This week, we get to see the roomies return to the time-honored tradition of the Real World vacation. The roomies receive a trip to Cancun, sponsored by a soda that I’ve never tried but can only assume is a Sprite/Sierra Mist/etc. knockoff. I didn’t watch the Cancun season, but apparently they stayed in that cast’s old stomping grounds. The whole trip seriously looks like a postcard, the cameramen who filmed that deserve a raise. The roomies engage in various antics, including crashing Cooke’s bang session with an Australian and MikeMike attempting to conquer his fear of snakes by wrapping a giant one around his neck. I say “attempting” to conquer, because he spent the whole time freaking out (careful, they can smell fear! Okay, okay, snakes can’t smell) and said he would never do it again after it was over. Kind of like Dustin’s old encounters with a whole different kind of snake. But MikeMike does deserve some points for facing his fear.
He does not, however, earn points for fighting with Dustin. The roomies are working on starting a charity to help high schools in and near Las Vegas earn money to help their music programs. I like this idea as the importance of music education is something I feel strongly about. I realize there are bigger problems in the world, but this is just a reality show and they’re doing it as part of working for the Hard Rock, so it really is a very appropriate idea. Anyway, MikeMike is taking charge of getting the legwork done, but gets overshadowed when Dustin starts improvising ideas in a meeting. After said meeting, he hits a sensitive nerve when he implies that Dustin won’t be allowed to go visit a high school. Apparently MikeMike does not comprehend the difference between “gay porn star” and “sex offender.” Anyway, the fighting continues one night in Cancun when Dustin is extra-drunk, and it’s basically stupid and all a bunch of bullshit.
Also this week, the PI Nany hired has located her father. Apparently he’s living in Florida and has been married to someone since before she was born! Holy crap, this just got a little bit scandalous. Anyway, Nany writes him a letter for the PI to deliver and hopes that they can be a part of each other’s lives going forward. Too bad her dad isn’t living in California, then he could have been the Terminator! Come back soon for the full recap, at which point I still will not understand or care about the melodramatic fight.

Nice mini- cap! But, snakes can and do smell.
I did see MikeMike’s point. I can’t imagine the Hard Rock would even have Dustin representing a charity they are creating for children if they knew he was a gay porn star! I doubt the school would have allowed him to speak to the students either considering the uproar that would unevitably come from the parents.
Mike didn’t have a point, he was just being a judgmental, jealous dick, with he is really good at covering up with his super sweet christian boy front. I am over all these people, when does the Challenge start?!?!
Brattygrl, I agree with you. There was an uproar about Jeremih being in some campaign with Chicago Public Schools to get students to return to school because of his song “Birthday Sex” that was brought on by, you guessed it, parents. If Zito’s past was found out, it might not be the administrators that get up in arms, but if they don’t, you can bet some parents will.
That being said, I DO think Mike brought that up not because he was really concerned, but because he wanted to cut Zito at the knees for stepping on his toes (knees and toes, get it?) I did think Zito was annoying at the meeting (well, I consider Zito annoying most of the time) and understood Mike’s anger, but his response was pretty petty. Mike has been one of my all-time favorite characters on the Real World, though, so I’m okay with a little pettiness from him. How old is Zito, by the way? He speaks of being 18 like it was forever ago but his “I’ll kill you, son!!!” attitude reeks of not older than 20.
Why does it take an entire week (sometimes more) for recaps for this show to get posted while most are up in a matter of days?
I wonder how the roommates would feel if Zito was filmed having straight sex vs gay sex? Mike’s comments were very borderline homophobic.
I have not googled Zito’s porn but how is what he did different from what the roommates are doing? They are getting paid to be filmed 24 hours a day while living with other people. They are acting like fools while MTV earns the profits. They (almost all) are having sex while being filmed. No, we do not see them naked but humping under the blanket all the time. We see roommates (1 on this season and many on others) go from one sex partner the next without ever thinking of the consequences. This is sort of like the PG (not PG-13 since we get swearing edited out) of Zito’s R/NC17 version.
As a roommate, I wouldn’t care either way other than an entertainment standpoint.
As the girl dating the guy with a porn past, I’d be unnerved whether it was straight or gay. Granted, a little more confused if it were gay….
And porn is way different that the Real World. In my personal opinion.
Oh, I definitely think Mike brought it up just to get to Zito! That doesn’t change the fact that he was somewhat right though. If parents found out, I’m sure atleast half of them would have a problem with it.
I agree Bratty. While MikeMike was wrong for saying that it was not untrue.
Parents have issues if they find out that their child’s teacher has a wild night out on the town (drinking with girlfriends at a bar). I am surprised we haven’t heard anything from some parents already.
