I’m starting to get the sinking feeling that Joey has an issue with TME (Too Much of Everything). In the scenes from next week’s Real World XX, he admits to once having an alcohol problem. OK, that accounts for the beer guzzling and drunken arm wrestling on the latest episode. But what’s with the body-building? Seriously, how many weights must one lift to mold muscles that ripped? In this video from RealWorldDailies.com, Joey eats trail mix excessively after a long night of drinking excessively, then removes some excess clothing after being accused of having excess fat. The Incredible Hulk would be proud, but maybe not Joey’s mama.

Good luck Joey. You seem like a genuinely sweet person who has had a rough road. It appears from the previews that you at least begin the process of dealing with your past and how it’s affected you. Stay strong, handsome, and level-headed. Also, don’t be so hard on yourself.

Honestly joey ur problem is u have the classic white male mentality that we see every year on real world. You are the overly excessive person who wants to have all the attention and has to be loved by everyone in the house. He was right when he said he doesnt think about his actions before he does things (niether do I so I can tell when other people dont, and he said he doesnt) thus being the one person in the house who presents the fake ass personality facade. He and the girl in the house that called Bri ghetto both have been culturally sheltered and its obvious. He and her both were mad at Greg early on because he was real and still is real; Greg was expressing to everyone in the house how he was so there would not be any surprises later on as we will see next episode (joey’s alcohol problems). Its real easy to point the finger and judge someone but until we truely look inside ourselves is only when we will be truely real—–and thats real.

warner william, i love what you said man, and it gave me a whole different opinion on the first couple of episodes. Thank you for helping me understand everything, and I love this show. I love Joey, and Dave seems like a cool ass guy.
My only real question here is, when will they start hanging out with Greg?
April 26th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
this is in response to warner williams. i have known “joey”, as all you people who dont know him call him, since i was 7 years old. if there is absolutely one thing i can say about joe is that he doesnt need all the attention. clearly you are just bringing it to him without him even trying. “joey” is one of the most down to earth people i know and he is like my brother and i love him with everything that i have. you know nothing about him and its sad you sit here and talk ~*%* about him. let me tell you if you knew him, you wouldnt think twice about talking about him. and another thing, where we grew up was not sheltered by any means. you are talking about not judging someone and you are sitting here saying “joey” has the classic white male mentality. come on now man, you got to start making sense. you know nothing about his life and as a matter of fact, lets keep it that way.

I’m worried. It’s worriesome. The dramatic nature of this season is really starting to piss me off and drag me in with each friggin trailer. WHAT is with the scary dramatic music for this season?! Ugh. I just hope it’s to keep up watching and not becuase anyone is seriously going to be hurt.
Joey and the rest of the cast this time seem extremely multi-faceted, which is a welcome change from the last season. I’ll keep watching.

I want Joey to know that my heart really goes out to him, I totally understand his struggle with alcohol and I hate seeing the amount of pressure that is being put on him to drink. Joey, stay strong. As young as you are, you know you have a purpose for your life, and you know your limits. Show business is a tough and cutthroat industry, and you’ll have to stay true to who you are. God bless you….and don’t let Hollywood take away your heart or the sweet person you are inside.

honestly joey……..i think ur freakin kool, what kinda workouts do ya do?…btw ur hairs the #$#@ haha

Joey is one of my favorites in the house this season next to Brianna and Dave. I’m actually starting to like Greg given that he turned me off with his shoulder chip initially but who has at least made a real effort to mesh with his roomies.
Will, Sarah and Kim do nothing for me at all.
Joey, although beautiful on the outside, definitely has some major demons and I think that watching him face them and move on with his life is going to be some of the best episodes to come this season.

