Honoring 5 'Real World' Franks Of Yesteryear

Posted 10/4/11 4:42 pm EST by in Real World, Real World: San Diego, Top TV Shows

So, Frank's gonna be a ball of fun this season! At least, that's what we're expecting after seeing his gloriously unstable entrance on last week's "Real World: San Diego" premiere. In an hour, he managed to confront Nate on mildly erroneous grounds (relax, we said mildly), profess an unreciprocated attraction to his roommate, Alexandra, and close out a night of heavy partying by punching the wall and passing out on the floor. All in all, it was a great showing!

In honor of his dramatic debut, we've rounded up 5 other "Real World" casties that entered their respective houses and immediately "Franked out." Here they are:

Joey
"Real World: Hollywood"
This beefcake didn't really start to lose it until Episode 2, but even that was pretty early to "get his Frank on." After taking an in-house wrestling match too seriously, Joey lost his temper and aggressively slapped his roommate's hand when she tried to calm him down. Alcohol was a big trigger for him, and that eventually led to his early departure from the show.

Ryan
"Real World: New Orleans"
He rubbed everyone the wrong way by initiating a room swap almost immediately, but s*** hit the fan on the first night after a guy kissed his neck. Instead of handling it maturely, he wound up insulting an entire population of people, including his roommate Preston. Tension between those two only got worse after that.

Deena Gets Her Own Personalized Dictionary

Posted 10/4/11 12:18 pm EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Deena discovers the power of nerd glasses at her photo shoot.

We're not entirely sure what's going on here. This morning we discovered photos of Deena Nicole posing in a hot pink boa on a fuzzy red couch on a faux school set, but we can't make sense of it just yet.

We do know that the "Jersey Shore" castie was at a photo shoot for eGreetings to record a series of lines for StarGreetz, the company that produced Pauly D's wildly popular "Cabs Are Here" ringtone. If her audio recording is anything like that, we seriously hope she includes a few "merps" and "underwears."

We're particularly intrigued by the "Deena Nicole Dictionary" prop. Who wrote it, where did it come from and are the following words included?

Merp
-Noun. A vocal utterance that can be used to describe just about anything.
Example: That gorilla tried to dance with me, and I was like, "Merp."

Underwears
-Noun, Not Plural. An article of clothing that is sometimes worn on the body. It can also be found on the ground.
Example: I got ready so fast that I forgot to put my underwears on.

4 Videos Rob Dyrdek Missed On 'Ridiculousness' (Ep. 6)

Posted 10/3/11 10:30 pm EST by in Ridiculousness, Top TV Shows

There's no doubt that Rob Dyrdek has been working diligently to find some of the best amateur videos around the internets, but there were a few amusing clips that we think he overlooked during the latest episode of "Ridiculousness." We want to make sure that you don't miss a single bit of stupidity, so here are four more of the wildest happenings on the web (two are even fan-submitted!).

Death By Beetle
Warning: This video is really uncomfortable to watch, yet it does prove one thing: Size really doesn't matter in the game of survival.

Do Slinky's Have Magic Powers?
The short answer is no, but Physicist Rod Cross demonstrates that if you drop one, the bottom end floats in the air for a few milliseconds. Don't believe us? Then watch it happen in slow-mo. Pretty cool.

The Most Heartwarming Moments From 'Teen Mom'

Posted 10/3/11 6:57 pm EST by in Teen Mom, Top TV Shows

After trailing Maci, Farrah, Amber and Catelynn for three seasons of "Teen Mom" (and don't forget the first season of "16 and Pregnant"), we feel fairly connected to their struggles. We've watched as they delivered their children, fought with their families, tried to make ends meet...the list goes on.

With Part 2 of the"Teen Mom Finale Special" airing tomorrow night (10/9c), we decided to spend a little more time reflecting on the touching scenes from Season 3. Join us, as we relive five of the most heartwarming moments.

Catelynn's Brother Clings To Tyler
When Butch was sent back to prison, Catelynn's little brother Nick was totally distraught. He latched onto Tyler, who was completely used to coping with his father's absence. It was a sad sight to witness, but also moving to see the two bond.
Watch It:

Amber And Gary Decorate The Tree
The young mom underwent a lot this season--she and Gary weren't able to make their relationship work and she even spent some time in jail--but we couldn't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside when she visited Gary's house so they could decorate the Christmas tree as a family.
Watch It:

Catelynn Takes Tyler On A Surprise Ski Trip
Worried that their relationship was becoming dull, Catelynn arranged for her and Tyler to spend a romantic weekend at a B&B, where Tyler could finally learn to tackle the snow. It was just what the couple needed.

'I Used To Be Fat' Is Back! Check Out The New Trailer

Posted 10/3/11 5:14 pm EST by in I Used To Be Fat, Top TV Shows

If you didn't catch the first season of "I Used To Be Fat," then you're in for a real humbling experience because there's arguably nothing more inspiring than seeing courageous teenagers face their fears head-on. We finally got the trailer for the second installment of the series, and we can't wait to see these determined young adults regain control of their health.

