Last Friday, Georgetown University hosted “Ask Obama Live: An MTV Interview with the President.”  Thirty Georgetown students, selected by MTV for their variety of backgrounds, interests, and political views, gathered in Healy Circle amidst the gazes of passersby to watch President Barack Obama address the issues that concern young voters in an interview with MTV’s Sway Calloway.

In the interview, President Obama answered questions put forth by the students that dealt with issues as diverse as LGBQT rights, the scarcity of jobs for new college graduates, gender inequality in the workplace, high college tuition, climate change, and economic recovery.

Usually considered a network that focuses its programming on pop culture, MTV also makes an effort to use their influence to engage young voters in politics.

“There are a lot of young people who watch the network [MTV]. I think its great that we can do things like this that reach out to young people and try to engage them. That’s important,” host Andrew Jenks said to the Voice. “I think that it is also up to us, to our generation, to get involved and engaged and to get our friends into voting, so it goes both ways.”

Last Thursday, Alejandro Gonzalez (SFS ’12) had an opportunity many of us can only dream of: To ask the President of the United States a question on national television.

Gonzalez was joined by Geoffrey Bible (SFS ’12), Nicole Tortoriello (COL ’12), and other Georgetown students in the audience for President Barack Obama’s town hall, which was broadcast live on the MTV, BET and CMT networks. [Disclosure: Bible is the Assistant Editor of Vox.]

Gonzalez, who described Obama as “very tall and quite funny” and “very candid,” asked the President about the DREAM Act, a piece of legislation that proposes a path to citizenship for illegal-immigrant minors.

Since Real World: DC ended, you may not be meeting your quota of watching over-privileged kids live extravagantly in the Nation’s Capital. Never fear, though, because MTV’s got another dose of the good stuff: Teen Cribs, Georgetown Edition.

Apparently MTV Cribs was so wildly popular that it has been resurrected in the form of Teen Cribs, where the camera follows teenage who, by sheer luck, were born into wildly decadent homes. Georgetown Metropolitan dug up a recent episode that features at a home right in our neighborhood—1633 29th Street, to be exact. Check it out around the 14:45 mark.

Sometimes, something ends and it reminds us all of life’s fleeting, impermanent nature. Last night, America felt its own mortality a little more keenly as we were forced to say good-bye to our seven favorite roommates and watch them all move on to bigger and better things. I don’t like to think about it. Not because it still brings tears to my eyes, but because it grosses me out to think that these people are out there somewhere, no longer quarantined in a mansion.

1) Mike (previously #2)

Mike hit the two extremes this week: on the one hand, he and his visiting father went to a Human Rights Campaign dinner with President Obama as the keynote speaker, and then marched on the Capitol for gay rights. On the other, the night before the HRC dinner he got massively drunk, started a flirty fist fight with a cute guy from the bar, and woke up the next morning with a hangover and a gash in his nose. Smooth.

Choice Quotation: “I’ve been convincing my dad that I am in D.C. and being serious and working for nonprofits, and now I’m going to show up at the door looking like I got gang raped.”

Moment of High Comedy: He realizes that he needs to drag his hungover self to an important dinner while in the confessional complaining about how it’s the worst morning of his life, and immediately begins screaming profanities.

2) Andrew (previously #4)

This week we learned it’s that if Andrew’s girlfriend really is as big of a fame-seeking gold digger as we thought, then she’s really, really bad at it. After realizing that the show was ending, she decided that she wanted to leave her life in D.C. and move back to Denver with Andrew, to his self-described “little Star Wars, X-Men fortress.” He was wary about the whole thing originally, but changes heart by the end, apparently realizing he’s never going to find a girl as hot as her once he’s no longer on TV.

Choice Quotation: “Spock would say she’s just illogical.”

Moment of High Comedy: When he tells Andrea he wants her to move in with him, he buys her a rabbit hat. If that’s not true love, I don’t know what is.

