Next morning, everyone is cleaning the house. Cow is counting beer bottles as he heaps them into a garbage bag. That guy cracks me up. So, everyone cleaning....everyone, that is, except for Parisa. She's on the phone with her Mom telling her how she feels so much better and more comfortable. She doesn't feel close to the other roommates though, and then she mentions to Mom that there's a level of violence in the house where people have thrown stuff at each other. Hmmmm, wonder what brought that random, unrelated-except-for-foreshadowing comment into the conversation. I wonder, Sneaky PA, I wonder.
"Seeing anger get to that level...I'm not used to," Parisa tells Mama. Except when it's her anger towards Trash. Ah, another player for the Very Self Aware Show, already starring Dumby and Trasha. Yeah, I know she didn't throw anything, but if what she was spewing at Trash in their fight wasn't "that level" of anger, than I'm not a superficial bitch. Enough said.
The rest of the roomies are still scrubbing away as Princess Parisa strolls by with a big carton of food and heads over to the computer. Trash tells her to pick up a sponge. Parisa says that if they tell her where to clean, she'll clean, but only AFTER she's done working out. The whole "group thing" isn't her "schtick". We know. Marge against the world.
Nobody likes me, I don't fit in, I'm not in the clique, I should just go eat worms, wah, wah, wah, she cries constantly, but she never stops alienating herself. Would it have been so difficult to pick up a damn sponge just to keep the peace? It wasn't only Trasha cleaning, it was EVERYONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE! The treadmill's not going anywhere. Parisa is alienating herself and then crying victim. Just like Mommy taught her.
Parisa comments that their level of irritation has less to do with cleaning and more to do with them feeling like she's snubbing them. Yeah, ya think? But the weird thing is, she says it proudly. What point does she think she's making here?
Who let Spencer Pratt into the gym?
Later on, Dumby heads to the phone for the daily marathon conversation with Julie. When she asks him how he is, he replies, "I'd be a lot better if you'd just do what I told you to." I can not believe he actually said this with a camera in his face. He confronts her about hanging up on him the night before. Well, you were being mean to me, she counters. Oh yes you were, Dumby Bear.
And then, the change. "I wasn't being mean to you, baby," he coos. When informed that he made her cry, he tells her he doesn't want her to ever do that. Oh, he is such an abusive husband. Come on baby, I only hit you cause I love you. You know that. And then, the piece de resistance, he tells her, "You made me go to the bar mad at you." Hear that, Julie? YOU made him do it. It's all YOUR fault he spent the night grinding up on Ashli. Then he proceeds to tell her he kept trying to put it to rest, but she wanted to fight. Seriously, what kind of intervention is it gonna take, Jules?
"Promise me something?" he asks, "Promise me you won't cry anymore?" Julie will not make this promise. "But it hurts me when you cry," he tells her, "it hurts me more than you." Yeah, that bloody belt laceration hurts me way more than you, baby. You know that.
Love hurts. Really, really bad.
That night, KA stirs it up by telling Ashli to sleep in Dumby's bed so she can sleep in Cow's bed. How did this bed thing become mutually exclusive? Don't they have their own beds? I know they do. But, any excuse...
Dumby tells us he takes comfort in sleeping next to someone. They all climb in bed for the big orgy, I mean, slumber party. Cow doesn't know what's going on with Ashli and Dumby but he hopes whatever it is, it's not something that Dumby's going to regret. Dumby Bear doesn't view spending the night wrapped up in another girl's arms as cheating. But just cause you're not fucking doesn't mean you're not cheating, you know. Dumby tells us it's getting rough. Hard, rough, but nooooo he's not cheating.

Oh ChickBomb, I have been waiting for your recap. Bravo!!! Job well done. I too was surprised to see RW on after The Hills. While Parisa has done some things I don't agree with, nothing comes close to how rude and aggressive Trasha has been. Would love to be a fly on the wall when her parents and boyfriend see her antics. Can't wait until next week to see Miss "As a Christian" have the door hit her on the way out!

I official re-christen him Dumby Bear as well.

Hilarious recap! Of course, the episode was AWESOME!!! I played back the shoving scene about 3 times to try and hear what Trasha said before she knocked Parisa. It was something about "I can't talk to them because of their work and church and....."
What I find utterly ridiculous is that after that little diatribe about being Christian and that church stood in the way of her talking to her parents, she had the nerve to lay her hands on someone. She may need to get back to church and brush up a little.
For what it's worth, though, she didn't look like she hit Parisa hard enough to knock her down. I thought it was a well-maneuvered flop. Parisa should play for the NBA.

