Are they all gay????

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 4:02 PM

So which one was born a dude?

Posted by: Prodigal_Son at January 7, 2009 4:12 PM

fourth person from the left, in black leather jacket looks like a drag queen.

Oh, Biff, I found your dominatrix!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 7, 2009 4:14 PM

LOLOL Prodigal Son.

That should be QOTD. I got a real kick out of that.

Having said that, I kinda like the one in the back with the green shirt and his fist in the air.

Shut it Dave...

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:15 PM

The scary part is that there is usually only one "gay" per season.

This photo makes it quite difficult to decipher which that could be.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:16 PM

11217-

In case you thought I was just being crass, one of the cast member ladies actually WAS born a dude.

Watch the show, you'll see...

Posted by: Prodigal_Son at January 7, 2009 4:17 PM

i hate them already and all the men (even the supposed straight ones) are afflicted with the malady of Gayface :(

*the one in purple on the left tho is pretty hot for a woman! id go straight for a day with her!*

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 7, 2009 4:18 PM

I actually did LOL, Prodigal Son, good one.

I'm glad my Netflix subscription is in good standing. This looks like a train wreck.

Posted by: Montrose Morris at January 7, 2009 4:18 PM

Oooh, oooh, can't wait.

No, on second thought I can wait. I really, really can. A very, very long time.

Posted by: BrooklynButler at January 7, 2009 4:20 PM

LOLOLOLOL!!!

Check out their bios. Love their names. Wondering how they let someone with the name Scott slip by. I'd have thought they'd make him change it to Stryker or something!

Posted by: TownhouseLady at January 7, 2009 4:20 PM

I absolutely LOL'ed also. I don't write it unless I do...

Not crass at all...thing is TWO of those "ladies" look they could be former dudes.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:21 PM

Is it true that someone in this cast dated Anderson Cooper?

Posted by: Amzi Hill at January 7, 2009 4:22 PM

even since the beginning they had a tendency to always pick people with stupid names. always the same. token minority, token gay, and 5 people with permanent lifetime passes to the free STD clinic.

it's so nice they made it 8 people this time and included a token tranny.

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 7, 2009 4:24 PM

"one of the cast member ladies actually WAS born a dude."

I picked it first...fourth one from the left.

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 7, 2009 4:26 PM

If one did it's got to be the "cute" one in the back with his fist in the air, JD. He's a gay, Latino, bartender, attracted to older men.

(yes Dave, you heard right)

Posted by: TownhouseLady at January 7, 2009 4:27 PM

rob, which girl on the left in the PURPLE? ummm you mean Blue? adjust yer monitor, boyfriend!

Posted by: bowl of dicks at January 7, 2009 4:27 PM

Anderson really gets around. Saw him with another latin guy about a year ago walking his dog.

No chance blue dress could be the former dude...?

I think I'm in love with JD.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:29 PM

THL i thought that gay guy in the back punching the air is a "dolphin trainer"? the all black clad is def def def the shemale. busty girl in blue could also pass as shemale but maybe it's just the pic.

Posted by: bowl of dicks at January 7, 2009 4:30 PM

Man...he is hot.

Really THL or are you just trying to get me all worked up????

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 4:32 PM

I just realized that although I've looked at the picture 10 times now, I JUST noticed the girl 3 in from the left with the gray and blue top.

She was totally invisible to me.

I think the chick in the b/w striped dress looks kinda fun.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:32 PM

"...JD is mature beyond his years, which might be why he finds himself attracted to older men. As a bartender at night, he has always worked hard to play hard, but when his overwhelming schedule gets to him, watch out for his fiery Latino temper."

Posted by: TownhouseLady at January 7, 2009 4:33 PM

I would be so embarrassed if I was gay.

Posted by: billyboomer at January 7, 2009 4:33 PM

I would drink JD's bathwater.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:33 PM

swear! check out his video:

"Despite his age, JD is mature beyond his years, which might be why he finds himself attracted to older men. As a bartender at night, he has always worked hard to play hard, but when his overwhelming schedule gets to him, watch out for his fiery Latino temper. "

AIIIYYYYYY CHIIIIHUAHHUUUAAAAAA

Who's your daddy???

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 4:35 PM

This might be the year the Real World gets canceled.

I had one of the gay "model wanna-be" dudes from a previous season apply for an apartment.

He's probably moved back to the Midwest or wherever he came from by now.

Posted by: IronBalls at January 7, 2009 4:35 PM

Real World Brooklyn (from Wikapedia)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=17415058

"J.D. is a gay man who ran away from an abusive home at thirteen, and now works as a dolphin trainer, a dream job he first envisioned in a trip to SeaWorld at age five. A high school competitive swimmer, and an alumnus of the University of Miami, he became one of the youngest dolphin trainers at Miami Seaquarium at nineteen. In the season premiere, he is initially the only castmate to whom Katelynn reveals her transgender status."

Posted by: bowl of dicks at January 7, 2009 4:38 PM

LOL Ironballs, was his Dan? he was a gay model wannabe, who actually did model. he went to rutgers where i went to college. he was such a tool-bag. there was another chick who was on real world hawaii who went to my school too, ruthie, the major MAJOR one with a severe drinking problem. when she came back to finish her last year she wound up in rehab or something then disappeared off the face of the earth, i dont think she even graduated.

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 7, 2009 4:39 PM

JD ran away from home @ 13 and is now looking for his daddy....(DIBS!)

Posted by: bowl of dicks at January 7, 2009 4:40 PM

after reading that wiki entry above, then seeing the poster's name who posted is was "bowl of dicks" i couldnt not laugh

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 7, 2009 4:41 PM

A dolphin trainer? I'm going home to kill my television.

