Real World Brooklyn: Ep. 1 - Discussion
[SIZE=4][CENTER][B] Real World: Brooklyn Episode 1[/B] [URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=1122"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/1174964b3bb64d4d.gif[/IMG][/URL] [/CENTER] [/SIZE] For the first time, MTV is bringing [B]eight[/B] strangers together to stop being polite and start being real. Is the format too tired to reach people 20 seasons after the first season of the show originally conceived as "Saint Mark's Place," or does the format remain relevant today? Does it still speak to us about growing up and connecting with people and the world around us or have we become too sophisticated or jaded? Here is the tease:[INDENT][quote]An Iraq war veteran, a former beauty queen, a hip-hop dancing hippie, a punk rock Mormon, a dolphin trainer, a computer geek, an abs model and an advocate for victims of abuse all pursue their goals and dreams while debating issues facing today's society. As they live together, the roommates will discover other cultures and lifestyles, plus what kind of person they are and want to become. Rather than band together for a job or activity like in recent seasons of "The Real World," the roommates spend time exploring the city, pursuing career dreams and volunteering in the community, which is very reminiscent of the first season in New York. In addition, inside the house, there is the usual drama MTV viewers have come to expect: romances, misunderstandings, fights and assorted pranks on one another.[/quote][/INDENT]We're probably going to disagree at times, just like the cast members will over the next couple of months, but that is part of the fun. Let's explore the show together here in the Episode 1 Discussion Thread.

Be sure to check out the Aftershow hosted by Road Rules and challenge veteran, Mark Long immediately following episode 1 tonight. 11 pm EST.
Let the fun begin!
lol just started. it's weird not hearing "Work together...and have our lives taped" anymore.
I'm surprised that Mark is hosting The Aftershow (because he's a Roadie), but he has plenty of experience hosting and I like seeing him, so I'm glad. I wonder if this Aftershow season will feature former RWers giving their opinions on things like Denver did.

[QUOTE=needsalife;43316]Hopefully it will be, V sounds pretty convinced of the new page RW is turning. I just started watching, so that I can skip commercials![/QUOTE] I hope so too. so far everyone is awesome, what i'm just wondering is if or when the awesomeness will cease to be lol.
Having only read a few spoilers and seeing the preview (meaning I'm not sure exactly what the cast members learned before getting to Brooklyn), I think it must have been awkward for Ryan (?) to think Katelynn looked like a transgendered person. Because as Chet said, some women are a little manly looking, and some men are a little feminine looking. You could really offend someone if you asked them if they were transgendered and they were not.
Hey peeps! Guess what I'm watching? :D I just remembered I have MTV now so I figured I'd tune and see what the fuss is about. Although I'm 20 minutes late and will probably have to watch it again when it re-airs at 1am. LBGBwah??? oh my I'm gonna watch now.

So far I really like everyone, especially Katelynn and Devyn. I think this will be the first cast where really like everyone.
[quote=Kathleen;43319]Hey peeps! Guess what I'm watching? [/quote] Awesome news. Depravity has finally made its way to your television set. ;)
The intro is nice! Didn't know Baya and Chet were from the same city.
Ok, out of those in relationships how many remain faithful throughout? p.s. Right now they are showing the cast the day we got those first photos snapped.

This might be a good time to make a suggestion for "happy viewing." One of the cast members recommends that viewers not take sides when watching the inevitable disagreements/fights that will take place. The cast always worked things out, but we may not always see that happen on camera. The advice I was given (and hard to take from someone about 21) is to try to understand where the people are coming from in their side of the discussion. I promised to pass on that advice, and to try to take it myself.

I don't want to sound like a perv or nothing but I cannot concentrate on Devyn during her interviews because of some "distractions".
[quote=Bacchus;43325]Ok, out of the 4 in relationships how many remain faithful throughout? [/quote] Maybe 2 lol.
V1man, you were right. I really like this season so far. 35 mins into it lol
[quote=Bacchus;43325]Ok, out of the 4 in relationships how many remain faithful throughout? p.s. Right now they are showing the cast the day we got those first photos snapped.[/quote] I will bet 2 of 4. Seems like good odds, but no idea who I think will last. ]
[quote=EastNY;43330]I don't want to sound like a perv or nothing but I cannot concentrate on Devyn during her interviews because of some "distractions".[/quote] Hahaha yep :o [quote=Bacchus;43325]Ok, out of the 4 in relationships how many remain faithful throughout? p.s. Right now they are showing the cast the day we got those first photos snapped.[/quote] lol I noticed that. So far, I love Sarah the most.
OK, Ryan, Katelynn, and Sarah are in a relationship. Who else is? Bacchus, I think Scott is the guy who is the looker this season, and I see him being the one the girls are interested in. But I don't really think Sarah will go for him. Devyn seems very interested in him. Perhaps Baya could go for him as well. I'm guessing Katelynn will stay in her relationship since she seems to want to marry her guy especially. Perhaps Ryan might have a hookup with one of the girls. So I'm thinking at least two of four relationships will be together, without knowing who the four person in a relationship is.
LMAOOOOOO to that haha [QUOTE=EastNY;43330]I don't want to sound like a perv or nothing but I cannot concentrate on Devyn during her interviews because of some "distractions".[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=jake93;43337]I can see Baya and Ryan hooking up, for some reason.[/QUOTE] jake93, I see that too
Though I see Scott as the more attractive guy, I do see something to Ryan that seems likable. I could see girls falling for him once they get to know him. He's not bad looking at all, but Scott just popped out at me more initially.

LOL at the jam session.
Ryan and Chet have no experience in being around an alternative lifestye 24/7. As one who has with college roomates, I can appreciate how uncomfortable Katelynn must have been. It will be an interesting journey for both guys whose background - the Morman community and the military - do not embrace either Katelynn or JD's lifestyle. JD is certainly a stand up guy for putting himself willingly between Katelynn and the house until she is ready to come forward. I think is shows a great deal of character.

Having Ryan call Katelynn it made me cringe so bad, I could not imagine being in Katelynn's shoes those first days in the house.
