The Real World: DC

 

by Matt Anaya

 

This week on The Real World: DC, Mike and his boyfriend Tanner experience life as a gay couple for the first time in their lives. Both Mike and his BF have fought their families on being gay in the past, and now as they try to come out together, their families are fighting back.

 

Earlier in the season, we saw Mike break the news to his family about Tanner, and they rejected it at first, like they had before, but realized Mike is still a very special person to them. He's got the biggest heart in the world, and Mike's parents and family realized they were only embarrassed and not supporting Mike for silly reasons. As much as Mike has worked to gain acceptance from his family, Tanner has met much resistance gaining the same acceptance from his.

 

Tanner came to visit in this episode and he and Mike clearly missed each other, as they made out every chance they could, which always makes for some fun reality TV. They toured the city, took pictures, held hands, and attended an equal rights rally. Mike is always up to something and is one of the few housemates to actually gain something meaningful from being on The Real World.

 

It was tough on Mike and Tanner when Tanner left to go back to Colorado, as both knew he would meet hell when he got home. A few days later, Tanner called Mike to let him know how his family reacted when he told them he loved Mike. His parents flipped out... Tanner's father said some hurtful things and threatened to take his car away. Mike feels horrible but both need to understand living as a homosexual will always be met with resistance by some.

 

Mike could only support Tanner through his struggles and told him to stay strong because he would be home in only a few short weeks. Mike is a total sweetheart.

 

While Mike dealt with his "real life problem," a few of the girls also dipped their feet in the community service pool as Callie, Ashley, and Emily attended a breast cancer awareness meeting. There has not been too much partying with this cast and I think some have a future other than appearing on Real World challenges.

 

Josh took Andrew and Ty to his cousin's wedding, and they met the real Josh. They saw where he came from, what his family is like, and they really enjoyed themselves, especially Ty, who kept hitting on Josh's smoking hot mom.

 

 

The Real World: DC airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on MTV.
