The Real World: The Powers of Rationalization

Real World

By Treadingonme | Thursday, March 15, 2007 | 9:00 am | 104 Comments

TyloveSo this is finally it. After years of reading TVgasm and all of the great recaps, I finally get to recap a show that people actually watch. Finally, a dream come true: a chance to make fun of the Real World cast in a public forum. And I promise I’ll try to do my best to fill B-Side’s gigantic shoes (seriously, they’re like clown shoes). But, with the introduction out of the way, let’s see what went down this week in Denver (Colorado!).

The show starts off at night showing the Denver skyline, and it looks pretty boring, and this is all while ominous music plays in the background. At first I was wondering if the Real World could actually start off on a serious note, until they showed Monarck. Everyone knows if you see Monarck, you know the Real Worlders will be inside, since there are no other bars in Denver.

It’s at Monarck where we’re introduced to the first storyline of the night: Tyrie and Jazalle. The two lovebirds were in line for the bathroom, kind of making out, and then we hear Colie mention that “They’re so cute together,” to Stephen and Alex. She’s such a romantic. Well, Alex says that he thinks it’s kind of hard on Tyrie, but not really because he likes her so much. Then Stephen jumps at the chance to tell them, “Tyrie told Jazalle he loved her.” Both Alex and Colie react with shock, but it looks like Colie might also be a little jealous. At least, that’s how it looked when I paused my DVR as she was leaning back. Alex says that it’s bad for the Frat if Tyrie’s in love with her. Hey, remember the Frat? How could you not, we’ve been hearing so much about it lately. (First sign of jumping around timeline.)

After that we see Tyrie and Jazalle in her car outside of Monarck. Tyrie tells her that he’s very protective of his heart, and the only person who has his heart is his mom. But you’re dead wrong if you think he just gave it to her. He made her work for it. He says it just to point out that he’s trying to be careful with his heart. Jazalle responds by saying that Tyrie has her heart, “So don’t fuck it up.” Then Tyrie responds with the sweet words, “YOU don’t fuck it up.” Then Jazalle said “If you ever make out with that Brooke chick though, I’m through with you.” I’ve got some bad news Jazalle…

Back at the house, Tyrie and Alex are doing what all normal people do after a night out: shooting hoops. This scene was kind of boring to me, since I don’t really care about people’s “feelings,” whatever those are. But basically, Tyrie said he liked Jazalle a lot. Alex said he thought Jazalle was an intuitive, intelligent person who can help Tyrie should he ever need someone to lean on for support. And Alex said she’s good-looking. We can’t leave out the most important thing.

Tyrie responded with “I think she’s fine.” Hold on Tyrie, let’s not get crazy with our adjectives here. Alex says, “She’s not as fine as Ashley, but she’s twice as smart!” I think Tyrie agreed, but he said when you consider personality and looks, Jazalle comes out ahead of Ashley. I also take that to mean that he thinks Ashley has the personality of a door, but maybe I’m just inferring that.

Then Tyrie points out to us that after he met Ashley, he invited her to come to the gym with her. Well, “Some things progressed,” he says, which I take to mean their relationship on a purely spiritual, non-physical manner. Ok, that’s a lie. They did it before he went to the gym. And might I add nice work Tyrie.

Bighead

Most brutal Real World icon ever

Back to Alex and Tyrie shooting hoops, and Alex isn’t so sure that Tyrie should settle down to just one woman. “Having one woman has [mumble mumble] pros than cons, but it definitely has cons.” I think what he said was having one woman has more pros than cons, but I listened to it like three times and heard it different every time. Tyrie says he thinks it’s still worth it though. Alex seems fine with that answer and says “I’ll pick up the slack.” And then he goes on to say “And by that I mean I will completely take advantage of Colie only when I feel like it, and the rest of the time I will treat her like shit. That is what I mean when I say picking up the slack.” Thanks for clarifying Alex! Tyrie gets the last word, saying that if the opportunity for a threesome arises, he might have to do what he has to do. Such a gentleman. I know many guys who wouldn’t do what they’ve got to do for 2 sexy ladies in need.

Then it was finally our first chance to see Brooke and Jenn this week. We hear Jenn say, “I don’t like hot guys. I like scruffy guys, just, just, I don’t like hot guys.” She also said “I don’t like hot guys because I really care about a guy’s personality. Looks mean nothing to me. I’m not what you would consider “shallow” at all. Seriously.” Brooke then tells us about her first boyfriend having jacked up teeth and longer hair than her, and he already sounds like a winner. Ever since then, she’s had a thing for dudes with long hair. Jenn then says, “Are you done talking about yourself yet? Is it my turn yet?” She didn’t necessarily say that, but you know she was thinking it. She describes Jared, and I was wondering who the hell Jared was. (To be fair, she had mentioned him in a previous episode.)

Brookemakeout-1

Brooke, wanna make out?

Jenn tells us that Jared is someone in her life who she “really, really” cares about, and she’s trying to build a relationship with him. Proven fact: When building a relationship, it’s a good idea to make out with someone you live with, and it’s an even better idea to have sex with someone you live with. Jenn describes Jared some more to Brooke, then says he’s going to come visit soon and she misses him so much. Then she says something I think we can all agree on: “I’m such an asshole.”

She admits to us that she has cheated on Jared (duh), but at least she is admitting it, and she feels guilty about it. So she calls him and says, “I got really fucked up the other night and hooked up with my roommate.” On the other line we hear…silence. Then Jared asks who it was, and Jenn tries to dodge the question, but finally answers that it was Alex. Then she cries and whines, and says her intentions weren’t to hurt Jared, but then he says, “I don’t give a shit about your intentions.” YEAH! Then she says that she was drunk, and again he calls bullshit, saying that he gets drunk all the time and doesn’t do anything with anybody. Then Jenn whines about how bad she feels, and thankfully Jared reminds her that it’s like a “punch in the gut” for him.

Alexmakeout

Makin’ out is what defines me. Making out and herpes.

I think MTV edited out some of the discussion (thank God) because a little later Jared sounded pretty calm and slightly more forgiving. He thanks Jenn for telling him, because she didn’t have to, and then the conversation is over. This is the second sign of the questionable timeline. Jenn hooked up with Alex more than once, so either she was lying, or this was very early.

We see footage of a thunderstorm in Denver (how very fitting, editors) and then Jenn goes to talk to Colie about the whole situation. Jenn says she never puts anyone before herself. I think she was implying that she had put Jared’s feelings in front of her own. In retrospect of her hookup with Alex, she’s chosen to put his feelings in front of hers. But let’s not forget that she had no qualms about hooking up with him. And, as far as we know, the only problem she had with hooking up with Alex was that Colie is stalking him. Also, we all know that Colie is NOT the perfect person to get relationship advice. I didn’t really pay attention to what she said, but I think the gist of her advice to Jenn was to have fun with Alex, then have Jared come for a weekend and do nothing but have sex, knowing full well you’ll go back to Alex afterwards, and then when Alex rejects you, pout, and then when Jared rejects you, cry. I pointed out, Colie was not the best person to get relationship advice from.