1) Josh (previously #8 )

At many points throughout the season (which will be over next week!), I’ve found myself wondering just what kind of environment could spawn someone as tool-y as Josh. This week, when we witnessed Josh’s cousin’s wedding, it came out that he actually has a pretty nice, loving family, and he’s the single, douchey anomaly. And there’s a performance by Wicked Liquid at the Rock and Roll Hotel, but I don’t think any of us really want to relive that.

Choice Quotation: “You’re clocking my mother!”

Moment of High Comedy: After his band goes offstage, there are chants of “One more song!” from the audience. But looking at shots of the crowd, it’s clearly just his overly-enthusiastic roommates.

2) Mike (previously #4)

This week, we learn more about the surprisingly non-dysfunctional relationship between Mike and his at-home (and, as a side note, really attractive) boyfriend Tanner. When Tanner comes for a short visit, he and his Real World boyfriend do everything couples in D.C. should do, and get a lot of on-screen make-out time. Almost makes you forget about Erik, the other guy Mike’s hooked up with this season.

Choice Quotation: “Come upstairs and meet everybody before we get naked in front of them.”

Moment of High Comedy: There’s a pretty unnecessary shot of the happy couple in the shower together.

1) Erika (previously #2)

The majority of the episode was devoted to Erika’s long, overdramatic, and incredibly irritating struggle over whether or not to stay in the house, but I wouldn’t have given her the top spot if it weren’t for her actual decision: in the end, she left! The housemates were openly happy about it (they claimed it was best for her, but they were pretty obviously getting sick of her), and the viewers were thrilled. I just feel bad for her poor boyfriend.

Choice Quotation: “D.C. is not the place to start a music career!” She uses this as reason for her to go back to Cleveland?

Moment of High Comedy: Her never-ending chain of complaints and drama is seemingly instigated by a night out at a bar, when she complains about how she has to pee and doesn’t want to wait in lines.

2) Andrew (previously #1)

Given all the horniness, the panda hats, and the completely ridiculous entertainment that Andrew has provided over the past twelve episodes, it’s no wonder we forgot about his offhanded comment in the first episode about wanting to be a cartoonist. He pursues that goal this week, and despite some initial rejection winds up with a published cartoon in the Washington Times. Plus, he gets a trip to the White House out of it, for which he unfortunately leaves the panda hat at home.

Choice Quotation: “Pressure doesn’t really motivate me. Sex motivates me. Candy, treats, these are motivational things. But yelling and mean words just make Andrew sad.”

Moment of High Comedy: When he gets a call from his boss at the Post, reminding him that his deadline was yesterday, he makes up a lie about the scanner not working and whips together a (surprisingly good) cartoon in record time.

1) Andrew (previously #1)

Yes, I know it’s the third week in a row. But Andrew got a girlfriend! And she’s hot! Sure, she’s a divorcee and former model who’s probably just using him to get on TV, but hey, at least she knows they’re dating. For him, that’s a step up. Plus, this means we viewers get a front-row seat to his terrible dating skills (they bond over having the same initials), awkward come-ons (“You taste so good!”), and weird ideas of love (“I want to stand on the top of a mountain, with trumpets playing, and flutes”).

Choice Quotation: “You cannot trust women. Aristotle once said, no one trusts a woman, not even a woman.”

Moment of High Comedy: On the first date, he brings up the two of them moving in together. She thinks he’s kidding. He isn’t.

2) Erika (previously tied for #7)

“Wah wah wah, I’m a failing musician and NPR won’t hire me and Callie gets to do something artsy and semi-succeed at it but rather than be happy for her I’m just going to whine and feel sorry for myself. Wah wah wah.” That’s all she says. Now you can fast-forward every time she speaks.

Choice Quotation: “Sometimes I just wanna lay in my bed and read a book the whole day.” Real Worlders can read!

Moment of High Comedy: The gang goes to a soccer game, and while everyone else cheers she sits down and complains about her failed music career.

1) Andrew (previously #1)

At the tail end of last episode, a very drunk Andrew was pushed off the house’s railing onto the pavement by a very, very drunk Ty. So given that this week began with him being taken to the emergency room in an ambulance (he got away with just a few bruises), Andrew’s display of hilarity—dare I say it, adorable hilarity—is all the more impressive.

