Not to Parisa either, who says that it took them six weeks to get where they are. "Like, she doesn't know what makes Dunbar tick, you know what I mean?" No, cause weren't they talking about Ashli? And hello obsessive crush, I've missed you! "That's why I think Dunbar knows not to mess with her, kind of, cause he sees already...," she continues, desperately looking to KA for agreement. No dice though, KA thinks Dumby finds Ashli attractive.
And back to Dumby and Ash in the house. He asks her if she's heard enough about him, she tells him yes and to go away. Then she giggles and ducks her head over her shoulder. Oh, perhaps the dumb-is-adorable stamp is the one she covets after all. Dumby tells us he thinks Ashli is attracted to him. Of course, isn't every woman on earth? Bad teeth and acne totally rock my world.
"She's exactly Julie's body type, that's what I just realized," Parisa muses, chewing on her lip nervously. Two Julies? How to combat that? She and KA don't think Dumby would do anything. Or that Ashli would. Clearly they missed the show inside, but Trasha's never one to miss out on gossip, especially about another girl, so perhaps she'll bring them up to speed later. Ashli on a chaise with a fake giggle and a cute head move? Dolls, we have ourselves an evil plan.
Bwahahahahahah!
Actually, KA looks a bit nervous at this Ashli news too, which I don't understand at first, but then I remember her whoring it up with Dumby in the hot tub on the first night, and you know KA's the kind of girl who doesn't want him, but doesn't want anyone else to have him either. Julie's grandfathered in though, cause she had him first....soooo lucky!
When we meet again, it's at the Contiki offices. This job seems like the most fun Real World "job" ever, but it's a bit dull to watch. And I have spoken too soon, cause right then, Contiki boss Sara tells them she's splitting them into two teams to finish the assignment of designing the Sydney tour. The first team is Isaac, Parisa and Trash - Parisa and Trash together...talk about a dream team. The second team is Ash, Dumby, KA and Cow. Neat, like one big double date!
Trasha and Cow are the team leaders. Sara clarifies that the teams are in competition to win "And when that team wins...", says Ashli. Thank you for getting it, Ash. The prize is a trip to Europe. On the tasteful and elegantly decorated Contiki tour bus, no doubt. But the roomies are thrilled. KA's only ever been to Mexico before this, and that was a really big deal!
Aww, small town can be cute sometimes.
Trasha's pretty excited about the assignment. Isaac is fun, Parisa is responsible, and as for Trash, well she's fun AND responsible! And nice and bubbly and outgoing and not at all self deluded! KA knows the other team's got it over them too. She tells us she hopes they send her a postcard. Keep it up, tiger, that's the fighting spirit!
At first I was thinking Trasha in charge may not go over so well with Marge, but then she tells us she's actually looking forward to working with her, just two girls to rekindle their friendship. Rekindling would imply that there was ever some friendship in the first place, but comments like that can only lead to a big fight, so I say keep 'em coming!
Very well, say the editors, as we then see Trash and Parisa talking about how they were going to kick the other teams' ass as they hit Subway - hey, will that be on the Contiki tour? Subway, seems like such a great way to soak up the Aussie experience. I mean, not as good as the Thai Express chain restaurant, but still, just a step away from exotic local dishes like fried croc or kangaroo.
...ending with a lovely day of shopping at the GAP.
That night, storm clouds are brewing over Sydney and Isaac's dejectedly shuffling through the house. Dumby notes that Isaac's been acting somber all day. Isaac reminds us of the black bird acid flashback premonition, checks his email, and sure enough his Grandpa died.
Isaac takes Noirin out for drinks, and shares. His grandfather was a wonderful man, he tells her. This is sad and I can't say anything mean about it. Noirin is the only one Isaac feels close enough to talk to about. She's his person right now, he tells her. Noirin deserved that upgrade from Irish slut to girlfriend. She's listens. She's a sweetheart.

Recap's so much better when it isn't Parisa-centric.
I haven't seen the show in awhile, but it seems like over half the original cast of the show will be gone next week. How long has it been since filming started at this point?
I like Isaac. Kinda cute, funny AND psychic? Dreamy.

I can't wait for Trasha to get kicked out.

