Not wanting to fall behind VH-1 in the race for the most disgraceful reality show, MTV is back in the hunt by reuniting the cast of the most scandalous season ever of the Real World-- the Las Vegas cast. Ahhhh, the memories. And a lot of them came racing back as I watched Wednesday night's season premiere. I almost had a tear in my eye thinking of Brynn throwing a fork at Steven, Steven whining about it forever, Alton taking Iralan's pen to get some other girl's number, and so much more. The show started with the cast reuniting in the same hotel suite where the original show was shot. It turns out that some of these folks hadn't spoken in four years. Who would have thought? The first sign of trouble started when the cast had to choose which room they would stay in. Irulan wanted to make sure that she wasn't with her former pal Aryssa, who is slowly turning into the cast's lead heel. Somewhere around this time, the girl for whom the term "reality TV skank" was invented, Trishelle, showed up. Also Brynn's husband (!) and kid (!!) arrived for a visit. Awwww, they're gonna ruin everything!
After the group had dinner and drinks together, Irulan and Aryssa got into a heated argument over something that happened four years ago, which couldn't possibly matter today. The producers had to be high fiving and hugging each other in the production room. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Frank brought home the first skank he could find that would agree to come back to a hotel with a guy she just met who has six roommates and a full camera crew. Romance! Irulan demanded a showdown with Aryssa and Alton to find out who was telling the truth about whatever happened four years ago. Then, "TO BE CONTINUED..."
First episode: A+. You know when Trishelle is on a show and she's just a background player, then you have a great show. Can't wait until next week.
