The Real World: Las Vegas


All My Shadows

I've never seen this season before, but apparrently, MTV has it set to be shown all night long! The last time they ever showed reruns of a previous season of RW, RR, or the Challenges was when they showed RR: South Pacific shortly before X-treme's debut, so this is a treat, no matter how bad the LV season supposedly is. I get to see FRANK again! I *loved* him on the second Battle of the Sexes!

Anyone know if they are rerunning any other seasons? I would die to see something from the glory days.

I too was very surprised to see MTV running a marathon of an old season of RW. They haven't done this in years...so when I turned on to see Las Vegas I was so shocked.

Las Vegas was just pure sinful and crazy...haha. Trishelle and Steven were sluts - the Alton/Irulan thing got old - and they just partied and partied and partied the entire time. I can't believe how sinful that season was!!! I think part of it had to do with them living in a penthouse at a casino - not just a typical house or city-life. It was just different.

I'd love it if MTV would run reruns of better old seasons like Miami, Boston, Seattle, San Fran, etc.

^^Yuck - Frankie and Jacquese would be the two reasons I wouldn't want to watch that season! lol - isn't it funny how everyone has different tastes?

Paris was just as bad - except the scenery was nice.

I don't know why they picked Las Vegas other than Trishelle has made it 'big' as a D-list reality-star. Other than that, I wonder why they'd randomly pick Las Vegas?

This show really peaked in quality and cultural impact during the San Francisco season. That, in most aspects, remains its most lauded and powerful season.

Personally, I think this show has been utter crap after the Hawaii season, from New Orleans on, it became a major pretentious bore. However, the London season is probably the worst, as no one remembers it. :lol:

You are dead on my friend! I'd say that it became utter crap right in the middle of Hawaii. After Ruthie had to leave, it became the Colin/Amaya show and became a major bore. Then from there on (with a possible exception of Chicago) every season has become a 'pretentious bore'. I usually watch the first half of the season and then end up forgetting about it or get tired of their s.h.i.t and might catch the reruns here and there, if that.

There was a poll for which RW season viewers wanted to see and the winning season would be aired. I think the choices were B2NY, LV, NO, Hawaii, and SD.

Watching LV and thinking about the way I saw it back when I was 18 or so, yes there was a whole lot of sex, but there a whole lot of drama too. The drama was fun to watch, but I couldn't help but shake my head at the fact that they were the same age I am now, and how damn immature they all were.

I only really watched the first 3 episodes of Austin and a few in reruns. Didnt seem too bad but then again I wasnt watching the whole season. I actually loved Philly. I thought the show had redeemed itself a bit. Still the last really good season was Chicago. I loved and enjoyed that one from beginning to end. I havent been able to say the same since. For the most part they've all been garbage. Paris was bad as well. Why cant they bring Road Rules back? That show really was becoming much better than RW towards the end. Loved South Pacific and the X-treme one

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
