Well, we have had quite the roller coaster of Real World news recently, haven’t we Gasmii? First Joey from Hollywood died (thanks to Derek Hazelton for the link), then we got our first trailer for the new Challenge (link courtesy of plockeness monster), and now Diem’s cancer is back (link courtesy of jerseyj). Okay, so that last one is from a few months ago, but still. And to top things off, we have this clusterfuck of an episode.
So, let’s just concentrate on the positive: Battle of the Seasons!!! Awesome. So old school, yet so full of new people! Quite the contradiction. You know why it looks like such a different group of people? ZERO Fresh Meat for the first time in about six years. (Scratch that- Wikipedia says the official trailer has Fresh Meat people. What short-lived excitement.) The Road Rules numbers have been dwindling since it was canceled, obviously, but the percentage of retention for Fresh Meat has been off the charts. Anyway, I’m excited for it because it has a bunch of people from seasons I recapped, and the two vets, Alton and Trishelle, haven’t been around in a while. And as always, fuck Wes so hard. I hope all of the new kids revolt against the Austin cast immediately. I’m really looking forward to seeing how things shake out. There will be plenty more to say, but for now I leave you with this image:
I want to wack Grandpa with a dead fish!
So, let’s get into this week’s episode, which is just a big ol’ mess. Previously: Swift wondered whether Latoya would hook up with him. Mo’Rum flirted with a rich dude in front of Ginger, hurting his feelings, and got into a stupid-ass fight with Swift. Ginger took to self-mutilation, much to poor, reformed Captain Needy’s dismay. Grandpa exhibited all of the self-awareness we expect from our senior citizens, which is to say none.
Swift expresses concern for Ginger’s swollen face, but Ginger tries to casually blame it on a bar fight he was too blacked out to remember. Dude, when that is your excuse because it sounds better than what actually happened, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
Philipo calls the house and asks for Mo’Rum (the person, not the drink), but Swift insists on exchanging a pleasantry or two first. When she gets the phone, Mo’Rum looks shocked that her flirtation has led her to Step 2 of her plan to snag a rich dude. Something tells me she never gets past the shameless flirting stage.
Sure, she’s happy now, but wait until she finds out what Step 3 is: old man penis. This shit ain’t free, lady.
Anyway, it turns out he’s calling to invite all of the roommates (but probably mostly Mo’Rum) to dinner at his place the next night, where they will also enjoy some drinks and a lovely sunset. Ginger is clearly not thrilled to hear that Philipo asked for Mo’Rum specifically. Captain Needy naively states that a man in his 40′s would have no interest in a 20-something female, because sometimes he doesn’t quite exist in the same reality as the rest of us. Swift, meanwhile, is up in arms at Mo’Rum’s blatant disrespect of Ginger.

“Listen, guys, I’m already deep into this Lifetime movie, so I’m not going to be able to give full focus to your season-long Degrassi arc.”…I’m in stitches!
I hated Mo’Rum in this episode. Leave the guy alone. He’s being mature and walking away from a fight and you get on his case for it? And, “fat Betty Draper plus 20 years”! Hhahahhahhahahhahaha. I laughed out loud at that one…so true!
As much as I hate to say it, I kind of believe Swift over Toya. Those two were flirting like crazy at that point and she doth protest too much. Although photographic evidence would be nice.
You know for some reason I believe Swift as well. We all know that even though everything is filmed there is always a workaround.
Gotta agree. Why would a guy lie about a hook up. A girl has much more to lose than a guy when it comes to admitting to a hookup.
I’ve even gone so far as to think LaToya not drinking is calculated too. I think she wanted to be on the Real World but not be a drunken disgrace like those in the past like ohhhhh Trishelle!
YES! Can’t wait for the challenge! DANNY WES AND MELINDA, oh my!
I believe Swifty also. I don’t know that they had sex but I do think that there was some making out and heavy petting. I mean it’s cool Toya, you’re in St Croix have a little fun.
Mo’rum was a bitch this entire episode. She and Swift don’t like each other, but she does seem to egg him on. Then when she said she didn’t like the guys talking to him I think she thought they were going to say something about his drinking which would have left her with no one to drink with. Didn’t SHE have a conversation with Ginger about not hurting himself?!?!!?