After the commercial break, and on what I can only assume to be the next day, we see, like, two shots of Jared’s picture (which makes like 8 or something already) and then Jenn is sitting by the phone, crying. She somehow ends up on the phone with her sister Michelle, and then Jenn tells her sister about the whole situation with the Alex hookup and the Jared phone call. Jenn says she doesn’t want to make Jared look like an idiot, and then her sister says, “Well YOU don’t want to come home and look like an idiot.” If only you knew Michelle. If only you knew. Apparently Michelle saw Jared kissing other people, but she doesn’t know who it was.

Sistermakeout

Hey Sis, Wanna make out?

Well it sure didn’t take long for Jenn to switch from sad to angry. She tells us, “It sucks when you go out on a limb for somebody, and you care about somebody, and you try to do something right, and try to be a good person about something, and you get a slap in the face.” She goes on, “It would be like someone you care about having sex with someone they temporarily live with. Wouldn’t that be awful?”

Off the phone, rather than call Jared to get the truth from him, Jenn goes to tell the situation with Brooke. Oh how quickly she can play the victim. She is pissed that Jared had the audacity to pretend on the phone that he’s Mr. Perfect, while she had just been honest with him about hooking up. Once. And he was sober when he did it! I’m not sure where she got that fun fact from, but he must have been, which makes it worse. Jenn tells Brooke, “To me, kissing is more intimate than being drunk and having sex with somebody. Kissing somebody! In public!” Imagine that! People you know actually seeing someone you kind of have something with kissing someone else in public! As opposed to, say, seeing first-hand someone you kind of have something with hook up with their roommate. She thinks that him kissing someone is worse than her hooking up with a roommate that she doesn’t even know and being drunk. You know, even though she lives with that person and sees them everyday and will be getting to know them. I present to you all Jenn’s powers of rationalization. Everyone should be taking notes.

Finally it’s Brooke’s turn to talk. She’s been cheated on before, so I guess she has motivation, but she’s ruthless. She tells Jenn, “Never feel sorry for a man. Period. Never. Because as soon as you start feeling sorry for him, you’ll figure it out soon enough, they’re fucking around way more than you are.” Ouch Brooke. She continued, “I think you are completely justified in killing every man you see. A jury would never convict you. (whispers) I’ve tried it; it works.” Brooke’s been hurt, yes, but isn’t hating all men (straight at least) forever a little much?

Later we see Tyrie on the phone with Jazalle, who was woken up when he called. She tells him about a conversation she had with her brother where she told her brother she’d fallen for and trusts Tyrie. Tyrie doesn’t sound to pleased though. He chooses this point to tell her that he had sex with Ashley, whom Jazalle lovingly refers to as Big head, which is an awesome nickname. Obviously, Jazalle isn’t too cool with this, even though it was before the two were serious. But Tyrie is 100% sorry, and he says that only Jazalle is important. Then he asks if he can get her to come over one more time (apparently he asked her before) and she rejects him. Should have kept your mouth shut Tyrie. Damn that conscience.

From there we go to the airport with Stephen and Alex, because Stephen’s friend Darnell is arriving today! They walk into the house and Darnell asks Stephen, “Is that your room right there?” Stephen said no, that’s the phone room. “Oh, that’s crazy,” was Darnell’s response. He also asked if the kitchen, the shower, and the toilet were Stephen’s room. I’m not too sure this isn’t actually Darnell’s first trip inside of a house, so good for him for going outside of his comfort zone.

That night the guys (Stephen, Darnell, Alex and Tyrie) are all going out to dinner, and Stephen gets a little pep talk from Alex. Basically, Alex calls out Stephen for being a light drinker, which I can totally relate to, because I harass my friends for not drinking enough all the time. Stephen responds with, “Oh yeah? Well let me just pop my collar. Who’s a man now Alex?” Note: I still side with Alex in that one. Oh, also, it didn’t really happen.

Jennsawhore

Yay, Jenn’s a whore! Cheers!

After dinner, the guys meet up with the rest of the roommates at a new bar (new bar!) called DC 10. There we see Jenn, who tells us that Darnell is hot. At first you might be thinking, uhoh, Jenn is going to be all over him. But then you remember that she said she doesn’t like hot guys. Crisis averted before it even started. Sure they’re dancing together, and she’s drinking, but it’s not like that’s ever caused a problem before, right?

Bemine

Poor guy doesn’t see it coming

While everybody was having a good time at the bar, who is working there but the infamous Big head, a.k.a. Ashley. She’s kind of standing by Tyrie, but I don’t think we actually see him say anything to her. Luckily for Tyrie, Jazalle also shows up, while Ashley is standing by him. Uh-ohhhh. It doesn’t really look like anything happens, but Tyrie tells us that Jazalle came over to the table, saw Ashley giving them drinks, gave him an evil eye, then left pissed. Remember that trust thing? Maybe Jazalle overestimated her trust in Tyrie just a little bit.

After the commercial break we saw the guys getting a ride back home. Back at the house we hear Jenn say that Darnell is getting her in trouble. She tells us that Darnell is: adorable, sweet, good guy, educated, intelligent. Remember when she said she hooked up with Alex and didn’t even know him? Somehow, in the course of a night, she managed to get to know Darnell possibly better than Stephen knew him. Somehow. I’m pretty sure it’s entirely sincere though.

Jenn goes to talk to Colie (who apparently stayed in) about hooking up, and Colie gives her the go ahead. Then she mutters under her breath, “As long as you stay away from my man Alex. He loves me! That’s why he’d have sex with you! To prove it!” Stephen and Darnell were sitting on the couch downstairs, and Jenn comes down and sits between them.

Stephenshock

This was the moment Stephen realized he had feelings for Darnell

Understandably, seeing that a makeout was imminent, Stephen got off the couch. I wouldn’t want to sit and watch my friend makeout with anyone, let alone someone I lived with and knew what they’d done in the past. And cue the makeout. Jenn doesn’t like hot guys, remember. Maybe this guy is scruffy. Even though she described him as hot. Let’s not get into the semantics here.

JenndarnkissGollum

She’s like the Smiegel of Slut

Darnell has had enough of this making out in front of people and says, “Let’s go somewhere.” Jenn replies, “I do have a dude back home. I’m not with him. I care about him. I like him. But you are fucking sexy as hell.” Then there was some mumbling I couldn’t decipher, and then more making out in public. I guess this qualifies as growth for her, if she was able to say up front that she had a “dude” before hooking up with someone else, so good work and congratulations Jenn.

Then we see Tyrie is on the phone with Jazalle. There is arguing, I’m not really sure what happened, but apparently she was en route to the house while they were talking, because she asked Tyrie to come let her in. Really quickly we see Jenn ask Stephen if Darnell is hot, and Stephen just hangs his head, but in the background we can hear Tyrie and Jazalle arguing.

Jazalle is upset that Tyrie is screaming at her, and then he screams, “I’M NOT SCREAMING AT YOU!” She tries to walk away, and he grabs her arm and pulls her back. She runs inside into the bathroom, and Tyrie goes in after her. He says he loves her pretty calmly, and she says if he loves her, then he shouldn’t scream at her. Basically she won’t stop talking so he can talk, causing him to start screaming more. She says, “You scare me when you scream at me,” and I cannot agree more with her on this point. She tries to leave the bathroom and he grabs her arm and this time yanks her back into the bathroom, then closes the door, and resumes his yelling. All he wants is for her to listen, but screaming sure isn’t working. However, it only makes him scream more.