To respond to nicole, 1. Im not judging him, trust me I’m not in any position to judge anyone, however, I will say that I am making an observation simply by what I see on television. And 2, while the television is not a good way to observe the real personality of a person, it is still all I have to go by. 3 I am a single person in Virginia how do “I” bring attention to 1 person all the way across the country? He brings attention to himself because he is very attention needy person. I’m sure “Joe” is a great person, at least as you know him, but “Joey” seems to be a troubled person, as seen on t.v. Like I said I am not judging him, but I am observing him and comparing him to other guys on Real World, particularly other guys with drinking problems. And its ok to have the classic male mentality, the classic W.A.S.P. (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) has the world in his palm, so why would he not be who he wants to be. And its very clear that you and he both live in a culturally sheltered community; how do I know?, because I do too. lastly the Real World producers should create the next Real World cast with the majority of the cast being minorities (ie. black, asian, latino, etc.) that’s a true social experiment–and thats real.

I like Joey but come on, the obsession with his body is starting to get to be a little annoying. It’s fine to want to work out and stay fit but it seems like he’s constantly showing something off or talking about how buff he is…..

Hey Joey,
You can do I know you can because I see a drive in you but you feel like you are being pressured and no one can pressure you unless you let then… NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ALLOW THEM! 
I learned that when I got cleaned… Okay Im done.. Sorry fot a letter. LOL But I felt you deserved this from me… I hope all is well and you keep things well… All things through SOBRIETY will keep you honest and healthy.. Be safe xoxo
If you get to read this that would be great because I wasn’t going to write to have this just sit in a diary for everyone else to read. I understand what you are going through with the drinking because I was there but alot worse. I was addicted to everything and then over-dosed. But by the grace of God I am Sober now and alot happier… But you and I cannot do it on our own. because then we will just fail but if we do it with a higher power, and I mean that could be anything the man up above, your shoe, a tree , just u and someone else. I mean I am not here to preach to you cuz I am only 20 yrs old and the second I went to a boring meeting or a closed (AA) meeting. I got up and left so I wanted to write this to you because I started when I was 10 yrs old and now I have a hole in my small intestens that could turn into them puting a feeding tube in for the rest of my life…. DONT GET TO THAT!!! Have the WILL POWER to quiet now and every day you do for the rest of your life you will feel like you can accomplish anything. Because now I can, when before I couldn’t even come out of my room..
Your Friend,
Jeannie Villar

Joey, I can relate 100% to you. I feel like I am watching myself, when I watch the show. I know what you are going though. Stay strong.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Is it in your family? Break the chain don’t follow it. I feel like I am watching myself on the show. It’s scary. I can relate 100% to you.

Joey is an alcoholic, and I wish more people understood what that means. Alcoholism is an incurable disease, and it doesn’t go away, no matter how long a person has been sober. I have been sober for 2 years, but I’m still an alcoholic; if I picked up a drink today, I would be right back where I left off 2 years ago. Joey reminds me of myself and of many others that I know in the fellowship of AA. I hope that this show helps him to realize he needs help, and I hope that he gets a chance to talk to people who understand his disease. Until then, please don’t judge him too harshly, and try to remember that he is not a weak or stupid person, he is a sick person.

Joey seems like the most genuine person alive. You do not meet many people like him that has wanted to change his life and stay away from negative situations. It is hard to see someone these days as nice as him. People now are dismissing and want nothing to do with anyone and are hurtful. Everyone needs a friend like Joey in their life.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
JOEY: Stay strong, Hun! You seem like such a kind person.(I dunno if you will read this but just in case)
Seriously. I stopped drinking, partying etc 9 months ago and the first few times I went out sober with friends after quitting was REALLY HARD. People have so many cynical comments or questions as to why you would stop like “Did you do something bad? were you an alcoholic? Are you pregnant(obviously not you)?” - unless someone’s been there, they don’t understand.
I just made a lifestyle change that I am ever-so greatful for.
You need to be stern with those who surround you or they won’t take you seriously. Just say “No, thank you. Been there and I’m good”. It might take a while but people will back off and if they can’t respect that, they aren’t worth being in your life.
Good luck hun, stay hot, healthy and happy.
We all wish you well.

Joey,
I admire your personal strength (literally and figuratively…ha). You seem to be such a genuine person and you have such ambition. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you from being who you are. I am proud of your self-realization. It takes a very brave person to actually look in the mirror and face your problems head on. My heart goes out to you, and I can’t wait for you live your dreams and be a positive role model for all who have, are, and will going through the same issues. Stay strong buddy… I want nothing but sunshine for you!
