I haven't watched MTV in a year or so, but I am absolutely planning on getting my fill come July, when I go back to the States. Actually, usually I turn on the television, watch for three minutes, and then realize that I cannot stand the channel and cannot continue the madness. But still, I plan on doing that come July.
This year, however, might be different. This year's Real World is in Paris (I have asked two of my American friends in France if they've heard anything and they both said, "What's 'The Real World? I didn't have MTV when I was growing up.") and it feels like I need to see this business.
The problem is, after skimming the web site for a sec to see where they are, I realize their "chateau" is out in BFE. Where the hell are they? Because I don't care how much cash MTV has, they can't live in a chateau with that much green grass around them in the middle of the city. Does anybody know the answer to this?
As usual, the cast members look annoying and stupid, and I have no problem making fun of them because I figure that if they are going to put themselves out there on such a show, they're just asking for it. Still, that makes seven more stupid Americans traipsing around the city (or wherever the hell they are), embarassing us Americans that are trying to live here without getting death stares from the Frenchies each time they hear us speaking English. Is there a single matre, responsable type in the chateau this year? (And at the beginning, do they say, "This is the story, the true story...of seven strangers...picked to live in a chateau..."? Because that sounds lame).
Anyway. Also, I saw Snoop is still on MTV. Isn't he, like, really old by now? I think he's hiding it - because men can do that sort of thing - but I feel like he's gotta be getting up there.
Fascinating post, I know, but I am just full of MTV questions. All to be answered in under two weeks.
I've been wondering myself. My friends said they walked to the chateau from Paris, but that can't be possible. Later, they seemed to be taking the RER into Paris, which makes more sense. I've been wondering if they're living in the Star Academy chateau, but it looks like both were filming at the same time.
I HATE THIS SHOW, but I feel like I *have* to watch it. There is *one* sort of sensible seeming person - the lone Irishman. All of the Americans look to be complete assheads.
srah - I know you've been watching because your site is what first informed me that it was airing. And I thank you for the half hour it cost me in looking at the site and thinking (if it can be called that) about brainless people in a big chateau in Paris. Or just outside.
i remember reading somewhere that they were out in V�lizy (78)... no cable... but i still find the episode guides amusing :)
I feel like I'm out of the loop concerning my culture when I don't watch MTV. Unfortunately I don't have cable, so I have to get my culture fix elsewhere.
