Previously:  Captain Needy had many issues, some of which involved drugs and alcohol.  He gave up the drugs already, and now he’s trying to give up the drinks.  Grandpa and RomCom blahblahblah.  Ginger and Mo’Rum were crushing on each other, but Ginger’s GBH might cause that to crash and burn.

Ginger awakens from a slumber in which he dreamed he was Spiderman.  “It was fantastic,” he adds unnecessarily.  “You’re so weird,” Mo’Rum adds even more unnecessarily.  They go for a morning swim/makeout session because, in case you haven’t heard, they like each other.  Mo’Rum calls up her cousin to discuss her love for Ginger.  Apparently he cooks for her and drinks with her, which is the way to her heart. 

“Duh,” thinks the collective consciousness of everyone who has seen more than half an episode of this season.

 

Mo’Rum goes on to explain the complication of Ginger’s GBH (girl back home) and is concerned because she really likes him.  Her cousin (Gina) gives the obligatory “Awww, you like a boy,” followed by Mo’Rum’s obligatory declaration that it’s weird.  She’s a rough-and-tumble gal, ya hear?  She don’t need no man!

Mo’Rum continues her busy morning by engaging in the regal sport of billiards with Captain Needy.  She learns that plans to attend an AA meeting and subsequently give up all drinking.  That’s right, the Captain is quitting on his comrade Morgan.  Mo’Rum pretends to joke about calling him boring and gives a half-hearted show of support.  In her confessional, she questions the logistics of this decision.

“No rum?” wonders Mo’Rum.  “Does not compute.”

 

Swift, on the other hand, respects Captain Needy’s ability to take responsibility for his problems and work to correct them.  El capitano is, of course, proud that he has made Swift proud.  To make him feel better about quitting cold turkey, Swift floats the idea of not drinking for a few weeks and then easing back into it, but Captain Needy says he needs to fully commit to sobriety.  He’s also looking forward to getting his 6 month chip for being drug-free.

Grandpa lives up to his nickname by telling us that he likes being catered to by a woman because he’s used to it and it makes him feel “comfortable.”  Naturally, RomCom is doing this very thing for her Prince Uncharming.  Speaking of RomCom, she is literally on her needs scrubbing the floor, like she’s goddamn Cinderella.

Where are all your animal friends when you need them most?  When does your fairy godmother show up to bibbidi-bobbidi-boo you to happiness?

Grandpa gets on the phone with GBH, as RomCom tells us that she doesn’t know where she stands or whether she’s his first choice.  You don’t stand anywhere, sweetheart, because you’re basically following him around on all fours.  Or “like a puppy,” as Mo’Rum disapprovingly describes.  She does not feel girls should allow guys to treat them that way.

    Grandpa has strong feelings for Chelsea so he won’t discuss her situation on a reality show, but he won’t leave said reality show to support her in this situation he got her into.

    Plus, he’s going to continue hooking up with another girl.

    Because, you know, if you wax poetic about something, it doesn’t matter if your actions indicate otherwise. Strong feelings indeed, scumbag.

    Well, I should say “situation he had a key part in getting her into”. Cause, you know, I’m aware it takes two to tango.

    Grandpa is such a hypocrite! I couldn’t believe he got mad at RomCom for talking to those guys, when he IMPREGNATED his girl back home and is still in a relationship with her. Good lord, RomCom just looks pathetic staying with him.

    So, I have to wonder…does Max live on an island nearby or something? Or was he actually willing to pick and up and fly from somewhere in the US to spend the week with a random girl he spent one night with while on vacation?

    @jerseyj: When MTV calls Max and offers him another chance to be on TV with an all expense-paid trip to St. Thomas where there is a girl who will more than likely have revenge sex with him… Yes, I believe Max would fly from one of Jupiter’s icy moons for that opportunity.

    Trey is suuuucccchhh a douche bag, Im watching the new episode now. And did anyone pick up the three month comment he said to the girl back home? It seems like they are not going to go through w the pregnancy, in which case I feel really bad for the girl having to air her private business on national tv. If I was her I would’ve wrote him a letter or something, not talked on a tapped phone.

    @Catherine-
    The girl does know that all of her phone calls are being recorded and could be aired. She has to sign a release before even being allowed to have phone conversations with a cast member. Sooo, yeah, it sucks for her, but it’s not as though she wasn’t aware there was a possibility that this bombshell could be a story line.

    I hear ya but it seems like they were trying to be vague enough to keep it quiet y’know? They were clearly aware that it could be aired so tried to keep it as un- suspicious as possible. I’m fascinated by the story line but it didn’t come into play what so ever in last nights ep. Just treys hypocritical douche baggery.

    Chelsea shows up later in the season. She can’t be that upset.

    @NotwithoutmyTV, is that true that MTV pays for these trips when people come to visit? I assumed they footed the bill for the flight themselves. I didn’t even think MTV payed for their bar tabs. Why wouldn’t Ginge just tell his girl back home not to come if she wouldnt’ be losing any money?

    @catherine, I think he definitely didn’t want her to go through with the pregnancy, that’s why he said they couldn’t wait 3 months to talk about it (more douchie-ness on his part). Who knows what she wants?

    @ gypsy- bahahahah.
    To my knowledge, MTV doesn’t pay for guest visits. I don’t know on that for certain, but I believe you foot your own bill for your 15 seconds of fame if you’re not a cast member :)
