This week on the Real World Brooklyn, the boys act like bitches, and not just the gay one.
This is what we've come to.
We open up on a very, very, very, very messy house. Now I'm not surprised, cause you know in all the Real World houses I've ever watched it's always been a pigsty and there's always been some episode somewhere along the line when people fight about it. Neatness and cleanliness are touchstones of the Real World story arc. And today's the day for Brooklyn.
This season, on the Real World, the boys are the neat freaks. JD walks around with rubber gloves, Ryan's taking out the trash, Chet's in the laundry room. Whistle while you work, boys, but before anyone gets any warm feelings about gender equality, the boys start their bitching about how the girls never clean. They think they're at a resort, gripes Scotty. All Devyn's "capable" of doing is shopping and dating a million guys, says Chet.
Rats? Clean.
Cut to Katelynn, Sarah and Baya feeding each other ice cream while Ryan rinses off some dishes. "They're not team players," is his complaint. Meanwhile, Devyn's naked ass is fast asleep with a lavender eyeshade. JD tells us that all she does is sleep and talk on the phone. See Chet, she's "capable" of more than shopping and dating.
Poor girl's back probably hurts.
But Dev also leaves her hair all over the sinks and that really does gross me out. Actually, the whole mess grosses me out but everyone knows that's just what happens when you have roommates. That's why I live alone. So Chet plucks Devyn hairs out of the sink while she chats on the phone and the other girls laugh like hyenas over their ice cream.
And JD not happy. "It took six hours to clean the house today," he whines. And so he's taken to the computer to type a note to the roomies. Then he calls Baya over to get her in on it. And it's a chore list! "This is the best way to do it, it will be so much fun!" he gushes, enthusiastically ticking off chores on the list while Baya sits there with a WTF look on her face.
"Clean all three showers! Take out the trash! Clean the carpet!" he describes each chore in detail and then asks Baya if she likes the idea. "Oh yeah," she says totally sarcastically. "Really?" JD replies proudly, like see, I knew it was going to be cool! Baya tells us that they're adults, and she's not signing off on some chore list.
Maybe if you used less punctuation and more caps lock.
And now he's got the confidence to bring his new, fun plan to Sarah. "It would be a fun, group thing!" he says, appealing to her freaky side. "I don't know if it would be a fun group thing," she deadpans back. The she tells him she doesn't want to be involved in a chore list. "It's not a chore list," JD mumbles in return, as he clicks over a numbered, well, list of chores.
JD and Sarah have a little argument about whether or not it's a chore list, and then JD tells us how hard it is to talk to Sarah. But you've got to give the guy credit for tenacity, cause two seconds later he's over in the bathroom with Katelynn, selling her the chore plan with the same "Chores are fun!" pitch that fell flat with the other two.
"Listen," Miss Katelynn says, flinging her hair around, "Two of you are neat freaks. I'm not a neat freak. But to say that I must subscribe to your cultist neat phenomenon? No!" Take back the night, girl! Baya sits by giggling. Oh no, honey. JD doesn't like that. No laughing when he's having words with someone. Then Katelynn tells JD "fuck you and your dolphin training ass" which I didn't feel was necessary. And I guess JD didn't either, cause he throws back one of the other time honored and tested real world themes, and that's "respect". Ah, it's not a Real World until someone's not respecting someone else. We have arrived.
When I told everyone you were a tranny after promising to keep your secret, I did it with the most respect possible.
And we have arrived in a pickup truck with some landscaping on the back. What a bizarre design accessory for the outside of the house. What does it do? You can't drive it anywhere. You can't sit on the back of it cause it's filled up with a pile of sticks and a topiary dog.

