MTV Ejects Most Exciting, Charismatic 'Real World' Cast Member In Years [I Want My MTV Back]

MTV Ejects Most Exciting, Charismatic 'Real World' Cast Member In Years [I Want My MTV Back]
We've already admitted that the Real World series lost us more than a few years ago. We grew especially despondent after that Las Vegas: Reunion idea, and hardly noticed when the current Hollywood-set season began. Then one recent Lazy Sunday, we found ourselves flipping through the channels and spotting a young man named Greg. You see, Greg is Puck, Irene, Trisha and Coral all meshed into one handsome package. He steals panties. He cries in the confessional. He's violent. He doesn't clean up. His heart breaks. He punches walls. And last night, the producers decided to eject Greg from the current pack, claiming he hadn't been putting enough effort into his "job." But after taking a look back at the long list of past Real World ejections, we're dumbfounded as to why MTV has made a habit of kicking off some of the most charismatic, entertaining and (warning: cliché lies ahead) "real" people on the show. A clip of the brutal send-off from last night, plus a recap of the top three most erroneous ejections pre-Greg after the jump.

3. David, Real World Season 2: Los Angeles. After the show's engaging premiere in New York, MTV headed west and cast David Edwards, a comedian from D.C. who had a habit of lashing out at two of his female roommates, solidifying the reality show's trend of (unintentionally, we hope) planting the stereotypical "angry black man" in seasons to come. The eviction occurred after David decided to yank the blankets off his roommate Tami's bed after she insisted she was naked and said no. He thought it was "funny." She famously disagreed, saying that "It wasn't! Not! Funny!" And yes, it was wrong, but in the end, it was, indeed, funny.

2: Ruthie, Real World Season 8: Hawaii. Surely one of the most frightening string of episodes in RW history, Ruthie was the chronic alcoholic who passed out so many times in bars, eventually leading to her stomach being pumped and a whole bunch of sloppy naked "sobering" shower scenes, all of which were very entertaining. Plus, she was a cool chick. After she was filmed drunk driving away from a bar, the producers asked her to get help, she was allowed to return, though not nearly as fun to watch.

1. Puck, Real World Season 3: San Francisco. What would the Real World be in television history without Puck? Verbally abusive, homophobic, violent, sexist and hated by his roommates and America, he was intensely watchable. At the very least, the season did have Pedro's AIDS storyline to keep the show alive, but what the Puck? :
