Hey, remember how Swift decided that he didn’t need his wallet for a trip to the doctor? Now we get to learn all about his health insurance! Apparently he’s supposed to pay out of pocket and get reimbursed by his insurance company, but he didn’t bring any money. (And I guess the other two didn’t, either?) After some more exciting insurance talk, it seems Swift will come back and pay them on Friday. This has been Who Said The Real World Can’t be Topical Anymore?: Obamacare Edition.
Swift then moves on to drunkenly hitting on the women who work in the office, until Marie drags him away to go home. To give you an idea of his flirting skills, his response upon hearing one of them is single: “Why?” As if that’s not just plain insulting. “Because I want to be,” is her perfectly logical answer.
On the boat ride home, Swift slurs and babbles about how much fun he’s having in spite of his injury, and how happy he is to have grown closer to Ginger and especially Marie. Once again, everything he says is an attempt to piss off Latoya.
Glad you’re having fun, Swifty. That makes one of us.
Marie switches topics to the still-unsolved mystery of who put the fish in their tub in the first place, and Swift admits he’s way too confused about that. Back at the house, he slurs at Captain Needy for a bit and asks Marie for another drink. Personally, I’d stop drinking so I could start taking pain meds, but to each his own I suppose. Ginger and Marie record a confessional on the computer in which Marie continues to play innocent and blame RomCom.
Speak of the devil, she is quite literally doing cartwheels around Trey as he plays some mini golf outside. So, no changes there. Their screen time in this episode is mercifully brief, even if it does mean watching Swift and Latoya have the same fight 243095 times.
Speak of THOSE devils, Swift comes over to kick poor Captain Needy out of Latoya’s bed mid-conversation so he can chat with her. Latoya basically throws herself on the sword, taking full responsibility and offering to pay his medical bills. She says she was unaware of the seriousness of the situation because she got upset and walked away like most rational people would. She insists that she would have stopped if she realized what was going on.
I’ve been on Latoya’s side pretty much since all this shit started, but I was willing to give Swift time to cool off. We’re past that point now, as he takes everything she just said and continues to be a total dick. He condescendingly asks how old she is, as if that is in any way relevant.
How old are YOU, princess? Are you getting lightheaded up there on your high horse?
Latoya finally asks him why he put himself in the situation by running up and jumping in the water. THANK YOU. They continue yelling at each other as the other roomies look mildly perturbed to have their sunbathing interrupted by this nonsense. Ginger wonders aloud where the argument is going and decides they both have too much pride for it to end anytime soon.

From browsing both Latoya and Swift’s twitter timelines the fight is STILL going on. He also did an after show ustream where he said Latoya wasn’t pretty and was a loud mouth while he sat between the legs of various girls sitting behind him (seems he’s trying to push that player image). My initial annoyance with this guy has matured into dislike but we’ll see how the rest of the season goes
I love this season. They are so much fun. I liked Vegas as well. But I can’t even remember the location of the last season. They were a bore.
Come on, no one notices Marie slip effortlessly from adamantly blaming RomCom to insisting she saw and remembers Captain Needy being the culprit? NO ONE? They’re making this way too easy for her.
squeals@the shoutout! Thank you@JudgyWudgy, she point blank blamed RomCom and no one remembered. Marie says ‘oh yea we know it was you…we even encouraged you’, the hell???? The foot thing only got confusing when Swift blamed LaToya, I sat here looking at the screen saying out loud “how is this her fault’? I have never seen a more irrational person than Swift, LaToya took all of the blame that she had NO business taking.
Thankfully we were only limited to 2 and a half(baby talking Swift) moments of every spinster in Americas’ genre of film. She is so exhausting how could anyone be in a relationship with this girl? Mooshymooshy talk to an iguana(ew)… it was understandable with that little lizard(ew) she found the first day.
I like Ginger and Marie(she’s a crafty one) they are cute together. When Captian Needy isn’t being…needy he’s an OK guy, did you catch him asking Swift what kind of drugs he was prescribed? I hope Swift lied when he said it was only over the counter meds ONLY to give him a redeeming moment this episode.
I just caught up, I can barely pay attention. I really wish they were on the bigger island. TY as always VA!
Did anyone else get the impression that Latoya’s mom was making the situation worse than it really was. There was something in her tone that was off. Also, Latoya and Swift were both acting like little kids with huge egos. It was Swift’s fault but Latoya was acting like it was actually her fault but she didn’t want to own up to it. If Latoya hadn’t walked away and just helped Swift it would have been over in 5 minutes.
Swift is a tiny man. Standing next to Ginger he looked like a 6 year old.
A great ending to this episode would have been if the roommates had gone out for dinner and they had ordered sea urchin.
1) I am firmly team LaToya…she didn’t do anything wrong! She didn’t start the prank, she didn’t make Swift jump in the water on the sea urchins, she even went to the doctor with him and offered to pay for it! The only mistake she made was trying to reason with a drunk person…that never ends well! She should have waited until after he slept it off.
2) So glad to have an almost RomCom free episode!
Deep question
How does an Iguana end up on an island? Was it born there? OR Did Farrah purchase it at the St. Thomas Petsmart and then after Sophia painted it with nail polish decide it was too much for her and just carelessly release it??
I think they can swing @considerthis.

Thx Gypsy – good 2 know
I mean swim! Oh lord my typos! *facepalm*
Thankfully you corrected your self b/c I was going to be very concerned if iguanas were swinging around.
Or, if they themselves were swingers.
Holy shit, I can be a hot typo mess, LMAO
Personally, I prefer swinging Iguanas!
This episode fucking sucked. Thank you for making the recap sooooo much better than the actual show, VA. There’s usually one or two a season, and this is only the third episode!!!
If my foot was hurting, I would let any of my roommates pee on it. I would let the boat guy pee on it. Anything to stop the pain. I agree, too much Swift this episode. It was probably because he was drunk but still…awful.
I don’t like RomCom.
Team LaToya, I guess. But I’m biased because she’s my fav
I’m ready for a Captain melt down!!!!
The location SUCKS. I think this cast would have so much more potential in a big city. The kids have a “curfew” for production reasons and had to be back before the party even begins in Island Time. Not sure the logistics were really thought out that well.
At least in Vegas- despite the curfew, the kids got to stay out later as long as they were in the casino that was in there hotel…so basically they could hang out all night.
Also, way easier to bring potential hookups home when all you have to do is take the elevator up to the room.
This location is stifling them. Totally sucks balls.
I did think it was highlarious when Marie convinced Captain that he was the one who pulled the prank.
@ Captain
I think ‘the Swinging Iguana’ would also make a great name for a bar.
@VunterSlaush… I would definitely hang out at that bar. I wonder what sort of specialty drink The Swinging Iguana would have…
Marie is the biggest bitch. She treats ginger and the whole House like shit. And no wonder ginger is so sctewed up. She messes with his head and basiclly tells him he is not a man about anythin and in her words thats ” not a good look”. Whats not a goodlook is her she looks about 50 with all that drinking she is rude and feeds off other peoples problems and if I was New Jersey I would be embaressed to be from the same place. She was born without sesitivity and compassion gene and its sad how she treats other people espesially ginger. The only genes she was born with is the ME ME ME gene. So Sad!
She’s from Staten Island.
I’m super confused by people who choose to hate Marie when they have the option of Trey and/or Laura. Yeah, her personality is an acquired taste but I by far find her to be the lesser of all evils.
