Also, I feel like Julie's the mom of the group even though she was the youngest originally  lol

When Julie was first on the show she had the least life experience. She was still dependent on her family and just starting to pursue her career goals. 7 years is a huge age difference between someone making their way into the world vs. someone who's been living on their own for a few years and tsking care of themself. When someone is 19 vs. 26. Compare it now where they're all adults and 7 years is not that much of an age difference anymore and Julie's had more life experience. It's a big difference.

Oh agreed. Just love the growth 

The pacing is impeccable although some parts I felt were out of place lmaoo but can't really complain. Heather is carrying the show and I knew she would cause she's the most seasoned on camera for sound bites and interview material. + Julie is so genuine and you can tell she's a super normal everyday person and can care less about the theatrics but truly there to experience.  

Not surprised either--although to be the fair if Veronica doesn't care for any of them other than Yes then why do it?  In my mind, the reunion only works if everyone's on board.  We saw Becky leave because people (probaly Norman) broke their word on the assurances that were made.  Veronica's not going to set herself up to be a target--she's not dumb.  She skipped the last reunion as did Pawel.

If Road Rules does a reunion I feel like Campus Crawl would be a great one.  I could see them getting that whole cast back.

I do think that one is the most likely as well

I doubt they will unfortunately, but CC would be amazing to see again! They all reunited on Zoom during quarantine.

 

lmao no surprise there

She's close to Yes and still keeps in decently regular touch with Pua, like has seen her in the last 5 years. She was also on good terms with Shawn & Pawel so Ayanna would be the only reason she wouldn't want to which makes NO sense...

Seeing someone once in the past 5 years isn't really staying in touch IMO but to each their own on that.  But, yes, one person is a reason not to do it.

Jeezer you can be a pill. Pua and Veronica talk, they made a plan and saw eachother in the last 5 years when Pua was on the mainland. I'm not saying that was only one time they have met like that. FYI she hasn't seen Tina in like 5 yrs either and they certainly "keep in touch. If her and Pua are still in eachothers lives to that extent since 1999, that is absolutely keeping in touch, same deal with Yes.

And I disagree with you on the Ayanna. This is one of the things I don't like about Veronica (and this is ME talking), she lets the negetive color so much. I would look at it as  "Hey, I'd get to see my friends Yes & Pua and reconnect with Pawel & Shawn" and not "****it, I have to talk to Ayanna". Their beef is not deep either, and most things she didn't like about Ayanna i'm sure she's atleast partially grown out of. 

So when exactly do new episodes go up?  I'm getting confused by the release dates they have listed on the website as I don't remember the episodes actually going up on those days.

But it's going to be filmed and we know they're going to get clips to discuss.  See Becky. I wouldn't do it personally if I was Veronica because Veronica doesn't handle things like that well. She already got destroyed by the fans for costing CT a chance to win. Let's not pretend people don't look for reasons to attack her. 

K I was wrong, Becky's an idiot.

And if she's the big surprise at the door in the next episode and everything ends up working out, then I don't know what the **** to think anymore

Bye hope this show enjoyed it's attention. We are focused on Allstars now. Some of them should've been on it.

Yikes! Becky is a horrendous that lady doesn't listen

I still think this show is great even though I'm more excited for All Stars

The only people that would probably even consider going are Eric, Norman and Becky.  Remember right now Heather and Julie still have access to their phone 24x7 and can work.

I doubt that Becky will be doing a Challenge from what I've seen of her in the reunion. She appears through with any further involvement with RW or anything related to it.

It's too bad that this reunion didn't hold people's attention like the challenge probably will. Reading a few posts here I'm getting that impression. They should've finished the reunion then aired the challenge after. Though it seems like most people are more interested in the drama than seeing people reunite, I've enjoyed the show when they didn't focus on drama. The Becky stuff was getting stale. It was time to move on.

I hope this reunion ends on a positive note.

I am hoping sooooo bad that it is Darlene who walks through that door next week. I know that is SUPER unlikely though. The Julie/Darlene episode was my favorite moment in tv history (with Saaphyrii beating that girl up coming in at #2). Seeing them reunited would be AMAZING.

That would be unexpected and a nice surprise.

Not to start a Queen V argument in the OG Real World thread but she didn't cost CT a chance to win.  CT was equally to blame for not being a good parter and pushing the meat towards her.  Then the dumb format of FR never allowed them to enter an elimination to have a fighting chance.  

I need to binge this - I've only watched the first episode still. lol Loved what I saw in it though!

BTW, that shot in the next episode preview of someone opening the door appears to just be Kevin, so we'll have to see next week what REALLY happens.

Literally same. Iconic. I think I'm gonna watch this now I have a huge pile of clothes to fold and will play this on the tv.

Julie is so >>>>>

The way I watched her when she was 19 years old and learned so much from her, and then I'm learning so much from her here too

wait wasn't Kev sitting on the couch with everybody else when the person came in lmaoo 

The way I still haven't watched the final episode yet... but this is ending at the right time because All Stars really took over.

loved this entire series. hoping for more seasons in the future 

im very curious if im the only one who watched this but never watched the OG real world? like going into this the only people i even knew on paper were Eric N, Heather B (from being a rap fan and watching interviews from Sways show) and Norman, and i tell you i felt nostalgic, emotional etc from watching this series

What a masterpiece that finale was.. so beautiful. With John Murray stopping by and then including Heather w/ her Dad footage in the episode.. just amazing. They can only do this for a few seasons for it to have this big of an impact imo.. SF, LA, and Boston would give me chills.. Vegas would be a fun reunion as well.
