Laura’s next move is to accuse Trey of watching her sleep and then ask about his phone chat.  He tells her about Chelsea, but a little thing like that isn’t going to stop the freight train that is Laura’s seduction of Trey.

At some point there was chatter about dressing Trey up like a woman, and it seems that time has come.  He gets a bra, leggings, a skirt, hair extensions, a hat, very sparkly blush, and a shitton of eye shadow, but he draws a sudden and very strict line at lipstick.  Latoya declares his name to be “Big Shirley.” 

The girls interview Big Shirley.  She’s from North Dakota, likes a guy who can cook shrimp scampi and “pour” a bubble bath, and her signature dance involves hip swaying and booty popping.  Just for the record, Latoya + Trey = fun.  I wish they would spend more time together.

Out at the bar, everyone is having a great time.  Even Laura seems to be talking to another guy!  RedRobb and Marie both meet new people.  RedRobb gets a kiss from his girl, who’s a bartender there, but Marie gets her (adorable) guy all the way back to the island.

This girl knows what she’s doing.

As Marie shows Max around the house, Laura and Trey grab their respective sidekicks to discuss their relationship, as you do.  Trey doesn’t want her to stop coming on to him, just to slow it down a bit.  Laura is “never a jealous person,” (always with the famous last words, this one), but is somehow very jealous over this person she’s known for three days and his thinly defined “girl back home.”

Max asks where he should sleep (seriously, this kid is adorable), and Marie of course offers her bed.  Well, she doesn’t so much “offer” as “insist.”  However, all we see is one short, grainy night vision kiss, so who knows what actually happened.  The next morning, she puts him on a nice early boat so she can start bragging about how much game she has.  And in case I didn’t mention it enough, the guy was cute and actually seemed nice, so good for her.

And we’re right back out at a club, this time in celebration of B.Swifty’s birthday.  Laura and Trey are back to being joined at the hip, of course, but at one point he awesomely slips her the cheek when she tries to kiss him.  She’s frustrated that the guy she’s known for three days will only make out with her some of the time.

“No fair!  This never happens to Zooey Deschanel!”

Miraculously, even Brandon is once again having fun.  Can’t wait to see how it all goes to shit this time.  He runs into the same girl as the night before, and proceeds to bumpngrind and whatnot.  His master plan is to bring her home and bang her so the other guys know he’s the best in the house, but he can’t say any of that without sounding horrifyingly awkward.  Also, she could not look less interested in banging him. 

Trey and Swift pull Brandon aside to make sure he knows that she’s kinda shady.  Naturally, Brandon is insulted that they think he can’t get a hot girl and claims not to care.  Latoya tells Swift to let it be, which is easy for her to say because she’s not the one he’ll be running to later.  Brandon tries, and unsurprisingly fails, to get the largely uninterested girl to go home with him. 

On the boat ride home, Brandon is insulted that the guys felt the need to approach him to point out that he can’t get a hot girl’s attention unless she’s playing him.  Swift points out that Brandon made his excessive levels of sensitivity well known as soon as they moved in.  Brandon declares himself black-hearted and soulless (seriously, he actually says these things) and says that if one of the other guys was going to bring her home, no one would have said anything.

“No dude, none of us would have even tried, because she was clearly a bitch.  And if we did, we would have handled the rejection without crumbling to bits.”

    Max was HOT with a capital H! It’s not just you :)

    So, am I the only one who thought the exchanges with that Alyssa chick were really strange? My first thought when they got came up to Brandon and warned him not to touch her if she wasn’t his girlfriend was that she was some sort of prostitute trying to run a scam on him. She was wayyyyyyyy to hot to actually be interested in him. There’s only two reasons she’d let him put his hands all over her like that…she’s a hooker or she’s an MTV groupie looking for screen time. Hmmm, guess those two reasons after that different after all :p

    Laura has got to stop it with the babytalk. Maybe it’s a result of her being a “late bloomer” as she likes to say, but she flirts like a middle schooler! Next she’ll start pulling Big Shirley’s pigtails in the schoolyard :p

    And, I LOVE Marie and RedRobb together. They need to give up the pretense of wanting other people and just do it!

    Oh and Laura needs to take a hint. If you are straddling a guy and “massaging” his lower abs and he DOESN’T have a giant boner, he is clearly just not that into you.

    I really like this season of RW so far. Totally over Trey and Laura. Well, maybe just the Laura part. She seems so desperate for Trey to like her. I’m like honey, look around. You’re on an isalnd with what seems like an unlimited booze supply. Live. It. Up.

    LaToya is funny. She seems like a lot of fun, but maybe a smidge less fun than Chelsea Handler, I mean Marie. I agree ,VA, 2 more shows until RedRobb gets his P in Marie’s V. Those two are totally simmering, but not boiling yet.

    I figured it out, Marie reminds me of the main girl (Brooke/Cody Horn) from Magic Mike.

