Mo’Rum says that she and Ginger are the only ones in the house who really drink (to be fair, it’s legitimate to expect more people at her level of drinking when signing up for this show).  She says that every single joke about her in the house is about alcohol.  Well, where could that possibly come from?

If you look reeeally closely at her here, you can ALMOST see an emotion!  Not just a drinking machine, friends!

Ginger recounts his intervention for Mo’Rum, who accuses him of agreeing with people just to be “nice and kind” and letting them tell him what he’s doing.  Because letting friends express their (completely legitimate) concerns is so terrible?  Ginger rolls over and accepts this criticism as usual.

Latoya recounts Mo’Rum’s statement about the non-drinking vs. drinking being at a 5:2 ratio.  Grandpa says that every steroid joke is about him (well, maybe give the roid rage a rest?), every tall joke is about Ginger (cause that’s the same), and they all take shit for something.  Turns out Swift takes shit in the form of the roommates joking about him being gay.  For some reason, Latoya’s laughter and Grandpa’s joke really upset Swift.

So much so, in fact, that he WAKES HER UP AT FOUR A.M. TO YELL AT HER ABOUT IT.  Seriously?!  What a douche!  Anyway, she tells him he’s a pussy for not confronting Grandpa about it, since Grandpa made the joke in the first place.  Swift claims he would if Grandpa knew “everything.”

The roomies head to work, where they will be working in the Butterfly Garden.  We learn that Latoya is not a fan of butterflies, surprisingly enough.  Since she’s so awesome, this little quirk is endearing instead of just plain ridiculous.

No worries, 10 seconds of Googling has convinced me that there is no such thing.  This would be a perfect gag gift for Latoya, though.

Latoya recounts the events of the previous night for Mo’Rum while they work, and before you know it they’re heading home.  I wish my work hours were this short.  And involved butterflies and/or sea lions.

Time to get ready for dinner at Philipo’s!  Ginger puts on Mo’Rum’s shirt from St. Patrick’s Day (the one asking for money) and proceeds to mock her gold-digging ways. 

They get there, and it’s as huge and fancy as you’d expect.  He shows Mo’Rum and Laura the view (which includes their house/island) over some wine, prompting Mo’Rum to tell us that she loves Philipo because he has so much money.  What a deep, surprising, personal revelation!

In case you though the way to Mo’Rum’s heart was through her liver, you should know it’s much deeper than that.  It’s through a wallet.

While they’re eating, Philipo gives a welcome toast to his “new friends,” and holy crap is this guy a dork.  He asks Mo’Rum if she’s from Long Island, and she gets all offended (hey!) and says she’s from Staten Island, and she’s a borough.  BARELY, but I digress.

    “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!

    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?

    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”.