What she says is my family is busy with work and church and can't talk, so don't say I pick Jarrod over them. Or something to that effect, according to my captioning. I beg to differ on the fact that she didn't push her hard enough. I think she did, but it probably wouldn't have been so bad except for the fact that Parisa fell into a doorway and then over something, it was more than just a push.
I was a little disappointed that they've shown us the push for weeks now, but we can all tell the fallout is what'll be good. Happy Thanksgiving.

Dammit, I need to start watching this show again instead of just reading the recaps!
From the recap:
"He's turning it around and making HER the cheater so he won't feel guilty about banging house whore later, Flippy notes. I'm starting to wonder if I should be watching with Flippy. He's more insightful than me."
Indeed. Flipit is invited to all upcoming Real World parties hosted at my house.

... the producers SUCK!
This episode and the next should have been combined to make one glorious episode. Basically the previews already showed this entire episode... there was so little point in watching. I can't believe they left the push at the end and NEXT week we get the "I pushed a fat girl" thing... What the hell? Lame, lame, lame!

Trasha is quite possibly the most disgusting piece of shit human being I have ever met and/or seen on a reality tv show. Her behavior, comments, rudeness, skunk hair, flaunting Christianity when it's convenient, distorted perception of reality, even her voice, just everything is such complete trashy shit.
Your screencap about "It rang twice! Who are you banging you slut?!?!" cracked me up. Dumby Bear is definitely on his way to the Spousal Abuse Hall of Fame.

I second the opinion that Flipit needs to start watching shows with you. I really enjoyed your recaps at the beginning of the season ChickBomb, and finally about a month ago they degenerated to a point where I just refused to comment because it was adding fuel to the fire. Glad to see funny ChickBomb is back in the swing of things.
I hope that Trash-heap gets sent home. I watched that clip a few more times and decided that she did hit Parisa pretty hard. I don't care how angry you are, you just don't lay your hands on other people. Maybe our Christian princess was attempting some faith healing? It wouldn't be the first idea she got screwed up in that warped little mind of hers.
Ashli is one of the whoriest whores I've ever seen on the Real World. She makes Trashelle seem like a nice southern debutante.
And until Issac sits down and tells us who is on the phone the most, I call bullshit on all of them. Cow will work in a pinch.

You forgot to include Trisha pinching Parisa! lol

pinching, is that what that weird interaction afterwards was?
10 of 19 | Posted by jesshloly | Posted on November 23, 2007 5:39 PM
If I was Parisa I would've rip Trasha's skunk hair out of its tracks. Honestly Parisa needs to grow some cajones and start fighting back and stop being so needy, because she really has potential.

HereKittyKitty,
WB! We missed you!

What was with Trisha yelling "i didn't hit you, bitch?" Uh, clearly.... you did.
And i wonder how Julie feels now watching this shit on tv? if i saw my boyfriend telling another girl that he would fuck her if he was single and cuddling in bed with some hobag you better believe i wouldnt keep him around.. regardless of whether he physically "cheated" or not!!

These. People. Are. Awful.WOW.
I know I'm waaaayyy too old (28) to identify with the cast of this show, but is this truly what's going on with the late teen / early twenty set?! Sweet Jesus! I hope every single one of them gets sucked directly into hell without even dying first...and I say this "as a Christian..."
Ha! Great recap!

I found this episode really boring. The best thing was the dumby bear thing.
The much hyped Parisa/Trasha fight turned out to be a snoozer. Makes me think most of the other hyped stuff that's supposed to happen will turn out to be a snooze fest as well.

Parisa is a tattletale. She isnt nice to any of the roommates. No one likes her because she doesnt give s sh** about anyone else and just talks on the phone with her mommy. She is SO boring to watch. Singing or working out or trying to get on Dumby Bear. She is so annoying! I wish Marge would leave.

I have been coming to TVgasm for the past couple of years and I’ve never felt the need to comment… until now. Chickbomb, you are WAY TOO EASY on the snobby sluts in the house (Trisha, Kelly Ann, and Ashli) and you are WAY TOO HARD on Parisa. The way you make fun of Parisa’s style, how you notice silly things like eyelashes, and how you barely make fun of the “pretty girls” makes me think it is because you are EXACTLY like Trisha, Kelly Ann, and Ashli: stuck-up, close-minded, and superficial.
18 of 19 | Posted by pinky1234 | Posted on November 29, 2007 7:50 AM
I agree, you could be way harder on those other bitches. I can't say that I blame Parisa for not giving a sh*t about any of them because it's not like they've been nice to her. I'm glad Trisha's going home cause she is the worst of them...well KA is really bad too. God I hate them, the only one I like is Isaac. All the others should "get sucked directly into hell without even dying first."- Dramaqn15
