It’s vacation week on the Real World, and I was hoping that it would live up to some of the past Real World vacations. How could you forget Wes pretending to be Prince
William, and the mention of the name causing a stupid fight between Danny and Melinda? Or how could you forget, uh, last season’s vacation. Ok, that one was pretty boring. But with so much to do in Taiwan, I mean Thailand, this week would have to be interesting right? Especially after the past few weeks had been so boring. There’s so much intrigue. Will Colie give out BJ’s left and right? How many people can Jenn find to make out with? Will Alex finally profess his undying love for Colie before a romantic sunset? Your answers: Yes, 13, fucking of course not. Find out what else happened after the jump.
This week the episode started off with the crew arriving at the airport in Thailand. We see various shots of Bangkok, and then they arrive at their hotel for the evening. While they were en route to the hotel, Brooke asked if they’d been traveling for three days. No, two days. No, less than two days. Brooke is above dealing with time zones apparently. And international date lines. Anyways, shortly after getting to the hotel, Brooke gets out a phone and calls her mom. Immediately you can tell that Brooke is skeptical about this trip. But, she hates everything she hasn’t already done, so that’s no surprise.

“Mom? HEEEEEELLLPPP!!!!”
Twelve hours later, Colie is getting a snake placed around her neck. Alex also had a snake put around his neck, and then a snake was placed around both Colie and Davis. This snake had the misfortune into Colie’s nether-regions, and she screamed “There’s a snake in my vagina.” That snake was slithering in the footsteps of many, many men, and probably a few animals.

What’s one more snake up there?
There are more cultural shots of Bangkok, and then they all take a boat out to Koh Phangan, and their resort is beautiful, which makes Brooke appear to feel better about the trip. After they’ve been there awhile, everyone goes swimming, and Colie is doing so topless. Alex tells us that he wishes Colie would just cover everything up, and I second his opinion. Jenn then goes topless as well, and Steve says he likes what he sees. This is coming shortly after being told that Jenn and Stephen have become much closer friends recently.

Girls day out
While everyone is still hanging out at the pool, Colie and Davis wandered out a little ways into the ocean. Brooke said she was nervous about jellyfish stings and sharks, and Davis told her to shut up. Wait, that was me. He actually told her to stop worrying, and then, guess what, Brooke got stung by a jellyfish (allegedly). We went to commercial seeing Davis carry Brooke in. So, if you’re keeping track at home, the only thing of interest before the first commercial break was the actual arrival in Thailand. And that is it.

Someone’s been snooping through the International Male Catalogue!
Back from commercial, everyone was making fun of Brooke. Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks Brooke is annoyingly scared of everything. Eventually everyone walks out to meet Brooke and Davis, who are now at the edge of the water, and, uh, speaking of covering things up Alex. While I agreed with him, he is in no position to judge Colie while he’s wearing that swimsuit. Brooke asks if she should pee on her foot, and everyone gladly volunteers to help her out instead, with Alex specifically wanting to pee on her the most. So Alex pees on her, and then I guess it’s Colie’s turn. Now that’s just sexy. Gross! I mean gross!!

Crackin’ one case at a time
Once Brooke has been sufficiently peed on, everyone heads back to the pool. Brooke tells us that Jenn and Steve are now flirting more, which seems oddly placed in the middle of this episode, but whatever. Later, Colie asks a waiter when the food they ordered is coming, and Alex goes into some lecture about not speaking to someone that way. We didn’t actually see it happen though, so I assume the editors chose to edit out the actual incident to make it seem like it was a bigger deal than it was. Regardless, Alex told her to shut up and he walked away, leaving Brooke and Colie to bitch about how much of a jerk he is. Then Colie went to sleep with him. Maybe that last part didn’t happen.
That night there’s some party on the beach. Or, more specifically, there are probably a lot of parties on the beach all the time, but the Real Worlders went to one specifically. There was some sort of fire-walking setup, which is a tradition in Thailand. Brooke says if she did Outward Bound, she can do fire-walking. Not really sure I agree with her logic, but her, Jenn and Colie all go through holding hands and probably risking severe burns by doing so. Hooray female bonding! Later on, Colie sees a group of Australian dudes and goes to talk to them, and she sounds like she’s wasted. She’s also wearing a see-through dress, which, while in the dark may not be a bad idea, but in any sort of lighted area would be. I was cursing the lights on the cameras.

