Previously: Laura made the obligatory “not gonna hook up with a roommate” comment before instantly throwing herself at a roommate. Oh, and said roommate has a “girl back home” (anyone else sick of that phrase already?). Marie and the Ginge got their hardcore flirt on.
Currently: Marie and Ginger are playing pool. Trey and Rachel-McAdams-lite are strolling by the water. Toya and Swifty are play-fighting. And poor Captain Needy is left to sunbathe by his lonesome. McAdams-lite expresses some concern for the potential havoc the sun may be wreaking on Captain Needy’s vampire-like complexion, because what he really wants from her is to be treated like he’s her child.
Next we learn that Trey and his friends speak to each other in gibberish, even when they’re in public on their cell phones. McAdams-lite finds this adorable, and somehow it ends with him throwing sour straws at her.
“Food fights are foreplay, right? Let’s Lady and the Tramp one of those sour straws!”
Captain Needy, of all people, points out that McAdams-lite is walking around “like a sick little puppy begging for attention” and calls it pathetic. She literally chases Trey around the house, and while hopping from one bed to another their knees crash together. When he complains about the pain, McAdams-lite literally tries to kiss his knee better like a mommy whose son has a boo-boo. Trey eloquently dismisses this as “just a myth,” as if there is a wide adult population that actually thinks that works. With him around, who even needs the Mythbusters?
Ginger does a sweet backflip into the pool. Later, while trying to do a front flip onto Marie’s bed, he managed to give himself a bloody face. I can’t even tell where the blood is coming from exactly, but it’s definitely somewhere on his face. He’s relieved to find all of his teeth intact, and informs us that his face got into a fight with his knee and he lost. Yes, Ginger, but look on the bright side: you also won! Fighting with yourself is a surefire win/lose situation. Although we know from the previews that this will not be your only fight with yourself this season.
Ginger actually thought he was fighting Brad Pitt, but he’s not allowed to talk about it.
The next morning, Marie finds an apology letter from Ginger promising to pay for the damage and declaring that he did, in fact, nail the flip. She loves it, and so does McAdams-lite (of course). Hope Trey’s practicing his note-writing skillz.
Latoya and Marie have apparently already made friends with Lee, their personal boat driver… or whatever he’s actually called. They head into town for some shopping, and return with brightly colored cowboy hats. Upon returning, they check on Ginger and find that his lip (which appears to be the source of his facial bleeding) is pretty nasty. Apparently he was still sleeping. He must sleep really late because mere seconds later, it’s time to head out for the night.
Trey stays home by himself, while McAdams-lite surprisingly goes out with the rest of the roomies. Rest assured, she vows to Latoya that she will be crawling into Trey’s bed later. When the “girl back home” (heretofore referred to as “GBH,” because they say that shit a lot and I’m already sick of typing it) is brought up, Laura just says that she’s trying to “keep her distance at times and take things slow.” Evidently what we’ve been seeing is her keeping her distance and taking things slow. (SlowLY, by the way.)
Trey, of course, uses this time to call up the ol’ GBH.
And spend some quality time with Big Shirley, naturally.
He asks if she’s mad at him and says that he feels distant, both literally and figuratively. He says he doesn’t think being down there is cheating since they don’t have any titles, but brings up McAdams-lite and says she does most of the flirting. I suppose he’s aware of the fact that this will be aired on television, so he might as well get it out of the way now. Maybe Chelsea has DirecTV, and she’ll never see this anyway! Neither Chelsea nor Trey knows what to say, so we take a commercial break.

So I started reading this recap on my phone when it arrived in my email, and for some reason my cursory glance at the title led me to think that it was a True Blood recap (I just got up,) and about three paragraphs in I was more confused than any human being has ever, ever been. But then I realized that it was for Real World, and everything made sense again. I shall now finish reading it, comforted that I have not, in fact, completely lost my mind. After all, I never applied to be on an MTV reality show.
I did like the scene with Marie and Latoya. That was fun.
why go out in a rain storm like that? I would have sat in the house to play beer pong or something.
Ginger is SCARY!!! Why break your face AND the phone? Just choose one, preferably your face b/c everyone has to use the phone.
VA- You took the words right out of my mouth about the Laura/Trey dancing in the middle of the street scene. I was like, does she think she’s in the Notebook right now?! She is too much for me. There’s no way she’s not mortified by watching these episodes, right?
I like the cast overall so far but I think the location is a HUGE flaw for the show. There’s no way for them to interact with anyone unless they take a boat ride off their island?! That just seems ridiculous and I think even as fun/entertaining as they are for the most part, the location is killing this season. I hope they set them up with a job or something to do!
