I would have thrown out all those dishes if I were in a neutral party and bought paper plates/forks/knives and cups just to stop this childish game from going on.

OK! I wouldn't have thrown out the dishes, but definitely would have thought about the paper and plastic products. I think Katelynn figuring out how to break the lock was cool, though.
Alright, so JD has essentially idolized Pedro ever since the premiere of Real World: San Francisco. He draws so many parallels to himself and Pedro with them both being young gay men from Miami and of Cuban descent, oh and they're both RW alumni. So when we - you know, the [I]whole[/I] cast - was assigned the Pedro project he pretty much took over. We all divvied up jobs and responsibilities about who would handle what and we each worked toward that endeavor.
At first we figured that JD was just so excited to be apart of the event that it would be the reason for him trying to take ownership of everything. The house got that, and we were cool with it... until he started acting like, well, JD.
Sarah was in charge of drawing up posters. We all approved of her design and when we were about to get it printed out, JD calls up one of his friends in the printing business and him print out these sample fliers which were, pretty much, a poor knock-off of Sarah's design. When Sarah approached him about it he became obstinate and told her that his design was "sooo much better" and how he felt she wasn't being serious about the event.
*blink blink*
Then there was the argument about the location (New York Film Academy vs. The Center), the entire house agreed that we should do it at the Film Academy so as not to alienate people. Well, JD ambushed me (with the cameras there) at The Center and had brought people from the Center's board to discuss why they would be the better choice. He put me on the spot and made me feel uncomfortable because these were my colleagues. He later denied having planned any of it, you know, just like he denied outing me to anyone.
He didn't just take charge, he took over and *****ed about anyone and anything that didn't go his way. Personally I wouldn't have cared less because I was looking for a job and really would have preferred to not have been involved, but production told me that this was a mandatory assignment, and contract blah blah blah.
JD often referred to this as [B][I]his[/I][/B] assignment, and I don't care how much you idolize someone or how influential they are to you, this was a group project and JD was not at all a team player. Alas, far be it from BMP to show footage of anything of actual import, instead we are back to petty bickering over dishes and birthday parties. JD definitely received the "good guy" edit this episode.
[quote=Buck05;52887]And ENOUGH WITH THE PRANKS!... I feel like anymore it's a prank, followed by a commercial break, then another prank.[/quote]
At first it was funny but now its getting out of hand. Is this the first RW with pranks every episode? Anyone see the dailies? I swear there are 5 of them with Ryan or Chet pretending to be Calvin Klein.
Thanks, Katelynn. Of course what actually happened would not be shown because the movie is the pet project of BMP. Sometimes the truth doesn't fit the message.

Devyn and I were going to, but the boys castigated us for it. At that point in the filming we were at each other's throats and were over their hypocritical, sexist double-standards. I don't know about other seasons, but I think that the worst of everyone comes out at the end of month 3. Living under the conditions that you did, petty things which you would otherwise disregard as pedantic and inconsequential become life-or-death issues.
Sort of how prisoners often arrange their food before they eat it because it's the only way of exuding control over their environment.

So I think that sounds VERY rude of them to do...

No wonder you along with other people in the house were so fed up with everything. I for one could not deal with someone who wants to control everything.
