beyond the real world cameras: blue and blacked out with robb

I told you I wanted you to pick who I talked to after this week's episode, you did, and now I'm delivering the goods to you!

It was only right [/necessary] that I talk to Robb. Why in the hayll did he do that to his face?! and HOW?! and is he doing it anymore?!

I asked him all of that, and some about how Marie really treated him and the split personalities we're starting to see in Laura. Clearly there could have been some little ginger babies running around the house if there was just one thing missing from the way this cast was set up. You'll hear all about it....



When he said it shouldn't be laughed about, I totally felt like an a-hole for doing it so many times... He's right- it is a serious matter... I guess I'm just so shocked that it all happened that my awkward self thinks it's funny. Plus- if he really has gotten it under control, we might as well laugh about the past, right?

We'll vote again for next episode on Wednesday! In the meantime, catch up on all the others if you need to or let me know what your thoughts on everything are!

beyond the real world st thomas cameras: a tall order of robb and brandon!

YOU GUYS. We've seen 6 episodes, and I've talked to 6/7 of the roommates! I'm baa-aaack.

I've been waiting for a good time to talk to Robb, and apparently I did it right! Brandon happened to be at his house last night when we chatted, so obvi I got him on the phone, too.

We talked about what made Marie so *different* that he fell for her and what he'd do if Marie was hit on in front of his face like Laura was. I also got a question from Callie on Twitter- Why didn't anyone call out Trey for being a hypocrite!?

Seems like Robb kept his distance from Trey while on the island.

Also, Brandon let us in on what they really did on St Patty's Day [yacht party!] and why being on the Real World has ruined his childhood loves.

I've also been wondering if there may be an interesting dynamic between LaToya and Swift after talking to him last week. And by "interesting dynamic," I mean the need for a good hate-bang. Obviously I asked the boys about this.



"The only couple still together?!" Oh no! WHO SAW THAT COMING?! ;)


Goodness I can't wait until this reunion. It's clear they don't all love each other, and there are going to be some colorful conversations.

Hopefully I can snag Laura for next week! If not, do you have a fave that I should get back on? Hollerback!

let's do it: the real world st thomas premiere!

I've told you how it's going to go down, now it's time to make it happen! Wednesday night, 10pm EST, meet me right here to chat about the debut of 7 new strangers living on their own freaking island.



Since I was sent the first couple episodes to pre-screen, here are my initial thoughts on what we can really expect:

The roommates: 

Marie and LaToya had me cracking up the entire first episode. They had HUGE personalities and so far, are very likable.
Marie is a bit of a bitch, but in the "Imma tell you how it is and we're gonna laugh about it" way. Basically, just how I like my friends. She had no idea what to expect when meeting her first roommate- "He might be black, white, orange, who knows." Then she met ginger Robb... "All orange."
LaToya had me cracking up when she was getting off the plane and referred to herself as Michelle Obama. I can't type it to make it funny, so just be on the lookout for that moment.
Laura is totally cute, but already the center of an intense love triangle.

So far, all the guys are also really likable. I was worried about Trey after the stuff I found while filming, but as of now, he's an effing hottie. And Swift- hello sir, can I have you?

The drama and the storylines: 

They certainly didn't hesitate with jumping right into some serious cases of drama, as well as roommate relationships. There's also already a severe outcast. Just wait until you hear the music they play when the poor roomie is left alone.
If episode 1 is setting up the rest of the season, it's safe to say we're going to have everything a good Real World season needs: love/triangles, stupid fights, crazy girls, and more serious drama. I just hope they didn't jump into it all too soon, to be honest.


I can't wait to see what you think about all of them and what's to come! Don't forget to set a reminder to join me here [and tell your friends so you can win some swag]!

love,

real world st. thomas: robb and marie revealed as cast members!

Tada! Molds13 over at Vevmo hit the jackpot today and let me know that they found info on two of the roommates filming Real World 27 in St. Thomas right now!

First of all, meet Robb Schreiber, not to be confused with Rob Schneider [or so I hope].

• 21
• from Bensalem, PA
• Went to Kutztown University until 2011 and majored in electronic media
• Played basketball
• Described himself as this: "I'm me, originally one of a kind; I love life and always maintain a smile on my face and a positive attitude. Essentially I'm the ****.. up in this *****. Get to know meeeeeeeee."
• And yes, he is in fact a ginger.

A lot of people hating on him based on facts [being from PA, gingerness], but I mostly think he seems normal so far. We shall see if more pics are found. [We did find a couple of him before, remember? He's the Dustin lookalike.]

Anddd meet the hott wild child, Marie Roda.

• 23
• from Staten Island, NY
• Probably went to SUNY in Albany and studied in Washington for a semester
• Described as a wild child who knows how to drink dudes under the table.
  

She posted that tweet when she left, obviously, and judging by what I can see, she looks like my kinda girl! [And every guy's kinda girl..] I'm excited to see if she's the fun wild or the reckless one.

That's all the news for now! I've been RT'ing things that people tweet from the island, so look out for those if you wanna know what's up!

love,
elizabethany
