With only one day until the Real World finale, I'm preemptively mourning the loss of my fave Hollywood gang. And since I haven't enjoyed a RW season this much since Stephen bitch-slapped Irene back in Seattle, I figured I'd let you know what makes each of these castmates so damn special.
Sarah: Like Kim, Sarah's a woman of many words. And my favorite words from her all season are a tie between her rant over Nick's "Sorry, I Only Date Blondes" shirt and the infamous "Women are not hos" argument with Greg. Oh, Sarah. I'll miss your supreme self-righteousness and, of course, your over-the-top feminist rants.
Nick: Although late to arrive, Nick nevertheless made his mark early on by making out with "one of the regulars" and insisting that he sleep on a sex-free mattress. While I'm sorry we didn't have more time together, I'll forever associate Nick with his creepy reference to elementary school sex and will miss him for his last-minute entry into the exclusive "Three Amigos" club.
Brittini: Where has this tall, vivacious flirt been all my life? I've enjoyed watching Brittini slink around the house, making come-hither eyes at Will all while chirping "I have a boyfriend" at every on-camera opportunity. Brittini, I'll miss watching you go from totally-in-love with Jeremy to stop-holding-me-back-dammit in the span of a single week.
Greg: It goes without saying that I already miss the Chosen One. However, if I were to pinpoint just one thing to miss about Greg, it would have to be his eternal stoicism. What's that, Greg? Your dog just died? Your sister got engaged? Your mom just ran off and joined the circus? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! (Related side-note: I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it!)
Will: With his smooth one-liners, affinity for group sex and ability to cry on command, Will may well be the most memorable of the entire Real World: Hollywood cast. After a season of watching him chase tail, I'll miss his puppy-dog stares most of all. Finally, a genuine emotion from the self-proclaimed playboy! Or....is it?
Honorable Mentions: Reva and the rest of the "regulars," Sarah's dopey boyfriend Ryan, Bri's sexy-time partner HoHo, the girls from the foursome, Chandra and, of course, the anger management coach.
Anything I forgot? Check back and read the first installment of What I'll Miss Most From Real World: Hollywood and let me know what you'll be missing. And like Joni Mitchell once said, you don't know what you got till it's gone.
