Whimper not bang...

Last night The Real World-Hollywood wrapped up, and all I can say is...snooze. Sure there was a bar brawl and it was delightful to see the ignorant blonde get her comeuppance but yawn, it was boring. Back in April I assessed the premiere and found the cast to be lacking, and after 12 weeks or so that statement holds true. Not one of the "characters" grew. As a matter of fact, some regressed especially fun loving Will who turned into a homophobe, a cheat, and a liar. That transformation was sadly the most interesting piece of the show. Does he really think Key West vet Janelle won't watch the show and see him cheating and lying?

Now these 9 folks can move on to pasture or The Real World/Road Rules Challenge (MTV if you have a soul please keep Joey away from that) and we're left to ponder the future of the show. MTV has announced another season back in NYC (Brooklyn to be exact this time round). Looks like it will hit this Fall and while I'll come back for more just like an abused spouse, it's getting harder and harder to see any good left in The Real World.