My husband had the same comment about Swift when he finally got his 5 seconds this episode!
And I’m really wondering if we’ll ever really see much of Brandon again now that the initial drama is out. He really is the outcast in the worst way possible, unfortunately for him.
Thanks for the speedy recap!
According to wikipedia, the most trustworthy resource I know of, Marie is 23 and the Ginge is 21. Yep, you’re totally robbing the cradle there, sweetheart.
This season is already wearing on me. Trey and Laura are annoying me way too much. If the rest of the season is like this I doubt I’ll make it half way. At least with Vegas there was the gay porn bomb in the air. This season? It’s Robb punching himself. Not very exciting.
I guess I’m a little older than you guys, that or it’s b/c I’ve never seen the Notebook but I though McA-Lite was dressed like Julia Roberts when she has the hooker outfit on in Pretty Woman.
And what was with the 80′s style music interlude/video of Marie & Toya. I think even the editors are bored.
The location blows totally. I started over thinking things again and was like, maybe they are trying to make them get all Darwin-esque and see who is the most ‘fit’. With 4 guys competing for Alpha male on an isolated island, then I remembered they just made a bad decision.
STill on the first page…but I had to watch this online because I have DirectTv. Just don’t know who to hate right now, Viacom or DirectTv.
Okay. I’m admitting it. I’m a chick and I’ve never seen The Notebook.
I also love the LaToya/Marie relationship. LaToya continues to be my fav. Love her “commercial” for the chicken fingers and ranch.
I really hope Mc Light freaks out. She’s so nice it’s kind of gross. I want her to get blackout drunk and break some shit.
Gyp – was that the self punching you were referring to or does it happen again? Perhaps with a brick wall?
Yep, that’s what I was talking about from the season opener. Ginge has mad issues, literally.
And I can’t lie I am glad I am not alone in not seeing Le Cheesebook.
Nope I’ve never seen The Notebook either(can’t get into chick flicks). I really like the Marie/Toya friendship I hope it lasts. To me it appears that the best relationship that could happen in the house is Ginger and Marie, and the worse would be Trey and RomCom. RomCom is wayyyyyy too clingy and she should know that that will push anyone away(unless they are into that). This episode I felt a twinge of sadness for Captain Needy everyone has a snuggle buddy except him
. Is it me or is Swifty getting shorter each episode?
Never seen the Notebook either although my sister claims I am too emotionally unstable to watch it.
Question: How could you slam yourself so hard in the face with a phone reciever that pieces are sent flying but upon roomies returning home (in what I assume to be) a short while later not a mark on your creamy alabaster skin?? I claim prop phone just like the whiskey bottles they break over people’s heads in Westerns.
Remember Trey could be bangin da Ho’s if HE wanted too ya dumb bitches!
Phone prop? *Snorts laughing*
Trey is official a chief in my book.
Initially I WAS on Ginger’s side when he found out that token GBH had sex with someone else because she “thought” he was. Can you imagine what we could all get away with if that were a legitimate justification for our actions? “I’m sorry I was driving drunk, officer, but I thought maybe you were too!” Please. Homegirl dramatically claims she’s “broken” and can’t imagine touching anyone else but him only to immediately turn around and…..touch someone else. There are phrases for those kinds of girls, and they are “batshit crazy” and “not to be trusted”. And then Ginger had to turn around and perform an action that terrified me to my very core and I thought, “Well……guess they deserve eachother.”
I hate to say this, but I actuall *gasp* liked Captain Needy this episode. He’s kind of funny when he only has a few self-deprecating lines. I feel kinda bad for him too. On a normal real world it wouldn’t be so bad being the only one not hooking up with a roommate, but they are on their own freaking island. He must be so bored all day while the couples are all hanging out.
Laura is quite possibly the most annoying person ever. How pathetic must she feel watching this on TV now and hearing Trey admit she liked him wayyyyy more than he liked her. She just acts so desperate its painful to watch.
Toya is still awesome. I agree, I want to see more of her and Swift. Of c ourse from the previews it looks like we’ll see lots of them next week when Swifty somehow seriously hurts himself during a prank war.
Laura picking Trey’s whiteheads and grooming his back might be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Get a grip woman, get some self respect. She might be the most annoying person ever.
Im just here to see if any of the real world faithful know the song playing while Trey and Laura are having the awkward morning after bed situation in episode 3. It’s just a beat but I cant get it out of my head and it isn’t on any of the songfinders for the episode online. Any help would be very much appreciated…
