Real World Recap: Swift’s Anatomy


They continue to yell a whole bunch.  It’s all useless.  I guess they decide to ignore each other?  Too tired of all of this to care anymore.

Latoya heads out and tells Marie that the conversation was ignorant, and she won’t talk to anyone who can’t talk to her in a calm manner.  Marie, bless her heart, changes the subject to the second-most worn out topic of the episode:  “Who touched the fish?”  Marie moves on to blaming Captain Needy, who was apparently drunk enough the night before to believe that he might have done it.  He is REALLY EXCITED about this possibility.

“OMG, I was finally a part of something and I don’t even REMEMBER?!  My journal is getting an earful tonight!”

Latoya appears to have interrupted one of Ginger and Marie’s cuddle sessions to discuss the situation.  Ginger brings up his theory about them both being prideful people, but Latoya points out that she swallowed her pride repeatedly throughout the day, from attempting to go to the hospital with him to literally offering to accept all of the blame.  To be fair, though, Ginger doesn’t know about that.  Latoya says she wouldn’t care if she didn’t have to live with him, and Ginger thinks that after more yelling, maybe they can agree to disagree. 

Dear Ginger, please don’t encourage the yelling.  Sincerely, Everyone

Out at da club, Swift’s foot hurts.  He insists it’s taking a lot out of him to swallow his pride, because he wants to avoid drama and not hold grudges.  Yeah Swift, you’ve been AWESOME at doing that today.  Swift and Latoya both confessional about being the bigger person, and that’s how we finish the episode.  O…kay, then.

Next week:  Boat captain Lee has a hot son, apparently, and Latoya loves him?  Intriguing!  Captain Needy’s anger issues… far, far less intriguing.

Gasmii, did we really just spend an ENTIRE episode on one prank, with an entire scene about health insurance?  It sure seems like that’s what just happened.  This season needs to pick up, and soon.  So, whose side were you on in the fight?  Do you think Marie will get away with her prank?  Do you think the guys will retaliate?  Would you have been able to sleep through dead fish smell?  What animal will RomCom cuddle with next?

    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.

    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??

    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.
