Texas makes you crazy!
Oh shit! Oh my God! So before I continue, I have to tell you that even if you didn't watch this season of the Real World, you HAVE to watch the reunion. I watched some of the earlier episodes and there were definitely a few good ones (Danny getting fucking punched in the face harder than anyone has ever been punched before in the history of television was a good start), but towards the end, it fell out of my tv rotation. I just happened to tune into MTV a few minutes before the reunion and was immediately thankful I did.
The first thing that caught my attention was Danny's awesome quote: "The thing that people don't understand is that we are all different personalities, different people from different parts of the country, just thrown into this house. You shouldn't expect us to get along. And there was a lot of tension...between us." No duh, Danny. Thanks for continuing the great Real World tradition of Boston intellectual roommates. And then, when discussing the ridiculous "groupie drawer," Nehemiah complained that MTV edited him to come off as gay because he was the only roommate not featured hooking up with someone. Awesome. And THEN (oh my God!) Wes and Johanna are now in a relationship! Holy shit on sooooo many levels. And I guess I was supposed to be excited about Danny and Melinda getting engaged. I kind of wasn't.
But THEN the greatest reunion bitchfest ever recorded ensued. To recap: the curly-haired host girl asked how they all felt about each other, and before anyone could answer, Nehemiah starts TEARING into Danny and calling him phony and saying that after the show he was shady to all the other roommates (this was pretty much confirmed later by the rest of the cast) and then Danny was all, whatever Nehemiah, you have the biggest ego in North America and you think no one can talk to you because you were on the Real World and OH MY FUCKING GOD, all hell broke loose and it sent my whole world into a tailspin, because, I mean, Nehemiah pretty much came off as a dick, but succeeded in making Danny come off as shady, but still, I was left wondering if my early assessment of Nehemiah being the only roommate not in serious need of psychotropic drugs was incorrect, because for the most part, everyone else seemed to have let go of all the retardedness of the show enough to at least be tolerant of one another, but Nehemiah had a bigfat chip on his shoulder apparently (probably because he is in the closet), and insisted on dwelling on the hatred and bitterness. That kind of sucks, but it's also kind of awesome of him to inject some excitement for the viewers at home. Sweet.
But Melinda and Danny seem to be a genuinely happy and healthy couple, and they do seem to be completely in love, so good for them. And although I was utterly shocked by the Johanna-Wes relationship revelation (mostly because Johanna is so clearly out of Wes's league in so many ways), they, surprisingly, were really cute together, so good for them too. Even Lacey and Rachel came off as completely over their idiotic behavior on the show.
In the end, the most important thing is that MTV has created yet another formerly normal, but now angry, chip-on-shoulder-y black man. Loves it.
