The Real World Homecoming: New York

[Liberty City]

This Homecoming was INSANE! The NY cast did some sh*t, but this??? Whew.

[Wendy]

The New York cast, in the '90s and present day, still looks like puppies and rainbows next to this trainwreck (and other similar casts). The Original New York cast seemed to actually like or respect each other (sans Becky). This is just off the chain.

Kind of sad that things are still so messy decades later.

The fact David left again was just... whew. But him LAUGHING at the Tami situation made him look like a child. It's clear the wounds from that cast still existed when they re-entered the house.

Somewhere, in the Great Beyond, Mary-Ellis Bunim is looking at it all with a big smile on her face.

I know nothing about the original season (before I began watching The Real World), so I may brave the horror of Paramount+ and watch it before watching this.

But, based on trailers:

TRWH: LA > TRWH: NYC > TRWH: NO

[Liberty City]

So far the Homecoming: New Orleans has been a rollercoaster. Whew. Julie is a damn mess, and I don't buy her act. Melissa is iconic still.

Could Julie's Reps have written those letters about Danny & Melissa? Most DEF

 

However they were repping Julie and she needs to OWN that the Buck starts and stops with her

Ooooo new Orleans one!  I didn't know it was on. I got to watch for Danny.

I don't really understand it all.  Were they making that much money speaking?  I do think her reps might have wrote the letters to get her all the jobs because that's what agents do.  But.......Julie not reaching out and acting clueless for 20 years isn't a good look.  Neither is her stealing Toyko (David's) exact words when apologizing or getting so drunk she's kicked out of a club.  It seems she is still married, but the fact she called her mom instead of her husband when all the crap went down feels weird?  She seems like a really unhappy person.

Danny's trajectory is kind of sad.  He seems to live a very secluded life.

Some agents and managers are more about their 10% then whats best for their clients. Also back then maybe she had managers that were homophobic. 

 

I know Sean From Boston came to my college and it was near 10,000.00

I had the biggest crush on Danny. He was my favorite. He lives in Vermont? Who lives in Vermont?

I've got to catch the first two episodes later after I see the LB tribute.

I haven't even watched the first two reunion RW.

I had forgotten some of the people that appeared on the New Orleans season.

Well, Julie admitted to writing the letter about Danny, so it wasn't the agents on that. 

Julie's story back then was very interesting with BYU and Mormonism, so I think she would be a better draw than Melissa.  Although I think Melissa has 100% the better personality and does have a story to tell.  I am thinking of optics at the time.

Danny's story was so groundbreaking as well, but at the time I could see booking Julie as the easier option.  I don't know, it seems more about Julie's lack of reaction for 22 years than money. 

And Julie's entitlement of just being forgiven because she said sorry a quarter century later is so off putting.
