MTVs The Real World: “The Baya & Chet Show, starring JD”
Show numero dos and today's episode [1] is “The Baya & Chet Show, starring
JD.”
Let's see … we have Baya [2] nervous about an audition for a hiphop dance
troop, dance at the audition, leave disappointed and yet, when she finds out
she made the cut—turns it down. During the audition it was clear that she
wasn't quite ready for what it takes for hiphop dancing (Bunny remarked that
Baya was in “the real world” only afterwards did she realize that Baya hit
the real world on “The Real World”—it was cute). JD [3] later introduces her
to a well known dance instructor he knows so she can continue to become the
dancer she wants to become.
And Chet [4]. In private correspondance, Katelynn [5] assured me that yes,
Chet is indeed straight. Despite the tight purple clothes and eyeliner, he's
all man. I'm just going to have to accept that, since Katelynn knows him more
than I do, but he just pegs my gaydar [6].
Anyway, his Mom and three or four sisters (lost count) all show up to visit
him. His Mom is supportive of him, loves JD (and asks him to watch out for
her son) but hates the eyeliner. As Bunny said: “Look at all the women he
grew up with—no wonder he's the way he is!”
JD is quite racist when drunk, which Chet didn't care for. JD may also be a
mean drunk, but fortunately things didn't get that bad. Yet. We'll see.
Ryan [7] is still coming across as a complete jerk, first by pranking JD,
then getting very upset when kissed on the lips by a transvestite at a gay
bar (what was he expecting?). He's not coming across as very likeable.
There wasn't much about Katelynn this week. She, Sarah [8] and Baya attended
an African Dance class and well … Katelynn wasn't very graceful (sorry
Katelynn, but Bunny observed that the way men's shoulders are developed it's
very hard to perform a particular arm movement used in that type of dancing).
Katelynn said as much, so it's not like I'm saying anything she doesn't know
already.
Not much characterization for the rest of the cast, but I'm sure their time
will come soon enough.
Some predictions: Devyn [9] (of the large … tracts of land) and Scott [10]
(of the 2% body fat and six-pack abs to die for) become an item; Baya and
Ryan become an item.
