I thought that I could hold out. I haven't watched Real World, Road Rules or the RW/RR Challenge in years. Never got into Laguna Beach, The Hills, The City or any of those spin offs, but man I cannot say no to some guidos and guidettes.
If you haven't read/heard about the show, Italian American organizations are going nuts. They feel that this show misrepresents their (our) culture and that it needs to be pulled from the air. As the round table on Chelsea Lately pointed out, making threats to MTV is only going to remind the world of the original stereotype, that all Italian Americans are somehow related to criminal activity.
Back to the show, the cast is so much fun. Too bad Vinny is boring but then if he had some sort of personality The Situation might get less face time. Every time I try to pick a favorite cast mate, I change my mind. The Situation is an obvious choice because of the number of times "The Situation" is said. Usually it refers to Mike, but sometimes people are really just talking about the current situation and thus causes some confusion to the viewer. The Situation is completely and utterly convinced that he is the ultimate catch and it is so much fun watching how his nights end.
Then we have Pauly D. He is from RI. So there's one draw. The other being his crazy ass hair. The physics behind his do is something I don't even know if MIT students can explain.
J-Woww (what exactly is the need for the second "w"?) knows exactly who she is and is very proud of it. She gives us great lines like following...
WOWW" "I am like a preying mantis" sound bite" src="http://www.entertonement.com/widgets/img/clip/wkttnzhlly/1/1_76c8dbe0_ecfa_11de_be33_0019b9e56dac/blank.gif" style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px; float: right;" border="0" height="0" width="0">
In her intro we learn that she has fake boobs, as if looking at her didn't tip us off. But at least she is open and honest about it. She has a boyfriend back home, but it doesn't seem like that relationship is going to last the season.
Snookie is the last one worth mentioning (sorry Sammie and Ronnie). She is super short, so short that I am fairly certain she would freak me out. The first night she got beyond wasted and no one wanted anything to do with her. The she brought home so dude that puked all over their porch. Only to top all of this with letting the world know she has a major thing for pickles. I did feel terrible for her, because just as she starts to win over the group and the viewing population, she gets hit in the face. If you somehow haven't seen it yet, here you go. Enjoy.
