Nope. Jobs have not been mandatory since St. Thomas, although there have been approved places that the cast was allowed to work.

My 2000 Accord got broken into TWICE. I assume no one ever tried to steal the car itself because it was a manual.

I’m so over this shit. Cowboys fans conveniently forget that the only freaking reason they were even playing in that game at all is that they were the beneficiaries of a bad call against the Lions in the WC game.

I literally remember NOTHING from that season either. I’m a Challenge junkie though, so it did give us the gift that was batshit Tonya. Kyle Brandt from that season is also one of the hosts of Good Morning Football on the NFL Network.

I mean... that’s probably true, but if someone were to ask a random old millennial or young gen-xer what they remember about Irene from RW Seattle, it would absolutely be this.

I think it’s a bit of both, to be honest. I think that whatever someone is when they come into the RW house, they become a somewhat heightened version of that. Not to mention that past about RW: Boston the cast didn’t have TV, music, books, or the ability to leave the house freely, which obviously would contribute to…

Las Vegas was season 12; you (like everyone else) forgot about season 11: Chicago. And yeah, LV1 is 100% responsible for making Real World what it is today. Less “people from different cultures and ways of living learning from and about each other” and more “drinking, fucking, and fighting.”

I remember the Slap, and Stephen throwing Irene’s teddy bear into the Sound, and Nathan (because 12-year-old me had a huuuuuge crush on Nathan).

They did have a zero-tolerance policy for quite some time after that, but strangely, it wasn’t enforced during the Portland season, when Nia beat the shit out of Johnny Reilly and Averey with a hair dryer (and her fists).

Neil, I think. And Lars was the German (?) dude. But yeah, that season was not good. Some former Real Worlders said that the London cast watched so much television that they literally did not have a plot arc that season, at all, so it ended up being quite boring.

Matt Skiba, not Tom.

There is zero reason to be rude. I thought you were legitimately asking where he was from.

He’s British, with Pakistani parents.

I'd be lying if I said I've never karaoke'd "Sunday Morning."

I remember hearing Maroon 5's "This Love" on a Mavi Jeans commercial (has a more 2002 sentence ever been typed?) and not being able to find the song, as it was before it was even a single. So I emailed Mavi's customer service, and not only did they email me right back with the title and artist, they also sent me an…

I never want to hear another bad-beat story. Ever. I’ll straight up tell people that, too. “Are you about to tell a bad-beat story? Please stop. No one cares.”

RIGHT?

Very true.

It is a good one, especially since new players won’t know what the hell you’re talking about, and the fish that have been around forever know you’re talking about them but they don’t care.

I used to play a LOT of poker back in the day (still do, only occasionally now) and the thing we always used to say to our buddies when they were getting upset at a dumbass was “don’t tap the glass.” Quit scaring the fish away!