It is much more manly to walk away from a fight then get beat up because you can barely stand up.
Omg, the Lifetime/Degrassi comment was freaking awesome.
I actually believe Latoya. It totally makes sense to me that Swift would lie about it, because Swift clearly does not respect women, and thinks he needs to be above them. I can totally see in his mind, that if he slept with her, that “proves” he’s above her. Especially if he feels threatened by her in any way, if he banged her, there’s no more threat, he “won.” So just one little rant here – seriously he makes me so angry with the way he thinks about women. I hate that he wants Ginger to like, put Marie in her place as the man or whatever. Or when he said no “WOMAN” will talk to me like that. As if a woman saying it is so much worse than a man. How dare she pretend she’s an equal, and talk to a MAN that way. Okay, /rant.
But seriously, wtf with Marie this episode? She’s going to tell Ginger he needs to stop letting people tell him what he’s doing wrong, by telling him what he’s doing wrong? So, he should listen to you but no one else about what he’s doing wrong? That’s logical. Also, seriously, the whole don’t walk away from a fight? Wtf? Especially because it felt like she just wanted someone to punch Swift, knows that’s a bad idea for her, and thinks Ginger is the most likely to do it for her. That’s effed up.
How are there fresh meat if it’s season vs. season? Confusion.
How has Cap’t Needy been my fav these past 2 episodes?!?!
Mo ‘rum and Swift don’t get along b/c they are both totally into themselves. They both needs lots of attention and when they don’t get it, they turn on each other and yell and get everyone in the house involved b/c the are at the maturity level of 5 year olds.
Rum was absolutely heinous. She yelled at Ging for letting people dictate his emotions and walking all over him, yet she turns around and does the same thing. You can tell that she MIGHT have had some feelings for Ging, but she got bored and moved on. She is stringing him along b/c she can. She completely feeds into his insecurities. You can’t tell me she didn’t know what she was doing when she was telling Ging that Phillipo was “totally hitting on her.” Another example, Rum telling Ging that he needed to confront Swift. WHY?!?!?!
I think Swift and Toya hooked up, but I don’t think they had sex.
Rum is such a twat box.
OHMMMMMGEEE! Can’t wait for the challenge. Here’s to someone punching self proclaimed “Greek God” Wes. I also hope there are some fatties b/c I have been missing the fat jokes around here
Plock, I was with Gypsy BF in my blding’s parking garage last Friday and we both had to do a triple take b/c we thought we sawbanas driving down the ramp. I tell you this b/c it lead to an evening of he and I screaming, “Ya Dumb BITCH!” all night.
Ahhhhhh- can’t wait for some fat jokes and a few dumb bitches here and there!
saw Bananas…jeeeeez
Probably because Swift can fight another man for speaking to him the way Marie does. Or at least lock up with him. Marie’s mouth is wreckless and Swift is frustrated because he can’t do anything about it.
Guys do have a code, so that’s why he’s asked Ginger to get his girl. Not to disrespect Marie, but out of respect for Ginger. He likes him so he doesn’t want to disrespect Marie with Ginger right there.
1) so excited about the new season of The Challenge
2) I don’t see any Fresh Meaters in there…and it wouldn’t make any sense in Battle of the Seasons. Who did you think you saw?
@classy – That helps me cut Swift some slack. Thanks for that!
Psst, Firefox plus Adblock equals no mtv.com barrage of commercials. I had no idea how scary mtv.com was until I tried watching TeenMom on my friends computer…what is it for every 5 mins of show they show 15 mins of commercials?
Marie is a cunt and Philipo is a gay camera whore who faked interest in Marie to get his 15 minutes as I am sure it was well publicized in St. Thomas that the freakshow was in town and with no gays cast – Philpo went with the most masculine cast member he could find.
I’m guessing fresh meat refers to people from the more recent seasons that have not been in challenges before?
@MichyPR, Fresh Meat refers to people who first appeared on the Fresh Meat Challenges. There were two challenges called Fresh Meat I and II where they brought on people who hadn’t been on Real world or Road Rules. They are the “fresh meat”.
Right, Vinny, Mandi, Theresa,etc But if they are doing battle of the seasons,assuming the teams are divided by season, would there be an all FM team?