At this point, things get pretty scary. In the window of the door you can see Tyrie step aggressively towards Jazalle. Then Jenn and Jazalle’s cousin (who apparently came with Jazalle to the house) both show up outside the door to help Jazalle out. Jenn opens the door, Tyrie slams it shut again. Jenn tries again, and Tyrie pushes Jenn out of the way. Then Stephen runs over there and is trying to help Jenn hold the door open. And just as it’s getting good…

to be continued…

So that was the show for this week. What did you think? Is there anyone who can rationalize their actions better than Jenn? Do you think the Tyrie/Jazalle battle is being built up for an entire week only to fizzle out next week?

Also, let me know what you thought of the recap. Loved it, hated it, too short, too long, wish I would shut up. I’m open to your suggestions.

    I was actually thinking that tyrie was alright til he started screaming at his girlfriend. abusive behavior is not alright and it pisses me off

    Jenn is such a slut, damn! she jumped on stepehns friend the minute he came in there, and she had the audacity to get mad at her “boyfriend” jared for kissing someone. the stupidity amazes me.

    anyone else notice that stephen is never around when something jumps off?

    i dont know if its the stupid editing or what but something doesnt seem right with the way things played out in this episode.

    In terms of criticisms, Chee-Zee, I’m gonna let you have at it first before chiming in since I suspect you’ll succinctly tackle everything I really want to expound on, but I WILL say this for all the Hills fans ripping into LagunaConsultant–clearly, it could be worse.

    I thought this recap was great. I have no problems with it, and I laughed out loud a couple times.

    Treadingonme! Nice job! :)
    You should have included the “GODDAMNSH*T!” Tyrie screamed after the “I’M NOT SCREAMING AT YOU!” That was the best part of the episode IMO.

    Jenn, Jenn, Jenn! She has the wierdest logic ever! So, she has oral with one guy, sex with (one or two?) others ON CAMERA, but of course, its much more humiliating for Jared to kiss girls in public back home. Yeaaaaa. Not so much!

    Tyrie was kind of scary this week. Jazelle was definately throwing a hissy fit over nothing, but he really shouldn’t manhandle a chick like that ever. Maybe Tyrie doesn’t realize how physically intimidating he is, because I guess if it had been Alex or Stephen doing/saying the same things it wouldn’t have been as scary. I don’t know, I felt sorry for both Jazelle and Tyrie.

    And Jazelle is the most ridiculous spelling of “Giselle” I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s worse than Kyndra for “Kendra”!

    Well done, Treadingonme!

    This episode was edited beyond recognition as far as the Jenn/Jared thing. The only thing I could make out (pun intended) was that Jenn is slutty, but we all knew that already.

    As for Jazalle, I think she was hammered drunk and being pissy, BUT Tyrie was getting scary. I don’t think he’d hit her but he sure didn’t hesitate to get in her face and yell at her. Talk about a deal-breaker.

    And what was with Colie reading a book?! I bet it was, “He’s Just Not That Into You, but Maybe If You Drunkenly Pester Him Enough He’ll Come Around Eventually.”

    So I guess I’ll chime in now…sorry pretties, but it’s all in the syntax; this recap reads way too much like a play-by-play without enough creative liberties in the way of jokes or honing in on a particular moment(s) that might be hilarious even if it doesn’t necessarily assist in the narration of the storyline. For me, with the exception of the screencaps, the funny observations were usually buried under
    “then Tyrie did this, and that made Jazelle do that, and they both went…”

    And lest you think I’m just having sour “no one will ever replace B-Side!” grapes, Treadingonme, you can definitely hop over to LagunaConsultant’s first Hills recap and find that his writing–while rocky in some aspects–is already more polished in the aforementioned techniques. Don’t be afraid to go a little wacky in your recpas–assert those jokes!

    that’s what i was thinking when i was reading the recap. there’s too much of ‘then he said, and then she said, and then wha happened was….’ hehe. but u get my point. yeah more funnies would be better. But it started getting better towards the end.
    Overall it was pretty good Treadingonme!! good job =)

    oh and Jenn has issues! Does she seriously need to hook up with every guy she meets? And she tells every single guy ‘you are so sexy’ Someone needs to help her. And then she’s gonna end up hooking up with Stephen?! ummm….stephen???? c’mon now.

    I see Trishelle was on the aftershow…..i bet that she had no problem with Jenn’s sluttiness. But she was probably thinking ‘i was better at it’

    To all those realizing just now thatTtyrie is a jerk, I say, duh!

    It was pretty evident when he hit us earlier with his alter egos, which is simply an excuse for irresponsible people to act like jerks without expecting to be held responsible. Hey, it wasn’t me, it was Leroy Jenkins, blame him! Idiot.

    I’m sure the festivities in the bathroom will fizzle out in the first 20 seconds of the next episode.

    Thanks for the recap, witty and entertaining, and easy to dance to, I give it a 9.

    An one small, small critique for all of the new writers – please consider the difference between “to” and “too” when writing. Sorry, I was taught by nun. Nuns with rulers!

    I thought the recap was great. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m getting tired of all the B-Side comparisons. Don’t get me wrong, he was great, and I loved reading his recaps, but he is gone now so everyone needs to move on. I feel like some aren’t even giving the new writers a chance. And I am not talking about you colie’scooter, I am mostly referring to the 200 comments over on the Hills recap and the ones I am sure are going to fill this recap. I just think the writers need to find their groove.

    I thought this was a pretty good recap. Much better than Laguna Consultant for the Hills. I snickered a few times and really enjoyed the LOTR reference. The show didn’t lend itself to as much joking this week with the whole domestic abuse undertone. But good start.

    Jenn really is disgusting, but at least she wasn’t wearing cut-offs for once. I think that went out around 1995. The way she was talking to Stephen’s friend was so embarrassing.

    Treadingonme, job well done!! I must say, I was fearful about who might replace B-Side in the Real World recaps, but I no longer am. You did a much better job than B-Side’s other replacement on the Hills! This recap was humorous, and included great screencaps! My favorite was the picture of Stephen with the caption “This was the moment Stephen realized he had feelings for Darnell” Thank you for the good job!

    I agree with shiaobundan, Tyrie’s “I’M NOT SCREAMING AT YOU!” followed by the “GODDAMNSH*T!” was a key hilarious moment. However, the end was really uncomfortable to watch with Tyrie getting out of control. Did you see the previews for next week when he is getting handcuffed outside the RW house?

    And, agreed, don’t take love advice from Colie. Well, unless you want to perfectly master the delusional and needy overbearing booty-call!!

    I’m at work, but just wanted to weigh-in!

    I thought the recap was pretty good, and I especially appreciate the fact that it was done so quickly! I think recapping is actually fairly difficult, and I respect both treadingonme and L-Con’s willingness and dedication to all of us in taking it on.

    I miss B-Side too, but he’s moved on and think all of us need to as well. I am shamelessly addicted to MTV reality television, and aside from all of our silly disagreements and flames at each other – I’m very appreciative of the fact that we all have a place to interact. I genuinely believe that 50% of what makes this site so funny, interesting and entertaining is our participation as “responders” to the recaps.

