"Real World" gets little enough credit for launching TV's reality trend -- OK, it took the networks about 10 years to catch up with MTV, but at least they finally got the message that we viewers ENJOY watching real folk make huge fools of themselves on camera. "RW/San Diego" proves that there's life in the old show yet. This week, TWO, count 'em, TWO RW-ers were arrested on camera ON THE SAME NIGHT (which seems to be about four or five days into the residency of the seven stranded castaways, I mean, roommates). The Hooters girl from Tampa and the big-toothed Yankee boy both got thrown in the clink for being waaaaay too drunk to make any sense. The gal -- yes, the same one who used the N-word to Jacquese a couple of weeks back -- wailed on a dude in the bar, scratching up his face and neck. He called the fuzz and they nabbed her as she stumbled into the parking lot, wearing the same shit-eatin' grin I've seen on some of my college students when they're lyin' about where they were on the day the rest of the chumps were taking the mid-term.

What was funny was, the other drunky roomies stagger back to the mega-condo, where they wake up Jacquese and tell him that Yankee boy is in the slammer. They don't even realize that big-boobs has been cuffed and arrested. She calls at 4 a.m., crying and slurring, saying she thinks she's in Mexico! Gotta love that. So over the edge, she thinks she's over the border.

Tune in next week to find out if they make bail for her (set at 8 grand, for battery charges) and if Yankee boy can stay sober past breakfast. Also Cystic Fibro girl was pawing the OTHER white meat, I mean, guy, while THEY were both toasted.

I'm tellin' ya, Jacquese is the ONLY one of these seven with a lick of sense. Except maybe for the Asian girl, who gets about 1/8 second of airtime a week.

Way to go, "RW"!
