Out to dinner in town, Swift confirms with Captain Needy his suspicions that Ginger’s facial wounds are self-inflicted. The only other person there is Latoya, who is surprised and dismayed to find out. Captain Needy decides, with encouragement from the others, that the guys should sit Ginger down for a low-key intervention.
Back at the house, Captain Needy immediately pulls Grandpa aside to discuss the situation, and Swift joins the conversation shortly after. For some reason, the three guys having a conversation without Ginger makes Mo’Rum immediately suspicious, so she brings her concerns to Ginger, who guesses they’re talking about him. I guess they must have been acting super sketchy, giggling and throwing glances at Ginger and performing various other middle school girl behaviors.
Grandpa claims not to have known the extent of it, despite his lengthy conversation of EPICALLY hypocritical proportions just the night before. Anyway, they agree to “see what happens.” Way to commit to this, guys!
“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.”
Almost immediately after the guys scatter, Ginger sits Captain Needy down and asks what’s going on. Needy says they want to sit down and have a guy conversation, which Ginger first thinks is about his drinking. After that thought is quickly shut down, he knows it’s about him hurting himself. Ginger decides that it’s going to go down right now, and instructs Captain Needy to get the others. Never in the history of EVERDOM has the subject of an intervention had so much power over it.
Apparently they literally dragged Grandpa out mid-shower. He’s doing this in a towel. Seriously, he’s a guy right? How long does it take to finish showering and throw on shorts and a tshirt? Captain Needy says Ginger drinks every day, which is fine (way to come down tough and strong on that one), but he’s been a downer about it lately. They say he lets Mo’Rum get to him, and then he fucks himself up. Apparently Ginger disagrees with the notion that he fucks himself up, because burning and punching yourself is totally cool.
Swift says they’re worried about it progressing, but it can’t even stay at it’s current level. Ginger counters that he’s not an alcoholic, he just drinks too much.
Brilliant, foolproof Real World logic at its finest.
He claims that he can control it and asks the guys to give him a shot to correct the behavior himself before taking it to the next step. They guys, relieved that they’ve tried and are off the hook for now, agree. Ginger tells us he’ll work on not hurting himself, but he’s still going to drink and hang out with Mo’Rum.
Mo’Rum complains to Latoya that Ginger lets other people tell him what he’s doing wrong. Apparently beating himself up is okay in Mo’Rum’s eyes, but letting concerned friends talk to you about it is “cowardly” and “unattractive” to her. I’ve been mostly enjoying her this season, but this is where she started to lose me. Latoya, ever the diplomat, points out that the guys have good intentions.

“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?
