I find it rather amusing that they now have a Boston Guy in every season, knowing full well he'll get into a fight or two.
C.T. was from Boston, yes, but Brad (San Diego season's chief putz) was from Chicago, and Landon (Philadelphia season's nut-boy and jungle-fever victim) was
our boy. [Looks at other Wisconsin native Obners (Papertiger, Back_space, Fickerson (I suppose)).]
Further, with each season, the tough-guy casting gets fagghier and fagghier. C.T. was all brawn, bull-shit, and beat-downs. Subsequent seasons have introduced more and more introspection into the role, though. At this point, then, I am half-expecting a pegging scene involving Melanie and Danny. The only thing that doesn't make it a guarantee, for me, is that Melanie would probably react to the suggestion with an "oh, God, that's just gross".
A shame, really... Sort of.
As it is, to spice this season up, we need more focus on Johanna - the little I've seen of RW:16 (is that right?) seems to have indicated that she's a bit of a slut, probably with issues (could be good for a Cara from Chicago storyline; granted, Chicago was a horrible season in that it was way blah, but there was still a spark there (and, no, it was not Tonya's "kidney-stones" nor "on-again-off-again" with her boyfriend in Walla Walla, Wash.)) - and Lacey needs to play more to her muck-raking casting as the new Jacquese while Nehemiah has a Teck Money moment or five in him begging to be let out.
Johanna, Lacey, and Nehemiah - you can save this season. Do it.
Oh, and Rachel, or whatever the fuck is the name of the Iraq vet - you're boring. Go home. Go back to Baghdad. Die or something for all I care. You'll be cooler in death than life, 'cause then you'll be a tragedy, and not the bathos you are now.
