Real Bore - Watched the Real World Chicago reunion last night. Yawn. Entertainment Weekly has the details. But the show offered hardly any surprises at all. No one had dramatically changed their look. Theo seemed to have reverted back to his angry-young-black-man who "disagrees" with the gay lifestyle.

Tonya, having broken up with Justin, was now on a course of self-discovery and self-improvement. (The breakup was especially delicious given her vitriolic speech about love between two men when comparing Chris and Kurt's relationship to her own perfect match.) Having actually watched the episodes of the show, Tonya now realizes that she had come off as a mean, antisocial bitch...and she just didn't like that about herself.

Kyle came off as even more conceited than he had one the show. Having moved to LA to pursue his dream of acting, he turned down a role on the schlocky, but popular NBC soap opera, Passions. Dude, Kyle...glad to hear your parents are subsidizing your career, because most aspiring actors wouldn't turn down a paying role of any sort.

The "Bloody Mary" thing came up again during the reunion. I really think they could have edited the whole thing out of the episodes. I find it hard to believe that any viewers understood or cared about it. The whole Halloween skit story arc was even worse than the tedious fashion show RW Hawaii put on.

Even though this season showed promise early on, upon reflection, the cast and their stories were not very compelling. Here's looking forward to the upcoming Las Vegas season, as well as the much anticipated "lost" Vancouver season.
