I am so confused... so daddy did NOT molest her. Well, um, we weren't there. Maybe there are details we are missing, like the whole molesting part or some sort of sick incestious inapropriate seduction. Sarah gives me a weird feeling. She always has so much advice for everyone around her albeit generic but caring advice... but doesn't seem to reveal very much about her crafty self.

for thoughts on the sarah situation.. i got the impression that even though all she said at first was that he only brought one sleeping bag... i thought she was indicating that things happened but didnt want to go into all of the details...don't know, but id say if he didnt molest her but TRIED to, that's still as bad...
i like sarah so far and don't really see her as being crafty because she didnt come out in the first two days and tell everyone she got molested.. not sure that's quite the conversation starter or introduction she's going for.

Not done reading yet...
I'm also conflicted about the Sarah situation. I certainly don't want to discount her, perhaps its the editing, but it's being pieced together very strangely. Like hollagirl I think it's possible they are leaving out some of the key details that would make us understand. Otherwise, why would be they be trying to prosecute him? For bringing one sleeping bag? I'm with you here, I don't want to speak unkindly of her situation, but I'm not sure what's going on with it.
On another note, when Devyn's doing the monologue in the car about the sharts, I was doing something else and hit rewind to try to figure out who the hell she was talking to before realizing it was her monologue.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one confused by the Sarah thing. I'm still all WTF? Has she never stopped to consider that she over- over-over reacted due to what happened to her at the daycare? And she cut her father out of her life and tried to SEND HIM TO JAIL because he only had 1 sleeping bag? WTF! Someone please tell me there's waaaaay more to the story than this.

At this point I like Sarah, and I really want to believe that there is more to the story than a lone sleeping bag. My initial thought was the same as here4beer. Maybe after her actual assault at the daycare she was on edge about everything and misconstrued her father's actions as being malicious when they really weren't. This also fits in with what her father said about "believeing lies and exaggerations from her mother." This is of course totally possible, but I really don't want to believe that's the case.

Devyn's story this week was hilarious. She is a terrible singer and from the monologue at the audition, a terrible actor as well. When she moves to L.A. she will inevitably be one of those waitresses she hated on. In L.A. big, fake boobs are a dime a dozen, however gap teeth and wigs are most at home at your local Applebees. Sorry hun!

Also, your screencap of her cousin and the Color Purple Quote almost got me fired!

regarding the sarah thing...i watched the "aftershow" or whatever it is called and there was an interview with sarah that went waaaay more into detail. She said he would touch her and make her touch him and say completely inappropriate things. So I guess for some reason the editors decided to keep that part out of the episode. So it looks like sarah's problems are legit.

I agreed with everyone about Sarah's situation until I read heykate7's comment. If that was the case, then her resentment makes perfect sense.
It made me very confused, because lots of parent get into bed with their children while reading or telling them stories at night.
Chet is an idiot with his "forgiveness" thing. Douche.
Devyn is much too full of herself. She's a terrible actress and a very average singer. And alcohol is not an excuse? Please, we've all gotten drunk and said/done things we regretted later.

I'll say it- I too am uncomfortable, bc I am not convinced. Based on her own words in both shows, I can understand why charges were unsuccessful and not taken seriously. I wasn't there, but she has had 8 years to get her claims straight. Before she takes the nationally televised Victim route to accusing a father of molestation, she needs to look at what she is trying to achieve. And how this approach makes it harder and harder for others who are victimized to be taken seriously. Show me a sleeping bag and I'll show you an example of substantiated abuse and the Real World damage that is caused.

Based on Sarah's comments during the show, this sounds much more like Parental Alienation Syndrome than molestation. Of course, I haven't seen or heard the other comments made during the aftershow, so I can't offer my opinion on them.

ohh Hollagirl 2 i didnt mean crafty in a bad way i meant crafty in an arts and craft kind of way since she went and volunteered at the kids place. You have a point, I wouldn't want to come on national television and tell the exact, specific details about sexual abuse.

just in response to heykate7. I watched the aftershow too and she was talking about the guy that molested her at the day care center, not her father. I also felt weird and conflicted about the dad story because you don't want to blame the victim but it seems like she may have been manipulated by her mother a bit there.

Just wanted to say that the person who gave Sara's father the phone number should be shot. Whether or not he did something, she believes he did. So she should not be put in a position to hear from him.