JD is full of shit.
On the one hand, he says he wants a "family." Who goes through a casting process for a show that has NOTHING TO DO WITH FAMILY to find a familial connection with a series of virtual strangers? He's almost as pathetic as the women who go on dating shows looking for "LOVE!" You don't find love amidst a TV show and you also don't find a family.
Doesn't JD have a psych degree? Why doesn't he find some middle ground with his real family, make amends, and find some understanding and make peace with what happened in his past. I mean, for a family to heal, JD also has to take responsibility for his actions, which he has not done in the house.
He has not apologized for outing Katelynn to Ryan and Chet in the van. He also made fun of Devyn in favor of that drag queen at the club. He doesn't take responsibility and blames being drunk/stupid.
I'm really so sick of these eight people. When is this season even over?
Chickbomb, I truly appreciate your efforts of trying to keep this season interesting when it truly isn't. Your efforts are herculean and honestly, you deserve a raise!

I sided with the guys again in this episode. While Scott may have been a little bit on his high horse, it was with good reason, messes are the worst and the house looked sort of gross.
Katelynn needs to stop acting like she is such a badass, nearly everything she said this episode was said with this weird voice that I doubt she has ever used before. Everytime Devyn spoke this episode she acted like she knew everything about why they were acting the way they were acting and it was pissing me off, so I'm glad she didn't have much time this episode. And Sarah was definitely contradicting herself the entire episode and she really just pissed me off the whole time. While chore lists may not be super fun for everyone, they get things DONE if they are used, and that is the point. Not everything is supposed to be fun.
Maybe JD shouldn't have thrown the phone into the water or broken the table, but I can see myself getting really angry if people were acting like the girls were in this episode.
And how can you NOT love the love between Chet and Ryan!? Chet saying, "I'm glad you're home" just warmed my heart because he's adorable.
I hope I covered everything I wanted to in this comment, I think this may be my longest post ever. I was waiting for this episode to be posted so I could comment, hahah.
Oh, and I am a girl and I always make sure my car has at least a half of a tank of gas!

The slew of typos and grammatical errors in JD's email were appalling. I was embarrassed for him. I thought Baya would have pointed them out, but maybe she just wanted to laugh at him too. I KNEW that screen shot would make it into the Recap, how could it not? I think Sarah is crazy and so is JD. And this is completely beside the point, but Katelynn is such a b****; and for NO REASON! I don't know if she thinks she's funny or is also having an identity crisis, but the cursing and contantly telling people off seems forced. She's not cute and she also has a horrible personality. She also has man thighs. Maybe that's going too far, but when they showed her in her little black panties, I had that thought....

By the by, after seeing this episode, is anyone else NOT surprised that they have a rodent infestation?! Templeton the rat from Charlotte's Web would have been in HEAVEN in their place!

These people are acting like their time in NYC is a vacation. What do they do all day? Ryan actually showed something this episode by enrolling in film school. Sarah is doing something as well, which is good but she is so 'high-on-her-horse' about it. The whole no job this time thing is making the residents look like total tools. Next season, they should have to pay rent/bills and if they can't pay they leave, that would be a little bit more real world.

While I agree that the girls could get off of their p*ssies and clean the house, the guys went about the wrong way. They were annoying and arrogant. Especially Chet's punk ass. I really can't stand that guy. And the way he was acting about Ryan was dramatic and creepy, not adorable, kelsey! I can't think of anything less adorable except that scene in One Hour Photo when Robin Williams is popping a squat on those people's toilet. Newsflash Chet: Ryan survived on Iraq. I think he can handle Brooklyn. Just a thought, could Chet be gay?

i also noticed the "weird voice" katelynn uses when telling someone off or acting tough..
it is an attempt at some kind of accent that she does not normally have..
also that black body suit thing she was standing in the kitchen in made me want to gag

I don't like any of the girls in this season of the Real World. I'd be mad if I were the guys, too. Devyn is lazy, dirty and the diva attitude needs to go. At least hold off on it until you've actually done something significant. Baya is two faced. Sarah is rude. Katelynn I just can't stand. Her attitude and just everything about her is too much.
JD went overboard but I understand their frustrations. Why should they have to pick up after those slobs who don't even appreciate it.

