RomCom calls him out for getting pissed at her for talking to random guys when he’s talking to someone he actually cares about.  Grandpa says he felt like the whole thing was “wrong and awkward from the beginning” and gives the whole “didn’t plan on any of this” speech.  RomCom says she doesn’t want to be his second choice, and claims to be torn between stopping things and continuing things.  Bullshit, but carry on.  Grandpa counters with “I think it would be smart to stop, but I don’t think it would be easy to stop.”  Such insight.  BTW, Grandpa wears his child’s pirate hat for serious conversations about relationships.

Mo’Rum tells us that if she’s going to have to deal with Ginger and Emily, she’s going to make sure Ginger goes through the same thing with her.  She has a plan:  “Max will be returning to the Virgin Islands.”

To perhaps pay a visit to Mo’Rum’s not-so-virgin island.

Yay, Max!  Latoya wonders about Ginger, but Mo’Rum assures us that she knows the games guys play because she’s played them too, and she’ll be damned if Ginger makes her look like a fool.  Oh, and things were going so well, too.  It was too good to last.

It’s dark out, and Grandpa and RomCom are still having their conversation.  Grandpa suggests slowing down, and RomCom tries one last time to get him to choose her.  They reluctantly agree to slow down, because that is a thing that has ever worked in the history of time.  “I hate you,” RomCom says.  “I hate me, too,” replies Grandpa, still weighed down by the bombshell he got earlier.

Next:  Mo’Rum and Swift get into a fight?  About what?  RomCom gets her flirt on, and Grandpa gets his rage on.

Well, at least this season finally produced something unexpected!  And it’s even a step forward than the usual Real World pregnancy scare!  I feel bad for this Chelsea girl.  Be careful out there, Gasmii.  Also, as dumb as this Ginger/Mo’Rum drama will probably be, at least there will be some conflict.  I was enjoying their mature conversation early on, should have known it couldn’t last.  The difference between them and most RW couples is that I actually believe they would be friends and/or date in real life.  They seem pretty compatible, beyond the “hey, here is a person in my vicinity” way that most RW couples appear to get together.  We shall see how this turns out.  What did everyone think?

    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?

    I cannot believe this season is happening. It SUCKS SO HARD!

    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 :)