But you know....ratings. What asses.

i am not done reading this yet but i could not go on without commenting on how disgustingly rude devyn was for continuing to pluck her eyebrows while sara told her that story.. she didnt even look at her when she said "that makes u strong" about her family members calling her a liar..
maybe i am overly sensitive about it because i have experienced the same crap as sarah (not with the daycare but with the molesting and then stalking psycho father)
the whole episode and even some of the recap is striking a nerve but i really cant stand devyn
oh and she sucks.. i do the national anthem for the brooklyn cyclones (baseball team) and ill out sing her any day of the week lol

woooo.. deep breath =)

Re: Sarah's issues, Chet's issues, Tranny's issues, etc. MTV finds half a dozen new, emotionally damaged sea monkeys each season, adds water, and the damaged sea monkeys swim around on my TV screen and get up to all sorts of (sometimes) amusing antics. I'm not really going to lose a lot of sleep over each particular sea monkey's emotional problem. They're sea monkeys! Swim for my amusement, alcoholic sea monkeys!

Regardless of what happened, her experience when she was younger made her more senseative to future experiences, thus explainging why the situation with her dad made her feel the way it did. Yes, it may have been pushed a bit further by her mother, but no matter what, our intuition doesnt lie to us, and if she felt uncomfortable enough to feel that way then he was doing something wrong. PLUS being her father and knowing what happened at the day care he should of taken that into consideration realizing, "hey my daughter was molested, maybe she wont appreciate me trying to share a sleeping bag with her."

BUT... I totally agree with NotWithoutMyTV, these people are here stricktly for our entertainment, SWIM SEA MONKEYS, SWIM!

I echo all sentiments with my confusion on the Sarah situation. I was very annoyed at the "HE TRIED TO!" statement. I just kept telling myself there HAD to be more to the story. Of course you can't prosecute intentions, only actual actions. I'm with everyone who said that perhaps her incident at the daycare center made her more sensitive to anything else. And, if her parents split up, it'd be really easy for her mother to want to have Sarah all to herself and poison her against her dad. Not saying that happened of course, but people do strange things when they are bitter over a relationship ending.
And Devyn was incredibly rude by continuing to pluck her eyebrows while Sarah was sharing! She was talking about MOLESTATION! For crying out loud, doesn't that at least get a pause in what you're doing?! wow.
Side note: Just thinking, Sarah used to be a lesbian. I bet it had something to do with her trust issues with men after her past. It's a huge sign of growth (or something, healing?) that she's able to have a boyfriend now. Very interesting.

JD was eating Lucky Charms.

...Sorry, that was bugging me.

I don't know heygirl. I'm pretty sure they were Fruit Loops or at most, Apple Jacks. They were all circular and colorful, whereas Lucky Charms are brown chunks with colorful chunks mixed in. lol

Nope nevermind you're right! They were LUCKY CHARMS!!

I would say that the Real World sea monkeys should probably only eat the special food provided for them by MTV, but I suppose that food would probably be tequila.

I once read an interview where Burnim or Murray (whichever one is still alive) proclaimed that the crew does not and would not ever provide the cast with alcohol. Which is funny, considering that they cast 21 year olds, stack the cast with kids with addict-type personalities, house them within blocks of the local party street, provide them with money, and nothing else to do besides a few "auditions". Dude, why don't you just drive a liquor truck up to the house once a week...

You guys are so right regarding the Sarah sitch. I was only half paying attention and I also felt I missed something.... I mean, what could lunch hurt with her father? Sarah believes something happened, but she may also feel that she doesn't want to be disloyal to her mother by even entertaining what her father had to say. Although, when her father called her a "drama queen," I laughed so hard since that is SO F'N TRUE!

I saw the aftershow, too, but I was little too sidetracked with Sydney's Isaac showing off his new torso tattoo. And, Tyler showing off his boobs with that ugly type shirt that even JD has worn that accentuates his nips. Yuck! On so many different levels. On another note, the Hollywood Stripper is so cool. Lovs me some Briana... I hope she does a Challenge before all is said and done.

Flipit - just wanted to say - FUNNIEST RECAP EVER!!

NotWithoutMyTV:

Bunim-Murray Productions doesn't provide the kids with alcohol or food. That's why they must participate in the job so that they have money to spend throughout the duration of filming.
AND it doesn't take being on a reality show on MTV to live in a house of 21 yr olds who want to party and live close to a liquor store...
just saying. dude.

laughed my ASS OFF @ "It's gona rain on yo head"...funniest shit...her cousin looked like Star Jones too...
