Apparently neither of them saw “this” coming, although they might be the only two who didn’t.  Then the conversation just gets sickly sweet, to the point where Mo’Rum says she doesn’t think Ginger, her best friend of weeks, has any flaws.  Too much, guys.  We already get this crap from RomCom, you guys are supposed to be the fun ones!

 

If this is how Latoya packs for a weekend, it must have taken the Titanic to move her to St. Thomas.  What?  Too soon?

The roomies pack up and each give excited confessionals about their trip to St. Croix for St. Paddy’s Day.  This episode is really heavy on the Saints, which is ironic considering all of the shenanigans.  RomCom wants to get drunk, but is worried about flirting because she likes a boy who likes at least one other girl.  Oh, honey.

They get in an aircraft that is also a boat.  Last time I was on a plane that size, it was over the Grand Canyon and I was dry heaving into my barf bag with one hand while taking pictures with the other.  Yay, multitasking!  The roomies have no such issues and arrive at their lovely suite.  They then head out for some sightseeing, to some place with Christian in the name.  Naturally, they’re mostly excited to find cannons.  They wander around taking goofy pictures in various places.

Keepin’ it Christian.

They get ready for their first night out, and in their little bus they start a chant of “To the bar!”  This is, of course, an excuse for Captain Needy to look mopey while sad music plays and the happy cheers of his roommates fade into the background of his consciousness.  It’s all very emo. 

We then have a brief interlude of CRAZY MOTHERFUCKERS ON STILTS.  They dance (better than some people do on their own two feet, according to Latoya), there is much music and even more merriment.  Captain Mopey needs to be dragged into the fun by his (probably still sober at this point) roommates, but props to them for working to include him instead of letting him mope and drag everyone else down.  I know it’s hard, but he’s going to need a better outlook if he wants to get through this.

The next morning, there is green everywhere.  The roomies get ready, and Ginger is excited for his “day of reckoning.”  I feel you, bro.  I am not a ginger, but I am 3/4 Irish and it shows.

“I’m Irish EVERY DAY, so suck it all you ‘Irish today’ mofos.”

Captain Needy reminds us once again that he’s used to being shitfaced for St. Paddy’s, but this year he can’t even have a sip.  Ginger is already double-fisting Heinekens while they wait for Slowpoke Swift to get ready.  Latoya informs us that he is the last person to do everything and is therefore the precise opposite of swift.

    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?

    Not the recaps, thank you VA, you make this all tolerable.

    @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 :)