Okay, I can't stand any of these people. They're all ugly, inside and out, which I could have tolerated had they been even remotely interesting.
This season is so boring I forget from week to week whether I watched the previous episode. It's like they're attempting to prove they have personalities, but they try too hard, since they don't know what personalities are. Ugh!

"Katelynn reminds him that she's managed to get through life so far without his instructions."
And look how THAT tranny mess turned out.
The ghost of Katelynn's masculinity tried to hide in my closet last night, but, really, there's no hiding it. Luckily, I spied her adam's apple and a few thick eyebrow hairs, and I got the hell out of there.

Baya Get the F*uck out the HOUSE! Damn girl do sumthin, jeez this girl needs an engaging storyline pronto, and not about her lame attempts for becoming professional dancer. I just like to point out she has an amazing ass, but quite possibly one of the most boring rommates since Simon from RW Paris.
Chet+Ryan = Cheyan or Ryet! Best Bromance ever, I've never seen such a budding romance between two roomates since the gagfest of Austin b/w Danny and Melinda. It's cute of Chet being so concerned of Ryan's Well being. Plus I want CHET kick ass hat. lol
I do understand the issue keeping a clean household. I've been raised to clean dishes, take out garbage and clean after myself. So seeing all that mess I would be quite pissed off myself by the laziness of other roomates.
So all in all, entertaining episode despite the shitty season and thanks for the awesome recaps. Keep up the awesome work.

Oops, I didn't know there were 4 men in the house! If you watch the episode with your eyes closed, you'd think you are dealing with a bunch of women. I can't side with the men. If you can't respect even the dirtiest of us all, they won't bother with you either. They were condescending and self-righteous.
Post-dramatic stress disorder my ass! Ryan is a bitch! The fact that he went off was irrelevant and annoying. While I'm on the subject, there's nothing about his movies that hasn't been done before! I might as well cut to the chase, I can't stand Ryan.
FYI Chet, nothing would happen to Ryan. There's a freaking camera crew following him.
There must be a lot of estrogen in that water or all of these men are closeted gays! Please come out, you will all make more sense!

Chickbomb! Aaaaaaaaugh! These people are sapping my will to live!
I just had one question: Did JD clean up the mess he made when he broke that table? Because if he didn't, then that was very disrespectful of him to leave a bunch of sharp pointy glass-shards behind for someone else to clean up.
Oh yeah, and violent outbursts against defenseless furniture? Even if it's from IKEA? ISH. EWES. I would have been calling the producers to either get him out or an emergency-furniture-abuse-counselor in.
Awesome job, so sorry this season is such a snoozer (not to mention annoying) but you're doing a fine job.
love, J-Mo :)
your ChickGay
P.S. Flipit and the BF and I missed you at lunch on Oscars Weekend! You must come next time, K?

I don't watch this stupid show often, but this episode I did. And went to the RW website. To see if anyone had a 20/20 hindsight change in attitude.
Didn't see that, but according to the RW blogs, JD was made to clean up and pay for the table he broke.
Still think the girls are sacks. Just because we are girls does not mean that we can change the rules of basic etiquette. If you use gas, put it back. If you dirty a plate, clean it. To assume that the magic fairies will come behind you is rude. Because, with the exception of a few, their are no magic clean fairies, and you are expecting ME to fill/clean up for you. These kind of manners are not gender specific.

When Katelynn was ranting about how she's not somebody's "wench," I was thinking that maybe she liked the attention by the boys about her mess. Maybe it made her feel more like a girl/woman since men were expecting her to clean up? It seemed like she was waiting for someone to complain so she could play the sexist card and be like I'm no one's wench or whatever she said... it's like she thrives on bitching or complaining because now she feels she's a woman and she has a right to act that way?? I'm not trying to say women are bitches/complainers because I am one! She's making us look bad...and I can't stand that ghetto tone she uses. where the HELL did that come from??? I wouldn't be able to look at her without cracking up if she talked to me like that.