The Snake Pit
She takes one of the Australians home and has sex with him, and no one can go to bed. Brooke says it’s typical Colie, it’s kind of sad and she’s sick of having to see it. If I’m this sick of seeing Colie having sex, I can’t imagine how sick Brooke must be of it. This is one situation where she’s more than justified of feeling IN HELL!!!

Too bad Australian guys are built to last.
The next morning, Alex, Ty, Brooke and Colie are sitting together at lunch or something and Colie said that she liked the Australian guys. It was nice of her to inform everyone, in case they couldn’t tell she liked them from the sex she had. Colie said she had fun last night, and Alex said they could hear it. “Hear what?” “The fun.” “What are you talking about?” That’s right Colie, deny the loud sex, it’s not like there’s proof that EVERYONE HEARD IT. Colie then tells us that she doesn’t appreciate Alex butting into her life. Yeah, how dare he, overhearing sex like that. What a jerk. He was so out of line. She’ll just have to have more loud sex again tonight. That’ll show him.
Later that day, everyone goes snorkeling, and surprise! Brooke is nervous about it. Everyone jumps in, but Brooke goes in slowly, and it takes convincing by the person on the boat for her to go in. Probably about 5 minutes after everyone else got in, Brooke finally got in the water, saying how beautiful it was. Of course, she still hadn’t looked under water, so Ty got her to do that. Look at how strong of a person Brooke is; she’s conquering all sorts of fears! Especially the ludicrous ones.

Who’s the biggest ass here?
Apparently Colie and Davis got drunk while they were on the boat before or after (or both) snorkeling, and now Colie is acting pretty obnoxious. She’s actually sloppy drunk. Very sloppy. Following snorkeling, everyone rides elephants, and Ty does not enjoy the ride very much. When they got off the elephants, there was some sort of waterfall. Everyone was hanging out, and Colie dropped her backpack (because she’s so drunk) into the water, which lands on some rocks (like two feet below). She goes to get it, but slips down the rocks. No one is concerned, again, because she’s crazy drunk. She even mentions that her toe is “gushing” blood, and you couldn’t see any from the camera. Way to not be melodramatic.

Call House!
Right after that, Brooke slipped and smacked her tailbone on the rocks, and immediately starts howling in pain. She complains that it’s the worst pain she’s ever felt, which I thought was how she also described the jellyfish sting. Regardless, she obviously does not have a high tolerance for pain, because she appeared to be fine. However, Colie was pissed. Her fall was eclipsed by Brooke’s fall mere minutes later. Why can’t everyone just focus all of their attention on Colie at all times? Come on people! Love her! Accept her! Alex tells us that now he basically just doesn’t like Colie, and Colie is trying to pick a fight with him as they’re on their way back to the resort. She just ends up looking like a drunk fool though, so I guess that was the theme of the day.
That night is the final night in Koh Phangan, so they’re all getting crazy on the beach again. Once again, Colie is shitcanned, and she’s with the Australians again. There isn’t much stalling before she takes the same dude back to her room. Giggety. Jenn and Brooke are walking home, and Jenn is pissed, but she says it’s ok that Colie is having sex because she needs ass. Brooke disagrees, and says Colie needs reassurance that she’s an ok person, and she finds it through sex. Damn, that’s some pretty impressive psychoanalysis from Brooke. I mean, it’s obvious to all of us, but she still nailed it.
Anyways, the next morning Stephen tells us that this was really the last hurrah for everyone since they’ll have less than a week together when they get back. Thank God. As the episode ends, everyone is riding back on a boat to Bangkok and Brooke gets a little seasick into a plastic bag. Apparently she’s too classy for over the side puking. Coincidentally, this episode also made me want to puke, so I know how she feels.