    I also think that there is a bit of a learning curve in establishing a dynamic between writing a complete commentary on the episodes, and finding a niche within an existing group of posters. Had treadingonme or L-Con begun recapping from the start of their respective seasons, the transition would have been much smoother, and we would probably have been less critical. We’re a tough crowd! LOL!

    See guys, I’m really not a TOTAL bitch! :-) Just don’t let that get around.

    I’ll be posting more later on the actual episode – All I’m going to say for now is: I almost started thawing out on Tyrie by last week, but I should have trusted my initial instincts – he’s a nasty motherfucker.

    Also, I’ve made a personal commitment to not allowing any of my posts to miss an opportunity to bash E. Colie. MissKatrina – I actually thought the same thing about “He’s Just Not That Into You…” LOL! You beat me to it, arrgghh :-) heh heh!

    I did notice however that that pile of hay on top of her head looks just as good when she’s lying in bed as it does in the bars. God, she’s a fucking mess.

    Chee-Z,

    I agree, I think it would be quite difficult to write a recap. I personally would be very intimidated!

    I didn’t like this one, but I didn’t think it was bad either. I’ll definitely keep reading the recaps no matter what. I’m a TVgasm junkie.

    As Treading mentioned in the recap – i think this entire episode happened much earlier in the season…there was too much ashley talk (who has been out of the picture for awhile), The Frat thing, Jenn only hooking up with Alex once, and I think that the reason Colie had stayed in is because this is during the time she had mono…

    I thought you did a pretty good job!! I didnt find myself comparing you with B-side as much like with LagunaConsultant!!

    Something tell me that Stephen was more pissed at the fact that he wanted to make out with Darnell, and Jen ruined that for him!! I’m sorry but the guy screams gay!! Did you see the panties he was sleeping in?

    I got Dejavu when Tyrie and Jazelle were fighting with the episode where Tyrie was trying to blow Jazelle off at the bar and she was like, “Stop being mean to me!” The way that she whines pisses me off, but she was right on both accounts.

    I begin to wonder if maybe Jazelle has self esteem and insecurty issues, because she felt it necessary that Ashley is NOT cuter than her (SHE IS).
    It doesnt help that Tyrie said so himself that Ashley does look better than her!!(I agree)

    What I didnt understand was why after Tyrie grabbed her arm the first time did she run IN the house?! I would’ve been going in the other direction! Right after I told him to never put his Fu##ing hands on me!!

    After this airs, I wouldnt be surprised if a couple of Tyries ex-girlfriends came forward and claimed that Tyrie abused them!! He is a total psycho!!

    I thought you did a pretty good job!! I didnt find myself comparing you with B-side as much like with LagunaConsultant!!

    Something tell me that Stephen was more pissed at the fact that he wanted to make out with Darnell, and Jen ruined that for him!! I’m sorry but the guy screams gay!! Did you see the panties he was sleeping in?

    I got Dejavu when Tyrie and Jazelle were fighting with the episode where Tyrie was trying to blow Jazelle off at the bar and she was like, “Stop being mean to me!” The way that she whines pisses me off, but she was right on both accounts.

    I begin to wonder if maybe Jazelle has self esteem and insecurity issues, because she felt it necessary to say that Ashley is NOT cuter than her (SHE IS).
    It doesnt help that said so himself that Ashley does look better than her!!

    I liked the recap and I thought the screencaps were great but I do agree that there was a bit too much play by play commentary. Overall though I like it.

    I thought it was funny that tyrie screamed that he wasn’t screaming. I think he was just getting pissed off that jazaelle (sp?) would not shut up and since he probably was drinking it only made it worse. I don’t think he realizes his strength when he pulled jaz like that, in hindsight after he watches this episode he would probably feel sorry/shitty.

    Treadingonme,

    Thanks for stepping up to the plate. The fact that Jenn asked her sister to make out with her is HILARIOUS!! However, I do have one question: Is anybody editing these recaps before they’re published? Because, I have a theory: B-Side is a professional writer with a background in journalism. Grammar ain’t no thing for B-Side. I agree with the other posters who said there were too many, “then this happened and then that happened.” I have a solution: Let someone edit.
    But, overall I think you’re a “rock star!” I’m not hatin’.
    Jenn may have just out-skanked any other Real Worlders in Real World history. I think we should have a vote, though. Who can think of anyone skankier than Jenn on the Real World (or at least a girl…Remember the Miami threesome?) What was that whole Davis/Lance Bass thing about? And, did anyone else hear the sigh of relief from Jared when he heard Jenn had sex with Alex. I guess he thinks ‘Once you go black, you can’t go back.’

    I hate Tyrie. Never liked him from the beginning. He clearly needs help, and I’ve said this before, he just a arrongant, and after seeing this episode, abusive psychopath. (At least he’s more entertaining than Stephen though, I’ll give him that…)

    Mgasm – I never thought Tami was a skank but those were back in the days when they didn’t really show any of the cast members hooking up like they do now. I don’t recall any night vision shots or people getting it on under blankets. Tami was no role model though. Some highlights – wiring her mouth shut to lose weight, trying to rig her appearance on Studs to make money, and of course the on camera abortion. Even though she worked for a safe sex clinic.
    You know, I took a little refresher look at all the casts and I might have to go back on my previous statement. Jenn and Colie may be skankier than Trishelle and Brynn from Vegas. But Kara, she was skanktastic!

    i still think tyrie is the most normal and likeable cast member, considering everyone else is really psychotically oversexed. he seems to be a victim of real world groupie syndrome more than anyone. we really have to wait to see what went down with this “altercation” cause i don’t think it’s going to pan out any more than the “nigger” episode or even brooke going psycho.

    jazelle is annoying and didnt he choose her cause ashley said she wasnt going to be around for a relationship? now tyrie has to deal with his second choice realizing she was second choice, and i dont think he’s really a wifebeater of any sort, and mtv is just playing that angle up for what else, ratings.

    “From there we go to the airport with Stephen and Alex, because Stephen’s friend Darnell is arriving today! They walk into the house and Darnell asks Stephen, “Is that your room right there?” Stephen said no, that’s the phone room. “Oh, that’s crazy,” was Darnell’s response. He also asked if the kitchen, the shower, and the toilet were Stephen’s room. I’m not too sure this isn’t actually Darnell’s first trip inside of a house, so good for him for going outside of his comfort zone. ”

    Ok Treadingonme -I was thinking the sam damn thing! What is wrong with this guy?? Oh, he wants to hit with Jenn…there’s the problem…

    Oh, I cannot wait until next week’s episode – Tyrie is a maniac! “Darc Kent” coming out!! Geez – he needs to control himself!

    I didn’t see Tyrie as being anything other than reasonably angry. Jazelle got angry because a girl with whom he used to f–k came to his table, even though he didn’t say anything to her. Then she gets mad at him, later refuses to listen to anything he said when he was actually being calm on the phone.

    Should he have tried to keep her from leaving? Hell no. And he was wrong for grabbing her arm. He should have calmend himself down, said that he’ll talk rationally and tell her if she left without talking it through, it was over. No one needs the drama.

    But I can’t blame him for being mad. He was in the right and still treated as if he was in the wrong.

