Summary: MUST BUY for the RW fan!
Review: All of you people who bought the video just for the nudity...well OF COURSE you aren't going to like it. BUT! For all of the TRUE and NORMAL Real World fans, this is a perfect video. It's short but well worth the money. I enjoyed it very much. I have people on a waiting list waiting to borrow it from me. BUY IT! 6 stars.

Summary: And Then There Were None
Review: Here they are, the Insufferable Seven in all their uncensored glory. And guess what? They're exactly the same uncensored as they are when their a**es are blurred and their obscenities are beeped.

It is kind of funny that these would-be exhibitionists--especially Teck, Kaia and Ruthie--didn't sign nudity releases, and so the scenes of them cavorting nude are still blurred out. How does Kaia expect to get a modeling contract if she doesn't show some T? Some A? From her riveting personality? And while on the nudity subject, it's more than a little disingenuous for Colin to eschew the girls' nudity when he's never got a shirt covering up his studly chest.

The only fun thing about this video is that Justin--that pretentious, cigarette-smoking, pseudo intellectual creep--gets sent up very effectively. The producers do have the last laugh on him. From his phony double talk to his failure to flush before he flees, he'd no doubt be mortified to see how he really comes across.

The video is organized "thematically," so there is a "bloopers" section (NOT funny), a nudity section (censored), a bodily functions section (Teck and Colin farting), and so on. There is no "narrative" to speak of, none of the stories are forwarded the way they were episodically in the regular season.

What would have been MUCH more interesting, if the producers wanted to really provide something that we couldn't get watching on TV, would have been a video showing the cast members' reactions to having their foibles broadcast on national television. None of what we watch on TRW is in real time, it all happened 5 months ago. I would have loved to see Amaya's embarrassment while witnessing her own ill-fated Colin obsessing. I'd love to see Kaia realizing she's not going to get a modeling contract. I'd love to see Matt cringe as he watches himself ministering to Ruthie's every alcoholic whim.

Soon, these people will (like Justin did before them) be dropping off the national radar screen, never to be heard from again. Rumor has it that Colin has been offered a TV pilot, and if the cute factor alone can get him a "showbiz" career, more power to him; one doubts it, though. He's old news.

Summary: If you want nudity, buy a Playboy video!
Review: Hmmmmm, what's with all the reviews stating they hate this video because there's no nudity in it? People (or, I suspect, *person*), 'uncensored' doesn't mean you're going to simply get full-frontal nudity and R-rated dialogue. (A quick view at any of the other 'The Real World You Never Saw" videos would tell you this.) But what it *is* is a great view *behind* the scenes of RWHawaii...of interest of course to the real Real World afficianados, but not titillating to those just simply aching for a peek at Amaya's or Ruthie's breasts.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Avoid this video! DON'T BUY!
Review: I concur with my fellow reviewers. This cover leads you on and lets you believe you'll be seeing uncensored picture of some of the Real World stars. Not so! All of the "erogenous zones" are blurred out and all the swearing is censored as well. So much for "Totally Uncensored"!

Summary: Do not buy this video!
Review: I don't know what MTV thinks "uncensored" means, but it sure isn't what my dictionary says! There are some funny and interesting behind the scenes spots, but the annoying BLEEPS over any nasty words and the mosaic over any nudity far outweighs anything positive about this tape. If anything, the footage teases with new footage but never comes through. I wasn't expecting any porn shots, but figured I'd see or hear something "uncensored". STAY AWAY!

Summary: Must rent, Must "Not" buy
Review: I found the out-takes of the cameramen and sound specialists' interesting. Since you never see how they interact with the cast, you do get a "behind the scenes feel" during this part. Some of these out-takes were funny. However the tape is not uncensored as it is marketed. All private parts are still hazed out. Guys and interested girls, there is one good photo shoot scene with Ruthie and Kaya. Even though the nakedness is not shown, it's worth seeing. The rest of the time they're interviewed about uninteresting topics like "who ate whos food" and bodily noises. Aside from some amusing confession room shots that never made it to TV, there is no new inside dirt at all if you've seen the episodes. All in all, it's a good rental to pass some time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: real is fun
Review: I like the real world. It is one of my favorite shows. I can't wait till next sesons so I can see the new faces. GOOD GOING!