    Brandon’s cover for why that stuff was written in his journal is such bulls***. If that was really a journal for personal private stuff, he would have gone off the handle at his roommates. But nope, he had that lame excuse of ‘going to a dark place’.

    These people are not that smart. There is a reason the producers gave you a ton of peanut butter, you can’t buy it down there. So what do they do, waste a couple of jars by dumping it on a roommate. Do you think MTV is going to spring for a house cleaner this season or is it going to get really bad and we will see all the tropical bugs take over?

    @jerseyj – I totally agree with all your comments about Alyssa. It was clear that she was a camera whore.

    Also, I have to say as nice as the vacation spot Real Worlds are, they get dull really quickly. There are only so many things that they can do and places they can go to drink. There aren’t that many clubs. bars, etc. When it is set in a larger city there is more to do and more interaction with outside people. Are they going to have to have jobs this time around?

    I posted on another site that Laura needs to get some self respect. I don’t know how many different ways Trey can show that he is not into you like that. I love how after his speech calling her annoying and smothering she gets up and hugs him from behind. Like Bitch are you deaf. He wants to be left the F alone. Since Laura was a late bloomer I really dont think she has much experience with guys to read their behavior. Other than Trey pushing her down I don’t know how much clearer he can make it. And of course he is going to sleep with her but lets see, He’s a 24 year old guy on an Island with no other options and a girl throwing herself at him. I bet he bangs her then starts ignoring her and she gets bent out of shape about it cause shes inexperienced and dumb.

    Initially I thought Trey and Latoya looked cute together too. He is way more fun without Laura hanging all over him. But since Trey released his racism/prejudice all over twitter it’ll be a cold day in hell before that would ever happen.

    @carol, you are totally right, Marie does look like that chick from Magic Mike! She also looks like Chelsea Handler as VA pointed out.

    @pawesl, what is this you are referring to about trey being racist? Share with those of us who aren’t on twitter :)

    I think Toya is awesome, she and Marie are my two favorites so far. I think her and Swift are adorable together, he needs someone who will put him in his place like she does. I rooting for them to hook up at some point.

    @Pawesl, clearly there are those who need an edit button before pressing send. What an embarrassing series of tweets! However, someone who would read someone’s personal journal and try to pass it off as “concern” also sends up a series of red flags.

    I don’t really get all the LaToya love. She reminds me of any number of replacement women cast for The Bad Girls Club. She doesn’t seem all that smart and, while cute, is going the Naomi route (Las Vegas Two). LaToya will be someone I really want to like who becomes dick happy off the roommate they have a crush on for the majority of the season. RW is way too predictable.

    I hate Laura, with a screaming burning passion. Maybe because she looks so much like ANTM’s Kayla (Cycle 14, I think, and All-Stars). Every time she’s making out with Trey, I keep thinking that she would prefer LaToya or Marie’s vagina.

    Haven’t seen this last ep yet but the recap was great and actually has me looking forward to catching a re-run. As for Trey, I went looking for his racist rant before the link was posted but yeah he tweets waaayyyy too much. While going through his time line, though, I noticed that he seems to tweet Latoya the most of all his cast mates. They seem to be really good friends, exchanging ‘luv yas’ often and such. Not that having a close black friend negates racism, just saying, I’m no willing to stamp him (or people in general) as racist based on tweets, texts, quotes, or other things that may be taken out of context or easily misconstrued. Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t but I for sure can’t say I’ve seen unequivocal proof of that

    I also have to add that there’s something about Swift that annoys me. Not that I think he’s a bad guy but he reminds me of other guys with physical shortcomings who overcompensate by talking big. All that ‘I’ll only wife an 8 or up but I’ll sleep with a 7′ stuff was such a turn off. What makes him think so called 7′s would even want him he’s like 5 foot nothing.

    He also has an annoying tendency of referring to himself as papi swift on twitter. . . :-I

    @Derek… I’m confused… Can you explain more your reasoning for comparing Toya to a girl that’s typically cast for Bad Girls Club? Knowing Toya personally and also having watched the first two episodes, I’d have to say she doesn’t display any of the characteristics of girls that are typically cast for the “Bad Girls Club.”

    I love Chelsea Handler. Compare away.

    You summed up Brandon in the best possible way: “horrifyingly awkward”. @jerseyj, I also pondered the prostitute-ibility of that girl, but at one point there is some allusion to her only being there for a bit so I’m assuming she’s a spring breaker who…….already tried out for the Real World and didn’t make it. But you’re so right, what that guy said about her the first night was really weird.

    @Captain, to clarify, LaToya reminds me of a BGC replacement girl in terms of appearance. In terms of what’s been on screen, as I mentioned earlier, she’s giving me a Naomi vibe. And, after Naomi’s chasing down of RoyLee, the pregnancy scare, and her horrifying clingy nature on the most recent challenge, I’m extremely skeptical of LaToya. I don’t know what she’s done in the two aired episodes to warrant the gasmii love, but that’s the joy of the comments section, I guess.

