Chet and Ryan, as stupid as they are, they're relationship is my favorite. I love that Ryan asked Chet if he "left his balls in the sink to fit in those tight pants", and that they sang to each other in a boat over looking the New York skyline. What can I say? I'm a sucker for bromance (not the Brody Jenner kind though). I really enjoy them separately as well. Ryan's and his dry sarcasm,(even if he does come off as an asshole) and the Gay rumors hovering over Chet crack me up. Hipsters and gays, the two can be very confusing to distinguish which will only make for an entertaining season. (For the record I think he could be Gay, hiding behind his religion).
I also like Sarah although her need for deep meaningful conversation this early in the season annoyed me. Even though she was really aware that she was on The Real Work, she was fun and bubbly and had a cute Monroe which is hard to pull off because that is a stupid piercing.
I won't discuss how much I love that house and how I will probably never even live in that neighborhood now because it will become insanely expensive simply because of MTV. But judging from this season's clips, it should be a good time. I'm especially excited to find out why Sarah is yelling into the phone "How did you get this number!?!" Is it a stalker? An ex lez?? Ah, I'm hooked already!
