Welcome back to the Real World Brooklyn! This week, war is bad, Chet wants to be famous, Scotty becomes a player and Devyn doesn't like it. Sound exciting? Well, keep reading anyway.
Tall enough to ride. YAY!
This week, we're going to spend a little time with Scotty and his abs of steel. Scotty's goal while he's in the big city is to pursue "modeling and acting". How original! He goes off to have some photos taken...in his panties. Scotty talks a lot about the importance of "connecting" with various photographers. As he runs through a series of beefcake poses for a definitely creepy, older guy photographer, the "connection" thing's got me concerned. Especially with the photographer cooing direction like, "Legs wider...you obviously love doing the body stuff".
OMG I can see your soul through this lens. Oh wait sorry. Your chest was just shining. Come here and let me powder that for you tiger.
Scotty seems pretty sure that things are going great. With the undies modeling career, that is. Sadly, things with Marisa, the hometown girl, have fallen apart. She's basically cut off contact with him. He tells JD that they're "splitting" cause she won't talk to him. But he bounces back pretty quickly, like in the next sentence, when he tells JD that he likes talking to girls and learning about things, and dating's what they're supposed to be doing at their age anyway, right? Well, I think so.
Just stretching.
Back at the house, it's fashion week! Before anyone gets excited about a DVF from The City crossover, we get a look at Sarah, who looks less fashion and more...goth? And then we learn that Sarah just loves dressing other people? Today's victim looks like it's gonna be Baya, who ends up in one of the same hippy dippy silver jewelry accessorized outfits that she wears every day anyway. Sarah, in addition to looking like a complete outcast, just comes off as looking like she's trying way too hard.
Whoever sits behind her is gonna be really pissed off.
The "fashion show" turns out to be some kind of art-meets-fashion event that only a pseudo-hipster could love. Complete with cut up paper outfits and interesting looking models. And by interesting, I mean not hot. But that isn't going to stop Scotty from hitting on them. Devyn, who's the only one of the roommates who looks remotely fabulous, ruins it by caring far too much what Scotty's up to. "I'm so happy for you, you had an excellent day!" she tells him fake-cheerfully later that night. But the facade fades fast, as she asks for a word by word replay of how he picked up his hos. Then she calls him a skank. Cause she's pretty much over it.
Deep.
Meanwhile, it's prank time for Ryan. Today's trick is to take everyone's shoelaces, unlace them and tie them back up backwards. "That way their shoes don't work," he tells us excitedly. Anyway, he calls it a harmless prank and sets happily about the house "breaking" everyone's shoes. Then he does his own to throw everyone else off the trail because Ryan is a very, very smooth criminal.
But JD's an intrepid sleuth, and tracks down Scotty and Katelynn to get a revenge scheme going. And he's also got a suspect. Of course JD thinks it's his arch-nemesis Chet, but he's wrong. He's also got a pretty stupid revenge scheme involving shaving cream. That would have been a great plan if this was the Real World Summer Camp and everyone was five. But as it is, the shaving cream scheme does not go over so well. JD squirts it through the ceiling all over Ryan and Chet's beds, while Katelynn is the voice of reason telling him that it's stupid. JD ignores her and gleefully goes about getting his revenge on all the straight dudes who ever picked on him by covering Chet and Ryan's beds in shaving cream. Then he runs off like a girl.

I think Devyn has officially taken the title of "possible stalker" from top chef's Leah and run with it! She was so obnoxious this episode. Someone should let her know that Scott likes girls that actually look like girls, not a guy dressed as a girl.

Devyn's comments (Scott will like me someday!) might be SLIGHTLY similar to the ones friends and I made in middle school or early early early high school. I'm just saying, we grew out of it.
And as a Chet fan, I'm always justifying his fashion choices for myself, so I sort of think he looks cute in his little vests and bowties. And I have glasses like his, (not huge, but reasonably sized...and they are for seeing), so I just choose to like them.

um devyn really creeps me out...she is completely dilusional about scott's apparent "secret feelings" for her...
by the way, you left out the fact that when chet went into the room to bother scott with his date he ripped a huge fart and got scott all pissed off. LOL

How can these women not see how absolutely desperate they are coming off on national TV? First, Leah on Top Chef and her Hosea obsession, and now Devyn and her conviction of "Scott's secret feelings". Um, that feeling is friendship with a touch of creeped out.

oh sweet bejesus! devyn has officially turned into a crazy a la leah. i heard a funny story yesterday. my friend has a friend who does camerawork for the real world. apparently on the last night of real world hollywood there was one giant orgy. delightfully gross. happy monday!

Efk2020: Was that the funny story? B/c that was definitely TMI. Gross.
Next week looks like it'll be interesting. I completely forgot that Katelynn wasn't 'out' to everyone yet b/c everyone already knows. Since the editing gets dates out of order I wonder how soon this confrontation happens between Katelynn and Ryan.
Also, does ANYONE think Katelynn looks like a girl? She looks just like a man to me, no matter what she does. It's the jaw line! She looks like a man with long hair. Especially when she was on her date, she just isn't feminine at all.

ChickBomb! Girrrrrul, they are working you to da bone this season. Shoelace pranks and giggly delusions of "he likes me, he really, really likes me!"??!?!?!? Did they cast a bunch of high-school kids? I dunno, I just feel like they're giving you next to nothing to work with (especially when the stray outsiders who flit around the periphery of the show seem to be so much more interesting). Still, I loved the screen cap of JD putting his arm nonchalantly behind Scotty.
And why is it wrong for Scotty to date different girls? Because the different girls are not Devyn? Please, the House Of Delusion is fully-open for business there!
love to you!
love, J-Mo :) (a.k.a. ChickGay)

Welcome back, CB. Poor you. This is no ROL.
Devyn's delusional, and not in the cute or amusing way. Even if Scott was bringing over those girls to make a point, I think the point is that he likes skinny, flat-chested, multiracial (with just a daaash of mocha to spice things up) chicks. Not muscular dark chocolate with Double D funbags. I.e., not you Devyn.
Scott is that guy who likes to be around women because they make him feel good about himself. He's auditioning cuddle buddies. And Devyn doesn't get that.
I miss my deliciously sarcastic Ryan in this episode. I'm uncomfortable with depressed but hiding it Ryan.
Chet + Ryan = soul mates
Chet's awesome at interviewing "celebrities". He should get his own show.
That's it.

P.S.
Flipit did a good job last week as your replacement. That kid's got potential! :)

Nope, that's not it.
I forgot to mention the manny, er uh...Katelynn. LOL@ the Adam's apple giving away K's secret. Thank you! Who does she think she's fooling? As soon as she walked through the door, Ryan called it and he's not the smartest guy in the room (well, maybe the RW room but still). She's really fug to me. Not feminine at all.She looks like a geeky guy with long hair in women's clothes.
And where is she getting those dark circles under her eyes from? What's keeping her up so late?