    @Derek I have to say I don’t get BGC replacement or Naomi from Latoya. If anything, Laura looks more like a BGC girl in her style of dress and her koolaide red dyed hair. (anyone remember sydney who did love games?).

    As far as the Naomi comparison, Latoya thus far seems unimpressed by any of the guys in the house, least of all Swift’s wanna be smooth guy facade. She seems to be enjoying his friendship while putting him in his place the way Naomi never did with Leroy (not that there was ever a need to).

    I don’t actually see her hooking up with anyone this season, or if at all I’d say it would be someone outside of the house. Maybe there’s something you noticed that I missed though. I’d say she’s one of the roomies I do like, but I can’t say any of them has earned my love yet

    @pawesl also I’m totally with you on Laura’s lack of self respect and/or experience with the opposite sex. I felt second hand annoyance when she was hanging all over trey on the boat and hugged him from behind after he told her to back off. Seems like a sweet person but also annoyingly nice and affectionate. I don’t see that pairing lasting too long

    Tardy to the party, but wanted to add my 2 cents…

    I don’t think MTV was very fair to Brandon. He never had a chance. Maybe in the actual real world, but not in this one, where the chicks are hot and the dudes are buff. He’s just…normal looking, def. not what I would consider attractive w/ all the tats and huge ear holes and AWFUL wardrobe. It’s like MTV is trying to push him back into hard drugs and cutting.

    LaToya (Jackson) is my favorite so far. I am sure next week I will hate her, but for now she seems cool and funny and says what’s on her mind, but not in an asshole way.

    Marie’s accent is already on my nerves. Sheesh.

    Ummmm, I want to know who’s sparkly pants Trey was wearing.

    I am confused about Trey and Laura (and I agree w/ all, they are annoying as hell). At first, Trey said Laura “was not typically the type of girl he went for.” THEN, later, he tells Laura that she reminds him of his “girl back home.” Poor Laura – she looks pretty pathetic, but also, shame on Trey for totally leading her on!!!!

    Also, I don’t know about Trey being a racist, per say. He just seems like a giant dick stain. Just b/c you have a friend of a different race doesn’t give you carte blanche to say whatever the fuck you want to. Also, if he was trying to be funny, he failed harder than Wes comparing himself to a Greek God.

    Marie looks and talks like Jan from the movie Grease. Everytime there is a tight close-up of her all I can hear in my head is “Brusha Brusha Brusha”. For the record, my gaydar was on high alert for Max and he was a camera ho too – he just needed an extra 15 minutes.

    Laura is a stage 5 clinger. Paula Walnuts is more demure and descreet.

    Trey trying so hard for that street cred is truly a rebel without a cause. The pensive staring into the horizon tormented moments while Laura clings on to his back made me throw up in my mouth. I can’t quit you!

    Swift aka Lift definately has a Nepolean complex and much more overcompensating to come.

    Toya is OK her super enthusiam is good for now.

    Whahdon is a hot mess. Have never seen anybody with so many identites and flipping so quickly from each one depending on what he thinks you want him to be. Petualant 5 year old, Big time pimp banging da ho’s, misunderstood rebel (Trey’s giving him some competiton here hence resentment), Reflective poet addicted to bettering himself, Destructive demon, and best of all Kiss Ass Kyaker catchin some tasty waves and schoolin his homies!

    Holy shit the anologies are awesome!

    @Consider…Nice pickup on the Walnuts comment

    I just love that Latoya Jackson’s name is, Latoya Jackson. For me, it’s the little things in life. The only BCG thing I can pick up on her is a little Willmarie but that’s it so far. Captain…doth thou protest too much? Could you and Toya be in a relationship??? Just asking.

    I have to ask this question, is that REALLY Trey’s Twitter? Or could it be one of the countless, name less fakes cause, call it or don’t call it what you want but, it’s definitely fucked up IMHO. I just did quit him. Gross.

    Plock good point on Whandon ( I like that name), maybe MTV couldn’t find the gay, transexual, polyamarous stunt person they wanted so they settled for The Whahhhhndo. Or, maybe he’s repressing his homosexuality and has been cutting and self medicating b/c it’s not exactly socially acceptable to be gay in rough and tough “southie”

    Wait a minute! What the hell am I doing reading into the RW like it has some purpose or wants to show people in depth and is still some great social experimental think tank. They’ll all fuck, fight and fuck some more and that’s, that.

    I do think it sucks they are on an island of their own but, I think the reason why they don’t have their own beach is b/c they would never have to leave and interact with other humans. I don’t care for the destination RW’s myself. They are about as exciting to watch as Zashley going to the gym. Just MO though. We shall see. Maybe the tides will turn once Ginge starts beating the crap out of himself.

    @gypsy- BAHAHAH. no :) Let’s say I have an affiliation to cast members on both shows (work related) … so, the comparison seemed off to me in terms of comparing someone cast on Real World as someone cast on Bad Girls Club.
    And knowing what I know, I would tend to believe that is Trey’s true twitter account… but I know nothing about twitter, so who knows!

    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…
