I loved Laguna Beach, I lovingly tolerated The Hills, and I am now freebasing episodes of The City, like it’s my job. Although there are still only straight, rich, white people living in snotty social circles and dwelling on nonsense of daily interactions, it’s still beautifully shot, captivating drivel.
This article at NyMag.com explores the curious real-not-real experience of watching The City, and crazier implications of being ON The City. Here’s a great snippet about a conversation with Whitney, the show’s “star”:
“It can be kind of weird,” she tells me. “I like to think people are friends with me because they like me, you know, and not because of what I can do for them…” She pauses for a moment, letting the thought linger. I find it impossible not to imagine a girl-power ballad starting to play in the background, quiet at first, then louder as the camera pans back to reveal a sparkling skyline, the whole effect turning her silence into a meditation on the mercurial nature of friendship and, ultimately, the realization that a young woman in the city has only herself to rely on.

This season of the Real World is quite gay. Or rather, quite LGBTQ. The cast includes a post-op transgirl, a gay dolphin trainer, and an ambiguous mormon(!).
The transgirl, Katelynn, went to Thailand for her gender transition surgery only weeks before entering the Real World house in Brooklyn, and has already become a fascination for her new housemates.
Katelynn has been a blogger for a long time, and continues to update her LiveJournal as the show premieres. Although the show has submerged its integrity to the depths of hot tub scenes and drunken fights, Katelynn acknowledged on her blog that the show used to be something relevant, and she hopes to change the gross reputation MTV has given it over the past few years.
[When bloggers predict each season] what they should really say is “based on every season since Las Vegas…” Because honestly, it wasn’t until season 12 that TRW stopped being real and started being a grimy skank fest.
When the show initially aired, and for at least the first five seasons, The Real World was poignant and progressive, and lets not forget gave birth to a whole genre of television.
