Real Talk About The Real World: Brooklyn

I've been watching MTV's The Real World faithfully since The Real World Austin. I used to watch it when nothing else was on when they were in New Orleans, but back in the beginning I wasn't allowed to watch MTV or was it that we didn't have cable? I can't remember, but the fact is I really really began to watch The Real World when they were in Austin which happens to be one of my favorite and Hollywood being my second favorite. I wish The Real World seasons were longer and I even wished that they would add like a random housemate to add even more drama to the current season right in the middle lol. Well now let's get down to business:

Real Talk-

I think that this season of Real World will be interesting. I watched the first episode and realized like all of reality television, the Real World had to add a transgendered individual into the cast. I realize how that last sentence may sound and I'm by no means upset or angry Katelynn is on the show, but it just amazes me how television is. First America's Next Top Model did it, then I Want To Work For Diddy, and now the Real World. Like 2008-2009 is the first time the world has ever seen or heard of transgendered individuals. I'm upset that this supposedly diverse (ha) show has suddenly realized that transgendered individuals are in the world. My anger which maybe unfounded, what are these TV producers/shows motives behind this. Is it just for ratings? For money? Or are they genuinely trying to expose the world to the issues, oppression, lifestyle choices, etc; that LGBT community face from day to day. TV just cracks me up, but I can appreciate Katelynn's bravery for being on the show and exposing her life to the entire world. As a matter of fact I appreciate all the Real Worlders who have been on the show and exposed their lives, whether it was real, scripted, or just so they could get some sort of celebrity status; I thank you for the entertainment.

I really thank those individuals who have come on the show and exposed their faults, their issues with racism, issues with their struggles with their faith and wanting to fit in, to the Real World virgins who wanted to save themselves for marriage or the right one, for the people that were REAL!!! I thank you.

I'm kind of upset that I didn't start this blog when Austin started because I had a lot to say, but now is a better time than ever.

The Cast-

Chet Cannon- I haven't had a chance to really see what Chet is all about, but I think that he needs to stop wearing those tight jeans lol. He seems serious about his Mormon faith and values, and I can appreciate him hanging on to his values, but not isolating himself from the group. So far I haven't seen him as being judgemental, but I think he should stay away from the house gossip.

Ryan Conklin- I just think him and his guitar are funny. I don't have to much to say about him.

Katelynn Cusanelli- In school I did a group report on Gender Identity Disorder and I'm really interested in researching the cause of Gender Identity Disorder (I do understand that most transgendered individuals do not identify their situation as being a disorder. I also do not put that label on them, but I do want to discover the cause or the origin of it.) Children have been diagnosed with GID and I watched a special on 20/20 about children who were confused about their gender. I'm interested in watching the show and seeing Katelynn's reaction to her cast mates feelings of her being a transgendered individual. I like what she said in the show that she wanted people to she her for her and not as a label.

Scott Herman- I don't have much to say about Scott except he better not hook up with Devyn lol.

Sarah Rice- I think she said she used to be a lesbian... Anyway she seems cool and she wants to be an art therapist; and I believe she said she wants to specialize in working with children who have been sexually abused. I hope she reaches her goals and that she truly builds who skills, especially since the abuse of children is on the rise and it is truly sad that people are hurting children. For the moment I see her as the only person who is really trying to get to know her cast mates.

Devyn Simone- She hasn't said too much yet, but I know she is sexy lol. Hopefully we will hear more from her as the show progresses. (or see more of her lol j/k).

Baya Voce- She wants to dance so dance on.

Well that's my take on the new season of the Real World. Leave me some comments telling me what you think about the New Season and the cast.

I hope in the future of Real World that we get more Christians on the show, a french woman, someone who is a nudist (a real one lol), and someone who causes complete mayhem on the show.