    By the way: How much of this ‘big’ and ‘scary’ thing with Tyrie has to do less with his height and bulk than with his race? Let’s be real here: An angry Black man is considered the ultimate threat to most White folks, even if he has no intention of hurting anyone. You guys should look in your own hearts and ask how much of your own antipathy towards him has to do with the stereotype of the angry Black man with which you have grown up.

    You guys should look in your own hearts and ask how much of your own antipathy towards him has to do with the stereotype of the angry Black man with which you have grown up.

    With all due respect Sevenmack, my reasons for disliking Tyrie have absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that he is black. I am actually offended that I even need to justify my opinion about his behavior based the color of his skin.

    The fact that Tyrie is physically imposing, and screams at people while violating their personal space and boundaries is reason enough, in my opinion, to conclude that he has a problem expressing frustration. He goes from calm and rational, to enraged in a matter of seconds.

    Brooke is also not in control of her anger issues, and she is often inappropriate, however she is NOT physically imposing, and she does not “get in people’s faces”. She screams, and yells, and tantrums – but no one seems to think she’s capable of any real violence.

    People are scared of Tyrie. If this was an issue of prejudice, why was Jazelle so clearly scared and intimidated? Darnell and Steven were also concerned that Tyrie was getting out of control. In fact, Darnell was the first person to think intervention was necessary. Are they prejudiced against black men too?

    Just for the record, I thought Wes and Nehemiah were equally out of line and aggressive with Rachel (RW: Austin). They are both physically huge, and aggressively violated her personal space – color played no part in that they were both hostile assholes.

    I know there are racial and cultural issues and stereotypes that exist, and I know they are hurtful and ultimately damaging to all of us. I just don’t think that is the case in how most of us are reacting to Tyrie’s rages. If he were a white man I would feel exactly the same way – using physical force to intimidate and control people is just disturbing.

    Well Said Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict, the fact that Tyrie is a heavily built guy and has a booming voice is reason enough. And we’re watching from a television, I can only imagine how scary it must have been for Jazelle in the bathroom and for everyone else.

    I never understand how people can get so defensive when stererotypes are brought up to Judge a person, but in situations like this where no one has mentioned anything about race, it’s always that person that comes out of nowhere with the race card.

    Agree that the scenes seemed out of synch. Didn’t Jenn hook up with Alex twice? She made it sound like it only happened once.

    Jazalle seems like a whiner to me – not because of the screaming match with Tyrie, but because of her behavior after seeing Big Head in the bar. She seems a little too insecure, but she also seems very young.

    I agree with the poster that said that race plays a part in the judgement of Tyrie. Davis is likely to harm someone both physically and emotionally. Davis tried to get provoke Tyrie to hit him, and Tyrie refused. Even though Davis got into his face (and Colie’s too). Yet no one would call Davis scary. Tyrie’s bark is much worse than his bite; he is like a big teddy bear. I don’t think that Tyrie should have yelled at his girlfriend like that, but it happens. People need to examine why Tyrie is so “scary”.

    Treadingonme! Props to you and your first recap. Your screen shots had me ROLLING they were so funny! You also hit the nail on the head with the openeing montage….

    Keep up the good work, and don’t worry you will find your flow soon enough.

    Thoughts on this ep:

    1. Sorry, Tyrie I think Ashley has way more in the looks dept than Jazelle…and is it just me, or does Jazelle seem like a total bitch, with 0 personality? Oh well, Tyrie definatley sees more of her than the RW producers will allow so I trust him. But looks, Ashley’s got her beat.

    2. Speaking of Ashley, I thought in in a previous ep she said she was a flight attendant. What gives with the bar?

    3. Jazelle getting so upset about the Ashley thing. What’s up with that? WHO CARES, girl, he hooked up with her BEFORE you and hasn’t talked to her since! Get over it! (Unless, again, something shady was done with the editing, or Tyrie is lied and the camera didn’t catch it)

    4. I think the reason why Collie was in bed at the end, was because she had mono. Why else would she be in bed and not out deperatley clinging to Alex? Which might also explain why Jenn mentioned to her boyfriend “I hooked up with my roomie, once” when we all know it was twice……again, just more editing by MTV to create drama. I think all these events took place when they were FIRST in the house, and not much later as we have been led to beleive. Might also explain why Jazelle got so mad about the Ashley thing

    I see everyone’s point of View about Tyrie, but it seems to me that Jazelle was just looking to pick a fight. She gets mad because Ashley is there WORKING at the bar even though Tyrie didn’t even talk to her, continues to argue with him on the phone even though she’s wrong and comes to his house in the midst of the argument and then walks inside instead of away the first time he yells at her. I’ve known many a girl who has done the same stuff because they knew they’d ultimately wear their boyfriend down and he’d just apologize and she’d get the attention she so desperately needs.

    I understand her being scared because Tyrie is scary as hell, but she should have walked away at the first sign of this huge confrontation. They were both angry and drunk and there’s little to no chance of this turning out well. I really don’t think he’s the type to hit a woman.

    I think that the “Big Scary Black Man” generalization may be true for some people, but not for others. I’ll admit, unfortunately, it’s true for some people in my family (who are not tvgasm posters). But, I definately disagree with it being the ultimate fear. My ultimate fear is a serial killer, and they are usually white.

    I was thinking back to previous seasons, and I remembered when Stephen slapped Irene on the Real World Seattle. The act of hitting someone is worse than the appearance of the potential for doing it, but did anyone really find him intimidating before that moment? I realize that Stephen wasn’t large, but Cyrus was, and he wasn’t the least bit scary. He had a really layed back demeaner. For me, “black” does not equal scary, but a large person that is yelling and acting aggressivly does. Tyrie doesn’t yell all of the time, but when he gets started, he always seems to be on the brink of losing control. People that don’t know him have no way to judge how far he might go.

    Also, I agree with the person that mentioned Wes and Nehemiah getting in Rachael’s face. I thought that WES in particular was indimidating and scary in that scene. I can’t stand Wes. It’s mostly because of that episode. I couldn’t believe they devoted so much camera time to him. Okay, nevermind; I can beleive it. It’s MTV after all. I swear, Wes must love the sound of his voice more than life itself.

    Treadingnome – glad to see you took over recapping. With Surreal Life Fame Games being among the shows you’ve recapped that hardly no one watches; I laugh at those recaps and thought you were pretty funny, so I’m glad you got to step up with the Real World. Great job!

    I think part of the reason why some us don’t think the recap is especially fantastic is a.) It’s not B-Side, and b.) the fact you’re recapping halfway in and we us as posters establish a relationship if you will with the writer – inside jokes included. But I think as the weeks go on it’ll sync.

    That being said…Tyrie pissed me off this episode and yes I was surely reminded of how bad a temper he has and how big of an ego he walks around with. Although, it appeared that he was really intoxicated, just like in the beginning ep’s when he was going off on Davis. I also agree with the many who say Jazelle was being fussy about nothing really, but still Tyrie has no right to put his hands on her and talk to her that way; again though it seemed alcohol fueled.

    Cheez TVee I too thought that in Austin Wes & Nehemiah were way out of line with Rachael, I half wished I could’ve crawled into the TV and just went off on them. Although I found Rachael very annoying, she still did not deserve that from them.

    Jen was just waiting to hear something like that from Jared so she could justify her behavior. Now she doesn’t have to feel the least bit guilty, right? Sometimes it’s hard to see through your own B.S.

