The Real World: Ultimate Hump list (50-41)

January 19th, 2006 · 6 Comments

(Editor’s note: At the urging of Jeffy I’ve added pictures, and links to the season for each cast member. So go ahead and check the older post out again, if you didn’t remember who some of those people were. Also, I changed Montana’s ranking, moving her down one spot to 57th, and I added some stuff to her entry. New evidence came to light; I’d forgotten how retarded she was on an older challenge. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused)

We’re back with the next installment of JeremyAbramson.com™ presents: The Real World, Ultimate Hump List. The ass end of this list is really the dregs, but hopefully we can power through it and get to the good stuff.

In case you missed the rules, and numbers 58-51, they’re right here.

50. Sharon Gitau, London (Season 4)
Now, by all accounts, Sharon was a total sweety, but apparently homegirl talks a bit much. A fact which if you couldn’t glean from watching her interact with her castmates, was revealed during that epic game of “SLAM” they played during their season. (The one that Jay didn’t play because he was too busy trying to figure out if the way his theatre teacher was touching him was appropriate or not). There really isn’t much to say here, much like the rest of the London season, easily considered the show’s most boring (it’s no coincidence that they started the “gimmicks” after the London cast — the business in Miami, working with kids in Boston, radio show in Seattle, etc etc).

49. Kameelah Phillips, Boston (Season 6)
Kameelah grew on me as her season progressed. She started out all millitant and obnoxious, but seemed to mellow out a bit. She went to Stanford, if I remember correctly, and there aint nothing sexier than a girl with brains. (Okay, so there is something sexier than a girl with brains — namely, Melina and her collection of slutty black clothing, but that’s neither here nor there). But her “list of things dudes have to do/be in order to qualify for the distinct honor of dating Kameelah” was a little weak. But all in all she seemed like a nice kid.

48. Aneesa Ferreira, Chicago (Season 11)
I can’t figure out if she loses points for being a lesbian or not. Regardless, I’m just not feeling her that much. Her whole “bathroom with the door open” routine during her season in Chicago was a little crazy, and if you subscribe to the theory of relationship transitivity (which states that if you date someone who has dated, or does date someone beneath your station, then that makes you and your rep look bad) then there’s no way I’d touch her. Did you see that crazy bald-headed lesbian she dated during her season? That makes me look bad just by watching it.

47. Rebecca Lord, Seattle (Season 7)
Most people would be surprised that she’s up this high on the list. But I just can’t stand her. First off, she seemed completely and utterly boring. I can’t remember one interesting thing she said or did during her show. I do remember, however, that freakin’ horrible track she cut with Sir Mix-a-Lot, of all people. Some BS thing called “Innocent”. I remember her roomies asking her if she wrote it, to which she replied “yeah! I wrote it…well, the words anyway”. Right. Innocent. Innocent of all these things. Thanks, Becky. Regardless of anything, there was just something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. Perhaps it was the complete absence of personality. I’m weird that way.

46. Pam Ling, San Fransisco (Season 3)
Nothing really wrong with Pam, I’m just not feelin’ it. Although I wonder if the “low-hanging fruit/arm’s length” corollary applies here as it pertains to her and Judd. I’m guessing it does.

45. Tami Roman (Tami Akbar), Los Angeles (Season 2)
“IT WASN’T, NOT, FUNNY!”. So other than having an absolutely horrid R+B group (oh “Reality”, where did you go? When is your VH1, “Behind The Music” coming out? And do you guys get royalties every time a “Gemini’s Twin” skit is on SNL?), going apeshit over what was nothing more than roomies playing around, and marrying a basketball player for his money, there isn’t anything wrong with Tami. Solid, all the way around.

44. Sarah Becker, Miami (Season 5)
Now, I’m not saying the folks at Bunim-Murray manage to capture the most accurate portrait of people’s personalities…but if you watched the Miami season, here’s the conclusion you’d come to as far as Sarah is concerned: Asexual. Completely immature. Tom boy. I forget who, but I remember there was a guy and a girl (Mike? Melissa?) wrestling in Sarah’s bed one time. She actually grabbed a stuffed bunny and said “Bunny, save me!” before throwing a look of utter disgust to the camera. But not the look of utter disgust you or I would give if, say, we walked in on Montana shaving her legs, naked in the shower. But the look of disgust an 8 year old would give you if you tried to explain how kissing works. Like she couldn’t believe a girl was that close to a boy. I mean, don’t boys have cooties?

43. Lindsay Brien, Seattle (Season 7)
It’s nice being around people with energy. Sometimes. I think this chick would drive me completely crazy, however. Also, the fact that her voice sounds like she gargles with a brillow pad might get old after awhile. Regardless, she doesn’t really take that much off the table. But she doesn’t bring much to it, either.

42. Ruthie Alcaide, Hawaii (Season 8)
Probably an unpopular pick here, but I just don’t really like her. The whole raging alcholic thing isn’t really a plus, and the fact that she seemingly has nothing better to do with her time than do these challenges isn’t really all that appealing either. Also, I don’t know if she’s a lesbian (she had a girlfriend during her season in Hawaii) or if she’s bi, but there’s just something about her personality that I don’t really find appealing. Besides, if you can’t beat Beth S. in the Gauntlet, you aint woman enough for me!

41. Joanna Rhodes, San Fransisco (Season 3)
What a douchebag. I mean, normally you reserve that term for dudes, but c’mon…can you think of a better term for her? First, during her season, she purges herself because she ate something that may or may not have meat in it, and has to say a prayer or something for the dead animal’s spirit. Now, I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans. I think the whole thing, personally, is a little inane, but hey, so is reality TV. You don’t want to eat meat, go right ahead and not eat meat. No biggie. But I don’t really get the whole beating yourself up if you accidentally eat meat. That’s why it’s called “accidentally”, right? And as for the animal’s spirit, well, whatever. Now, it’s not like we need any more evidence that Jo is crazy, but, um, there was that minor little detail of her flipping COMPLETELY OUT OF HER EFFIN’ MIND on the Gauntlet II. She really seems like a fun date: No meat during dinner, and there’s a chance she’ll slink away to the bathroom, bitch to her dad, require a police escort out of the restaurant, and then threaten to sue you and everyone you know. Sign me up for that!

So that’s it for this installment of JeremyAbramson.com™ presents: The Real World, Ultimate Hump List. Things are going to get interesting, as we’re getting rid of all the deadweight, into the actual humpable part of the list. Stay tuned!
