Fans of Real World get a lesson in eating disorders.

Paula is the character on the show that has an eating disorder but that’s not all. Paula is clearly a depressed person who shows signs of manic depression and a ridiculous amount of self esteem issues. She also clearly stated in her audition tape that she was “kind of bulimic”. The roommates notice that she is incredibly thin right away and the frat boy character John says that he thinks she would be pretty if she gained weight. This spirals into confrontation and ends in hyperventilation.