The highest points of the episode come when he drunkenly uses his fall to hit on Emily, gets a visit from his carbon-copy younger brother William, and debuts a new hat, this one fashioned like the head of a moose.

Choice Quotation: “If I had twins I would circumcise one and not the other, and that’s how I’d tell them apart. I’d name them the exact same thing.”

Moment of High Comedy: He reveals that he used to be addicted to comic books, spending up to $80 per week on them, until his family and friends stepped in and said, “’Andrew, you need to get laid.’”

2) Emily (previously #3)

As Andrew’s roommate, Emily takes it upon herself to help the poor, inebriated weirdo the most after his fall, subjecting herself to his awkward drunken come-ons. (Upon gesturing to his crotch, he says “Here, I didn’t fall on this area. Touch this.”) But when she gets at odds with former flame Ty over his destructive drinking habits, she turns it into a power struggle that I’m sure will carry itself into the next season of Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

Choice Quotation: “You are a tool! You are a dick! You are a douchebag!”

Moment of High Comedy: When talking about Andrew’s fall and its aftermath, she never refers to him by his real name, instead only as “Panda.”

1) Andrew (previously #7)

Sound the alarms, release a cageful of white doves, and cue the Hallelujah Chorus: Andrew got laid! But better yet—Andrew got laid twice! After the first encounter, when he sat in the confessional doing an awkward thumb-shaking dance repeatedly singing “I got some booootay,” America smiled along as they watched their favorite awkward virgin finally become a man. But don’t worry, he’s still the same Andrew we’ve grown to know and love: he fails at trying to procure a second rendezvous with one of the lucky ladies, drunkenly makes a pass at Emily, and does it all while wearing his panda hat.

Choice Quotation: “I want to have sex with her. Again. Why else would you take a girl on a date?”

Moment of High Comedy: He reveals that the only relationships he’s ever been in are ones where he thought they were together and the girl said otherwise.

2) Josh (previously #2)

The problem with trying to describe Josh’s actions is that there are only so many ways you can call someone a douchebag. This week he sleeps with a girl he meets with Andrew, has his idiotic girlfriend over for a visit, and then the night after she leaves gets with Kelly Anne, the same older broad from a few weeks ago. Seriously, I’m embarrassed to live in a city where there are that many girls willing to hook up with this tool.

Choice Quotation: “James Bond’s got a license to kill, rock star’s got a license to be outrageous.”

Moment of High Comedy: His girlfriend calls when he’s in bed with hookup #1. Well-played, MTV.

1) Mike (previously #3)

This spot really shouldn’t go to Mike, but rather to Mike’s homosexuality. Between a visit from his family where he talks to them about his work on LGBT issues and a fight with his needy boyfriend from back home over whether their relationship is “open” or not, the only way MTV could’ve been less subtle is if it’d had someone stand in the corner of the screen holding up a big, rainbow “MIKE’S GAY” banner.

Choice Quotation: “If I were a dog my tail would be wagging right now.”

Moment of High Comedy: When he takes his younger brother out to a bar with the roommates, he has a DFMO with Callie. The encounter is quickly followed by confessional footage of virtually every other housemate commenting on how gay he is.

2) Josh (previously #8 )

After a lengthy reign at the dead bottom of this list, Josh stages a coup this week when he puts together a mediocre group of musicians, calls them “Wicked Liquid,” and crowns himself their lead singer. But after he wailed trite lyrics (a Shakespearean excerpt: “Come on, honey, just love me ri-ight/ Maybe we can go lay somewhere toni-ight”) into the microphone for a good chunk of the episode, I suddenly longed for the days I got to forget he existed.

Choice Quotation: “You take one look at me, and that’s about it. Like that’s all you need. That’s what got me into most of the bands back home, just the way I look.”

Moment of High Comedy: The contorted look of pain that he makes when he sings is an exact replica of the face the TV-viewers make when they hear him sing.
