Real World Brooklyn: Finale - Discussion

[quote=luckystar112;57630]I wonder if their bond came as a surprise to BMP. There was no "odd one out", as they were probably expecting. None of the girls were afraid of Sarah because she has tattoos and likes to wear black. Baya wasn't left out because she was too "Girl Next Door" compared to the others, Katelyn's story didn't scare any of them away or make them like her any less, and everyone was accepting of Devyn's age/race. In essence, despite how different they all are they formed this friendship with eachother that I am sure will last a lifetime. Whereas on other seasons it is obvious that people are bonded strictly by the experience of the show, it is different with these four. I'm very happy for them, and the magnitude of it does not escape me. Can you imagine for a moment if any ONE of them had been put on the Sydney cast instead of Brooklyn?[/quote] I really like the way that you said this and I totally agree.

[quote=Binary Solo;57687]I really like the way that you said this and I totally agree.[/quote] I also agree...sometimes I wonder if they put people on there just to be different from everyone else. But the girls broke the mold! There always seems to be that one person left out...when was the last season that everyone really bonded?

[quote=V1man;57654]I don't actually fault Ryan for this, because it may become one of the best learning moments he may have from the RW Brooklyn experience. He resorted to Alpha male behavior because that is the only skill set he had available to him at that moment. I'm sure that when he looks at that episode alone, and not in the company of other Alphas or of "followers," he will see the obvious ugliness. Anyone possessing the good qualities Ryan has can not be immune to understanding that in this situation, he was very wrong. It is never right to attempt to physically intimidate a woman.[/quote] This is why I don't like JD at all. I feel he tried to do that multiple times. But Ryan seems like the type of guy who will learn from his mistakes, while it seems to me that JD's arrogance will get in the way of him admitting he was wrong in any way. It is also why I was upset that none of the other guys (from what we were shown) intervened in the table breaking or the Ryan yelling at Baya incidents. Knowing that Scott was sticking up for the girls during the reunion, combined with the Katelynn money situation, redeems him in my eyes. I see him as less confrontational than the other guys, which was a good trait in this house (Baya too).

However, i don't think Ryan thinks he has done anything wrong to Sarah in any way. If he had he would have apologized. Ryan has a vendenta out for Sarah and has never throughout the season tried to get to know her. He lived with her and saw her daily, but really didn't know her. For instance Sarah asked Ryan about her the night JD broke the table. She goes what have i been doing for awhile now. He's like I don't know, which he didn't pretty sad. She was teaching art threapy classes at the center. What he was quick to pick up on is petty stuff like she said african americans are my favorite, jewish people are my favorite, and would say she's fake. As katlyn stated regarding the last rank the girls did. Saah told Ryan "I didn't put milk in the boxes" she didn't. She put soap in the milk, but she never said I didn't put soap in the milk. Ryan storms into sarah bed ripping the covers off yelling at her saying she has no integrity. Furthermore, he says **** you to Sarah. I don' think he said that to any of the girls. Not saying the girls didn't have a right to prank because they did. However, why just come attack Sarah so viciosly. If you're going to say **** you, why not to all the girls since each one had some role in some way. Again, I'm not saying the girls deseved to be cursed at, but if you cursed out one why not all. Simple he already didn't like Sarah, was NOT friends with her. Therefore, when a bad situation arose that she had a part in he pounced on her like a snake does to a mouse.

[quote=V1man;57727]The difference between us (other than a few decades) is that you are of the opinion that Ryan still thinks he did nothing wrong, while I actually talked to him about it and have a different conclusion. What I wrote above is based upon my expectations following my post-reunion show conversation with him.[/quote] What i mean is he dosen't seem to think he has done anything wrong in regards to Sarah. However, if he does acknowledge that he did things wrong to Sarah i stand corrected. He just never showed it during the reunion or maybe it was edited out. I respect your conclusions/ opinons/ take on situations and always value them. Was this a long conversation after the reunion with Ryan? Did you go to him ad bring up these things to him?

[QUOTE=luckystar112;57630]... Can you imagine for a moment if any ONE of them had been put on the Sydney cast instead of Brooklyn?[/QUOTE] A fear that every one of the girls in the house had, one that does not escape us in any way, shape or form. We all feel truly blessed and that by far is one of the most amazing things to come about from this season. If nothing else, I walked away with a membership to the most exclusive club in the world and these are the bonds that will persevere through the ages.

You all were truly nice gals who were there for each other.

[quote=RockSteadyVybes;58011]The Sydney girls (minus Parisa) sUUUUUUck![/quote] I like Kelly Anne (minus that hick Cohutta), but I'm half n half on Parisa - I like her but then again I don't. She was a bit diva'ish.

[QUOTE=V1man;58020]Are you serious, or did you perhaps mean that you disliked the edit of the characters they play during the Sydney season. Absent having met or interacted with them, how do you know the real person behind the character? Just curious...[/QUOTE] well we have heard plenty of stories regarding thier sucking abilities haven't we :)

[quote=rwny4ever;58212]I like Kelly Anne (minus that hick Cohutta), but I'm half n half on Parisa - I like her but then again I don't. She was a bit diva'ish.[/quote] Not fair leave Cohutta out of this, he was great on the Sydney season. And his grandpa was even better:)

So I am a little late in the game but I wanted to give some insight to the fight in the last episode. The cops were not called for our fight. Devyn drove me to the restaurant and dropped me off down the street. I was about to go across the street but the "Don't Walk" sign was on and there was a Taxi Van coming in my direction. Well, I decided to not cross the street, but the man speeding down the sidewalk on his bicycle decided he would take his chancer and got NAILED!!!!!! Right infront of me!!! The man flew through the air like a rag doll and his bicycle went about 30 feet down the street. I looked across the street and saw once of the producers who was just as shocked as me that that just happened. We both took out our phones and called 911. (At this point in time being toward the ned of the season they gave us real cell phones, but we could only call each other) It was insane but miraculously the guy was alright. Actually now that I think about it... maybe thats why no one "called the cops". They thought they were already there :)

Oh man how freaky to see that! Glad he was all right. Don't be a stranger now Scott! :)

WOW, that had to be a trip to see, thank god he was okay though. Thanks for sharing that Scott, we have missed your comments...I look forward to seeing what you do next in life :)

[quote=LilysMom;58323]Not fair leave Cohutta out of this, he was great on the Sydney season. And his grandpa was even better:)[/quote] sure he was a nice guy and a good friend and everything - the whole country bumpkin thing just doesnt do it for me - it annoys me.