The new batch of hopefuls will be given a chance to change their lives forever with the support of a personal trainer and strict diet. The journey is always difficult--overeating is often used as a coping mechanism--but the life-changing results are inevitably worth the pain.

Check out the trailer and be sure to join us on Oct. 11 at 10/9c, as we cheer on another group of hopeful teens pushing themselves beyond their wildest dreams.

Mike Masterminds A Plan To Expose The 'Jersey Shore' Snitch [Sneak Peek]

Posted 10/3/11 3:53 pm EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Mike has seriously taken his paranoia to another level. First he thought Jionni was out to get him, and now he's bent on exposing the so-called snitch in the "Jersey Shore" house. As it shows in the below sneak peek of Thursday's new episode, Sitch drums up a sneaky plan that will consequently expose the in-house gossipmonger. The undertaking involves telling a white lie to Ronnie while the other roommates can potentially overhear (and share the news), and then laughing over the successful deployment of his operation.

We're typically really good at following all variations of logic, but Mike's totally lost us with this one. Check out the video clip and see if you can understand his new strategy: 'Gym, Tan, Who's The Rat?' We get that he wants to know who's spreading rumors, but isn't the answer always everyone?

Deena Does The Jersey Turnpike Against Actor Ed Helms [Video]

Posted 10/3/11 10:31 am EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Deena gives Hollywood a taste of Jersey.

When given the opportunity to grind against actor Ed Helms, the answer should always be yes. At least, if you're Deena Nicole, and Jay Leno asks you demonstrate your interpretation of the bootylicious "Jersey Turnpike."

During "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," the "Jersey Shore" castie graced the stage to talk about the current season and to divulge details about being one-half of the infamous Team Meatball. Then, as if it were a common request, Jay asked her to give the audience a peek of her panty-dropping dance move, to which she agreed, as long as she could demo it against Ed Helms' crotch.

Check out Deena getting freaky with Ed. He's slightly startled by the bravado of her backside, but he hangs in there like a champ.

That's What You Said...About Jenna's Mom Writing The 'Carefrontation' Letter

Posted 9/30/11 6:19 pm EST by in Awkward, Top TV Shows

Every Friday we thumb through your comments from the most-talked-about post of the week and highlight each side of the argument. Check out the latest That's What You Said below and make sure to share your own opinion!

This week, one of the more comment-provoking stories on Remote Control focused on Jenna Hamilton's mother, Lacey. All season long we've been biting our nails trying to figure out who was behind the infamous "Carefrontation" letter, and on the finale of "Awkward," it came out that her own momsers wrote it! Well, maybe. A lot of you felt strongly about whether or not the implication was true--here's a sprinkling of what was posted on Remote Control and the "Awkward" Facebook page:

Remote Control:

"I assumed it was the mother. Hello, Jenna pronounces it CAREfrontation, not confrontation. That already gives you a hint it is someone who cares about her. It is either her friends, or the family." -- SerenityRose

"I really hope it wasn't her. I'm hoping that the paper was from a shop that supplies the same stationery to other people. Because the idea that either of her parents could've wrote the 'carefrontation' hurts too much." -- Samantha

MTV Twitter Roundup: Sam From 'Real World' Posts Sexy Prom Pic

Posted 9/30/11 5:41 pm EST by in Real World, Real World: San Diego, Top TV Shows

You know that face everyone gets when they see a photo of someone who used to look like a totally different person? Like, when they're shown a yearbook shot of a friend who was once 100 pounds heavier. Well, after meeting Sam from "Real World: San Diego," and checking out her unrecognizable prom photo today on Twitter, we totally just made that face.

If you caught Wednesday night's season premiere, then you know that the self-described "stud lesbian" is all about baseball hats and sneaks, and not one for bright orange gowns with sexy cutouts at the waist. All we can say right now is, "Damn, girl!"

We're not sure if Sam's roommates have spotted the pic just yet, but they were definitely busy on Twitter this week. Frank, who spent a majority of the first episode trapped inside his one-man pity party, addressed his strange behavior, and Ashley nearly used up all 140 of her allotted characters to come to his defense.

Trending: #Poor Snooki

Posted 9/30/11 1:41 pm EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

It was a sad sight to see when Snooki went to the bar alone on last night's "Jersey Shore." Distraught over Jionni's abandonment (and JWOWW's initial unwillingness to wake up and comfort her friend), she ventured off to a local watering hole to drown her sorrows, where she even gave fellow guzzlers a brief introductory lesson on the pains of a broken heart. A little piece of us a died at that moment--we hate when Snooki cries.

Apparently, so do a number of social media users, who took to Twitter to join in on the trend for the night, "Poor Snooki." It reminded us of the way fans felt when the other member of Team Meatball balled her eyes out a few weeks ago. Here's what some of you had to say:

"I can't believe Snooki was running after Jionni. Poor thing. If a man wants to leave you ladies, you help them pack!!" -- beautylogicblog
