Real World Brooklyn: Chores Will Be Chores
Last week, the episode opened with the cast complaining about mice in the loft, and this week it opens with the cast complaining about trash and dirty dishes in the loft. Really? Is this what America needs to open its eyes to? The social experiment of what really happens when a bunch of averagely lazy children are picked to live in a loft and not have anyone around to clean up after them? A show about chores?
As someone in his mid-to-late 40s, I recognize that I'm not the target audience for this show, but if this is really what the show is going to be about then the question remains: WHO IS? Do college kids really care about other college kids who have messy apartments? Do high school kids look up to college kids who have messy apartments? Does anyone care about messy apartments? I have seen some boring television in my time, but an hour dedicated to people fighting about cleaning up after themselves? SHOOT YOUR TELEVISION.
And that's seriously it. The highlight of the show was a quick TWSS moment at a grocery store. You know, for the Archives:
Ryan and Chet were invited to the grocery store to help with the taping of a webisode? That's a thing that happens. "Hey, you two regular guys, come to the grocery store and stand around in the background while we tape a webisode about carving a turkey. You know, grocery store stuff." The best part is that it inspires Ryan to go to film school. Perfect. If you get inspired to go to film school because you made That's What She Said jokes in the background of a webisode taping at a Red Hook grocery store, you are going to be the best filmmaker. Don't believe me? Check out The Apple:
LOLsterpiece. Ryan drinks your milkshake. I do love that guy at the end whose critique of the film is that none of it is over- or under-exposed. Good critique. Very critical. Then he turns to his girlfriend, like, "Babe, you hear me give that critique? How does it feel to be dating a fucking genius?" That guy is the best. I heard he got hired to direct the big screen adaptation of Tool Academy.
Otherwise that's it, though. It's an episode about chores. At one point JD screams and smashes a glass coffee table, which is very dramatic, sure, and it's a clip they used in the "This season on the Real World" bumper at the end of the first episode, but he still screamed and smashed a glass coffee table because of CHORES, so it's like, whatever. Now you have a new chore, cleaning up that fucking coffee table. Lame.

WORSTTT. JD also rips the phone out of the wall when Devyn is using it. Anger issues? Why does everyone act completely normal when JD goes crazy?
And the guys are master baiters. HEHEHE.
Is this the first season where someone isn't kicked out of the house for slapping someone? I want them all to go home.
Score = 3
You gotta admit though, he smashed that table pretty gracefully. Made me think if it was a prop table or something...it just went too perfectly into dramatic pieces. Anyways all I got from that episode was "BLAH BLAH DISHES! SMASH! Ok...glad we talked that out."
I suppose that's real I guess? Transgenders are slobs like the rest of us?
Score = 0
That centerpiece was pretty ugly, it was bound to happen. You're right, it was probably a set-up so MTV could put a dramatic scene in the season's preview. Sara even kind of grinned after it happened?
Score = 0
Too many epic tv fails going on right now. Thumb's win on Top Scallops, the camera zooming in on Scott's ab twists, Katelynn's "master-baiters" joke. Though it was oddly satisfying when JD ripped the phone out of Devyn's hand when she was on that marshmallow couch.
Score = 5
I miss "Lavender Bescarfed" Chet :( At least we'll always have Orville.
So I was trying to be currful around the internets today in order to avoid a Top Chef spoiler, but this one isn't so bad -- in my mind there are two candidates for Thumb, although one is definitely more thumb-like.
Score = 0
To be fair, the table smashing had more to do with Sarah being the worst person alive.
Score = 3
Would you say Ryan's studied film at the collegiate level?
MTV doesn't put a dishwasher in the loft so that the roomies argue about chores. Rare miss, MTV.
Score = 2
this episode may have benn boring but chet still continues to be gold gold gold!!! the scene where he talks about why ryan gave him a bigger part in "The Apple" is genius.

Through all this shit with Chet and Ryan, Devyn still finds ways to piss off the American public.
Score = 3
Anyone notice that with a lot of Katelynn's new voice inflection this episode, she is a pair of suglasses away from being Mitch Hedberg. I'm just sayin.
Score = 5
LOLZ @ Dan. Now that you mention it, yes!
I also noticed that she adopts an urban accent when arguing with someone. Not sure what that's all about.
Score = 3
How dare they disrespect my Fairway.

no, in my opinion, katelynns new "angry ghetto" voice sounds exactly like drunk anthony michael hall in weird science. its uncanny!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niBKhida-WU&feature=related

If you listen verrry closely, you can hear Rich at fourfour's vital organs yearning to make gif after gif of this.

btdubs, JD still has eyebrows of unsurpassed majesty, so he can do no wrong in my book.
