The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.
What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.
Simple proof that the web is egalitarian. It's enough to make me cringe, and I suspect that I'm not alone...

Hence, we all have a equal voice. It is fine as an intellectual construct, but in the harsh light of the "real world," it quickly is seen for what it is, a charade. My comment was in respone to "lisas'"comment which appears to be addressed to Kimberly, as though it were an email or that she were reading a PM. As I wrote previously, "Nothing destroys one's board credibility faster than being wrong."
egilatarian? wtf is that?

v1man I sure do have an equal voice and on my reply on kim.. I still stand by that and hope that some one who know's her will have read this and let her know, now let me correct you I know that this was not an email wish it could have been. I know i'm not wrong and I can and will speak what I feel , so since you did not know why I put it to kim in the way I did, just had to give you a response back. it would have been GREAT to have told kim by email, or even better in person.

v1man just as i will be judged so will you did you think you wouldn't ? and yes By all means i will continue to speak what i feel and No i do not feel any mercy, it seems to me your trying to judge me?
therealdeal;11744 wrote:Thanks. No heavy lifting involved... You are absolutely correct. If one is going to dish it then one had best be prepared to take it. My friends inside BMP asked me weeks ago not to judge Kimberly until I saw the entire package, but I've seen enough already to know that beyond being a very interesting TV character, she is a very interesting and complex personality. I'm loving this season because it is clearly taking us back to the origins of the show -- seven strangers, worts and all, on a journey of self-discovery, a journey in which we are voyeurs often caught up in the drama. I'll withhold any opinions of them until their journey is done and at the reunion show they, in their own words, tell us what the learned about themselves and the world around them People who rush to judgment about Kim or any other cast member based on three hours of TV during which she is seen for less that 20 minutes lack perspective -- and probably some maturity as well. People, like the recent poster, who felt compelled to write a highly offensive personal message to a TV cast member on an internet site that the cast member doesn't read, are probably maladjusted if not possibly psychotic. Our nascent poster mistakes egalitarian access to the Internet for the equality of expression. Writing anything one pleases often does little more than to expose one's ignorance and social inability to a far wider audience than that found in the average high school lunch room. The resulting response should not be altogether surprising.
V1man- I respect your work. LOL ;)
lisas;11784 wrote:"greg being found life less at the bottom of the pool do you feel good about that" My comment was not about Greg. It was a metaphor for bad casting (or as Bacchus has pointed out, fraudulent casting). Perhaps you could invest in a course in literature to comprehend when to think beyond the words to the greater meaning. I do applaud your effort to do a little research. A more thorough review might have given you a bit more insight as to 1) my writing style; and 2) the nature of my affiliation with the reality TV. I do believe this horse is dead. I'm moving on...
v1man i can dish it out and take it any way it comes. your opinion on greg being found life less at the bottom of the pool do you feel good about that? as for your other comments on him shows you did not withhold your opinion's until the reunion like you said you was. as for him being found lifeless at the bottom of the pool ! now who is possibly psychotic ? damn, i don't care for kim but i wouldn't want her dead. get real..

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. How can she go around calling people trash when she acts like it herself? If anyone ever saw Real World Reunion: Inside Out there was a snippet of NY Julie's audition tape: wearing a pink, frilly cowgirl jacket and doing a clog dance. So sweet, so innocent. Now we've got dingbats like Kim showing their ******* and talking about "fat and ugly people." It's more like the "Sad World" than the "Real World."
Here is Kim's Audition tape...
realitywedding;11830 wrote:I must respectfully disagree. I think she is giving us a perfectly flawed character. Blonde, judgmental twig of a Southern curtured Christian... cast perfectly to be heavily, but hopefully not fatally flawed in her journey of self-discovery. She may look like a train-wreck now, but she has 'months" to discover "realtiy" under the lights -- and depths -- of America's most crass, judgemental and unforgiving city. Personally, I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I hope she come out at the other end a better person.

Kim you say you do not regret the things you say, so that show's you are a racist, and you might want to learn the meaning of words before you speak. you could not say what you meant by Ghetto, you di...
