Sometims I love certain seasons (namely RW Hawaii and New Orleans) and then other times, I&#8217;m completely indifferent (RW Chicago and RR The Quest). But right now, with the crazy cast of Las Vegas and the hilarious antics of the Battle of the Sexes, I have become obsessed again. I&#8217;ll even watch the ten million reruns that MTV shows of each episode. <i>*shakes head*<\/i> But what I&#8217;ve found to be really interesting after watching the new Battle of the Sexes episodes, is to read the recaps done by three cast members: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colinsworld.com\" target=\"_blank\">Colin from RW 8 Hawaii<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessmelissa.com\" target=\"_blank\">Melissa from RW 9 New Orleans<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everythinglori.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lori from RW 10 New York<\/a>. The 3 of them put up their recaps after a new episode airs on Monday nights. They shed a lot of light about the editing and stuff that happens behind the scenes. They&#8217;re all pretty interesting reads &#8212; like in Melissa&#8217;s blog, she mentions that Jon Murray (one of the creators) thanked her for the fight she had with Julie in the first episode. That&#8217;s just weird.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230; time for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fridayfive.org\" target=\"_blank\">Friday Five<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><b>What is one thing you don&#8217;t like about your body?<\/b> I&#8217;m too short. I&#8217;m like 5 ft. 2 in. or something. I hate it mostly because when I buy pants, I always have to have them hemmed. What a pain.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are two things you love about your body?<\/b> Uhhh, I don&#8217;t really love anything but I guess I <i>like<\/i> my smile and my arms.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are three things you want to change about your home?<\/b> Well first, I really dislike all the wires that we have running from the 4 computers to the hub that&#8217;s located in the living room. We tried to get them as close to the wall as possible but they still bother me. Secondly, I wish that we had another room so that Rob&#8217;s desk didn&#8217;t have to be in the corner of the living room. And lastly, I wish I had a bigger closet. I have too many clothes.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are four books you want to read this year?<\/b> Hmm&#8230; The Nanny Diaries, The Lovely Bones, A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring<\/p>\n<p><b>What are five promises you have kept to yourself?<\/b> I&#8217;ve been pretty good about cooking food at home as opposed to always going out to eat. I have decreased my clothes shopping considerably &#8212; but I think that might be due to the fact that I have no disposable income to use! I don&#8217;t procrastinate as much as I used to when it comes to cleaning my apartment. I&#8217;ve started to go through, clean and throw out the contents of various boxes that have been under my bed since I moved in a year ago. That&#8217;s only 4 but I can&#8217;t think of anything else&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ok, this is too long already&#8230; need to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some reason, I&#8217;ve become really into Real World and Road Rules again &#8212; my obsession goes through phases, I guess.
