Well, it's 2010! Hope you all enjoyed your holidays! 2009 is in the past, so let's all press forward and make the most of 2010! I'm off of my mini hiatus and back with another post...

Ok, so I decided to write a review of the Real World DC, since DC is like my second home. I was so excited when I heard that the next season of the Real World would be in DC, because there would finally be a season where I would know signs and buildings and everything. Don't judge me lol.

I fell asleep before the premiere came on TV. The next day, my coworker was talking about the episode. She told me that from what she saw, the season and the people looked like they were going to be so boring. Several people were saying it, but I wanted to see it for myself. So I watched the episode, and my goodness, they were right. That's why I didn't even bother putting up a spoiler alert on this post. The premiere was just that boring.



So the episode started with the usual Real World thing. The cast met up at their different places and started the journey to the house. They talked on the ride there about their background and all that as expected. They all got to the house, which was decked out in the typical DC stuff that tourists get. You know, pictures of presidents, DC signs, and everything. So it started like a typical Real World season premiere would. And of course, I'm hoping that it would get interesting as time went on.

Sadly, it did not. There was a little attraction between the rockers of the house, Erika and Josh. Nothing exciting. Then there was this pathological liar Andrew, whose main goal is to get laid. So he lied about stuff that he did back home so he could impress the girls of the house. The girls thought he was creepy anyway, and then they found out about his lies, which didn't make things any better for Andrew.

I guess the most dramatic part of the episode was the fight between Ty, a guy who was raised in the church but has sinced turned away from religion, and Ashley and Mike who were raised in the Christian religion. They argue over whether or not God exists. Ok, I'm a Christian, but I must say, I'm not fitting to get into an argument with anybody about the existence of God. People can believe what they want, and they are definitely free to. I believe in God, and nobody is changing that. I will definitely say something to get my point across, but there is no way I'm going to get into a full blown debate about it. And at the dinner table no less. It's pointless. But obviously not to those three...

And uhhhh....that was it. Boring. Which sucks because I was so excited for this season after I heard that it was filming during the summer. DC is one of the hottest cities in the U.S., and it FINALLY had an MTV season! After a good three seasons of Real World in New York, and seasons all around the world, MTV finally came out with a season for the nation's capital! And it's boring. Supposedly, they focus more on social and political issues, which is great, seeing as though this is DC and those issues are huge. However, if we're just honest, people watch the Real World for the drama. I'm interested to see what all the Real Worlders get involved in in DC, but I'm also interested in squabbles that don't involve politics or anything. That's just me. I deal strictly with entertainment, not politics. Sue me.

So maybe, HOPEFULLY, the season will get better as time progresses. I will be tuning in again on Wednesday at 10 pm to see what's up.

PEACE.

Wow, so it's finally happening. I didn't think that MTV was ready, but I guess they are now. MTV is bringing the Real World to DC!!! I know this isn't specifically celebrity news. Then again, I guess the Real Worlders are kind of celebs not A-list but people know them to an extent...Anyways, the Real World is coming to DC!!! Above is their house located in Dupont Circle, Northwest DC (of course, because MTV was too scared to step one foot in Southeast!!! They couldn't handle it. Those of yall from the DMV, you know it's true lol) Of course, people have their reservations because The Real World is know for its fights, arguments, all that good stuff that makes The Real World one of the biggest reality TV shows out there. That's why it's still going on after 20+ seasons (DC will be the 23rd).

Whatever people's fears about the show possibly disrupting their daily lives, keeping them up at night, blah blah blah, I think it's cool. I mean think about it. DC is the nation's capital. MTV has already filmed Real World in a lot of the major cities in the States. You had to know that eventually it would be in DC. I was just waiting for it. All of yall that have a problem will be fine. Sure there will be some drama, some late nights or whatever, but think of it this way, they're only there for three months and then they leave. Then you can get back to your normal lives. It will probably be a little inconvenient at times but you will survive. It's gonna be cool to watch. Knowing me, being born in DC and spending quite an amount of time all over the city, I will probably be pointing at everything, saying I've been there!! There's the Washington Mall "I've been there!" The Real Worlders take the Metro around town "I TAKE THAT ALL THE TIME!!" Oh yall know that you will be the same way....

Note to the people that are going to go over there for attention, your little 3 1/2 minutes of fame: DON'T. If you were wanted, you would've been cast from the getgo. Just saying. WELCOME TO DC REAL WORLD!!!! That's season's about to be crazy!!!!

PEACE.
