The Real World: Back to New Orleans, Episode 05
“If he feels froggy and leaps, we will have an issue.” - Preston
I’ve got to admit, I’m running out of steam. Maybe it is because I used up my weekly quota of self-righteousness at Bridge Lounge’s weekly trivia night, ranting about what I perceived, under a cloak of frustration over my own intellectual shortcomings (not to mention about 15 High Lifes), to be a blatant antisemitic slant running through the evening’s questions. Maybe it is because the heat and humidity in this town is slowing turning my brain to mush. But it is probably because the most recent episode of The Real World was really lame.
Based on the previews I’ve seen all season, I recognize that this may just be a calm before the storm - we’ve still got ass-cigarettes, piss-brushes and Schedule II narcotics floating around the house willy-nilly - but that does not excuse wasting over one half of one hour on Jemmye’s decision to pursue a legitimate relationship with Knight over staying faithful to her “boyfriend” back home.