It's nice to see someone like Isaac on Real World. He's not so predictable. He has layers. You kinda get the feeling his roomates barely know the guy.

recap was too easy on Ashli. I hate that chick. They couldn't have cast someone a little less out of the dumb sheltered white girl mold.

Bakismaki, I totally agree with you. Ashli should have been on Real World: Whore Island. That little stunt she pulled coming up in between Greer and Dunbar was ridiculously childish and bitchy. HATE.
Can't wait to see the throwdown between WWJD and Marge.

I am also on the "We hate Asli" bandwagon. Ashli with an i. Psh!
The good thing is that there will still be someone left to hate now that circus tits went back to Sac Town and Bible Thumps-On-Your-Head goes home soon. But the up-coming fight isn't all that serious. C'mon people, have you NOT seen the last epi of Tila Tequila!?! That shit was the catfight to end all catfights.
Loves it when Trash tells whomever that she "hit a fat girl"...hahahaha! I saw her walking away from the camera during the epi that circus tits left and Trashy is hauling a big trailer back there. Bitch needs a commercial trucker's license or she gone get pulled the fuck over. And those little cheesy thighs were rubbing together something fierce. Good thing no dry brush was near cause Australia would have gone the way of So Cal. Oh, Trash, bless your heart.

ChickBomb, I have never seen an episode of Real World Sydney, but I faithfully read every one of your recaps. You had me hooked when Rock of Love was on :) I totally miss the trashtastickness of that show!

Hey Chickbomb,
Would you hate Dumby less if he was from New York, L.A., Chicago and missed being home? Just something I've noticed about people from bigger cities is that someone from ur Town, USA is a total fing loser, non-worldly closeminded jerk if they want to move back to home but if they never leave their block in Brooklyn then it is okay.

Ashli is really annoying and I honestly don't think she is that pretty. She's kinda weird looking in fact. I've lived in Australia before and there just are a lot of Americans. Lots of students study abroad there and probably heard the Real World was taping so they made sure to go to those bars. Aussie's probably couldn't care less!

"KA looks a bit nervous at this Ashli news too..., and you know KA's the kind of girl who doesn't want him, but doesn't want anyone else to have him either."
I don't think KellyAnne is that type of gal. I'd be interested in hearing why ChickBum thinks so. She didn't look nervous, and I doubt she would care.
"Aww, small town can be cute sometimes."
Aww, a false sense of superiority can be cute sometimes. mattypopo might agree?
"Isaac is fun, Parisa is responsible, and as for Trash, well she's fun AND responsible! And nice and bubbly and outgoing and not at all self deluded!"
Hahahaha... So funny!
"He says he knows nothing's better than what he has with her, but it's hard. I don't know if that was a pun intended "hard" or not..."
Again... LOL... Hilarious!
I agree with blahblah, ajkc41 and bakismaki. I love Isaac! I agree with yankeesfan, uglycutie, bakismaki and DP Hooker. I hate Ashli. It's like Coral said: If you beat another girl out for a guy, it means you're SLUTTIER not better than the other girl.
Good job, ChickBomb.

Thank God other people hate Ashli!!! I seriously thought I was alone on that one because I just cannot stand that girl. She is yet another girl who embodies everything I dislike in girls. Between her and Trasha, I just don't even know what to think about the real world casting anymore. And I actually kind of agree that KA is that girl who while she may not want the guy, she doesn't want anyone else to like him either. Actually, I don't like KA because I think she's that girl who is in the group of "cool girls", but only because she's the biggest lemming ever. From the grilled cheese fight when she just nodded like a crazy person after being asked if Parisa catered to the guys to the upcoming episode where she and Ashli are taunting Parisa.
I watched the Coral vision thing and realized how much I miss Coral because FINALLY someone comes in with the exact opinion I have of these kids. I don't really know why MTV has been hyping this "girl fight" up because #1 Vanessa & Brandi's fight was the girlfight to watch and #2 MTV aired the episode and really, the fight was kind of whack, but at least Trasha is going home.
And to end this ridiculously long comment, I adore Isaac!

Another Ashli hater here. God what a bitch! She's the kind of girl I hate and I Don't really think she's that cute, her head is weird and so are her eyes. As for Greer, I can't believe she backed down, she should've just punched her and make her think twice about doing that again to anybody else. Ugh, so far the only girl I like this season is Parisa and she's kind of pathetic.Come back Isaac!!
