Welcome back to the Real World Brooklyn. It's over. There's boxes, packing tape and mopey music. It's really over. I'm still not sure what happened. I'm pretty sure nothing, and that's why I can't remember any of it. The roomies talk about how sad they are to leave. Groundbreaking leaving the Real World stuff, and we've got an hour of this to go.
Ryan meets with some of his army buddies and talks about the upcoming mission. It's a new platoon and Ryan's excited to teach the new soldiers all his tricks. His buddies understand what he's going through, and Ryan tells us and everyone that he always makes the best of the situation.
Some other time, in the morning, JD, Scotty, Baya and Devyn are eating breakfast outside of the city. Scotty informs us that he, Baya and Dev will be living together in New York and he's really excited about it. What can I say? Is there something interesting about this that I'm somehow missing?
Hey! It's the final episode! Baya how bout you, I dunno, DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING.
Oh, here's something. Whitebread Baya's looking for a three or four bedroom. In Manhattan. Good planning already! They head into the city, but not before Ryan makes everyone promise to meet up for dinner. I guess it's the last night in the house? Nobody's telling us anything. Anyway, Ryan's dinner kind of falls apart. JD has to work and the rest of them are late because they're apartment hunting. We don't even get to see them looking at apartments, which is a real shame cause the looks on their faces when they see what actual, non-MTV sanctioned apartments look like in the big city might have actually been entertaining.
When Scotty finally shows up at the dinner, there's a fight. Wooo hooo, heaven only knows how many weeks of this, and finally there's a fight. You know who's responsible for this, right? It's our old pal Sneaky PA! He's been laying low since the perfectly orchestrated love note scandal in Sydney - oh, he knew we were on to him. But clearly, there was no choice here. There was only one man to give this dud one last resuscitating breath before we call it a season.
So, they're all at dinner and Sarah's got her Aunt Jemima do-rag on. Chet's in his horn rims. There's some cheesy, touristy looking guys who are taking up space at the hallowed, reserved Real World table. Scotty asks them to move down, and next thing you know, Chet's "getting ready" and then there's a fight. All I see is Ryan kicking ass, cause he's the soldier.
The thing lasts like three seconds, and then the roomies are kicked out of the bar. Well, finally. Someone kicked out. Not counting JD and the bodega, although that sure was some terrific drama. Remember Brielle or Brianna the stripper from Hollywood and how she kicked like twelve dudes asses on the sidewalk? Real World Brooklyn, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Let's get home for a victory bang!
All Chet can do is talk about how "did you see me punch that one guy", while team player Ryan, who did the real ass kicking tells him "we all nailed it!" Then Chet muses that he feels so much closer to his roomies now. Well, of course. Sneaky PA does excellent work.
The next morning, Katelynn is re-lacing her shoes from one of Ryan's endless pranks. She's taking a walk down memory lane, recalling the rats in the beds and the hidden dishes, and informs us that the girls are looking for payback. "It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered in their sleep," she warns, and I totally think she's serious and I totally love her for it.
Kate and Dev plot. Dev promises that they will pay. Unfortunately, she promises within earshot of JD. And then of course, the girls gather around the card table whispering, which is all very smooth. The boys go out to the hot tub, and talk about how there's no way the girls are going to get them that night. And so, the girls, who are eavesdropping at the window, decide to get them that night.

Well thank you ChickBomb, you did a great job with your recaps! I for one loved the show. I was really tired of watching the show in different locations with basically the same good-looking people getting drunk off their a$$ and f-ing each other or some other random person. At least this show presented some serious issues and showed more of the roomates personality beyond drinking. As a woman, I was really touched by Chet and Ryan's friendship. It's nice to know that guys have those feelings. Naturally, all the gay jokes had to follow. But really---two guys having a friendship--are we so jaded that we can't believe that. Anybody watch Ryan's Song, Stand by Me, or Bang the Drum Slowly???? I want to thank MTV for respecting the intelligence of their viewers at least once, and putting this show on the air.

Um, I don't think the gay comments started because they were both guys. It was because Chet seemed like a raging homosexual who refuses to come out of the closet. It seemed that Chet wanted Ryan's hair-dong in his back-box during their simplest interactions. It verged on creepy. If Scott and Ryan had acted like that, I don't think there would have been the same reaction.

worst. season. of real world. ever. I am a real world fan, so i gave brooklyn a chance, watching every episode hoping SOMETHING interesting would happen, and it never ever did. The only drama they had was about pranks, how lame, i felt like i was watching a bunch of middle schoolers, ugh. Cant wait for Cancun though!

If I lived in that house, I would have taken advantage of Scotty's workout plan and hopefully at least improve my abs....at least you would have accomplished something.
