Hitting Home

August 21, 2010

I’m a big Real World fan. Like huge. Have been watching since gawd, Seattle? Boston? San Francisco? Who knows. But this season is hitting home a little. For those of you who don’t follow the big “plot” (as much as you can have a plot in reality television) is Jemmye, a slightly trashy girl from [...]