    Darnell wasn’t really that cute either, he seemed stuck on himself.

    Anyhow, it should be interesting to see how it all goes down next week. Like someone mentioned before it’ll probably take all of 20 seconds with the whole Tyrie thing.

    when anyone is being an asshole to someone who didnt do anything wrong to them, they deserve to get screamed at until they shut the hell up. jazelle was trying to bait tyrie to get back at him for having a girl on camera and stealing her spotlight. i thought the editing made it seem like she showed up at his place uninvited, and if thats what happened, you really have to question her motives.

    i do think that people who are saying tyrie is basically a thug and is violent are operating under biased rationale. davis is a hell of a lot more violent, the way he also tried to bait tyrie by calling him the n word. when tyrie didnt take the bait it backfired on davis. i also think he started shit with brooke not because of pj but because he saw her make out with tyrie. total racist white supremacist fucker.

    why the hell is anyone saying that jenn’s ex looks like tyrie? is that the same douchebag she called in this episode, cause if so, he isnt even african-american?is anyone on real world with even a tan considered non-white?

    as for rachel getting screamed at in austin, i just remember not liking her and seeming to think she needed to be screamed atget beyond race and gender issues, cause any human being can be a pain in the ass. i hope tyrie makes out OK.

I think Davis’ response WAS equally scary, however I also felt that HE felt boxed into a corner. Also, Davis’ response scared him as much as it scared everyone else – and he has not put himself in any situations where that might repeat itself. When Brooke threw water in his face he left, and he might easily have been able to justify a totally enraged response.

    Tyrie has a bad temper, when he wants to make a point he will use physical intimidation to try and get people to listen to him. Whether Jazelle is annoying or not (I happen to agree that she is), Tyrie DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to FORCE her to listen to him. Whether that is through verbal, psychological, emotional or physical means is immaterial – abuse is abuse. In my opinion he is riding a VERY thin line regarding that issue.

    Maybe instead of focusing on the race issue, what people should be asking themselves is this: If ANYONE treated your mother (sister, girlfriend, daughter, etc.) the way Tyrie treated Jazelle would that be OK with you? It definitely would NOT be OK with me, and I really couldn’t give a damn what color their skin is – I would hate them regardless.

    when anyone is being an asshole to someone who didnt do anything wrong to them, they deserve to get screamed at until they shut the hell up.

    Well, at least you’re as consistently ignorant and grammatically challenged over here as you are over on “The Hills” blog. Since you think screaming at someone to “shut up” is an acceptable way to communicate, I’m assuming that’s what you were taught. Sad, really sad – although it explains a lot about you. Again, NYU has fantastic counseling services for students, if you actually do go there, you should really consider getting yourself some help. You sound like someone who might be “conditioned” to think being treated badly is “normal”. Maybe that is why you try so hard to provoke everyone here, you are only able understand the effects of NEGATIVE attention. You poor thing.

    To continue what Cheez is saying to #53, much as I hate Davis, when he was arguing with Tyrie, I got to admit that he was pretty brave to not step down and argue with him face to face. Guys, in general, do not like being pushed around. So Davis decided to go all out even though there was a risk of getting beaten. (I bet you that if the cameras weren’t there, Tyrie would have beaten Davis half to death.)

    When Davis was arguing with Brooke, he could have gotten into her face just like he did with Tyrie (for the sake of his dignity and “man pride”). He didn’t. That’s because he knows that guys can’t be arguing with girls like they do with with other guys. Since most guys have bigger bodies than girls, there is an unwritten law in soceity that guys should never touch a girl while they’re arguing with them. That’s why Tyrie is being critisized to death by all who saw this episode. It is NOT because he’s black, but instead, it’s because he did that to a girl. If Alex or his friend Brett have the the same thing to jazelle or any other girl, they would have been critisized just as much as Tyrie is being critisized right now. Again, it’s not because he’s black. I just don’t understand how you and some others come to that conclusion. Am I making sense?

    you are making shit up to support your “argument” Cheezy Addict. Tyrie never gave Davis any reason to provoke him like he did. From what I saw of that episode and from what I remember (it’s been awhile since that episode aired and it feels like so much has happened since then), Tyrie got back from a night of partying and he seemed to be holding a black cigarette, which you as an addict may know is actually a blunt.

    but for those of us who think tv is much more addictive and destructive than what is typically in a blunt–it seemed like all Tyrie wanted to do was chill. not start shit. not get called a nigger by some spoiled pussy white supremacist. davis says he comes from a place where homosexuality isn’t tolerated, and communities of intolerance aren’t going to treat a black man like he is a normal rational human being (like you aren’t doing Cheesey Addict). Davis has a ton of baggage he is clearly dragging all over the country with him, and you can call me ignorant and ungrammatical all you want [it Really hurts my feelings :( ] but I’m gonna stick up for Tyrie, as are the people who agree with me that his behavior is being mislabled to construct a racist agenda.

    and your sexist views are exposed the more you attack me Cheesey. Saying that a woman, daughter, sister doesnt deserve to get yelled at because she is a woman is misogynistic. It’s implying that women are different from men so talking derogatorily to them is a worse offense than screaming at a man.

    Tyrie is sick of Jazelle’s shit. everyone came running to watch the drama go down cause a) this is the real world b) this is what happens when any drama goes down and c) tyrie is the most fascinating member of this cast. It’s obvious he wants to be rid of Jazelle so he can resume things with Ashley or even get things started with Brooke.

    How come you’re so quick to say tyrie was violating Jazelle, when I don’t recall anyone ever accusing Colie of trying to rape Alex when she was jumping all over his dick, or pulling him into her bed when he was racist. Sexual harrassment can have a woman’s face; that’s why Tyrie is right to tell it to get out of his face, however emphatically he must do so.

    when I don’t recall anyone ever accusing Colie of trying to rape Alex when she was jumping all over his dick, or pulling him into her bed when he was racist.

    I have repeatedly stated, in previous posts that E. Colie would not get away with that level of sexual aggression if she were male. Here is ONE example of what I have posted in reference to that issue:

    E. Colie’s play for Alex was actually just flat-out disturbing. The guy had just fucked Jenn, repeatedly. His friend clearly stated that Alex was NOT interested in her. Alex brought home more women, and very deliberately blew her off. So what does E. Colie do? She imposes herself into his space, then physically tries to push him into a kiss, or whatever. If a guy did that to a girl, it would have been considered inappropriate at best; intimidation or harassment at worst.

    You are not rational; your arguments hold no water; and you are also close to being illiterate as far as your spelling and ability to articulate your thoughts. NYU must have lowered their standards, because you seem to function on a 6th reading grade level.

