Upstairs, Dev is recounting her first day of being eye candy for creepy Mr. Jovani. "I spent 90% of the day trying on dresses," she reports to Chet. See? Told you. And Lord knows what she was doing in those dresses cause she's has now been promoted Public Relations Director / In House Model for Jovani and they're paying her $20 an hour to do it. This is a better title than Sheri Simon, who's no doubt been taking the Long Island Rail Road over to this job for the better part of her adult life. Chet's impressed, tells us that a lot of celebrities wear Jovani. Well, if you consider Devyn a celebrity. Which Chet probably does.
Wanna do Chet Chat?
"Can you believe I have a job?" asks Devyn. No, Chet tells her, he can't. "What does that mean?" she retorts. "That I think you're lazy and incompetent," he tells her casually. Well, one thing about Chet is he'll say it to your face. Not all two-faced like his gay sidekick JD. Hey, where is JD today? I think last week might have worn him out. But Dev nabs Chet in the end for his little comment, pointing out that he's insulting her with "marshmallow goop hanging off your mouth". That's her exit line, and she leaves Chet there inspecting the marshmallow goop from his face.
And what's this? A dance class? Baya tells us she has a positive attitude. And the more she dances, the easier it will get for her to catch on to routines. And then it's time for Baya's Fame! montage. You've got to want it! There's lots of 1-2-3-4's and 5-6-7-8's being yelled and Baya dancing and you know what, it looks like she's gotten a lot better! "You should have to ask yourself all the time what am I doing?" she says, because that's when you know you're learning. What's with all the Real World wisdom today?
At night, Ryan and Chet go to a Danger Radio show. "They're invited us to sit in the VIP section," Chet brags. The VIP section seems to be a booth off the side of the stage. The band plays their generic brand of emo/punk/pop that seems to be permeating this Brooklyn thing, and major points to Christina from Atlantic Records. These bands are a dime a dozen but this is the only one I've ever heard of.
This will come in handy in a couple years when you start working the pole.
The boys invite Danger Radio (see, that's three times now I had to say their name, Christina) back to the house, and holy crap, Chet's doing an interview in a sleeveless lavender hoodie. Which in itself is problematic enough, but he's naked underneath it. So just to be clear - a sleeveless lavender hoodie and nothing underneath. I'm just too horrified to type for a few minutes.
Wow. Just wow.
The roommates cluster awkwardly around the band in one of the bedrooms. Chet thinks that Ryan should play his music for the band. Chet thinks Ryan's the greatest, and everyone else should think that too. Chet so hearts Ryan. Ryan serenades the group with a funny song about Gettysburg. "I live in a town stuck in 1863," he harmonizes. It's kind of cute, but I just can't think of an outlet for it.
So the roommates and the bandmates play around in the house and make friends. Sarah likes the nights when they're all friends. Chet escorts the band out, and they tell him it was their best interview ever. Well, more than likely it was their first televised one, so that's probably why. "I'm ready for MTV," declares Chet.
And the next day, he's on the phone with another Christine or Christina over at MTV. This lady's the head of on air talent and VJs - are they still using that word cause really, when does MTV play videos? The Danger Radio concert was the closest we've gotten since the advent of this very show we're watching. And Chet has miraculously procured Christine's number from Pete Wentz, sanctioned MTV artist and owner of sanctioned MTV bar, Angels & Kings. See how it all fits together? Like a big MTV shaped puzzle.
Anyway, Christine wants to know if Chet has a reel or a headshot. Since he has no experience with any of this stuff and is just getting his chance cause of the whole puzzle thing, Chet has neither, but promises to get both together in a few days. "I came out here wanting to get on MTV and this is my chance," Chet tells us happily.

OK, while I think Devyn is gorgeous (in certain pictures), part of me hates her for having these connections and not having to work the way others do. She gets to interview with a Braodway-affiliated producer because of her cousin. Now, she gets the Jovani gig because of her Aunt. On the one hand, way to represent, but on the other, could she actually get a gig on her own? Admittedly, that would negate other MTV reality shows like the Hills, etc. But still . . . Lol to Chet for calling her out. But, double-lol to her for calling out Chet’s goofiness. While I doubt Devyn will hold onto the job for long, I’ll cross my fingers.

I have to say this: I find Chet to be the ugliest looking guy I've seen.

"A whole restaurant devoted to HoHos. Great idea!"
I loved this screenshot, but actually it's a freaking brilliant idea. I could totally see myself dumping 90% of my disposable income in a place like that

"A girl who looks like a boy tells Katelynn they want to do a presentation."
I think the recapper meant "ANOTHER girl who looks like a boy."
Real World nauseates me because you have to wonder how many naive teens watching it think that their dream is going to fall into their lap (or it will come find them as they're getting stupid drunk at the local bar.) You watch some clueless wonder chirp "I want to be an actress, or a singer, or maybe a clothing designer, or there was that time when I wanted to be a news anchor!" and the next day, MTV has set them up with a fake job. They never do a thing to earn any of these opportunities. Phew. Now that I've got that off my chest, I gotta go chase some kids off my lawn...

I'm guessing Devyn's never heard of Cheesecake Factory? LOL.

Well anicho01 sometimes it really is "Not what you know but who you know." Most people struggle to just get a break, but not everyone.
I dislike Chet and I am glad he is stuck with a name like Chester. The only funny thing about him is to see how much he is in love with Ryan but would never admit it to himself.

I can't believe nobody's said anything about Chet's mother's voice...so I will: nails on a chalkboard.

I heard on the Innerweb that Kaitlynn has made an exclusive deal with Costco to distribute her book, entitled "It's Not A Dildo, It's a Medical Device!"
There's talk of a follow-up book, possibly titled "Crysalis: How Pretty Boys Become Ugly Girls".
