Real World Austin - Week 2

The second episode of this season of the Real World allowed us to see more of what we can expect over the next four months. In last week’s episode, we got to see Danny go through the consequences of a fight. Apparently, the punch he received has led to a fracture next to his eye, and this will require surgery to repair. Surgery that appears to be occurring next week. He’s in a great deal of pain it seems, and the doctor did recommend he take it easy.

This means he is home alone when others plan to go out drinking again. Or does he end up not being alone? Last week, some small sparks began to fly between Danny and his housemate, Melinda. Every guy in the house gave her at least one or more looks. However, it is Danny that has caught her eye. Even with a man back at home waiting for her return, her attention seems to be all focused on Danny.

When he stays home because he’s in too much pain, it is she that stays home with him. The two end up sharing a bed, and a moment is interrupted when the rest of the house mates return from their night out.

A good part of the show deals with the job the cast will have to complete over the time the show takes place. They will be responsible for filming a documentary of a music and film festival that takes places in the area, South by Southwest. The festival took place back in March of this year.

After we learned the task the cast will have for this season, the show’s attention went back to Melinda and her issues with the man in her life back home. A discussion occurs over the phone, and Jason states he has written her off already, quickly ending the phone call.

    It's impossible to feel sorry for Melinda after getting stiff armed by her boyfriend since the moment the show started she has been flirting with Danny. I think she had planned from the start to ditch the boyfriend and hook up with somebody.

    That is definitely what it looks like to me too. She was all over Danny from the time they met.

    I hate when people go on the Real World talking about they have a boyfriend/girlfriend and then hooking up with someone in the house. If you know you'll be attracted to someone in the house break up with the boyfriend/girlfriend before you go on or at least take a break from each other.

    Does anyone know where you can find good pictures of Danny from the Real World Austin besides at MTV.com? I want to find pictures I can print of him. He is soooo cute. :)

    Hooking up has just become the standard for the show. I think it might even be a requirement, I just need to read a contract for the show to confirm.

    I'm not sure where there are other pictures, but if I see any I'll comment back again!

    I too think this is setting itself up to be one of the better seasons in recent years. We'll have to see.

    As for the hooking up, they usually don't happen this quickly, but I do think they are becoming a natural part of the show. Even on the challenges you see it more and more.

    Thanks Gina. I really wish I could find some good pictures of Danny to print out. I wish there was a way to find out his last name too so people could do a search and try to find pictures. Well, let me know if you find anything. Thanks again, and take care.

    I agree with Tasha. Danny is a hottie. lol. MTV has great pics. of danny and is letting people print them at the moment. There is also an unofficial site for the Real World Austin that has some good pics. Hope that helps and feel free to visit my site and sign the guestbook. http://www.xanga.com/GSUfan17

    Marina, thanks for telling what his last name is, ive been looking for it. And yeah mtv onair has really great pics of all the cast but i was only looking for danny b.c he is sooooo hott! i think danny deserves better then melinda, she is such a slut, but i found out after the show they got engaged and they are going to have their own newlyweds show on Mtv! In next weeks episode danny is going to find out his mom dies, its so sad, everything happens to him. Danny is soooo fineeeeeeeee!

    I can't bring myself to watch the show. I live in Austin and pretty much everyone I know here is with me in not being able to stand them. I am so glad they aren't here anymore!

    It's sad that Danny's mother died. I can't imagina how it would feel. All that greif... It makes me want to cry! Poor Danny. I saw the preveiws for the next episode-Melinda get's an E-mail from Danny saying that he might give up. Melinda was crying. That's proof enough that Melinda and Danny were made for eachother.

    Rest In Peace,
    Danny's Mother
