Behind the Screen: The Real World: Portland - Hot Air Jordan

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.

Like dude, you were on the downlow, just say it. It's common and understandable when you're a. a preachers son, b. football jock and c. an African American male.

I'm just simply ranking the character I see. You could watch a 100 episodes and you'd not be qualified to rank the person behind the character.
I don't have that problem. Too many years in the business. The edit points give away many things about cast members.

Still don't know them, they might be sneaking out of the house and murdering people at night and you'd never know.

All he says in the video is something like "Take your black *** back to ATL" and she just keeps saying "BOOP!" If in fact he does have "racist" tendencies, hopefully he overcame them throughout the show. But yeah I hope it isn't true, just one of those heat of the moment type things.
Heat of the moment is the same thing as saying "I only said it cause I was drunk". Aka "I was thinking it, I just wish I hadn't said it out loud because it's gonna make me look bad". And I doubt 3 months on a show will make a racist change, but we'll see. All this is alleged intel for now.

What's up with MTV always casting people that are "different" but make bad tv. Sam was cast because she's a butch lesbian and did nothing good for the show. Jordan was cast because he has a birth defect and will do nothing good for the show. I mean with Dustin's gay **** past that worked because that's something he had DONE rather than who he is.
I agree on Sam, but Dustin was a great character for the show. He was emotional and kinda bratty, and his gay **** past worked because of the type of person he is - he wasn't upfront about it and kept making homophobic comments. If he'd been upfront like Marlon, it would've been boring. And when there's people like Jessica and Bird in the house, we need people like Jordan. Just like the DC house needed Mike because Ashley was there.

You can't tell someone who's on the DL to "just say it". There's obviously a few good reasons why he wouldn't say it. My whole thing is if he's not ready to tell his family, if it was just a one time-thing that "just happened", why share his story on national TV? I mean unless you're not close to your parents I think it's disrespectful to them for you to come out on national TV. The only good reason I can think of is that he's worried the dude would tell the press before he did. Hopefully Alex gets to do a spreecast with him cause I'm curious about this.

Exactly he wanted to tell everybody himself cause he knew it was gon get out,(Dustin Zito) so he palyed that smart by telling everybody himself

^ Well, not say it but just accept it. He didn't have to tell all of his business but his delivery could have been better or he could have made up a better "excuse" so that his roommates and viewers would be able to read him. I'd rather him just say he was Bi and moved on. There's obviously more to his story. I also think he wanted to let the cat out of the bag before someone else did and not have his roommates turn their backs on him Zito style. I'd love a post-interview or spreecast if he's more comfortable to talk about it nowadays. I'll leave Marlon alone. :)

^^ yep, if a gay dude have sex with a straight dude and the straight dude become popular/famous the gay dude will expose his ***

On topic, they really seemed to make sure viewers wouldn't miss Joi. I don't remember anything about her from this episode except her and Ana in the confessional. She was either just boring to begin with (doubt this, the confessional thing was pretty funny), or they totally left her out just to give the people that are staying more screen time. It's odd because I feel like they've never been so selective and almost playing favorite when it comes to replacement roommates.
what the what!?!?!? Is this a spoiler!?!?

It's pretty obviously by now.. the commercials basically give away who is leaving.
