The first episode of Real World Skeletons aired last night and I have a lot of thoughts and reactions to share on this season’s cast… The show’s format is nearly identical to last year in respect to the look and feel of the show. They’re going to go beyond the realm of “ex’s” to bring in siblings, stalkers and baby mamas?
The show is a total departure of the show I grew up watching in the 90’s. Specifically in the IQ and general “social awareness” department…
While watching the show last night, I mentioned to Rhiannon that there was a character last year by the name of Cory. He was one dimensional in that he was interested in getting with girls and working out.
Three male cast members were introduced last night and I couldn’t help but feel that they too were one dimensional. If a riot or protest broke out into the streets of Chicago during the taping of this show - not only would these cast mates not care to become involved - they don’t strike me as a collection of people who have pulse on current events.
I know this sounds incredibly critical of people I’ve only seen on TV for an hour… but the show is no longer looking to looking to make any form of social commentary. Unless they’re documenting the fall of Rome, which is the only reason I watch this show. This show showcases our darkest reflection.
But enough about that shit, lets get to the BALLERZ of the WEEK.
Violetta - 55 points
I have nothing but mad respect for Violetta. Not only did she arrive at the Real World House in a slutty dress but the first thing she unpacked was a bottle of Cuervo. She took it out of a clutch that was designed to carry and only carry a bottle of Cuervo.
When she wasn't impressing me with her boozy ways, Violetta dropped her bottom lip and let us all know that she's THUG LIFE 4 life. I need the internets to make Violetta and I friends in real life. Lets make this happen people.
Was anyone else amazed by how small she was in real life? This is actually something that Rhiannon brought up while we watched the show together. While laying in the swing bed with Date Rape Bruno (more on why I call him that in a minute) - regular sized bracelets fall all the way down to her fucking elbows.
Violetta straight up came out to play last night.
20 points for being drunk
5 points verbal fighting
10 points throwing coat rack
5 points kissing bruno
5 points kissing Sylvia
10 points unintentional nudity
Honorable Mentions -
Nicole -25 points (got hammered and passed out)
Sylvia - 25 points (carefully put together 25 by way of kissing multiple people 10 points, 10 points for being drunk, 5 points verbal fight with Madison)
Date Rape Bruno - 20 points - Bruno, aka #1 pick of the 2014 Real World Reality Fantasy Draft - displayed some big time 'point production potential'. He kissed half of the women in the house within 24 hours of moving in and it kinda felt like he wanted to close in on Madison while he kicked it in the hot tub - promising to keep all of her dark secrets.
He may have banged Sylvia in the confessional and we were tipped off to this possibility because we saw him putting his belt back on before they cut to commercial.
The thing that intrigued me most about Bruno last night was his interactions with the girls when he split up fights. He kinda pulled them uncomfortably close to him to calm them down and potentially slip his tongue into their heads. The thing that really felt slimy was his decision to hang back when the roommates went out to the second bar so he can try and creep on Violetta. She asked him if he wanted to cuddle and told him they would never hook up... this made him visibly disappointed.
The biggest reason for me calling him Date Rape Bruno, was the awkward conversation he had with Violetta the following morning after hitting up the bar. Violetta said she didn't know what happened to her the night before... she thought she was ok and then got crazy drunk and felt it. The same Violetta who started drinking Cuervo at noon the first day into the house...
Anyhoo - Bruno made a joke that was something to the effect of "I roofied you".
How crazy is that?