Posted by: buttermilk channel at January 7, 2009 4:42 PM

ok the shemale is DEF the guy in the black jacket in the middle
oy - why are they "it" things to have on TV

first Tyra's American's Top Model now Real World...
weird

and what no black guys this time? - RW just sucks now
like it's always a given to have some white folks ALWAYS
demographics - I get it - yadda yadda yadda- but still!

Posted by: gemini10 at January 7, 2009 4:42 PM

I got a Brooklyn brownstone he can come over and crash in when the drama there gets to be too much. I can teach him about cornices, crowns, dentils, parlours, basements, cellars, etc, etc, etc. Give him a well-rounded Brooklyn education.

When does this show start??? Fox???

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 4:43 PM

I bet the pretty boy on the far right could be sexy with some facial hair and a motorcycle jacket.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:46 PM

OK...tonight 10:00...MTV

We'll all meet back here at 10:00 to dish...errr, I mean discuss.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 4:46 PM

He looks hot as hell with no shirt, in the pool, training those dolphins. If I were an older gay man I'd be all about that!

Posted by: TownhouseLady at January 7, 2009 4:46 PM

oh hells yeah gemini. Isis (the tranny from last top model) could kick this wannabe tranny's butt from red hook to the christopher street piers and back, fer sure!

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 7, 2009 4:46 PM

11217...you can have him. I want JD. Besides, aren't you on a short leash or was that Snark????

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 4:47 PM

I REALLY have to stop typing so fast
apologies for whole words missing from sentences

Thanks Rob for at least understanding what I was trying to say!

Posted by: gemini10 at January 7, 2009 4:49 PM

dave: this was all taped already. 4 of these attention whores now live in stuy-town in manhattan together. i mean... if they thought brooklyn sucked, i can't imagine how much they are going to think stuy-town sucks! (tho i guess the location isnt bad)

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 7, 2009 4:54 PM

That was Snark, Dave.

I might have to fight you for JD.

Posted by: 11217 at January 7, 2009 4:57 PM

No, I just looked up Dan online and it wasn't him.

I'd rather not name names anyways.

Posted by: IronBalls at January 7, 2009 4:59 PM

I could contribute to his graduate education fund. MD...Masters of Dolphin

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 7, 2009 5:00 PM

Grown men fawning over young play things. It's disgusting how you guys are Objectifying these baby faced pubescent males.
Keep it up, it's funny as hell!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 7, 2009 5:20 PM

This show is just so wrong. Trannies in Red Hook? What are they supposed to do, go to Ikea? They would have enjoyed themselves so much more in Jackson Heights.

Posted by: mopar at January 7, 2009 5:25 PM

ok, now i see why all these folks think bed/stuy is going to go through the roof during a depression. it WOULD only appeal to gay men, especially if/when crime spikes again. professionals with families would either have to resign to raising thug-lifers or be very loaded and pay for private school. now i get it. i knew about 'ol dibs (on the count of his former obnoxious spamming), but not the rest. you go, girlz (snaps). btw, i'm not homophobic. some of my friends are gay. but don't get your hopes up near-term on your hood.
and DIBS. quit while you're ahead. i am embarassed for you bro.

Posted by: jingle mail at January 7, 2009 5:30 PM

The scary thing is at least three of the other dudes look more feminine than the tranny. Put them in wigs and slap on some lipstick and you've got tomorrow night's Lucky Cheng wait staff.

"The scary thing is at least three of the other dudes look more feminine than the tranny. Put them in wigs and slap on some lipstick and you've got tomorrow night's Lucky Cheng wait staff."

And more feminine and probably hotter than some real woman.

Third woman from the right is kinda cute!

Posted by: bayridgegirl at January 7, 2009 5:36 PM

Ok, now I know if someone came out calling gay people dykes and faggots ya'll would be in an uproar - so could you please try to keep your transphobia to a verbal minimum? Shemale? C'mon people. Try not to be assholes for a minute.

Posted by: KHuebbe at January 7, 2009 5:41 PM

"*the one in purple on the left tho is pretty hot for a woman! id go straight for a day with her!*"

Huh? She's awwful! The wig is painfully obvious, and that outfit would make Mr. Blackwell roll over in his grave. How come there are NEVER any REALLY good-looking sisters on this show?

Posted by: East New York at January 7, 2009 5:55 PM

Watched part of this last night...they seemed more mature than what I was expecting. I've never watched this show before and don't even find it entertaining but it was fas better than the immature drama we see on most of the others. What was the worst one, Big brother?

jingle mail...what's with the pseudo ghetto talk? And who's talking about Bed Stuy here???? Do you work for the Post Office??? That might explain alot. I'm not your bro.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at January 8, 2009 7:59 AM

big brother is my second fav. show ever. im trying out for big brother 12 this summer! i missed this last night but i DVR'd it so ill watch it tonight. tho it's replaying tonight anyway, and probably 20 more times before the next episode.

and to the person bugging out about "transphobia". um sorry cutting your wee wee off and wearing tacky womens clothing is not something you are born with, THAT is most definitely a choice. therefore it's fair game. just like youre allowed to make fun of people with green mohawks if you so choose.

*rob*

Posted by: PitbullNYC at January 8, 2009 9:55 AM

Actually, it is something you're born with. A green mohawk is more of a choice than being transgengered, *rob*.

Posted by: KHuebbe at January 8, 2009 1:43 PM

Perhaps the young lady in the middle is attired in broad black-and-white stripes to indicate that she is a high-volume pedestrian crossing zone; it would appear so from her proximity to the gentlemen on either side of her. All that's missing is a "Yield" sign!