    I’m not interested in having further dialogue with you. Your activity on “The Hills”, and on this board is immature, and designed to create negative controversy – you need to find other outlets for your attention-craving behavior.

    i am not the only person who has drawn the conclusions that i drew with my preceding comments. you were ad-homineming people who said the same things i did, but you have some sick fascination with me and the fact that i go to nyu. nothing you just said applied to anything i said; you did not make some prior comment about colie that is like what i’m saying about colie. if this board was for light discourse, as you’re telling me it is while you’re telling me i’m too serious, how dare you go and psycho-analyze me on it because you’re too stupid to formulate a counterpoint to my point!

    you’re one of those nyword haters from the hills who said i shouldnt think im so great cause nyu isnt even that great. now you’re saying nyu lowered its standards. that’s really funny, when the argument i used to rebut your misogynistic whining was one i learned in my sex and gender class.

    it’s really funny on this board that the same people who slam these tv personalities for their behavior like they’re supposed to be saints then turn around and attack commentators on personal levels that they have absolutely no business doing. once upon a time the hills haters were accusing me of being emily from nyu, like my comments were guided by me being her; then i flipped it all on you by making everyone know clearly who exactly i am (a descendant of cleo and marc a, but definitely not emily!)

    when you can’t present legitimate analysis even in light discourse, you prove it by resorting to the common denominator, which is to attack your opponent and not their opinion. shut the fuck up, and that’s a scream in your face, cause this is something called “America,” not “Entertainment,” and the only entity that can put a leash on nyword is the owner of this site, not some shmuck who has the same exact right to be here and to opine as i do!

    When Tyrie and Davis got into an argument,Davis was the one who was not in control. Tyrie should not have started yelling at Davis, but then he cooled down, and Davis kept the fight going. The other roommates were on Tyrie’s side, especially Colie. If someone got in my face and called me “nigger”, I can guarantee that I wouldn’t have behaved as calmly as Tyrie did. Jazelle is an insecure bitch who was trying to make Tyrie seem like he was harming her. The person that said that Colie is more agressive than Tyrie is completely right. Jenn gets into people’s faces and assults them verbally. Just because Tyrie is large, does not mean he is more dangerous than anybody else. I actually think that Tyrie is less likely to cause harm than Colie, who keeps trying to molest Alex!

    Tyrie was way out of line for grabbing his gf like that. I don’t care if he is black or white, he is a big guy, and it is very scary to have someone screaming in your face. He could have pulled her arm out of the socket the way he yanked her. As far as the Tyrie/Davis fight, Tyrie was getting extremely upset and yelling at Davis. He was not sitting back smoking a blunt as someone else said. You may need to watch the episode again.

    Tyrie was mad at Davis that night because Stephen was called a nigger at the bar and was denied entry. I dont know about all the white supremacists on this board, but that’s gonna piss off anyone whose ancestors were slaves, or anyone in general who believes slavery is wrong.

    Apparently certain commentators need to take out their aggression from their “school and work lives” on tv personalities, but don’t be surprised or play armchair therapist when non racists, non bigots, defend the actions of the people you are attacking!

    when davis was called a faggot in a bar by some redneck, tyrie was the only person defending him, and i seem to remember his big black self scaring the shit out of the homophobe in that circumstance. only tyrie could have avenged davis honor, and it takes a really BIG person to do that when Davis is the same one who called him a nigger.

    Sticks and stones may break your bones….this board is populated by a hella lot of people who can dish the abuse but they can’t take it. And they fall straight into the hands of Real World producers who are building the drama in this episode up to get ratings!

    I dont want to argue with anyone here or take it anywhere else. People who are apparently unsatisfied with their lives have followed me to this board from the Hills, and like I’ve already said, no one has any right to harrass and abuse someone who is expressing their opinion on a blog. Trolls may be doing this cause they hate their miserable 9-5 lives, but like I said, I’m proud to defend Tyrie, I won’t stop, and I encourage everyone who was defending him as well before certain people (the real Nazis) came out swinging.

    I think we all agree that the editing and timeline of this episode was way jacked.

    Primero, I’m not here to defend tyrie’s actions. he should be aware, as a physically imposing guy, that he is able to intimidate people by getting in their faces and getting loud. But¦¦jazalle DID seem like an immature, insecure chick that was trying to create more drama than necessary.* Her cousin even confirmed her dramatic nature when talking to stephen and his friend. If you want to pick a fight with your guy over some dumb “ish”, go right ahead. But for someone to make the statement “you’re scaring me when you yell” in the middle of an argument with your significant other casts the (unfair, IMO) impression that there is some history of violence there. fact is, many peple have the tendency to yell when pissed.

    One would think that if tyrie REALLY had been violent with her in the past: a) jazzy wouldn’t have been stomping over to (and into) his house to start a confrontation when they’re both pissed off and drunk, b) mtv would have hopped on it sooner and splashed it all over a screen near you, and c) he would have been kicked off the show. I’m a woman, but even though both of them were yelling, i wasn’t disturbed in the least by their argument until tyrie backed jazalle into the corner of the bathroom and wouldn’t let her out and pushed jen out of the way as she tried to intervene.

    I agree that he was TOTALLY out of line to do this. I’m just wondering why jazzy chose those particular words (“you scare me”) instead of something else, especially since she made a beeline into the house after he yelled and yanked her the first time. Not exactly the way to show your fear, but pretty effective at broadcasting drama.

    All funky editing aside, obviously mtv agrees that tyrie’s bark is worse than his bite, b/c even after these early incidents (him raging at davis and jazalle) they still let him continue on the show.

    He just needs to calm the f down and stop getting all in people’s personal space when he’s pissed and drunk.

    *disclaimer: this in no way means that she deserves to be abused in any form or fashion. (pre-emptive move to divert the blog-bashing that might ensue from me exercising my right to free speech, LOL)

    NYword-You amaze me with your stupidity. When Tyrie was pissed off the first time at Davis, he was mad because he thought Davis did not have Stephen’s back when someone called him the N word. He got himself all worked up before Davis could explain that he didn’t hear someone call Stephen that. Yes Davis was wrong to call Tyrie the N word but I think most people, myself included are talking about how crazy Tyrie was acting BEFORE Davis called him the N word. I don’t think anyone on this board is saying otherwise. I don’t know how many times it needs to be said that big guys screaming in girls faces=intimidation as well as Big guys grabbing a woman’s arm forcefully=WRONG Someone has already brought up Wes doing that to Rachel on the Austin season. Is it that you are blind and can’t read that, or are you just too stupid to comprehend?

    I would agree with anyone that what Tyrie was wrong if he’d actually been the aggressor in this circumstance. He was not, Jazelle was, and you are all using closeted sexism to defend her and excoriate him. (which makes the “race card” force itself.)

    no one had a problem with Jenn getting in Alex’s face and screaming at him. what he said to her that provoked her abuse was certainly rude, but it wasn’t coming from out of nowhere. she was cockteasin him and he called her on it, and instead of owning up to her self-professed sexiness/sexuality, she blamed him for essentially raping her! until that moment of getting in his face and raging at him, i dont recall jenn even mentioning that having sex with alex was a mistake.

    now jazelle comes along, and she’s obviously not cute enough to have gotten on the real world the way Tyrie did. she is being a drama queen just like jenn was cause the camera is in her face. period. this forthcoming episode will prove you are all making a mountain out of a molehill for Tyrie….which i agree with Tyrie sympathizers is because of what you call “the race card.”

    With all that said, I do think it’s interesting that Tyrie is so “scary.” He’s big and black . . .people are often afraid of things that are big and black. However, I do think that if Tyrie was big and white, people would still be threatened by him as well.

    Looks like NYWord was right, and AC isn’t the only one who agrees with me.

