A hush has come over San Francisco, because the Real World, Season 29, Ex-Plosion, has finally come to an end. But what did we learn?
We learned that it's now okay to kick, pummel, scrape, and otherwise deck your roommates in the Real World house. We learned that all young people in our city go to Infusion Lounge and Yoshi's when they want to go clubbing. We learned that lesbians are hot, skinny, and argue with one another about how girlie or manly they are being. We learned that two meathead jocks will get along like war buddies in an inversely proportionate to whether or not they both slept with the same woman. And finally, we learned that MTV is really on its last legs, and this franchise especially.
But now I'm curious -- how do the housemates feel about being on the show? Actually, I only care about Arielle, the coolest person in the house (she is a horror filmmaker and she was also, coincidentally, the person who constantly had to break up the fights). I worry that her career has been tarnished now. The gal's got charisma, but being associated with this nonsense can't be positive.
MTV had an opportunity to do so much more with their baby -- an innovative idea they created over 20 years ago. Perhaps their producers weren't even born when the first show rolled out, so they don't have memories of the impact it had, and why. I just hope they will move on now and stop beating a dead whore. Oops I meant horse.
