Waiting for it to Get Good


Sat through another snooze-inducing episode of The Real World this week. It started off rather promising, but I've sat through two boring weeks in a row. Actually the week before that was nothing exciting to discuss either. No one is doing anything. While I'm glad they stopped making them pretend to work a job, at least it gave them something to do. This entire episode revolved around mice and rats. No thanks. There was a glimpse of Ryan's plain Jane girlfriend, and I'm not the least bit surprised at her appearance.

Poor Baya and Scott, why are they even on the show? Scott is devoid of personality so it's understandable why he's a nonfactor. I guess Baya is lacking personality too? She is so cute and little and bouncy though, why not do something? Sidenote- "Boomerang" is on TV! What a fun movie to watch at 10 am on a Saturday.

I didn't address last week's argument between JD and Devyn. I can't remember the actual discussion, but it had something to do with psychology. Devyn got on top of her high horse and went on and on about studying psychology on the collegiate level. She might've just learned the word collegiate because she used it over and over again. I'm impressed with JD, because he continued the argument for a fair amount of time before pointing out that he majored in Psychology in college AND got a degree. Devyn shoots back by explaining that just because she didn't graduate, doesn't mean she didn't take psychology courses. Good comeback! There's some more fighting, until JD refers to Devyn as a college dropout. She freaks! Just because she didn't graduate doesn't mean she's a college droupout. Actually, dear, that is the very definition of college dropout. Maybe if she'd finished college she'd know that.

In this week's episode, the gang finds rats in their home. Ew ick. They focus on these things for a loooooooooooooong time. Then the guys think it'd be hilarious to buy a white mouse and put it in Devyn's bed. They buy a mouse and put it in her bed, she is scared. This takes up about three-quarters of the episode, no exaggeration.

In the midst of this hilarious and creative prank (?), Ryan's girlfriend Belle comes to town. Her name is actually Michelle, but Ryan likes the Beatles. Oh he's so creative and sensitive - although when she gets all googly and lovey-dovey he's not into that. Somebody needs to get better in touch with his feelings. Belle arrives, says hi, and then they walk around Coney Island. That's all we see of them. Belle is pretty enough, but plain. Snooze.

Devyn's "fiancee" comes to town as well. She's engaged? What? Why is she drooling over the blank canvas that is Scott? Not only is she engaged, but she's also got some friend named Jim that she is sort of seeing as well? All the guys are up in arms that she is playing these two guys. Devyn repeatedly tells the guys that they don't understand the situation. How about telling them the scoop?

That was this week's episode for ya folks. A whole hour of a stupid prank with a stupid mouse. By the way, didn't the show used to be a half-hour long? Maybe that's why the episodes seem to go on forrrrevvvver.