I barfed at the same time! Jinx! Brooke owes me a Coke!
So that was how the episode ended. What did you think? Will you be glad when this season’s over? Was this one of the most boring vacation episodes ever? Did Brooke get bigger boobs to conquer her fear of getting big boobs?
And don’t forget to watch the After Show to see Saul insult the lucky cast member joining him which they don’t understand.
If you like it, spread it!:

Wes was pretending to be Prince Harry. Danny and Melinda did fight about Prince William though.
Now, I shall go and finish the recap
*this is NOT a spoiler, because it was on all weekend, but you may not want to read it*
Did anyone watch the Cram Session 2? There is supposed to be a surprising hook up. My guess is Stephen and Jen.. you can tell it’s Stephen, but the girl is hard to make out. After this ep, I’m convinced it’s Jenn. Wonder what her boyfriend thinks of that.
Not to mention what Mercii thinks of it.
Way to kiss ass, Saul!
I think it’s hillarious that Brooke (at least when she was psychoanalyzing Colie) is smarter when she’s drunk. And that she thought just floating on the water was “Beautiful!” And that she got to see “the bottom of the ocean”. This. Girl. Is. Ridiculous.
One of Colie’s lines “I’m drunk in a bikini sitting on an elephant. It’s just one of those things I’ll never forget” Ok maybe that wasn’t an exact quote but something like that. Way to soak up the experience, I’m glad that being drunk in a bikini in Thailand is way cooler than being drunk in a bikini in Denver.
And I agree that see through dress was HO-RRIBLE! And I didn’t think Colie could gross me out more than when she has her bird’s nest on her head, but curly haired drunk Colie is perhaps the most offensive thing I’ve ever seen. No, curly haired drunk Colie in a bikini all bloated is the most offensive thing I’ve ever seen, and I got my fill of it this episode.
I think Colie far surpasses Jen in the slut category as well. At least Jen admits what she does(except to her boyfriend) but Colie tries to act like se doesn’t do anything which worse.
Whos ass did I kiss?
That’d be Brooke’s. And Melinda’s. I realize we must be nice in real life, but, you really layered it on there… you are a poor representation of the TVGasm spirit
Just kidding, sort of.
“Call House”~~~~~~U r priceless. Love your recap always.
…you know you’re sloppy when Jenn is calling you out. I seriously thought Colie had reached a plateau on the annoying meter. I agree with g-child up there… Jenn is way better than Colie.
Tyrie has been MIA the last couple of episodes. Too bad, he, Alex, and Steven always have the best commentary
I know this might sound really lame, but I feel so proud of Brooke every time she conquers one of her rediculous fears. I know she’s afraid of everything, but just her willingness to do things she normally would not and her open mindedness is inspiring to me.
Colie is so gross… I don’t think she has any idea how she makes herself look. And I hate to say it, but yeah she needs to cover it up. It’s not so much the way her body looks but rather how she carries herself and what she wears. UGHHH
Honestly, I don’t really like to judge girls for hooking up with randoms or whatever, because… well, stuff happens and I feel like it’s better to overlook some slightly slutty decision making from time to time. That being said, Colie is disgusting. She has, if memory serves me correctly, had sex OF SOME KIND in at least half of the episodes. That. is. gross. It’s not because she’s a girl, either… if one of the boys had hooked up with like 8 people, I would think they were disgusting also. GET SOME SELF RESPECT.

I dunno—not sure if I buy it. It’s the typical end-of-Real World panic. They act like divas/assholes the entire season, then towards the end, they start realizing how shitty they are going to look. Suddenly many start cranking up the charm, actually being productive, or having these major personal epiphanies that give the appearance of personal growth or having come to terms with their previous bullshit. Sometimes it seems real, but other times, it just seems like damage control.
Help. My boyfriend watches random clips here and there of The Real World, and the other night he said Colie was hot!! Eeew!!
I tried to explain just how vile she is, and he was like no, she’s hot, end of story. If that wasn’t bad enough, we were watching that weird Road Ruley hybrid show….and he thought Kina was hot as well!!!
What am I supposed to do now?
hahah…..awww Sardini i’m sorry. hehe..that’s funny though.
colie is disgusting….she just looks dirty. she can just be sitting there doing nothing and still find a way to look dirty. i wish someone would just say that to her on the show!! it’s understandable to have a guy pee on someone’s foot to get rid of a jellyfish sting…….but a girl doing it? would you want some girl squatting over your foot? c’mon now. whoever ends up dating her after this season is over is sick, seriously.
Brooke is funny…..she has problems with everything. I love how at the last scene when they’re all on the boat just quiet and chillen out and all of sudden Brooke pukes. it’s like, ‘oh Brookie!’
