But seriously, I'm happy to see so many people were down for NOLA RW back in the day. And good to hear that Melissa is still being THAT bitca.

 

It definitely sounds like Danny is going to have an arc. From icon to haunted. Sounds like one of my characters. hehe. 

Does Danny make jam as well? 🤣

@SoapsudsDanny does look different.  I can't put my finger on it, but his face looks very different than it did 22 years ago.  Not aging exactly, but something.

And does Kelly even have a purpose?  I remember liking her back in the day, but she has barely said a word. I am jealous she's married to Scott Wolf though lol.

Yeah something is off with Danny's face. 

Kelly is one lucky bitch!😂

She's the mother of the group.😂 I always liked her though.

I like Kelly too.  GO is one of my favorite movies of all time so Scott Wolf is a legend to me.   I just wish the show would let Kelly and Jamie talk or be more present in the episodes because it was all about Julie the first few episodes and even though I like Julie, I think I like everyone in the cast more than her except for Matt, who I barely remember.

Matt and Jaime could've not shown up and I wouldn't have noticed. I guess they brought Matt back to be an antagonist to Danny. I have no clue why Jaime was brought back.

 

What Jon & Irene discuss here is that their season became the Tami Show & that a lot of other stuff happening to other roomies was overlooked. . New Orleans is The Julie, Danny, Melissa hour & anyone else will not get airtime unless you are tied to the 3.

 

This didnt happen in NYC because they all like each other and the only issue with Becky's entitlement & she bounced

I remember liking Jamie alot but I assume that was solely based on looks because I can't remember a single thing he did on the show.  Didn't he hook up with Melissa?  lol.  I don't mind him back.  So far Matt is useless.

To be fair, how was it ever NOT going to be the Tami show?  Tami had the biggest arc on that season and she is a reality tv vet.  She was going to always make it about her.  I would have liked to see more of Jon/Irene, but let's be real-they are too normal and low key.

I don't recall any of Jamie's stories.

Matt did nothing either. He just talked about how religious he was.

Yeah, Jamie probably didn't do much of anything other than be the hot, straight, party guy.

Honestly, even seeing clips of Matt doesn't ring a bell for me.  He is literally non-existent, but even 22 years ago I assume I just blocked out everything about him saying how religious he was and everyone else is sinning.

I watched that podcast & them saying what else was going on that wasnt shown, its sad.

Beth S' Hubby had Brain surgery the week before the reunion was taped and he visited the house and they never showed it

I am not going to lie, David/Tami was exhausting.  I would have liked to see more about Beth S.  I found her very interesting.  But.......Irene isn't really that interesting.  She made little impact on the original show to me and I wasn't clear why she wasn't invited back.  And Jon was so guarded about his personal life that he wasn't giving anything away either.  While I am interested in what they are doing Tami/David were good tv but it was uncomfortable to watch most of the time.  Perhaps in the future they can add an episode or two to the season so important events don't get left out.

 

And did anyone get a clear answer as to why NOLA David changed his name to Tokyo?  He just tells the group he's "Tokyo" now but I never heard a reason why lol.

Something along the lines of Tokyo embracing Japenese Culture

That's a choice lol.  He seems very, very different from his Real World days so I am interested in what he is up to now.  The one thing I wish the show would do is update us about the castmates quicker.  It comes in pieces.  Like Melissa mentions her children, but is she married/divorced/how old are the kids etc.  I know nothing about Jamie and what he's doing.  I honestly would like a quick catch up when they come back into the house to know where they are at in the beginning.  

Agreed @carolineg

Just saw episode 2.

Enjoyed the Danny and Paul look back. Looks like Paul resurfaces next week. Danny an introvert? Didn't look like it 20 years ago.😂

Why are Matt and Jaime back? Matt didn't even go the club. How lame his excuse.

The club scenes were boring even with Julie falling all over the place.
