Re: Real World Hollywood: Ep. 7 - Panties, Pranks & Thieves

Will said in the previews something like this "gregs dad passed away because greg's a f****t". how can you defend someone who would say something like that, and still use editing as an excuse?? Fine defend him, but to be mean to other people who are offended by him and have their own opinion is not right. And why is it that you would think the biggest way to insult Greg is to call him gay, so what if he is, what's wrong with being gay??? If Greg is a horrible person as you say he is, than you're insulting gay people.

Re: Real World Hollywood: Ep. 7 - Panties, Pranks & Thieves

The recent Greg love here is hilarious.

I have never seen such an outpouring of support for such a sad twisted person who constantly degrades woman, calls everyone peasants and believes he is the chosen one.

He told Reva not to talk to the other girls in the house? How sick and controlling is that?

I don't have time to list what is wrong with Greg, but it is clear that some of you have misplaced feelings on this matter and I have not a clue as to why. I have a guess, but I am not even going to go there....

I am quite surprised how much angst is being projected toward Will over next week's episode, when in fact - not one person here has seen it. Not even the cast has seen it yet.

The only thing we have is a clip on dallies to stir the blogsphere and bring eyeballs to the table. Who would believe that MTV would take things out of context in order to make it as buzzworthy as possible? It is not like they are running a business over there at Viacom...

There are details to this story that I can not yet elaborate on. I can't promise they will make the MTV cut, but they will be known one way or another. I think everyone should take a step back and wait before coming to conclusions based on incomplete evidence.

LOL, Oops. I think I didn't address my point as clearly as I wanted. I'm saying that Will's POV is skewed because we don't have as much evidence to support it as the less skewed (although skewed) selection of clips that MTV show. Basically we have to go on his word and form an opinion on what he tells us as oppose to what is being shown. However from the what I've seen in the preview the confrontation between Will and Greg, which I'm assuming is the climactic portion of the episode, we clearly see Will act in a manner that is at its minimum questionable and at its worst abhorrent.

EDIT: I know you have an informed opinion on Greg and another for Will however, what most are arguing are the recent episodes. You can't tell me that Will's actions, despite being in the heat of the moment are justifiable?

Everyone in that house is degrading women in one way or another so you shouldn't single out Greg. Even the girls themselves degrade other women by calling them ho's and ****hes. The whole peasant thing started after he heard them talking sh!t about him in the confessional although Greg won't admit he is an insecure person and that must have hurt him. He reacted in that immature way as a way of concealing his pain. I can also understand why he wouldn't want Reva talking to the other ladies in the house. He knew that if she talked to them they would try to turn her against him. Which is actually what happened in one of the clips where it shows Kim and Sarah talking sh!t about Greg to Reva.

This is absolutely absurd. You obviously do not recognize the classic signs of a domestic abuser.

I guess that it would be ok for Greg to tell his future wife to stay in the house (permanently) so that the outside world does not turn her against him?

Totally laughable...

Laughable...
Now Greg is a domestic abuser? Reva certainly doesn't act like a girl who is being abused. Seems a pretty independent thinker and actor (hehe) from what we've seen.

Thats a pretty big extrapolation there and still doesn't justify Will's actions towards Greg.

Lets put the breaks on the other cast members. How about we just talk about Greg for a second? It is entertaining how everything that Greg does is someone else's fault. I am not sure who is more diluted, Greg or the people that buy into his spiel.

As for the verbal abuser part, if the shoe fits...

We are talking about Greg...more importantly we're basing assessment of him on his interactions with Will, Reva and the other castmates.

As for your second point you still don't back up the claim that he has the characteristics of a domestic abuser and Reva probably isn't the apt sample of an abused woman either.
