Answer 1

i freakin love the real world! I don't like Mckenzie. She seems too conservative and boring. She looks like a total fake btch though! Eric is absolutely beautiful. And sweet. I hate Ryan. He is annoying and likes to instigate. He looves drama. I'm curious to see what's in store for him later in the season. I like Ashlee. I don't know much about her but she has some sexy lips! lol! Sahar is GORGEOUS, but I think she lead Eric on and is playing Pablo. You can't just tell a guy you love him then say oh we can't be together. I'm keeping my eyes on her. Preston is so cool and chill. I love him. I can't believe he likes Ryan though! I DON'T LIKE KNIGHT. Jemmye seems fun. I like her. She better not lose her "white boy virginity'' to Knight though!!
