On the other hand, I was sort of looking forward to making a sport out of spotting/stalking/bedding/making fun of/scaring the young, nubile and most assuredly dumb Real Worlders. This is really the only type of "sport" I could ever hope to get excited about, so you can understand my disappointment.

The series' first foray into the outer boroughs might seem like a bold move on the network's part, an attempt to capture the ever-morphing youth culture and to document the blue collar grit of Brooklyn. But trust me, it ain't. For those of you not familiar with New York, DB is about as posh as -- if not posher than -- Soho was back when the show first debuted back in 1992. My theory is that MTV, like everyone else in our fine nation, is feeling the burn of the economic downturn and trying to cut some corners, expense-wise and got a good deal on the real estate. After all, the cast members' living space is reportedly the smallest (in square footage) in the history of the show. What will that mean for the fish tank I wonder? That's what a recession begets y'all. If things don't turn around soon, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Real World: Weehawken in seasons to come. Sexy.