    Tyrie DID NOT PROVOKE DAVIS. As I explicated by comparing that situation to the exact reversal of it when Davis was being verbally harrassed and threatened….DAVIS DID NOT DEFEND STEPHEN. Someone being called a nigger is only a nothing occurence for people like Cheese and Fatty (aka rolepole)…who gives a crap about your opinions but you?

    MTV did exactly what I said it do and the producers and network must be laughing all the way to the bank when they read these posts and see how racist certain viewers are! I am proud to have AC agreeing with me because someone has to stick up for Tyrie. It’s amazing how in this modern world there are still people who want to whitewash everything.

    If Tyrie hadn’t stuck up for Davis he would’ve gone the way of Matthew Shepherd. And if he hadnt freaked out on his roommate for not protecting another roommate, it would send a clear signal to that community that the Denver locals can call the African American cast Niggers.

    What a disgusting statement from a coward who doesn’t even want to own it.

    Tyrie started the fight with Davis without even knowing what actually happened. Davis was not responsible for the actions of a drunken racist in a bar. That is NOT to say Davis wasn’t responsible for his own drunken racism, however the fight that TYRIE started, started well BEFORE that happened.

    You’re both abusing the board, especially NYword. I seriously think you have severe mental problems and are in need of help.

    “Tyrie DID NOT PROVOKE DAVIS.”…Do you even know what provoke means? cause if you did, you wouldn’t have said that. Provoke is like to instigate. To make someone angry. How can you say Tyrie didn’t provoke Davis? Do you honestly think Davis wouldve got into Ty’s face if Ty hadn’t called him out? Yeah, Davis left Stephen. So that’s how Davis “provoked” Ty to get all crazy? First of all, Davis was feeling drunk. That’s a good excuse to leave a bar. Stephen overreacted and cried to Ty saying Davis left him (how much of a pussy is he?), and Ty thinks it’s an excuse to get into someones face?

    Sorry Rock Star, you were right. I actually forgot about Jamie on that season. She was also cool and mellow, and so was Cameran for the most part. Mea Culpa.

    Robin (truly a racist bitch, especially if you saw the last “Challenge” – inexusable!), Brad, Randy, Frankie – ALL NUTS though (I actually kind of like Brad though, he’s pretty funny.)

    My posts seem to really annoy you, maybe you should just ignore them.

    The only Real World guys I’ve found attractive have been Tyrie and Johnny Bananas. I wouldn’t however actually date anyone who has been on reality tv because I had a roommate who partied with RW/RRers on prior spring breaks, which is weird enough. I think it was CT she hooked up with, which is definitely disturbing. WHen she told me at the time I didnt even know who he was, but thanks to his recent appearances on the challenges I’ve come to see what a wolf in sheep’s clothing he is.

    Tyrie and JB are definitely my kind of dudes though because they both speak their minds and take the show for what it is. I loved how JB told off Tyler last season because he was the only one who could dish back to Tyler what he so cruelly and callously gave back. Why can’t anyone talk about the positive aspects of these people- the ones who do have good qualities?

    That’s my list for the hottest RW dudes. I really cant remember anyone from the past being as funny and full of good vibes as Tyrie and Johnny Bananas though. No wonder Paula Walnuts was always freaking out on him. She totally wanted to jump those bones.

    I do have to say that Wes has potential however. I loved how he told off CT about Diem, “why don’t I fake date someone to win?” That almost made up for the fact he dogged Wren for Johanna. I dont see any reason why he’d chose to marry her over such a pretty girl as Wren other than he has some weird thing with Danny where they feel obligated to make “real women” out of some of their RW cast mates….

    NYWORD, ya heard

    Whatever, I didn’t see your response because you posted it on a different page. Your comments do annoy me, but you respond to other people’s comments that annoy you, so how are you going to tell me to ignore yours?

    No, I didn’t like LagunaConsultant’s first recap of The Hills. Yes, I miss B-side. And yes, I thought this first recap was GREAT!

    I like the play-by-play mixed with some personal commentary. Don’t change a thing. Not everyone has seen the freakin’ episode, Cootie’s cooter. By definition, a recap is a..well, RECAP of what happened. If you want personal commentary, that’s what forums and message boards are for.

    Cheez #49:
    “The fact that Tyrie is physically imposing, and screams at people while violating their personal space and boundaries is reason enough, in my opinion, to conclude that he has a problem expressing frustration. He goes from calm and rational, to enraged in a matter of seconds.

    Brooke is also not in control of her anger issues, and she is often inappropriate, however she is NOT physically imposing, and she does not “get in people’s faces”. She screams, and yells, and tantrums – but no one seems to think she’s capable of any real violence. ”

    I think this is what Sevenmack was referring to in his #48 post. Yes, Tyrie is a pretty big dude, but why is his yelling (after some justifiable provocation) MORE threatening than Brooke’s unjustifiable “tantrums?” She has gone off way more than anyone in this house, with the throwing things around, yelling, cursing, etc. for what reason? Because someone told her to clean up after herself. But everyone here seems to think her behavior is so adorable and funny. Why? Because she’s a white girl who weighs less than 200 lbs? Size doesn’t matter when it comes to violent tempers. Let’s remember just who has a prescription for manic depression here. Hint: It’s not Tyrie.

    And why does it seem like so many roommates have had beef with Tyrie based on some misunderstanding – mainly THEM thinking he’s threatening them when he’s still calm. After they drunkenly jump in his face, THEN he starts to get mad because he feels they’re not listening to him or they’re jumping to conclusions about him. How come no one notices how many times Tyrie has stepped in to calm down a situation (e.g. the Davis “nigger” incident happened as a result of Tyrie standing up for Stephen and trying to play mediator)?

    Also, notice how many posters in here have made comments like “I didn’t like him from the beginning. I should’ve trusted my instincts, because look at him now. He’s so ANGRY!” Um, what? You didn’t like him from the beginning? Without evidence? Isn’t that the very definition of prejudice? Because he made some JOKES about having an alter ego? At least he’s never rationalized away acting slutty (Alex, Jenn), verbally abusive (Jenn), stupid (Alex, Jenn, Colie, Stephen), or racist (Davis, Jenn) because he’s drunk!

    I’m so tired of the angry black man storyline, Real World editors. And I’m REALLY tired of white people’s subconscious fears of the angry black man. Yes, Tyrie was wrong to yank Jazelle’s arm like that to get her to listen. Because of his size, he IS more physically threatening than someone smaller. HOWEVER, I imagine being in that house is very stressful and he has handled himself, overall, with much more humor than the rest of the housemates. How many times has he said “I forgive you for ____” to his roommates after they unfairly started shouting at him and cursing him out? I bet no one felt “threatened” when Davis GOT IN TYRIE’S “PERSONAL SPACE” TO TAUNT HIM AND ACCUSE HIM OF WANTING TO HIT DAVIS. Why is that? I agree with Sevenmack. You Tyrie-haters really need to ask yourselves why Tyrie’s anger is so much more “threatening” than a white man or a white woman’s anger? That fear is the same thing that cops (with tasers, billy clubs, and guns) claim to have when they’re dealing with an unarmed black man. It’s also the reason those same cops give for shooting said unarmed black man FOURTY-NINE times.

    Brooke’s email and MySpace have been hacked into by some evil a..hole. Please disregard anything inappropriate you see..it wasn’t her.
