Real World DC: Ep. 7 - Discussion

This season is so random,Like how they react to things and everything.

I like Erika.. I don't know, I just do! And I came into watching this season thinking Andrew was just going to be a constant bug to me, and I'm happy to say he's not as annoying as I thought he would be :D I was pretty much dying of laughter while he was cleaning the microwave lol just so random and unnecessary.

This was my favorite episode of the RW in a long time. The issue with Mike and the relationship and his identity was interesting to watch. The catfights not so much, but the Mike thing outweighed that. This is what RW does well sometimes but not often enough--sometimes drama is not so in your face involving yelling and screaming. I wish they had more smart conversations involving smart people instead of chopped up conversations and catfights.

Ashley annoys me SO MUCH! When she called Erika a spoiled brat because her "parents payed for her car" and stuff, I literately YELLED at the TV, "ASHLEY YOU'RE MORE OF A SPOILED BRAT". I can't stand her at all! And to add about the cancer thing, I don't think something that happened years ago should be used to judge someone's character now. People change.

Might as well get this off my chest... About two years ago one of my cats had a litter of kittens and I didn't want them so I threw them in the microwave for kicks. It was really funny to watch them scream and die! It was like they were begging me to open the door. Absolutely hilarious! Now, I'm sorry. Thanks in advance for being so understanding. I'm a changed man. p.s. If anyone is gong on vacation and needs a little kitty kat sitter, I'd be more than happy to help out! Edit: No kittens were actually harmed in this patronizing post.

This is the only episode other than the premiere that I have seen, but I really liked Erika! Ashley was pretty entertaining too though!

I wonder how much of the arguing between Ashley and Erika (out side the bar) was helped along by how much they had to drink while in the bar.

You're talking about taking an innocent animal's life. She faked cancer. She didn't commit a crime, no lives were taken; sure some people were told a lie and they worried about her when they didn't need to, but people make mistakes. She told a lie, everybody does, whether it be as big as faking cancer or as small as a simple white lie.

Her lie to me is similar to if she would have faked a physical disability i.e. losing the ability to walk/not being able to walk or paralyzed or faking being blind. It's completely wrong and totally makes the thing in which you are claiming to have seem less credible, it also patronizes the people in which have to deal with the problem. As in you can just say that you don't want to pretend anymore but for them that is their reality.

I have yet to tell people I have stage 4 terminal cancer or was receiving chemotherapy. This was not a "white lie." It affected the community she was in an everyone she knew. I know if my girlfriend told me she was dying of cancer, I'd have more than one sleepless night and I'd probably shed a few tears. It would always be on my mind and change my life, fully.

The language used has greatly improved. In Denver the girls were called F****** B******. Its nice to know they are just brats now.

Now we have a topic far more interesting then this episode of RW. Tells us about your girlfriend...lol

So I didnt know about this cancer thing before I read this, but it just makes me hate Erika even more. I dont know how anyone could have taken Erika's side in any of the arguments except for maybe the "are you getting your period", and the ian thing. Erika constantly throwing the "i had really great parents" in Ashleys face and then the "I dont know what that was about", when she clearly kept saying it over and over and over again (to me it looked like on purpose) and even if it wasnt meant to offend (which I think it was) have a little common courtesy. Then Erika changing everyones mind about the duck tour " i never get to do what I wanna doooooo" Then I really dont wanna eat, everyone must sstarve because its my day... The constant talking about Ashley behind her back. Even the end conversation, where SHE asked Ashley for a convo... she made that cross motion, in doing so I thought what a complete fake b!@#$. when she did that it was an obvious motion o completely undermine anything Ashley will have to say in that convo.

I didn't like this episode it was a little boring to me and it was like previous RW episodes from the past. I like Callie and Emily they are more relaxed than Erica and Ashley. The whole thing on Mike I think he is just gay and is going through the process.

We're here parents also in on this lie? Because it seems hard to take it to that level and not have your parents consulting doctors and going to treatments that don't exist. There seems to be another big lie regarding a grandfather and Italy..I wonder if that will come up on the show as well.

At times during the episode I was thinking that Erica made sense, and Ashley was being totally unreasonable. At times I was thinking that Ashley was making sense, and Erica was being totally unreasonable. Actually I take that back, I never think Ashley is making sense, she's completely deluded into thinking she's always right and I never think she's right. But there were times I thought Erica was being pretty ridiculous, like the whole shopping trip situation. Basically I just don't like either of them, and I'd love an episode to focus on someone else, ANYONE else.

Just checking in... I haven't caught all the episodes this season, but I did see this one. Is all this "cancer" talk something that happened on another show, or something that was going on in the house that MTV just hasn't shown? This episode was really weird to me... maybe because I'm not a 20 yr old girl. Erica seemed way too sensitive about anything/everything and Ashley seemed like a *****y bratty bully picking fights for no reason. After listening to those two for an hour, I'm thinking that if anybody was thinking about leaving the house it should've been all of the OTHER roommates. :)

I forgot about that spoiled brat thing. They were both being bratty, spoiled or otherwise.
