And speaking of, Rihanna's on the phone with Boyfriend, and Brawny and CJ are in on it too. They tell the tale of the great hammock fake out, and Rihanna makes sure to tell him that after it was all over, her and CJ snuggled for a real long time. Boyfriend's not happy. And Rihanna's annoyed. Why doesn't he understand that it's all just her special way of being faithful? Like the promise piercing.
Later on, Rihanna and CJ go shopping for matching cheap woven bracelets. CJ gets on one knee to fasten Rihanna's bracelet, and is rewarded with another adoring gaze. They stroll through the plaza and the locals call them honeymooners. "Muy happy-o!" trills CJ. I love his handle on the language, I really do. Brawny and Joey agree that sooner or later, they're definitely doing it.
Back at the house, Joey's playing his band's CD for the group. They're called Late Night Wars. I suppose I should mention that. The roomies are impressed. They all play air guitar. Brawny is pleasantly surprised. He thought they were going to suck. Insecuritee Emilee would play it in her car. One person who is not impressed is Ayiiia. She prances in the living room, taps him on the shoulder and tells him fakely, "It's so loud, I'm trying to sleep." He thinks he's so cool, she complains to us.
In their room, Ayiiia and Jasmine are busy not liking Joey, and now they're focusing on a suspicious sore on his lip. He says it's sunburn, but the girls are thinking herpes. Ewww. Jasmine wants to Google it. I say, better off not knowing.
Pass.
The next morning, Mistress Christina is back to interview the roomies and decide what jobs she wants them to do. She wants to know what they'd do to break up a fight. Joey and Ayiiia both say that they're peacemakers. Well, clearly. Ayiiia's also pissed about the no drinking rule. She's full of attitude back in the suite with the group, but in the meeting with Christina she accepts her lame "It's to protect the company" excuse pretty easily.
That night they go out for one last wild night before Student City owns their asses. The night's pretty uneventful, until it's time to go and there's some conflict allegedly about Ayiiia's missing cigarette and Joey not having the full roomie count, but it's really about the fact that they just kind of hate each other. Storm's about to break!
Joey tells Ayiiia to shut up, and I think he calls her a bitch too. It's all pretty inarticulate and not at all clever in the way of a putdown, but Joey's bragging about he really "put her in her place". Ayiiia strikes back with a musical number. "Herpes on your lip! Herpes on your lip!" she sings joyfully. And all of the sudden, Joey's really not amused.
He walks over to Rihanna and CJ and tells them that Ayiiia just thinks she's better than everyone else, which is funny because that's the exact problem she has with him. At some point he decides he wants to spit in her face. Oh no, we are not going down this road again. The spitting thing just grosses me out on every level.
But we are. The girls are over at the taco stand picking up a late night snack, and Joey decides he's going to spit onto Ayiiia's taco. I can not believe it. He goes over to the taco stand and proceeds to stare creepily at her. As soon as she gets her taco, he grabs the bag, yanks it open and yes, spits in it. And now, Ayiiia is not amused. She even punches a wall.
Actually, Ayiiia's crying. And Joey's damn proud of himself. They all get on a bus, which is a little weird, and he sits in the back and taunts her. I don't know what he's representing more - loser or complete idiot.
It's a tough call.

"CJ respects me! CJ respects Boyfriend! As soon as she gets home, she's back on the phone with Boyfriend, who sounds like he's about to die without her. This is so boring. And who does she think she's fooling?"

sorry but aiiiyahhiaiai really annoys me. "i don't like sarcasm whine whine." deal with it? it's called, a sense of humor, and she doesn't have one. if she was screaming "herpes on your lip" at me at the top of her drunken lungs i'd be pretty pissed, too, even if it was true.
i feel bad for the roommates because their job SUCKS. i can understand not being able to drink and smoke while on the job, but the whole time they're there...? it's a little ridick and doesn't sound like much fun at all.

A few comments:
Chickbomb, didn't we have girls versus boys in Brooklyn last season and do you remember how vomit inducing that was?
Also, did anyone catch the confessional where Joey was talking how much he hates girls? My boyfriend was like, "Is he gay?" because his behavior was textbook homo (I'm a gay man, before anyone takes offense)
He promotes himself as drama-free, creates his own problems, and then plays the victim.... not cool!
Also, I like Jasmine more now too. Although, Derek suffered this week in my book. I don't get him saying he's neutral aka "Canada," but having an opinion and expressing it to everyone! I call Bullshit.
The CJ/Jonna relationship is annoying. Bring on Ayiia and Emily's insta-lesbianism next week!

How does someone with 3 I's in their name not "get along" with sarcasm? When it comes down to it, I'd rather hang out with Joey than AyIIIa anyway. Actually, I'd rather hang out with Bronne because he's hilarious.
I'm really liking this season so far. It reminds me of Australia.I'm one of those dorks who has seen every season, too. For some reason I was randomly thinking of the Amaya / Colin relationship the other night. Weird, I know.

Ok, so first, just wanted to add the roommates getting on a bus isn't so weird bc in cancun there is a bus that runs up and down the strip for all of the drunk spring breakers to take instead of sketchy cabs.
Anyway, I think I actually dislike Derek the most. He is entirely too neutral...how could someone agree that spitting on someone's food was ok bc it was provoked?
I also really dislike Jonna and I don't really think she is as pretty as everyone says. I hate girls who can't get along with other girls.
Joey seems like he could be ok but has a lot of maturing to do. And the others seem ehh to me. They are all growing on me a little.

Real World Cancun >>>>> Real World Brooklyn
I'm actually enjoyin this season so far...I had a few chuckles when Broone pretended to be Jo and ended up sacking up with CJ and the fake fight btw Joey and Ayaii was quite entertaining. I'm on team Joey from the whole altercation but he was shit outta luck when he started singing around the girls with his expensive guitar in hand.
I cant wait till next week when we see faux-lesbian hookup btw Ayaii and Emilee. The whole situation reminds me of the line Issac said about Rachel. "I think Rachel is a real Lesbian, not those, my dad didn't pay any attention to me, so I kiss random girls in club Lesbian."Issac def. deserves all the love he gets from us. That quote still gives me chuckles.

Did anyone notice, during all the gratuitous cuddling, that it looked like Rihanna didn't have her "promise piercing" in? It looked like she had it off, then it would show her with a band-aid on.
I also tend to side with Joey, even though the whole thing was pretty stupid. Who doesn't like sarcasm? Sheesh.

Awesome recap Chick Bomb. The screenshots of CJ and Rihanna had me laughing out loud.
I think when Derek is saying he's Canada, it doesn't mean he's neutral, it means he's boring. It's a subtle difference.
I always tell all my friends when they go to Mexico they need to take the bus at least once. It's kind of like public transportation meets The Road Warrior, and is the most excitement you'll ever be able to buy in your life for a quarter.
"This will be the best experience of your life." Really Christina, well what the hell about my life, huh? The only reason I had decided to watch this show this season was to see drunken Real Worlders go pinballing around a prime party location, and now that's been taken away from me. This is all looking like a bait and switch situation right now, and I feel violated. Please God, let these yahoos have enough common sense to just come home to the Real World suite and get trashed there.
Anyway, awesome recap and keep them coming.

Grrrrrreat recap Chickbomb!
I normally don't comment or anything, but I just had to let you know that everyone's favorite egomaniac Megan is getting her own show subtly titled "Megan Wants A Millionaire". Fail.

I can't believe no one's said it yet -- My first impression of Emiliee was "OMG - Colie 2.0!!"
