Shed a tear for Brooklyn

I went into tonight’s Real World: Brooklyn finale pretty bummed out. This season really surprised me. It was shorter than most, just 13 episodes, but I still feel like we got to know each of the housemates.

The final hour gave us the typical last-minute drama in the form of a prank gone horribly wrong, followed by the obligatory drawn-out goodbye. Ryan is, of course, headed to Iraq; J.D., Chet, Katelynn and Sarah are all going back home; and Scott, Baya and Devyn are moving into an apartment in the city.

I got through about 10 minutes of the reunion special before I decided I wouldn’t be able to stomach the rest. I love this show, but my love only reaches so far.

While I enjoyed the season — mostly because of the ensemble — there were three very noticeable problems:

  1. The drama wasn’t as consistent as it would have been if the housemates were required to work, or at least volunteer, together.
  2. The producers didn’t send them on vacation.
  3. And most importantly, no one in the house hooked up!

I’m assuming the lack of vacationing and hooking up will be remedied during the next season of The Real World, which is currently being filmed in Cancun. Until that guaranteed hot mess hits the airwaves, you can cope with your withdrawel by visiting Chet’s blog.

It’s funny… sometimes.
