MTV’s new Real World Hollywood is about as chalk full of drama as one expects from the show, or more so given the string of boring, un-entertaining seasons (Read: Sydney, Key West, San Diego). This season is bringing back the alcoholism of Hawaii, abuse of Seattle and sex scandals of Las Vegas, making for a discomforting yet somehow addicting show. To my amusement, I found out that the cast apparently lives in a “green” house, as Think MTV thought it a great plan to use RW as a platform for encouraging youth to adopt environmentally friendly lifestyles. Except I am pretty sure I’ve seen most the episodes so far and not once has the subject been mentioned…not once! I stumbled on this post on GRIST, though, and found the clips totally entertaining. Check out Rock Band in the background of the Think MTV people and classic lines from the southern ignorant blonde chick: we live in a “green house, not the color green, but energy-efficient green.” In the subsequent clips you get to see how a toilet and a bidet come together as one, how a stove can actually protect drunk chefs, and how loser brosefs can’t even listen to a hot girl talking because she is too hot in her “summer” dress…get excited!
It boggles my mind that they went to so much trouble to outfit the awesomely recycled I Love Lucy set with these amazing gadgets and crap and yet the producers don’t care to highlight it AT ALL. I get that trying to figure out the stove is not entertaining TV, but at least air the roommates saying idiotic shit to the camera about how fantastic a normal dishwasher is (it saves something like 20 gal of water compared to handwashing dishes, according to Summer). I dunno, it seems like a wasted platform to thousands of impressionable teens, but at least I know the wasteful disasters on the show are doing their part, whether they understand it or not…
